My husband, our 14 month old son and myself stopped in this past Saturday for my son's 1st hair cut. I was recommended to go here by a coworker who said she had come in the week before with her 18 month old. She said she couldn't remember the name of the barber they got, but he was great, had a big beard and dark, thicker framed glasses. She also mentioned that it gets pretty busy on Saturdays and you may have to wait a bit. When we came in on Saturday, there were two barbers cutting 2 clients, no one was waiting to be next, except us. We took a quick seat and then from the back emerges the barber my friend described, awesome! (I also noticed there was a 4th barber in the back room, just hanging out, playing a guitar and waiting for a customer)...this is a cool and chill place. Comes to find out this mysterious bearded man is named Ray. He was absolutely fantastic with our son. My husband and I honestly could not believe how calm our son was as Ray was cutting his hair, he barely moved! It was really a great experience and so happy we chose here to get his hair cut. We will totally be back. side note: we must have walked in at the perfect time, as we left there was 3-4 men waiting for haircuts.. read more

Dan & Joe's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Madison, Connecticut

See all

I've been going here for years and have never had a complaint. Every barber is friendly and easy going. I personally go to Dan or Ray as they are usually their in the morning, but I hear both have recently departed to seek new business ventures. I would suggest going and scoping the place out as it is a popular place and can fill up fast. read more

These barbers are slow jerks. After it took an hour for me to get my hair cut on a Tuesday morning, I let the owners know I found their jokes about Latinos and illegal immigrants offensive. The owners response: "Dude it's a barbershop. Go to a salon." If you've got a lot of time on your hands and you want to pack a lip at 10 AM and shoot the shit with some bros, go here. If not, stay away. read more

I want to give this place a 5 star review, because they DO cut good but I can't for a few reasons. A - They don't do appointments. This forces you to walk in and basically gamble with your time. This wouldn't be a problem if you can find out how long the wait is before you go there right? Well.... B - They don't even have a business line so you can't even call in to see how long the wait is, and believe me....there is always a wait here. A few times I have just walked by in interest to get a cut early in the morning only to see 6 people waiting and 1 barber cutting. C- They work slow. So once again be prepared to wait, especially if you're requesting a certain barber. D - They don't take cc. It's 2017. There are rarely any business that only accept cash now. E - The hours suck. Most people work 8-5 jobs and this place closes every day at 5 except on Thursday's at 6. Saturday only open for 4 hours and good luck because you'll be spending most of your day in there because of all the people. Honestly, the way they run the business makes you think YOU as the customer need to fit into THEIR schedule. It should really be the other way around. Be more considerate to your customers: Get a business phone and if you know you're going to be swamped in the morning because of your popularity, put 2-3 barbers on, you guys have 4 chairs. read more

I've known Dan now for 10 years, Joe for 5+. They are two outstanding gentleman and I can proudly say I drive from Boston to Madison every month (for the most part) to have my haircut here. Won't find a better place in CT. read more

Saturday morning. Shop says they open at 8 am. Walk in to get haircut. Ten waiting only one barber shows up. They employ four. This is the usual. What does one expect for $25 and an expectation of a tip. Would've had to wait three hours at the speed most of the barbers here cut and shoot the BS. PLEASE RUN ACREAL BUSINESS read more

These guys are amazing! Best haircut I've ever had! The atmosphere is welcoming to all, from children to adults. The conversation is always light and lively! All joking around aside though, their work is the best around. Perfect cuts every time, straight razor work on the neck, and impeccable beard work. I should know, I have the best beard around! I wouldn't trust it to anyone but DAN & JOES! read more

Great barbershop. Recommend it to all my friends. Make sure you have time for your cut, not fast paced like chain shops, but their quality is the best you'll find. read more

Dan and Joe's Barbershop is simply the best on the shoreline. Friendly environment with excellent service. You can be yourself and enjoy a good laugh. Plus, they have a friendly dog name Buzz who greets you and doesn't mind a good belly rub. And yes, if you go there on a Saturday you will have to wait and that is because they are that good and people don't mind waiting. read more

Ive been holding off on a review until I had visited dan and joes at least three times. I've been to many barber shops in my life and I especially enjoyed those I went to in my youth in the 1950's & 60's in Brooklyn NYC. I've found a place that is reminiscent of it, though a lot more modern, but much the same. A row of barber chairs and very talented barbers each offering much the same attention and detail to their work. Always a full house of patrons and an empty chair every 10 minutes (not saying it's a 10 minute haircut but another chair becomes available quickly). They are meticulous and polite and spend the time needed to please you. There's nothing like a straight razor and hot lather at the end. I thank you John for a wonderful haircut today and "no surprise at the end", it was just the way I wanted it! read more

The experience you'll have at this barbershop, is nothing short of amaZing. They've taken traditional, boring haircuts, and made them fun, relaxing and enjoyable. I take my kids and they have more fun than I do. They have NO problem entertaining kids, so you can have an enjoyable experience. You're not going to get that anywhere. After all....isn't it all about quality? If u want a stranger to murder your hair and charge u $7 for a haircut, go to supercuts and walk out looking like a moron. If u want the best, go here! Hey, Byron B, didn't I see you at chucky cheeses last week, stalking all the little boys? Yeaaaaaah buddy...that was you! Now ur writing bogus reviews on yelp........just sad. read more

Great for boys (8 & 10) haircuts. Best cuts they have ever had. And a cool atmosphere.

Brought my 3 sons in for a haircut this afternoon. We were taken right away and we were out of the shop in less than an hour. I'm so pleased with their work as are my boys. We'll be back again! read more

Dan and Joes is a fantastic barbershop. I moved to Ct years ago from Jersey. I found nothing but hillbilly type of establishments along the shoreline but once I found Dan and Joes I knew I found a home. Service is always quick and I leave with a smile and with the best Steve Harvey type shape up money can buy. These guys are a pleasure and funny. When I didn't think I could look any better these guys took it up a notch and made me the prettiest looking black man on the shoreline. read more
