Went there for a haircut for my curly hair, extremely satisfied with the cut and price! would visit again:)

Very nice customer service and very friendly. I requested a hair cut and would rate the experience very calming and had overall great service. Cheap price for good quality service. Mrs. Leonor was the best! Would definitely go back again! read more

Good spot for an in between cut - they can do a buzzer but it sometimes gets a little dicey with the scissors.

As a curly girl it's really tough to find a suitable hairstylist who knows how to cut with care and understanding of your curls. I went to Leonor for a cut because she is my mom's stylist and I was not disappointed! She was really sweet and listened to what I had to say regarding my hair rather than brushing it off like most stylists. I asked for a trim, more volume at the top, and shaggy bangs. She washed my hair and cut all but left the bangs for last. She did not cut too much and let me use my own curl products and diffused to see how short the curly bangs became. When we realized I needed it a bit shorter she went back in (dry cut) then diffused the rest. I am honestly so shocked by how fast but careful the cut was. I get really picky so I'm happy with her methods. Definitely soothed my anxiety to get curly bangs for the first time. Go see Leonor! Also it was so affordable! (Around $40/$50) read more

X-Press Cuts - Hair Salons Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Meh. My haircut and the experience wasn't great, but it'll do for being the cheapest place in JC.

Moving to a new neighborhood (or city, for that matter) can be a daunting experience. Searching for essential goods and services, whether a laundromat, a barber, or Indian takeout, can involve a bit of trial and error. I've been coming to X-Press Cuts every 2-3 months since I moved to Downtown Jersey City from the suburbs 4+ years ago and have always gotten a good trim. The place isn't big, it isn't fancy and can get quite crowded at times (walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are recommended), but you'll get fine service from anyone there. And you won't go broke in the process: a basic men's cut is $20, and every 8th cut will score you $5 off your next. A convenient location across the street from City Hall and just down the street from the Grove Street PATH keep people coming back. Just be forewarned: X-Press Cuts deals only in cash. read more

Absolutely butchered my hairline. Don't even think of going here. $30 is way too much for a bad haircut

Convenient location on Grove st. Walking distance fromPath train station. Had a hair cut. They did a great job. read more

X-Press Cuts - Pricing - Hair Salons Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I had and unpleasant experience with Elizabeth today. I came in with my curly hair past my shoulders. I explained to her what I wanted. She kept insisting that she was correct and knew what she was doing. I kept stating that she was cutting my hair way to short and it was not what I wanted. I wanted to have it to the bottom of my chin and she chopped it up to nose length. I believe it was extremely unprofessional of her to not listen to what I wanted. Even after the fact she still said i Was wrong and that when it would dry it would look better. That was absolutely not the case. I ultimately had to go to a different salon to fix the damage she had done. I am highly unsatisfied with the service she has provided me today. I do not recommend her as a stylist. read more

I explained what I wanted and the woman told me to come back the next morning. Perfect. I did. She did an amazing job. I mean, beautiful, a FULL HEAD of highlights (and I have a lot of hair) done really well. And she worked quickly and easily - I was done in a little over an hour. She was amazing.And she was going to blow it out straight for no extra $$ but I had to leave. She toweled it and dried it a bit anyway. Come on, this would have easily been over $200. everywhere else.. And what did I pay? $85. WHAAAAT!!! OH and PS the weekend after I decided I wanted even more highlights ... she charged me like $50 to do like another 10 foils. She's the best! read more

I normally don't write reviews but I thought I needed to write this one because a haircut is something you're gonna have to deal with for a good month.(whereas a bad meal can instantly forgotten about) I moved to the area a couple months ago and figured I would try this place out since it's the cheapest place around. I asked for "#3 buzzer around the sides and back, and keep it a little longer on top with the scissors". The woman cut off way too much on top. I like to have the top longer since it's starting to thin and I want to it show as little as possible (I'm 26). I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went again today (about 6 weeks later). I got a different woman (don't know any names), and asked "#3 buzzer around the sides and back, and keep the top quite a bit longer". Same exact thing. Evenly short the whole way through the top with clearly my scalp showing. I don't know what the women hear in this place, but it's not what the customer is saying. I'll be spending a little extra money for a different barber. read more

