Anthony’s Barber Styling

great place. friendly people. go there regularly with my son. always some fun stories go around while you have your hair cut or waiting. they make you feel like you are part of their family

Waited outside from 8 – 8:30 on a Friday morning and they never opened. Probably need to change their hours of operation. Upsetting because now vacation time is like spilled milk. Might try to come back and we will see what happens.
Oh and the number doesn’t work. Super sad face.

Anthony’s is solid. Yes, you might wait a bit to get into a chair, but that’s because they take their time with each customer. Michelle was great, not only listening to how I wanted my cut, but also taking the time to clean up around the edges, so to speak. The place is family friendly, too — there were multiple dads there with their sons and the staff made everyone feel welcome.

Love this place. They give a really great cut. No stray hairs. Wait can be a wild card but lately I have found a good time to get in pretty easily. It is walk-​in only for the time being and also cash only. There’s a BOA right across the street though if you need it.

I like them, they cut a nice head of hair, but they are immensely slow. It’s insufferable sometimes. Call ahead to see what the wait is, figure each person will take 40 minutes, maybe more. It’s mind boggling

My husband told me about Anthony’s. I guess he used to go there all the time. I brought my 2 girls there, ages 3 and 4. Anthony cut my 4-​year old daughter’s hair, which is long and wavy. He listened to what I wanted and did a great job. He cut a couple if inches of her hair and did some layers and angles. Her hair looks amazing, full and styled. Antony was super nice and talked to all of the customers waiting for haircuts, he even showed pictures of his daughter to my daughter. She is generally shy of people she doesn’t know, especially men. I don’t remember the name of the girl who cut my other daughter’s hair but she did a great job as well and let my daughter sit in my lap during the haircut. The place is is very laid back and we felt welcome. We would definitely go again. Thank you for the great haircuts.

Anthony and Tina are the best! Great haircuts and a very friendly atmosphere. I’ve moved out of East Arlington but I keep coming back here.

Recommended by a friend, Anthony’s met all expectations. Frank is a master: listens to requests and follows through, is neat, fast and accurate. No frills, no designer jobs, but a wonderful down to earth haircut. Reaches that point that most want — after the haircut not looking like you’ve just had a haircut. The way it should be.

Anthony’s is your quintessential old-​style barber shop. As long as you’re not expecting a single-​edge razor shave (or are in a huge rush), this is the place to go. Anthony, his sister Tina, and Annie all give phenomenal haircuts for a mere $ 18. Great relaxed atmosphere as well. While I am of the few who lives walking distance from this shop, I know there are others who come from up to an hour away, and for good reason. A resounding 5 stars (from someone who doesn’t give those often.)

The best haircuts happen at Anthony’s. Annie, Tina or Anthony– you won’t go wrong with whoever is available. Talkative yet very attentive to their craft. Skilled stylists. If you live nearby and are not in a hurry, check this place out… once you experience the quality and price, it’s unlikely you’ll bother going anywhere else. Just chill out, bring your iPhone or book, and be patient– it’s worth the wait if there is one.

Great Haircuts. The wait can be a little long but the conversation is great. They have plenty of things to do while your waiting such as reading materials and television. The only thing I wish they had was a credit card machine.

Tony, and both girls are awesome. I had my haircut done there for the last 3 – 4 years. I actually preferred Annie because she would never forget to trim my eyebrows. But they all are great.

Anthony’s Barbershop is a small local shop right on Mass Ave in East Arlington. It is a 3 chair shop, owned and operated by the namesake — Anthony. He is a younger, friendly guy who loves to chat during his hair cuts. He is truly a funny guy and will tell great stories or even play the guitar for you (if you are lucky).
The haircuts themselves are generally good and consistent (which is very important for me). The two complaints that I have are the long wait times. I’ve waited upwards of an hour before. Even though there are 3 chairs, there is typically 1 – 2 hair dressers there at a time. Additionally, the cuts themselves are about 45 mins to an hour.
I believe there are definitely people out there who enjoy this type of experience, but it is simply not for me. I prefer a quality, 30 minute hair cut simply because that works best with my busy schedule. I’ve gone back to Anthony’s several times despite the comments above, so he must be doing something right!

I’ve been having Anthony cut my hair for the past 10 years. I’ve lived in Arlington, Newton and now Lexington. I keep coming back because Anthony spends the time to get my hair right. He is also a great person and always remembers my name. I feel I am visiting a friend.

Annie is the bomb diggity. Best haircut of my life… hands down!

Anthony is a great barber. He takes his time and cuts your hair exactly the way you want it.
You’ll get salon treatment at barber prices.

Great customer service and great cut. After my last selection of Fast Phils, my wife wanted to go with me and make sure things turned out ok. There was no wait when I got there but Anthony was in the back. He poked his head out and said he would be right with me. He came out shortly and asked me what I was looking for. We settled on a cut and away he went. He talked quite a bit while he cut but was very attentive to the cut. He was done in about 20 minutes and the cut was great, so my wife said.
For $ 18 you get a very good cut, great service, and while it is notfast it isquick enough

Just go here. Especially if it’s ludicrously out of your way and it takes you an hour (or more) to drive there, as I did for about 5 years straight.
They take FOREVER cutting your hair and it is AWESOME. This place actually conditioned me to think those fancy salons that shoot you out in 20 minutes are a rip off.

This is the best barbershop in Arlington and possibly the best barbershop I’ve ever been too. They give a great cut and their prices are reasonable. I usually see Tina for my cut. I wish I could make it here more often than I do. No appointments, walk in only.

Anthony’s Barber Styling has something wonderful going for it: The recommendation of its peers. I know this because I was led to Anthony’s by the people at a women’s salon in Arlington, who said Anthony’s was their choice for men.
This is a good place. No appointments or reservations. You wait in comfortable seating inside or at a friendly sidewalk table outside. Anthony and his colleague, Joshua, ask what you want in a haircut and they work hard to carry out your wishes. Joshua went the extra mile to trim my beard, too.
Best of all: The price is right. My haircut and beard trim was $ 18. I added 20% as a tip to Joshua, so the total came to $ 21.60.
No credit cards accepted. Cash and local checks only.
Why five stars? Well, because my partner at home said she liked the haircut. I like that reaction from her. Thanks, Anthony’s!
