Fantastic experience: Jay definitely has a welcoming chair. Always good, high energy. His style of cutting is always perfectionist and a focus. Imperial Barbershop is a place I’m committed to for 10+ years. Thanks Jay
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my hair cut at the Imperial. The ambience and hygeine was impeccable. Shoutout to Angel, he gave me the cut I wanted. I was amazed by how each of the barbers spent time and efforts on every customer.
Fantastic experience: Barbers were too nice and Angel the barber gave me a nice haircut Thank you
Negative experience: Disorganized & , left the barbershop looking and feeling like I got attacked by a cat . Absolutely terrible service . - Fabian Roman
Fantastic experience: He was amazing the best hair cut I ever received and he even did my beard he was amazing best in NJ
Positive experience: Shout-out to Jae.. Great guy and very professional. Loved the experience!!
Negative experience: Poor hair cut and extremely rude. Have been there 5 to 6 times overall. Pretty expensive. Same price for kids. 35$ for 10 mins service - Appointment is never on time. Always starts at least 20 mins after your appointment slot. - Keeps talking to other barbers interrupting your experience while cutting your hair, losing track of what was communicated earlier, and not paying attention as well as not respecting the customers time. - Extremely loud music.
Positive experience: $35 for the kid. Not sure how much it can be for adult. There are no prices on display. After the Hair cut, they will tell you and it can be 35 or 40 or 50 customer can't have any knowing of it. Making sure the prices for hair cut will help decide right choice. I am not going to say it is expensive or not. Not sure how the prices are for regular people in other stores. Anyone can suggest here to improve the customers experience.
Fantastic experience: My first time here and Angel did an amazing job. I usually have gone to other Hoboken/JC salon-barbershops but decided to give Imperial (specifically Angel) after hearing of them from a friend. He definitely did not disappoint!
Fantastic experience: Jae is a really nice barber. Absolutely recommend him. Pays attention to details.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Jae and this barbershop. Made an appointment and they got me in on time. It was my first time giving them a shot and Jae was able to do exactly what I asked for and then some. He went out of his way to trim up my beard and make sure everything was perfect. Great service, friendly staff, and fun environment overall. Very professional, i would definitely go again.

Fantastic experience: Quick and easy. Jae is one of the best barbers that’s cut my hair. Showed him a picture and he was able to cut my hair just as precisely. Would highly recommend booking with Jae.
Negative experience: I walked in for haircut. Did not have an appointment, so i do recommend call before walk in, wait times are extremely long. Moving on to haircut, this feels like a neighborhood barber shop, which is a good feeling. However, this shop is not for me. Environment is not welcoming. If you need typical barber shop haircuts like fades, this is your place. But for styling or something else than typical barber shop haircuts, i would not recommend this place. Went there once, but wont be going again. Not for me. All though these guys are good at what they do. Hope this gives some clarity to others.
Fantastic experience: Jae is our family barber! Always keeping my son, looking clean. 100% recommended.

Fantastic experience: Awesome barbershop! Jae is a very talented and friendly barber would highly recommend anyone who is new to the Jersey city area to go here because their prices are also very fair compared to most other barbers in the area.
Fantastic experience: Jason is great with my son. He’s very Personable and patient. Listens to what i asks for and delivers !
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jason at Imperial Barber, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jason's attention to detail and skill in his craft are truly impressive. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered a perfect cut that exceeded my expectations. Jason’s professionalism and friendly demeanor made the visit enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch barbering services!
Fantastic experience: Jae’s super friendly and always comes through with a great cut. If you’re looking for consistent quality haircuts and great service this is the place.
Fantastic experience: Edwin is a great barber and knows his trade really well. My hair is tricky and he asked the exact right questions that I typically have to explain to other barbers.
Negative experience: I have tried giving this place a shot but every time I make an appointment I get there and the guy tells me he’s already busy where do you make a appointment show up and then get told no multiple times very disappointed. Do not recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: I recently visited this barber shop based on the stellar reviews, and I must say, they exceeded all expectations! My barber (Jae) was not only skilled but also attentive to my preferences, resulting in a haircut that perfectly suited my style. The attention to detail and precision were evident throughout the entire process. Overall, I highly recommend this barber shop to anyone in search of a top-notch grooming experience. I'll definitely be returning for my next haircut!
