Meet Othmane
One vision. Cambridge's barbershop worth coming back for.
Barbering Isn't What
Othmane Does — It's Who He Is
Othmane picked up a pair of clippers for the first time — and from that moment, he knew this was his calling. What started as a passion quickly became a profession, and a profession became a mastery.
Years in the industry taught him something most barbers never fully grasp: that a great haircut isn't just about the cut. It's about reading the person in the chair — their face shape, their lifestyle, their confidence — and giving them something that works for them, not just something that looks good in the mirror for five minutes.
In 2025, Othmane made his dream a reality. He opened Belvedere Barbershop at 864 Massachusetts Ave in Cambridge — a shop that reflects everything he believes a barbershop should be. Classic. Precise. Welcoming. Built on respect for the craft and respect for the client.
Cambridge is a city that values excellence. Othmane built Belvedere for this community — for the Harvard student before a big interview, the professional who won't accept anything less than perfect, and the father bringing in his son for his first real haircut. Every single one gets the same level of care and attention.

A Commitment
"I opened Belvedere because I wanted to build something lasting — a place where people walk in feeling one way and leave feeling completely different. Not just about their hair. About themselves."
Every technique Othmane brings to the chair — skin fades, straight-razor beard work, scissor cuts, textured styling — was refined over years of learning, adapting, and pushing his own standards higher. He doesn't cut corners. Literally or figuratively.
At Belvedere, the goal is simple: be the best barbershop in Cambridge. That means showing up every day, being honest with clients, and caring about the result as much as they do.

More Than a Barbershop
The barbershop has always been more than a place to get a haircut. It's a community space — a place for conversation, for catching up, for feeling at home. We're proud to carry on that tradition at 864 Massachusetts Ave.
Our clients are Cambridge residents, Harvard and MIT students, professionals from Kendall Square, and families who've been coming to us since day one. We're part of the fabric of this neighborhood, and that matters to us.
We believe in being a business that gives back — supporting local events, welcoming student discounts, and treating every single person through our door with the same level of care and respect.
