Supercuts

I was going to Hoboken Hair every other month because it was pretty cheap and close. I started to dislike the haircut I was receiving, even though it was kind of cheap. I decided I would give Super Cuts a try and boy am I glad I did. First of all Sadé is my favorite. She gives a great cut and always has great recommendations for myself.
Great service and great prices.

I called ahead to ask if I could come in for highlights and a cut. I was told I could make the appointment and was told the price for the service. While I was on my way to the appointment, they called me and asked if I could get there earlier because apparently they needed more time to do my hair, which was why I called to ask in the first place. When I told them I was almost there (which was even before my original appointment), they told me I couldn’t come and that the price they originally gave me was not correct. This experience tells me that they are extremely disorganized. I would have liked to have been told that I couldn’t come in the first place so that I was not rushing to the appointment.
When I had previously been there for a cut, I had to wait, even when I had made an appointment and the stylists acted annoyed that I was even there. I will not be going back.

I have been going to this location for about 7 years and I had a very bad experience this morning. I had to mention this so others wont have this issue ever again. Hopefully management will notice. It’s been a couple weeks since I returned to get my normal haircut, with Cindy and when I arrived at 8:05 this morning to get my haircut, I was told «she doesn’t work here anymore» with an attitude. I thought nothing of it until they actually shut the door on me, when the hours state 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM. I stood outside for a couple of minutes to wait and noticed they were drinking coffee in the back while I waited outside and it was 8:05 am. Are you serious? That is so rude. Why? Very bad hospitality. I would stay away from this location and go to the one on Route 3. Never again will i return.

If I could give this place 0 stars and still leave a review I would.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I usually get my hair cut at Super Cuts, I just moved to the area and went here a few days before an interview to get my cut cleaned up and I walked out fuming.
The girl cutting my hair left it choppy (in a bad way) and very visibly uneven. She cut my hair wet, dried it, showed it to me and I told her it wasn’t what I wanted could she please fix it – she says ok and starts dry cutting my hair! I have straight hair, it should not be dry cut, ever!
I walked out very upset. I went to another local place — Avanti Beauty — and when the woman there saw my hair she said «oh my God what did she do to you!»
Avoid. At. All. Costs.

Absolutely awful! If I could give it no stars I would. I set up an online appointment and when I walked in there were two women working and I was treated as though I was bothering them. And although there was no line, a man who had walked in a couple minutes before me with no appointment was taken before me and then I had to wait for the woman to sweep the floors and finish her conversation with her co-​worker before she would take me. She also informed me that my appointment should have been cancelled since they only accept appointments made one hour in advance. There was no mention of this on the website and at the time, there was only myself and one guy in there. And again I felt unwelcome like I was bothering them!
Then, I asked for a simple trim straight across, nothing difficult. She cut my hair quickly and instead of thoroughly inspecting how straight my hair was cut (which is difficult since I have long dark hair that blends into the black cloak you have on), I assumed she cut it correctly and even gave her an $ 8 tip on an $ 18 trim.
Unfortunately, I came home washed and dried my hair and saw that it was completely chopped! A five year old could have done a better job! I now need to go get it cut again in order to fix the mess she made of my hair! If I could reverse the charge, I would. I should NOT have to pay to be treated rudely and have my hair hacked!
I will never go here again. I assumed anyone working at a hair place would understand what a straight line is and how to trim hair! Obviously not here…
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!

I had two great experiences at this salon. Sade, was my stylist and she rocks. She gave me my best cut in the past five years.
The online check-​in service was helpful too.

I have been to this supercuts a bunch of times more in Hoboken and every time I walk in I’m taken care of in less then 15 Minutes regardless of the day. The one day where it was a bit of a mad house was on St. Patrick’s day and that day is crazy in Hoboken in itself. Very clean and very nice people.

Not a bad place for a quick haircut. The quality of the haircut depends on who cuts your hair but you are able to request a stylist. The lounge is ok to wait in with seating for 5 – 6 but you are able to call ahead and make an appointment.

Wonderful place, great service, and terrific price. First time there, stylist JP spent 45 minutes until the cut was perfect. He did a great job, and it was only $ 21!

WORST. HAIRCUT. I. HAVE. EVER. HAD. This may simply be bad luck, as this is solely based on the barber that ended up cutting my hair. Let’s just say that the expression «you get what you pay for» doesn’t come close to describing my experience. I do not expect to pay $ 18 plus tip to be rushed through my haircut and then gestured out of the chair MULTIPLE TIMES when I hadn’t even confirmed that I was ok with the cut which, if you haven’t guessed, turned out to be a horrible, horrible cut. I’ve been to many other Supercuts that charge less and have barbers that at least ATTEMPT to do a good job. Disgusting.

Dear Long Hairs:
It is not worth it if you want to save money and/​or time.
Trust me, you do not want to risk it.
It is better if you wait one/​two more days or simply spend the double or triple at a PROFESSIONAL Hair Salon.
Sincerely,
Exlonghair Girl.

