I had a big event coming up on the weekend and needed a fresh haircut and beard trim. Carmela did a fantastic job and was checking the whole time to make sure I was comfortable and aware of the options and methods. Highly recommended.

I read the bad review for this place and thought it was probably an anomaly. Because there were so many good reviews that one bad review must be a mistake. It wasn't a mistake. Probably the most unfriendly barber shop I have ever been to in the USA and overseas. I was a walk in and there was only one customer getting his hair cut by a man named Peter. I just sat down. Nobody acknowledged me. Nobody said hello. I was just totally ignored. Then I remembered the same thing happened to the other customer who wrote the one star review. Peter and his customer were chatting up a storm. Talking about how nice the Fall weather is and basic chit chat that you would expect at a salon. Meanwhile I am just sitting there. Like I am invisible. Ten minutes go by. As he finished up with his client I thought that he would finally say something to me. No. He just went to the toilet. Then after his client left he went in the back and disappeared. Luckily a woman popped out. She asked if I had an appointment. I didn't. Don't know many people that actually book appointments for a barbershop since traditionally it's a walk in style business, not a salon. She had a customer scheduled but said she would service me afterwards. She was true to her word. She was friendly. While she was cutting her clients hair, Peter was chatting him up. They both were talking to this guy. I was just like an invisible insect not even worth looking at let alone speaking to. Pretty insane. I will never go back there. It's also expensive. $28 for a five minute haircut. I am mostly bald. So with tip we are at $34. I can go to a salon and get a full service treatment plus kindness. This was an awful experience. Never seen such rude and arrogant behavior. Avoid this place.

This is a great old style barbershop but hip to current styling including fades. Carmela cut my hair and was very meticulous about getting it right and checking with me along the way while she explained what she was doing. I was extremely pleased with my hair cut. Highly recommend this place!

Carmela is my barber. I've been going to her for my cut, beard trim and shave. She's the best. All employees are friendly, great atmosphere and there's always a good movie on.

Janette did a phenomenal job. She is a very nice woman who will do exactly as you want the haircut to look like. Fade was extra clean. Highly recommend this place and Janette specifically.

As a lifetime patron of the “Great Clips” of the world, and then a year of cutting my own hair due to the pandemic, I thought I’d treat myself to a barbershop ahead of my nephews Confirmation. I chose Main Street on a whim, from the six others just in the downtown area alone. What a great experience! Carmella was helpful in figuring out the best cut to work with my thinning hair. I can actually go out without a hat now. I will be returning.

Found this Italian charm by accident and never left their service since. Peter is highly skilled with trimming beards and brought me exactly where I wanted it to be. Also that atmosphere there is experience that is highly recommended. Make your appointment and savor your journey. Their team is offering haircuts, beard trimmings and much more. Go and be ready to laugh a lot!

My son and I have been coming here for 8 yrs and we absolutely love the shops attention to detail. Aside from the awesome cuts by everyone, the owner Gina really goes out of her way to make customers feel welcome. She provides coffee and gourmet donuts and coffee cake on weekends for you while you wait. The staff here are very engaging and love to chat while they make you look your best. My son always has a great cut from Laura. I recently tried Peter their new barber and he is fantastic. Make your appointments and give them a try. Dont forget to ask for a punch card. You will be back!
