I decided to come in here since I needed a new barber in the area since I moved 45 minutes away from my old barber and I am grateful I made the move. Adam, the owner, cut my hair and he was both genuine and great with his skills. People came in to drop by to say hi which I love to see and it seems like his family-established place is held in high regard in the community. The place is lined with awesome posters and a heavy punk influence, even hearing some 70s proto-punk when I got it (which I love by the way). The overall vibe II get is small town camaraderie with punk influence and great charm. I definitely found my new barber for years to come, but I want to recommend this place to everyone as well. read more

See all

Aside from giving great haircuts, they are always very friendly and accommodating. Having appointments makes it very convenient.

By far the best barber shop I've been to. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted and made to feel so welcome. Adam, Gabor and Joe couldn't be nicer guys. Super knowledgeable and they are truly all experts at their craft. I'd run here if I were you! read more

Absolutely love this place! I moved to the area 5 years ago and my first year I bounced around a few barbers trying to find the right one. Alex's Barber Shop has everything I was looking for. It has an old school feel to it but modern! Some old school places are so old that they need a renovation. This place is always clean, modern, cool and has great wall décor. Gabor, Adam and Joe are all terrific guys! They all have cut my hair and are all amazing. I will never go anywhere else going forward. I have been going here for about 3 years and I am happy to have found my spot! Highly recommend it if you are looking to find a permanent barber shop. read more

Alex's has been my go-to barber shop for several years since I moved to the area. Joe is my regular barber but I often see and speak with The Alex himself when I'm there. The shop is nothing but cool wrapped in smooth and oozes laid-back attitude. Whether you're chatty or more stoic, they'll read your mood and give you the experience you need in the moment. The quality of their cuts is top notch and I've never walked out of that place feeling or looking worse than when I walked in. Make no mistake, this is not a shop for your kids. At least, not if they aren't planning to go their jr prom in the fall. This is a place fun by adults for adults in the best way possible. Check out their selection of beard oils and hair products. I switched from a 10 year habit of wax to using their products for both my head and beard and I couldn't be happier. If you're in the Kenvil area and you want something better than Supercuts, go to Alex's. You will not regret it. read more

Great place for mens haircut. Barbers are knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend!

Alex's Barber Shop gives great haircuts, but their automated scheduling service leaves no option to contact the store directly. I'm going to take a hard pass on using them in the future. Too bad, I hope they snip their AI scheduling tool. read more

Great people. Great service. Very accommodating. Joe is a professional at what he does. Highly recommended.

This is a great barbershop. I've only gone once and it was really hard to get served as they were so busy and there is no sign-up list. It's a bit expensive for a gentleman's haircut in that area, but the price is just about worth it. I would more than likely go back next time I'm in the area and in need of a cut. Gabor did did a great job and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy, something you don't find in a lot of barbers. we talked about my upcoming trip to Britain and the bar scene in Philadelphia, where I actually live. He even bragged about the shop's Yelp reviews. Apparently Yelp reached out to them, wondering what they were doing so well that caused them to get universally great reviews? Giving good haircuts with quality service, obviously. read more

Had my first cut with Joe and couldn't be happier. Easy to book an appointment from the site. I generally hate going to a new place to get my hair cut because I hate having to explain what I want, but Joe took my, "make it shorter I don't really care my wife is making me get a haircut. Just don't mess up the beard" and did his thing. I'm happy, and more importantly the wife is happy. Highly recommend the guys here. They sent me home with a beard oil sample and I probably will be back to pick up a bottle. read more

Great barber shop. Cool stuff on the walls, nice people. Alex is the MAN! Had my first haircut after another shop butchered my hair. Alex straightened it out. Excellent cut. Great guy. Highly recommended. read more

I was bought up in the old barber shop era and have to say Alex's brings it back in a new way. Talk about getting greeted like a long time old friend, getting the cut and look you wanted by really down to earth people who not only treat the customers with respect, they treat each other with the utmost respect. Not only did I have the pleasure of getting my hair and beard done there, not only am I becoming a usual customer, they welcomed my 10 year old son there as well. They treated my son like they would treat an adult.They listened to him, talked to him and made him feel like he belonged, they complimented him for being respectful and polite and he absolutely loved his haircut. The place is beyond clean, friendly and inviting. Their shop is sharp and both relaxing and inviting. These guys know their stuff and don't disappoint. Give them a visit, you'll be glad you did. read more

