Until I found clockwork I had never been to a barbershop. I found them to be intimidating and just…read morescary! Like if I went in and didn't know exactly what kind of haircut I wanted to if I didn't know all the barbershop protocol I'd be laughed at or asked to leave. Clockwork has the visual appeal of a classic neighborhood barbershop with none of the intimidation. Tom, the owner and main barber is a kind, open and inviting person. His area is decorated with toys from the 1970's and 80's as well and music memorabilia and other random fun things to look at. Tom is also a well trained barber! He knows his stuff. He can cut hair based on what you say you want, what you think you want, a photo or he can offer a suggestion based on your current look. Tom is also very good at barber small talk and is educated and well versed on a variety of topics and is always willing to learn about new topics from a client. Clockwork Barbershop is an open and all inclusive shop. All are welcome and no hate speech or disrespect of any kind is tolerated. Anyone that needs a haircut is welcome!! As an added bonus you can book your appointments online at the Clockwork barbershop website!! How cool is that?!? I honestly can not recommend this place enough!! Thanks for all the great haircuts!!!

cannot say enough good things about this barbershop. From the moment you walk in, it truly feels…read morelike family. Their hospitality and customer service are consistently exceptional, and it is clear that they genuinely care about the people who sit in their chairs. Charlie is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people you will ever meet. He remembers what is going on in your life, asks about your family, and talks to you with real care and attention. It is a family run shop, and his sons Mark and Leo bring that same warmth and skill to every appointment. They are all incredibly talented, and you never have to worry if one of them is out of town. They work seamlessly as a team, and your hair always comes out exactly the way you want it. Every visit is comfortable, friendly, and consistently enjoyable. This shop is a true gem in the community. If you want a barbershop where you feel welcome, listened to, and cared for, this is the place.

Can I please merely say that the cut I received makes me want to tear my hair out and it (surely…read moreunintentionally) set me up for at least a year of discomfort at a critical point of my life. I am totally uncomfortable and unconfident with a dorky mobster-like haircut that lacks finesse (frankly, it looks stupid, with many uneven ends apparent months later and revealing a silly cowlick on the back of my head, which has never once been an issue for me). Simply not at all what I envisioned or needed. Sure the place's regulars love the classic cuts they receive, but I did not appreciate the barbershop treatment at a place holding itself out as a salon on a Broadway Avenue in a city like Providence. I strongly recommend the place adds a unisex-friendly specialist to their team - that would really modernize this joint, which is not a 5-star one.

Had an incredible experience at Skip's Barbershop in Providence. Went in for the Executive Service…read more($150) as a treat for launching my own company and switching gears professionally. The Executive Service consisted of a haircut, facial cleanse, and hot towel straight-razor shave. The experience was luxurious and Jerry the barber was outstanding. First of all, the shop is incredibly nice. There's ample street parking and the place is spacious, new, and feels like a mix of a classic barbershop with modern amenities. I liked how clean the place is. Each barber's station and the entire floor was pretty spotless. Jerry, the barber, was very friendly and a great conversationalist. I enjoyed the 90 minutes we spent together chatting. With regard to the haircut, I felt like there was great care taken with every detail. It wasn't as if I was being put through an assembly-line haircut. It was deliberate, careful, and done in steps to get everything from the fade, to the lines in the back, and around the forehead and sideburns right. When we started to get into the "spa" part of the Service, I was put back in the chair, given a hot towel, and then given a facial cleanse which was put on by one of these sonic scrubbers. Face felt unbelievably smooth and clean afterward. The straight-razor shave was equally excellent. There were at least two more hot towels involved, a careful straight-razor shave, an electric razor to make sure everything was hit, and nice-smelling after shave products, which helped soothe everything right away. If you want to splurge on yourself but not go to a traditional spa, this is the service for you. I highly recommend it. I was in and out in 90 minutes, which helps for the work schedule, but was enough time to feel like you were "treating yo self." Highly recommend!
