Meet

From punk rock drummer to master barber, my 30-year career started in the boroughs of London to sunny California. People ask "how did you get started in this business?" Well, the answer is fairly simple: with solid trustworthy people behind me, dedication, and hard work.

The chance to build a team of Boston's finest barbers just seemed right. It's been my mission to listen, focus, and educate myself continuously throughout my life and career. Now with a full team of master barbers, I'm proud to share our 100+ years of combined experience to provide you with the best possible experience and ensure you never feel rushed out of the chair.

Our Story

OUR HISTORY

In April 2013, we began our journey as a Roosters Mens Grooming center franchise. During this time we accrued some of Boston’s best master barbers and master stylists. Our 8-year tenure was a fantastic run of building an impressive clientele and ensuring proper service, always believing that the fine detail of the craft of barbering is carried throughout.

OUR JOURNEY

In early 2022 we transitioned to 3L Barber Co, a privately owned business. During times of a Covid shutdown, unemployment, and being unaware of when we will "return”, we knew we would prevail and come back stronger than before. The dream Tom had was to have a barbershop where he could somehow put his three children’s names (which all start with L) onto the storefront to carry on with and honor his family.

 

OUR FUTURE

Through both tough and supreme times, Tom is headed into his 28th year as a barber and he couldn’t be more proud of the team we have built over the last 8 years. We want to ensure that we will continue to pursue what our guests need and have come to expect. We wouldn’t want it any other way.