Fantastic experience: Jae is an excellent barber and he cuts to precision. I’m very satisfied with the haircuts I receive from him.
Fantastic experience: I want to take a moment out and show my appreciation for Edwin at the barbershop. He is an excellent and most artistic barber around Jersey City. He is polite and has a keen attention to every tiny details. I have been a loyal customer at the shop for years and he never fails to impress with his precision and artistry. Whether it's a simple trim or complete style transformation, Edwin at Imperial Barbershop is the way to go. A skilled barber, a friendly person, clean environment and an absolute gem of a place. Highly recommended.
Negative experience: This is the worst hairstyle of my life. I've just arrived in this country and I saw that this barber was well rated, but in the end I was very disappointed. The hairstyle is horrible ! I have holes in my hair and the hairstyle I wanted isn't even that.
Fantastic experience: Moved to jersey city about 2-3 years ago and looking for a new barber was a struggle but I then eventually found this shop and it’s been great since , Jay always gets me right .
Fantastic experience: I moved to JC back in 2018, and have been going to several hair stylists and barber shops for 4 years, till I discovered Imperial Barbershop by doing some online research. I have been going to get a haircut with Jae for 2 years now, and what can I say; the passion, dedication and detail Jae puts every single time I go it's just amazing. You can just explain him the first couple of times how you want your hair done, and he will do it exactly the way you want it to look like. Jae is a master, and a great guy to talk to. I don't know the other guys working there, but it is always a pleasure to share some time with all these guys, they are all welcoming, there is always nice music, funny stories and a lot of laughing; you always have a great time in this place and always leave with a smile. I'd give a 10 stars review if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: This barbershop delivers top-notch service with very skilled barbers. Always a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming barbershop. Great quality haircuts at a reasonable price. Overall, reliable and professional.
Fantastic experience: Jae, is one of the best barbers I’ve come across in a long time. Scheduled a cut in advance but had to switch my appointment the day prior which he accommodated. Shop is clean an atmosphere is laid back. Definitely will be a repeat customer for years to come.
Fantastic experience: Great barbers with a good sense of humor. Been going here for a year now with Jae as my barber and he’s been consistent with good service!
Fantastic experience: I always get a haircut every time I visit Jersey. One of the best barbers on the east coast. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great service, I have become regular since trying out a few Barbers in the area. My boy Edwin definitely takes care of me and does a great fade. A clean and chill atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: 5th time coming to this Barborshop and I can not be more satisfied. Edwin has been cutting my hair every time and I always feel like a new person. He takes his time and is very diligent with detail. He works in a timely fashion and I can always count on him. I highly recommend this Barborshop, everyone’s works great and makes your feel at home. This is not a personal opinion but more of a general insight of this Barborshop. Highly recommend. Check them out, you will not be sorry!!
Negative experience: The head barber cut my neck from behind at 2 places which started bleeding, he didn't inform me. When I checked with my fingers if it was bleeding he tried to cover it up with talcum powder. When I requested to clean it with sanitizer, he said he'll do it after the hair cut. When I insisted and asked to do it myself, he said that he doesn't have time for this. Overall don't come here, these are unprofessional people. I'll raise a formal complaint about it with the authorities.
Fantastic experience: I am from New York and I am always skeptical of new spot but I came here and Jae took great care of me. He is good guy, who does great fade. 100% recommend this spot and I will be going here in the future!
Negative experience: I came to this barbershop because I moved to Jersey city and saw it had good reviews. Came in and asked for Jae but he was out so I went with a barber with arm tattoos instead. I always show a barber a picture of a haircut I usually get and never had an issue. I showed him my picture of how I like my haircut with a fade and trim on top… all he did was do the fade (which didn’t even blend at all, wouldn’t even call it a fade) and barely trimmed the top. He didn’t even wet my hair to trim and just cut only certain areas. He was rushing, not taking his time and as he finished I told him that he didn’t trim the top or front which were still long and he seemed annoyed for asking him to trim. I showed him a picture and he claims he got it but didn't show anything for it. This barber had no idea what he was doing. Again, I never had an issue with getting haircuts and I don’t write reviews but the haircut was terrible. Also this place doesn’t post their prices and they only accept cash. No one informed me that it was cash only and the haircut cost me $40. Save yourself from a bad haircut and not come here. Never coming back. Very disappointing.
