Reviews of Garrett's Barber Shop (Barber Shop)

Mike Mackie

Friendly service and nice hair cut.

Dave Buchholz

This place is great. I've been getting my hair cut with Ryan and I love it. Recommend it to anyone looking for a dapper haircut.

Juan Martinez

I've been coming here for the past three almost 4 years and I just simply love them. Every single one of them has their own style of cutting hair and ultimately leave you with he perfect hairstyle/cut. And that is simply because they listen to what you want done. I don't go anywhere else, even if my hair is looking a hot mess and needing a cut asap. I wait until I have time to go to GBS!!!

Andrew Gutowski

Had many bad haircuts while searching for a good barbershop. Have been going to Garret's for years and it's the only place I will go when visiting from CA. They use classic and current techniques. Professional and stylish cuts at a reasonable rate.

Daniel Smith

Very fortunate to be a customer at this barber shop. You know it is a great shop when you want everyone you know to give this place a try. The best cut for your buck is right here.

Yuri Branzburg

I highly recommend not going here. The owner Garrett is arrogant, and rude to customers. Don't be surprised if you stop by to find the door unlocked and the open sign still displayed only to get turned away like you've just broken in. Much higher quality haircuts available at New In Town Cuts (Newington) and Finesse Cuts (Middletown).

Kristian Kohler

Mike W is great!

Wayne Hannen

Always a great cut!

Jordan Lynn

The only place I'll get my hair cut. Great atmosphere, even greater talent working there.

John Murray

Only place that I will go to have my hair cut. I feel like I'm a part of the family here!

John Opalenik

Garrett's Barber Shop is by far the best barbershop I've tried. They have a clean and inviting atmosphere, good music (that isn't too loud or overpowering), reasonable prices, and most importantly a staff of talented and capable barbers. For a while I just went with whichever barber was available, but eventually ended up sticking with Shannon because she gives great haircuts, understands what I mean when I describe what I want, and gives fantastic advice on styling products/techniques without making it feel like a "to-do" list. I highly recommend Garrett's Barber Shop to anyone in the central Connecticut area.

Mike Reid

Good haircuts

Andrew Love

Excellent service with attention to detail and quality. Not rushed. Clean, friendly, comfortable environment.

Mr. G

Cool vibe, awesome ???? Barber. By appointment only for a reason... Garrett runs a top notch establishment. Easy and free parking.

Jeffrey Rodriguez

Walked in without an appointment. Didn't have to wait. Great Service. Good Price.

Joe Coppola

I've been getting my haircut here for a few years now. The staff is friendly, shop is kept clean, free WiFi. Squareup for appointments is rock solid and there's never an issue. Danielle is wonderful and always cuts my hair perfectly!

Craig Rydecki

Very friendly, Corey is amazing.

Jaime

Donna Rodriguez

Robert

Great place. Great haircut.

D Nice

Cuts by appointment. Very fancy here

Austin Barnett

I've been here a total of 2 times while living in Connecticut, and the atmosphere is great don't get me wrong. But the same guy has cut my hair both times and when I leave always regret spending the amount of money I did. If you get the right barber I guess you're good to go, but the barber I get is not great.

Joseph Peevyhouse

Best barbershop I've been to in Connecticut. Appt only so no wait times. Staff is courteous, trained, and listen to your wants and needs while making recommendations if asked on cuts, styling, or product. Highly recommend Corey Hoffman if you are looking for a new barber!

Matthew Martin

Great quality haircut for a great price. A lot of attention is given to each haircut, which is greatly appreciated. Please be aware that there is scheduling here, so if you are a walk-in, you could be waiting a while. Would highly recommend.

Katelyn Zea

My husband has been going to see Corey for a while and has always been so happy with his hair cut and beard trim. 5 stars for that. But this review is really about how Corey took care of my 2 year old son today. For my son's precious 3 haircuts, we went to one of those kid specific hair cut places and my son has always had a meltdown. We figured we'd give Daddy's barber a try. Corey was fantastic. My son was happy throughout the whole haircut and is so proud of it! So, not only does Corey do great haircuts (for all ages) and beard trims, but he handles stubborn, tantrum-prone toddlers with ease! Thank you so much!

Chris Kiley

Absolutely love this place! I went on a Tuesday mid-afternoon and was helped with no wait. I was preparing to wait for a while because I heard this place was popular but they were able to take me right away! This is a hip place with style and I love everything from the empty whiskey bottles that they use to dispose of old razors to the mirrors with stickers on the back. This is a place with personality. I love the haircut I got and got my beard trimmed up nicely too (Thanks Shannon!). I feel like this is the type of place that turns people into regulars after their first visit. I will definitely be returning!

Jacob Veilleux

My experience here is with Mike Weinstein. Mike is a top-tier barber who possesses all the qualities of a true professional. He takes his time, listens to what you want, and consistently delivers an immaculate cut. The shop is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and I always look forward to my visits here.

