After years of searching for a reliable, good barber I found one. Great location and the online options for booking and paying for appointments make it so easy to set up. No guess work on what services cost because it's all set before you walk in. Not to mention never leaving with a bad cut, shape up or beard trim. Great place, great systems in place and great barbers.read more

Paul not only gave me quite possibly the best haircut I’ve ever received. He was possibly the nicest most down to earth dude I’ve talked to while getting my haircut. He was calm, professional, and took his time with every inch of my hair and beard. Beard trim was beyond exceptional, most spots don’t get it right. This man got it right right away. Everyone in the shop was extremely nice and hospitable. They even squeezed me in despite me not making an appointment. Hands down found my new spot in town. And my new barber Paul is hands down who I’m gonna hit up every time. Thank you guys again for the beyond great experience.read more

This place is awesome and will be the best haircut you can ever get. Pauly is an absolute wiz and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He literally opened the shop when they were closed just so I could get a haircut. My barber for life now. Definitely get a haircut here by Pauly, you won't regret it.read more

Anybody who gives this place less than 5 stars is a straight hater. Place is extremely professional and clean and the service is always 10/10. The barbers here take their time with you and give you exactly what you want. Been going here for 2-3 years and will continue to! Thank you guys!read more

They’re conveniently located, parking is never too hard to find and appointments can be easily made on their app. No wait.Their app requires payment to confirm the barber and time slot. Not tipping or tipping low BEFORE your haircut in my experience made the barber passive aggressive and reduced the quality of haircuts going forward. Logic is do what we pay $50+ for and gratuity is added after for great service.I recommend calling in appointments to avoid this issue. Give them a try if you’re a busy person and don’t have time to wait in a packed shop. I rather go somewhere else and not get chip’d up by an unprofessional barber.read more

Just went to the Grooming Cove for my first haircut at this shop. I needed to switch things up from the usual haircutters out there. Setting up the appointment online was simple. I arrived early for my appointment with Noel, and when I left, it was 5 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. (they work fast but thorough)The guys there are great. The shop was clean and bright. Noel was friendly and helpful and understanding of me being unsure of what I wanted in a haircut.I decided to go #1 over everything with a fade. Noel was able to adjust my services to include a beard and mustache trim.I will be returning once I'm due for my next haircut. Great placeread more

I have twin 10 year olds and we’ve been going to grooming cove for two years now! We’ve used all the barbers at the store because I’m not great at scheduling- but we try and use Damian - he has related with my boys and listens to what they want and like - he’s patient and particular! And one bonus they play great music!read more

When I moved to the area four years ago I dreaded having to find a new barber. As someone who is very picky about my hair and beard, I struggled finding a shop I liked throughout the Jersey/NYC area. But I’m so glad I found this place. This is the best shop I’ve ever been too, with a good atmosphere and easily bookable appointments that are always on time. Damian has been doing my cut for a few years now and he deserves his master barber title. I always get a skin fade with a cut on top, with a beard shape up and it ALWAYS comes out better than any other barber I’ve ever been to. The other barbers in the shop are always friendly and seem to give great cuts as well. I HIGHLY recommend this place and Damian. 10/10read more

3 years in Secaucus 3 years at The Grooming Cove! I’d say the only clean cut, crisp & sharp barber shop in town! Me & my son see them every 45 days - everybody there is great - Wilson, Damian, Ruben - they are all master artists.But special mention about Ruben - who has been doing our hair since 3 years now. Patient, skilled & multi talented. I’ve received work out tips from him - he is a bike fanatic & even a writer! More importantly makes an ugly duckling like me presentable! 💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥read more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I brought my son in for a haircut and Kevin did an amazing job. The attention to detail, the clean fade, and the way he took his time really stood out. My son felt comfortable the whole time and left the chair looking fresh and confident. It’s not easy finding a barber who’s both skilled and patient, but Kevin nailed it. Highly recommend!read more

I've had the pleasure of having Kevin cut my hair multiple times at The Grooming Cove. Not only is he very skilled at his craft, he always puts the customer first and does everything he can to ensure you leave the shop satisfied. He is very accommodating and brings a great vibe to shop, it feels like I've been talking to a friend I've known for years. I highly recommend him and all of the barbers here, they are the best spot in the area!read more

Please go to my man Reuben. He’s been cutting my hair for the past 2 years and NEVER disappoints. Understands what the client needs and he always asks! Been around Secaucus for 20+ years and Reuben along with grooming cove should be everyone’s go-to. Plus, making an appointment takes 2 seconds…. literally. Do yourself a favor and see them asap.read more

Rueben is a master of his craft. If you want a barber who actually gives a damn, go see Rueben. His fades are surgical, and his attention to detail is unmatched.​What really sets him apart is his memory; he remembers exactly how you like your hair, but always takes the courtesy to ask, 'What are we doing today?' He can pick up conversations right where you left off weeks ago. Friendly, professional, and easily the best barber in the city. Don’t sleep on booking a chair with him.read more

It’s not often that I feel compelled to write a review, but this experience truly deserves one. As a parent of an autistic five-year-old, haircuts can be a challenge for us. We visited this shop for the first time last night, and I was incredibly impressed with Damien’s skill and professionalism.Before getting started, Damien took the time to walk me through the entire process. He explained the haircut, how he uses the clippers, and what to expect—something I really appreciated. His patience and expertise immediately put both my son and me at ease.I’m extremely happy with the haircut, and most importantly, my son felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. It was not only smooth and efficient, but actually enjoyable—something we don’t often get to say about haircuts.The shop was also clean and had a calm, non-overstimulating environment, which made a big difference for us.Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. We’re so grateful to have found such a talented and understanding barber.Thank you, Damien!read more
