Metuchen Barbershop

The new owner purchased this establishment about two years ago. She knew the original owner who started to think about retiring and saw her opportunity to finally have her own business. The three chair barber shop only has one barber, Joyce herself. Although she has another female employee she is in training to complete her license. There is approximately 5 or 6 chairs for her customers. The shop is small but, comfortable. There is a bathroom, television, air conditioning and even an outdoor bench, where you may see some of her customers. Her customers are both male and female, so don't be surprised to see women in her shop. She doesn't take reservations but, accommodating. Most likely you will have to wait to get a haircut. Best to go early in the morning. She has a parking lot in back

I have to admit that when this business opened up, the people had been very nice and hours were good. But recently, one never knows when they’re going to be open. I have been there several times and they were closed for vacation, because they were sick, and today, Columbus Day, I called at 10 AM got there at 11 AM and they were closed already. I could say would be my fault if I didn’t call, but I did. The lady who answered the phone should’ve told me what time they were closing today and they did not. I find it an unreliable business! Initially, I had no problem paying the $25 per haircut, but now I see there is no reason to pay extra for inconvenience. Once again, I go for a haircut and they’re away on vacation. If you call, they don’t have an answering machine telling you they’re on vac

"I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut at this shop , and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Not only is she incredibly skilled at her craft, but she's also one of the friendliest and most professional barbers I've ever met. From the moment I walked into her shop, I felt welcomed and at ease. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and offered her expert advice to ensure I got the perfect haircut.

Nice little shop, simple and to the point, you want a nice haircut and that's what you will get. Second haircut, Joyce remembered that and as she said, as people return she becomes more accustomed to their cuts. Glad I found this shop after my previous barber retired.

Joyce is an expert barber! If you’re looking for a standard, casual, or professional haircut, Metuchen Barbershop is the place to go. While the shop is walk-in only, there is rarely a long wait. Try to go earlier in the day. Because her shop is so popular and it is just her cutting hair, sometimes she has to close the shop a little early. Accepts cash and Venmo.
