About an hour later I noticed I was short 20 dollars. I went back to their shop and asked if I had left it behind.

Easy parking, comfortable atmosphere, reasonable wait, good haircut, pleasant barbers and clientelle, fair price. IDK what these people who gave this place 1 star are talking about, my haircut is better than anything I've gotten in the area in the last two years, had to make an appointment and pay 2-3x as much for. Thanks Joe! I'm a new regular.

Pretty excited to write this post.. I found a great…read morebarbershop in Maine ! So I was going to wait until I was back in CT to get a cut, but something told me to take a chance and check out Goodfellas. This place seems to have multiple talented barbers and a great barber atmosphere that I wasn't expecting to find in Maine. The music was diverse and soulful, the crowd was homogeneous( obviously) but quite the wide age range. Every barber seemed to take good care of each guest- as I saw multiple guys leave with different and excellent cuts. My experience was exactly what I needed, but honestly not what I was expecting. My barber communicated with me about how I wanted my cut and confidently took charge. This was my first visit at Goodfellas and we talked a bit about my time in Southern Maine. As a black male, trusting someone to cut your hair (especially in a predominately non-minority state) is very frightening.. Glad I took a chance with Goodfellas!

the WORST haircut i've ever received. I got a bad haircut and went to him to just fix up the…read moreback.... Instead of listening and only taking hair off the back he did his own thing and cut all my hair off my head and left me with this short, ugly hybrid of a middle part and a mohawk. He was also weird as fuck and was talking about starting a money laundering business and selling drugs as well as his history of sexual acts. Mind you i'm a child. He also tried to indoctrinate me into not going to college because it's "what the system expects me to do." Weird guy, failed to cut my hair as I asked, and still charged me 45 bucks.

They then proceeded to talk smack about every other barber in town, how they are the best and everyone else is trash. I believe this to be the owner of the establishment with the way he acted. He spent more time talking about himself and how "awesome" he was and not paying attention to what I was requesting. After it was all said and done, it cost me $50+ for a mediocre haircut, form supposedly the best. There are plenty of other barbers that are in the Portland area far better than this place. He's not as "awesome" as he believes himself to be.

He offers appointment times that are convenient for early risers. I was initially apprehensive about allowing Conn to cut my hair since I wasn't familiar with his skills. I'm glad that apprehension quickly turned into amazement after he finished his work. It's clear that Conn is experienced and takes the time to understand his clients' needs, ensuring the haircut meets and exceeds expectations.Beyond the quality of the cut, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Conversation flows naturally, and there's no sense of being rushed, which makes the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Thanks for the cut, bro! I'll definitely be back.

"Vicious" dog (NO, not really) sometimes there as well, which I consider a plus. I first went to this shop years ago after I attempted to get a trim from a barber in Falmouth.

I scheduled my appointment with Weetie for 3:00PM, on my way to the airport for a 5:30 flight.

During my appointment, I got notice that my flight was delayed, which allowed me to further relax after Weetie had worked her magic, so I spent some time in the massage chair, and sipping on coffee.
