I didn't realize how unhappy I was with the vibe at my old barber until I stepped through the door here and felt right at home. Everybody actually enjoys being here, and that's contagious. Ethan did my cut, and he was super nice about talking it through with me before getting going, and spent time getting it exactly right, and even helping me out with styling pointers. I was happy with the cuts (if not the vibe) at my prior place, but now that I've had a chance to wash it, style it myself, and wear it for the day, it's definitely a cut above (pardon the pun) what I was getting at my prior place. Can't recommend him highly enough. Just an A+ across the board for making a new customer feel welcome, having a great environment, and giving a great haircut. Oh yeah, and it was $5 less for the cut than I was paying at my last place to boot.

I had gone to see Vanessa initially in New Haven, since then she tranfered to Norgh Haven because…read moreshe is experienced with curly hair. I had seen her a few times, then paused. The haircuts were good, so I kept coming back to her. Tuesdays her prices were $40, which was affordable, now I find out that it has increased exponentially to $100!

This is the place to go for an edge up to keep a good hairline. They do great work with the clippers, and some of the barbers will do good scissor work too if you ask. Great place, everyone is friendly. Anyone who goes and doesn't feel catered too because no one asks if they're set up hasn't been to a local shop before. If you're not a regular just call ahead and let them know you're coming. Then speak up when you come in the door. No one is going to come check in on you unless you make it clear you're here for an appointment or a specific barber.

If I could give no stars at all, I WOULD!…read more Very disappointing experience. I was extremely uncomfortable with the way I was treated during my visit. Instead of being respectful and professional, the barber made rude and hateful comments about my hair and was rough with it (specifically the barber at chair 4). There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be made to feel embarrassed or disrespected while simply trying to get a haircut. I would not recommend this barbershop to anyone looking for a welcoming and respectful environment. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, my experience here was completely unacceptable. I hope others think twice before choosing this place. Absolutely trash!

I've managed to get a walk-in appointment with no wait almost whenever I went. I started to schedule appointments and have had no trouble with availability. The price is really great as well: with student discount, a basic trim for me was around the same price as most chain hair cut places. I've never had a bad haircut from here and I've had appointments with nearly all the staff members. My only disclaimer to this review is that I have only ever asked for relatively simple haircuts, basic trim/shaping, fades, etc.

Cheyenne is incredibly precise and truly takes pride in her craft. She has been doing this for decades, and her experience and talent really show in everything she does. This isn't just a job for her--it's something she genuinely loves. She is friendly, kind, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you sit in her chair. Her services go above and beyond, including thoughtful touches like a hot towel treatment that make the whole experience feel special. If you're looking for someone who is talented, detail-oriented, experienced, and genuinely cares about her clients, I highly recommend Cheyenne! She truly goes the extra mile every time.

5 stars all around…read more Service: The barbers are nice and will joke around with you if you're in the mood, or leave you the F' alone and only ask questions about the cut if you want. Ambiance: The spot was clean and bright. They've got a vending machine while you wait, and every once in awhile, a lady tries to come in to sell street food. Legit and old school. Cut: Detailed, precise, and fine touches done w/ hand razor. Takes a bit of time, but well worth it for the price (around $10 or so).

Asks you if you have an appt and if you want someone specific. Then they go from there. All the barbers are friendly. My dad always goes to Elvin. My husband also goes to this barbershop.

They also communicate with you also just to make sure you get what you want. And they talk to you they just conversate which makes the experience way better. Amazing overall come see for yourself !

I went in again today, and Erin fixed my hair (free of charge) and it looks absolutely amazing. The roots are blended perfectly, and my root touch up looks so perfect and it is blended seamlessly. She also gave me a free blow out, which she absolutely did not need to, but she did and my hair just looks so great! I am more than happy with it. I also did the conditioning treatment, which revitalized my dead hair. Overall, I would highly recommend Salon J and especially Erin. I have always loved her haircuts, and I'm now happy that I can confidently endorse her hair dyeing and root touch ups as well. I used to go to New York to get my hair done, and my only regret is that I didn't go to Erin earlier. I'll miss her and amazing hair cutting/dyeing!

So so disappointed and unflattering on me. I hate being seen in public with this hair that cost over $300.

I told Carl I was 7 years old in 1965 and Patsy Menilllo was cutting my hair back then. Carl chuckled and shook his head. Carl, total pro, wrestled the uneven, mismatched mess into something that I have always had a difficult time receiving: A beautifully structured beard. I will be back in a few weeks for another trim.
