Nestled in the heart of South Glastonbury, Presidents is more than just a barber shop—it’s a curated experience. Founded by award-winning master barber Carlos Adolfo, famously known as Beardgang President, this space combines over a decade of elite craftsmanship with a speakeasy-inspired aesthetic that exudes refinement.

Every detail at Presidents is intentional—from the precision of each cut to the quality of conversation. The atmosphere is tailored to feel personal, elevated, and timeless, offering more than grooming—it offers a sense of distinction.

At Presidents, tradition meets individuality. Here, your style isn’t just maintained—it’s defined. Distinguished. Effortless. And always presidential.

My barbering journey officially began in 2012, but the passion was sparked long before that. I was just 11 when I got my first real fade at my local barbershop, Sonny’s in East Hartford, CT. That one experience showed me the confidence a fresh cut could bring, and Sonny quickly became a major inspiration.

Not long after, I moved from Connecticut to Tennessee, and that’s when I realized just how special the beauty industry is back home. It gave me a new appreciation for the quality and culture of Connecticut barbers. By age 12, I had already started cutting other people’s hair, and by 2005 I was back in CT, cutting hair throughout high school, driven by the feeling that started with that first fade.

From there, I started working in local barbershops, steadily building my clientele and refining my craft. I opened a small studio barbershop with the vision of creating something different, something personal. That vision evolved into a full, exclusive experience in South Glastonbury: a premium "presidential" grooming environment where clients feel respected, relaxed, and confident.

Now, as the owner of a multi-chair barbershop, I’m proud to offer more than just haircuts. We offer the experience I always searched for, ever since that first fade in 2001.
