I have been using this salon for years. I followed Stacy here and she cut the hair of my kids and I. I gave $10.00 tips and was a loyal customer. On the evening of Kol Nidre I sat in Stacy's chair to get my hair done. She did a great job and she asked me about the election and the political buttons on my purse. She asked me who I was voting for and why. We had a very lovely conversation. She is a very nice person and great at her job. The usual receptionist was not there and as I went to pay the current receptionist confronted ME about my political beliefs. She started the conversation with the following sentence, "Your not going to vote for ____? Are you?" You can imagine it just fell apart from there. She treated me to a discourse on her opinions and how wrong and horrible I was for my beliefs. I finally responded and she then said, "please calm down". Meanwhile there are multiple TV's blasting and the music is playing on full blast and there are a number of hair dryers going. It appeared that no one heard anything. No one walked over, not the manager, not Stacy...it was an insulated conversation. I left shaken with a horrible headache. I called the Salon and asked to speak with Stacy. She got right on the phone and when I told her what happened she said, OH NO? Thats horrible! I am so sorry! I didn't hear a thing! Please speak to the manager." The manager got on the phone. His first comment was, "well she's young." But then when I repeated verbatim the comments she made, he was incredibly apologetic. He said, "That's terrible-she should have never said this to you. You are a client of 8 years and we are so sorry. I will speak to her." Yesterday, I realized I could not just let this go idly by. After years of loyalty to this salon and having sending tons of people here I knew I could never go back. Yes, you get a good haircut but you may be treated to a side order of hatred and vitriol if this receptionist sees you wearing the button of a person she doesn't like. This is my third go round attempting to post my review at this salon. Yelp keeps removing it-I am starting to wonder if Yelp is really a good place to go anymore. The owners are clearly trying to silence this experience. My review is negative and it is truthful. It is deeply upsetting and honest. It did happen. Add to this that throughout the process I have been stalked and threatened by 2 individuals named Gabby and Eric S. They posted their first comments ever on Yelp the day I posted mine. It is very suspicious and clearly targeted. I waited one month before posting my comments waiting to hear from the management. They never called. On behalf of the community that I am a part of-I was ashamed and would not want anyone to ever have to face this verbal brutality ever again. read more

I don't run to write a 5 star review for a business very often, but after the experience I had today, it's the least I could do to express my overwhelming satisfaction. I'm a very careful person when it comes to my hair, being that like most woman, I've had some pretty scaring experiences from other salons. From the moment I entered the salon I was greeted by extremely friendly staff, the girl at the front desk although busy took the time to ask me if I'd like any coffee or water and happily escorted me to the back to my now permanent stylist as of today- Susan. The salon itself is beautiful and extremely clean. I'm a very detail oriented person, and I hate coming to a salon and seeing dozens of people's cut hair all over the floor and everything in disarray. You see the staff constantly cleaning and primping to make sure everything looks it's absolute best, it doesn't go unnoticed. As I was saying, Suzan my stylist..She took her time with me despite my reservations and millions of questions about the process..she assured me that I was in good hands and it really calmed a nervous person like me, after all..your hair is the first thing people see. She took her time mixing and deciding colors that would look best with my skin tone. After coloring me, I was given one of the greatest head washes I've ever had. A head wash which was more of a massage..the best! Ultimately I could not be more ecstatic with the result. My color is absolutely amazing! It exceeded all of my expectations and then some. Susan truly out did herself! Her skill and dedication did not go unnoticed. All I can say is my confidence is through the roof now, and I finally found a salon to call home. There is no doubt that I will be returning to City Master Barbers. If I could give it 10 stars I would..I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone looking for an amazing salon in the area, because with confidence I say that it is the best. read more

