First time there yet I felt like Irv treated me like a long-term customer. Did exactly what I asked for and I was very happy with the result. The shop itself is very clean and very comfortable. Big improvement over the last place I used to go. I definitely will be going back. read more

This is one of the best barbershops in central Jersey. Ahmed has been cutting my hair for almost 7 years consistently. His staff and associates are among the best in the business. If you are looking for any modern style they have you covered. I highly recommend booking in advance with Ahmed. His skills with the straight edge and fade game are unmatched. read more

They can give a good fade but lord help you if you ask for anything outside of that. I went there just today and asked for a scissor cut and to keep the top nice and long. Walked out of there with the same haircut as half the people in there. My barber destroyed my sideburns and cut off about twice the amount of hair I asked him to and left these big bald patches in my beard from where he was "styling" me. I would've asked for a refund if times weren't so hard right now but bottom line: if you want an Ivy League crew or a Dominican fade these guys are great, but outside of that you're taking your chances. read more

Amazing and affordable service! I've been getting my haircut from these guys for a year now and they never fail to disappoint. Very friendly group of guys that work there. Newly renovated and gives the place a smooth touch. Definitely a must try. read more

I think I've reccomended The Avenue to nearly all my friends in the Union County area, and for good reason. The sudden of emergence of the "cool guy" barbership is rappant all over Central and Northern Jersey. Modern, urban, sleek feel, with literally all the sports blasting on the TV screens. What sets these dudes apart is their service and great quality! No matter any time of day, the usual wait for me has been at most 15 minutes. And their prices are a true steal for the quality you get, as most of their competitors charge more but do barely half the job. read more

The Avenue Barber Shop is an overall great barbershop. The interior is very modern and new. All of the barbers are very great and take lots of effort in giving you the best haircut for a great price. All of the barbers are very kind in fulfilling the type of haircut that you want. The price is absolutely phenomenal for a top ten barbershop in New Jersey. read more

Best barbershop for the best prices and service - all the Barbers are phenomenal and extremely efficient & respectful. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

The barbers are ok, but the line moves really slow and it takes 3 people to move 1 person, if that even makes sense.

When I first moved down to this area I was very skeptical about finding a barber who would be able to cut my hair the way my old barber used to. I guess you can say old habits die hard. But after a recommendation from a friend at the time I gave this place a shot. I took the time one day and drove down to this barbershop and walked inside not knowing who anybody was and it felt like the first day of school When I walked inside I felt like the new kid in class and I did not belong here because I was so accustomed to my old barbershop and knowing everybody on a first name basis. For anybody that read this I'm sure you will understand the relationship between a man and his barber. I walked in with no expectations but was welcomed with open arms. Irv, Ahmed and Tito all were more then friendly and helped me find a barber who would suit my specific hairstyle even though now I know all their barbers are all talented behind the blade and could trust any one of them. (That's hard time say considering I'm one for consistency when it comes to who cuts my hair) To make a long story short it is now been two years and this is the only place I get a haircut and the only people I allowed to touch my hair. Never have I left this place upset or anyway disappointed after a haircut. All their haircuts are extremely thorough and a make sure you are satisfied and happy with how your hair looks before you walk out. They make great conversation and they're all amazing people who make a very comfortable environment even if you're waiting for a little while. I would recommend this barbershop to anyone looking to get a haircut in this area any given time. This is officially my regular place! Thanks guys! Just a friendly reminder to anyone visiting here this place is cash only! read more

My haircut with Shannon is always my first stop when I come to town to visit my parents. Simply put, she is the best. Thanks Shannon!

My husband is happy with his haircut! The price was great and service was professional and quick! read more

The Avenue Barber Shop - My husband is happy with his haircut! - Barbers Near Me - Colonia, New Jersey

Would give 0 stars if I could. Very bad wait time they take people that come after you before you. No professional service.

Really friendly barber shop. Karim did a really nice job on my son's hair and made him feel comfortable. We also didn't have to wait too long even though the place was packed on a Saturday morning. read more

These guys really know what they're doing !! There's about 3-5 barber shops around my area, yet I choose to drive half hour every week. Been doing that for the last 6-7 years and not a day of regret !! If you really want the best, this is it ! read more

$17 dollars for the amazing haircut they gave? Yes please. The place is clean and bright and the staff is so friendly. The free parking lot is a big plus. Came in as a walk-in at noon on a Sunday and was seen almost immediately. Great store! Will make this my regular spot. It was so hard to find a barber shop open on Sunday too! read more

There's a reason this place always has so many customers . Professional , extremely clean , service friendly business . Walking in to The Avenue, rest assured you will be getting a great hair cut for a great price with great customer first policies.

