    Big screen t.v. so you can watch t.v. or play video games while you wait.

    I first came across Jaws barbershop about a year ago when I was in the market for a new barber. I was referred to this place through an employee at a popular natural hair salon. As someone that was new to getting their haircut by a barber I was uneducated and not confident about what kind of haircut I wanted/looked good with. From the very first time I walked into Jaws Ant made me feel comfortable and ensured all of his customers were respectful of me. Every since my first hair cut I have not considered going to another barber. I have referred all of my coworkers and friends to Ant. The great thing about Ant is that he cuts every type of hair and is always up for a challenge. He is hands down the most respected and talented barber I've encountered since moving to the Hartford area.

    My 6 yo wanted a spider web, and that's definitely what he got! He's only been to one other barber, and otherwise I've just been massacring his hair myself, and after more than a year of pandemic shag, finishing kindergarten deserved a special cut. He felt pretty shy in there so was quiet, but after told me he really liked it and wanted to go back! And I definitely wasn't charged what I should have for the design! We'll definitely be back.

    Newly opened place. These guys held the shop on Sisson Ave. near the Half Door. Anthony owns this place. Video games, DVDs and music to listen to while you wait. Only one barber chair. They prefer appointments though you can walk in. These guys are pretty professional.

    Side shaved undercut with a cool design. She loves it and the vibe in the shop too!

    What can I say that five stars doesn't? The shop owner/barber was a cool guy who made us feel like we've been there before. We chose his shop from the pics he has posted of razor designs which is what we were looking for. Someone with skill and clean lines. We got exactly that. We will definitely be going back for our next shave!

    Anthony was professional, warm, genuine and patient as hell -- even when my son got cold feet and resisted at first.

I'd been recently fussing over my hair and she persuaded me to give Chris a visit. I was delighted to be able to schedule my appointment online. You can select your appointment time from half hour increments when Chris is available. He does have 2 barber chairs but currently he's the only one holding down the fort. He was incredibly welcoming and friendly as was his current customer getting his hair done. It's a wee place but cozy and comfortable. $25 for a haircut, less for kids cuts and beard trims. Chris is very good at what he does and he worked with me to come up with a style I would be happy with, and could grow into if I wanted to change it. (I brought photos of what I was looking for) He also told me that I have great hair and could pretty much do whatever I wanted with it---and no hair stylist has ever told me that. I've heard "your hair won't ever look like that picture". So, I found a new barber and I'm thrilled. Check him out.

They do very quality work they take the time to make you feel comfortable and ask if you need something else done . It's just a great place to get a haircut or whatever you need they will do it and you will feel very good once you leave there . I highly highly recommend Elmwood barber shop !!!

    As someone who has extremely thick hair, I am very much careful with who touches my hair, because…read moremy hair is a diva! I am part SubSaharan (despite people trying to say to me otherwise) and so because of that my hair has a tendency to snarl since it gets into tightly wound curls. I had asked my stylist (Angie) to do a long layered cut and to do a "Protective hairstyle." Somehow, I felt like the vibes were off. Although it no doubt looked amazing the first day, not even a week later my hair is tangling the same exact way as before I had gone to her to get it fixed. Say what you think, but the last photo is immediately after the appointment and these other three are the photos of what she had done to my hair a couple of days after my appointment. (My hair is definitely not made for applying heavy heat like that!)

    Meraki did a great job! This was my 1st in-salon cut and color in over a decade which means I was…read morein my 50's when I was last seen by a professional. First, they were almost on-time (I waited less than 10 mins after entering the salon and considering the fluidity of the process they were great). Mark cut my hair and the colorist (whose name I cannot recall - chalk it up to my old age!!) handled the dye process. The cut was well done - I only wish I had asked him to take a bit more off the top - which I mentioned on my way out and he offered to put me back in the chair on the spot but I declined - I wanted to test-drive his work to see how I felt. Then the colorist took over. I wanted the darkest blue dye job they could offer. They covered ALL the bases - all the way down to how my color would process as all my hair is white except for the back of my head which is medium grey, meaning that there would be different shade of blue, based on the existing color. I think they noted this so that if I wanted it to be uniform I would need to start with a bleaching. This was not needed as I was fine with the color this first time, but once again, they were keenly focused on customer satisfaction. The dye job turned-out to be a bit lighter than I had hoped-for, but because we had discussed it beforehand I was not surprised and was (am) satisfied with the outcome. I was also told that if I wanted a deeper blue I could return in 2-3 weeks and do another round of color which would further deepen the tone. In the end I tipped each 20-25% tip on half the total charge. Were I not disabled and retired I would've tipped a bit more, as each took very good care of me. So, long story short, the salon was great and the service was great, not only because they did a great job (which both certainly did) but moreover because they made it clear that they wanted to ensure that, and every point between my arrival and my departure, I had the best customer experience they could possibly offer...and at that they succeeded 100%!! I will DEFINITELY be returning in the future and they fully have my complete recommendation to others looking for great hair care and a Grade-A customer service experience!!