I have been getting my haircuts at city masters since I stopped in without an appointment 2 years ago . The location , parking are a factor but that's not reason enough to keep going going to the same place and asking for the same hairstylist. Firstly , I have to compliment the friendly front desk girls Jessica and Julia . I am a regular customer but I'm high maintenance:) , I try to schedule appointments but I always forget so I always call last minute and both of these hardworking girls always help me out . If Jessica and Julia are the appetizers than the main course is Stacey , my hairstylist. I am over forty and don't have a ton of hair but she is able to work her magic and make me look good nonetheless. Stacy works very hard to please and I appreciate her efforts .Seeing her is like going to see am old friend . She takes her time with every client . Doesn't rush you out of the chair , she gives the hot towel treatment over my face and neck which I love . Every washing my hair she gives me a little massage which I love and it relaxes me . I know this sounds like a fake review but there many places where you can get a haircut in old bridge and nearby towns but they don't have the skill of Stacy , the courteous client service of the front desk of Jessica and Julia . Keep up the good work and I'll see you in a couple of weeks . Also final day , I have a 9 year old girl who always compliments me after the haircuts so given how Honest kids this is a good barometer ! read more

I've somehow gravitated to this establishment about the last 12 times, at different times. I've learned throughout the years, not to place too much emphasis on high-end haircuts which lasted one day (In my case). No matter the price i paid in high-end shops, or sales pitches on overpriced products that could change my life", within 24 hours, my hair still looked liked my communion picture taken at the age of 5- This place is different. Now, at the ripe old age of 55, I've found that passion for what we do is paramount over any service or product. Each of the 12 times I've "walked in" without an appointment, understandably, each hair artist was someone different. I say artist, because that is what each person who works there (including ownership) is, an artist. Although i don't remember names to well, Each person was passionate about their craft, and educated themselves in the present trends in a way like no other I've ever seen. I hope they keep growing bigger, better, and stronger, God speed!!! read more

Our entire family has been coming to this barber shop - slash - beauty salon for years. Irina is amazing! With an expansive menu of services for both men and women, an easy appointment system and a spacious, beautifully decorated interior, it really is a gem. Following the unfortunate COVID-19 related closures, this place has come back in force, with social distancing markings, staff wearing City Master Barbers-brand masks and plenty of sanitizer. Meanwhile, the waiting space has been rearranged, with couches, arm chairs and benches spaced out throughout the salon, to maximize patrons' comfort. As a result, this place is as luxurious as it's ever been, but also strictly compliant with pandemic-related requirements and very safe. Since the reopening, City Master Barbers is by-appointment-only, but appointments are easy to make both by phone and online. And, of course, we were very happy to see Irina, a fantastic stylist, after several months' hiatus. read more

I have the most difficult hair, so getting a haircut or a style is a nightmare for me. Last year I stumbled across City Master Barbers and was paired with the stylist, Lisa. She was absolutely amazing! Everything I could hope for, and more. She was patient and thoughtful and even more than that, gave me the best haircut and style of my life! It sounds a bit dramatic, but truly, she gave me more than a haircut, but a new feeling about myself - so much more confidence and even peace, just to have the perfect haircut with my impossible hair. She made the impossible, possible and I'm so grateful. My husband also gets his hair cut there - although he goes with whoever is available so that we can leave together - and every person who has done his cut, has been great. Clean, pleasant, easy-going...we've never felt rushed, really reasonable prices, an all-around positive experience. I couldn't recommend it more highly. And Lisa is the hero of my hair! read more

Best barber/salon/spa in the Old Bridge area, by far! It all starts with the man, the myth, the LEGEND, Glen! Glen blows my mind. He's such an artist and takes such pride in his work, and it shows. I literally take selfies of myself after getting a cut with Glen because I'm amazed how good it makes me look. A couple of things I'd like to point out about Glen. 1) He takes his time with you. He's not rushing you out of the chair (and sacrificing quality) to get onto his next client. Glen is a perfectionist and he will make sure you look your absolute best every time. 2) Glen will teach you the proper technique to get your hairstyle looking just how he has it looking when you leave your appointment. So you can look fantastic every day until your next haircut! Bottom line - give Glen a try, he's the EPITOME of a "Master Barber." You will not be disappointed! read more

Lisa at City Master Barber has been my stylist and my kids stylist for the past 2 years ,all I can say is no one cuts our hair but Lisa,we have never had a bad haircut or experience with Lisa doing our hair, we love it when we can just walk in and take the seat and she already knows how to do your hair just from memory ,you cant feel anymore comfortable than knowing that your stylist cares for her customers and their look and that it is done right before you leave ,I would suggest you try and get an appointment as she seems to be very busy every time we walk in and have to wait for her,but we plan on that every time we go there,the staff are really nice ,the place is always very clean and the atmosphere is nice and laid back,but highly professional, I would HIGHLY recommend this location for any hair cut or services they provide !!!!!! read more

