Level 8 Barber Shop — Local services in West Orange

I made my second appointment to get a haircut with Chris recently. I was reminded immediately why I enjoyed my first experience so much I had to come back! The door remains locked so that one of the barbers can come to the door to take your temperature. Masks and gloves are worn by everyone present, and I am seated immediately for my appointment. Chris asks me if I'm really gonna do the big chop today, cutting 15-20 inches of hair and taking my undercut up to a high fade. After setting me up, I received the best haircut I've ever had. Chris took his time and checked with me every step of the way to make sure I was comfortable with the length of hair he was leaving for me. At the end of the haircut I was so happy with the care and quality of my lineup, my actual hair's length, the way Chris styled it for me. I would highly recommend him to the public, but I urge you to try any of the other barber's as well. Everyone I've observed in 8 to 8 is very clean and professional with their clients and provides a great service. Also, the price is incredibly low for the level of care given to all of the client's at this...

My son had picture day and his normal barber at another barber shop closed. Panicking I took my son just for a simple shape up. I felt so bad when I saw my son this barber botched his hair so bad. Didn’t even fade his hair in the back and did such a terrible job. Not only that he practically chopped all of my sons curls! A years worth of growth gone! I don’t even want to mention the hairline it was pushed back and made a circular shape. My 13 looked at me so upset that I made a rash move to take him there. I don’t blame, I sent him to school late the following day to his normal barber to fix his hair. Jermaine was the gentleman that cut his hair and I should’ve known something was wrong when he cut a full head of hair in 25 minutes.

I wish he would’ve told me he didn’t have experience with my sons hair texture because he literally chopped all of my sons hair off and left bald spots and a patch of hair like a mushroom top. We will never ever return. If you’re looking for good barbers, with a clean shop go to Steel McCleans in south orange—they’re experienced with all hair textures and only hire the...

I went as a walk-in customer and after my cut I setup an appointment for the following week and was told that I was confirmed for 10am. But the next week when I arrived I was told that since I didn’t have an appointment that the barber couldn’t serve me and I should come back at 3 pm if I want a cut. I was pretty upset at the fact that I planned my day and it meant absolutely nothing to him and he made it seem like I was at his mercy. I left the place very upset and ended up finding another barber at a place called OMEGA BARBERSHOP in east orange who by the way did an amazing job and will go to him from now on.

In closing I would like to add that I love supporting small businesses but when they don’t value me as a customer their is absolutely no way that I would go back or recommend anybody else to go either.

I gave them 1 star but if I could I would give...
