Scissorhands Barber Shop & Shave Parlor

Being from Philly, it took me two years before I was willing to get my head cut in NJ. Two of my co-workers had sharp head cuts consistently. So I asked them separately, where they got their cuts. They both said the same place and gave the same name. I have been a loyal customer to the barber ever since. If you need a barber with skill who is consistent and cool, ask for Jay. He is the best barber in NJ as far as I'm concerned. Tell him you saw this review. If he's not in, ask for Khayree. He crazy sharp with it too. Anybody else I can't speak on. Place has a nice vibe too. Long as Jay there and I'm in this area, I'm there.

Pros:
-Single barber who takes his time with each of his customers (and is friendly)
-Only $20
-A 5 min walk from the Yard on College Ave

Cons:
-Fairly long waits
-Does not open at exactly 9 (opens about an hour and a half)

I arrived at about 10, but the doors were still closed until about 1030 (so my first impressions we're iffy). I was behind 1 person, and I waited about 15-20 mins, but it was worth the wait. The barber gave me probably one of the best cuts (a taper/fade) I've ever gotten. Overall the pros outweigh the cons, so I recommend this barbershop 100%.

Since 2016, when I found scissorhands, Jay has been the only person I have let cut my hair. He does a great job, is super friendly, and the place doesn’t try to be too fancy like other shops. Not going to find a better haircut for a low price in central jersey

A great place to get a haircut for college students. They give discounts every Monday and Tuesday if you have your RU ID. Jay, the barber in particular gave me a really nice skin fade and shape-up and I recommend him if you’re looking for a cut.

Ask for Jay. If you go to Rutgers, this is a good place to go. I’ve tried a few barbers in New Brunswick while at school and Jay is by far the best I’ve been to. Clean line ups, great tapers, need i say more.

Jay hooked me up with a clean cut, shoutout scissor hands valid barbershop place. If you're new to Rutgers or NB in general I would recommend this place for your first cut.

Easton Ave Scissor hands always comes through. Their hours are always as listed and they have the best barbers. Hands down Jay in the 1st chair is always my go to. Very knowledgeable when it comes to all types of hair textures and that’s exactly what Makes a great barber.

Scissorhands Barber Shop is an example of true craftsmanship at work. Jay is a consummate professional who is detailed oriented and personable. I have been going there close to a year now and I highly recommend the service which is followed by complimentary results!

I went there a week ago and G gave me a fantastic fade. I've been going to this place for roughly two years and each barber has given me excellent cuts. The only drawback is that there are no appointments so you have to get lucky time wise.

Best barbershop on Easton. $16 for haircuts Monday’s and Tuesday’s if you're a Rutgers student and the quality is fantastic. The only shop in New Bruns I trust and they have yet to ever let me down.

I've been going to Jay for awhile now and EVERYTIME I get a haircut from him it's a five star cut!! Whatever I want to change it to, he exceeds expectations. Number 1 barber in Brunswick for sure!!

Very clean place. Jay lined me up properly. I'll be back for another cut for sure

Was a great experience, Jay will leave your hair looking fresh and clean. Good personalities all around, definitely my go to barber shop now.

They cut hair to give you the best finishing here even on your first visit, definitely a regular spot. I had a cut with Jay, 10/10 would recommend.

They're the best barbers in New Brunswick. This is the only shop around Rutgers where I can go to and know I'll be leaving with a great cut.

Great customer service, professionalism, and quality-- this place is a gem! All the guys here really know what they're doing and it shows in the haircuts they give. Highly recommend!
