Absolutely unacceptable. This was hands down one of the worst haircuts I’ve ever received in my life and I’m not exaggerating. I walked in asking for a low taper fade, something simple, clean, and specific. Instead NJ decided to go freestyle and gave me a high uneven patchy buzz that completely butchered the sides of my head. Terrible job. It looked nothing like what I asked for. Not “a little off” completely wrong, as if my instructions went in one ear and out the other. At that point it didn’t even look like a fade.. just sloppy work with zero attention to detail, no blend, and no care. I still paid $70 and left a tip, because it was close to Thanksgiving and I try to be a decent person. But make no mistake this was a ripoff and I regret every dollar. If you’re charging premium prices you better deliver premium service and this wasn’t even close. If you can’t execute basic barber requests or respect what your client is asking for you have no business holding clippers. I don’t say this lightly, but after this experience, I genuinely question the standards of this entire shop. Can’t trust anyone in there after what happened.

I’m not one to leave bad reviews about places but the more I have thought about it and looked at myself in the mirror. The more it has bothered me. DO NOT GO TO THIS BARBER. They charge close to $100USD for a fifth of a haircut. Where I come from that is $151 Australian dollars. If you go to a fancy place that reckons it is in the ‘premier’ category in Australia it will cost you around $50-$60 for a full haircut and shave. And that is not cheap by any means. After doing some research this is an absurd amount by US standards too. You should lower your prices and stop trying to rip people off who are visiting your country. No Aloha in this price. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is the worst haircut I have ever gotten in my life, and I let my roommate cut my hair during covid and she was no barber. The only upside I had of the day is that the staff are nice and they offer you a nice cold beverage of your choice whilst you wait. Have a look at the photos to see what I paid just under $100USD for and call me a chump. Because that’s what I feel like for being nice and not wanting to embarrass anybody at work and ask for my money back. If you’re going to charge ‘Premier’ prices. Provide a Premier service.

Andres was S tier quality. He was ready early, with a very clean station and positive attitude. This session was tailored specifically for me and my special hair needs. Conversation was great, felt like we had been friends for YEARS. Hair cut was regenerative, I feel like a new person. I can’t wait to come back to his chair. 11 out of 10.

Tina is hands down the best barber I’ve ever had. She really listens to what you want and delivers every single time. The attention to detail, precision, and care she puts into her work is next level. On top of that, she’s professional, friendly, and makes the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. I always leave feeling fresh and confident. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows their craft, Tina is the one. Highly recommend!

My first experience at Premier was with Andres, and he set the bar high from day one. Whether you’re a walk-in or looking for a new barber, Andres is your man. He consistently delivers a FIIRRREE haircut. His scissor work is excellent, and before he starts, he takes the time to verify exactly what you’re looking for so there’s no guesswork. I always get a low taper and it comes out smooth every time. Attention to detail and zero wasted time. Professional, personable, and consistently great quality. Highly recommend Andres.