Very happy with the cut I got today, but also the service was really good. I felt that for the price I would get no service but this place is better then some places I’ve been too.
Also, I was given the opportunity to explain what I wanted without the hairstylist arrogantly telling me what’s best for me. Will definitely be revisiting.
Tip: very good for curly hair.

I’m in the midst of a busy day, but I figured taking some some to write a quick review wouldn’t be the worst idea. Supercuts in Hoboken is a bit hit or miss, but in my humble opinion hits more often then it misses.
Yes, the cuts are a bit expensive at almost 18 a pop. Yes, it’s not «salon quality». If you have the right expectation, you will usually walk away happy. It’s a basic haircut that might not be the best, but it’s good enough and gets the job done.
Some of the stylists definitely have a «I’m not even supposed to be here today!» look on their face and aren’t exactly pleasant. I don’t need a gregarious person to cut my hair, I prefer to be in and out.
I think it helps that my hair is pretty basic, and therefore difficult to mess up. I say the same thing every time. «I want what I have now, just less of it». To be frank (rather be Carl), just cut off a bunch of my hair and I’m a happy guy!
If you have a tough style or are going for coloring or any of that real «salon» type stuff, I’d stay the heck away from here. That’s not what this place is meant for in my eyes.

I can say that is a walk in place, you sit, cut and leave. So for $ 17,95 it’s not too bad. I wanted to save money specially because I can blow out my own hair and wash it so for what I wanted why pay more for the same service.

I would only go back in an emergency and only after considering shaving my head first.
Where to start. I wasn’t even offered a shampoo. They didn’t spray water on my hair before cutting, I didn’t think that was possible. I asked for a trim (scissors) on top yet she still used a buzzer, but on only half my head! Also another first. Without gel my hair is slanted a la Kid N Play from the 90s.
I also had my sideburns and beard butchered. I grew out a week long beard which anyone could see especially since I just groomed before going here. Yet for some reason she mumbled whether I wanted my sideburns leveled off or blended. I didn’t understand, so it’s partially my fault, but apparently the leveling off options means taking an edger to half your face in order to create sideburns. Beard gone. Or at least comically ruined.
My sideburns were straight until she went to finalize her work. Despite staring in the mirror and lining things up with her fingers one was at least a half inch shorter when she finished.
All of this for $ 4 – 6 more than any other Supercuts in the area.
Since I can work around this mess with gel, and there was no wait (I wonder why), they get a second star. But go anywhere else or just shave your head. This place isn’t worth the aggravation.

I really don’t want to give them 1 star, but I have no other choice. Here’s what happened:
My sister was getting married — I can’t do my own updo, nor do i like them. I really like when my hair is blown out by someone other than myself, especially because it’ll usually last longer without frizzing up. My regular salon was not open, so I decided to go to supercuts because I mean who can mess up a blow out? Even if they’re just out of beauty school, they would have to be able to straighten my hair, right? That’s like the first day of school isn’t it? Well, no, I was very wrong. My hair was frizzy, I had to tell her to go over my hair with flat iron to calm it down. She then tried to drown my hair in some oil — i Had to stop her she had already put enough of the oil, it didn’t need anymore. This was all after being there for a total of one hour and 45 minutes for a simple blow out. I was in a rush, the bride — my sister — was calling. Now stylists, every single one and even my current stylist who I have been going to for about 4 years, will always point out that i have A LOT OF HAIR. I understand my hair is a task, but 1hour and 45 minutes worth of task with frizzies at the end? No, I don’t think so. Save yourself the money ($ 30!!!) and avoid this place.

Barber college.
What happens when you betray your regular barber for convenience and proximity?
You leave with an uneven, rushed haircut by someone who walks away from the chair 3 times, removes the smock so the hair gets all over your clothes, and then gives you a neck rub with a hot towel that gets your shirt wet for the walk home. This mistake is mine, I own it, I accept, and shall live and learn from it.
THANKS Supercuts!

This place is the worst. Every time I go here, I end up walking out with a terrible haircut. I will never go back here. If you’re considering patronizing SuperCuts in Hoboken, just cut your hair yourself at home. It won’t be any worse than what you’ll get at this place, and you’ll save $ 20. I hate being a hater, but they’re just not good.

$ 18 for a haircut is pretty steep. The cut was fine, no complaints, but I can get the same cheaper elsewhere.
I can say though that I had a short wait for a walk-​in. That’s always a plus.

I don’t understand people who write a review complaining about something AFTER it has happened. If something — especially a service — isn’t going your way, say something WHILE it is happening. «I don’t like the way you are cutting my hair, can you do this instead?» is a lot more productive than remaining silent, and walking out with a crappy haircut, only to come here and complain.
With that said, this place is great. There are quite a few stylists, Kara is certainly one of them, as is Laura, who are better. But you can’t come here thinking you are going to get a $ 200 cut for $ 17. That’s not the business model they have; they are set up to give low cost, efficient, passable haircuts. An expectation above that, you should spend the money.
And don’t bring your kids here unless they are well behaved. No one likes a crying child — anywhere. Cut their hair at home until they can compose themselves to sit in a chair and get a decent haircut, from any decent stylist that is here.
