East Coast Barber Shop

I went to East Coast for the first time a few years ago and now I refuse to go anywhere else. CJ is a good guy and can cut your hair faster and better then your current barber– period. It’s obvious he enjoys his job and works hard to cut your hair the way you want and so it looks good.
Next time you need a haircut, do yourself a favor and go to East Coast.

Cj is such a nice guy! He knows what he’s doing. Attention to detail and good price !

I’ve walked by this shop a lot of times and finally decided to give it a try because there was only one person in there. I used to go to the shop a few blocks up the street, but I’m going to come here for now on! This dude CJ gave me a cut and line-​up within about 6mins and it came out crisp! I’ve never had my haircut that fast, and it came out so tight you would’ve thought he used a razor for the lineup (which I usually prefer). It’s no wonder why the shop is usually packed and there are so many 5 star reviews, his name should be Super Cuts.

Great guy and more importantly great haircut. Found this place via Unilocal since i needed a haircut before the weekend. This is my new spot. around the corner from work but would travel to get a haircut from CJ. Keep up the great work!

As other reviewers have said: no frills, just consistently great haircuts.

Great fade from CJ for a great price. No frills, just good cuts and conversation. I’ve paid twice as much for half the cut. Highly recommended.

My 23 month old son just had his first barbershop haircut and CJ did a great job. CJ was patient, professional, and very clearly had experience working with toddlers. CJ was able to give my son a great haircut in accordance with our specifications and he did it very quickly while my husband sat in the chair with my son on his lap and I circled around singing songs, reading books, and offering snacks to my crying son. The shop was clean, friendly, and the price was also great. We would highly recommend CJ to anyone and will be going back.

Cee Jay does excellent work. The joint is located close to Lechmere T stop, Cambridge courthouses and Cambridgeside Galleria. Stuck for time? Call ahead and make a reservation, $ 5.00. Btw: his prices are quite reasonable.

One of the best haircuts and experiences I’ve had in any place. I travel a lot and always have to find a new barber. I was very lucky to find East Coast. C was great, very friendly and welcoming to everyone, regulars or new customers. He is quick and skilled, but be warned if you come at the wrong time you will WAIT. It’s totally worth it though, plus he puts on cool movies or lets customers play Xbox so yeah it’s awesome.

This place does great haircuts. I was visiting from out of town and found them on Unilocal.I just wanted a wavelength fade with a taper on the edges and CJ the barber, knows exactly what he is doing — the way he cuts hair clearly shows his experience (with many hairstyles) due to the skills and diverse customers inside.
Call to make an appointment and you will leave feeling good.

Best barber near or far. Everyone feels welcome and leaves with a great cut. Get in here early on Fridays and Saturday’s!

Cee-​Jay is great. He’s friendly, totally cool, usually has excellent reggae working, and gives you a great haircut. Relaxed atmosphere, so if you have to wait a bit, it’s all good.

I found this place today on Unilocal and thought I would give it a try. I’ve been to a lot of barber shops in a lot of cities. I liked this one a lot. Has a clean comfortable environment and the barber is a good guy.
I would definitely say its worth it to call ahead. There is a $ 5.00 walk in fee. I am very happy with my hair cut and would certainly go back and recommend it to a friend.

Great hair cut my only problem with CJ is that its rarely open past 530 which makes it almost impossible for me to get my hair cut

Getting your hair cut here is quite the experience. First off, I will say that the majority of their clientele is African American, but that is not to say that other ethnicities will feel unwelcome. I am white, and I felt at home inside. There is a relaxing neighborhood feel to this shop, with the two barbers that were working knowing almost all of their customers by name. While waiting, I joined into their banter as if I was one of the guys. Be warned however, that unless you schedule an appointment ($ 5 fee), you will likely wait an hour or more for an open seat. The wait is well worth it. In addition to the neighborhood atmosphere, hip hop music is being played in the background with ESPN on multiple TVs. When it was my turn, the barber was professional and a true artist. It only cost me $ 15 for a great men’s hair cut and I walked away a satisfied customer.
