Mitch the barber is a true professional--skilled, detail-oriented, and always on point with his cuts. Whether you want a classic look or something fresh, they nail it every time. Plus, the atmosphere is unbeatable--great vibes, great conversation, and a real sense of community. It's more than just a haircut--it's an experience. You walk in feeling good and walk out feeling even better. If you're looking for a barbershop that actually cares about its craft and its customers, this is the spot. Highly recommend--wouldn't go anywhere else **Don't forget to tell Onyx the shop Dog HI when you're there!**

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!

The owner, Manny, has been cutting my hair regularly for over a year now, and I am always happy with the results. Beyond the quality of Manny's cuts, it's the level of service and respect for their clients that I value the most about American Shave. When I make an appointment for a cut I know that they will be ready to take me on time. If I have to wait, it's because I'm early, never because they're late. I absolutely recommend getting your hair cut at American Shave Classic Barber!

Sometimes, I tell him to add some spice and surprise me with a design. There isn't much he can't do. Kris has cut the hair of every member of my family. He can balance a feminine low cut for my mom and a crisp cut for my brother. Not only do I get my haircut, but I get my brows done and my hair braided. That hot towel feels great after the cut. The vibe is great. As a woman getting a cut at a barbershop, this is important. I feel super comfortable with everyone. I can talk about my life and not feel judged. They are super welcoming. I would suggest any member of the LGBT community that is looking for a barber to give them a shot. I would even just their apprentice to hook it up if need be. Shoutout to the crew down at Lifestyle.

On my last visits, Fidel has been the person to get a good haircut from. It appears he is no longer there and his chair is now manned by Edward Scissorhands with a bandanna. I went into that place with a head full of hair in need of a trim and left there with a serious hack job. The haircut was so bad and uneven, that I had to come home and give myself a total buzz cut. Stupid me chose not to argue with Edward, I just wanted to leave! I am so angry and will never go back. Oh, forgot to mention how he held the electrical razor on the side of my temper and caused a serious irritation to my skin. It's gone down this evening, but you can still some of the irritation.

I came in with hat hair but he couldn't spray some water on it to straighten it out? I told him twice to try it but he refused He said.. he compensated for the hat hair and it would fall smoothly after I shower.. After some back and forth.. I didn't even want to have him fix it. I'll be going elsewhere to fix it. $22 for a cut here is laughable.
