started getting my cuts here. Nice relaxed place. Not a place for just the homies. father and sons, grandpas, gangstas like me and regular Joesnget their cuts here. street parking in Millburn may be a hassle but the meter maids/ticketing not so strict imo compared to towns like new Brunswick and pal park. read more

Thank you Fernando for making me feel welcome as a first time customer. I went in looking for a buzz and beard trim and you did exactly that. Not only were your a great conversationalist, you made my beard look nice and tight like I asked for. I will be back again for sure! read more

Great shop. Pricey. The owner has a short-term business prospective, however. I arrived late to my appoinment. It is bad business practice to charge a client who has only patroned once before, a missed appointment. Especially, a client who presented himself well and was apologetic. The lack of foresight is distatestful and inhibits me from patroning again. read more

Visiting from out of town and got a same day appointment. Nice calm space. Stef listened to what I was looking for, asked questions, and offered suggestions which I had asked her to do. Came out with exactly what I was hoping for. read more

A little pricy but they do a great job and it's a great environment, you can walk in without waiting forever which is nice and convenient for busy schedules read more

Refused to honor appointments made using their own system. After being a client for over a year, I booked on their online system for another appointment, but they refused to honor my appointment. They refused to honor appointments made on their own system. The staff showed no regard for myself as a long standing client. Other clients were in the store at the same time with the same exact issue. Their scheduling system had clearly failed and they simply said, "The system didn't register you." There was no argument, I simply left. But as I was exiting the door, the barber said a derogatory statement which he thought I could not hear. No humanity. Zero customer service. Total lack of respect to their own clients. If you respect yourself don't deal with this degrading atmosphere. read more

Awesome place, great cut by Jon!!!! Chill environment!! You will not be disappointed. read more

Asked for a fringe the girl completely screwed it up. Looked like an egg afterwards ALSO TOOK 1 and a half hours! No clue what she was doing. Vibe of the place is nice though read more

My "significant other"has been loyal to his barber for more than 35 years.Even while living more than 100 miles away, he still drove to his hair appointments regularly. However, a time crunch with work and travel did NOT allow him to get to his usual spot, so I immediately looked on line to find some options. After reading reviews he decided to choose this place. He made his appointment on- line, and was able to get in the next day. He felt that Drew took his time, really listened to what he wanted and was very pleased with the results. I thought his haircut looked great! I'm sure he will become a regular!! read more

This place is great. It's clean, modern and a high quality barbershop. I just finished my third haircut at this place. Lou was my barber all 3 times and he's great. I can't imagine going to anyone else. He's friendly and he's a perfectionist. I highly recommend. read more

Original Sharp Barbershop & Shave Parlor - Barbers Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

Walking into the store can start out as intimidating. If I'm being honest my first time inside I was a little hesitant but as soon as I had second to think I was greeted and asked if I had an appointment. Of course I did, I then proceeded to sit down and take in the modern atmosphere. The shop has an incredible reclaimed wood wall on the right hand side by the mirrors with a mix of industrial style counters that they lay their tools on. The music is a mixture of either hip hop, rock, 90's rap, and sometimes ESPN sports highlights which for me is a win either way. The couches are more than comfortable but you won't even notice because you're to busy enjoying the banter of the staff. All the team members always look happy and excited to work. You can clearly see how passionate they all are by how thoughtful they make each cut. I've had the opportunity to meet each one of them and I can tell barbering is in their blood. I've jumped around quite a few shops but I can honestly say this is a place that truly makes me feel confident when I walk out. A place where I can strike a conversation or join one. I never feel rushed or feel a lack of quality even though their service is quick. I know they care more for how my hair looks than I do. It's really hard to find that level of attention to detail these days. I highly recommend you make an appointment for a nice haircut and request a wash! You most definitely won't regret it. read more

After coming home from college, I was nervous to find a new barbershop so I put off getting a haircut. Finally, I took the plunge and found this place. I did some research and saw they were highly rated and were taking a lot of COVID precautions so I felt comfortable booking a haircut. It was super easy to use their online booking system and I was able to set up an appointment the same day. My appointment was with Drew and when I got to the chair, he asked me several questions about my hair. He took the time and energy to understand what I like and dislike. I also gave him some creative freedom if he felt like something world work for my hair. 30 minutes later and I now have the best haircut I've ever had. I didn't have to show Drew a photo or anything and he made my hair look amazing. My confidence is through the roof and I can't wait to go back! read more

