Matt's Barber Shop is THE place to go to get sharp cuts in Amherst. I've been there only a handful of times but not one time did I leave with a haircut anything less than exactly what I wanted. Every barber has their pros and all of them hold a standard often missed by other local barbershops and especially big chain ones. Right when you step into Matt's you get a sense of feeling right at home. From the time they greet you to the time you step out of the chair and out the door, they make sure to handle your individual style and hair-type with care and precision. 5/5 would recommend .

I've been going to Matt for as long as he's had his shop, and I'm baffled by the negative reviews here. He has consistently given me first-rate haircuts and beard trims. He and the other barbers always ask what type of cut I want, and they do it. They treat all customers with respect and cordiality. The atmosphere in the shop is warm and friendly; all customers, from very young children on up, are made to feel welcome. Be prepared for a long wait if, like me, you want Matt to cut your hair--but it's worth it. And the prices can't be beat.

amazing matt isa great guy and is a great barber

After struggling to find a place in Amherst that could consistently cut my hair well, I came across Matt's Barber Shop 5 years ago. Over the last 5 years I have consistently gotten a great haircut and experienced wonderful customer service on each visit. If the mood is "clearly forced" as another reviewer has suggested, he and his staff have been forcing it on every visit for the last 5 years. By far the best haircuts in the area and I personally enjoy the positive atmosphere. Keep it up guys!

I've received two great cuts in a row there now. Matt asked, listened, and nailed it both times. He and Derek are really nice, cool with everyone who walks in there, and even play around with the kids. I've seen just about every race-type of hair in there between those two times, which is rare. These guys know what they're doing.
