Today I walked in for the first time, I needed my haircut as soon a possible. Tom stepped down to greet me and said he had an opening. I am beyond happy and grateful for the cut I was given. It's easily the best one I have ever had. He listened to what I wanted, kept checking to see how I liked it throughout the entire time. Tom was personable and understanding. Being hear impaired, I often struggle with verbal communication. Tom naturally acclimated to my disability and put me at ease. I will certainly be back. read more

Hmm. So was going to try this place out as I had just moved to Simbsury (though I have been working here for years, and passed by the place every day.) Pulled into the "parking lot" such as it is, walked up to the door and saw the "no credit cards" notice. That was enough to have me headed elsewhere. Don't get me wrong. I'm a boomer, aged 66, but who carries around that much cash anymore? I rarely even carry my checkbook. I honestly cannot remember that last time I paid cash or even a check for a haircut. I think it was sometime in the 90s. Yes, I know credit card fees cut into profits, but seriously, who doesn't take plastic these days? Or Venmo? PayPal? Also, there's research that says electronic payments actually increase tipping amounts! I think I'll be blaming Arista for my winding up paying an exhorbitant price up the street at that fancy men's grooming salon because I needed a haircut. (It was nice, but no better than the old Italian barber down near Times Square that my grandfather, father, and I all frequented. So tell me, those of you who frequent Arista--Is it really worth my making an extra stop to get cash from an ATM or when I'm grocery shopping so I can maybe get a haircut at a reasonable price at Arista? Tell me it's worth it, and if I have a good experience, I'll happily change this review and my rating. [Also, to have a sign on the door that says "no credit cards" but then doesn't list prices so you know if you might, just might have enough cash--I wouldn't have anyway, but still--just feels like a serious oversight froma consumer point of view read more

Decent cut. Nothing fancy about the place. My barber kept mentioning how he had worked at Regis in Simsbury (now closed) however that really didnt impress me. read more
