Fast Eddies Barbershop

This is by far the worst haircut I’ve ever gotten.
I asked Eddie for a trim on top, he clipped off most of what was up there. The job was sloppy, uneven, and looked worse once it grew in. Paid way too much to get such a bad haircut. Guy just wanted to get me out of there, had no regard for the fact that I was a paying customer. Won’t be going back here.

I went here after VIP’S because that place chopped my hair up so bad. This guy is great. Same price and knows how to make things even. Much better cut, and much better line ups. Same exact price, overall a much better place. Go here

Eddie is the man! One of the best cuts I have received in this city! Asked me when the last time I had a haircut was to gauge the amount he needed to cut off, and asked me throughout the haircut if I was satisfied with the length and evenness of the hair.
Overall, very flexible and listened well for a reasonable price of $ 18!

This guy is the man! Favorite places to buy a piece, favorite place to get a trim. Great service too! Friendly people make all the difference!

I would rather go to this shop rather than any chain barber shop but it still misses the mark in a few ways. I do like that it’s a bit funky and unique, with the wigs, costumes, and pipes. But the actual haircut itself is hit or miss. Nothing terrible ever, just not the most thorough job — but hey, it’s a low price!

I knew this would be my place for a regular buzz within the first three seconds of setting foot in the door. I walked in, and laughed to myself, the rear of the shop is dominated by costumes, the like that pop up in seasonal shops around Halloween’s coming, while the front is occupied by a pair of good natured middle aged men. Moments later I was seated, engaged in good conversation and getting a good buzz for not too much out of my wallet. I’ll be returning.

Guys at fast Eddies know what they’re doing, I have been a customer since 1999, this might tell something. Consistent with prices, service and professionalism. Updating the shop more frequently than some people changing socks. Refreshing décor every now and then is a good idea. Thumb up.

Yeah, not so much.
I’ve been here twice. The first time I got a good cut, but the second time was less than impressive.
I forget the name of the guy who cut my hair the first time, but my second visit was with Eddie. I walked in and asked about getting a cut. Eddie somewhat acknowledged my presence, but spent a couple extra minutes reclined and on his laptop before he actually engaged me. So I just stood there waiting. Should have left at that point.
Since barbers have the tendency to interpret my instructions «short on the side, long on the top to leave the curl» as «short blah blah blah short short» I saved a couple pictures of myself with the cut I want. Fail safe, right? Not a chance. And Eddie gave me a little bit of attitude about the picture. Save it, Eddie.
Instead of focusing on my cut he focused on whether I could help him advertise at BU. Then he chopped off an inch from my side burns with uneven lob-​sided results. Great. Yeah, really want to help you with that advertisement goal now.
«How does it look?» he asked.
«It’s shorter than I wanted on the top.»
«Well, I can’t do anything about that.»
Oh, you can’t make my hair grow back? Thanks, got it. I was answering the question you asked me. Did you not like the answer?
Look, Eddie isn’t a bad guy. He just decided not to listen to me, and he decided to treat me like I wasn’t important. If you want less hair when you leave than when you go in, then this place does the trick. Beyond that there’s some room for growth

Great barbershop! I have had a tough time finding a good barbershop in Allston/​Brighton. Richie and Eddie are both solid barbers. I rarely wait in line. They are fast and efficient. Prices are fair, $ 15 to $ 18 depending on what you want done. Good conversation. Solid overall.

Fast, cheap, and quality. Hard to find all three under one roof in Boston. A good friend recommended this place two years ago and I’ve been coming here ever since. Why you ask? Because Richie is the man and won’t let you walk out the door until he knows you’re satisfied. I have friends from Southie, Brighton, and all over who go out of there way to come here. Try it! You won’t be disappointed.

Fast Eddie gives fast, good and cheap haircuts. I am very satisfied with the hair cuts I have been getting from Fast Eddie for the past year and a half, even after I have moved away from Fast Eddie. It is still the place I go to whenever I need a clean and fast cut. Barbers there are always friendly and skilled. Try them out you won’t regret it.

Went here for the first time today, and I’ll definitely be back. It was a little crowded with all the halloween stuff (he said he moves it out to the barbershop area since it’s prime time for costumes right now, but I got a great cut fast without a lot of fuss and cheap. Couldn’t ask for more.

I will only, see this man to get my hair cut. If it took me an hour just for him to cut my hair, I would do it. Enough said. But then again, he knows exactly how I like it, and does it perfect everytime.

I love going here! I moved to Allston nearly two years ago and this is by far the best spot in the area. The guys there do a great job and the price is modest compared to any other alternatives. The atmosphere is interesting to with regards to the costume shop they have set up in the back, not to mention the guys are very friendly and down to earth. I have never had a bad haircut from Fast Eddies and I do not plan on going anywhere else as long as I’m in the area.

I don’t get my hair cut here, but it’s a very friendly, down-​to-​earth business. I did buy a Halloween mask and it was probably the best costume I ever wore. Highly recommended.

Fast Eddie Lives Up to His Name
It’s been tough finding a trustworthy barber in Boston, especially when you don’t get your hair cut that often. After too many times at SuperCuts, I decided to try a new spot.
Stopped in here for the first time a few weeks ago. Usually it’s a toss up to see if a barber can cut longer hair. Fast Eddie did not disappoint. I walked out of there looking like a perfectly coiffed JFK.
Not bad for $ 18+.

What Ryan said.

The cut at Fast Eddies was fast, but the cut came out great! It was such a good expirence. I was getting my cut at other barbers in the area, who just couldnt get a simple crew cut right. I recommend this place highly.

Definitely my go to after Lessard’s.
The guys that work here are really laid back and it’s a very relaxed environment. They’ll chat you up and crack jokes the whole time.
Really solid dudes giving great cuts at a decent price.

Eddie’s is… fast…
It’s also a great place to get a coiffure if your needs are simple — id est, you can describe your request in numbers or in one sentence or less… polite folk who take pride in what they do and who they are…
Boggle at the surprising array of postiche wigs and paper-​thin costumes before stepping back onto the regrettable Harvard Ave…
