Opening in March, 2013 with a goal to change the standard of men’s grooming in Portland, Maine; we set out in a mission that quickly cemented in modern barbering. Introducing cleaner cuts, better service, high reliability, consistent scheduling, and straight razor finishes. Something that previously was unfamiliar to Portland natives. 11 years later, we’ve spawned a movement and have inspired dozens of numerous new shops, barber schools, and dozens of fresh barbers all over Maine. With our new location being a turn of the leaf, we’ve set new goals to take things to the next level and look forward to the next segment here in Portland.

I have had countless cuts with varying styles from Jason H and he crushes it every time! Great convos and 10/10 haircuts. He is one of the best barbers around.

Excellent atmosphere, super chill staff, and most importantly, incredibly high-quality haircuts! Joel, in particular, is the best barber I've ever had; he has created and nurtured my mullet for the last year or so now, and it's been the perfect blend of styles that I'm looking for. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I’ve been going to momentum for a few years now and always have had a positive experience with all the barbers, but I wanted to give a particular shoutout to Abz today. Professional, conversational, and gave a great cut in only 30 minutes. I would recommend Abz and momentum as a whole to anyone getting a haircut in the Portland area!

Excellent atmosphere, super chill staff, and most importantly, incredibly high-quality haircuts! Joel, in particular, is the best barber I've ever had; he has created and nurtured my mullet for the last year or so now, and it's been the perfect blend of traditional American and Euro trash styles that I'm looking for. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Just had a great hair cut with Julian. I usually see Ben or Allie, but they were both booked up. I saw Julian instead. You know when you leave a hair cut appointment and it looks better than you expected? Yeah, that. I explained the cut I wanted and he let me know that he typically specializes in clipper-cuts, but he’d make it happen.I think I was in and out of the chair in 18 minutes and the cut is awesome. I’d recommend this guy to anyone. I’ve only worked with these three barbers, but so far that back corner of this shop’s got it going on.

Great service and haircut! Ben was amazing and made me feel welcome upon my first visit. Not from the area, but the haircut he gave me felt like one I would get back home. Highly recommend Momentum Barbershop and a plus if you can get Ben!!!

Been coming here a couple years now. I bring my two sons now 4 and 13. The team is always welcoming and good to us. Our original barber Ryan moved out of state. It was sad to see him go he’s been cutting my youngest since he was 1 giving him really nice skilled cuts. He promised to leave us in good hands and he did! Our new barber Marcel is great, and also gives very skilled cuts. He also got my 4 y/o to graduate from sitting in my lap for his cut to sitting in the chair on his own! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a skilled fresh cut.

I have been going there for years since they were originally on Fore St. Jason runs a good shop and every cutter I've ever had was good. Prices are reasonable and staff are fun.

Had an amazing experience. Ben did my hair, and he did a fantastic job. This is my first experience at a barber shop altogether, and I definitely will be back.

The barber did a very good job with my haircut. He was very meticulous and has attention to details. Booking for an appointment online was quick and easy too.I just hope the management will improve on regularly cleaning all the cut hair on the floor after each haircut. Overall, it was a great experience!

Great experience there today! While I’m not normally one to review on Google, Jason H deserves recognition! Even though I was his last client of the day, instead of trying to get me out the door, he took his time and went above and beyond to fix the bad experience I had at a previous barber shop. He gave me one of the best cuts I have had in years! He also lined up the beard nicely as well. Highly recommend Jason H and Momentum!

Great spot and atmosphere, wonderful music (get there early for 70’s Metal), excellent customer service. Dillon does great work and has a wonderful and professional personality, worth my trip up from Philly each time I’m in town.
