Erik Sanchez. The chair people drive an hour for.
Erik runs the shop and cuts every day. Regulars have followed him since 2009, and now plenty of them bring their sons. He listens first, asks questions while he works, and doesn't let you leave until the lines are right.
“To let you know how great he is; I travel over an hour just to sit in his chair! Best barber in the state!”Erica, verified Booksy review

Erik has been my barber for years through all my different phases of haircuts from high top fades, to dark Cesar’s, to designs all over, down to a skin fade. He never disappoints and always get my cut perfect no matter which direction I decide to go. To let you know how great he is; I travel over an hour just to sit in his chair! Best barber in the state!

I’ve been seeing Eric for at least 10 years now. I’ve never went to see any other barber because Eric is incredible at cutting hair and shaping your beard up.

Fantastic results. Erik’s vision on what kind of haircut I was going for was fantastic. Thrilled with experience. Hot towel was a very good addition.

Recently my wife and I moved to CT from NYC and changing barbers for some, really most people is a difficult process. You need to find the right one that will get your style 100% of the time. Erik is that barber for me! Using the Booksy app is just a bonus of not waiting to long for him. His team of professional barbers take their time and always make you feel welcome in the shop. Thanks Erik!

It was my first time Very professional and gifted. He listened to what I wanted done, and I'm very picked particular but I felt very comfortable bc he was asking questions as he's going to make sure we were on the same page. He also did this with my 5 yr old son, and he made him so at ease and he was very pleased w his haircut also. Not only are we going back for sure but I'm telling all my friends. And he also speaks Spanish. I highly recommend you go make an appt now

One of the best cuts I’ve gotten! Texture of fade was exactly how I wanted and I am a picky dude. Erik is the new plug for my cuts. Highly recommend!

Flew all the way from Colombia & even chose to live here as my new home because of E’s haircuts 🔥🔥🔥 (prom’s right around the corner, don’t make the same mistake I did! Book early or you’ll regret it) The Best to do it 🙏🏼💈
For the little ones
First haircut? No tears.
Kids' cuts are $30 and booked for 30 minutes. Parents bring toddlers in for their very first cut, and those kids keep coming back for school cuts, designs and prom.

I’ve seen many kids cry sitting in a barbers chair receiving their first haircut. I wanted my 2 year old son to have a positive experience being that this was his first time in a barber shop. I must say my son didn’t even flinch or shed a tear. Erik did an awesome job you’ve gained a customer.

Erik was amazing! He was so patient with my almost 2 year old who cried the entire time. The haircut was perfect! We will be back! We found our son a barber 😊

My son loves going to E & M Barbershop he finds them to be the best! No other shop cuts his hair the way he likes it he’s comfortable and it’s a safe space to be in. Everyone is great. My husband loves taking him there too.