Original Sharp is one of the cleanest barbershops I've ever been to. The ambiance of this shop is chill. And the black and white minimal theme they have going on is really nice. Walk ins are welcome but their online appointments are easy to manage too. - I usually use their online appointment website because their barbers get booked. Especially if you're trying to book a specific person. All of the barbers are super nice. Special mention to Jhon. Super sweet and nice. He cut my sons hair and my son looked like he was ready to go on a date He was quick, gentle, and patient with him even if my son was a little fussy. They have couches and other seats so you can sit and wait. Parking is street parking with meters. Up until 6pm. After 6pm is free. *Original Sharp is open until 8pm.* I highly recommend this barbershop for any kids or men looking for a fresh cut for any event. read more

I'm worried about posting how amazing this shop is. I'm not sure if the barbers want to be the place to be for kid's haircuts in Soma/Millburn but they should be! Mikey and Lou did an outstanding job cutting my almost 6year old and 7 year old's hair. Both of my boys had hair long past their shoulders (moved from Cali) and wanted "hipster haircuts". Both barbers listened to what we and more importantly what my sons wanted and the boys ended with much cooler cuts than I have ever had. The cuts weren't cheap but well worth it for the time, care and energy these gentlemen spent. I can't wait to book my own appointment here. read more

After spending several years on the left coast, I returned home to my peeps in the greater NYC area. Since moving back, I have been searching high and low for a place that offers a good haircut, with great service, at a fair price and was close to home (versus the city). A year plus into this odyssey- eureka! the OG Sharp team ticks all the boxes. These folks are the real deal,offering a comfortable, but not fancy setting, awesome hot towel service, and great products at a fair price. What keeps me coming back, however, is Rome: a patient hair artist who takes his time getting to know you, assessing what you want/need and repeatedly proving himself a whiz with the shears and clippers. I take my hair situation seriously--and this guy delivers. Highly recommended. read more

We took my 3 year old here for a "real" haircut and couldn't be happier. I was a little nervous not taking him to an actual kids place but it was a welcoming -- and still cool -- environment. No firetruck chairs or bright colors. But they did have a special seat just for kids his size. Bryan did wonderful being patient, letting my son watch his iPad during the cut and talking to him about Mickey Mouse. We will definitely return! read more

What's not to like? My 12 year old son has been going here 2+ years. The barbers are very friendly and good with kids while also being ultra cool (which is a big appeal to a 12 year old). The appointments always start exactly on time (you can book online). They are clean and well-managed during CoVid. Excellent protocols. read more

Reliably very good haircut. Nice guys. Chill vibe. All the barbers are legit. May not do longer hair as well as shorter hair but they hook up a clean haircut REAL NICE. Khalil is the top barber. If you don't find street parking on the first pass park in the town garage on Essex and walk two minutes to the shop. read more

This place is great. My first time was today and I just went for a beard trim. I'm new to beards and they were really helpful in giving me tips and tricks. I walked in not knowing what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised but the laid back atmosphere. It's a guys place. I had Lou and he was great. All the guys seemed really cool. I walked out of there feeling clean and fresh. They can do everything from a hair cut to a clean shave with the hot towels. I'd definitely recommend this place. For me is a bit more of a treat to myself since I shave my own head but now I'm growing my beard, when it gets scruffy I'll treat myself to a beard trim or classic shave. read more

Got a great haircut today from Alex- good safety protocols, friendly staff, attractive shop.

This barber shop is by far one of the best barber shops I have ever seen, or have step foot in. The barbers there are all super chill & well spoken, but most importantly are great barbers. I personally go to Joe and he listens to exactly what I want and delivers every time. Finding a new barber is always a scary process, they make it easy. (1) Star taken off because of the fact that it's so expensive. read more

I started coming to this barber shop about 3 months ago. My friend told me about it and I've loved every cut since then! The place is always clean, and has this modern black steel look to it with wooden accents. The guys here are awesome. I've had Jhonny cut my hair each time and every time is better than the last. He aka his time and really understands what you ask for. Definitely one of the illest fades I get, I get from him, and he's always spot on. Ends with a hot towel too. Definitely recommend this place to those who want a professional and hip atmosphere, and a precise cut overall. read more