I take the train all the way from NYC to see Nikki once a month to get my hair colored, cut, and blown out. In the city I could never find someone who got my hair the EXACT color I desired so I kept switching salons and had to meet new hair dressers and explain to them my hair each time. I've spent hundreds of dollars at other salons trying to find someone who understands my hair and the color I desire. My mom started going to Nikki and her hair never looked better so I had to take the train in to try it out, and I've been going to her ever since. Nikki is personable, easy to work with, and willing to try my ideas out. Her creative eye has led me from brunette, to a full head of blonde highlights, and now to platinum blonde! I have never been more confident in my hair and consistently happy with a hair dresser! read more

This place is awesome. Great haircuts at affordable prices. I personally go to Glen when going to City Master. His professionalism shows with every cut I get. He spends the time to make sure each hair on your head is cut perfectly. Definitely a master barber. I recommend him to all my friends and family. With regards to the location, it is a welcoming atmosphere and all the staff seem happy to be there. Good location; right on route 9. They have many other services besides haircuts as well Glen gives a perfectly custom haircut. I never leave with a haircut that lacks my approval. Haircuts are really the only time I get to treat myself and I feel like it is money well spent when having one with Glen. read more

I went here for the first time to get haircuts for myself and my 2 sons. We called ahead for appointments and were happily welcomed when we arrived and able to get started right away. The place is nice and clean with everyone working at a good pace. All 3 of us got haircuts from Eric who really did an amazing job. We explained what we were looking to do for each one of us and he executed the 3 different cuts perfectly. He worked quickly and efficiently, but we never felt the least bit rushed. It goes without saying that this will be our new spot going forward. Finding a new person to do your haircuts can be a little stressful. We were lucky enough to find on the first try, highly recommend! read more

I started going to City Master Barbers when I brought my son for a haircut. Nikki cut his hair and did a great job maneuvering his cowlicks (4). Then I started going in for my haircut with Susana and they are both spectacular!! Susana is amazing at what she does. She can practically get my hair done with her eyes closed and always pleases my hair style options. I recently took my mother-in-law to get her hair done and she couldn't be more pleased with Susana. Every single person that works there we have encountered with, is always very polite. Julia, Sussanna, Nikki and Rashidah (my apologies if I misspelled any names). PS you need to get a head massage from Rashidah...she is a Goddess!!! read more

You can never go wrong with City Master Barbers. They have an incredible staff that is always ready to provide the best service. I have short, thinning hair so I am borderline bald. I started working with Mackenzi in recent times. She is very artistic and creative. She was able to take something as simple as trimming a bald head to making it look great with some fades. I trust her so much that I let her decide what will good on me. I recommend everyone there. Overall I would recommend everyone there because not only are they at the top of their game but they are also great people to associate with. read more

This place was honestly great! I usually don't change from where I go but I thought I would give it a try since my good friend told me very nice things about it. The place is very clean and organized. Everyone was very sweet and kind to me when I walked in. I came to get highlights done on my hair and I had Lucy who took amazing care of me, eased my mind and did exactly what I wanted done on my hair, and it came out looking absolutely amazing!! She was beyond wonderful. I was very nervous walking in but I honestly Loved it and definitely will be coming here from now on. I recommend it !!! read more

All you have to do is say Stacey!! Ive been a very satisfied customer for almost 2 years with Stacey. She is a true master of her craft! She makes you feel like a king! Treated my brother in law who went to a corner barbershop for 50 plus years to a cut, hot towel shave and mask with Stacey! He is hooked! You leave so relaxed! There is nothing wrong with a man feeling pampered!! Book an appointment with Stacey and you will never go anywhere else! Thank you to Stacey and all the staff for the exceptional treatment!!!! read more

Nikki is truly the best. I was working late today January 2nd 2020. I sent Nikki a text to see how late she was working and at this time it was already 4:30. Not knowing she only worked till 4:00 she actually waited for me until 4:45. So if anyone needs a dedicated hairstylist Nikki is number one. She always seems to put all of her customers first never turning anyone away. This isn't the first time that I arrived late and it probably won't be the last and I know she'll always be there for me. Nikki is the greatest!!! read more
