Gents

My first time here was great and I’ll come back. I had a beard trim with Mike, went quickly and was easy. If I’m back this way I’ll come in again!

Wendy was AWESOME! I just don’t think it is worth $ 33 before tip for a haircut!!! Won’t be back!

Not worth the price anymore. I have been there a number of times and was very happy with the two haircuts I got from Arron. He did the whole wash and dry process and gave a good cut how I desired it. Unfortunately I couldn’t see him the last two times I was there and saw both Mike then I think Ricardo. Both not worth it unless you don’t mind them just disregarding your request and giving you what they like. Neither did the wash and dry that is supposed to be included and they both seem to have a listening problem. I keep my hair longer and would just like a simple trim. First I got a Pauly D from Mike, which finally grew out then I asked for a simple trim not too much off the top from Ricardo and got a hot new hipster style cut that he didn’t even do a good job with anyway. Neither are good looks for blonde Irish guys. I don’t know what is keeping this place in business I guess it’s just gweedoes and hipsters since it seems to be the only haircut most of their barbers can do.

Pros: open 7 days per week and until 7:30 PM some days, courteous staff, complimentary beverages, clean and modern appearance, location, parking.
Cons: haircut.
You wear your hair every day, so $ 44 (incl. tip) for a good haircut is worth it in my opinion. Unfortunately, after 7 visits, getting haircuts by 4 different barbers/​stylists, my satisfaction had ranged from bad to barely okay. I kept trying to make it work given all of the positive attributes about Gents, but I’ll no longer be a customer. My search for a good, convenient haircut continues.
That said, I would recommend Gents to someone looking for a new option. You may have a better haircut experience to go along with everything else that Gents has going for it.

I read an article recently on how a classic visit to the barbershop for a haircut and a shave is one of the most indulgent experiences a man can have.
The last time I went to a barber, I was 12 years old, getting a regular boys haircut. I never had the opportunity to witness an actual shave by a barber out side of the movies and TV.
After reading the article, I decided to give this a whirl and see what the fuss was about.
I originally went to Vintage Barbershop as they had a good Unilocal review.
It was a little too Guido for me there. Tanning booths, no parking, no space and no seating with only two chairs. I couldn’t imagine getting a shave there, the vibe just wasn’t right.
A friend of mine texted me and told me about Gents and how it was an upscale barbershop a little ways up the road.
I immediately bailed (whew, the place made me tense) and headed up the road.
My first impression? I was blown away.
The receptionist greeted me as soon as I came in, she was friendly and courteous. I was offered a complimentary drink which I took with glee. This was a major improvement over the last barber shop that I was in. No high and tights here.
The waiting area had plenty of comfortable (leather) seating.
There are plenty of professional quality barbers on staff here. My barber came out to the waiting area and greeted me by name. He took his time and asked what I needed for my hair. I am really happy with my haircut, not once did he break out the clippers or try to give me some sort of fade. He left the top long, as I like it.
After the cut, it was time for the shave. Please let me tell you, if you have never had a hot towel shave, DO IT NOW!!! This is the man version of going to the spa.
Is it expensive? I don’t think so. I fully got my monies worth here. Going to a hair stylist would have cost me the same amount without the shave. Going to a cheap barber would have saved me money sure. However, I don’t want a high and tight.
This is on my monthly must do list from now on.

The best place for a man to get a haircut. You don’t have to go to Supercuts or your wife’s salon. Provides an old fashion style barbershop feel with all of the modern features. Definitely worth the extra money.

This is definitely an old school barber shop with some modern touches. Never had a bad experience or haircut. Highly professional and recommended.

I am shocked that I am even sitting here writing this review for Gents. If this establishment ever had a loyal customer, I was it. When it opened, it was a very promising business. The atmosphere was amazing and the barbers were ideal, especially Mr. B. It was truly a place to unwind after a long day, regardless if they are priced a little high, the quality was worth it. I bragged about Gents to my friends and finally decided to show one of them on for his birthday what this place was all about. We had an appt scheduled and showed up 5 — 8minutes late. When we arrived, no one was at the desk to greet us. We decided to take a seat and wait for someone to come to the front. After fifteen minutes of waiting, and hearing countless talk and laughter coming from the back room, finally someone appeared. It was then that the receptionist informed us that WE were late and that they could NOT service us! WE WERE LATE? We had been waiting for 15 minutes while they were off in the back room. Now not only am I taken back by this but I felt embarrassed of how highly I spoke of this place to my friend. And never mind the fact that the place had no one in there. She was young and attractive, but rude, unfriendly, and unaccomodating. They basically threw us out of a place that I have been loyal to since the day they opened their doors. I am sad to say that this is not the same Gents that I have come to love and brag about to everyone. This moment has tarnished my image of this business and it saddens me i had to write this review. Will I be back? I can’t answer that right now…

I decided to treat myself to a «Royal Shave» on my day off this past Tuesday. I was able to call that morning to make an appointment at noon; I didn’t want to chance being a walk-​in and not being able to have this done. I’m glad I called ahead as there was only one barber, Mr. B., who seemed to be working at that time.
Well, the shave was exquisite. Mr. B. did an excellent job with the straight razor. My face felt the smoothest it felt since I was a wee tyke. That being said, I don’t think the add-​on mini «facial», which bumps the price of a hot shave up an additional $ 18, was really worth it. Don’t get me wrong, it was a nice touch, I’m just not sure it was worth the added cost.
Staff was pleasant and professional. I did not avail myself of the complimentary beverage service, though I was offered my choice of beer, wine, coffee, water, etc. Atmosphere, with comfy leather seats, dark wood, and flat screen tvs was nice.
I would definitely return for a regular hot shave and maybe try a haircut as well sometime in the future.

