Confused (since I have an appointment for 12:45 and it's 12:39), I tried to call John three times and he did not answer. Amidst my calls, I receive an automated email that my 12:45 appointment has been cancelled. This is extremely poor client management. What's particularly absurd is that this would have been my first time getting a haircut here. I guess the business is doing so well they don't need to convert new customers to regulars. I'll be sure to spread the word to my entire network. This is a good reminder to not trust a retail shop whose last review is over 1 year old.

Final nice thing: the parking at his new place is 800% better -super-easy as opposed to the frequent pain in the ass of parking in Old Greenwich's small 'downtown.'

I'm horrendous at describing how I'd like my hair done (as I am a guy), but these gentlemen can somehow translate my nonsense into good style. I honestly cannot possibly say I prefer either- they are both hitting 100%. Friendly banter, or comfortable silence being you preference at the moment- they tune into that. Everyone works to create a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, especially extraordinary level of service. Everyone I've interacted with there has gone out of there way to be gracious and helpful. *Just a heads up, remember to pay for parking (totally reasonable) but the Greenwich police are fairly diligent about parking tickets.

When I was a kid growing up my barber was my next door neighbor, a trusted family friend and the only man I allowed to touch my hair. Giuseppe Sr. showed me the same skill, care and attention to detail as my childhood barber and beyond. In under fifteen minutes he had given me a hard-part skin fade that, if you had googled images of that phrase, could have been the first hit. We talked very little but he understood exactly what I wanted, better than I was expressing it. He traced my neckline with hot lather and a straight razor like an artist would paint on canvas. He was gentle but swift with surgical precision. He didn't wrap up until he was completely satisfied by his own work, and then came the hot towel and light massage. We shook hands, he offered me an espresso and I was BLOWN AWAY when I was charged only $30. That's one thing very few reviews or general posts mention in black and white-- I'm sure they get into higher pricepoints the more you get done but for my experience I found this to be an exceptional value. I've paid $25 for shitty stripmall haircuts, I truly couldn't believe the best cut I'd gotten in twenty years came at such a reasonable price. For ambiance, amenities, professionalism, quality of workmanship and value for the money, this is a ten star business.

His studio is in a shared working space with other hair and makeup studios - very cool concept. But his studio feels very private, I loved this aspect - its not like most salons where other people are waiting and watching you get your haircut. Nice setup! I went for the 45 min haircut experience, most of the other places I've been have been 20-30 min. He really took his time to understand the type of cut I wanted and the length, we started a bit longer so I could see if thats what I wanted first. He used various techniques which was fun to watch, you can tell this guy enjoys his craft. He is super friendly, easy to talk to but not overbearing. My cut came out great and I'd never had a straight razor to clean up the lines before. I will definitely go back, I think for the price - he went above and beyond my expectations. Definitely check this guy out if you are looking for a great cut.

While my haircut was good, not great or bad, just good, the price and experience was just okay. I…read morethink the price is a bit too high for a basic haircut, though the straight razor at the end was a nice touch. The only reason why I am giving him 3 stars is because he was not on time for our appointment (I was the first slot of the day) and showed up almost 30 minutes later. Had I not gone into Home Goods to shop with my gf, I would've just gone home and wouldn't have bothered coming back. If I am going to pay $40+tip for a haircut by appointment only, the least that could be done is arriving on time for said appointment.

I really appreciate that they are open on Sundays, which makes fitting a haircut into a busy weekend schedule so much easier. Every single stylist here does a good job, though I personally like to stick with just one regular barber out of loyalty. My only real frustration is that when it is time to pay the thirty-five-dollar fee, they tack an extra transaction charge onto your card, which feels a bit unfair. Aside from that one minor annoyance, I genuinely enjoy coming here and always leave happy.

I had done a few looks around on Yelp as well as asking a friend of mine who used to live in Stamford as to where to go for a guy's haircut for my boyfriend, Lee. All signs seemed to point to these guys, so we decided to head over and check them out. It's really nice that for us, it's only a 10 minute walk from our apartment to the Marriott. There is also parking in the hotel parking lot. This place is a traditional barber shop, catering to guys. It was pretty packed, with almost standing-room seating, but there were 3 guys working the chairs that day, so things were going pretty fast. There were quite a few dads taking their sons in to get both of their hairs cut. It didn't take long before Lee was in the chair, and was getting a nice, professional cut. The guy waiting on him was really friendly to me as well, gesturing over to the free coffee and donuts that were on offer. When the cut was done, he asked me if I thought it was OK before he asked Lee, which I found amusing. Lee is still really happy with his cut, and has definitely found his new favorite place! I appreciated that they were friendly to me as well, and the price was good, although it is cash only.

Normally wouldn't leave a bad review over a haircut but this was a complete shit show:…read more Barber cut off well over an inch up top after I said I only wanted a half inch trim. He barely cut my sides even, though I showed him a photo of the burst skin fade I wanted and specifically said to use scissors, so now I had a weird bob look with my side and top almost being the same length. Had to stop him and say because he cut it too short I'd prefer he just do a mid skin fade to salvage it, he says he'll take care of it but then just uses the clippers to shave it down, not even doing what I asked for a second time. I pulled my phone out and looked up photos of what I was talking about but he just ignored me. Finished up and noticed he didn't even cut both sides evenly. I tried to show him, using my fingers to hold up my hair length so he can see how obviously the lengths were different, but he just walked to the register to ring me up. I just stayed quiet, paid and gave him his tip so I could leave and calm down. If you see a guy with an apron-vest combo packing all his things, highly suggest asking for someone else.
