Throughout the years, Backstreet Hair Cutters has flourished with clientel and has gained a trustworthy name for itself! This is Newark, this isn't a high end New York City Salon. Lots of my friends go here to get their hair cut and have gone for years. What you'll find is a friendly couple of barbers (and I think a lady that does nails....or did at one time). The also carries hair product for sale. It's a small barber shop. But they'll get you in and get you out in no time.

I had a very poor experience at this barber shop. After my appointment, I had to leave to retrieve…read moremy cash (my chip was not working) and returned maybe 5 minutes later. When I came back, I politely raised a concern about my haircut, specifically that he did leave a noticeable bald spot that I do not have. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the barber immediately became defensive, argumentative, and dismissive. Rather than listening or trying to understand the issue, he flat-out denied any problem and insisted that my hair was "thinning," which was both inaccurate and unnecessary. (All I did up to this point was mention what he did) I explained that I am very familiar with my own hair and would know if my hair was thinning, I want to also mention that I'm 21, but the conversation continued to be met with resistance and attitude instead of any willingness to resolve the concern. He then insults me saying "your hair is thinning everywhere". At no point did I raise my voice or act disrespectfully--I simply expected a reasonable, professional response. The interaction ended with me being waved off without any attempt to acknowledge the issue or offer any form of resolution. I'm not sure if it was because I'm Hispanic or if he's just a very upset human being. Other than that, the haircut still sucked, the lines weren't straight, you can still see the lines in my hair that he didn't fade out correctly, he also cut too much off the top.

Mid haircuts with crappie/lazy service. Much better options in the area that will treat you right…read more Owner rescheduled my appointment because they wrote me down on the wrong day (the day they had me down for is a day I coach baseball) and tried to tell me it was on me. After explaining I wouldn't of made an appointment on a day that I have practice he agreed to fit me in before leaving Saturday to go home. I show up 10 minutes early just in case he was waiting on me, just so I could watch him lock up his shop and leave. Legit tried to ditch out 10 minutes before my appointment...that he set. Never felt more disrespected as a customer. Especially since I had yearbook pictures for our ball team on Monday and was not able to get my haircut before pictures. Horrible, horrible, horrible service. If I could have given them zero stars I would have.