With so many "barber shops" around, for me there is no other option than The Avenue if you want to walk out feeling a million bucks ! Thanks guys ! read more

My bf was looking for a new barber in our area and we found "The Avenue Barber Shop" through Yelp & IG. I called the shop before he went in because I wanted to find out their pricing and wait time as it was a Sunday. The guy who answered the phone was friendly and quiet helpful in explaining the price and what it consisted of. He stated that a Male cut along with beard was $28 which to my experience is very good because a lot of places in this area is very expensive and isn't worth it. My bf went to the barbershop and Karim (Kimo) took care of him. He mentioned the shop was very clean and all the barbers were friendly and welcoming. He said upon sitting on Kimo's chair, Kimo asked him what he was looking to get and my bf showed him some pics so he can get a better idea of what he wanted. Kimo interacted with him throughout the cut while still being professional. He did a great cut and he tapered and faded my bf's beard very well. He will definitely be going back to this shop and it's highly recommended. read more

Great experience, great price. Super clean shop. It is cash only as a fyi. Jose does a great job. I will definitely be going back.

Ahmad, the owner is very skillful and very courteous craftsman that I have ever met. Took time to explain different styles and although there was huge line but I was on chair in no time. Totally worth checking it out. read more

Ahmed hooked me up great haircut definitely coming back AA++. Gave him a few ideas what I want and he came back with a winner

This is definitely one of the most professional barber shops I have been too. Ahmed truly an expert when it comes to hair cuts. The barbershop has free WiFi, very clean shop, and a lively upbeat environment. Best of all prices are extremely reasonable as opposed to other barbershops. read more

Im just happy i found a clean barber shop with an extremely professional staff. This place is excellent i promise. Staff will treat you with respect...and they all are really good, never had a bad experience...recommended this place to 4 friends so far and they all switched over i guarantee you will too read more

I never really write reviews for places, but I had a great experience at this place. The owner (I believe) was very welcoming and personable. The experience felt very natural and professional. I normally will just trim my own hair, but I needed a cleanup and decided to check this place out since im right down the street from it and it had just opened. The guy who cut my hair (I should've asked for his name) cut my hair exactly how I had envisioned it and asked for. I asked for a fade on the sides and trim on top, which he did very well. I could tell he knew exactly what he was doing and listened. My past experiences with barbers are rushed and cookie cutter.. And I will normally even fix it up when I get home with a buzzer, but this was clearly not the case. He also shaved my neckline which was not expected, which I was pleasantly surprised by. What really blew me away was the price. The whole experience only cost me 15 dollars, which is unheard of. The place is brand new, the tools from what I saw are up to date, and the decor is modern. I would definitely recommend this place. We need more quality barber shops like this. read more

Checked a bunch of different shops like razorsharp and went there for a haircut with the owner and it wasn't as good as going to the Avenue with Ahmed. Really good price and a really good cut. Will be coming back. read more

Best Barbershop around. beein going to Ahmed and Irv for years now and i just let them do their thing and always get a nice cut.

This is the best barber shop I've ever been to in NJ by far. Very clean, excellent barbers, and spacious as well. All of the barbers there are extremely talented so you don't have to wait for that one good barber like you would at other barber shops. read more

Bunch of real bros running the barbershop. It is clean and has some funky art on the walls. My barber was thorough and even trimmed my beard for no charge. Only downside - cash only. But they got an ATM. Quite satisfied with my experience. read more

Was next door at the vape shop and decided to give the Avenue a shot. I am so glad I did. The shop is brand new and so exceptionally clean. The barbers are very talented and I had a great haircut, shave and beard trim. They even offer you a cold beverage. I live half an hour away but I will be back for my haircuts regularly. read more

When I first walked in, I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted but I wanted to change whatever I had going on up there. I gave the barber, Ahmed, a few guidelines of how I usually like my hair, length, etc, and let him take care of the rest. It surprisingly came out really nice, best part I didn't have to struggle on how to get it that way for next time, he remembered right away. That's what I call a barbershop. Place is nice and clean too, ac on, TV on, plenty of seating. Definitely my go to barbershop from here on. read more

Was In need of a new hair cut place. Since my last place closed. By far one of the best haircuts I have ever gotten! Definitely going to become a regular! read more

I don't have a "go-to" barber here, but this is my go-to shop. I've gotten haircuts here for the better part of a year, rotating between three of the guys there, and I've left happy every time. Friendly, courteous, and professional staff with lots of know-how and pride in what they do. No matter who has cut my hair, I've had no regrets, and for this, I highly recommend The Avenue. read more
