MIKE IS THE MAN!! My friend got his hair trashed from a hair salon and walking in to this shop was the best decision we could’ve made. My friend and I were astonished at how great his hair looked after Mike was done with the cut. Later, Mike was explaining to us how he cuts and treats the layers of hair. You could tell he was really passionate about his craft.•11/10 experience•would definitely recommend to a friend in need of a great cutread more

Mike is the best barber I have ever had! He is clearly very experienced and able to cut my hair quickly and confidently – which translates into the haircut. I used to hate getting my haircut. I would go to barbers and ask for a style and they would cut it, but it wouldn’t look good on me. Mike was able to explain why the style I wanted wouldn’t actually work for my face type and was able to suggest a modified cut that gave me the style I wanted, but that would work for my face. Mike also was able to suggest a care routine that keeps my hair feeling and looking great. Now I’m excited to get my haircut because I know I will always leave looking good with a great haircut at a great price!read more

Mike is the best barber I have been to in Boston! I was referred to Mike from a friend who has been going to him for years and I can say every-time I sit down with him he is a perfect mix of listening to what I want but also using his skill to help find the perfect haircut for me. Most skilled barber I have been to (especially layering) and great conversationalist. Will also give you great tips for haircare / styling. Will keep coming back!read more

We had a great experience here! It was my son’s (2.5) first haircut and he had a mop that needed cut. I had low hopes and expectations but the haircut went so well and the barber was so patient and kind. They have everything you need to make it through the haircut seamlessly. We will definitely be coming back 👍🏼read more

His fade experience really shows. Mike was professional and really wanted to know what I wanted.His maintenance and product suggestions are on point too! I will be back!read more

This was my first time going to Z barber after my friend referred me to Mike and he did not disappoint. He is super dedicated to his clients and his craft. He has incredible attention to detail and I can tell his recent trip to London paid off. Not to mention he is a genuine guy and the conversations were great. I’ll be coming here exclusively from now on. Thanks again!read more

I've been coming to Mike Coronella for my haircuts for over 8 years and highly recommend him. He is efficient and knowledgeable in his craft. He understands the latest styles and what type of haircut goes with each facial type and personality. As I've gotten older and my hairline has started to recede, he's adjusted the style to work my my hair and keep the cut looking stylish and full.read more

I’ve been going to Z for the last year and each time I go he does an amazing job with my hair. He is very courteous and a very kind person at heart. I hardly wait any time for him to get me in to his chair. He is very efficient and meticulous with his hair cut routine which I appreciate. We always have an amazing chat and I look forward to getting my haircut with him every time. I highly recommend getting a haircut with Z.read more

Mike cut my hair and did a good job, as usual. I also had him trim my beard. I was very happy with the results. I don't often let anyone trim my beard, but Mike did a great job on it, giving it some shape and contour, while leaving most of the length.Mike is great to talk to, too. A good haircut needs to include good conversation, at least for me. A barber is like a bartender, but you can see one in the morning without getting funny looks.read more

Finally found a great barber! Mike treated my 2 boys like royalty. They've been trying to grow their hair long and haven't been confident or happy with the haircuts they've been getting. Mike's suggestions to them made them feel excited about it and when they were done I could see the confidence in their faces. I'm so grateful to finally have found someone who can communicate with the kids and actually be happy with the outcome.Not to mention the cleanliness and friendliness of the place in its entirety. I will definitely be coming back.Thank You Mike!P.S. if I could give this barber 10 stars I would.read more

He knows the styles that will look good, without me having to explain anything, and I'm always confident going on set.

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Mike for a while now, and I can confidently say he’s the best barber I’ve ever been to.

It’s pretty clear that Mike is dedicated to improving his skills, and it shows in the expert cuts he delivers.

