Boston Barber & Tattoo Co. in
West New Boston (MA)

Been coming here for years, best in the biz. Never gotten a bad cut here. Today I got my first cut from Karol and it’s the best yet! She took her time and put effort in, it didn’t feel rushed. Can’t go wrong here. Cash only. This place is a Boston institution

The shop has a neighborhood feel with high end work. From being made comfortable and taken care of by the receptionist to the amazing work of Mike C, the experience is amazing. Every time I leave I feel like a new man!

Anthony did a great job cutting and styling my difficult hair. Listened to what I wanted and took it to the next level. Will definitely be back!

The tatt I got here was a simple black band. I figured it would be pretty hard to mess it up, but it's very blotchy and inconsistent. Even after having to go back and get it fixed, its not ideal and I'll probably be getting it redone somewhere else. As far as haircuts go, I was able to get a decent fade here. Nothing breathtaking, and it would have been better if they had actually used a real razor instead of just clippers.

Great place! My son(14) and I are regular customers the last 9 years! Michael Colangelo is one of their top-notch barbers! We have only had great cuts and experiences thru the years! We no longer live in the area but still make the drive in from the suburbs. Love This Place!!

Michael Colangelo is the only guy I'll let cut my hair now. He's very detail oriented, and clearly cares about the craft, trying new techniques to give me the best haircut possible. I didn't have a solid barber shop to go to in Boston that knew what to do with my hair until I tried this place, but these people are legit. Gonna continue to go here as long as I live in Boston.

Great location. Comfortable. Professional. Will definitely get My Haircut but Michael again. His attention to detail is unmatched. Easily best barber to ever cut my hair.

This is my first time getting a tattoo at Boston Barber and Tattoo with Juan. And I will definitely be back. Juan is the best. I love his creativity and art work. I completely trusted him with my custom tattoo. Thank you Juan!

I love this place so much - I have been coming here since 2020. The vibe is chill, and they offer many beverages while you wait. It is an easy walk from Boston Public Market where you can park your car. Cash Only, so stop by the ATM or use theirs on site. I have been going to Adrianna for years, but I think she has left now.

Had a fantastic tattoo done by Jason while in town visiting. .He spent time making sure that the tattoo was exactly what i wanted . Everything from start to finish was outstanding..i have had multiple tattoos done at Miami Ink and this tattoo is the best one ever . THANKS JASON : YOU ARE THE BEST

Hack job. A lot of talk and fluff. No substance. Weren’t interested in what I actually wanted for my hair. Made me feel like an unimportant number. Hair looks terrible. No balance and doesn’t fall right. I’m going to have to wait at least two months for my hair to grow out so that I can find a suitable barber who actually cares and knows what they’re doing. I wouldn’t recommend going here. FYI, I didn’t have an appointment. I was a walk-in. Charlotte was the name of the person who cut my hair. She charged me $60 for the haircut. I was surprised by this amount because i thought the sign that I saw near the front desk read a lower amount. Maybe they make the prices up as they go.

Super cool shop and even cooler staff! My mom and I were visiting Boston for vacation and were wandering around and stumbled upon this shop. I’m so glad we did! Gavin squeezed us in with Nadia for a Wednesday appointment to get matching tattoos. Every station is very clean and the staff is super caring. We were all joking around and sharing lots of laughs. Nadia did an awesome job on our tattoos! Beautiful line work and great detail work! Thank you guy so much!!! 🖤🖤🖤 I will be back next time I’m in Boston 😎🤙

Visiting Boston on vacation and this place looked really cool. Thought it would be nice for my husband to get a beard trim. We didn’t have an appointment but they were kind enough to work him in. They told us that Charlotte would take him but she was at lunch so we waited just a bit. Enjoyed a free beer. It was a quick trim with a straight razor and clippers (for $20 plus tip) So we headed out and I took a look at him in the natural light. The left side of his face looked perfect but the right side was really uneven. A totally different angle and a whole line of hair was left untrimmed. No biggie he said, I can just shape it up later. But then I looked at his neck and noticed it was bleeding pretty bad. He hates to complain but we didn’t have a napkin or sanitizer so I sent him back in and another barber sanitized it and helped stop the bleeding. Probably not the best experience overall but we did like the vibe of the shop and everyone was friendly.

All the artists are very welcoming. Courtney was of great help. Very easy straight-forward process. The artist who worked on me, Mariya, left me with a tattoo that exceeded my expectations. I left the parlor ecstatic and fulfilled! I would love to work with Mariya again and I 100% recommend her for anyone and for those looking for realistic, hyper-reslistic, or detailed line work! Thanks guys!

