Reviews of Badabing Barber Shop & Shave Parlor (Barber Shop)

Alec

Hands down the best barber shop in town! Top notch talent and top notch humans. The atmosphere is very laid back and cool with interesting pictures from horror flicks and various movies. The best part you ask? They actually listen to what you want out of a haircut. All the stylists are good but i vibe the most with Brandon, he's funny and witty and listens to exactly what your wants/needs are as far as a cut. Definitely will be back every couple weeks. Keep up the good work guys!

Best barbers in Salem.

Wellington Brown

I was just traveling through the area and needed a military skin fade. These guys did an excellent job and used a straight razor. Highly recommend this place!

Ven Brady

Always provides the vest haircuts I ever had!

Douglas Christel

Great atmosphere, great conversation, great cuts from everyone at Bada Bing.

Tabitha Carty-Mercier

My son got a great hair cut and his beard trimmed.

Tyler Thomson

Walked in and got a great cut!

Amanda Lopez

I went here with my boyfriend on a total whim during our annual trip to Salem. He always wants to cut his hair when we travel. It was easily the best haircut he's ever had, and double plus bonus, the owner gave us really helpful information about the best cookie spot in Salem. They're good dudes who REALLY know what they're doing with your hair.

David Andrew Moore

Jordan and his team are top notch barbers and human beings.

Daniel Patrick Griffin

The best barbers on the North Shore. Fine experts in ball busting and mick-fro taming.

Scott Peterson

Easily the best haircut I've ever received... Brandon is *the Best* The atmosphere is laid back, the conversation hops between tv/movies/books/games and the service is top-notch. This isn't Supercuts folks! The Bada Bing boys work hard and take the time to leave you with a great haircut and a positive experience. 5/5 - Can't wait to go back!

Patrick Gilfoil

Great haircuts at a reasonable price, with a very welcoming and unique atmosphere. Get your haircut here once, and you feel like part of the family. They are seriously skilled at what they do, and provided me the best haircut I’ve had. Heads up; like an old fashioned traditional barber, it’s cash only.

Max Bitter

Jordan was insightful, conversational, and (most importantly) gave me a phenomenal haircut. He really made an effort to understand what I was going for, gave honest advice, and generally relieved the whole uncomfortable "explaining what I'm asking for" element I'm sure many guys struggle with when going for a haircut. He even managed to recommend a local product that the shop carries without overdoing the sales pitch or pressuring me for a purchase. I get now why this place is always busy, and look forward to returning regardless of the wait time.

Nicholas Stott

I love it here. I’ve been coming for just under a year(almost every four weeks). In that time I’ve had three different barbers cut my hair, and they all have given me 10/10 hair cuts! Sometimes I show up early just because I like the vibe of the shop! Get your hair cut here if you’re looking for a great haircut and great people!

Nicole Crespo

Great barbers, great atmosphere, great service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Isaac Carson

Babers here are great guys. Wish the waits just weren't so long but it is worth it they always cut my hair how I want and do a great job.

peter niall

I travel two hours for a shave and cut at this place. I will continue to do so. Great work, great people.

Sean Allen

Excellent service. Very friendly employees.

Chris Lukas

The only place I'll go to get my hair cut or to get a pro shave

Brett Bunting

Only place in New England I could recommend getting lined up. Jordan is a legend.

Larry Newsome

Call ahead, these guys are artists with clippers, they get busy but are worth the wait.

John Hudgins

Perfect for any traveling man.

Daniel Arasin

I am in the area traveling on business and found the place. One of the best I have been to and if I lived close by this would be my permanent place to go. I highly recommend it and I do not recommend places at all. Just ask for "Magic Hands" when you go in.

ken kruse

Great place to get an amazing and professional haircut. These guys really know how to cut hair. Money well spent here. Great atmosphere and in a great location.

Sam Breen

Great spot.

Geordie Kaytes

Good haircuts. Annoying they’re cash-only.

micheal parsons

Best Barbershop Around!

Donald Bumiller

An oasis for the soul with barbers who know their craft. Call ahead, it's been discovered.

