University Barber Shop: a Campus Institution
It’s easy to walk right past University Barber Shop without noticing it. The shop, in the basement level of 728 Commonwealth Avenue, is recognizable only by the modest red sign over its front door (and of course, the traditional iconic barber pole). But for nearly a century, barbers here have been cutting the hair of BU students, faculty, and staff. Some customers have been coming in for 50 years. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel at home. No appointments are necessary—just walk in and wait your turn. Oh, and leave the credit cards at home. It’s a cash-only establishment. And at just $20 for a haircut, University Barber may offer one of the best values anywhere in Boston.