I am so happy right now!!!!! I got a bad cut last week and I stepped into Alex's barbershop to ask if they can repair the hot mess this chick made of my hair. I was greeted and reassured I was in good hands! Joe cut my hair faded out the back and gave my Hair much dimension which it did not have. The cut is perfect and already I've gotten many compliments. Even though my hair is shorter than I'd like it(bc we had to chop a bit to get it to look better) I am in loveeeee with my cut and swear I'll never go anywhere else again!!! I'll add a picture soon! read more

Old school meets real world! This place is perfect! High end/casual, if such a thing exists. I just relocated to NJ and my fellow Yelpers steered me yet again in the right direction. First cut from Joe, perfect! Second cut from Gabor, perfect! I could go on and on but you get the idea. The atmosphere is great, the conversations awesome and the crew...real and down home as it gets. You can even book in advance online! I go every 14 days like clockwork. Great service, good prices, perfect cuts! Do like I did and make Alex's your shop too! You'll be glad you did! read more

You want a beautiful salon where they take 10 minutes to wash your hair? You want an ultra cool, ultra hip atmosphere? You want a hot brunette to cut your hair while she presses up against you? Well, you'll have to go someplace else. Alex's is more of an old school barber shop thats setting is more like a man cave than anything else. It's clean, simple and staffed with guys half the age of a true old school barbershop. The internet provided music also doesn't suck. While you sit and wait for your haircut you will have the largest selection of magazines this side of a library. These guys don't mess around. They'll make your doctor's office's selection of mags look pathetic. They are also masters with their hair clippers. I thought my son was getting a decent fade until Adam (one of the two brothers) cut his hair. The amount of time he spends, shaping and blending hair is pretty much like an artist with a paint brush. They are very detailed and precise. That equals a good haircut in my book. The brothers plus 1 are very friendly guys. Everyone who goes in seems to have been going for quite some time. If you want to save $2 get your ass in there before Saturday. It's $16 Tues-Friday, but $18 on Saturday. Don't bother rushing over on a Sunday or Monday, they are closed. They're solid guys and will have my business for years to come. read more

Always receive a top-notch haircut. All the barbers there are highly skilled and exceptionally personable. Gentlemen artisans.

My dream barber shop is a dimly lit, swanky and hip joint that offers me fine cognac, single malt scotch and fresh brewed espresso. They have those big old fashioned broken-in classic barber chairs. The soundtrack is new age funk. LCD TVs play sports and CNBC. Its run by master barbers who wield clippers with artistic finesse. And that straight blade, hot towel shave is always offered, along with manicures. The pool table and classic pinball machines (Playboy, Dark Knight and Kiss) provide entertainment while you wait, and high end hair and skin care products are available but never peddled. Confession: My utopic barber shop doesn't exist. That's why I go to Alex's barber shop. Everything that really matters is what you get at Alex's. Real deal, master barbers dishing out masterful fades, just right, each and every time. If you like beer, that's even better. No, they don't serve beer there, but they sure like talking about it! read more

Owners , awesome down to earth and very friendly. Shop defiantly has the right vibe to it . A mans atmosphere , very warm but speaks loud ! Prices a little on the high end , basic generic cut can be done for a lower rate , but overall the experience is well worth it . read more

Finding a new barber can be a difficult task for many (or maybe just me). Nobody wants to spend money an walk away with a bad haircut. The guys at Alex's barber shop are super friendly and make trying a new place out less painful. They are very talented and make you feel comfortable. I am normally the type that likes the way my hair looks a week after it gets cut, but I can honestly say I was happy with my hair walking out the door. Thanks Guys! read more

These fellow Magyars are the real deal. Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and cool. No gum chewing shore babe afraid to cut your hair the way you want it cut. Not many places to sit and wait, so be early, or stand outside. $22 USD plus a tip is competitively priced and well worth it. Didn't bring up their love of home brewing, but that will give me something to chat about when I return, Gabor and Adam are great guys and true professionals. read more

Finally found a real good barber shop. So tired of poor embarrassing haircuts from fresh recruits just out out of hairstyling school. I would tell them not to take too much off then walk out looking like a marine. These guys are great. Don't take too much off results in a good haircut where they don't take too much off. No more need to wear a hat up until bedtime. I can't tell you how embarrassing meetings are wearing a ski cap in the office. No more of that! These guys are the real deal. If you live near Kenvil, make these guys your new go to barber. read more

I just like a barber shop. I've been getting my hair cut from there for years. When their Father and Uncle were there. The boys given a great haircut and outstanding service. Good luck to them in new place!! read more

First cut at this shop the place has a real cool vibe to it, perfect cut, good conversation with the staff. I relocated up to this area and struggled to find a barbershop with a laid back cool atmosphere until now. Will definitely be a regular at this shop. read more

