(She always did quality work). I figured I'd give this new guy Quan a chance. He was friendly but this is about the service provided. He absolutely butchered my neck and I don't have sensitive skin. He didn't even put on any spray or lotion for the burn. Picture is 5 hours later and my neck is still red and burning. I'd be surprised if he cleans his clippers. I've been going here for years but sadly never again.

May I give 0 stars? Had an appointment for 4pm. Arrived at 3:55. Was told Randy was too backed up…read moreand asked if I minded going with another barber. One of two people sitting in back stood up and volunteered while the other kept playing NBA 2k without moving. Why neither were already cutting hair to help with backlog is beyond me. While the young man proceeded to cut my hair, I learned through his own sharing that he was not licensed, still in hair cutting school and it was his first day on the job. All things that would've made me say NO when asked if I wanted another barber. I then proceeded to hear about his hip hop career and how he also works as a waiter. He may some day become a decent barber, but today wasn't that day. I showed him a very clear picture of what I wanted. He did not execute. He was timid with the shears and didn't go any where near as high as asked. Scissor cut a lot of hair I never get cut by scissors. Mostly on upper sides. The buzz lines were uneven on either side of my head. The length on top varies significantly from side to side and front to back. I still have hair on back of neck and at lower part of hairline that should never be there. I also learned that the owners, think they said Juan and Mike, don't come in. When I attempted to speak to Randy, who was the most senior person there, he was confrontational and argumentative. He took offense to the fact I was upset he dished me to an unlicensed trainee on their first day without sharing that info. He made no effort to quell the situation other than to "explain to me" why I was wrong for being upset and disrespected as a returning customer. When l asked another patron who was also upset what time his appointment was, he said 3:30. It was 4:45 and his son was still in the chair. He indicated, he needed Randy to finish because they were late. At that point I left. This establishment is being run by an immature barber who is not ready to manage. He even said at one point, "I'm not the boss here bro". They have 2 unlicensed, still in training barbers on staff and no one else. Avoid at all costs!!

I'm going for my third cut there, and I've always been more than satisfied with the quality and value I've received. Now that I'm a senior, and on a nearly fixed income, the senior cuts ($18) make the good deal even better. The only way to top THAT, is if I had more hair! The vibe there is excellent. The barbers like each other, talk a lot, and I feel like I'm in their house killing time, which I'd like more of. The decor is better than most, and it has a bit of an island feel. Of the 3 local barbershop I've been to in Colonia (Woodbridge Twp), this will be my main (if not only) haircut place anymore.

I'm so upset with my haircut that I am writing this review at 1:00am. I can't even fall asleep…read more Called the salon today to make an appointment and was so sad to hear that my talented hairstylist Allen no longer works here. Receptionist asked if she can assign me with someone else. I said anyone but Jimmy (owner). My son and I had him once before and he did not do a good job. When I walked in today, they gave me Leo. He took over Allen's station. I asked for 2" off with lots of layers to give my hair some volume since I have very thin hair. Leo showed me how much he would cut off and I gave him the go ahead. I thought Asians are supposed to be great at math but holy shhhh he started cutting and cutting and cutting and it got shorter and shorter. At this point it was hard for me to say something. Pretty sure that he cut off FIVE whole inches. Not only did he cut off 5" but the layers he gave me were very choppy, it looks like he hacked it with a saw. The receptionist came by to sweep up my hair with a dust pan and my eyes were bugging out because I was in shock at how much he cut off. I spend an obscene amount on high quality hair products at home to keep my hair healthy. Now it looks like shhhh. Never in my entire life have I ever gotten such a bad cut. I know it's just hair and it will grow back but I felt I need to write this review to warn others. When layers are trimmed, it should fall softy and naturally. He also thinned out my ends so much that it looks weird. OMG!! I can't!! The strange thing is, all the best stylist at this salon, Allen, Ben, Jackie left. Now I will have to go into NYC to find a new salon. This has traumatized me.

I called them on a busy Friday and the person on the phone accommodated me within 15 minutes. When I arrived, I was promptly attended to by 2 people! I think it's the fastest salon service I've ever gotten, usually a wash cut and style and root touch up takes 4-6, they got in done in under 2! Efficient, and reliable! The pricing was clear, and transparent, which I also appreciated. I was told upfront how much service would be, as well as any fees for cards. Staff was helpful and attentive and seriously blew me away at the haircut I got. I even got a snack! Seriously, if you're hesitant, don't. They are incredibly nice, fast, and accommodating. I feel confident and happy with my haircut (Thanks to Allen) and will surely be back! Would highly recommend this spot!

Roger in particular is very thorough and patient and makes sure to get super precise results.

No one does it better.
