I have been visiting Mike and his sons for more than 25 years. I brought my sons here and when my Mom and Dad used to visit brought them in too. The guys are great and very friendly. Mike is an old world kind of barber. You walk in tell him what you want and it is expertly done. No muss no fuss. They always have a smile at the ready and a lollipop for the kids. If some feel it is a bit more expensive than say the chains, I say for the neighborhood friendliness and great service, who cares if it costs a bit more.

This is a traditional barbershop where you can get a cut and a shave. I've been going here for years myself and brought my boys here since they were tiny. The barbers are friendly and are all related. Its a father, a son and a cousin. They're nice guys who give consistently good haircuts, although I prefer a cut from the younger two. Their prices are completely in line with other barbers in the area. Cheaper, in fact than some. I think its $17 or $18 so $20 if you count the tip. They give out suckers to the kids, which is why my daughters always like going too.

I just moved from Melrose and am in the process of finding a new barber. So as I'm browsing online reviews in my new area I thought I'd circle back and put in a good word for my old place. I loved Pond View and will miss them a lot. Finding a barber you like can be tough, but these guys made it easy. From the first time I walked in the door they were super friendly and easy to talk to. I never worried about getting a bad cut or which chair I sat in. They are all great. Clearly they have strong relationships with their customers as it is a family business and I think its been there forever. I have a lot of fond memories and recommend it highly.

overpriced for the area, no senior discount but decent haircut
