High quality men's hair cuts with limited wait times ! Husband goes often and always gets compliments

Good haircut BUT she knew I was an out of towner so she charged me $40. I pointed out that I'm a senior citizen and her posted rate right at the checkout said $25 for seniors and she said no - you $40. It's too bad bc it was a nice session with good discussion on Bulgaria and Romania but she took advantage of me at checkout. Won't go back here ever again. read more

The price for a child's haircut was 30, but I was charged 35. I asked why and the owner told me, "he had a lot of hair." In my 40 years of going to a barber I've never heard of that. Not recommended. I would've given at least five for a tip. No tip for this cheapskate! Go anywhere but here! read more

I love this place, Adriana and Isabela are amazing! I feel really welcomed! Every time I go to get a haircut it feels like I'm back to my country. If you are looking for an old traditional and innovative haircut at the same time, this is your place. read more

I was looking very shaggy and in need of a new stylist, as my previous one is out on maternity leave. Having some time after visiting a customer in Rutherford, I turned to trusty Yelp and did a search and came Ames Barber Shop! Good reviews, nice pics, and walking distance from where I was. There's a sign out front stating "walk-ins welcome", and that what I did! Shop is staffed by a mother and daughter duo! Mom was there alone and a customer had just sat in her chair, so she said it would be a few minutes. Momentarily, daughter Isabela walked in the door ready to cut my hair! She's been cutting hair for 15 years and has the sharpest scissors in town! Have to see what my hair looks like tomorrow after I wash it, but so far, my haircut looks good! read more

Went in after getting a haircut I wasn't happy with and to my luck my girlfriend found this place on Yelp with solid reviews. I woke up all distraught knowing I'd be going on vacation with something I wasn't confident in. We walked in and was immediately seated after the previous patron was finished. I told her my situation and she got to work. With some magic of her skills she turned my haircut into something I am proud to walk around with now. I plan on coming back here in the future if my main barber isn't available. Thank you for saving my vacation and hope to come back soon. Hope this review helps! read more

Discovered this gem in Rutherford today. Clean, safe and so friendly. Also loved the haircut!! This is my new spot!!!!

A friend recommended this place and I couldn't be happier. Great haircut and a reasonable price. Bright and airy shop as well.

I found this place in the summer of 2018 and didn't go anywhere else but here. Amazing customer service, good price and most importantly, Adriana does an amazing job cutting my hair! Recommend 100% read more

Amens hair cutters are truly a 5 star hair stylists. Adrianna's experience with shears and buzzer on any type of hair will impress beyond expectations. Isabella's insight of modern styles and her cutting skill will leave you knowing you're with a professional. The atmosphere is comfortable, relaxed and accommodating. Thank you Adrianna and Isabella for making me look good. read more

Took me in last minute and talked me through everything. I would highly recommend this barbershop for a men's haircut.

A wonderful Mother and Daughter team. I take my son here as well and we always get exactly what we want. We moved to the area over a year ago and have never gone anywhere else. I've read some of the reviews complaining about long wait times???? Well, that just means that this place is popular. You'll see all types in here and they all come out satisfied! I highly recommend this place. Adriana and Isabella are the best! read more

I have been going to Ames Barber Shop for 20+, close to 30 years. Vinny was my barber back in the 80's, early 90's and loved going to his shop because I was always intrigued by the "gadgets" he had and the jar with the "blue water" in it that he used to dip the blades into (according to my mother). Plus I liked his cuts and he always remembered how I liked it trimmed back then (even if it was a terrible choice on my end, in hind sight), and I never went astray, always going back. Somewhere down the line, Vinny took in Adrianna as his apprentice. When you've had the same barber cut your hair for years, like most people, you politely say you're waiting for them. As time went by, and I became an impatient teenager, I didn't always wait for Vinny and I started sitting in Adrianna's chair. As I got to know her, it was apparent to me that she was a really cool lady of European decent that spoke multiple languages, including Spanish, and was very cultured and funny. Bantering in Spanish became our thing while she cut my hair. By that time, alternating between Vinny and Adrianna was no big deal because Vinny did a splendid job teaching Adrianna about the classic cuts, how to use a blade, etc. Basically, how to be a great barber. As I got older, my taste in haircuts did too. When I was experimental, Adrianna accommodated, when I wanted a simple traditional cut, she knew what to do. The same goes for now. I can always count on Adrianna, and now her daughter, to give me a professional cut whenever I walk in there. They're great at gauging what the customer may want, but are always about providing the cut that you want. Every time I go there, I see people of all ages waiting for a cut. Parents with their kids calling her auntie Adrianna, people inviting her to weddings, bringing her gifts from a trip they took, and so on. It's a testament to how she likes the environment in her shop to be, professional, yet friendly enough so that you always feel welcomed back. read more