Ryan Betas

Made a 2 o'clock appointment, got there 10 minutes early. About five other customers arrived after me. No one asked if I had made an appointment. Every single person that arrived after me was seen before me. I sat down at 1:50pm, I walked out at 2:30pm. No-one spoke too me. I will not be returning.

Gustavo Angulo

Very professional and a great haircut. The ambience is great and all the employees look like they care about what they do. Additionally the model of having one barber constantly doing walk-ins is great, they were fully booked yet I still got a haircut without a long wait. Would recommend, and I'll tell my dad to start coming here since he's been looking for something like this.

Manuel Fuentes

Comfortable setting and everyone seems to do good work

david zayas

Great place the barbers are amazing there was happy to find them . My some wanted a hair style and they made it happen . Mike thank you again made my son so happy with the haircut definitely made a new customer

mutualexcrement

Really cool place, great atmosphere, and they are following the COVID restrictions which made me feel comfortable. Had a great chat with Nate, haven't been to a Barber in 7 years so this was a great place to get back into it. Thanks

Yasir

Garrett's is an excellent barber shop with a lot of talented people working there! I've been going since I was a kid and had the opportunity to get my hair cut by Garrett himself. My only issue is the price is a little high but you always end up with a great haircut!

duvan quintero

Fantastic, honest, fair priced. Nate does a great job and pays attention to detail.

David Geer

Get a great look and what you need for so much less with a blended casual/gentleman atmosphere to boot. Ive gotten my beard/haircut done at art of shaving a few times before for special occasions. Whole 9 yards treatments but the bill to match. I've gotten two excellent trims/cuts so far with everything I wanted and nothing I didn't for less than 1 trip to AoS. I'm going to Garrett's now.

Sam Davis

Garret’s came highly recommend by a friend, I chose to get a cut and shave there the day before my wedding. The atmosphere is awesome, great music, and the chairs are super comfortable. Corey did an amazing job, he spent an hour an half on me making sure everything was perfect for my big day! As a first time customer I was blown away by the service of this place. I’ve never looked so good, nor had such a great experience with a barbershop. I will be back for sure!

Christopher Poudrette

This seems like a nice place to get a haircut if you become a regular. I had a single hair cut here and had to come in on one of their non-appointment days, because they were booked up for the next several weeks. I mean, good for them for getting that much business, but it was really convenient for me. I waited for over 45 minutes, though the haircut itself was very nice, and the price seemed reasonable for what you got, but it might be a bit much for your average Joe.

Michael Gerhart

A thoroughly modern barbershop, but with classic barbershop vibe, and a touch of hipster. A fun, light, eclectic atmosphere, with people who know how to cut hair.

brei mascola

This place is awesome... Great fades and awesome conversation

Andrew Guthrie

This place is great. Garrett, Elias, and Danielle take pride in their work. I go 20 minutes out of my way to enjoy their services, conversation, decor, music selection, and overall knowledge. A professional shave is a lost art that they've perfected. I always enjoy my visits.

Joey DeCrescenzo

If you want go make your life better than go here and get your hair trimmed. If you don't then just live your pitiful little life and stop reading this review. Ask the important questions like how can I shave more efficiency and why does my hair look stupid and they will answer and make your life better. Go here, look good.

Bob Smith

Yesterday I had my second haircut from John at Garrett's. I have never had so many compliments about a haircut as I did about this one. I am in my 60's and so when I'm told I look five years younger, that is saying something. I hesitate to recommend John however as I don't want him getting busier as it will make it harder to get an appointment!

Binly Siri

Best barbershop and crew CT can ask for. Might sound bias but that's the reason I've been coming back specifically to Ryan for all these years. If you're looking to get a fresh haircut and look cleaner than you've ever did before walking in, do yourself a favor and book yourself an appointment at Garrett's.

Mark Sullivan

Greg was my barber on a walk in last Thursday. He was great and for once my family was happy with the cut. I hope to be a customer for years to come.

Matt Vaudreuil

Highly recommend. Have been going to Mike for about 8 months now, we've been working on growing it out and finally got to do the undercut. It's the best my hair has ever looked in my life. You're the man, Mike!

N T

Excellent service. Great Cut, Shave, Trim, every time!

Jon Ambler

Walk in or make an appt. Always does a good job. Takes the time to get ur hair done right. Walk in sometime can have a bit of wait depending on how many people got there before you.

Ivan Dushchenko

I have been looking for a place to get my hair cuts for a very long time. Been to many different barber shops. This is by far the best. I get mine done by Greg, if he is not available than the owner. Could not be more happy, I can finally stop switching from place to place.

