The shop is clean, professional, and has a great atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about their work. I have been using the same barber for years and he always takes his time and gets it perfect. The attention to detail is always top notch. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality cut and great experience.

I came back for my second visit. Had an appointment today and showed up about 5 min early. Once I showed up they told me they were taking a break and said I would need to go to the other location an hour and a half later. Keep in mind they charge 25$ to cancle last min, do I get 25$??? Never going back dont hire people who dont want to work.

Very happy with my experience here! I was changing my style to have a longer beard and needed help with shaking and trimming it to look clean. The barber was super attentive and totally understood what I was going for. Very happy with the outcome!

I've been getting my hair cut by Theard for a while now, and I can honestly say—he's a master of his craft. More than just a barber, he's someone who genuinely cares about making people look and feel their best. Every time I leave his chair, I feel good.
He's meticulous, personable, and takes pride in his work. Beyond the skills, it's the atmosphere he creates that stands out. Easy conversations, good vibes, and a real sense of connection—it's what sets him apart.
Highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work with heart behind it.

I've been going to Carlos at Virile Barber Shop for about two years now, and I can honestly say the haircuts just keep getting better. He's consistently sharp with the details, listens to what you want, and is great at offering suggestions when needed.
Carlos also does a great job of building real connections with his clients — conversations always feel easy, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the people in his chair.
The shop itself is a great spot too — calming atmosphere, super friendly staff, and just an all-around solid place to get a haircut. Highly recommend Carlos if you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to talk to.

Hands down the best barbershop in Jersey City. Always has a sick ass team working, and the vibes are always classy and cool. Been going to this shop since 2022 and i don’t think i’ll ever go anywhere else. Carlos is my main barber but i trust everyone with the blade that works at Virile.
Classy, cool and quality.
Shout out to Rich, Dave, Julian, Theard, Marc(monmouth) and Jesus (monmouth) for always making me feel like home when i stop in.

I'm writing this review in hopes it reaches Virile management. I was scheduled for a full haircut & beard with Theard today at the Jersey ave location for 12pm. Which I arrived at 12pm but wasn't able to find parking till about 12:15pm. Upon entering the barbershop at 12:20pm Theard immediately looks at me and says he wont be able to cut my beard and will only be able to do the haircut. Mind you I just drove by the barbershop at 12:10pm before finding my parking spot and saw someone sitting in the chair. This is my third haircut with theard, I had 2-45 min appts scheduled in advance one for today 7/13 and another for 8/3. I think the Virile atmosphere is very nice and the quality of service is amazing. I also understand the need to keep a tight schedule but if you were behind 10mins with your previous client and I'm 20mins late with a grace period of 15mins I don't think its fair to say you can't cut my beard because I'm late.

Virile Barbershop has an incredible, welcoming vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. From the moment you walk in, you’re offered beer, whiskey, coffee, or water—such a great touch, especially after a long day.
The barbers here are top-notch. Carlos took me from ratchet to immaculate, really listening to what I wanted and making sure every detail was perfect. The whole experience was relaxing, and I’m already looking forward to my next appointment.
Heads-up: this place books up fast, so definitely schedule online in advance. Feeling great today—highly recommend!