Mike Coronella is the best barber I’ve ever had! I’ve been going to him in various locations since I moved to Boston in November 2021. For the past two years I have never had better hair. He’s constantly working on his craft and learning more by traveling abroad to study hair. He’s a HUGE personality! Fantastic to talk to about life and the world. He knows everyone and is your classic Boston barber. Highly recommend going to Mike!read more

First time getting my hair cut in Boston. Mike was amazing and the haircut was great. Got to learn a lot about him and his story. He asked me questions before even going into the haircut and made sure that we’d be set up for success- which is not something I’ve ever experienced before. Thanks Mike!!read more

As a college student who moved to Boston for school, I was most nervous about finding the right barbershop. Luckily, I came across Z Barbershop, which I would recommend to anyone with similar concerns. Nick, especially, has provided the best service; he is great at his work and caters to all your needs. He makes the experience much more welcoming and is timely, positive, and attentive from start to finish. If you are looking for an amazing haircut experience overall, I would recommend booking an appointment here with Nick!read more

Not often do I go for a walk-in and leave looking fresher than a slice of pineapple on a sun swept beach somewhere in Hawai’i. My past two experiences with Mike have been stellar and this one was no exception. If you want beautiful flowing locks that will make all the lions and horses jealous, go to Z’s and ask for Mike, though everyone there does right!read more

I've bounced around a few barbershops in Boston and Cambridge, but since finding this spot I haven't had to look anywhere else. I've been coming here for the past year now and know I can be confident I'll receive a consistently quality haircut with quick service. Mike knows what he's doing with hair and can make things work even if you don't know what to ask for. He's consistently been able to get solid results and makes it look easy. I've left impressed with the quality of cut each time. Good atmosphere, and prices are great too for what you get!read more

I’ve been coming to Mike for almost a decade, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable about his work and always makes sure I leave with the cut I want. Over the years, Mike has trained even more, learned additional techniques, and somehow despite already being the best barber, Mike is even better. I now live in the suburbs and still make the drive downtown to get my hair cut by Mike because I don’t trust anyone else to do as good of a job as he does.read more

I have been going to Mike Coronella for my haircuts for the last 10 years and I can say that this man has never failed me to help me look my best for whatever occasion is in front of me.He consistently has a vision for what will work best for each person but is always open to listen. In fact, he spent the last 4 months planning and preparing for THE haircut before my wedding day. Most importantly, Mike's going to make you feel like family when you get in that chair. I can't recommend him enough.read more

I’ve been looking for a good barber in Boston for a while now, and after reading Mike’s profile, I thought it’d be a good idea to try out this place. I walked in this past Sunday without an appointment and Mike immediately sat me down and got started. He was great throughout the haircut and it’s clear he knows what he is talking about. He helpfully recommended conditioners to use for my hair type and I felt confident leaving all creativity to him. It’s now been a week and this is definitely best haircut I’ve ever had and it still looks great. I’ll definitely be coming backread more

Moved to the South End about a year ago and have been bouncing around looking for a place to get my hair cut consistently. Stumbled on this place and it’s a gem, tucked away across from five horses on Columbus. Really good scissor work for mid/longer men’s hair, especially middle parts and layering. Have been recommending to all friends in the city.read more

I found this place after a different barber messed up my hair badly. Mike truly has golden hands; he did an "emergency" touch-up and advised me to come back a month later once some of the hair had grown back (he'd only charge me for the second time). A month later I went back, and after looking like a badly shorn sheep for a month, left with perfectly-cut hair with no signs of damage.Mike is a truly kindhearted person, and also a great conversationalist with a calm yet engaging manner. He made the haircut a truly wonderful experience. I cannot recommend him enough!read more

Traveled to Boston from Philly for the first time in 2022. Got my hair cut on a lark and Mike really helped me out. Grew out my hair for two years and decided he had to be the one to chop it off. Went back to Mike in 2024 and experienced the same precision and friendliness.read more

Recently I visited Z Barbershop for the first time. The decision to cut my hair off was made due to Chemotherapy treatments I am receiving at the Boston Veterans Hospital.Upon entering this establishment I was greeted by a gentleman named Michael.He would ask me how I would like my haircut and when I explained my situation he became rather emotional as he informed me that he just finished his Chemotherapy treatments and reassured me that everything would be ok.After he cut my hair and as I went to pay he informed me that it was free as any future haircut as a cancer patient would also be as well.Michael would ask me to pass this on to any other veteran that is suffering from cancer and hair loss.I must say that this experience solidified and reignited my belief that there is truly good people in this world.As of today, this was truly the best haircut I have ever had in my 61 years on earth. A big shout out to Michael.Timothy Hanleyread more