Ben Ogle

I think all the barbers are too notch, but Corey does a great job! He'll give you a great cut that fits your head/hair type everytime

Michael Zachary

I’ve been looking for a good barber for a while now. I was encouraged that this place is by appointment only. Figured they were going to be on their game. Made an appointment, and waited. Four days later, on the day of my appointment, my appointment was canceled, and I received an apology email stating that the barber I was scheduled with had something come up, and wasn’t working that day. No worries, things happen. Made a second appointment for four days later, which was today. Walked in, five minutes early. One of the barbers said hello, and that was it. Sat there for 15 minutes, and no one else so much as greeted me, told me that I was next, asked me if I had an appointment, nothing. In summary, my first appointment was canceled, and my second appointment was 15+ minutes late before I just left. By the way, no one asked me where I was going, nothing. This is unacceptable for a place that is by appointment only. They make such a big deal about their cancellation/no show policy, I thought for sure this would be a minimum wait. Sure was disappointed. The quest for a good barber continues.

Frank Smith

This review is of a particular barber that works at Garrett's. Went here twice before and received wonderful service. The first time I received a great cut from a barber that does not work there anymore. The second time my experience was similar as the same barber cut my hair. So I figured the third time would be the same. However, I was terribly wrong. A barber by the name of Jon butchered my hair. He is a very unexperienced barber, who did a subpar job listening to my inquiry. I asked for him to fade my hair starting from 1.5 to .5 and he agreed to do so. From the moment he started cutting my hair I knew he was doing it wrong but it was far too late to stop him. A few minutes later he showed me my hair cut all around 1.5! He had not idea what a fade was in the first place.... ( like seriously) I look awful now and am very upset. I was so upset that I nearly walked out halfway through the hair cut. In addition, this dude put a pair of clippers to the top of my long beautiful hair and chopped off too much hair accidentally then tried to salvage the hair cut by cutting off, even more hair (complete mess). This is by far the worst haircut I have ever received in my life and when I was younger my mom cut my hair.... (says a lot). This barber does not meet the standards of other barbers that work at Garrett's and should return to barber school in order to learn the basics of hair cuttery. He might have had a bad day because he was sick and constantly sneezing and coughing, however, that just shows his lack of professionalism from not staying home. Just because he was having a bad day doesn't mean that he should ruin the next two weeks of my life because now I have to walk around with this garbage haircut on my head for two weeks. Even though there may be other good barbers at this shop, I will never be coming back again and will never recommend this place to anyone.

Adam Zezima

Had an awesome experience today with Corey. Everyone in the place is great, I've been going to Garrett's for years and I've always had nothing but great experiences.

Emily’s World

I went there with my son because it seems to be a cool barbershop. the guy on the first chair told me that some one would take us shortly, then 3 barbers finished and no one acknowledged me and my son at all, then one of the barbers took a gentlemen that came in way after us "also as of walking just like us". after wating for a while I decided to leave.

Chris Lastrina

Great barbers, excellent atmosphere! Never left feeling less than amazing!

Ragnar L

Best haircut you'll ever get

Keith Dumont

Over priced for a simple cut.

Nicholas Stergakis

I’ve been coming here for months now, and no matter who I see, I always leave with an amazing haircut! Will always keep coming back!!

Michael Glazier

A very relaxed atmosphere wit a group of the best guys and girls who are experts at what they do. A great place to get a stylish cut or just to hang out and enjoy the company.

Craig Winans

I had Garret and Corey come out the day of the wedding to cut my groomsmen's hair, as well as mine and they killed it! They not only made us look great but created a fun atmosphere that really set the tone for the day. Thank you Garret and Corey!

Brian Melluzzo

Friendly staff. Clean professional haircut

Hamza Sultan

Great place for a haircut. The shop itself is very refined in terms of style and ambience. Staff is excellent. Highly recommend.

Matt P

The only negative reviews of this barbershop are people whining about how hard it is to get in. Really, doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about the quality of their service? Demand is high for a reason. The barbers here know their trade, and the atmosphere is classic and comfortable. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment.

ugo digrazia

Referred by my spikey styling cousin, whose hair is always amazing, I figured this place has to be great. I was a walk-in, so I waited my turn and then was called up next by a barber named Jon. He understood what I wanted, suggested some great ideas and went at it like Mr.Scissorhands. was amazing to watch him work and when he was done, I couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you Jon.

Juan RODRIGUEZ

Good service.

Michael Santanelli

Best barbershop I have ever been too. All talented barbers.

Michael Gandelman

Great haircuts that are difficult to find

Matt Baransky

Made an appointment for 2 pm and waited until 245 before I was even talked to also no reason of why I had to wait so long or a Message to let me know I would have to wait an hour after my appointment start time to get seen. I don’t know if it was because appointments ran over or what.

Matjusz

Over priced for the service recived.

Edward Saundry

Great local barber shop!

Meal Ticket

Always great for years and years.

NFN

The only barber shop I've had an extraordinary experience every time. Prices are more than reasonable for the quality and atmosphere. Garrett and the whole team put a great emphasis on making sure every customer is satisfied and comfortable from the second they walk in the door to when they walk out. If you're looking for a shop that delivers awesome results every single time, this is the one. Check out their hair products too, Founders pomade is the only product I've used that can hold my hair without leaving me looking like a a shiny porcupine.
