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."
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
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.

A Family Story

"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."Lauren M., Daughter & Caregiver — Westport, CT
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.
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.
Parkinson's, post-stroke, ALS, dementia, hospice — we've built our entire approach around clients who need more care, more patience, and more skill than a regular barbershop can offer.
We ask how he likes his hair and do it exactly that way — taking all the time it requires, because he deserves to look like himself.
We serve clients in homes, assisted living, memory care, and hospital rooms across Fairfield County.
Set it up once and we handle the reminders. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Over 80,000 Connecticut families. We've been doing this long enough to get it right every time.
