I was surprised one afternoon at work when a guy handing out fliers, came up can offered a half price first haircut at his new barber shop in Downtown Newark, right off broad street on Central Ave. I'm a huge supporter of anyone willing to leave a steady paying job and sell all they have to open a business on their own especially when the city promises to help, yet again, never comes though so I felt it my duty to help these local businesses and take a chance on them whether or not he would hold up to my standards of the West Village $110 cut (i know it's dumb) Well he did and went far beyond with an amazing (WHITE GUY) Hair Cut and trusted him by the 3rd time for a strait razor shave which rivals that of Madison Ave with the eucalyptus & Tea Tree Oil preparations on a hot towel. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS IF YOU LIVE OR WORK IN DOWNTOWN NEWARK, NJ and YOU DO NOT GO SEE THEM AT SEVENTY-SIXES YOU ARE THE FOOL! read more

Seeing a 4.8* review, I called them to ask if they accept credit cards, today (Saturday, 2/25). The person on the phone said they do. Then I asked what is the rate, they said $15 for a regular men's hair cut. With the assurance, I went to the shop. The organization and cleanliness of the place reminded me of barbershops in India where I would pay 50 cents for a hair cut. The place was reeking of ammonia and their were small clusters of hair around, as I entered the person who would cut my hair used a big piece of covering cloth to blow off all the hair on the chair, sending hairs in all direction. However, he was very nice and gave me a good hair cut. During the process, I could not see my hair even once as there were obstructions between the mirrors and chairs due to poor organization. I also noticed that there were two different prices for hair cut $12 for a rush hour hair cut and $15 for a regular. So, I assumed that $12 was for a weekday hair cut. After the professional was done with my hair, I presented my credit card only to be told that they only accept cash. Minor inconvenience. I ran to the nearest ATM and got cash. I asked the barber the cost and was told $20. I did not ask any further questions and paid up the sum and left. As I left the shop I realized that even if I willingly paid 20% tip the cost should have come out to $18 and NOT $20. To sum up: Pros: Close to my university and I was satisfied with my hair cut. Cons: Not clean. Not organized. Credit Card Policy not clear. DISHONEST!Di read more

After reading other reviews, I would have to think that things have changed from a year ago since I've had nothing but a good experience. I've been going to NJIT for three years and it's hard to find a good barber for a good price especially when you're far from home. I've only gone twice but I already know I'm going to be going back for the remainder of my last year. I asked for a fade and got the cleanest fade I've gotten in a while. I had big events the day after and was fully prepared and ready after coming here. Ask for Anthony cause he really had me saying "oof!" after how clean he made me look. read more

Had one of the worst experiences of my life at this barbershop. I asked for a bald shave on my head and it kinda hurt/ felt weird during the cut like if he was just using the blade without the switch thing but thought... maybe my skin is just sensitive. After I left I realized dude shaved me with a razor blade and sliced up my entire head. I was bleeding and in pain for a couple days. Luckily I wear hats. read more

Nice staffs and clean cuts but not my style. But I can tell this place is one of the best in newark. I recommend this place for people who want short haircut. read more

I got a haircut here earlier today. I have only been to Korean stylists but I had no choice but to go here because my hair was going out of control. Showed the barber a picture of the cut I wanted and he actually did a great job. Pretty close to what I wanted. I think I should have explained the style I want along with the picture and would have gotten a haircut closer to what I wanted. I did have to make minor adjustments when I got home but I was really satisfied. I am definitely coming back here for future haircuts. But next time, I will be a bit more specific and explain exactly what I want. read more

This business is misrepresenting their prices. There is a large banner on the wall which states a regular hair cut costs $12. After the haircut was over, however, the barber told me it would be $21.50, without tip. Definitely the most expensive haircut I've ever had. read more

The worst experience I have ever had at a barber shop. Place was hot no ac, the sign said 6+ for a beard trim and shape up and ended up paying 12 and then there was a 2 dollar fee for using a credit card yet my total was 15 dollars and it took him five minutes. Very disappointed with the actual cut which I can live with because hair grows back. What I can't live with is the machine was literally cutting me and I told the guy he used another machine and it did the same. After shave is more like pure alcohol which is not good to get in your eyes either. Got home and my whole neck is bloodshot red and one side of my face is cut. Would strictly tell you to run away! read more

I don't know the name of the barber I had but he literally did not have a clue. The dude couldn't fade or scissor cut hair at all. Not saying this place can't cut hair but beware of this one barber who works there. He's got a big fro and a weird looking beard. I had to go to another barber in the area to fix what he did. read more

Went here on a whim for a good haircut. Was greeted friendly and was cut by the owner of the shop (forgot his name). He was extremely detailed and professional. Got a beard trim and a haircut for $20. The experience, quality, professionalism, and vibe of the place is much worth it. Will be back again read more
