Nice place for the perfect haircut They follow all the protocol of Covid 19 - social distancing, temperature check! read more

My son gave his little brother a crazy uneven hair cut when he was 8 and it was cute. My experience at this place was worse, not cute at all and very expensive. Worse haircut ever. read more

I took my little guy here to get a haircut with Sam primarily because of the reviews I've read. I wasn't disappointed at all. Out of all the haircuts my 7 year old has received, the haircut he got from Sam is by far the best! The environment is pretty chill but the guys getting the job done are very attention-to-detail type guys. I'm super excited about this place because I've now found the place that will cut his hair. read more

Pricing of a standard haircut is on the high side, but service from Victor and others is really good

What a great place! My boyfriend has been going here forever. Everyone here is friendly and the vibes are immaculate. I only took off a star because the prices are getting a little expensive. It's costs $55 for a basic haircut (no hot towel, hair rinse, or styling). read more

Khalil, you might've made my year with this cut. Great service, and personalized treatment with real suggestions based on my current hair length, had me feelin right for my girl 10/10 goin back ASAP no rocky read more

Quality haircut at a reasonable cost. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Appointments are easy to schedule on line if you wish.

[This review was made in 11/2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic] It all makes sense now why a bunch of my friends are always getting their cuts from Razorsharp. This place is the new wave of barbershops that, as the business says themselves, "is a creation of old school barbering mixing along with the new." And on top of that, their attention to detail is on point. I got my cut from Sam and was extremely pleased with the results! Not only did I appreciate the cut because I left feeling more confident with how I looked, but also because of the quality of conversation I had with Sam. Overall, Razorsharp delivered and was very much in line with COVID-19 expectations of safety. Upon entering, I had my temperature taken and was given hand sanitizer. All barbers and customers were wearing masks and transparent barriers were placed between all stations. It's great knowing that I can get a quality haircut while also feeling safe knowing that all of these precautions were taken. Will be back soon~ read more

My husband went in for the first time and didn't really like it . It was over priced for no reason ! And don't accept zelle and the service was ok . read more

Used to be good pre-covid. They raised the price which is understandable but the service sucks now. They didn't honor my appointment and made me just wait without any updates. Decided to just walk out. Most of the regular staff is gone, the ones that were there were doing more talking than cutting. Shame. I used to like it here. can't recommend this anymore. Service and price don't match. read more

Giving them 5 stars because during my another visit Sam was pretty good and mask were up all the time. I would definitely recommend this place for a perfect haircut read more

Sam has been my barber for 5 years straight and there is no one else I'd trust with my barber experience. He automatically makes you feel at ease when you sit in the chair and his attention to detail is second to none. Would highly recommend! read more

Great Barber Shop! Got a Saturday noon appointment on short notice. New guy on a tryout -- Christian -- did a good job under tough circumstances. A really sharp, clean, old-school flat top is a hard cut to do. There's not a lot left, so any small mistake is visible. Christian is in a tough spot, because I'm comparing him to my regular guy who's been doing flat tops since 1980. But he did a good job, 3.2 out of 4. A little room for growth. The place has a cool vibe, young, gritty urban blended with traditional barbershop (the kind your old man took you to when you were a kid). I could live without the hip hop playing. (But I'm old). I saw a lot of haircuts getting done by guys who were really paying attention and turning out some sharp looks. Here are a couple pics. Decide for yourself. Please evaluate the hair and not the model. Try to be fair to the barber! read more

What a dope place for a haircut, chill vibe, Netflix or the like on usually it's just a fun experience getting your hair by professionals who know what they're doing. Keep doing you boys! Moved out to queens yet still can't bring myself to get a haircut from anyone other than Corey read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Sam for a little over 2 years now and he is truly a master at his craft. His fades are consistently good, they always have a seamless transition. Sam is very accommodating: he will answer any question you have and make suggestions on hair styles that will suit you best. . The shop itself is very clean and all barbers seem to be friendly. read more

Very high quality barber shop. My experience booking an appointment through the website, to the service was top notch. ATM $2 is inside. Parking is 50 cents per hour, $2/hr credit. Barber was courteous and tentative. Manager was courteous and greeted me immediately. Found me in the schedule immediately. read more

This is the second time I've been here and it's been excellent both times. Up and coming friendly guys with a chill vibe. It's like a hip contemporary version of an old school barbershop. Make sure you call for an appointment, cuz they book up fast, but if you're willing to wait, maybe they could fit you in. It's worth the wait. read more