I've been overdue for writing a review for this place. I've been going here for haircuts and an occasional shave since they opened and have been going to Drew (co owner) for haircuts for several years prior to them opening. Drew is dedicated to excellence in his craft and I knew right away when he decided to partner and open his own place it was going to be a success. When he left the place that was closer to my house I was bummed but decided for the quality it was worth going where he was to get a great haircut. I've seen the new place go from nearly empty when I was there to nearly always being packed with all chairs running at full speed. One of the many things I appreciate at Original Sharp and frankly anywhere where Drew cut my hair is there is never a rush. He always makes sure he catches every detail. No cutting corners to get more people through. Today I got my haircut by Jhon another barber at Original Sharp because I didn't plan ahead far enough and Drew was fully booked. Lesson learned and a sigh of the quality work I think. Regardless of this though Drew made sure Jhon knew how I liked my haircuts and he did a great job. I can't recommend enough for people to try this place out. It is worth the drive if your not local. And if Drew and Khalil are booked try out Jhon he has clearly learned from the best. And for the one negative review on her get over yourself. Barbershops are busy places especially the good ones. read more

I used to love in Dunellen, NJ a few years back. That was where I was first introduced to Khalil Malamug, probably the first guy to cut my hair when I went to the In The Cut barbershop around the corner from my house. Always in very good spirits, I fell in love with the way Khalil would not only cut my hair, but also make me feel like the most important client of his day. At that time, he was just a barber with a steady clientele. Fast forward several years and glow ups later, Khalil is now the owner of three parlors, and just yesterday gave me my first cut since I moved out of Dunellen. As always, his positive energy was infectious and I received one of the greatest cuts I've ever gotten. I know that it's near sacrilege to cheat on a barber, as ever since I moved to Irvington, I'd been going to my regular guy that's close to my house. But once I found out that Khalil had his new shop in Millburn, I knew it was time to check him out. The place is immaculate! Visually stunning atmosphere. A row of barbers in uniform, clients happily waiting their turn. It felt great to come to this shop but also to patronize someone who's always treated me like more than a customer and has such an excitement for what they do. read more

This place is legit. I'm always a bit hesitant about trying new shops. I walked in not knowing what I'd get. I walked out feeling like I got the best cut of my life. Never had a barber so precise. Drew has a great eye for detail and knows exactly what works well but also listens to what you want. If you're reading this stop trying to decide. Just go in. read more

Bryan Dizon at Original Sharp cut my hair for just over a year and if I didn't have to relocated out of the area I would have kept going back. Bryan is a terrific barber and his colleagues at Original Sharp are friendly and obviously skilled, since the place is always busy and they have lots of repeat customers. I also love the cool vibe of the place, without being pretentious. It's just a real solid excellent barbershop and every guy should have his hair cut there. read more

If you're looking for an exceptional haircut with extreme attention to detail along with a super clean environment go to Original Sharp. Hands down best haircuts I've ever had. read more

I hardly write reviews, but I need to speak my mind about Original Sharp because they know what they are doing. I first met Drew, left, and came back to Drew and the guys at Original Sharp again. Here's why: 1. Their cuts are high quality. The clippers they use are premium grade and the shears they use are of much better quality than a lot of barbers out there. The reason why I make this point is because I have very sensitive skin and this is very important to me. The way my hair feels and looks after getting a fade, buzz, cut, or a combination is a lot better than anyone else I have ever been to. 2. They are adaptable to any hair style you want. I've pulled off a few hair styles over the years from a slicked back look, high fade combovers, and currently, a textured forward quiff. When I wanted to change hairstyles, I went to Drew since he along with the other barbers at Original Sharp are able to make it happen. Drew in particular at times during my cuts stopped to ask me whether I wanted the back squared, whether I wanted the sides to have a skin fade or tapered, etc. He doesn't just assume anything, which is awesome. 3. The hair products they use are of much higher quality. Currently, the shop has a lot of Hanz de Fuko products (Claymation, Scheme Creme, etc.) which are premium. A lot of other barbers and stylists that I see often stick to cheaper products which have a lot more chemicals that can be damaging to your hair as opposed to higher quality products that have more natural ingredients. Overall, it's a great laid back vibe full of barbers who pay attention to details. Give them a shot. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

I told my husband about this barbershop that opened up in Millburn recently and we finally went there this past weekend. I've never seen his haircut any better. The staff at the shop is very friendly, professional and paid attention to every detail. I can see why they are highly rated online. Besides getting a great haircut, my husband was able to book online and didn't have to wait that long. From our previous experiences most shops didn't take appointments and he was only able to walk in only. They also open until 8pm on the weekdays! We have found our spot and will definitely be coming back! read more

this place stinks. came for a while years ago and it was better but service and quality as diminished. over priced as well. recommend finding a new place. they claimed to have had fraud in reviews and I believed them but after coming back since then the place clearly has issues read more