Fantastic experience: I moved to JC last year and had to go through a lot of different barbershops to find a good one. The atmosphere there is chill and laid back. I only make my appointments with Jay, he ways does an amazing job. One of the best barbershop in Jersey City.
Positive experience: Saw a good rating so decided to go there. Got a decent fade haircut that I’ve been trying out at different barbershops and it was just like any other. But $40 is too expensive for an average cut.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a customer here for almost a decade and it has been nothing but the best service. All of the staff are friendly and their skills always deliver. One of the best barbershops in Jersey City hands down.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, Barber fast and convenient. Definitely talented. Excellent customer service and great prices. Haircuts look amazing.
Fantastic experience: Jason was absolutely fantastic. Super friendly professional and everything looks perfect and fairly priced. I will not go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Jason is the best baber in town! Highly recommend! Takes great care of you from start to finish and very personable. Clean updated shop.
Fantastic experience: Jay is the greatest, took care of my son and was very helpful and patient. Very talented, highly recommended! Thank you for your service!
Negative experience: One of the guys assumed how I wanted my sides and without asking just cut the whole thing last week, this week I took my son for a haircut he has a long hair the barber couldn't cut it so he tells Jay to cut it I waited over 30 minutes since the barber couldn't stop taking one of the waiting customers all this while the guy on the chair also looked tired of all this time wasting, just because they take too long doesn't mean they spend a lot of time in you more than half is either checking their phone or taking to someone else, so when is finally our turn he asks how much you want to cut it? I said just a little, mostly the ends so he started cutting thinking he would know how to deal with a kid, well he looked impatient of him moving, all this things wouldn't bothered if they did a good job or at least his hair was even, when I got home and took the hat out the sides were so uneven that my wife and I had to fix it I felt so angry with this people,especially when my old barber took 15 min at the same job and clearly knows his.
Fantastic experience: Jay is a phenamenal barber. He takes good care of his clients, and cuts with perfection. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good barber.
Fantastic experience: Jae was extremely kind and professional. My 12 yr old son usually hates hair cuts but was smiling the entire time and left very happy. I would 100 percent going here. Excellent customer service, very personable and ensure that you leave with what you asked for. Thank you! Will definitely be back again.
Fantastic experience: I always get my cut with Jae. I always leave satisfied. Booked on Booksy and got my first cut for $10. The vibe is right at the shop and always chill
Fantastic experience: Came about 2 weeks ago and the barber did a pretty nice job. Really grateful for him. I definitely recommend them!!!
Fantastic experience: My son gets his cuts here he doesn't have any complaints and on Dec 13th he went at about 5:15pm and although they say make an appointment they still cut his hair even though he didn't have an appointment. Great service and job well done.
Fantastic experience: Been cutting my hair here ever since I moved to JC during the 2020 pandemic. Jae is a really great barber and all round person. Always delivers a solid fade and beard shape up. Recommend giving him a call and making a reservation to avoid a wait. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Moving into the area and looking for a barbershop was rough for me until I found this place. I walked in made an appointment with Jae and it’s been a done deal since that. Definitely recommend to anyone new in the area or anyone looking to switch up their barber.
Fantastic experience: Could not have had a better experience with J. He is on-time, has amazing talent and attention to detail which I was looking for and overall awesome spirit. Highly recommend this man!
Negative experience: The fade haircut was overpriced and not properly done ($35 + tip). It was not faded properly and it feels like i just received a trim along the sides which does not "blend into" hair on the top of the head. Except Jae, everyone's quite average there. Make an appointment w/ Jae only if you want your money's worth.
Fantastic experience: I brought my 2 boys including myself to this location. I met Jason and received 3 amazing hair cuts. Nice clean environment as well. Will see you for our next appointments!
