Excellent Haircut! I picked Paolo based on his yelp reviews and the experience exceeded my expectations. I showed up at 6:15pm and had to wait a few minutes, which is expected. 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. read more

I've had a consistently excellent experience here. He takes his time and gets things done right. Lots of experience and good advice.

While my haircut was good, not great or bad, just good, the price and experience was just okay. I think 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. read more

I've been going to Paolo for years. Just recently Paolo was booked up so I took my son to the new barber in his shop, Nestor. My son is young and still has a hard time with haircuts but Nestor was calm and professional, even with a screaming, flailing and crying baby! Even after all that the cut came out well and was quick. It's good to see Paolo expand his shop and bring on a talented barber to round out his new bigger shop. If you're looking for a great haircut with personal care and attention you can't go wrong with Paolo or Nestor from Royal Cuts Studio! read more

Great service! Both my son and my husband visit Paolo. He listens in, knows his job, provides recommendation upon request. Highly recommend!

Hand's down the best barber in Stamford and worth the trip to CT. I've been coming to Paolo for over a year now and find it every convenient that I can book the reservation on-line and just show up. He pays attention to detail, takes his time, and thoroughly listens to understand what you really want. While he isn't the cheapest barber in town you get what you pay for! I'd much rather spend a few more bucks knowing I am getting a good haircut then waiting four weeks for it to grow out. read more

Paolo is a great barber. Don't expect a quick in-and-out cut, but great things take time. However, it's not cheap (which I guess you have to expect in Stamford, but I used to go to him because it was only $30... then he raised it to $40). He pays attention to detail, takes his time, tries to understand what you really want, and even remembers when you come back. My only knock is the price. He was the best value in town until he raised the price to $40 for a simple hair cut. Now there's not much that separates him from any other salon in town. read more

If I could give 10 stars here I would. Maybe my best haircut ever! I was traveling thru town on business and found this shop on Yelp. Not only is the 5 star rating spot on, the service level is out of this world. I needed a haircut before my work appointment and he came in early to open up and accommodate my schedule. I travel a ton for business and now I just need to figure out how I become a regular at this shop!!! Huge thanks, props and the highest recommendation. read more

Best barber in Stamford, CT! Great guy, great work and a beautiful space right next door to Home Goods. Worth every penny and never rushed. Takes his time to make it perfect. Incredible attention to detail. read more

Everything these reviews say speaks the truth about Paolo at Royal Cuts studio. I discovered him in July 2015 as I was looking for someone local to cut my hair. The first time Paolo cut my hair, I had no doubts that I would come back to him time and time again, and have been. Paolo is a true professional and is passionate about providing outstanding service for his customers. This young man takes time for every last detail to make sure you walk out looking your best. I've been to people that will have me in and out of their chair in 15-20 minutes, with Paolo, I would plan on a good 30-45 minutes (maybe more depending on what you have done), but that's what I'm talking about a true professional. He clips, trims and cleans up the fine details with a straight edge before you leave his suite, which has a bright clean atmosphere and he plays some music in the background creating a comfortable atmosphere as he works his magic! If you're looking for a good cut or style in Stamford or the surrounding area, see what Paolo can do for you at his Royal Cuts Studio. His services are worth it as he treats you like royalty and you leave looking like a million bucks! read more

I'm visiting from California and decided to book Paolo for a cut. Best cut I've had in awhile! He was very meticulous and detailed. I would strongly recommend him if you want to look sharp and at your best. Would be a good cut for a special occasion, etc. read more

My brother and I moved into the Stamford area about a year ago. He spent his first whole year trying diff places and no one can cut his hair the way he wanted so he will always end up with a bad haircut. So after doing some research on the Internet we finally came across Paolo so we decided to stop by his Studio. Paolo has a very Cool Studio, very clean and very welcoming. He gave my brother exactly the haircut that he was looking for. He took his time to give my brother a precise and well done haircut. He is definitely quality over quantity! You can tell how much of a perfectionist he is because he will not let you stand up from the chair until ur looking really sharp. In conclusion it was Great experience at his Studio, we definitely recommended! read more

Paolo Gave my 9 year old son a fantastic haircut. My son has straight hair with a few funky cowlicks, but Paolo was patient and professional. My son liked him so that's good enough for me! Price is on the higher end for a kids haircut IF you compare it to Supercuts. You get what you pay for so the price is worth it. read more

It's been over a week since Paolo cut my hair. Usually by this time, other barber's styling has gone with the wind.... but my hair has retained much of the structure and artistry that Paolo cut with his scissors, razor blade, and clippers. He is as dedicated a stylist as any I have found in Stamford. Caution, this isn't your standard get in get out barbership. Paolo is very deliberate and meticulous. Plan between 40-60 minutes. Time well spent. Time well saved. read more

Really professional and gave attention to small details . Took time and did not rush through will definitely go back .

