About Upper Kuts Barber Shop
On Rockdale Ave in New Bedford, Upper Kuts Barber Shop is a barber shop offering haircuts alongside straight razor shaves finished with a hot towel. Beard trims round out the shaving service, with shaving cream used as part of the process. Appointments are scheduled ahead of a visit, with customers calling in to get a cut rather than waiting on a walk-in basis. The shop runs Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays, giving a six-day window for booking a haircut, a shave, or both together. The combination of standard cuts and straight razor grooming under one appointment sets the service scope at Upper Kuts.

Customer Review Summary
Beard trims finished with a hot towel, shaving cream, and straight razor shave draw repeated praise, with several regulars naming a barber and returning specifically for that full shave experience. Close behind, reviewers describe quick, friendly cuts fit in on short notice, including one holiday when other shops were closed, and note fair, typical pricing. Multiple diners call out individual barbers by role for haircuts and shaves for older family members, describing a friendly, unhurried, well run shop with good energy. One reviewer, however, describes bringing two kids in and getting rushed, poor quality haircuts for both at forty dollars plus tip, calling the outcome hacked and saying they would not recommend it for children. Aside from that account, the pattern is overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers repeatedly calling ahead or booking appointments with specific barbers and returning every couple of weeks for cuts.

“These guys hooked me up with a fresh cut at the last minute on a holiday when every other barber shop was closed. Friendly, talented, laidback guys. Prices are fair and on par with what most barber shops charge nowadays.”
- Helena Woodacre
“My 90 year old dad really looked forward to his haircut and shave from the most wonderful and kind person, Tobey Gonsalves. My dad looked at himself so many times as we drove home, and would smile. In November he fell and now he is in a nursing home. Thank you Tobey, your kindness won't be forgotten.”

“Tobey got me all cleaned up. They took me in a little late in the day which is great appreciated. Very satisfied with their work. Excelent atmosphere and friendly professional staff. Would recommend.”

“The atmosphere is very friendly and accepting. The staff was amazing. There was no rush at all. Great place, great staff, great all around and my permanent place to go for cuts in MA. I haven't had such an awesome first experience since I walked into Parliament barber shop in NH. Thank you!”