Fantastic experience: Incredible barbers, and fair prices. Positive energy in the shop. Fades are their bread and butter. Angel gives really good cuts especially. Recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Jae pays attention to details and gives a great haircut. Couldn’t be happier, would recommend to anyone in the JC area
Fantastic experience: I love Imperial Shave! It’s one of the best barbershops I’ve ever been to. I first started coming to the shop a few years back. My girlfriend was living in Jersey City and I needed a barber in the area, since I spent all my time out there. Jae is one of the best barbers I’ve ever had. Always professional, on time and appts are always met. Anyone who knows, it’s hard to find a consistent barber. Jae is always on point. I moved to Queens and was getting married. I hit Jae up and had an appt for me and my son. Jae had us looking GQ ready. Trust if you stop by this shop, Jae and the other barbers will have you coming back. And you won’t want to go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: My husband goes there for his haircut. The shop is very clean. Cutting equipment is frequently cleaned. All employees wear their masks.They are very friendly and professional. Go there and get your haircut done while listening to some good Spanish music!
Fantastic experience: Jae is one of the best barbers in Jersey City. Professional and always on time. I would recommend him to anyone needing a new barber.
Fantastic experience: Very professional service! Great price and very friendly atmosphere. One of the best haircuts I have ever had.
Fantastic experience: Jay is a great barber. I’ve been taking my son to get a haircut with him for some time now. He’s very professional and friendly. The staff is also courteous and the place is really clean. I love the fact that when I come here I know we’ll be getting great service every time. Definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Great service and great barbers. I made an appointment with Jason and he did an excellent fade, which is hard to find because most barbers are hesitant to give women short, “masculine” haircuts. And it turned out looking awesome! Everyone there is very skilled and professional. I definitely found a barber that I’ll regularly be going to.
Fantastic experience: The best haircut I got being in Jersey. Very professional and talented barber. Highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: Luis is one great barber.. on point and very sharp about what ya need and want... He picked out what would look great on me the shadowing and blending is also on point
Fantastic experience: Jae in the midst of this chaos came to my place and did an awesome job. Would highly recommend imperial shave to anyone needing to freshen up!
Fantastic experience: Amazing Customer Service and Experience! Really appreciate the timeliness and professionalism of the work. Also, awesome music and conversation. And in the end, an amazing haircut...thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: This was my first 'mobile haircut ' and everything went well. I had my hair cut and styled and my mustache and eyebrows were trimmed. I will definitely use this service again. It is a godsend in times like this especially when your local hairstylist is closed.
Fantastic experience: Luis was professional, friendly, punctual and did a great job overall. I'm glad I booked his service and will definitely do it again.
Negative experience: Very small place, and not very hygienic. They touch your head with the same hands that they touch the money and I doubt they clean their hands when they go to the restroom. You have to be very patient because sometimes they take your head like it would be a ball and hit it with the machine very hard (they don’t like to use the scissors though), they are not polite and they want good tips. If you want a more professional service and even cheaper go to another place like a nice mall.
Fantastic experience: We just moved to Jersey City and were looking for new barber shop for my boys. I’m so happy that my husband went to imperial shave. he got the best haircut he ever had. thank you Jae, definitely bringing my teen boys to you too:)
Fantastic experience: Jae is a dope barber and super accommodating! Definitely reccomend this to anyone in need of a clean well done cut. See you again soon Jae!
Fantastic experience: Got a fresh cut from Jae. He takes his time and and is mad thorough. Very reasonable price for a haircut too. Definitely going to be coming back.
Fantastic experience: Imperial Shave is the epitome of a professional and family oriented atmosphere where people are treated not only as clients but as family. It is of no need to explain why when a person goes to get a haircut there they will not go anyplace else. My husband and boys are extremely happy with Jae’s service. We drive all the way from Rahway every time, no questions!
Fantastic experience: Jae was awesome! I recently moved here from Florida and will be going back on a regular basis. Highly recommend Imperial Shave.
Fantastic experience: Hands down! Best barber out here in NJ! He came on time and gave me the look i wanted!! If I could rate Jason more than a 5 star I would. Excellent job bro!!!
Fantastic experience: This place is on point top tier barber in Jae always keeps it professional making sure I leave the shop looking fresh and clean. Highly recommend to come through and check it out, there’s a lot of shops in JC but if you looking for the best this is the one
