I made an appointment for my husband on Sunday because I saw the great reviews and Im so sad to say that this is the worst haircut I have ever seen. Its so miserable I think I could have done a better job. There are so many tiny long strands of hair in the front that I had to cut off.. and the back was completely uneven. They shaved the bottom bit and out of no where long hair sits on top of it. No gradual gradient whatsoever.. it was so sad that I had a great laugh about how bad it was. I mean whoever who did this must have never cut hair before and thats just sad that they do not have a basic standard at this salon.. I cant believe he paid for this to be honest.
I don’t know why is took me 4 years to finally try out Spesh, but I am glad I did. Place was great. Really cool vibe with good music. As a walk in I got 5 minute consultation on what kind of hair cut I wanted before we even started. Rebecca is awesome.
Spesh is definitely the best hair salon in Hoboken and youll certainly get your moneys worth here. John was a true professional, really friendly, with an exceptional atmosphere. Thanks guys!
Great service, always a relaxing and pleasurable time whilst in the chair. John does a great job and has me in and out quickly when Im on the move.
Excellent Service and clean place!!! All the barbers and stylists are great and professional!! I always recommend John!!! John is great!!
If you like to go at a fancy place but need just basic haircut and are willing to spend 2-3 times for the services then this is the place for you.I decided to spend more and not go with their basic haircut in the hope that more money means better barber who can recommend a good haircut. I grew my hair during covid making sure that I have enough hair for barber to work.All my barber did was to cut my hair as short as possible and set them with dryer and gel. In 3-4 days I could see how bad the hair cut was.My other regret is that I did tip 20%+. Frankly in hair salon business tip should be given on the subsequent visit.I will go back to JCP in Newport Mall. I know some really good stylists there.PS: answer to owner “who gets their hair cut in mall?”Those who believe that just because you have a mom and pop shop doesn’t mean you are good. It simply means you overcharge are not probably good. Otherwise you could afford a shop in mall (for your knowledge rents are higher in mall). Keep on ignoring customers review, be condescending - bad days could be ahead of you. Good luck!
I went based on a recommendation and honestly it was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. This is the first time I’ve ever left a poor review for a business because I feel like we are all human and things happen but I couldn’t let this one go! It is now several months after my visit there and I’m still trying to repair my hair. Not only did my color come out horrific and beyond fried but the cut was drastically uneven. For the poor quality services I received I was charged $500! I’m sure there men’s barber services are good but do not ever go here as a women.
I had a great experience.I got my hair cut with Rebecca and she did really great job along with suggesting how to better manage my hair.
Been going here for years, fantastic staff and atmosphere. They care about what they do, it’s not a cheap quick in/out shop.
It was not clear that you would still charge if I missed the appointment, I couldnt make it because of work and I wouldve called but they charged me the full price anyways. Make it more visible that this is the case
What can we say about Spesh? Was looking for a place that was safe, clean and LGBTQ friendly. Spesh did not disappoint. Rebecca is friendly, professional and took me as a walk in while I waited for my sons appointment. Paula did my sons hair and did an incredible job. They followed all safety protocols, even sanitizing the chairs before and after we used them. Thank you very much Spesh for making us feel welcome and doing such a terrific job. You will see us again.
A local barber recommended speak as I was looking to make a dramatic change to my long hair. I visited Splesh Friday morning and booked an appointment for later the same day. My stylist would be Nancy. I arrived on time and was in the chair within 7 minutes. I was scared to make this change to my hair, but Nancy assured me we would go slow. I couldn’t have been happier with my results. Navy rocked my hair, gave me suggestions on managing it and gave me a cut that compliments my personality. Awesome service, awesome staff and great music. I’ll be back and have found my stylist!!
Rebecca gave me an excellent cut - she listened and did just as I asked and was also super nice. Great value and experience.
20/10 - stellar job by Steven. Brought volume and hydration back to my crazy curls and gave me a solid cut to highlight my natural look. Great atmosphere, great conversation and most importantly, walked out with the biggest smile.
The only barber or salon Ive ever been where I never leave disappointed. Thanks, Elvis!
