Always a great haircut! Gammi is my go-to, but Justin also gives a good haircut. Allan is also good…read morebut I haven't been to him since I changed my hairstyle a few years ago. Walk ins are welcome but since most people make appointments you're rolling the dice if you just walk in. Also, Allan has a BIG heart and he's a GREAT guy! Some people see him as a little rough on the edges but, as someone who has been around many people of various backgrounds, I find that these impressions are false and are just related to culture differences and nothing bad. Each one of the barbers have loads of personality and heart and it's always entertaining when you engage with them. I highly recommend.

Central Barber Shop is located at 88 Center Street next to the bank, across from the walls of the…read morecemetery and less than 2 blocks from Colony Road. You have there free parking in front and in the back of the salon which is so convenient when it is snowing or raining. I'm giving you all this data because there are 3 barber shops in this 2-block area and I want you to get to the Best Barber Shop in Wallingford whether you are awake or walking in your sleep. You will have committed a grave error if you enter the wrong salon. There, as in Z's butcher shop in Hartford, where he is afraid to get his own hair cut by his fellow employees, you will not get your hair cut, rather you shall be fleeced like a helpless ewe and regret it for a whole month until your hair grows back and you finally go to Central Barbershop for damage control. Do you know what you really get at Central? You get an European stylish haircut tailored to your preferences. My barber there, who is the owner, immigrated from central Europe. He will start cutting your hair until you tell him, in simple terms, how you wanted cut. I used the same answer I used when I was stationed in Thailand and in Japan: "After I leave your barbershop, i want people to think that my haircut was done two weeks ago!" My barber in Wallingford, CT., responded, "Gotcha!..." Now, do you want to accept my 5-star recommendation along with all the other 5-stars from so many satisfied customers who feel as I do and GO to Central Barbershop, or take Mr. Z.'s envious, trumpian opinion of one barber who doesn't trust his co-workers to give him an acceptable cut, and based on that, you go somewhere else to be fleeced? Remember what Forester Gump used to say, "STUPID as STUPID does! Silverio (SAM) B. {Yelp said that "this review is looking pretty epic! Nice! }

My hairdresser recently moved locations and is too far from me. Was recommended Di Michele's. I…read morescheduled an appointment with Murph, and was incredibly impressed with the outcome. The space is easy going and my hair loooks great. I felt that he listened to what I asked for and checked in with me throughout the haircut. I have thicker hair, so he did a great job thinning it while keeping it the style I prefer.

I walk in the door and before I could even sit down one of the 3 guys cutting hair ask me if I had an appointment. I said no and he said sorry it's appointment only and we are booked today and tomorrow but you can make an appointment for another day. Is this a barbershop or a salon? Usually you just wait for the next guy to be finished and walk ins are welcome. Nope, not this place and not with any of these 3 guys. Apparently they're too good for walk ins. And just a side note, it doesn't say anywhere that it's appointment only.
