I sat down in the chair and showed specifically what kind of low fade I wanted and also told the barber I wanted four inches left over on top as a comb over and I didn't get exactly what I wanted, the fade I got is not a fade at all it is more of a buzz all around and I was left with about an inch and a half on top of my head. Not a horrible hair cut but if you have any standards like I do this place would not be my first choice.

Highly recommend if you're in Clinton or nearby on the shoreline. I got an incredibly thorough and…read moresharp fade haircut. The barber took his time and was great to talk to, very much worth the money. The barbershop itself is very modern, well designed. They do a great job of keeping it clean during these times and spacing out appts.

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! }

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..