Paolo has been cutting/styling my hair since the days when he was in a barbershop on Sound Beach Avenue in Old Greenwich. I have followed him to his current location on High Ridge Road in Stamford. His work is excellent, and his manner is highly professional. I always look forward to each visit to his Royal Cuts Studio. All his services are exceptional from his shaves to his complete haircuts. Heis the best stylist/barber that I have had in all my years. We are so fortunate to have such a talented stylist. read more

Paolo is a pro and the best barber around. Even with CODVID-19 he is the safest, cleanest, and best professional barber around who always takes pride in his work. I am very happy with the services he gave me and I will be using him again soon. read more

Paolo is very over rated and does not know how to run a business. Don't waste your time here unless you have loads of time to kill for an average haircut. read more

I've been going to Paolo for about half a year now and I have been very happy with my haircut every time I go (I go every 2-3 weeks). He never assumes you want the same haircut, so he always asks questions before he does anything. As an asian guy, it's very difficult to find a barber that is adaptable to the texture of my hair (i think only asian people would understand this), but it does require some additional detailing to make the hairstyle look clean and neat. The razor blade finish is a great plus as well. I highly recommend him. read more

Paolo is a terrible business man. Made an appoinment at 8am and after waiting in parking lot for 30 minutes he calls and says he forgot and wants me to come back at noon. Says he has a 9am appoinment and can't fit me in until noon. This guy is clueless and his skills are overated. read more

I recently move from Miami Fl, Im very particular with the type of haircut i get, I'm very happy i found Paolo, he is very professional and clean , also great costumer service I highly recommend this Barber to anyone very happy i found a New great Barber. read more

Highly recommend, Paolo always gives the best service and very professional. If you want to get a haircut, I would recommend to schedule an appointment. read more

I've been going to Paolo now for about a year. I've tried several different barbers in the area and he by far does the best job every time. He's extremely detailed and takes his time to give you the best hair cut possible so you walk out looking fresh! I highly recommend if you're new to the area and looking for a quality haircut. read more

Simply the best haircut I've ever received, the attention to detail is second to none, not only the best haircut you can get in Stamford, but all of Connecticut !!!! read more

I've been coming to Paolo since mid 2016, when i discovered him on yelp. Since then, I've religiously gotten 2 cuts a month so I've had 60+ haircuts from him. I would rate each one with 5 stars. Attention to detail, listens, makes suggestions, meticulous, focus, patient, clean tools/shop, and just generally a good guy. Anyone that goes to Paolo will know that fresh-to-death feeling when you walk out of his shop ... to me, that is a high return on my money. read more

Called and got same day appointment after reading reviews. Paolo gave very good haircut and is clearly a pro. Interesting setting, he has a private one-chair shop in a large building subdivided into suites. I probably won't be back because I prefer a barber shop atmosphere but can't fault the haircut. read more

Visiting the area briefly and needed a haircut. Paolo was able to give me a same-day appointment and I'm super happy with the results. He's created a comfortable vibe in his own studio (which is located in a complex that houses a variety of stylists) and it was a pleasure having my hair actually cut and not just clippers. My only complaint is that I wish I lived closer. Guess I'll have to find a Paolo in Maryland. read more

I had my first appointment with Paolo last week and it was one of the best experiences I've had getting a haircut. His attention to detail is amazing! He takes his time and explains everything he's doing before he does it and makes great suggestions on what products to use for your specific hair type and also shows you how to get the most out of styling it based on the way your hair type and the way it grows. I will definitely be back again! read more

Paolo is the man! He does a great job with his cuts. Totally a nice guy and takes his time doing the job. Definitely the most thorough haircut I've ever had and it looks great too! I tell every guy who is looking for a barber to check him out. read more