Just moved to area. Desperate for a trim on a Monday when no salons are open. Thought why not as I ONLY wanted a trim. Told the lady 2 inches, showed her exactly how much, she agreed and said that's what I was thinking. She chopped off so much hair, I am still in shock. 4 inches gone. I gues. You get what you pay for. I was later told by some locals I should not have gone there. I wasn't looking for luxury or a new haircut but she couldn't have cared less. Buyer beware. read more

Trepedation, anxiety, agitation, nervousness, inner turmoil...YAH, this is what I feel when I gotz to get my beautiful spikes trimmed by a new stylist. My Pacific Islander Spikey Hair = Alpha Male Status. Leonor put my fears to rest. Her son went to the same highschool as I did (Go St Peter's Prep!), she's very calm, knows how to drop a hot fade on a brotha...she wields the buzzer like King Arthur did Excalibur....SKILLZZZZZZ, babay. Serenity now! read more

I had my hair done over there twice. Both times by a very nice lady, Mercedes. First time I was very happy as she spent a lot of time making sure the cut is perfect. Not second time around. I guess they were busier and you just have to do it quicker when more people are waiting... I now have some weird spots of long hair where it's supposed to be shorter and vice versa. If you go, try a less busy time of the day/week. They do accept cards now. read more

I am very disappointed in my haircut after what was my first and will be my last and only visit to this place! The woman DID NOT LISTEN TO OR UNDERSTAND ME! Several times I indicated that I wanted my hair cut to a shoulder length bob, I even repeatedly gestured to my shoulder and communicated the estimated number of inches to cut. What I got was a chin length bob that doesn't really look even and is waaay too short!!! She started in the back where I couldn't really see and by the time she got to the side it was too late to change. You NEVER pick up the scissors before asking what the cliient wants, and you NEVER EVER start cutting unless you are 110% sure you know exactly what they want! I reluctantly paid and tipped 15% and left never to return... read more

I just got what easily qualifies as amongst the top 3 worst haircuts I've ever gotten. The guy who gave me the hair cut doesn't speak English well, so it was hard to know if he actually understood anything I said. I read a previous review that said that they cut hair too short - and boy, it is true! After telling him that I want a medium haircut, he pulled out his electric hair clipper and zoomed passed the hair on my sides and back. When I told him that this feels short, he said "Oh I'm going to use scissors for the hair on the top". Umm, what? Does that even answer my question? The place seems to be super 'X-press', wanting to get customers out as fast as possible. He never spoke a word during the cut. He didn't even offer me the hand mirror so I could see the back side of my head. The part that hurt the most was that in the end when setting my hair, he pulled all the hair to the back with his comb. Clearly he didn't understand that my hair style involves combing hair to the sides and not to the back. Now wonder I got a bad haircut. Sorry, but I'm very disappointed. read more

I ask for Mercedes; she is pleasant and friendly. But not overly-chatty as are those hairdressers who stop cutting to talk, thus overly lengthening the visit. Have had my haircut here about three times and am very happy with the results. They charge me half what I was paying before for the same cut. I've never had a problem making an appointment--I may call an hour ahead or just walk in; perhaps I wait 10-15 minutes. read more

I've been getting my hair cut here consistently for almost 2 years. They do a solid job. I don't have a go-to barber - but the they all take their time and give a solid haircut. They are all very friendly. Probably the cheapest haircut you'll find the grove st/paulus hook area (if it's not, please let me know!) Cons: cash only, can get very busy once the work crowd gets out, closed mondays read more

Came here twice, and both times very disappointed about my haircut experience there. The staffs are very very nice and friendly, but they just don't know how to haircut... read more

