My daughter lives nearby and i was at her house. Wanted a great haircut but have been searching since my hair guy moved to Florida. Walked in...met Angela and sat in her chair. Great conversation and nice woman... But the haircut was...Perfect! I have a new place for hair and a fantastic young stylist...Angela... 30 minutes, in and out. Angela has seriously great talent. Great experience...new place and i have a new hair stylist. Looking forward to returning. 5 star service and quality. read more

Manny was terrific. Hair cut, beard trim and hot towel shave were superb. And all with a nice conversation. read more

Classic Man Cut & Shave - Downtown Montclair - Barbers Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Manny did an amazing job on my haircut--super professional, detail-oriented, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. The shop has a great vibe, and you can tell they take pride in their work. Highly recommend! read more

Great haircut--really took care in making sure my hair was carefully cut. It was easy to make an appointment for the same day.

Easily the worst haircut of my life--hands down. I asked for a simple cleanup on the sides and somehow walked out looking like I just enlisted. The guy butchered it without a second thought. Completely ignored what I asked for and gave me a full-on Army General buzz. This place is a joke. If you're hoping for a disaster on your head, then by all means, book the appointment . Otherwise, stay away from this place read more

first time at this place, my son was not happy at all. the guy that cut his hair did a terrible job. I don't know the guy did not have enough experience or he was learning. My son look like he wanted to cry. read more

The team at this shop were amazing. Not only did my kid get an incredible haircut from Jay. They were so kind and caring. Shayla is a gem. So grateful! read more

Easily the worst haircut I have ever received in my life. No shape to it, cut it way too short, uneven back and sides. Do not recommend to anyone. read more

Great vibe in the shop. Talented and friendly staff! No matter which barber you choose, you're gonna get a great cut.

Excellent experience, Eli and his staff were wonderful. Will definitely go back !! I was in town for my sons wedding and I left looking sharp. Many thanks read more

Please don't get haircut from Asaad he will botch your hair and on top of that will give you a nasty attitude if you question the cut. The rest of the staff are nice and professional, this guy will ruin the reputation of the shop. read more

So I don't know if it's all that fair to give a place 5 stars on a first visit--and me an out-of-towner, but my service was excellent, my barber awesome and the end result exceptional. I'm in the Montclair NJ area for a wedding and the GF (not my fiancée...yet) is off to do her bridal party hair and makeup. She pushes some bills into my hand and says, "...and you get pretty too--find a men's shave shop, my treat." We both knew only the one, Classic Man, right at the corner of Bellville and Fullerton in the tony section of Montclair...and for the record I have *NEVER* had anyone else shave me before, much less straight razor. I made an appointment for 1:30, but was still a couple minutes late as parking in that area is certifiably insane--and this is me as a former Los Angelino talking. But my barber was ready and waiting right when I walked in the door. And this is my prejudices talking, because I expected a manly, 6'+, leather-and-canvas clad moto-biker gang, handlebar moustache, "Mama Didn't Love Me" tattoo...you know the kind. Nope. Karla is a petite 20-something who sat me right down and set me up like the professional she is. Multiple pre-shave unguents, courses of hot towels, hot lather and sure, steady, quick hand with the straight razor. Her smooth, short motions were barely sensible--seriously, a kitten licks harder and rougher. Karla's steady, quick yet unhurried hand had me super smooth and handsomer than ever. Thank you Classic Man, and thank you Karla! read more

I've been to this barbershop twice. The first time was a perfectly fine experience. Nice ambiance, competent barber, and a good haircut. The second time, unfortunately, was a 1-star experience. First, my haircut came out looking pretty strange -- this was partly my fault, since I chose not to communicate the fact that I wasn't satisfied with the cut. That's on me. More problematic is that the barber cut the back of my head with the straight razor and chose not to tell me. I felt some pain behind my ear but figured it was just some irritation. It was only later that my fiancée noticed blood dripping from behind my ear. Mistakes happen, but what you see in the picture merits an apology and a discount, not silence. I really liked my first cut here, but I won't be back. It seems to be too much of a gamble. read more

Great shop great people I travel in and out of NJ and Eli and his team are always there for me

I like this barbershop. Friendly, clean, and they open at 8am on Saturdays. This plave is cash only - but there is an atm on premise. My go-to girl here is KARLA!!!! Shes gives the best hair cuts, the best fades, and more! I have gotten tons of compliments from her cuts. I've been going to her for years now, and even followed her to this new place. She listens to her clients, and knows how to style any look. Definitely use the Mybarberapp to book a slot her. read more

