Against Da Grain Barber Shop

Swan at **Against the Grain Barbershop** was amazing with my 13-year-old son, who has special needs. He was patient, gentle, and spoke in a calm, reassuring way that helped my son feel relaxed and comfortable during his haircut. As a mom, I’m so grateful to find someone who takes the time to make the experience positive and safe. Highly recommend Swan — we’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been going to Against Da Grain for over 20 years, and there’s a reason I’ve never gone anywhere else. This barbershop is more than just a place to get a cut—it’s family. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with handshakes, respect, and genuine kindness. The atmosphere is always positive, family-oriented, and you’re guaranteed to get a good laugh every time you’re there. The barbers truly care about their craft and their customers. Sean, Saled, Terry, Swan, and Dan and everyone I didnt mention are all excellent barbers, each one consistently delivers top-tier work and makes you feel right at home. If you’re looking for quality cuts, great people, and a barbershop that treats you like family, Against Da Grain is the place. Highly recommended.

$35. For a 14 year old?!!! I was taken by surprise by the skill of Swan. My son wanted a low cut for the first time in 4 years. We went to Google and they recommended this shop for the reviews and distance. Very glad I came. I usually drive to Jersey they charge 25.

The new spot at 56 Beach St. is a major upgrade from the old shop. It’s so new and clean with a welcoming atmosphere and amazing art on the wall. All the barbers working here and very experienced and nice to all customers, I’ve been going to my guy Danny for years and he always gives me the best cuts.

Thanks Shawn for cutting my husband hair. Although It was our first time visiting the shop, it had a family feel 🤗. The environment of the shop gave a "GOOD VIBES ONLY." Thanks Yazmin for referring us here!!!
