Designed for Families Managing Care

We speak your language —
whoever you are in this.

👩‍💼

The Adult Daughter Managing Everything

You're coordinating doctors, medications, grocery runs, and emotional support — from across town or across the country. Grooming is one more thing you can't always get to. We make it zero effort.

"I set it up once and haven't had to think about it since."

👨‍💼

The Son Balancing Work and Appointments

You want to make sure dad is taken care of and looks like himself — but coordinating another appointment around your schedule isn't always realistic. We're the one thing you can delegate completely.

"That peace of mind is worth everything." — Jason K., POA

💑

The Spouse Who Is Also the Caregiver

You're doing more than anyone sees. A barber at the door means one less thing on your plate — and one more moment of joy for your husband. Watching him smile in the mirror afterward makes it all worth it.

"Watching him smile — it's priceless." — Margaret D.

🏥

The CNA or Care Coordinator

You know how important grooming is to your residents' dignity and mental health. We're easy to work with, fully licensed, and equipped to serve clients in any facility setting in Fairfield County.

Before → Visit → Family Reaction

From months without a haircut to smiling in the mirror.

Before
Months without a cut. Son afraid to push dad to leave the house.
The Visit
Barber arrived on time. 45 minutes. Trim and shave. Dad joked the whole time.
After
"He looked in the mirror and said he felt like himself again."
"Having someone come to the house, treat my dad with such dignity, and give him a great cut without us needing to leave home was such a gift. The professionalism and kindness made all the difference."

From Our Founder

“My grandfather, Joe Iannucci of Bridgeport — a barber for over 50 years at his shop, The Friendly Barber on the East Side of Bridgeport — used to visit his sick clients in the hospital because he believed they still deserved to look their best. That’s where this business was born.”

I grew up watching Joe do something simple and profound: he showed up for people when they couldn’t come to him. From the day he opened The Friendly Barber in 1965, he never thought twice about it. When his clients got sick, he packed his bag and went to them — because a man’s dignity doesn’t stop at the hospital door. That lesson never left me.

Over a decade ago, I started Doorbell Barbers to carry that same idea forward. As an Eagle Scout and lifelong Connecticut resident, service isn't a brand value to me — it's a family inheritance from a Bridgeport barber who spent 50 years proving it. Every visit we make is a continuation of what he started.

Christian I. Founder & Eagle Scout · Carrying on the legacy of Joe Iannucci — The Friendly Barber, Bridgeport CT, Est. 1965

More than a haircut.
A trusted presence.

Anyone can cut hair. Not everyone is trained to work patiently with seniors who have Parkinson's, dementia, or mobility challenges — and not everyone treats your parent like a person who deserves a genuinely good experience, not just a quick clip.

Common Questions

Answers for families who want to get it right.

This is one of our core specialties. Our barbers are experienced working with clients who have tremors, rigidity, or involuntary movement. We take our time, communicate throughout, and adapt the service. We never rush a Parkinson's appointment. See our dedicated Parkinson's Care Comfort Package ($125 one-time / $105 monthly).

Yes — and we do it regularly. We work with facilities throughout Fairfield County and are familiar with sign-in procedures and visitor protocols. Just let us know the facility name and we'll handle the logistics.

We do our best to match the same barber for recurring clients — especially on our Monthly Dignity Plan and Bi-Weekly Care Program. Consistency matters, particularly for clients with dementia or anxiety. Request your preferred barber when booking.

Gratuity is not included but is always appreciated. Your barber works hard to provide a genuinely great experience. Tips can be given in cash at the time of service. Any amount is gratefully received.
