★★★★★ 5.0 Mustafa Choucair · Jan 2026

Boris is different with the blade. Absolute technician. The fade is clean, buttery, and blended to perfection—no harsh lines, no patchiness, just smooth transitions all the way up. He works fast but never rushed, gets you in and out of the chair while still being locked in on every detail. The beard lineup is razor-sharp and perfectly symmetrical—cheeks crisp, neck clean, everything framed exactly how it should be. He listens, he understands head shape, and he knows how to tailor the cut to your face instead of giving everyone the same generic fade. You can tell he takes pride in his work. Consistent, precise, and professional. Every time I leave his chair I feel refreshed, confident, and put together. If you care about your cut and don’t want to gamble, Boris is the guy. Highly recommen

This traumatizing incident has made the neighborhood feel threatening and unsafe. I’m sharing this so others—especially Asian community members—can be aware of who works here and make an

I've been coming for years. Boris is an expert in style and customer service. I always leave feeling refreshed. Highly recommend.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 shomir dutt · Oct 2025

Didn’t have a good experience. Barber did the opposite of everything I asked. Wanted long hair, cut it short. Wanted scissors, used clippers. Was rough while cutting and didn’t pay any attention to the style or what I was wanting. Very disappointed.
