Before the invention of scissors, hair could only be shortened via naturally occurring escalator snags and inevitable bonfire curiosity. Snip strands the newfangled way with today's Groupon: for $30, you get three haircuts at Crew Cutz in Quincy (a $60 value). A modern barbershop schooled in hairstyles new and old, Crew Cutz aims to entertain while barbers clip, texturize, and shave head-grass from scalp-gardens. Arrive at your appointment early to surf the net on one of Crew Cutz's laptops, catch up on current events on a flat-screen plasma TV, or fan the air with a magazine while repeatedly exclaiming "I'll be!" Like any dueling-piano bar turned barbershop, Crew Cutz encourages its hirsute customers to request a song or two while their scalp strings are transformed from dull to dazzling. Unlike with visits to the local congressman hut, appointments are not available. Walk-ins are always welcome or you can call an hour before arrival to ensure minimal wait time.

Reviews

Four Yelpers and five Citysearchers give Crew Cutz a 4.5-star average:

• Crew cutz [sic] appears to be a high end mens barbershop, but the prices are more than reasonable…The shop is cool and retro it almost feels like a cafe or bar because the music is great! In fact all of the entertainment such as television, free computers, snacks and music make the atmosphere the best place to go for a haircut…I enjoy the Crew Cutz staff because they're professional and polite. – CSMobileUser2, Citysearch
• They offer the latest and greatest when it comes to a really top-notch barbershop experience. There is a personalized music station at the reception desk where you can specify the style of music you want to hear when getting your hair done. The staff is wicked nice, making sure that you leave feeling happy - so far, absolutely no complaints…The energy is always upbeat, the staff is always welcoming and you look around and see a diverse group of people - different ages, different style, different type of hair and no matter what - Crew Cutz can make it happen! – Thomas B., Yelp