Without a doubt one of the absolute BEST places I have ever gone to for my haircuts!!!! I first went there over a year and a half ago after my son-in-law recommended them, and the resulting cut was spectacular--in fact, I went to a wedding a week later, and I NEVER received so many compliments on my hair! I like to keep my hair short--and I mean short-- as well as edgy and chic. I've gone to so many salons over the years--including high-end salons such as Vidal Sassoon in NYC--and X-Press Cuts is equal to all of them and surpasses most of them. Just got back from X-Press Cuts, and once again I am SO HAPPY! I'm not going anywhere else from now on! Special mention to Mercedes and Eleanor (hope I'm spelling their names right). Price is just right. They also color, wax, and do nails. Appointments aren't necessary, so you may have to wait--but trust me, it's worth it! read more

I do not at all recommend this place. They don't know how to cut hair. Thoroughly unprofessional. Looked like they were cutting for the first time. End result was worst. I had to go to another place to get my hair fixed and aligned. Don't go because it's cheap, the result is much more worse and you'll end up spending more than you expect for single haircut like me. Hope this helps. read more

I've been here twice and the first time the blonde lady cut my hair uneven. Then the second time not too long ago I asked to get my hair dyed a certain color & she did nothing I asked for & messed up my hair. I ended up leaving without the color I wanted and without paying. She was so rude as well, very unprofessional. Never going here again. read more

No hair cutter has ever given less fs about how a haircut I've had than this hair cutter. "You want short?" Showed no pride in the job or respect for the customer. I get this isn't a fancy salon, but when people just don't care about their job or the customer, that ain't right. "You want short?" I responded, "uh, yeah, I would like a haircut. Trimmed on the sides. Blended. Not much off the top." She slapped on clippers and just plowed through. Didn't ask if I wanted scissors or clippers, what number clippers, how I wanted sideburns or back. Didn't shave neck. Would have been better off just buying clippers myself. "You want short?" SMH read more

The man in there cutting hair is absolutely terrible and doesn't give a shit about what you want or say. The last thing I told him was not to cut it short and I want to keep my hair in front of my ears and the first thing he does is hack inches off the side of my head. He'll do the exact opposite of what you want and not give a fuck after. How hard is it to listen to the damn customers? read more

Openly racist. As a well traveled attorney, I have dealt with all sorts of people and situations. It is rare that I am shocked. I cannot recall ever having encountered naked racism, however, so my experience at this place yesterday left me speechless and taken aback. Apparently, there are still people in the world who believe it is okay to tell nonwhite people that they don't serve them. I stepped into this place seeking a basic trim. I never got the words out. As soon as the stylists laid eyes on my short, curly mane, they all exchanged looks of open horror. One stylist, a woman in her 40s or 50s, quickly ran up to me and announced, "No, no, baby, we don't do your kind of hair." I tried to explain that I just want a basic cut, but she kept interrupting me with vigorous shakes of her head and repeated nos. She then grabbed me by the arm and marched me outside the premises. I was too surprised to react in the moment to her putting her hands on me. As soon as she had half dragged me outside, she pointed me to a salon down the block, announcing loudly "THAT is where they do YOUR kind of hair." The salon she pointed me to was called N'Joy and is run by a black woman. I suppose Xpress Cut still believes in segregation? People on the street were staring at me after her declaration and I was humiliated. I am beyond appalled. I hope anyone reading this helps me communicate the message that racism is not acceptable in America by shunning this place. read more

I'm not sure where all these positive reviews came from, maybe from men where a haircut is just a routine for them. As a woman, I had a terrible experience here. The service was awful. I went with me fiance the morning of our engagement party. We had an appointment, he was done on time and honestly got a great cut from the only man working. Leanor took me half an hour late!! Then she left me after washing my hair to finish with someone else, leaving me waiting another 10 minutes. I was so stressed waiting for her because we had a million other things to do that morning. She had quoted me $35 on the phone for a wash, cut and blow dry which is the only reason I went here- when she was done she charged me $55!! I told her that was not what she told me the appointment would cost and she said she had to charge me twenty more dollars because she used a flat iron- which I never asked her to do. I was late and spent way more than I wanted to (which is not easy when it's cash-only) in order to sit in a dirty salon and leave with flat hair. I will not be going back. read more