Razorsharp - Great vibe and an excellent cut here - Barbers Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

I went to Razor Sharp because of all of the fantastic reviews the place has gotten here on Yelp. I have a nape undercut and wanted a design, but wasn't sure what I wanted, and my usual hair salon doesn't do designs. I'd never been inside a barbershop before. I walked in and was immediately taken care of by Eddie. I told him to do whatever he wanted and he took his time, was very professional and helped me relax. I'm very happy with the result and I'll definitely be going back! The place was very clean and the staff were all friendly. I can see why they have so many good reviews. Edit: Eddie has moved to their other location (The Wolves Den in Westfield) so I have been taken care of by Dylan and once by Carlo. I have since had my sides shaved as well--I'm sporting a 360-degree undercut now-- and have been going back every few weeks to get freestyle designs done. I've been very happy and am always getting compliments on my hair. These guys don't just cut hair; they are artists. In July 2016 they had the shop completely remodeled, and it looks even classier than before. Edit, July 2017: I've been a consistent customer of Razor Sharp for over two years now, and the cleanliness and quality of service is definitely still there. I book all of my appointments with Dylan, and I love the ease of booking appointments online. However, their prices have gone up to $35 just to give my undercut a simple fade, and that's a bit steep every few weeks. I have no problem paying that much for a design, but I may have to start going elsewhere if I just want a buzz or fade. read more

Outstanding service! I was able to make an appointment within a day, no hassle. I had made the mistake of trying to trim my own beard before my trip to NJ. I needed help correcting my beard for New Years Eve. I was expecting a basic trim and haircut. Instead I received a full service, 1 hour haircut and beard reshape. I walked out feeling like a new man. At one point, an Aerosmith song came on and three tattooed barbers started singing the lyrics... Good times and Great Cuts. Thank you Razorsharp! read more

Everyone at rsbsx13.com is great. Fun bunch of guys cutting and shaping to your exact desire. I have my cuts with Khalil prior to his new business. Patient and actually cares about his clients as the rest of guys equally. Generally 30 minutes or so depending on the style. They do everything and not afraid to experiment with permission. Owner Khalil is very personable and respectful. It's good that they do KIDS so good father and son moments. Cuts range in price...$20 for kids which is fair. Smoothie is around $30. Clean clean clean shop. read more

Update: Jared has become my new barber and he is the man. Always a fresh, clean cut and he is a good dude. All the staff is great. Best barber shop in the area. Clean, great atmosphere and highly skilled barbers. Khalil is one of the most versatile barbers and his passion for the craft is unmatched. All the other barbers are just as talented and offer great versatility in different types of haircuts and styles. The vibe in the shop is always top notch as is everything else they do. You need to check out Razor Sharp Barber Shop. read more

BEST HAIRCUT HANDS DOWN I've been going to Khalil for almost 10 years he hasn't touched my head in over 5 years and he is an absolute master at his craft ! I traveled from Florida for a mini vacation and made sure I stopped in for a cut ! read more

Everyday, without fail, I get stopped and asked how you so sexy.. I just nod, wink and say RSBS. Big ups to Jared for keeping the big Irish sexy af. read more

I've known Khalil Malamug for a little over 9 years now. My brother first introduced me to him back when he was first cutting at In The Cut Barbershop in Dunellen NJ. Off the bat you could tell that he was serious about his craft. A couple of years later both him and his cousin Dylan (aka D) ended up going to another shop in NJ: Chief Barbershop in Piscataway NJ. That's when their craft started to take off and you saw how the clientele loved their work. Eventually Khalil Malamug left that shop and created this amazing spot you all know as Razorsharp Barbershop & Shave Parlor. Man, I'll never go to any other barbershop than this one right here. It's always quality a haircut experience when you walk in. Although appointments are strongly recommended (because of the number of clientele they have) the wait for a walk-in usually takes anywhere from 5-30 minutes. However it's always worth it in the end. As for barbers to recommend, in all honesty ALL OF THEM. There is not one barber at RSBS that I would not feel comfortable cutting my hair. There's a reason why they're even there in the first place. Khalil takes his time evaluating all barbers separately to assure himself that his clients will be getting the best possible experience. They even have an Instagram to check out all of their cuts! @rsbsx13 If you're looking for $10-$15 haircuts, you're better off going somewhere else. This place is serious quality, and with quality comes patience. You cannot expect a quality haircut for a low price and done under 20 minutes. They take their time with you and make sure you'll leave satisfied. Compare a $10 haircut to an RSBS haircut and you do the math. There is NO comparison. From here on out I expect nothing less than success for Khalil and the Razorsharp Barbershop team! I definitely trust in sharp, do you? read more

