Cesare & Santo’s Creative Men’s Hair Stylist

This is another one of those no frills old school barber shops I keep finding around Boston. A small TV with wheel of fortune is tilted towards the chair. There’s a poster or two of almost naked centerfolds, a motorcycle babe calendar, a frame filled with random bills from multiple countries and the standard Boston paraphernalia. The furnishing was probably fashionable in 1972 (when the place was first opened). The owner’s a friendly guy with a thick accent who doesn’t mind giving his clients a hard time. At one point he had hired another barber, but he told me «I kicked that asshole out». You’ll get a quick hair cut, straight razor shave for the back of the neck and you’re on your way for 12 bucks.
