Destroyed my hair; person cutting my hair was a trainee. 20 bucks for a cut is not worth getting no play for 4 months.

Some staff are great, but you have to be lucky to get your haircut done by them. There's no reservation system, so you get who becomes available. Almost every time I've been here, I've walked out dissatisfied. Most of the time, they don't follow what they are asked, even when shown pictures as a guide, and mess up people's haircuts for at least the next few weeks. There have been numerous occasions where I have had to see another barber to fix my haircut after getting one here. Do yourself a favor, and do some thorough research before coming here. If you're looking for a standard haircut, this may be the place for you, but if you have very specific requests for your haircut (which most people do), try finding an individual barber who your friends/colleagues rave about and find out where they work - your future self will thank you. It's a great place to bring kids for their haircuts, but for adults who are particular, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. read more

I take my toddler son there for haircuts, and he always looks so adorable afterwards. All of the stylists are good at working with children. Too bad they don't do little girls' hair. My husband's cuts always come out nicely as well. read more

Had a great experience with Georgie here yesterday. She was incredibly precise and followed my desired request. The shop is small and doesn't offer any reservations which is great, but expect to wait around 20 minutes before getting sat on a week day (could definitely be longer on the weekend). Seating space is decent for the size of the store and the value of the hair cut is pretty nice too (variable pricing depending on the day of the week). Highly recommend this store if you are a Uni student or living in the area and need a barber! read more

No appointments, staff relatively friendly, barbers are not that good. price is high for skill level. not much attention to detail, rushed service. read more

they're service is amazing. Serena is an artist. favourite barbershop in the area. since it's walk-in only i don't have to plan ahead for an appointment. read more

Great place to stop in and get your hair cut and most importantly beard groomed. Such a lost art these days. Nothing beats a hot shave on your neck. Highly recommend Vick. A winning personality and a clear master of her craft. When I find a good barber I stick with them, and that's her. An absolute star. I always leave looking great when I leave here. read more

Had a bit of a wait but obviously not their fault. Had Serena take care of me and she was just great. I'm not really sure how to rate a haircut but she was attentive, listened to any request and was a pleasure. I gather she is fairly new to this but I'd go back to her in a minute. read more

I have been here multiple times and every time it's a great experience. I have tried multiple locations and this definitely the best local spot I know of. It is convenient and not overpriced (men haircut is 20 dollar on week days and 21 on weekends ). All barbers here are young and very friendly. The barber I would recommend is Jackie. She is very experience and knows what she is doing. She does take her time with you and makes sure she lets you go home with a solid hair. The only down side about the place is the wait. MAKE sure you call before coming in because you will wait for awhile to get a haircut because it can really really get busy sometimes. If you have a chance to get the hair done earlier in the day I would definitely suggest doing. Thank you for reading this and I hope you find this helpful. read more

Nassau Barbers - Front of the shop - Barbers Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

I've been coming here for the last three years and I have yet to ever leave this place even slightly disatisfied with a cut. The lines are usually super long as this place is quite popular and they take their time with each client. Jackie is always awesome to catch up with and gets you cleaned up and looking good every time. Definitely worth calling ahead to see if they are having a slow day before coming out, but the wait is always worth it anyways! read more

Not a very good haircut, place was kind of dirty even though it was slow and employees were sitting around

Conor is an excellent barber! Great experience! Attention to detail! Look for the guy with the beard.

If there was an option to rate this business zero stars, I would pick it. I had very long curly hair when I entered this barbershop, as I sat down I asked for two simple things; a taper and nothing off the top. As my barber started my haircut she immediately went to the top and took off a lot of my hair to the point where it was left about half an inch long. As for my taper, she didn't even give me one. I would not come here ever again. read more

Nassau Barbers is by far my favorite place to get a haircut in Princeton. The staff there know how to do a good fade and hard part which is hard to find. I am originally from the west coast and am very picky about my haircuts. The staff also know how to cut Asian hair which is also something that is difficult to find. I highly recommend! In terms of price, the haircuts are very reasonable at $21. They even have a student discount for Princeton students. read more

Nassau Barbers - Barbers Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Since Tommy's departure, I found that Pat was really good but he rotates between shops so best to call in advance.

