This place is so frustrating because if my girlfriend and I break up, then I'm going to have to travel from the Upper East Side of Manhattan to Point Pleasant, NJ for the sole purpose of getting a haircut (gf's family lives in Ortley Beach). And I'll do it if I have to. Seriously. I'll take a train from Manhattan for 95 minutes just for this haircut. Shane (? Apologies if I spelt your name wrong) did exactly what I wanted. I've gone through hundreds of these city barbers and they either don't listen or don't change their ways. In fact, if my partner and I get into a heated argument? The thought of losing out on this place will likely temper it on my end. read more

I went to this place as a walk-in because I wanted a change from the person who usually cuts my hair, and I was fed up with how it was looking in hot, humid weather. I was told by the owner (Shain) that I'd have to wait for a bit, and then she got me in her chair about 25 minutes later. I walked out about 25 minutes after that with one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I will definitely be back. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she explained why my hair wasn't right for that cut - then she used her expertise, a hair straightener, and some product to give me EXACTLY what I wanted! I will definitely be back to see Shain. I told her how happy I was and that's when she told me that she doesn't usually cut women's hair. Ha! If she had said that in the beginning, I might have had doubts but she did an awesome job. Thanks, Shain - see you the next time I need a cut! read more

I walked in for a last minute haircut and they gave me somebody that never ever ever ever ever cut hair. I don't know how a barbershop could do that they had no training and no sense of what to do. I do not recommend this place. read more

You can tell they mean business when they take their time cutting your hair other than your standard barbers.. because these aren't your standard regular ol' barbers. Went there Friday before July 4th weekend around Noon and the place was pretty packed.. there was a waiting list.. or you could choose to make an appointment (which I recommend, to shorten wait time) although I waited, it was well worth it. Barber * Dom * The barber I got gave me probably one of the best haircuts I've had in a very long time. He took his time, he was professional, smooth, and the coolest part is, which I didn't realize.. was that I wasn't facing the mirror when getting the haircut. You actually face other people with the mirror behind you.. and when it's finished?... Viola!.. you get the final result.. Highly recommended for anyone!.. Saw lots of family brought their kids in which was awesome! Will definitely come back! Thanks guys! read more

Well this is odd because normally women don't sit in a barber shop. (Mens get away) but here I am sitting in a barber shop while my boyfriend gets his shape up. And its amazing! There are two women barbers currently and a man. You can tell they all know what they're doing. They take their time and the lines are perfect. Recommend any man to come here. Not sure if they do women hair but highly recommended. read more

Terrible customer service, the place says they take walk ins, when they feel like it. Don't stop and expect to get a hair cut the same day. The guys there wonder around after every cut an if they feel like taking a walk in on Sunday's is like whatever since is not their business. It's a shame the way this business is run on weekends when owners aren't there. The white dude with no beard at all guy name Dom cutting straight behind the counter all the way to the wall a complete dushhhh, acts like is his place disrespectful with customers like his time is more valuable. They don't take walk ins on Sundays so don't bother won't be surprised if they don't any other day of the week This place is by appointment only and must be made 3 days or more in advance. The guys there are not customer service friendly. read more

Terrific haircut and amazingly good people. Worth the extra cost due to covid, need to keep these kids working and support them! read more

My low score is due to both times I've taken my son here the apprentice girl messes it up. then she gels it to hide it so her boss won't see it. clever.. the costumer won't have a complaint till later. well here it is... I've also had my hair cut by the same girl and I wasn't happy with the look. took too much hair after explaining what I wanted. 3x's your out right? her attitude matches that of a teenage girl who does what she wants. she just shouldn't be cutting hair. she's probably kicked around shops washing hair, styling and answering phones. she needs to sweep up hair and stay away from people in general. no costumer service or professionalism. if you go here don't bother with any of them except the owners. save your tips fellas this place is starting to line up with the egotistic tattoo artist dilemma . we all know it well... artists think they're all the best and make you "the customer" feel second best. factly I believe that's the exact theme they where going for with this place.. little business insider for you here so listen up. a Ferrari is a Ferrari but a Ferrari with unlicensed, immature, unskilled and or unprofessional drivers your not getting anywhere in rush hour! not to mention your not even Ferrari status with this show. your more like a rented a Porsche who's repo is coming if they don't get it right. read more

