First rate operation in every respect!You come for a haircut, but they offer a great experience in a very warm and welcoming environment. A LOT of care was put into the ambiance and decor, along with complimentary tea/coffee/cookies.This was my second visit and I know where I'm going from now on. My cut with Milly was great and she took her time and really knows what she's doing.Thank you Downtown Barber!read more

The owner of the shop April is a first rate person, and barber. She is pleasant, and cuts my hair the way I want it. She also engages you in conversion that is pleasant and makes the time pass so quickly that you lose track of time. GREAT PLACE!!!read more

Actually went to the barbershop before them while I was in college and when I got back he was gone. Started going to downtown barber and they give the best haircuts I've ever gotten. I use all the hair stylists so I can't recommend just one, but they all do a fantastic job.Edit: Not only do they do an amazing job but in these terrible times they take the safety of their barbers and clients very seriously. If I could give more stars I would.read more

Just back from my first haircut since the shutdown. I can't say enough about how you've adapted to the new reality. Felt totally safe and very comfortable. The shop is very clean and the precautions you all are taking, right down to the clean towel in place of the "powder brush" are fantastic. You and your husband and your staff deserve a lot of credit. See you in a month!read more

I went to Downtown Barber and I had an amazing experience. The staff were very friendly and inviting and I love the classic barbershop theme they have.

I will definitely be returning here for my next haircut!read more

One of the cleanest, most well organized barber shops I have ever been to. The level of professionalism is unmatched, I get my hair cut by Breanne and it always comes out amazing. I go from looking homeless to looking like a business executive in no time flat. Being the picky person that i am, i can honestly say that Downtown Barber is going to be my forever barber shop. Breanne gets an A+ in my book!read more

My grandson was very happy with the service. They listen to him (he is about to turn13) so he likes that they talk to him and ask his opinion on the cut.

I took my 15 month old son here for his very first haircut. And of course it was a bit of an adventure. Elvin was AMAZING with him (my son cried and pushed away his hands a bit) and he was professional and extremely friendly the whole time. The whole crew was very sweet with my boy while he was a bit upset. The outcome was great. His new little look was so cute. And they gave him a certificate! read more

I followed my barber (Debi) here from a shop that I hated but kept going to so that she could cut my hair. I think it was a blessing in disguise for both of us. She's since moved on, but I stayed with Breanne - who's amazing. April and Nat run a great shop - it's warm and welcoming, always ridiculously clean, stocked with snacks for kids and adults - and they give great haircuts. Every barber's chair is occupied when I'm there. They're always busy, which obviously says something about them too. While getting your haircut, you can be treated to comical banter, serenading to whatever song is playing and/or countless good stories from all walks of life. It truly is a great place to get a quality haircut and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone in the area.read more

According to the website I’ve had 40 haircuts from downtown barber. So that should tell you how great of an establishment it is. Every stylist is not only talented but has a great personality. Eve if there are long gaps between visits, they know me by name and treat me like family. I can’t imagine getting my haircut anywhere else.read more

I have been a customer of Breanne for 14 years. Why do I keep on coming back? Breanne is a terrific hairstylist. If she can make me look good, then she is not only terrific but also a magician. Seriously, people compliment me on my haircut. And I have referred many people to Breanne who now use her. In addition, the atmosphere at Downtown Barbers is friendly and comfortable. You owe it to yourself to give her a try.read more

I have been going here for years now and I always get a great haircut 100% of the time. April is so easy to work with, sometimes we just do a "typical" haircut other times I will ask for something different like a crewcut and she always delivers quality. Eventually I will move to Florida and honestly I have thought about coming back up to NJ just for her to cut my hair as once you find someone who does such a great job, you just don't want to let them go. Until that day comes, I know she will provide me with the best service one can ask for. You must come here if you want to get the best haircut.read more
