Grunge music is OK, but I don't think it makes good background sound in a place like this. Maybe some bluegrass? We may be back, but we'll be looking for decent, non-franchise, independent places like Gent's, but that are closer to home.

Great affordable haircut without the pressure of the unknowns on if they can cut hair or not. The…read moreshop was the cleanest barber shop I have ever been into before.

Today was our first visit, but it definitely won't be the last. Jessica was the barber my husband…read moresat with. She was fantastic and quick! She trimmed his beard, used the straight blade on him, tamed some crazy eyebrow strays, and cleaned up his neckline. His look was completely refreshed after sitting in her chair. The cost was also so wonderful, I was completely comfortable with leaving a 100% tip. How often can you say that about anyplace these days? My husband will need to come back at least once a month to maintain his style, and I'm all for it. We're thankful to have found such a great place on the first try.

Another person walked in and they asked if he had been helped. In helping him they asked if he had an appointment. I asked if this was appointment only. They said yes. At no place did they have a sign that says that they are appointment only. I'm sure they are a good shop because they were busy but maybe ask that first before trying to sell me valentine candies.

A true barbershop that offers the best haircut in town in a great atmosphere. Having moved to the…read morearea a few years ago I was searching for a barbershop with the feel and service of my hometown barber and I finally found it. He gives an unmatched haircut and pays great attention to detail. Even tops it off with a true straight razor shave of your neck. The atmosphere is great with Sinatra playing and giving you an experience of the days when a trip to the barber was more than just a haircut. The waiting area has big overstuffed leather chairs and features a train that travels around the ceiling. My boys love waiting their turn to sit in the chair. Great barber, excellent atmosphere and all at a terrific price. I have found a gem hidden away in Winchester and he has a lifetime customer. I highly recommend this shop.

I had a great overall experience at Hammer & Nails. The shop definitely lives up to its "luxury…read moregrooming for men" vibe--I left feeling relaxed and taken care of. My haircut with Chrissy was amazing. She was warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, and the conversation made the whole experience even better. She really set the tone for a great visit. The front desk staff (I'm sorry I forgot her name) was also very welcoming. She took the time to introduce the services and even gave me a tour, which I appreciated. The only part of my visit that didn't quite match the rest was my pedicure. The technician--Arlene or Marlene, I believe--seemed to rush through the session. She had a headphone in, which I don't mind if it helps her focus, but the overall experience felt a bit quiet and less engaging. I would've appreciated more check-ins, like asking if everything felt okay or if I had any specific concerns (for example, areas like calluses that I wanted extra attention on). That said, everyone was very nice, and I still left feeling pampered. With just a little more attention to detail during the pedicure, this would've been a perfect experience.

Great haircut. Spurr of the moment and she made space for me. Highly recommend this shop. Thanksread more

Louis, Louis, Louis, Louis…read more.. I was 6, just learning how to read, when my grandfather assured me that Louis was pronounced Louie. He was an honest man, so I believed him. But it instilled in me, a great distrust for the English language. Louis, the proprietor of Central Barber Shop, has been cutting hair for well over 40 years. For the exact number, you'd have to ask him. I'm sure he'd be obliged to answer and discuss any number of topics, or give you advice as any good, ol' time barber should. If you think that Woodstock resembles Mayberry, then you should step into Central Barber Shop and meet Floyd's doppelganger. The resemblance is uncanny. Not only do they look alike, but they treat their clientele the same. People have been coming to Louis all of their lives (if I still lived in Woodstock, I'd be one of them). Back in the day, there wasn't much competition; sure now theres dozen's of other quafferies to choose from, but Central Barber Shop is more than just a place to get your haircut- Its a familiar face. It's that nostalgia that you cant seem to find anymore in todays hustle-and-bustle, instant gratification society. It's that warm, smothering hug from your grandmother. The loyal, gray-faced black lab who meets you at the door when you come home from a long day. That old elm tree you used to climb on and nap under on those hot summer afternoons... Sure, you don't get that gratis' straight-razored, hot shaving cream shave on the back of the neck anymore. But you do get that traditional "ears-lowered" cut that was good enough for your father, and your grandfather, and is still good enough for you. Thanks for staying true, Lou. And thanks for remembering my name, even after not seeing me for 7 years.