The best place in Hoboken to get a haircut for men! As soon as you walk in you can tell this is not your ordinary barbershop. The shop is extremely clean and has an awesome ambiance. The receptionist attends to you right away and always offers a drink. Ive been a customer with Steven for over a year and will never go anywhere else. His precision and style is exactly what you are looking for if you want a top quality cut and style. Highly recommend!
These guys know their stuff. It’s a bit pricy, but you get a great cut!
Amazing staff of professional hair stylists and staff. CLEAN and well run shop. Always a STRESS FREE experience when I get my son and my hair cut here. Couldnt be happier.
High quality cut in a fun and relaxing environment. Highly recommend everyone in the city of Hoboken and surrounding areas check out Spesh. Highly recommend Steven or Paula.
I had great experience with this place. Tyler and Kai provide great service with affordable price.Owner of Spesh, can you please tell me where are they now?
Great guys, very clean place and tools, clean it up after every client, that is great. Good style and attention to details. They do have appointments, a plus for busy people. A bit expensive tho.
I have been to Spesh 5-6 times since moving to Hoboken. The service has been great during each visit and a cut was $45 plus tip ( not inexpensive but good quality). Unfortunately, when going to book my next appointment I realized they increased their prices significantly. Now a haircut with tip is in the $75 range. I’m fine paying more for better quality, but within reason. I will be looking for a new spot to go now.
Great haircut. Unfortunately prices have almost doubled in under 6 months and “menu” no longer provides for a simple “men’s haircut”. After 1 year of dedication to Spesh, unfortunately I won’t be going back. Spesh, bad business move man....
I started getting my haircut here with Don since a month ago. I stopped dreading about my next haircut ever since. He has numerous years of experience and knows what type of hair goes well with every individual. Now I wouldnt rely on anybody else to cut my hair. I would recommend him anybody looking for a fresh cut!
I travel around 40 min to go to Spesh specifically for the music and the awesome talent. Today I had Paula and she was fantastic. Just a good soul and down to earth. She gave me a super clean cut. I got a little frazzled when she styled my hair because it’s not how I usually wear it, but when styled how I’m ‘used to’ it was a bang up job. I will be back and will keep using her for sure.
Excellent experience for my toddler’s first haircut!
Honestly, the best barber in the greater New York/New Jersey area. Steven has a passion for getting your hair styled the best! Services range from fades, tapers, beard /mustache styling, haircuts for kids and more. He also carries a range of great hair products for you to choose from.
I love this place. The vibes are great. I love how clean it is and makes sense to charge a little more given the COVID-19 circumstances. Barbers take their time with the haircut and spend extra time sanitizing their instruments and stations before taking you in. Given the current state of the world I do appreciate a place that takes extra steps in cleanliness and safety measures. Everyone here is an expert, super friendly and knowledgeable in sanitation and cosmetology. Worth every penny.
I booked my appointment online through their website and was told to see Paula who is a beard expert.My appointment was for 3:30 and Paula had me in the chair and ready to go at 3:31, so already a great start with timing.Paula was absolutely fantastic, details and quick... but never rushed. She made sure everything was to my liking, and groomed my beard perfectly.The shop is clean, booking is easy & their location is even easier! The owner Steven is super cool and has been a Hoboken resident for quite some time.Highly recommend Spesh to anyone on the fence, and go see Paula for your beard trim/clean up!
Steven and his team of great stylists have some incredible talent. Steven Torres is an expert stylist with over 10 years of experience. The perfect hair cut can be the reason why you get your next promotion at work, a hot date, a new job, a business proposition or even getting the reassurance of feeling confident about yourself.
I’ve been going to Spesh since they opened last year, and I can honestly say that I’ve never been happier with my hair. They really take the time to get it right every time, and it is always a great experience. In a town with tons of options, Spesh is a cut about the rest and one of the most valuable adds to the community in years!
What a wonderful place! I have only been a couple times but will definitely be back. Cynthia is a talented, friendly, and professional stylist that takes great pride in her work. I always have a positive experience and the prices are really reasonable for the quality you get!
Funky barber shop/ hair salon in the heart of Hoboken. Friendly, eclectic, and extremely talented staff! The owner is one of a kind. He stays closely connected with his clients and is ever evolving to the needs of the surrounding area. Stop in for a full service and fun experience. You may even get to meet Tony, what a treat!
