I came in on short notice and sat down with Lauren. I've always heard about the hairdressers chair…read morebeing like a truth elixir and you know I've never experienced the verbal just share-everythingness ... until today. Thank you Lauren for your fastidious attention to detail & the time you spent lightening and toning my hair. I came in and it was exceptionally clean and all I told her in terms of direction is that I wanted to feel really different when I walked out. I showed her one photo and told her I trusted her judgement and for the most part I didn't really look again until the end .. (we agreed on the length vibe together) but I appreciated her professionalism and her kindness and genuine honesty in what looked good (and what the color needed to be) :) spent a little bit of time letting the color lift & we rinsed (& she decided it needed to be toned a little) & I just appreciated everything about this experience and how I feel now. I left so much lighter than I came in and I can't thank you enough. Okay so I changed this to four stars and I'll tell you why... Basically I was happy but I washed my hair and I just didn't vibe with it in the end. I ended up going to another salon (today) and having a balayage done. Lauren was super honest with me that it wasn't her speciality and we just did a standard doom highlight but I felt like my roots were too light and streaky and so anyway that's how I found myself somewhere else getting it redone 1 day later. I don't really fault her ... she was honest. I just idk it wasn't working for me & bc I'm embarrassed I prob would not be back.

A great little shop. Reminds me a lot of the barber shops that were near me when I lived in NYC…read more Unless you get there first thing when they open, be prepared to wait (the longest I've waited is 2 hours). There's only 2 chairs, and sometimes it's only the son working. Both barbers do an incredibly thorough job (way more than the cost suggests), so a decent cut will take 20 minutes or so. But in a way, I don't mind the wait. The TV in the corner is tuned to whatever station plays TV shows from the 70s most of the time, and the clientele all seem to know each other, so it's a friendly atmosphere that makes the wait just part of the experience. Highly recommended!

When I called for a manager they put him on the phone. It was like talking to a rock. I asked nicely and was not helped in anyway. People should be informed of scammy places like this.

I've been there twice. First time my wife had made me an appointment for 2:00 but nobody greeted me…read moreor asked if I had an appointment so I just sat down. One of the three barbers left while I was waiting and several walk-ins were seated before me. I was finally seated about an hour later. The hair cut was good not great. Today I went back as a walk-in. I arrived shortly before 2:00, the 3 chairs were filled with one person waiting. Again, no greeting, no inquiry as to if I had an appointment, I had to look down to verify I was indeed visible. As I waited my turn, one after one walk ins came in and were taken ahead of me, seemingly because they knew the guys. After waiting 30 minutes a guy walks in, says hello to one of the barbers and the barber asks if he has an appointment, he responds he does not. He was taken next. 45 minutes into my wait one of the 3 barbers leaves. Someone finally addresses me to inform me that if I wish to continue waiting it will be another hour. Wow! So I ask if I can make an appointment for the next day, dude looks at his phone and says "maybe come in tomorrow around 2:00". Trying to support young local business' I agree, but he didn't ask my name and didn't make any notation on his phone or paper. I think they do a decent job, but unless you know them, find a place that honors appointments and takes walk ins based on when they walked in. I'd rather pay a few more dollars in exchange for my time being respected.

Marquay asked me what type of haircut I wanted and he provided the applicable trimming. The service was quick and he gave me a great haircut! He was never nice and accommodating to my requests. Mike's Barber Shop has a nice barber shop feel. They have the big chairs lined up and everything. It is nice if you are looking for that feel! Checking out was quick and easy. I paid at the front and they actually gave me two passes to a movie at Metro Movies, which is in the same shopping center! Altogether, I had a good experience at Mike's Barber Shop and will likely be back!

Went back inside to get it fixed, which he attempted to do, and when I got to my car again and combed it out, there were huge chunks of hair much longer than the rest. I realized at this point I was not going to get a decent haircut here, and went to a different shop. The stylist laughed at how bad my haircut was, and proceeded to fix it. They may do some haircuts well, but I would highly recommend avoiding this shop if you have long hair.

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?