Definitely my go-to barber shop for haircuts within a 50 mile radius. Over the past few years, I've been here too many times, reviewed (and updated) my reviews too many times not to give Nassau Barbers five stars. I will admit--the wait does get quite long sometimes, and I know that raving about Nassau Barbers can only attract more patrons. That being said, it would be heresy to say that it's not worth the wait. Tough to be operating during COVID-19, but they pull it off pretty seamlessly, and their contact tracing at the door inspires confidence. Right now, they're using a system where you get a ticket at the door and wait until your number is up. It's pretty straightforward, so if you're crying foul about people "cutting the line," you must never have gone to a New York deli before. tl;dr Best quality haircuts in the central NJ/philly suburbs. Prepare for a bit of a wait, but I promise it's worth it. Oh, and also if you're okay with waiting a bit longer, Jackie is by far my favorite barber there! read more

Ever wanted to see employees in fully disengaged mode? Step right up to Nassau Barbers! The girl cutting my hair seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else, just blurting out orders and avoiding any chitchat. It was like she was on turbo mode, rushing through everything. I was in and out in 15 minutes flat, feeling like I missed out on a proper haircut experience. Oh, and get this--they're stuck in the Stone Age and don't take cards. Had to leave my ID as collateral to go hunt down cash in the neighborhood. One visit was more than enough for me! read more

These girls 5++++++ They always listen to what you want and do a fantastic job. It's nice to have a place that is simple and to the point, and for a great price. read more

Just walked in for a headshave and beard trim, and loved it. The staff was friendly, and the shave and trim came out great. Will definitely be going back again to treat myself for their services. read more

Great place. Mike's was closed for the holidays (Mike's is great too) and I really needed a haircut. I thought I'd be let down by another place but it was great. Thanks!! read more

They have a number system unless you know the barbers in which case you get to cut the whole line. No worth coming to unless you have you have 2 hours to wait for them to be willing to cut your hair. read more

First and foremost, they are cautious about the virus so they will collect some info from you for contact tracing. The barber there is very friendly and understood what I want. Even if you have an Afro she can help shape it up. She was very precise and still with the clipper for an amazing end result. Would go here again! read more

When my son sat down in the chair the hair dresser seemed hesitant. I asked another hair dresser about this. The second person said we all do this to make sure you get what you want. I hesitantly let her cut my son's hair. Well, it is nothing that he wanted. She cut way too much. She blended out and took the length he worked so long to grow. Two dissatisfied customers. read more

When i came in there was only one person in the chair and was told there will be a 30 minute wait. I came back in less than 30 minutes and there was already some else on the chair and was told that i not only had to wait for the current one but a new one that had just came in! Mind you they ask you to take a number to not honor such numbers! Horrible service! I will not only ever come back but i will never recommend to anyone! What a waste of time! My time is valuable to just sit around waiting to just be rudely turned away! NOT AT ALL A WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS! read more

Went here with my boyfriend and they gave him a great cut! Fantastic service & friendly staff! (Shoutout to the tall redhead with glasses!)

I spent about 4 years trying to find somewhere/someone that could give me the exact haircut I wanted, and I'd given up. I chose to just stay here because it was local and good, but when I tried actually talking, Jackie gave me a haircut that wasn't too short like the generic men's style (which I would've been fine with after quartine length hair, but better works). 5 Stars read more

I was in a hurry one day, so I came here because the wait at Princeton Barber Shop was going to take me an eternity. There were 5 other people in the waiting area, and we pretty much stared at each other for an hour until I finally got called up by the guy with big arms who smelled like cigarette smoke. He's a friendly guy, but I remember him as the guy who f-ed up my fade/undercut the last time I came here. I wanted to give him another chance. It turns out that giving him another chance was the biggest mistake I made that day. He gave me a haircut in a hurry. Nothing good comes from cutting hair in hurry. Unless you're a military barber and want to give a new recruit a silly haircut. Anyway, one side of my head had a good fade, the other side was completely shaved, and the top of my head had long hair. The side that was completely shaved looked like a cupcake when it was combined with the long hair up top. It was embarrassing and I ended up shaving my head instead. You could spend $25 on a crappy haircut, or you could shave your head at home for FREE. read more

Made me wait outside for 30 minutes due to their policy that customers cannot wait inside. Eventually left and went to Mike's Barber Shop down the road. Mike's had a great waiting area and gave me a great cut. Would highly recommend Mike's over this place. read more

I just had my haircut by Jackie and she did a phenomenal job! Their phone number is disconnected through the weekend, but they are definitely open! If you need to get a haircut this weekend, do not hesitate to swing by read more

Fantastic mens' haircuts... but call ahead to make sure they're open. The ratings for this place gravitate around two poles: high ones for the haircuts and low ones for the erratic hours. It is true that Tony (the owner) often closes shop for all or part of days to run errands. However, (1) this is an inevitable problem for a very small business like this one and (2) it can be avoided by *simply calling ahead* to make sure they're open. These complications aside, I have not once been disappointed in a haircut here, and I've been coming at least monthly for two years and have had my hair cut by every person employed there during that time (Tony, Tommy, Mallory). Other things to keep in mind: cash only, ~$25 for a cut, walk-ins only (no appointments). read more