I live near Metuchen and I used to get my hair done by Drew at the previous location he worked at (Razorsharp). When I was told by their staff that he moved to a new place 30 minutes from me, I figured I'd go there at least once to see if I'd be making this a monthly trip. Clean. Sleek. Professional. There are plenty of other words to describe the Original Sharp establishment, but those three are the first ones that come to mind. In short, a cut and shave by Drew and the team at Original Sharp is well worth the trip. Definitely give them a chance to shape your hair and your new standard of a quality barbershop experience. read more

Heard there's a new barbershop in town and went to check it out. I was extremely impressed with the decor and the ambience is unmatched. I was even more impressed with the service and the cut. They even have a hot towel and wash treatment which I've never gotten cause most barbershops I've gone to don't offer it. Andrew gave me a cut and after all the pampering treatment I felt like a new man. Service was very welcoming and the experience is top notch. You can't get a cut and experience like this anywhere else in NJ I promise you. read more

I've been going to the same salon for the past decade. Decided it was time for something different. On a whim, I called to see if I could get in as I was in town. Very glad I did. As a walk-in they took me pretty quickly. I got Mikey. Mikey knows his cuts. Best cut I've hand in years. He totally understood what I was looking for and delivered. When I say transformation, I'm not lying. Nice guy too. The place is hip as hell. Great tunes, good decor, clean and professional. I know it's new so I'll forgive not having any pictures in the frames but what do I know. Maybe that's part of it all. Bottom line, it's the best barbershop in Millburn, Maplewood, South Orange and Short Hills. read more

Original Sharp! Look no further boys and girls. A few things that make this a place a gem: (1) Convenience - super easy to book a reservation with any of their barbers on their website. (2) Location - coming from Jersey City, it takes about 20 min to get into Millburn via I-78. I never have any issues with parking and they're right across from Millburn Deli (which warrants a trip in itself) and down the street from a Starbucks (3) Ambience - as other Yelpers mentioned, this place definitely gives a SoHo NYC vibe. Super thoughtful layout and design that makes you feel at ease. (4)) Quality - this place employs strictly highly talented and skilled barbers who know their craft using everything at their disposal - hot towel, wash, clippers, scissors, straight razors, etc. I cannot say enough positive things about this establishment and the staff. I'm never disappointed when I get a cut from Original Sharp. Stay fresh and get a quality cut from this premium barbershop. read more

Lou has been cutting my hair for over a year and he's extremely talented at his craft and detail oriented. Anytime I ask for a slight tweak to my haircut, Lou listens and accommodates and I end up leaving with exactly what I want. Khalil has also cut my hair and is highly recommended. Original Sharp uses high end Dyson blowdryers and top styling products. The shop is hip and runs efficiently. The online booking system is easy to use. The guys at the shop are all really nice and know me by name. Highly recommend this barbershop. read more

Phenomenal haircut by Lou. The shop has a great modern atmosphere and is very clean. All of the guys were turning out top tier cuts. These are professional barbers who take their time to perfect their cuts; they do not turn cuts as quickly as possible to make more money like most barbers do. While the price may be a little high, they make sure to go the extra mile and take time to ensure you are satisfied. Ask for Lou. read more

This is the second time at the shop. My hair was cut by Romel who is a talented "stylist" and attentive to what I wanted. He is also an interesting young man. I enjoyed chatting with him. I had been getting my hair cut in suburban Philadelphia - some 100 miles away where my son lives. Now that I have found this hip shop in downtown Millburn,and Romel, I'm done with Philly. Thank you, Romel ! read more

This is hands-down the best barbershop I've been to. Drew is basically Michelangelo. An absolute pro and perfectionist. I'm never getting my hair cut anywhere else - even if I move I'm still commuting back here just to get my hair cut. I feel like a billion bucks. read more

"Walk ins welcome" is actually a joke. 115pm on a Monday. 5 guys working and only 1 with a customer. When the guy asked me if I had an appointment I thought he was joking. Until he told me to come back 45 mins later. I have the shortest buzz cut possible since I am basically bald. Could have been in and out in less than 10 mins. Won't try them again. read more

Just had my first post COVID haircut here with Jhon and am incredibly happy I did. Jhon was easy going and confidence inspiring as he talked through how he was going to fix the cumulative mistakes I'd made cutting my own hair over the last year! Looking forward to coming back soon! read more