Hi You'll be seeing more of me in the weeks to come. I get my head shaved just about every week and have had significant issues finding a decent barber who does it correctly. When I found one shop in Toms River that did a good flat top, they raised the prices considerably and the customer service skills are deplorable. Like, for example, you have a client in the chair and you decide you are going to run next door for coffee! Or the barber shop is standing room only and you as the owner, decide you are taking lunch leaving your employees to no break or lunch and the burden of clearing chairs. Yes, I am extremely picky about my head. My cousin is a salon owner in Beverly Hills so growing up with her I have an idea how I prefer my hair managed. Since moving "down the shore" I've had nothing but negative experiences. I even had one barber who owns a barber shop tell me midway, through the flat top, " I can't do this". I was left with striations in my head and a crooked flat top. I went to Bridge Ave today with much hesitation. They were packed. Many people were getting "Sam Hunt" style hair cuts with the heavy hair glue. Well, who gets flat tops anymore? Cops. Firefighters. EMS. I'm a retired cop and in EMS so there. I sat for Phil. I explained they normally use a norelco to clear the sides and back and he said no problem. Next thing I knew I had a straight edge on my head. I used to go to a guy in Nutley who did straight edge flat tops. He was 89 and died many years ago now. What a great job Phil did too! I was turned around so I couldn't see what he applied to my head but it was cool and soothing. I have no complaints at all. The shop is very organized with a greeter. The motif is perfect for the Point! The people were professional and not cursing or have inappropriate programs on the tv so kids can be there. Just an overall great experience. So thank you. Thank you for bringing old world ideas and integrating it into a modern day barber shop. Joh read more

Bridge Ave Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Most if not all places I've ever been to or had to wait at in the business of cutting hair has been less than pleasant for a long time. "Chop shops" are a noisy, crowded mess, with people buzzing around like flys while parents coach on how to do something they've paid another person to do. A salon will reek of product while gossip ricochets back and forth across the room. The people are always different, but each business doesn't seem to look all that different from one another. So what of a barbershop then? When I hear the words "barbershop" I typically think of an old man in a wood paneled shop with the walls covered in portraits of people too old and dead for me to know; the entire experience is dull from beginning to end, but then again I've never really had any sort of fun at a barbershop. That was until I began visiting this one. Instead of hair style portrait books and celebrity news magazines there's a hundred page manual on batman and his equipment. Every time I return there appears to be more and more funny shore-related doodads hanging from odds and ends around the room. The barbers are warm, personable, and unabashed by their radical take on the barbershop experience. By and far what I love most about the establishment is the visible amount of heart and effort that has been put in since the very begining with continued growth. Heck, the place didn't even have a front desk at first and now they've got a sign-in sheet and a card catalog to keep track of the customers, their birthdays, and how they prefer to have their hair cut. When a Facebook page for a business shows an update on my news-feed I typically scroll on by without another thought, but how many make you laugh? I don't expect to see pictures of a customer resembling Zangief with references to street fighter. I find myself often thinking "this is not a barbershop for old men.", but I see old men there as well having just as much fun as I am! It's absolutely ridiculous sometimes and you might think that no business having that good a time with their customers can maintain any sort of professional discipline at the same time. Well guess what? They still give great hair cuts like a bunch of drunken shaolin masters having fun while doing what they've been trained to do at the same time. This place is alive. I'm not really sure what else to say when it comes to writing a review for a barbershop. The place is clean, wait times usually seem non-existent, and the prices are reasonable. Stop reading Yelp reviews and get in here! There might be pizza. So in summary: Bridge Ave. Barbershop is not a good barbershop. Bridge Ave. Barbershop is a TERRIFIC barbershop. 5/5 would get cut again read more

Walked in right before lunch. First time at this barbershop. Short wait and right in chair. Nice cut and razor shaved my neck. I will be back read more

Just walked in this morning without an appointment. Tom fit me in and gave me a great haircut . Thanks

I've been looking for a good barber in the area for a couple of years ever since the Brick Barbershop closed years ago. Unfortunately, most places for a haircut around here seem to have what is generally referred to as a "stylist". And if you're not prepared to pay big bucks, they're usually poor ones at that. So, it's not easy finding a real, honest to goodness, old-fashioned barber, no less a good one. It's been a long road. I've seen most everyone who claims to be a barber in area. And it's been an interesting experience, encountering the mediocre, the inept, and the down-right bizarre. My first criteria, is that they know how to use a straight razor. Now this may seem nitpicky, but that's part of what a barber does, even if one's not looking for that service. I once read an article about the owner of a high-end restaurant, and he said that in interviewing someone for a chef's position, he first asks that person to make an omelet. If they can't make a proper omelet in the classic French tradition, they are out. I've had so called barbers give me some interesting responses when I ask if they use a razor, like telling me it's illegal to use one because it can transmit disease (yea..if it's not sterilized), or saying things like they don't ordinarily use one, but they have a razor on hand and "will try" if I insist (NO THANK YOU!). Well, my quest has finally ended. Chelsea, one of the owners, contacted me after seeing my dissatisfaction with Amato's Hair Studio on Yelp and told me about their services. Chelsea, herself, gave me a GREAT haircut!! Yes, as you may have guessed, ending by trimming with a straight razor!! I've driven past this place many times and can't believe I missed it. This is what a barbershop should be, technically proficient, first come-first serve, and with a genuinely friendly staff, as others have noted. I used to believe that only old Italian guys made great barbers, but Chelsea has proven me wrong. So much for preconceptions. read more

Clean, professional and friendly. I'm not one to experiment with a new barber shop, but I'm glad I did this time. I'll be returning.

