#34 - V's Barbershop - Chatham in Chatham, NJ

The overall barbershop itself is classy and looks like a spot to get a decent cut from, except that was not the case for me. I'm very particular with who I let cut my hair, but in a pinch for Valentine's Day, I decided to give this spot a chance since it's close enough to my job to get cut during my lunch break. Bad decision. Mert, I believe was his name, was very nice and gentle, but what I explained I wanted for a haircut is not at all what I got. I'm Jamaican and Albanian with longish (5" roughly) 3b curly hair (not anymore after this haircut) and requested to just have a low taper on the sides, and a lineup including beard. I said I may have some split ends, so maybe I'll trim very little off my hair just to keep it healthy. Mert proceeded to comb out my hair with a brush (1st mistake and I should've stopped him here) then completely buzz up the whole back of my head, and at that point, there was no turning back to correct this screw up. I let him finish in hopes that my haircut wouldn't look terrible, but the cut progressively got worse. I stopped him towards the end after he trimmed inches off the top of my hair to ensure I'd still have some curls left and not a buzz cut and had to have him blend my hair better because it looked terrible. I told him to just box line up the front corners and the cup line the sides into the beard.. this was the worst part of the haircut and it seemed Mert had never lined anyone up like this before. I was left with uneven sideburns and a screwed up mustache, I even had to lift the front of my hair because as he was "box lining me up" he was cutting off the curls that droop over my forehead. This is actually the worst haircut I've ever gotten, zero exaggeration. I typically don't leave reviews because I'm not one to complain, but if you're black/spanish with curly hair or want a typical shape up/edge up, this is not the spot for you. I'm beyond disappointed with my haircut.

I went to V's barbershop in Chatham and have had the worst experience. I got a haircut along with my two sons. The barber's there did not know how to cut hair and we are now waiting for our hair to grow back a bit so that we can go and get them cut properly at another barbershop.

Take it from me and get your hair cut elsewhere, this place is a joke. I'm new to the area and was looking for a new barber so given the high reviews and modest price point, I thought I would give V's a try. Big mistake. My barber was Nick and he did such an incredibly poor job on my hair. I have a very simple ask, size 2 clippers on the side and the back with scissors on the top. I don't understand how one side of my head has shorter hair than the other. Furthermore, he went up far too high on the back so my hair on top looks like I have a bowl cut. Not to mention I have small hairs around my ears and other places that look completely out of place. $45 down the drain for this abomination. Needless to say I won't be returning. App deleted. The search continues for a reputable barber in the area.

Highly recommend this barbershop. Been going here for about three years and never have been disappointed. I am in Morristown local but had trouble finding a reasonably priced shop. check them out

I went in to get my face shaved but left with several cuts and hairs still on my face. The haircuts seemed fine, but I won't be returning to get another shave.
