Redemption Barber Co LLC — Local services in Montclair

Great service hands down! Today was my first visit at Royal Barbers and I was already in a funk because my previous appointment at a different shop cancelled my appointment because it was cutting close to their closing hours. You can only imagine how frustrated I was. I've had bad experiences in the past going to just any barbershop (won't mention any names) so I was skeptical about going here in fear of having déjà vu but I needed a haircut BADLY because I have an interview on Tuesday.

My barber was Aaron. He could already tell how tense I was from the beginning but he took the challenge. I wanted to get my undercut fixed (I've been trying to grow it out now since February. The last barber (different barbershop) did not know what an undercut was and chopped half my hair off and gave me a spiked skin Mohawk!) Aaron asked a lot of open ended and follow up questions to get get a clear understanding of what I wanted. He made sure he summarized what it was I wanted and made sure we were both on the same page. (That threw me off because it's very rare that a barber/hairstylist will do that) Aaron made small talk along the way to try and make me feel more comfortable in his chair. The ending results F*ing AMAZING!!!! This is by far the best haircut I recieved this year (since moving back to SoCal) I've officially converted into a returning client. If you're in the IE, SGV go see Aaron at Royal Barbers he had mad talent no lie.

Thanks again bro I'll be seeing you soon and referring any and everyone...

I walked in to ask if there was any availability for my son to receive a haircut, upon opening the door a huge dog came running at us. I had to block my son from said dog as the owner came running after and saying he wont do anything he is a "puppy", I dont really appreciate any unleashed dog running at me or my children... "Puppy" or not. After we got into the shop I walked in and stood at the counter where every single person in there just stared at us; not one worker there greeted us or tried to help. I felt like an alien and unwelcomed. After a few minutes of being stared at with no conversation from the 5 workers there i started to look around and came upon a sign stating that everything was cash only... So after all that I tried to make contact with a guy at the first cutting station where I received two word sentence. Extremely rude and uncomfortable place of business as well as dangerous with unleashed running dogs racing toward customers at...

DON’T GET YOUR HAIR CUT HERE!!!!!!!! I’ve been coming to this shop for about 8 months. Gotten my hair cut by a few of the barbers. The young lady that cuts in the chair closest to the door, is super sweet and really nice. However dealing with Andrew twice has now caused me to leave and never come back. The first time I dealt with him, he put his cousin in front of me(I made an appointment), who didn’t have an appointment. How do I know? He told me as he was cutting my hair. The second time, I had an appointment, I waited and he put someone else in front of me again. Don’t go here! The owner doesn’t keep his people in line. It’s a family operation so your complaints will fall...
