Quick haircut. Took too much off and though the hair will grow back, frustrating that a picture I sent had at least 3 inches of hair and he cut down to one inch. Blamed it on my cowlicks... if you can't do the cut, communicate with the customer. read more

I've been coming here for over 5 years to see Ruben and he does an awesome job on my hair. Can't recommend him enough

this haircutting place is absolutely terrible. they cut my head in several different places and my hairline is terrible because of them. I asked for a buzz cut and came out looking like they put a Batman logo on the back of my head. don't recommend too worried about watching TV cutting hair. read more

Ruben is a master! Been going to him for about 8 months and every haircut is great. Consistently great service and barbering.

Tight fades and razor blades. This barbershop is top class. You'll be warmly welcomed and walk out feeling fresh. Personally, I appreciate how Ruben (the owner) is always telling stories and cracking jokes. Make sure to call ahead as his chair is in high demand. Would recommend to all my friends and family. read more

So glad Ruben had a cancellation today so he could fit me in. I finally found a barber that does excellent work in the area. The spot is clean and he asks you what you want or just let him make you look good. Looking forward to a long term relationship here. read more

Ruben's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Chatham, New Jersey

See all

Went there to get a simple fade before thanksgiving... worst quality haircut I've ever gotten. They had a new African American barber cut my hair and the guy wasn't paying attention at all and watched the office the whole time. Wouldn't have had an issue with that if he new how to actually cut hair. Ruben the main guy knows how to cut but his employee's definitely don't. Would only recommend based on the cheap price point but that comes with a high risk of a bad cut. It was just a simple skin fade and they cut my hair uneven on the top and was so choppy on the fade. Vibe is relaxed but they could make it look more organized for sure. read more

Ruben is my dude. Great, consistent cuts. Always takes his time and is extremely professional. Highly recommend.

Ruben is great at his job. Very good haircuts at a reasonable price, and very friendly service.

My old barber shop is too far now due to the pandemic as I used to go in the city. So I decided to try Ruben's out. My stylist was Narcy and she is amazing, she understood what type of hair I had how to style and cut it. And she was amazing at cleaning up all the edges down to the skin using a close razor. She took her time and was very precise, meticulous, and detailed oriented. I would highly recommend her. read more

Been to a few barbers in the surrounding area and Ruben gave the best cut by far. Always left every other barber wishing something was a little different but not this time. Couldn't be happier. Will be back for all future haircuts. read more

you can make reservations and he cuts your hair well. I love that I can be in and out in 20 minutes. Ruben's my man!

I sprinted out of work to find a barber still open around 6pm. Rubens was open after I confirmed with their shop over the phone. Barber: Lorenzo I got a skin fade and Lorenzo put a ton of effort into my haircut. He spent time making sure it was perfect. It's always hard finding a new barber when you move to a new area but I'll definitely be back for my cut with lorenzo next time read more

Ruben is a great dude. Gives a solid cut and beard trim. Listens to what you want and executes. Can't ask much more from a barber. Highly skilled. read more

I've lived in the area for over 15 years and originally juggled barber shops until I found Ruben, originally in Gillette but now in Chatam. Word of mouth from some of my guy friends made me try it out, and I haven't gone anywhere for a cut in the area since! Rubens a great guy with some serious skills in both simple and complex cuts for guys old and young. He gives the best shave, even compared to places in NYC that charge an arm and a leg for one. Big TV always has a good movie or sporting even on. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Excellent haircut, fair price and the guys are great. Moved to Chatham about a week before the opened, and I won't get a haircut anywhere else as long as I live. Update: moved away 2 months ago, I still come back here. read more

I've been going to Ruben for over a year. I was excited once I seen his shop set to open in Chatham. He keeps me looking fresh and crisp every two weeks. He can cut any style of hair and if he's unavailable, Ben is there to take care of you. Can't see myself going anywhere else and I'm glad I finally found a quality, local barber. Would definitely and have recommended to others. read more

Been looking for a place local to me that gives great fades and this is the spot! Ruben gives great cuts, has the top of the line equipment, keeps a clean shop and manages his appointments very well- I never really have to wait. Conversations are always enjoyable and it seems all of his clients are more like friends. Great place to get a cut... you won't regret it! read more

Possibly the worst haircut I've had. I asked for a 2 to 3 fade and the barber just cut around the sides with a 3-there was no fade. No more than 10 minutes were spent cutting my hair. Then, I get home and look at it in the mirror only to find there were patches of hair longer than the rest. It was a lazy haircut and I will not be back. read more

No reason not to go here.. good cut & I even caught up on a late episode of Friends.. no idea that whatsisname slept with whatsername .. wowzers read more

I had $23 for a haircut, didn't know it was $25 cash. No military discount, wouldn't cut my hair for $2 less in a pinch.
