Michael is a master barber, an earned accolade. His "spa" is a great escape from the real world…read more Never rushed, great conversation and a fabulous haircut or shave . You can even get your nails done! Highly recommend

Extremely disappointed with the quality of barber here…read more The first barber I went to did a pretty good job the first 4 times. I stopped giving him instructions on the 5th cut. The 5th time he gave me the worst haircut I've had in memory. Cut it way too short on the back of my head which led to my cowlick sticking up for literally a month no matter how much product was put in it. Unacceptable to make this bad of a mistake after cutting someone's hair this many times and being given precise instructions the first 4 times. This barber also kept giving me styling clay (doesn't work for my hair) rather than pomade when I asked for pomade specifically. Finally on the 4th cut I pointed out the label on the fking can which says pomade and said "this is pomade dude the other one is styling clay, read the label". He didn't like that but whatever. I complained to the owner about the results of the 5th cut and asked him if the owner could fix it on my next visit. To the owner's credit, he attempted to fix it free of charge. That's where the credit ends. There were several actions the owner took which were unprofessional and reflected extremely poorly on his skill, attention to detail, and ability to admit mistakes. I took the time to show him 5-7 pictures including examples of good haircuts and the terrible haircut Barber 1 had given me. He joked, verbatim "that actually looks kind of cool" in one of the shots where my hair looked terrible. Glad he could find the humor in an upset customer's situation. I explained to him multiple times during and before the cut that my hair needs to have sufficient length to avoid sticking up. He was careful not to trim the back given what the previous barber had done, but gave me a FADE ON THE SIDES. Now my hair will stick up worse than before for at least 3 weeks. When I told him he messed this up he said "oh a little product will fix it." No dude. No amount of product in the world will cause my hair to lay flat when its cut this short. Also he couldn't even do the sideburns properly! I had to fix it myself with a razor later. Pathetic! When he realized that he had cut it too short and that my one bald spot was showing, he said "Oh well it is what it is we're not trying to cover it up". What a joke of a professional. I've had my hair cut by many experienced barbers. Barbers with a tenth of his "experience" have recognized my bald spot and been thoughtful enough to layer it so it doesn't show. I told him to his face "When it's cut correctly the bald spot doesn't show". He would not take accountability for doing a bad job, saying "your hair is difficult to cut, it's hard to do it right on the first time, if i didn't cut it this short it would look bad etc..." He also said "you get what you pay for". My favorite barber in Monroe charges $25 relative to his $80. He understood how to cut my hair perfectly from the first time and has never messed it up. All in all, this place is 100% style over substance. They charge a high price and have nice furnishings. If you are looking for a skilled cut and have difficult to cut hair, I would reconsider. Herrcutters in Darien are extremely professional and have the quality to back up their price. Matt at Matt and Louie's is phenomenal in Monroe but don't take reservation so be prepared to wait.

Excellent Haircut! I…read morepicked 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.

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.

Absolutely love this place. My two sons (ages 7 and 4) and I have all gotten our hair cut by Tarif…read morefor the past year or so and have absolutely no complaints. He does fantastic work, particularly with kids, and everything always comes out looking great. He'll make sure everyone is comfortable, ask what we'd like to watch on TV (usually football for me and Spongebob for them) and make sure that we have a beverage on hand before getting to work. So great to have a place like this in town that's this reliable and good quality. I haven't been pleased with a number of other places in the Southport/Westport area since we moved up here over 7 years ago, but happy that we've finally found a place that works for all of us.

I would classify H&N as affordable luxury. I've enjoyed the experience and have generally had good…read moreto very good services. I recommend being a member vs à la carte services. The vibe is nice and treatment areas very relaxed, especially for feet and hands. A few ideas for improvement: stop the turnover and bring consistency to the phone call experience. How about start asking if you're a member or not and get the members info up and running to move the call along. I would also insist that H&N have a list of services with the cost of credits for each service. I have asked for that service/credit list a few times and have been told it doesn't exist. The only way to find this info is to sign in to their site and do a booking for a service. It wills be nice to have a cheat sheet with members' info. Therefore not a total frictionless five star experience.