Been to Spesh for two cuts now. Really appreciate the focus on quality, and the vibe in the shop is relaxed and easy going. Book with Don, he’ll take care of you no doubt!
The best darn cut & style in the new york area. Such a cool and classic barbershop feel with the care and precision of a salon. Great prices and quality haircuts. Plus Steven is such a nice guy!
Convenient location and easy to access. I love this place. Steven was my stylist and he’s truly an expert. Not only does my haircut look fresh, he gave me some suggestions on products to use as well. Truly the best barbershop in Hoboken. The decor on the inside is pretty unique as well and colorful.
There are many salons and barbershops in Hoboken that offer a good haircut, but last week I needed a hair cut for a very important event and I made the decision to come here. Let me tell you my haircut was great! I didn’t know what I was missing out on until I came here. Steven and his team of artists do miracles and there are many reasons why everyone loves this place!
I moved to Miami Beach in August of 2017 and have still not managed to find a great place to get a haircut. I was in NY/NJ for a few weeks and remembered Spesh as I thought the name was cool. So happy to say that I would actually fly back each month to get a cut it was that good.Steph, you are amazing, thank you so much, you were excellent and if I am in NJ, you will be my only go-to for my hair from now on.Steven, you have a very cool business which stands out from all the competition. I really hope you do well as you deserve it. Also...if you ever see expansion on the horizon, Miami Beach is crying out for a great place like Spesh.
When traveling to Hoboken I decided to check out Spesh. I was incredibly impressed with the friendliness, cleanliness and service at Spesh Barbershop. Due to my facial features, a short hairstyle thats short on the back and the sides of the head as well as slightly long on the top is what best suits me. When explaining this to one of the stylists he told me that he knew exactly what I was looking for. It turned out great and the high school reunion I attended later that week was full of tons of positive compliments, most of which were about my hair! :-)
Good haircut. On the more expensive side. Bad customer service and cancellation policy. I booked an appointment less than 24 hours in advance and there was plenty of availability. I called a few hours before the appointment and told them I could not make it due to unforeseen circumstances. They charged me half the price of the expensive haircut for cancelling and told me it was due to taking up time that someone else could have reserved. Although there was plenty of availability on the schedule. Ive been here 5-10 times, but will not be going back.Edit: Owner acknowledges the cancellation policy is pretty whack and claims it is to protect staff from frequent no shows. If this was true then there would be a first or second time forgiveness clause which many other barbers offer, especially under special circumstances. It appears the policy is more to cater to greed than loyalty and an oh well attitude from the owner falls short of creating a welcome atmosphere.
Can’t get any better than the wizard of fades. Spesh is the best men’s salon in Hoboken. Awesome array of products, attention to detail and also a comfortable atmosphere. Traditional barbershop services along with exquisite styling. Be sure to check these guys out.
Best haircut in town. Ive been going to Steven for years now and his new place has a great atmosphere and style to it. Top notch stylists at very reasonable prices. Stop wasting your time at other places and go get yourself a spesh.
Spesh has sort of a barber shop feel to it - the decor is basic, though they have some nice art up. The clientele is gender-mixed, with more men than women, but nobody seems to be worried about it. They do beard care as well as hair cutting, for those who need that. I always feel welcomed, and I am an older, plump (white) woman who sometimes feels a little out of place in salons.
Ive been going to the Spesh since it opened. Fun atmosphere, very talented staff. The owner Steve takes great pride in his business and it shows. They have a customer for life.
New location, same great service! Been going to Steven for 3 years now, and the quality of haircut gets better every time. Always up on the new styles, extremely consistent and the new location is gorgeous. Highly recommend.
I have been coming here since it opened in 2017. Steven and Co. are the best! Awesome hair cuts each time.
Absolutely the finest men’s salon in the New York area. The top stylists around and quite honestly the best haircut I’ve had in years. If you’re looking for a men’s salon in Hoboken, go here!
Spesh is a top notch spot. I was looking as sharp as ever. Thanks Steven!
Cool Vibes, Fantastic Haircut. If youre looking for a great haircut with atmosphere to match, then give Spesh a try. You wont be disappointed.
Spesh, Steven & co provided five star service and the best summer cut! Chill atmosphere, professional, and perfect music to complete an excellent experience. Highly recommended! Book a spot with at Spesh!