Note to DJ: I did try to call ahead or text, he became bothered with that. I have been going to him for years but no longer. He leaves to run errands during hours of operation and doesn't return by the posted time. He finally does come unapologetic strolling down the street, he is very irresponsible with no regard for his patrons or their time. The $25 haircut is not exactly a bargain. Don't waste your time, just go to anywhere. read more

For the past two years, I dreaded getting my hair cut at Princeton and would wait until breaks when I could visit a barber at home in California. Not anymore. I've sported the same hairstyle (faux hawk) for the last six years and Mallory does a better job than anyone I've gone to before, including other barbers in Princeton. If you ask, she shares valuable personalized advice about what styles would look good given the quality of your hair. Highly recommended. read more

Great place. The shop looks good and the haircut I got was what I wanted. Had a good chat as well. What a good barber should be. Shaved the back of my neck as well which feels great. Cost is about average for a Princeton haircut/barber but it's worth it over a chain place. read more

Nassau Barbers - Nice decor. - Barbers Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Very happy that I found this place. Actually, was right here at Yelp. I moved from NYC and Ive been trying a new place to have a haircut. After 3 terrible experiences in other places, I find myself very happy with Nassau Barbers. This is a GUY place. I dont want massage on my scalp, just have a haircut. The price is very reasonable, so make sure to give a nice tip. Other than that, very clean, laid back. For today on, Im their regular customer. Oh, I forgot, bring cash. No ATM or Credit Cards. There's a ATM across the street with $2 charge, just in case. read more

Pathetic service! Highly unprofessional and rude. The saw disappointed customers! Worst experience! Stay away read more

First time here. Pat was welcoming and meticulous. Reasonable price. Definitely recommend!

Due to the COVID-19, it has changed the ways of how we must now take precautions and have patients at the same time. Not only for ourselves but also with whom we need to come close to in order to have the kind of service that we need in our daily lives. After going to several hairstylists, I always found myself not being happy with the outcome. After doing some research on google, I had came across "NASSAU BARBERS" located in Princeton, NJ. Even though I live an hour away from the place, I made the choice to try them out. Just like many others on YELP, we not only just look at the "Ratings" but we also read the "Reviews" which is exactly what I did. After seeing both the reviews and ratings, they are considered as being 4.5 star. However, if I were to be a judge and/or a secret type of customer without them knowing. I would not only rate them a 5 STAR clear across the board as I did here, but I would also give them a plaque showing just how GREAT they are and for other clients now and hopefully in the near future to see that. Only just a few would be considered a true "professional hairstylist" while others are still lacking on major details. Nassau Barbers is by far the "professional hairstylist." They have not only earn my business as a client, but they have also earned my trust as being a long time client. They go above and beyond in every category that a customer/client looks for when it deals with: Service, Health Safety due to COVID-19 and respect. More importantly, they listen to each every needs that the client is seeking for when it deal with a certain style. Over time, after knowing who works their, you would feel that you are now a big family as you talk with them and have a few laughs. The one aspect that I admire the most is the fact that they are helping college grads who seek to become a hairstylist by teaching them and allowing them to take part. Already, I had grads work on me alongside with the hairstylist and they were awesome. They listen very carefully to what is being said and he/she follows through on it. I can only pray Nassau Barbers continue doing this. Listen, don't just take my word for it. Actions speak louder then words, so go there in person and give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

I agree with Dan. K. I used to dread getting haircuts at Princeton and would wait for my hair to grow out before the breaks. I went to Mike's Barber Shop, Princeton Barber Shop, etc and left unsatisfied.Today I went to Nassau Barbers and was extremely satisfied. It's tough to get a decent Asian male haircut at Princeton from experience, but I thought Tom (and I've heard the same about Tony) at Nassau Barbers did a fantastic job. Tom's also a great guy and highly enjoyed my conversation with him. I would HIGHLY advise Princeton students who are unsatisfied with their haircuts to come to Nassau Barbers. I paid $20 and gave $5 in tip which I thought was pretty standard compared to the other places. Great work Tom and Tony! read more

Clean vibes from the moment I walked through the door. I've had two different barbers on separate occasions. A young woman, Jamie, gave a stellar skin fade. High and tight with phenomenal blending, I highly recommend her. She may be a barber, but she's my low key therapist! My other visit was just to have my beard touched up. Feisty little whipper snapper with a whole lot of energy, Jackie, rocked out and set my new standard for how I like my beard. Let's face it, you get what you pay for, and the price is set just right here. The staff is grounded and the atmosphere is welcoming. When ever I visit my mother, you'll be sure to find me sitting at booth, getting a fresh cut! read more

Wow!! So happy and excited that Princeton has this down to earth tattoo and art kind of barber shop. I felt very comfortable going here. I'm new to all this: got my hair messed up and had to cut it from long to buzz cut. Tony took great care of my faux hawk and I'm leaving as a happy customer!! read more
