I'm not sure why he pretended to understand the instructions that I gave him. The cut was bad- he did things that I told him not to do. I chalk this up to the language barrier. Something else that I particularly did not enjoy was the barber putting styling product in my hair without asking and before I could confirm that I liked the cut, not that he could understand. It's perfectly fine for the barber to be non-English-speaking, but that barrier needs to be expressed at some point before hair is shaved or cut. I won't be returning. You should avoid Jenderson like the plague.

We recently moved to the area and was in Cranford and decided to explore downtown bit. We passed by…read moreand I had been debating on a place to get my kids' hair cut and I saw how busy this place was... out of the 8 barbers (don't quote me on that number), all were filled and three were kids. I ultimately went in but everyone was so busy. Eventually, a lady came up to me. The place is conveniently located near the Cranford train station and across the street from a macaron place. There are benches outside for those waiting as well as one inside by the small cash register. They do appointments BUT she said they might have an opening for me in about 20 minutes. I accepted, was added to the list, and my son ended up getting his hair cut within 10 minutes. Not bad! I'm sure it was just luck though. I'm not sure what the barber's name was but he was pretty good! I don't know much about hair cuts when he started asking me about numbers and such for how short, but I ultimately told him shorter on the sides and half as short on top. The place is a bit small and with every chair full, not much room to stand, so I waited on a bench but I caught glimpses. I don't think anyone in the family has had such a thorough job done on their hair. The cut took just about THIRTY minutes for my 4 year old. He took his time and was meticulous, putting in the fine touches and applying what looked like 20 (maybe closer to 5) hair products. When he was released, my son looked quite sharp and smelled so nice! And his longer hairs were coiffed up in a way I have no clue how to even replicate it. I don't mind spending money if needed, but I admit I've never quite spent that much money on my own hair before. You pay at the cash register ($35 for a kids' cut) and I sent my kid with cash tip to his barber. I thought my husband was going to have some choice words about it, but he was also impressed with the cut and the fact that nothing was rushed. This place is legit and the two people I spoke with were nice! Our barber wasn't the chattiest only asking what was necessary, but I didn't get an off vibe from him. He humored my daughter who did stay inside by "giving" her hair clippings when he noticed she was trying to collect them. Overall, an excellent experience. Now I still have to find a hair place for my daughter and myself and it's turn for our cuts, but at least we discovered this one!

First time for my son (age 12) to get a haircut in this place and he loves it. Finally, we found a place that can do the job well. JC is very nice and accommodating. He did exactly what I asked him to do for my son's hair. We will definitely come back and I highly recommend this barbershop! read more

Great location in a medium size shopping center with a food store, pharmacy and other shops (on Raritan Rd. in Roselle near Wood Ave.).