Razorsharp - Best barbershop in New Jersey! - Barbers Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

First time here. Khalil was my barber. He's a cool guy. He was great at listening and helped me decide on a hairstyle based on what I was aiming for. Definitely coming back. read more

A master of his craft with unrivaled attention to detail, Sam is a dangerous man. His cuts make me way too handsome and it can get exhausting with the plethora of dates I get just because my hair looks too damn good. This relationship is the long term relationship you want built on trust and comfort. He's an artist and each cut is a masterpiece on your head. I know finding the right barber is a sacrosanct and meticulous process. Well look no further, Sam is your guy. If you want to be as beautiful on the outside as you already are on the inside then book him ASAP. You won't regret it! When I'm old af and if I lose all my hair but 3 strands of hair on my head, best believe he will be the one cutting them. read more

Definitely the new Era of barbershops. I've been here three times. Both barbers were very professional and welcoming. My barber had moved and a friend had mentioned to go here. I'm usually nervous to try someone new, but I feel extremely confident in all the barbers in this spot. Thank you for making me feel like one of the fellas. read more

Looks like an establishment I would patronize until I noticed "cash only" let's move into the 21st century

When I was poor, young kid in my early 20s, just trying to make ends meet working my first job in the Wall Street district, I did what most poor, young kids like me did: spend all my money on things I had no right to be spending it on. One of those things was a membership to John Allen's in downtown Manhattan. Billing itself as an "exclusive men's grooming club," it was a place where men went to be pampered by beautiful women, cutting their hair, grooming their nails, shining their shoes, massaging their faces, trimming up beards, serving up draft beers... everything short of a happy ending. I may have been the tenant of a cramped, 9' by 6' bedroom in the dingiest of dingy flophouses in the eerie depths of Chinatown at the time -- but I was a customer of John f*cking Allen's, yo. Which meant I felt like "the man." Oh, those were the days. Fast forward all these years later, and now living in the suburbs, I have always longed for something akin to that John Allen's experience. I don't even have a lot of hair left, and I typically get Marc N. to shine my shoes, so my needs are pretty simple. For the last few years I have lived on the standard issue $12 barbershop haircut, where I am in and out in about 6 minutes, and the results are generally fine. But then I started seeing reviews for Razor Sharp, in nearby Metuchen. Could this really be that elusive, old-school barbershop experience I've been longing for? Oh, you bet it is. I called ahead on a Sunday, sensing that it would be smart to make an appointment even though the Website states that walk-ins are accepted. (Great Website, BTW.) Jimmy would be taking care of me. So later that afternoon, I made the trip into Metuchen, cautiously excited for what was to come. The place was packed. I believe they were in the midst of a grand re-opening party or something. All I know is that I walked in, was greeted and given a seat on a nice, comfy couch, and immediately offered a beer. My appointment with Jimmy started right on time. Despite the fact that I am nearing that stage where my haircut will soon just be a clean shave, I was amazed at the time, effort, and precision that Jimmy put in to grooming every single hair on my head and face. Clearly, these guys take enormous pride in their trade, and see their work as a form of art. And judging by the cuts I saw coming out of this place, I must concur. They do great work here, and the booming business they are doing here proves it. I always tell people -- it's the little things in life that matter. The simple joy of getting a killer shoeshine carries me all day long. And now I can add a great haircut to that list. At $35 for a cut and a beard trim, I find this to be money well spent. And while no amount of skill will ever bring back my totally awesome, Sun In-bleached, Flock of Seagulls haircut from the 1980s, I can at least walk away feeling like the million dollars I used to piss away at John Allen's every year. Good luck, guys! You deserve it. read more

So I drive past this place on a Monday and see it is opened. I walk in and make an appointment for Thursday. As I walked in the place is clean and what one would expect from a place with Razor in its name. I leave and keep on with my day. On Tuesday I see that my day has some free time and a nice close shave sounds like a good idea. Lucky me they have a slot and slide in. They explained that they do a razor shave using a hot and cold towel process. I ask for my head and face razor shave and off we go. Gil (aka Bubie) is my guy for this journey. He cleans his station as I sit down and readies his tools. I sit and off we go. His skill and closeness was one of the best I have had in years. He listened when I explained how I wanted my goatee shaped. He did a great job and I thought the $35.00 for head and face shave was well worth it. I can see the young folks liking it more for the hip hop feeling. But they still can do an old school shave like an old time barber shop. I can see this place making it in our town I just hope they don't overprice themselves after some time. I wish them well and will visit them once I am back home from Nigeria.