Isabella and Adrianna are the best at men's haircuts! Best place to be a loyal client

Adriana is the best haircutter I've ever experienced...look no further... terrific shop and Sunday hours too!

The woman took over an hour for two customers then botched what I asked for her to do for my child's haircut THEN charged me an extra $5 because she used a buzzer and claimed that counts as two haircuts.... That is absurd. I left her a tip by accident. I will NEVER go here again. read more

Excellent haircut and excellent service. Isabella cut my hair - which hadn't been cut in several months. I felt like a long hair'd freak when I went. When I came out, I felt rejuvenated. She also trimmed my beard and eyebrows! I guess I needed some man primping! She seemed to know what I needed - which is a good quality to have. She was friendly and chatty - but not overly. This is another good quality. I don't really need to know their whole life story while sitting in the chair. Isabella talked just enough to make me want to go back again! I'd definitely return here when I am in the area. Thanks, Isabella! read more

Hubby comes here quite a bit. Brought the teenager and daughter did his cut. Fast efficient. Great ladies. Not expensive at all. Does scissor cut and trimmers Had to find aces that use scissors these days read more

Adriana could probably cut hair in her sleep without making a mistake.

5 Stars. I'm a recent transplant to E. Rutherford, and I was starting to look a little shaggy. I've tried one other shop in town a few months back, and it was good, but I wanted to try someplace new. The 5 star reviews here on Yelp drew me to Ames. First impression, the shop is great. Very clean, bright, well organized. Not cluttered, plenty of room. Tastefully decorated, no loud or obnoxious music. I was the only customer - at noon on Tuesday ( all I wanna do... is have some fun... ) As many of the other reviews mentioned, this is a mother daughter team. I got the daughter, as mom was chatting with a friend. It was a quiet day. I'm not sure where the mom is from, but listening to her brought me back to my days travelling all over. After listening to her for 20 minutes, I'm guessing Romania? The haircut was great. The daughter really knows her stuff. Some scissor work, but a lot of clippers, and it came out really nice. Great attention to detail. I feel like a new man. Daughter wasn't very chatty, but that's OK, I'm not into barber shop talk, I'd rather get a great cut. Price was a little bit more than I'm used to paying at a barber shop ($20, +tip), but given the size of the space, the fact that we're in NJ, and the quality of the cut, totally worth it. All in all, a 5 star experience! read more

I don't write reviews often but after today's cut I thought I should give some credit where it's certainly due. I just moved to Rutherford and needed to find a new spot. Unfortunately left my favorite Italian barber back at home, but I have to say I think I've actually found someone better. Adrianna does an amazing job. She is personable, talkative, and she really cares about making you happy (assuming you're not a rude douche). I appreciate how she is detail-oriented and treats the haircut like an artist would treat their masterpiece. I will definitely return to get the same level of service and attention, and to hear some great stories. I've yet to meet her daughter but I'm sure she is just as talented. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