I have tried all the hairdressers there. And no one knows how to cut hair. They know just one style-cut hair as short as possible. Even if you tell not to cut too short, they all do it. Because that's what they know. And for $20, heck no. Avoid unless you want the army cut. Every man coming out of there has very short hair like army guys. read more

Quick haircut but a little uneven. Only $20 but I'm sure there are better places around town.

I will never go here again. The lady did the opposite of what I asked her. She lost focus as soon as she saw she had another client waiting for her. I asked her not to take off much length as I was trying to grow my hair and asked her if she could add a little bit of layers or volume at the front part. She ended up layering the back of my hair and cutting it way shorter than I wanted. She did not give me her card or even ask me what I thought. She pretty much rushed me out of the chair once she finished butchering it. Thumbs down and never going there again!!! read more

Mercedes has been cutting my hair monthly since I moved to JC over a year ago. My wife likes the way it looks, so it must be good! I do keep it short, but by no means "military style" as some other reviews mention. This is not a luxury salon or hipster barber. it's simply a quality, affordable haircut that works for me! read more

Horrible horrible place. Just came out of there. Realized she messed up bad in the back of my head

Leanor is the best. I have gotten haircuts elsewhere in a pinch and am never satisfied. Leanor has had to rescue me from some bad cuts. If you go to Xpress cuts, ask for Leonor. read more

I've been relying on Lenore for my hair cuts for a few years now. She has a great eye, is very attentive, has a great memory for what I want and always manages to have time when I come by. And it's all at a really great price. read more

This is the best salon in Jersey City. If you want highly skilled stylists for minimum price, as well as four-star treatment, come to X-Press cuts. You will not be let down. If you are sick of paying hundreds of dollars anytime you want a cut or color, but want top-notch service, you should not go anywhere else. They will take credit cards, but cash is better. read more

I have been getting my hair cuts here for over an year. They have been patient, reliable and friendly, what else do you want. We got a couple of haircuts for our 3 year old and it was great experience. read more

Lenore is great -- quick cut and nicely done. Men's haircuts are $20. Walked in around lunch time on a weekday and was in the chair within 5 minutes. Very happy customer! Only criticism would be that they don't take cards... there's no need for that these days! read more

I just moved to Jersey City and was looking for a place to get my hair done. I originally went to a hair salon near by and they DESTROYED my hair! I was mortified, I asked for long layers and instead I got the opposite. My hair does not grow as fast as others so naturally I panicked and walked back home. On my way home I saw this hair salon called x-press cuts. Hoping they could fix it I decided to walk in. I can't emphasize how grateful I am to have seen this place. The lady who seems to be the owner calmed me down and offered me a bottle of water. I explained what happened and asked if there was anything that could be done. She told me not to worry and she was right! 5 stars here!!! I must say that I walked out as a happy customer read more

Great haircut. They seated me right away. Price was $20 which is more than I'm used to paying for a haircut but I didn't mind because I really liked how my hair looked read more

No complaints--a quick haircut at a reasonable price. Exactly what I was looking for.

I went to X-Press Cuts for the first time today for a haircut and a single-process color. Leonor cut my hair beautifully, with long layers in the back and face-framing layers in front, just as I had requested. She clearly has a good eye for shape and proportion. She was also very warm and personable and I just felt very comfortable with her, which was another plus. The haircut, color and blowout cost a total of $85, which is a bargain, considering the more upscale hair salons I've been to have charged $110 or more for the same services--and my hair didn't even end up looking as good! But as the previous sentence indicates, X-Press Cuts is a no-frills hair salon, so this is not the place for you if you're looking for something more luxurious. read more