They did an amazing job with my husbands hair. Very happy with it
Great atmosphere with even greater Barbers. Steve was super patient and knew exactly how to execute the percise style I had invisoned for myself. Everyone was super friendly and the music kept the shops vibes very chilled. Would highly recommend
Just left the Spesh and I’m feeling like a million bucks, great haircut and awesome customer service. They even show you how to style your hair after they cut it 👍🏻 I’ll definitely be going back.
Welcoming vibe Steven is absolutely an amazing barber and surrounds himself with other stylist that bring out the vibe even more, have been going to Steven since I was 18 years old and 6 years later Ive yet to ever be disappointed. Great place great service great atmosphere if youve just moved to Hoboken and dont have a barber/stylist Spesh is the place you to go to.
Steven has taken his talents as a stylist to a new level with Spesh. Amazing space and atmosphere combined with a great haircut creates an environment that is second to none.
Great place, always a great vibe. Stephanie is awesome great cut and color, would definitely recommend to my friends.
The best salon for all types of haircuts in hoboken. My wife and I were traveling in town and looking for a place to acommodate both of us for a quality haircut and styling. A few friends in the area reccommended this place. I am so glad we went. My wifes hair looks so gorgeous! Very friendly service and a very clean shop!
They give great cuts consistently. Convenient location on Washington St and a good atmosphere.
The best mens barbershop in Hoboken, NJ hands down! My husband and I had an anniversary coming up so we were looking for a place that was classy and upscale but with great value. We met with Steven, the owner of spesh. My husband has never looked so handsome and Steven is truly an expert stylist! The best barbershop for a top of the line haircut!
Ask for Elvis! One of the best cuts ever. Skill on 10.
Was very tempted to deviate from Steve as it seems the Latino pee wee Herman also cuts hair here, but I simply couldnt compromise as Steve always delivers on the Spesh...I left feeling Speciale! Thanks Team! Next time Pee Wee...
Dont get haircuts often. Got one here for a wedding and it was an awesome experience.
Fantastic service, never disappointed! Great music and great staff, EVERYBODY NEEDS A RAISE!!!! 5 STARS!!!
It took me forever to find a hairstylist who was good with scissors and a buzzer, but luckily I came across SPESH nestled right in the heart of Hoboken.Everyone at the salon is super friendly and welcoming, from the receptionist to all the stylists. After my first hair cut here last year I never looked back at my old barber. I get a great haircut every time and not once have had to wait!I highly recommend SPESH to anyone who is looking for a great haircut.
First time at Spesh and Steph did not disappoint. The hours, the prices, the atmosphere - everything about this place makes sense 👍
Friendly and welcoming. Stephanie did a great job!
Steven! He is the man! Passionate about his work. Tried several places, but can’t find anyone/place the way he and his team can cut my hair.
Great atmosphere and even better service. Never disappointed with the results, Steve is truly a master of his craft.
Steven is top shelf and Hoboken is lucky to have him. High end stylist at a great price...give Spesh a look!
Clean atmosphere and trendy place to get your haircut done.
Great atmosphere, music, and service. Cynthia did an amazing job with my haircut.
Great haircut and awesome people. Thanks Kai for the cut!
The best men’s salon there is.
I used to live really close and get my haircut here but I have since moved. I now drive an hour just to get my haircut here and its completely worth it!
Great haircut! Took his time the whole way.
Ive have visited Several hair spots. While some are ok, ok really doesnt cut it. Im happy to have found this place (actually my wife told me about them, theyre on IG) Anyhow Jean Paul was excellent. I felt comfortable with him immediately. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he executed the job top notch. While he was friendly and talkative at times he was quiet because he really was concentrating and focused. It seems many haircutrers have like one trick but JP has chops. thanks!
Amazing service - I just moved to Hoboken and walked in off the street and got an awesome haircut from Cynthia! Friendly place, Ill be a regular!
Wonderful cuts knowledgeable staff
Whats the point of booking an appointment if they make you wait 20 mins anyways ?
Nice staff and very knowledgeable. Will return for sure
Great hairstylists and friendly people, especially my man Elvis
Awesome people, awesome cuts.
Great saloon overall!
Best cut, best people
Cynthia was very friendly and walked away with a great cut
Overpriced given the quality
Rockstars!
Spesh is the real deal