Phenomenal !! Have visited tons of barbers in area from HTown to Morristown, no one compares. When decided to culture a beard the brothers had great advice in nurturing , caring, growing and grooming my beard. The device takes you back to a time of gentlemen and ladies . read more

Alex's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Kenvil, New Jersey

I have been going to Alex's for over 8 years. This is one of the best shops around! They have more than 50 years of experience and it shows. Gabor and Adam, the owners, have a true passion for offering the best they can offer. I highly recommend them. Btw, if you are lucky you will also get recommendations for great restaurants too... read more

So glad I discovered this place. These guys give hands down the best haircut in the area, and their commitment to great customer service is evident in everything they do. Awesome chill vibe, great conversation, and you just can't help but root for these dudes to be successful. Adam is my go to for a great cut and he nails it every time. You can't go wrong here. read more

Top Notch Haircut and Conversation. The team here is great. Keep up the good work guys. My son and I had a great experience and will continue to come back. read more

Great local business. Have tried cuts with 3 different staff members and all delivered friendly service with attention to detail. Love the online booking. I would recommend giving them your business if you are looking for a quality cut at a fair price. read more

Great atmosphere, everyone is super friendly and best of all it was a genuinely good haircut

I've been going to Alex's for 17 years. The Dad and Uncle were incredible and now Gabor and Adam have not missed a step. Very high quality haircuts but as with the Dad and Uncle, it's the most fun I have all week getting a haircut. You have to ask them about the Larm... Also, my 18 year old son loves going there for a great haircut and wonderful discussions. read more

I've had long hair for my entire adult life, so when I decided to get it cut, I had no idea what would look good on me or how to ask for it if I did. When I arrived at this shop, the barber talked me through deciding what feel I wanted, suggested a particular cut, and went to work. I don't think I could possibly be happier with the results; every time I saw something I wasn't a hundred percent sure of, a couple minutes later he'd get to that spot and make it perfect. The two guys who run the place are young, but have a real old-fashioned sense of what a barber does. They've got themselves a loyal customer. read more

I went after researching hair places on Yelp. I knew there had to be a good compromise between a $12 bowl-cut you receive as a kid, and shelling out $40 for a luxury-salon experience. I was right. these bothers know how to cut hair, talk like men, and brew their own beer. Good prices and service. I'll be back. read more

I wish I lived in the area... this is an amazing barber shop. I got a great haircut from good guys. I'll be here everytime I'm in NJ.

I've been looking for a new barber shop for a while and this shop had exactly what I was looking for. It's casual, down to earth, and the barbers are clasically trained. Gabor cut my hair and was super helpful and knowledgable about mens cuts. My old shop used the disposable straight razor to finish off the edging but my skin is sensitive and I was prone to ingrown hairs. They abandoned the razor shave and exclusively use the clippers for a more natural and adult hair line. The price was reasonable ($22), wait time at lunch only about a half hour, service was friendly, and most importantly of all the cut was superb, I'll definitely be back! read more

I was struggling to find a good barber in the area, but was very happy to find Alex's. Got my hair cut by Adam. Did a great job and was skilled with his Oster and scissors. Gave me a great fade up too. He was very nice and made sure he kept the conversation going and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me a bit. He was also very professional and made sure he sprayed his Oster constantly. Had a great experience here and will definitely go back. The only thing that would set Alex's over the top would be if they straight razor shaved. They would be a completely authentic barbershop if they had that going for them. read more

Bravo. An excellent haircut. Unfortunately I found them at the end of my tour at Picatinny Arsenal, otherwise they would be my go-to place for a haircut. Highly recommended. read more

I just recently moved back into the area and was looking for a local barber. My girlfriend found Alex's on Yelp so I thought I would give them a shot. This place is the real deal. From the second you walk in you feel welcomed. Not only are they great at what they do but they are very proud to be third generation and to carry on the tradition of what their grandfather started. That alone speaks volumes. You all just gained a customer for life. Great cut and fairly priced. Skip going to one of those big box store names and give Alex's a try. You won't be disappointed. Excellent customer service and laid back atmosphere. That's my type of place. Keep up the great work. read more

Adam & Gabor are both really cool guys. Always have a good conversation to go along the great cut. The spot is old-school, but these guys keep it young and lively! read more

New place is great in Kenvil, the best barbers I have been to. This is how a men's barber shop should be.

I've been coming here for a couple months now and every time I leave more knowledgeable, either about hair or just life in general. Top to bottom these fine gentleman do an outstanding job and I'm not looking forward to having to find a new barber when I move to Austin this summer! "There is no simple haircut" read more
