Overall the Baber provides great service especially for the prices. Had a bit of a wait when I arrived but I believe it’s because he was servicing a child with special needs for which I watched him be patient and skillful. Beyond the wait I was satisfied with my haircut for which time was important because I was going out on a date. I would recommend after trying every other shop in the area I’m content and satisfied with this one.

This review is less about the shop itself and owner, and more about the stylist working there, Nikiah, also known as “The Beauty Bounty.” I booked an appointment with her due to scheduling constraints, despite some red flags up front.
First, she requires a 2–3 day wig drop-off, but since she doesn’t work Sundays or Mondays, she charged me a $30 same-day customization fee- this needs to be noted on her site for Tuesday appointments. Though her response had attitude, I accepted the fee. Upon arrival, I greeted the room with a “hello!” which was responded to with “wig appointment?”
While there, Nikiah took two hours to pluck the wig while messaging me on Instagram instead of speaking to me directly. She complained about the wig’s quality and price, then added an extra charge for HER taking longer than expected... Knowing I had maternity photos the following day at noon and no other options, I felt she was taking advantage. After discussing with my husband, I reluctantly agreed to the additional fee and stayed for the appointment.
I finally got in the chair at 9 PM, and the install finished around 11 PM. I paid, including the additional fees, but she later claimed my deposit wasn’t included in the total she messaged me (which I confirmed before agreeing to the up-charge). 8 months pregnant and exhausted, I left without tipping, which is unusual for me.
When I got home, I realized the wig lace was ripped, over-plucked, drenched in undried glue, and lacked a wig cap underneath for protection. It was also lifting on both sides. A friend, who isn’t even a stylist, drove an hour to fix it before my photos. As you can see, the final unedited result looks way better than what was originally applied.
Overall, this was an unprofessional and disappointing experience. As a new Chief for the state, I was hoping to recommend a good stylist to my colleagues, but Nikiah’s lack of professionalism and kindness ruined that. Ironically, her work station has a “Good Vibes Only” sign—yet she brought nothing but bad vibes, which I should’ve known from the unhappy looks on most of her customers faces on her Instagram page.
Ladies, take my experience as a lesson, save your money and go elsewhere. Also, check the NJ cosmetology board website prior to booking with anyone.

You are sit back to the mirror so you cannot see the mess he’s doing. He ruined my haircut. Couldn’t even do a proper gradient. I guess I’ll wear a hat for the upcoming weeks. Save your money and go somewhere else because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Overall the barbers are sufficient, however the prices are very high for the services provided. The owner “Versace” is shamelessly unprofessional and rude. He overbooks himself, communicates poorly and then blames customers so be prepared to wait.Lastly the barbershop is dirty (Bathroom etc) and I’ve never seen any of the barbers wash hands even after eating lunch. Good luck to those who enter. ??
