Old Lyme Barber Shop

I was sort of skeptical when I first walked in, but this guy hands down gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I'm 30 and I've been self-conscious about my receeding hairline these last few years, but I walked out with a haircut that made me feel younger and way more attractive. It's been about two weeks since the haircut and I still think it looks great! I wish I had switched to this barber years ago.

DO NOT go to this barber. The shop is a complete mess and you will be belittled and patronized for the smallest requests. I asked for a trim and a shape up and I received a dry, uneven, sub-par hair cut. If you go to this barber shop for the first time, I advise you arrive with highly-detailed written instructions of how you want your hair done otherwise you are better off shaving your own head.

Went for the first time today. Incredible haircut in addition to being a great conversation and peaceful area. Couldn’t sing louder praises!!

John, the barber, is the third generation barber in this location. Both my father and I enjoyed and enjoy, respectively John's knowledge of the local political scene and a fine and inexpensive haircut. John is closed on Wednesdays.

John does a wonderful job. For 88 years he and his father have cut hair. What a treasure John and this shop are!
