Straight Edge Barbershop
About This Spot
Stepping into Straight Edge Barbershop on Somerville Avenue is like entering a calm and inviting refuge where style meets care. The space hums with a gentle energy—focused, yet unhurried—welcoming everyone from busy professionals to families coming in for precious first haircuts. The steady rhythm of clippers and scissors blends with easy conversations, creating an atmosphere that feels both purposeful and personal.
Here, the experience isn’t just about the cut or shave—it’s about the deliberate attention and thoughtful touch behind every service. Whether you’re looking for a precise fade, a classic straight razor shave, or that perfect beard trim, the barbers take time to listen closely and ensure each moment is tailored to your style and comfort. This means no rush, no distractions—just genuine care that leaves you feeling looked after and understood.
What makes the shop truly stand out is how approachable and down-to-earth it feels. The barbers welcome first-timers with patience and kindness, making relaxed parents and their little ones feel right at home. Their commitment to craft is quietly evident in the details: the way they reshape hairlines, the care in a steady hand during a straight razor shave, and the thoughtful check-ins along the way to ensure you’re happy throughout the process.
At Straight Edge, it’s not only about leaving with a fresh haircut but also about the simple human moments that unfold in the chair—a nod of reassurance, a shared laugh, a quick chat that makes the time feel pleasantly measured. This is the kind of place where the experience lingers, long after you leave the shop.

Best hair experience I’ve ever had! They take care of you & treat you right and the atmosphere is very comfortable, everybody is nice and friendly :) I had Hector and he was very awesome, very kind and enthusiastic to help me achieve my desired style! Did not mind that it was a bit of a high order/a lot of work & took a long time. Never been to a barbershop before but it was great all around.

I personally know Luis and when I found out he is a barber wanted to support his hustle. The guy understood what I wanted, haves great attention to detail and the time he puts in my haircut is unmatched, he also never rushes through haircuts and always made sure I was good along the way.

We had a wonderful experience with Hector! He did our 1 year old son’s first haircut and was so patient. We will definitely be back and recommend to others with little ones!

I first visited Str8 Edge Barbershop after accidentally booking an appointment online with a completely different shop that happened to share the same name. When I walked into the Somerville location, Marky had no idea I was coming, but without hesitation he said “I got you” and had me in the chair within minutes. That moment alone showed the kind of welcoming and genuine service that sets this place apart. The haircut itself was phenomenal, and the atmosphere in the shop was just as impressive. Everyone inside was friendly, and Str8 Edge is a true neighborhood barbershop with deep roots in the local community. Marky has been running this place for years, and it shows in the trust, connection, and quality of work. If you are looking for a new spot for a haircut, I cannot recommend Str8 Edge enough.

We walked in without an appointment and got a haircut with not too long of a wait. Nate and Luis cut my two sons' hair and my hair with great style and professionalism!

Luis at Straight Edge Barber Shop: A Cut Above the Rest From the moment you step through the door at Straight Edge Barber Shop, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that perfectly balances professional expertise with genuine warmth—the kind of place where both first-timers and regulars feel instantly at home among the classic barber chairs and tasteful décor. For over two years, I've had the privilege of sitting in Luis's chair, and his commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of his service: he's unfailingly punctual, begins each appointment with a thoughtful consultation to understand exactly what you're looking for, maintains conversation that feels natural and never forced, and—most importantly—approaches each haircut with the precision of a true craftsman, never rushing through the finishing touches and meticulously checking every angle before declaring his work complete. The steady stream of compliments I receive in the weeks following each visit stands as testimony to his exceptional skill, and I cannot recommend Luis at Straight Edge Barber Shop highly enough for anyone seeking not just a haircut but an experience that leaves you looking and feeling your absolute best every single time.
