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.

Love this place! I don't live in the area anymore and have yet to find a barbershop that cuts hair…read moreas well as these guys. They really take their time making sure your haircut is fresh. 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.

This is the third barber I give five stars in the past ten years or so. First of, the barbershop is…read morereally cool, and they were playing good music. I saw kids, and college students getting haircuts from the two barbers, both of whom were very nice. I was happy with my haircut, and the barber used a razor to finish fixing it, which to me is the difference between a good cut, and some rando haircut place. She also asked me whether I wanted to trim or blend my hair, which is exactly the right kind of question, because I never know what I want and I have to be nudged in the right direction. I like the I could use a credit card to pay, and to leave a tip. My only suggestion would be for the barbers to use warm foam. Also New Brunswick is a pain to park in, so give yourself time to get there.

Writing a review after a long time doesn't come handy when you cannot remember the barber's name…read more I recently had a hair cut here going by the reviews and did a walk-in without booking an appointment. The place looked like a barber shop in the middle of a nice game room. The barber (sorry couldn't recall his name) asked the requirements and quickly jumped to work. He did a pretty clean job but I had a complete turn off when he assumed that I wouldn't need long sideburns and decided to chop it off short. I immediately told him that I usually sport long sideburns and he must have checked with me before proceeding. I was equally surprised that it cost $35 for a simple haircut. Anyway the place had good aesthetics and ambience and it would definitely cost that much if you are also making use of their pool table or the PlayStation. I also found the music little too loud as both of us found it difficult to hear each other.

I've been coming here for about 4 years now and have never thought about reviewing this place, but…read morewhile I wait WHY NOT?!? Every barber here is good. 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

I came to true cuts because I was looking overdue for a haircut. We had our first kid 2 months ago…read moreand haircuts have gone to the way side and as someone who has hair that grows pretty fast and needs about 6 cuts a year when I wear it long for a guy I was long overdue. I called to schedule and they directed me to their website. At first I wasn't a fan. But it was pretty easy to see all the available times and to pick the most convenient one for me which was actually within 20 minutes of me looking. You got to do stuff when. The kid goes down for a nap and my wife green lit the hair cut. I got there 10 minutes early and they were able to take me a few minutes early which I appreciated. The guy who cut my hair was good. He was young looking but he did a great job. He did a lot of attention to detail with my beard and whipped out a straight razor to clean up my brow a bit. I thought the prices were affordable and the shop was clean. Added bonus for Rutgers students they have a discount which is always nice. In about 30 minutes I was transformed from possibly homeless to stylin. And located on George Street in New Brunswick is pretty central. Worth checking out if you need a hair cut.