The absolute worst haircut I've gotten in my life. "Maddie" had no grasp of the buzzer settings and just proceeded to deliver a crew cut with a tuft of long hair on the top. I repeatedly advised that my hair is stubborn and can't be cut too close and I don't want to see skin AT ALL. I see nothing but skin on 80% of my head. My bad for allowing her to turn my back to the mirror so I couldn't try to halt the massacre. Barber was quick to load me up with different product as well at the end to masquerade the butchering. The disastrous cut was confirmed quickly when I got home and my wife burst into uncontrollable laughter (joined by my kids) and said "at least your brother's wedding isn't til July 17...maybe that can look somewhat normal by then". I doubt it. Gonna be looking like Max Headroom well after 4th of July. read more

Super friendly and clean barber. They help me figure out what I want and they do a great job.

my boyfriend went and got a hair cut here today when i TOLD HIM TO ABSOLUTELY NOT. the lady he claimed he had hacked up his hair SO BAD, he doesn't even want to leave the house. not only horrible service and a horrible cut but now you ruined his confidence to the point he doesn't even want to go to work. never EVER go here. read more

Simple: Great place for a haircut! I always have Shain, one of the owners, cut my hair. I have never had a complaint.... read more

Pleasantly surprised to have someone ask and listen to how we wanted the haircut. Very professional and a great job with haircut and shave. Will definitely go back. They do take walk ins. Recommend them read more

Very Happy with Shain!! She did exactly what I asked for and no problems. It's nice to find someone who listens to you and does it. I can't tell you how many times they don't listen and do what they want. Thanks for listening Shain:) read more

Friendly barbers that will give you amazing cuts with great conversation! Try a shave as well.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. This was my first time in there and I will never step foot in again. A haircut is suppose to be a fast experience. There was 1 guy working. I didn't mind the few people in front of me and I understood of have to wait a little bit. So after an Hour and a half waiting! He starts taking people that came in after me! I got up and left without getting a haircut. The guy didn't even acknowledge my presence or even noticed that I've been sitting there forever! Do not waste your time on this place. At least supercuts takes you after 5 mins read more

They give a great haircut, but more importantly, the people are awesome. If you haven't gotten a straight razor shave, treat yourself, it is worth it -very relaxing, beloved it or not. I'd been hunting for a barber before they opened, and now I'll never leave. read more

Just brought our 2.5yo in for a much needed haircut. Shain was Amazing. She offered our son a toy and a lollipop and was incredibly patient when he was afraid of the buzzer. She patiently switched to the scissors and was able to give him a great cut despite his fidgeting. We will definitely be going back. read more

Always get a good cut and the girls are very nice. Price is right. No complaints from me. More importantly, my wife always approves of the cut I get, too! read more

This was my third time coming here and I'm so happy I found such a great place for a haircut and a shave. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of time they spend with you.

This is the only place I will take my kids. They love Shain! Not only is she super sweet and down to earth, she always does an amazing job and my kids leave with huge smiles! Great Barbershop- well worth the wait. :) read more

Great staff, exceptional service, and super fun and relaxing environment. I really appreciate everything about this shop and everything they've created!! Not enough time in the world to go into every caring aspect that they put into your experience there, from walking in the door, to the time you leave. You'll just have to experience for yourself!!! read more

I have always been apprehensive about my hair since it is curly has a tendency to get very frizzy if done wrong. There is no one I would trust more with my hair then these fine ladies. The haircuts are great, the atmosphere is perfect. There is no place better. read more

Beware guys... I went in today for a skin fade and to get my beard trimmed with a razor shave. First, the haircut wasn't bad except I didn't get a skin fade it was just buzzed down with a pair of edge up clippers. I expected a straight razor and asked twice but whatever I can deal with it. Next was the shave, there was a bit of confusion between the staff on their procedure but whatever long as it turns out good. Not so much. After the shave was over I felt the shave and it was a little stubbly but from a view into the mirror from the chair it looked fine. So I thanked him, payed, and left. When I got to home I looked in the mirror and noticed streaks of hair running up and down the neck the bottom hardly touched and back of neck wasn't done well either. There was even hairs at the tops of my cheeks. Also, my beard was uneven at the ears. I won't be back, I just wanted you know my experience with mike. I can't speak for the rest of them but I won't try them after that. Good luck read more
