Staging Area

Hands down, the best barber shop in Central Jersey! John and Angel are incredibly down-to-earth guys who work hard and make their craft look effortless. Their talent and dedication are truly unmatched. I only wish I had found this place sooner! They deliver great haircuts at fair prices, all while creating a social and welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place you thought only existed in movies or on TV—a true hidden gem. Highly recommend! I mean they have a front porch you can chill on while waiting your turn! Cmon!

Absolutely great. Both John and Angel are awesome guys, stand-up type of guys, will shake your hand, call you sir and do you right! If you want a haircut on a Thurs/Fri though, best to call in and make an appt as they get busy!

Clean well run shop with the owner, John, and on other barber. I had a pleasant experience, but John didn't listen to me. He took too much off, despite me telling him I only wanted a light trim. And chopped off my sideburns even though I told him that I wanted them the same length

John at the Staging Area is the one to see if you have a child with difficulty getting his hair cut. For about 6 or 7 years my husband cut our son's hair because he would get so upset at salons. One person refused to cut his hair because he was crying so much and that was the last time I took him to a shop. My older son went to John a few times and recommended him so we gave it a try. My younger son was apprehensive at first but soon calmed down (even smiled!) as John asked him questions and made conversation through the visit. I could not believe the transformation!! A few days after the haircut, my son said his hair was getting a little too long as asked if we could go back! Every visit is a pleasure now and he still begs to go back. Thank you, John, for your patience and skill, and for

I brought my teenage son here for a haircut. My son has some special needs. The guys were awesome at making him feel at home and definitely made him feel very cool. He now won’t go anywhere else. I’m glad he has found a place that gives him confidence AND a great haircut.