In the past year, I have had a very difficult time trying to get a haircut in New Jersey. Place after place continued to butcher my hair and give me something completely different than what I've asked for. I'm originally from San Diego and have been getting my haircut from the same person for over 4 years so this past year has been challenging to say the least, especially because I am very particular when it comes to my hair. That was until a few days ago when I tried this place. Isabella with very little direction gave me the exact cut that I wanted. It was perfect. She truly is gifted at her trade and I will go no further when looking for a cut. I would highly recommend giving this place a try. Luckily there was no wait at the time that I came in. But I would gladly wait an hour or more for Isabella to cut my hair again. Thank you. read more

If you know what you want these two pretty ladies will make it look even cooler then you can imagine! just check out my hair on my FB pictures if you don't believe me ! read more

Second time there, waited over an hour since the stylist seemed more interested in talking while cutting another gentleman's hair and even taking a phone call out on the street. I waited patiently since my turn was next. However, the freed up stylist next to her called on another individual who came in 30 minutes after me . Both of these stylists ladies did not even call out, next. I got the impression, because i wasn't of their culture or nationality, they werent interested in serving the rightful next in line. If they spent less times talking on their phones, they'd be more effecient. After today, I will never return and give them my business. read more

Everytime I come to NJ, I have to get my haircut by Isabela, she's the best. She always remembers how I like it, and I'm a picky guy. I come all the way from San Diego, CA to get this special haircut. You're the best. Wish I lived closer to come get my weekly haircut. read more

I have finally found THE barbershop. Both Adrianna and her daughter, Isabella, are experts in this art. On top of that they are fun and professional. They will remember your name and haircut, and have many interesting stories to tell. Every time I go, I'm sure to take a business card or two to handout to friends and family. They are extremely well. $17-19 without tip will get you a men's cut and style. I have paid almost ten times this amount for a haircut (I am embarrassed to say that) but I have never had a better cut than at Ames. read more

Being from out of town, I wasn't sure about going to a different barber other than my own. Coming here truly brightened my day. Having a little OCD as I am, they were quick to comfort me and prove that their attention to detail was second to none. Highly recommended! Thanks y'all! read more

I went here because of the great reviews but got a very poor haircut. I hate writing bad reviews but here it goes. The lady did a horrible job. She didn't blend my hair correctly. I now have 2 different lengths instead of a blend. She barely asked me any questions of how I ware my hair and such. Very disappointed in the cut I got. read more

As other reviewers stated this place appears to be hit or miss. First visit - haircut was great. Second visit - one of the worst I've gotten. Would've been better off going to a Supercuts. That's said, if you need a cut- and they look empty and quiet, give it a shot. But if they're busy and people are waiting.. own the risk! read more

To get a professional haircut by a Master Barber such as Adriana is worth driving hours and hours and paying double! Very professional and highly experienced barber. Always a pleasure! I wouldn't go any other place for a haircut. Thank you! read more

I have been going to Ames Barber shop since 1995. I always get a 3.5 with a tapered back, the ladies always do a great job.

The best experience I've ever had at a barber shop. Adriana was a pleasure! It was my first time going there. I had only went there because they were open early. This is offically my new favorite place and the only place I will go to for a hair cut from now on! Thank you so much for your hospitality! read more

Got a great haircut and had a great conversation. Love the hot cream and straight edge shave for the back skin fade as well.

The best. I come in from NYC to get my hair cut by Bella.

I have been going to Ames Barber Shop for about over 3 years. I always go straight to Isabela. I found her through a friend reference and haven't gone anywhere else since. She is amazing! She suggested a new haircut over 3 years ago that every single person in my life loved. I wanted a change, so I asked about new style last week. She said no problem, it'll be beautiful! I put all my trust in her hands. Since Thursday last week, my coworkers, family, friends have been telling me over and over how much the new hair suits me. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with isabela at Ames Barber Shop !! You won't be sorry :) read more

Just a note to say that this has become my favorite barbershop, more so than any I have visited in the city. Terrific service. Adrianna is masterful and careful and has a lot of skill that she applies to every detail. Especially for someone with as little hair left as me! My beard is trimmed perfectly every time. Nice warm towel on the face afterwards. And not expensive. Highly recommended. And I might say to other yelpers, you will get best results if you are specific and talk about what you want in detail. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more