Went to Gents with the groom 4 other groomsmen the morning before the wedding. Such a great idea and experience! We drank beer, had an excellent shave, and watched sports.
Rob did my shave and did an excellent job.

Have been a customer since my wife got me a gift certificate for Father’s Day 3 years ago, to upgrade the quality of my cuts from the $ 10 – 14 special range. The price of the cut is made back by you in the quality and atmosphere of the place. You are catered to from the door, and into your chair and back. The hot towels for the face, wash and dry all help to make the experience. Mr. B has been styling me (for the most part) and I wouldn’t go anywhere else; always an exact cut, never rushed but efficient with his and my time. They seem to take pride in helping you leave looking your best; just wish they’d open a northern RI branch now that I live up here.

I anticipated a good experience on my first visit there. $ 30 for a wash and cut… a deal in my opinion because it’s obvious from the surroundings that you get what you pay for and this place should be a welcome change for someone who has had many ‘average’ haircuts in his life. But alas, I was sorely disappointed.
I was told that they take walk ins and that Rob was available. I was directed to sit in the waiting area. I sat there and literally watched 3 workers talk among themselves and walk about and completely disregarded me. There were no customers in the place that I could see. I knew then that I was in for a long experience as there was no apparent sense of urgency among the staff. Old time quality… ok, but old time service… no thanks. Time is money in my world as well, and wasting more time than needed in a barbershop is not a good thing. Women and men with similar qualities might like spending a slow-​moving day inside of a spa but for most guys like me it should be about getting a top quality cut in an expedient manner. In this regard Gents fell terribly short. I finally got up and left.

I used to go to the Atomic Salon, and always had a fair to solid haircut. But it was a «get what you pay for» type experience. For $ 14 you had to wait forever, even with appointment to get your cut, and have to listen to 20-​somethings cut your hair, and the things that typical urban 20-​somethings say — if you know what I mean. A «get what you pay for» haircut and experience.
I found Gents by accident, actually just because google & their online scheduling. I saw that it was a more upscale barber shop. I knew this place was for me.
A bit pricey at $ 30 per cut, but WELL worth it. I always see Mr. B and his haircuts are consistently excellent and perfect. I am always greeted in this warm, professional atmosphere, offered drinks (including some alcohol), and quickly make it to my barber.
The $ 30 does include a wash and dry as well, which adds to the value.
The online scheduling is fantastic, and I always know when my barber is available for appointments.
Parking is safe and convenient.
You’re truly paying for an exceptional experience here from start to finish — from the atmosphere to the service.
I hope they plan on expanding their business.

After going bald for years, I finally went to Gents for a head shave. The experience was amazing. Nice hot towel shave. Michael C was my barber and he made me feel comfortable as if I’ve been going there for years. Great conversation and I felt completely relaxed. He did a great job and took his time. I will definitely be back again.

On the pricey side of haircuts, but Nicole always did a great job. Now I have a girlfriend who cuts my hair right every time, so I don’t need to go but I’d still recommend them to others.

After seeing this place opened near Garden City Center for quite some time, I ventured a little out of my price range to get a classic straight edge razor shave. Something that really isn’t that easy to find these days.
After walking into this place, you can tell your not in an ordinary «Atomic Salon». Beautiful wood accents everywhere, mini bar stocked with juices, soda and Sutter Home wines, beautiful tin drop ceiling, to make it short: I could of probably spent a few hours there relaxing in their plush leather chairs.
I went early in the morning and arrived when no one was waiting but me. The receptionist I spoke to earlier in the week asked me who I’d prefer to go to, two barbers called «Michael and Mr. B». After thinking about it for minute, since this was my first visit and had no idea who these barbers were, to me «Mr. B» sounded like an old school type of guy who could probably give a great shave. And that he did.
I recommend this place for its great atmosphere, great amenities and one a good barber.

Excellent barbers plus an amazing atmosphere make going to GENTS a pleasure.

I’ve been coming to Gents for about 2 years now, and have always received a great cut. The barbers are all very experienced, and I feel extremely comfortable in their chairs. From the hot towels to the flat screen TV’s, everything at Gents is high end. The free beverages are a nice touch, while their online scheduling is also very convenient.

It is self described as an old school barber shop for the modern man. My husband describes the experience as relaxed, professional and filled with personal touches. It is very nice inside– dark wood, all modernized amenities. They offer complimentary beverages to all customers (this inculdes alcohol). It is slightly pricey but you can get the straight edge razor in addition to the hot towels and good conversation. He is a fan.