Razorsharp - Barbers Near Me - Metuchen, New Jersey

With black-varnished walls, late-night hours, complimentary refreshments, and a prime Central NJ location, one might easily mistake this trendy barbershop for the neighborhood's newest speakeasy. The uber trendy decor with eight sleek black leather chairs with workbench fitted station tops creates a properly retro and slick looking finish. While the shop sports many tattoo-covered stylists specializing in cuts ranging from classic to the newer and trendier fades and short urban hair cuts, each one of them is very competent at executing any choice of eye catching hairstyle. The staff - super friendly and unpretentious My stylist - Jimmy - listened to exactly what I wanted, and for the first time ever, I walked out with exactly what I asked for. Reasonably priced, laid back and super cool, this is a shop that will make anyone and everyone emerge feeling great. Razor Sharp gave me the best haircut I have had in a long time, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for the same. read more

I travel around the country generally 6 days a week. It's generally very difficult to find a good barber, let alone one I can trust. So after letting the mane grow too ratty, I decided a Wednesday morning was the moment I had to fix it. I found this place on Yelp. I was a little hesitant that it would be too old school - I couldn't have been more wrong. Called and they said they could fit me in in a half hour. When I got there I was immediately was taken care of by D. Fantastic haircut, beard trim, and shave. He took his time but not too long. Took care of everything in a half hour. Decent price compared to the barbers in DC and NYC that gouge you for a quick 15 minute trim. This actually might be a planned stop in the travels through NJ. read more

The time and dedication these guys put into giving a haircut is truly professional. They are completely focus on their customer and make sure to take their time to get every detail on the cut spot on (even if they have a whole bunch of people waiting). You should always schedule ahead and book an appointment, because walkins usually have you waiting awhile, but the wait is worth it. All the barbers here are veterans in their craft so you can have complete confidence when you are next in line. And I would recommend Peter if you are not sure who to pick. He may look young but he takes the craft seriously and makes damn sure that you come out of that seat better looking before you came in. read more

I've been going to Sam since 2015! Absolutely the best in the game and has always kept me sharp since the first day I sat in his chair. Pays careful attention to detail and is super consistent with each cut. Very personable and I trust that he will take good care of me. I've been referring all my friends to him since then and he never disappoints. Aside from his skillset, he gives his clients a sense of comfort and confidence walking out of the shop. if I could give him and this shop 10 out of 5 stars I would. Thanks for keeping me sharp! read more

Razorsharp is the place to be. The guys in there are genuine good people and care for the well being of all of their customers. To them cutting hair isnt just a job its their passion and u can see it when u get in that chair and they start cutting your hair. This is no ordinary barbershop. So many barbershops around the area are more focused on how many people they can pump out in a day rather than the quality of work. The first time i walked in I was greeted by Christian and the first thing he said to me was "How are you doing today Sir, allow me to hang up your coat.' Now as an individual i am not used to that kind of service unless i am somewhere extremely fancy in New York City. Everyone was so welcoming and the environment was so relaxing. Its not like one of those place where you walk in and ur already nervous. I was actually excited to get my hair cut and i am extremely picky about who i allow to touch my hair. My barbers name is Jared. One of the most hilarious guys i have met yet. Always poking jokes and just having a good time doing his job. You can tell he loves being there and just working with those guys. He took about 45 minutes on my haircut. A simple skin fade on the sides and a 1and 1/2 on top. A haircut that normally takes around 10 minutes at my old barbshop. Jared took his time and made sure everything was perfect. I have never recieved a fade that good EVER. EVERY SINGLE barber that i have been to in the past has faded my hair and u can tell where they start and where they try to fade it. I have never received a true fade until Jared cut me that day. I couldnt tell where it started and where it ended, It was so smooth i couldnt believe it was a real haircut. So at the end of the day drop your barber and hit up Razorsharp You wont regret it read more
