Well, I've been going to my one and only barber for the past 6 years and this weekend he happened to on vacation. When this happens, I usually try to find another barber, but there's absolutely no one that can cut my hair as good as he did. No one... Until today. Went to Washington Cutters this morning, expecting some mediocre haircut, something just to get me through my next haircut with my "real" barber. I booked my appointment a few days before and still booked another one with someone else at my barbers barbershop just in case. Got my haircut by Joe. Good guy, he called me by my name which he remembered every time. We had small barbershop talk and he was working away. I showed him a pic of me of how I look with my normal haircut and he matched it more that perfectly. Joe was precise and meticulous. He took his time to get it perfect and it showed. My haircut was perfect and my beard was shaped up so well it was almost unreal. The shop itself is very quaint, nothing really spectacular, but with barbers like Joe you don't really need anything fancy. The price for my haircut and beard is a little more that what I normally pay, but I can't say it wasn't worth it. I feel bad for going to a different barber than my barber of 6 years, but I think I might have to make the switch. Definitely recommending Washington Cutters!! read more

The pictures speak for themselves. Horrible cut. And horrible service. Refused to refund and claimed not to see anything wrong with the cut. read more

Washington Cutters is exactly what you need if you're looking for professional services with a personal touch. My barber really goes the extra mile to groom me and making me feel pampered. He uses a vapor machine to open up my pores, uses not only a hot towel but a cold towel to close them after every shave. This ensures I DON'T get any RAZOR BUMPS! He's a perfectionist and a master at his craft! read more

Washington Cutters - Mr. Clean with a shaped up beard. - Barbers Near Me - Carteret, New Jersey

The barbers are great, or they use to be hoenstly. They use to be really good, but as of late, I do not know if the management has changed or what but no one shows up on time, even if you have an appointment, almost always the barbers arent there or they take way too long with others so you end up waiting for quite a bit. In my opinion, it has become quite unprofessional. I would go elsewhere. read more

Son of a B!! I have never had a barber pay more attention to every detail. This place is amazing. If I could I would get my hair cut here until I die. And if I can't I would crawl from my grave to this shop to get my hair cut. read more

I've seen nothing but high rating for the service here and I figured I would bring my boyfriend a non-local to get their hair done before we head out for a big event. My boyfriend loves his barber and was willing to trust strangers with his hair. We came on wed morning before 11am. The barbershop was still empty they welcomed non appointments. He sat down right away the barber was attentive did a great shape up etc. I'm only taking 1 star away because we never went into their computer database and for that one of the barbers not taking care of my boyfriend told him in a not so subtle way to wrap up the haircut like he was taking too much time on him probably cause we possibly would never be back to this barbershop and two because the price said $20 and he charged $22 and he knew it was our first time there . no discount for first time customers or incentive to come back? No my boyfriend won't be a regular but could be have come back for a haircut, yes. Would I have recommended the place to another friend had they asked where to go? Yes. Anyway the cuts are good but the customer service needs work. read more

My boyfriend comes here for a cut and they always do an excellent job. The ambience is very hip and nice. I love the decor. They have a comfortable waiting area where I sit while he gets a cut. read more

This place is the real deal. A classy NYC spot that's local and affordable. Great atmosphere, professional barbers and products. They use all salon quality hair care products and have licensed barbers who have been in the game for years. I've had 3 barbers my whole life, because I'm skeptical of the quality. I found this guy and I haven't looked back since. I wish there were more of these places around!! 5 stars!!! read more

I'm not one to review a barbershop, but in this case I felt the need to share how good of an experience this place is. Besides having a friendly staff, the place has a cool nostalgic feel to it that makes you feel welcome and relaxed. My personal barber (Jeff) never disappoints. He's got a vast array of skills in the hair business that he often shares with his coworkers and obviously shows in his own work. The cut,shave,style service is hands down the best. It involves a no rush haircut and shave process, using only the industries best shave creams,lotions etc...all in all its a chill place with an ambiance that invites you back unknowingly. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed read more

Haven't had a haircut this good in two years period as my hair went from down and bulky to swept back and smooth. Perfect fade on the sides and got a impeccable beard trim and line up. The straight razor line ups are also the smoothest and most comfortable i've ever had. I cant believe this place is in Carteret! read more

I came from Orlando FL to a family gathering and I desperately needed a haircut so I started looking on line and found Washington Cutters. I made an appointment on their website with Gustavo at 12:00pm. As soon as I walked in to Washington Cutters at 11:55am Gustavo was waiting for me. I felt an amazing environment, clean, simple, organized and very friendly. Gustavo's patience & creativity with the haircut that I wanted was really good. The guys thoughtfully created an environment which challenges their guests to define their creativity and their clientele. I'm already well on my way to recommend Washington Cutters and their services as much as I can. Amazing Experience! read more

Nice, upscale barber shop and shave parlor. The staff is awesome and talented, I've always been a regular with "Goose" and he's yet to have failed me. This place is a step above most barber shops in the area. The atmosphere is chill and professional yet you can still have you usual barber shop banter and convos. read more

If you have a job or want to have one, don't let them give you a haircut. Also they were very rude and very unprofessional.

Excellent barbershop. The only issue is the barber my son wanted did not show up for our appointment, even after I received a call to inform us that he was not working on Saturday the date of our original appointment. We were rescheduled for Sunday. He arrived while another barber was cutting us, and he did not apologize for being late. My son was looking forward to this guy cutting his hair. Other than that GREAT job. And Thank you to the barber who filled in. He will see us again. read more

Terrible! So it turned out the day I had went in for a haircut and they had notified me that the barbers went home early (3 hours before closing), the barber was actually the one saying this to me. He straight out lied so he wouldn't have to cut my hair. How do I know this? The next day when I came back, I saw him there cutting someone else's hair! It gets worse from here. The person that cut my hair didn't even listen to what I wanted and just ended up giving me a haircut that was quick and easy. Miles away from what I wanted. He was brushing the comb so hard and fast in my hair that I actually was in pain! I am going somewhere else. Another problem with these youngsters is not taking business seriously. Re-instating to one star rating! Maybe if they would get grills out of their mouth, stop txting while cutting hair, cursing, pulled their pants up and actually followed the given hours of operation, this business would actually become a hit. read more

I am surprised and happy to find this place in suburb area like carteret. I have been getting cuts at various so called 'upscale' spots in NY but this place outnumbered all of them. Ambience, staff skills and attention to detail all at one place. read more
