Hey guys, where do you go when your hair starts to look sloppy? Do you make an appointment at a frou-frou hair stylist?

Growing up -- when I actually had hair -- my mom didn't believe in barbers, because she thought she could do as good a job as a barber. If you glanced at my hair after a mom cut, you would probably double over laughing. There would be too much off the top that didn't match the sides, a gouge here and a nick there. Put bluntly, her haircuts were horrible, God rest her soul. It's good to know that old fashioned barber shops still exist all over the country. Here's a short list of six quality barbershops in the greater Danbury area.

  • CT's Finest Barbershop

    Padanaram Rd. - Danbury

    CT's Finest Barbershop is located at 5 Padanaram Rd. in Danbury across the street from Elmer's Diner. Yelp.com gave CT's Finest a 4.5/5 review. Call 203-798-0666. No appointments needed, and cash only.

  • Dave's Barbershop

    Newtown Rd. - Danbury

    Dave's Barbershop is located at 70 Newtown Rd. in Danbury and gets rave reviews from Yelp.com. Appointments not needed but call 203-456-4535 for more info. Cash only.

  • Robert's Barbershop

    Mill Plain Rd. - Danbury

    Robert's Barbershop set up business in New Fairfield after moving from Yonkers. After 21 years of cutting hair in New Fairfield they chose to move to 18 Mill Plain Rd. in Danbury, right next to Mima's Meatballs and More. When I had hair, Robert was my guy! Go there, you'll like it! Trust me on this, and tell him Ethan sent you.
