Eddie Priest Men's Hairstylist

Dec 2021

Just saw Gretta and Eddie on the Rachael Ray show, lots of tears. I was born and raised in Cambridge, down the street on Putnam Avenue! I heard the Boston accents and took a trip home, as I live in FL now. Still miss my roots. Eddie- you are special! In the 50s, my father's favorite watering hole was on River Street! Ernie's.

I've been here twice, and I've been very pleased both times. I went in recently and Eddie asked if I'd been there before since I looked familiar, which I found impressive since I hadn't been there in probably 6 months. This is the type of place I look for when I get a haircut. Quality hair cut (he's got decades of experience in this regard), good price ($16), not overly talkative, TV right by the chair, and convenient location (less than 5 min from Central Square).

I had the pleasure of stopping in to Eddie's barber shop a few weeks ago when business brought me to Cambridge. I moved out of Boston a long time ago, but as someone born in Cambridge, it was a trip down memory lane. My father grew up around the corner and started coming here when he was very young and when I was old enough, he brought me here, too. Heck, my two brothers got their haircut here as well - for decades. Eddie always gave a solid haircut and a very good straight razor shave, so I was excited to see he was still in business when I rolled into town needing a beard trim and a back of the neck shave. The inside of the place is old school barber shop. It still has the same interior as did in the 1980's - probably that way looked the 60's and 70's, too. Anyway, the beard trim was excellent. Eddie is a real practitioner of his trade. He took his time and made sure it was a job done right. He also cleaned up the sides of my head with the scissors and cleaned up my neck with a straight razor with precision. If you live in the Central Square area and want an excellent, no-nonsense haircut, shave or beard trim, head on over to Eddie Priest.
