Bryan is hands down the only barber I trust with my hair. Every single cut is on point -- clean, consistent, and exactly how I want it every time. He pays attention to detail, takes his time, and you can tell he really cares about his craft. On top of that, you truly can't beat the price for the quality he delivers. If you're looking for a barber who's reliable, skilled, and keeps you looking sharp every visit, Bryan is the one. Highly recommend. read more

So we all know how hard it is to find that go to barber that you know will get you the haircut you actually want. I can't tell you how many different barbers I have been to and how many bad haircuts I have had to endure. A lot of people are thinking... hey it's just hair... it will grow back. Well that takes time and I also have to deal with looking like a fool for this wedding I have to go to the next day. Have you ever sat down and watched your barber try and cut your hair while texting on his phone or watching tv? Or what about getting a haircut that lasts a total of 5 minutes but having to cough up $35? We all know that feeling and we hate it. With that being said, finding a great CONSISTENT barber is one of the hardest endeavors every guy has to go through. Patrons lounge barber shop is the only place I will go to for haircuts. I first met Bryan back when he was working at uptown Cutz in Morristown, NJ. Since then he has moved to Boonton and finally settled down in Elizabeth, NJ. I have not let anyone else cut my hair for the last 8 years. I live about 30 minutes away from Patrons Lounge (45 mins with traffic), but I will make that trip every time because I know I will get the cut I want every time. The shop is located right down the street from Kean University. Parking can be a bit difficult at times because it's located on a very busy street. I usually find lots of street parking spaces on Pennington Street and walk 1-2 minutes to the shop. The space and environment is amazing. Very modern and hip look with great music. There are about 6-8 chairs at the shop with 6-8 barbers working at a time. The shop is very clean and usually has some sporting event playing on the tv. The barbers there are all great but I ALWAYS go to Bryan or his two brothers. All the barbers there are great but to me these guys are the best of the best and a standard for what a barber should be. It's a family owned business and these guys are very involved within their community. The shop is open from 10am - 9pm Tuesday-Sunday which is perfect for someone like me who comes in after work. They don't take appointments and work on a first come first serve type of basis. The average haircuts usually last anywhere from 30-45 minutes. With that being said you may end up having to wait some time if there are a lot of people ahead of you. Many people consider this to be the worst thing about this shop but I feel differently. When I get a haircut that lasts over 30 minutes I know it's because my barber is taking his time and focusing on my hair. He pays attention to the details and makes sure he is providing me with the very best service. I know that I am definitely getting my money's worth. If you don't have the patience to wait then you can easily choose any of the other barbers at the shop. But if you have developed a relationship with a particular barber you will definitely sacrifice the time. I definitely recommend that you come by and check these guys out. Especially if you're a student at Kean looking for a great barber that's close by. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

See all

Holy S**t! The haircut I got from Ivan was CRAZY good. I don't get any fancy designs other than tell him what I wanted, which was a basic cut. Short on the sides, keep the top a little long. He delivered the same thing I had in mind. Not only that, but he styled my hair in a way that hides some of the receding hairline. Alan is also another barber I've been a customer for... he is yet another talented person with some crazy good skills. I highly recommend and suggest this shop, even though it may be a little pricy, but I would 1,000% work with both barbers again! read more

Great barbers; horrible service. The guy that cut my hair there is literally the best barber I've ever had cut my hair; buy their lack of punctuality is insane. I've been going to him since 2010 and he's never changed; in fact, they've gotten later and later. I'm a corporate professional with bankers hours sometime and I need a haircut in the morning sometimes. You will NEVER get a haircut here before noon. I hate having yo find a new barber because it's so hard; but I have to because this guy won't take appointments, is always late and he's so good people actually wait for him sometimes for over an hour. So when he comes in he already has 4 or 5 heads which amounts to approximately 6 hours (Haircut and beard). Too bad read more

Great haircuts, but never on-time. These guys are all great barbers and take time for detail. The irritating thing about them is that they never are there on-time if you need a haircut at 10AM. I have stopped by there at 10AM twice and they were closed. My particular barber is always anywhere between 15-45 minutes late. Not acceptable! I hated to stop giving these guys my business but being prompt is just as important at being good at what you do. read more

Today i received my first haircut from javier at patrons lounge and i am ecstatic of how well my haircut turned out; Unlike other barbers, they charge a reasonable price and pay close attention to the smallest details that majority of barbers would not. They care for their customers and want to make sure you leave more than satisfied and excited about going back. I highly recommend giving this barbershop a try, you will not leave disappointed read more