So, I went to this place a year ago and I have received a fairly poor executed haircut. I decided to give it another shot, and second time it was far worse experience. Unfriendly barber who made me wait for 5 minutes for no reason, then I showed this barber pictures of my hair and how I would like it. As a result, I have received a TEN MINUTE CLEAN UP AT A PRICE OF REGULAR HAIRCUT. At this point I gave up because I don't think I should explain to the barber every single step of haircut that I have shown on the picture. There is a complete lack of desire to do work here, so I am not coming back to this place.

I got my cut like 2 months ago with Adrianna. Best cut I ever got ngl. If I wouldn’t be from Germany I would definitely go to Boston barber every once a month. The cut was perfect. The products were actually so good that I bought all of them now and the whole vibe and the people are excellent. A must go for everyone who’s lookin for a stress free cut with chill talks and top result. I hope I can come again at some point:)

I’ve been getting my cut with David for almost two years. He is the consummate professional and takes enormous pride in his success he has at their Beacon Hill location. Everyone on staff is friendly and has an edge - best barber shop in Boston - fact.

Hands down the best of the best! This is my second session with Cat on a very important and meaningful sleeve I’m working on. It required a partial cover up, that had been turned down by many artists before her. She absolutely killed it and gave me the most beautiful tattoo. She brought my ideas and themes to life in a way that is bold and timeless. Her attention to detail and placement is impeccable and it is the only place I will go for tattoos.

Had a fantastic experience getting a tattoo! I wanted to get a magpie on my side in the style of black and grey realism. After reviewing the online profiles, I requested Juan as my artist because of his attention to detail. I received a call a few days after that and booked my appointment. The staff was very professional and Juan's passion for his art was evident. After showing him my reference picture, he said that he was very excited to tattoo it. The entire session took about 4 hours and we were able to take a few restroom and snack breaks. I put my headphones in and just zone out. I was blow away by quality of the finished product. The level of detail was better than I imagined. I also had a very smooth recovery process thanks to Juan's care and instructions. I would highly recommend having Juan as your artist if you are interested in a realism piece.

Been going to Courtney for just under a year here. She is a superstar! The shop itself has an awesome vibe with great banter and a nice coffee bar. But COURTNEY, dude. I’ve never received more compliments in my entire life on a cut. Every time she cuts my hair it lasts me for ages and it’s expertly done. Great shop to patronize!

This has been my go-to place for haircuts for several months at this point, so the least I can do is leave a review. One of the most important aspects for me when I was looking for a barbershop after moving into Boston was punctuality. I need to be able to schedule an appointment and, when I arrive at my booked time, get my hair cut within a reasonable period of time after the appointment. This location was my 3rd or 4th attempt; other locations were too flexible and had too many walk-in customers taking my appointments… forcing me to wait 20-30 minutes to be seated. Never had a problem at this location; at most, I’ve had to wait 10 minutes after my appointment to be seated, which is very reasonable. I’ve yet to be disappointed in a haircut I’ve gotten here. My go-to guy, Dave, consistently gives me a good cut every time I’ve needed one; especially right before important events such as friends’ weddings or corporate dinners. Highly recommend this barbershop.

Everyone is welcoming and the shop is very clean which is a HUGE thing you should look for when getting tattoos. I’ve gotten multiple pieces from Olivia Fox and will look no further when I need to place my trust in an artist. Olivia is super sweet and an absolutely incredible artist. Currently working on a leg sleeve project with her. I highly recommend this shop.

BBTC is hands down the best shop in New England! Couldn't convince me otherwise. Every artist in this shop has pure unraw talent! Just wish I had found them earlier in my life. Will never let another shop touch my skin again! They are a true gift to the people! Thank you for everything you do!

First time here for a haircut and I am thoroughly pleased. I asked for a low skin fade and received far beyond my expectations. I had Adrianna as my barber. The attention to detail was immaculate not a single hair was overlooked. Very cool atmosphere in the shop. This barber shop is of the highest quality. If you’re even thinking about coming here you definitely should because you will be glad you did!

Amazing professional tattoo shop! I worked with Cat who is a crazy talented tattoo artist that took my concept design and made it into a beautiful piece that I am proud to wear. Oh by the way, she did all of this with me over email since I was out of the state for the time leading up to it. Just trust her and her design work because she will really make your ideas come to life in the most incredible way. Highly recommend

What can I say?..Lauchie Macdonald is a superb artist and great guy! Went in early August, met with him, talked over what I wanted and what he could do for me. First appointment was last Friday and well worth the wait - it's a tat, gonna be on me until I'm worm food so why not wait for the BEST!!! Going back in a couple weeks so he can finish his excellent work!!! Don't have much hair, so can't review the barber shop side but the Tattoo side and Lauchie rocks! Thanks!!!!!

Visited Boston for a weekend, and found this place! It looked so cool from the outside that we couldn't not go in. Super friendly people who fit me in for a walk-in, and I couldn't be happier with it! Brian did the small leaf and he was very friendly and professional. I've never felt so at home in a tattoo shop before.