New to town and I started to look a bit ragged. Had to scout out my new neighborhood and hope to find a barber that can keep my style looking fresh. Walked into Classic Man Cut & Shave they got me set up for an appointment. They take their time and do incredible work. Well worth those extra minutes to tighten it up. Never like being rushed through a cut at some shops out there. Amazing job by talented professionals. Highly recommend visiting Classic Man's fine shop, the reviews speak for themselves. They're a great place, providing an even greater service. read more

I took my 12-year-old son here for a back-to-school haircut. It was our first time here. The barber, whose name I unfortunately did not get, did a fantastic job. Definitely worth the $20 plus tip that they charge for a kids haircut. Lots of stylists in the past have not been an able to blend my son's preferred haircut properly. The barber at this shop nailed it. read more

Today I paid $40 for an Ok haircut, uneven (almost sheared) sideburns and a cut in my neck. The worst is that I didn't even receive an apology! When I returned from the bathroom after cleaning the wound and the blood, the guy who cut me just took my money (full price) and the 2 women that were working there just disappeared. Terrible experience! read more

Once restrictions started being lifted, I was desperate for a haircut. Eli got me back to looking normal and gave a real solid cut. He's also great to chat with. The spot was also super invested in keeping everyone appropriately social distanced. Would def go back. read more

The guy cutting my hair was either deaf or did it on purpose, i specifically told him "PLEASE DONT CUT OFF TOO MUCH OF MY HAIR" lightly taper the sides and just take off ONE!! 1!!! Again just ONE finger off from the top as i am trying to grow a man bun!!! I walked in with my top hair touching my upper tip of my lip, and left with it touching the middle of my forehead! Ive waited one full year for it to reach that length and he goes a head and cuts it all off. Ive never felt upset about bad haircuts, hair is hair it grows back, but this time it was too much my hair is taking too long to grow and ive always wanted a man bun, this is really upsetting. And the PRICE!! 30 bucks plus the tip! $35 freaking bucks for a hair i did not even ask for! read more

Good experience on my 1st visit. I was looking for a new place and I plan to try them again. read more

A haircut at a barbershop should normally take more than 25-30 minutes in my opinion. That doesn't mean you can't cut hair well in a shorter time, but it will feel like your being rushed. This was the case when I visited this barber. It actually was my second visit, just to see if the first time was a fluke. The result of the second time was actually decent, but nothing special. For five stars you want them to spend some time on sideburns, neck and hairlines. Even if they use a machine on the sides and back, it should not feel like they are shaving a sheep. The experience bus just as much important as the result itself. Three stars because the result is alright, but I will definitely try other barbers first. read more

I found this place on Yelp after having been disappointed with other barbershops in my area. I showed up about 15 minutes late because I'm not familiar with the area and parking in Montclair can be a tad tricky (plan for it so you have enough time) but Angela didn't even hesitate to take me as a walk-in. She sat me down, asked me what it was I needed and got right to work. I could tell she wanted to make sure she did her best and she did! She took her time, dotted her i's and crossed her t's. Wish you could see me now! The shop was clean and looked like the pictures on the site. I was even offered espresso. One thing to note is that they only take cash, although they do have an ATM ($1.99 transaction fee). The shop wasn't loud but there was nice mix of the clippers humming and conversations between clients and staff, it was nice. Overall, great environment. I can go on and on but you get the picture! Two thumbs up! read more

It's just been quality cuts every time I go here. Really clean place, nice and friendly barbers, always smiling, and the towel just wow, that feels great at the end. I usually go here once in a while for a cut. It's been a while since I've been here because I tried out a barber at my hometown and that wasn't a good plan, I just came back here and plan on sticking here. I ended up getting a really good haircut from here by Karla. Just come through, get a cut, and enjoy a nice towel. You'll be pleased with the way your hair looks. read more

I've been visiting Classic Man on and off for about three years, and they're really the best in town. I've tried out a few of Montclair's other barbers, but Classic Man really does it right. Sheila has cut my hair a handful of times in the past year and she always gives me just what I want and is super friendly. Today I had Karla cut my hair and she was just as good, and also super friendly and professional. It looks great. So glad they're open even during the corona times, true essential workers. read more

Well, this wasn't the first time I'd been to this place. The first time it was ok. She, don't know her name, didn't take a lot off, which I understand because I have longer hair. But today I saw Joseph. I showed him a picture of what I wanted. See pic below. See also pic below for what I got. I'm giving the place two stars because of the atmosphere and the fact that he didn't charge me. I gave him $10 to go get lunch. That was too much though. Since I've been less than satisfied twice now I will never go back. read more
