THE SOCIAL Barber Co. — Local services in Cliffside Park

From the moment I walked through the doors of The Social Barber Co., I knew I was in for a unique experience. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—modern and stylish, yet inviting and comfortable. It is not just a place to get a haircut; it’s a community, a vibe, a lifestyle.

One person who stands as a testament to this brilliant atmosphere is Gio, one of their master barbers. A wizard with his clippers and a maestro with the scissors, Gio has an intuitive sense for what his clients are looking for. Whether you're in the chair for a quick trim or a complete style overhaul, he is attentive, consultative, and remarkably skilled.

The first aspect to highlight about Gio is his incredible attention to detail. Every snip and shave is meticulous and purposeful. He treats every haircut as an art form, and it’s evident in the way he crafts a look tailored to each client. In my case, he took my vague description of “clean but not too short” and turned it into the best haircut I've ever had.

Gio's expertise extends beyond just cutting hair. He is a true gentleman's barber, versed in all aspects of grooming. From a flawless fade to a precise beard trim, and even advice on products to keep your look fresh and healthy, Gio is more than a barber; he is a grooming guide.

But what really sets Gio apart is his charisma. He is a people person through and through. Conversations with him flow effortlessly—from the latest sports news to insightful life advice—and this, coupled with his masterful skill, makes every appointment feel like catching up with an old friend.

The Social Barber Co. itself is another reason why this place is exceptional. The design of the shop is stylish and sleek—reminiscent of a classic barber shop, but with a contemporary twist. The staff is consistently professional, the shop is impeccably clean, and the added touches—like offering a cold beverage upon arrival or a warm towel service—indicate a level of service above and beyond what...

Alyssa has been my barber now for a few months. SHE IS AMAZING (honestly, the entire staff is... they all help one another and it's a true family atmosphere). I literally love her. As someone who made the transition to men's haircuts and was learning from the ground up, she has immersed herself in the craft. She is very friendly, professional and aims to always have me leave the chair in great spirits, feeling fresh. I always look forward to chatting with her. Even on the days where I'm so tired (haircuts are really relaxing for me) that i fall asleep in the chair, i have zero qualms because I trust Alyssa's judgment. Her haircuts are pure fire and she is worth checking out. The shop overall is clean, and calming. They do not play loud, garbage music, and usually have throwback music videos or (my favorite) a dog channel on. It's mindless content that truly allows me to relax. Elson, the owner is a cool dude and always remembers everyone who walks in. It has that CHEERS vibe. I HIGHLY...

i’ve sat on whether or not to do this review but it would be a disservice to my child and children everywhere if i didn’t speak up because the haircut my son received is atrocious. i grew his hair out for months in anticipation for our trip to the east coast so he could get a proper haircut only for it to look like he cut his hair himself with hedge clippers. my sons hair is uneven and choppy, it looks terrible whether it’s styled or not. i can only assume the guy who doesn’t like children and wants them all to have terrible haircuts because i truly do not know how the end result could be what it is. to say i’m unhappy is an understatement. i implore you to NOT bring your kids here unless you want them to look like they went through a...