Ricky Egan

Great atmosphere and fantastic haircuts

Cameron Sullivan

Highly skilled master barbers who can do a very wide variety of haircuts. Very personable and professional also.

Rahn Lipp

Best barber shop in the North Shore of Massachusetts

Frank Zavalia

I'd like to begin by saying that on the phone they're very friendly and the place is very clean. Between this and the good reviews, I was really optimistic about giving it a try. No appointments here, you "call ahead" get added to the board, and are told when to show up. I arrive at 5:40 (as advised), someone's in the chair being worked on who appears to be at a clean #1 already as I got there. By 6:15, the cut ahead of me still isn't finished (because it was more chat than cutting) and I'm not even acknowledged by the barber aside from the hello I recieved and being screened whether I called in or not when arriving. I shouldn't have to wait 40 minutes if you're telling me when to arrive. That might he reasonable on a Saturday, but not on a Tuesday night when it's absolutely dead.

Turner Christie

I've been coming here for a year with my brothers and we always get great cuts and great company!

Denise Scolaro

Brandon is awesome! His artistry in hair styling is amazing!

Michael Gallotta

A little pricey. But so long as you know exactly what you want, they deliver.

Andy Schultz

First time I sat in the chair I told Mike "do whatever you think would look good" and he gave me the absolute best haircut of my life. Never before had I gotten so many compliments on a haircut before, for everyone I know it was the first thing they would say to me was "wow, you got a REALLY good haircut". Whole staff is excellent, great spot to hang out and talk, comfortable atmosphere and unmatched talent.

Finally found a barbershop I love. Its always been super hard finding a barbershop in the area with super friendly and respectful staff. Every where I've gone tries to give me super short hair and almost shave my sides bald. I'm not trying to get the same generic hair style as everyone else, but I'm not asking for anything crazy. I walked out with exactly what I wanted here, actually I walked out with better hair than I was imagining to be honest Haha.

Harrison Makofsky

Great people giving great haircuts. I typically see Brandon or Jordan. Also, the atmosphere is top notch. I highly recommend calling ahead to put your name down, though. Since they're often so busy, getting a haircut as a walk-in at the end of the day is unlikely!

Brian Sims

I have NO hair, well just very little. I have been to several barber shops in Salem and all have failed me. It has taken me three years to find the one and only BRANDON! I LOVE the quality, care, detail and passion that he invests into my "hair" cut. He takes his time, and is never rushed. I am very self conscious of having so little hair but he makes me feel just as cared for as anyone with a full head of beautiful hair. I admire his passion that he has for his work. He treats discipline as though it is a work of art. Brandon is truly an Artisan of hair cuts, beard trimming etc. The shop is clean fun and filled with fun decorations and nostalgic decor. If you don't go to this shop you are screwed, bottom line.

Ed Lewis

Got a couple haircuts here. First was with Jordan and it turned out great. Second one was with... someone else? Definitely someone else just can’t remember the name. Nice guy. Also a great cut.

Chrissy L

It's as if Tony Soprano had soft, gentle hands. Quality service from quality people. My boyfriend doesn't trust anyone else with his hair and beard needs.

Nick Bias

Called ahead for noon got there at noon waited an hour and then left, was not able to get hair cut.

Mark Wade

Great Barbershop! Jordan is a highly skilled Barber and a natural conversationalist. Visits are always a pleasure.

Rick Brown

As a long-time resident, I've been to many salons and barber shops throughout Salem. Without question, this is the best barber shop in town. Both Jordan and Brandon take great pride and care in the work that they do, and they reliably deliver top-notch haircuts and shaves. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, and their prices are quite reasonable given the quality of their work. I've never written a review of any establishment before, but felt compelled to spread the word. Excellent barbers!

Daniel Dugery

Tried them for the first time, to quote Warren Zevon, my hair was perfect. Good crew, good haircut, good conversation, what more could I ask for.

Sydney Paskos

Best place in the state!!

Chase Wilkinson

Best Shp in town
