I went for the first time. My ideal place is Floyd’s – good value, hipster barbers/stylist, good alt rock playing – but there isn’t one convenient since moving to Newton. An odd location and a bit of an anachronism, Mr Sid Hair Salon is in the basement of a über-pricey men’s clothing store(well-tailored, stylish line-up, but shirts start at $ 200 it seems). The barber did a good job and I’m happy with the cut. It is a fairly pricey no-frills haircut at $ 35(wash and cut). It sounds like there are independent barbers that work there on different days, renting the space. Bottom line: I think I’d go back, but will explore other Newton barbers first.
