We recently moved to the area and was in Cranford and decided to explore downtown bit. We passed by…read moreand I had been debating on a place to get my kids' hair cut and I saw how busy this place was... out of the 8 barbers (don't quote me on that number), all were filled and three were kids. I ultimately went in but everyone was so busy. Eventually, a lady came up to me. The place is conveniently located near the Cranford train station and across the street from a macaron place. There are benches outside for those waiting as well as one inside by the small cash register. They do appointments BUT she said they might have an opening for me in about 20 minutes. I accepted, was added to the list, and my son ended up getting his hair cut within 10 minutes. Not bad! I'm sure it was just luck though. I'm not sure what the barber's name was but he was pretty good! I don't know much about hair cuts when he started asking me about numbers and such for how short, but I ultimately told him shorter on the sides and half as short on top. The place is a bit small and with every chair full, not much room to stand, so I waited on a bench but I caught glimpses. I don't think anyone in the family has had such a thorough job done on their hair. The cut took just about THIRTY minutes for my 4 year old. He took his time and was meticulous, putting in the fine touches and applying what looked like 20 (maybe closer to 5) hair products. When he was released, my son looked quite sharp and smelled so nice! And his longer hairs were coiffed up in a way I have no clue how to even replicate it. I don't mind spending money if needed, but I admit I've never quite spent that much money on my own hair before. You pay at the cash register ($35 for a kids' cut) and I sent my kid with cash tip to his barber. I thought my husband was going to have some choice words about it, but he was also impressed with the cut and the fact that nothing was rushed. This place is legit and the two people I spoke with were nice! Our barber wasn't the chattiest only asking what was necessary, but I didn't get an off vibe from him. He humored my daughter who did stay inside by "giving" her hair clippings when he noticed she was trying to collect them. Overall, an excellent experience. Now I still have to find a hair place for my daughter and myself and it's turn for our cuts, but at least we discovered this one!

However, after today's experience, I will no longer be a returning customer. Despite the excellence in service, waiting over an hour when there are only two people ahead is unacceptable. I reserved an appointment at 12:30pm it is now 2pm and I have yet to be seen. I would much rather invest my time and money where I am valued as a customer.

A basic haircut costs $18, which is a great price. Btw, they don't accept credit so make sure to bring cash with you, otherwise you can just run next door the the sandwich shop and use the ATM there. In terms of the wait, it's a bit unpredictable. I've had many times when I was able to just walk in through the doors and get my hair cut immediately, but other times have had to wait upwards of 30 minutes. I don't believe they take appointments either. A lot of the other reviews complain about the barbers talking to one another while providing a haircut. I understand that to a certain extent, but these guys are having a great time doing what they love and it shows and adds to the positive environment of their business. It's just part of the culture of the barbershop so I don't mind it at all.

Although appointments are recommended thru "BOOKSY" I chose to walk-in, I was greeted by William who assured me he could accommodate my request for a Scissor Cut. After a few moments in the chair I found William to be very professional and skilled in his trade after he recommended a slight and modern update to my outdated style. I agreed with William's suggested update which was really something my family had been encouraging for quite a few years. In the end I walked out a very happy customer with my new style! The shop is well organized and clean while the staff is attentive and customer centric! JC's Barber House is family friendly while specializing in Men's grooming services! BTW - Pricing is very reasonable for the quality of services and professional attention to each client! I will return and am very satisfied with my visit today.

Prior to coming here I was at another barbershop for about 3 years, but wasn't happy. This place knows exactly what to do with my hair and how I like it. I've also gotten compliments on my cuts on the streets of NYC from strangers (seriously). Pros: -Parking -Barbers are all knowledgeable and experienced -Prices are reasonable -Barbers are nice, place is well lit and clean Cons: -The wait ... the wait... the wait. This is the only thing I really hate. Lol I've waited two hours because I want MY barber (he shall remain nameless because I don't want to wait longer lol) -Cash only -No appointments Definitely 5 stars for my barber and my backup the two best. You'll know who they are because they always have a line lol
