Reviews of Spesh (Barber Shop)

Armando Rivera

Seth Sherry

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.

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!

Dan Scalco

Great haircut! Took his time the whole way.

Paril Mehta

I have been coming here since it opened in 2017. Steven and Co. are the best! Awesome hair cuts each time.

Andrew Haltwhistle

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!

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.

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

The best men's 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!

James Dudas

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!

Milan Rusk

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!

Cynthia was very friendly and walked away with a great cut

Michael Trivett

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

Cool Vibes, Fantastic Haircut. If you're looking for a great haircut with atmosphere to match, then give Spesh a try. You won't be disappointed.

Mike Strip

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.

Gary W

Steven is top shelf and Hoboken is lucky to have him. High end stylist at a great price...give Spesh a look!

Chris Trinidad

Clean atmosphere and trendy place to get your haircut done.

Eric Kane

Spesh is the best shop in town. Easy booking, skilled barbers, and a great atmosphere.

Sergei Mellow

Don't get haircuts often. Got one here for a wedding and it was an awesome experience.

Doctor X

They give great cuts consistently. Convenient location on Washington St and a good atmosphere.

Harold Gainer

Awesome people, awesome cuts.

Jen Diaz

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 that's 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! :-)

Mark Ian Gould

Spesh is a top notch spot. I was looking as sharp as ever. Thanks Steven!

Andy Fromgu

The best men’s salon there is.

Russ MInio

I've 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.

Gino Ferrazzano

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.

Romell Bhaala

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!

Ryan Torres

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 I've yet to ever be disappointed. Great place great service great atmosphere if you've just moved to Hoboken and don't have a barber/stylist Spesh is the place you to go to.

Atlas 7

Friendly and welcoming. Stephanie did a great job!

Tatsu Mori

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!

Michael Ash

Best haircut in town. I've 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.

Danielle de Lopez

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!

Eric Amato

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.

Kai Gonzalez

Ask for Elvis! One of the best cuts ever. Skill on 10.

Matthew C.

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. I've 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.

Robert Bunuelo

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.

Elvis Lopez

Great haircut and awesome people. Thanks Kai for the cut!

Zach Foody

Was very tempted to deviate from Steve as it seems the Latino pee wee Herman also cuts hair here, but I simply couldn't compromise as Steve always delivers on the Spesh...I left feeling Speciale! Thanks Team! Next time Pee Wee...

Tim Furth

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.

Nimesh Patel

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.

Lenore Jean Jones

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.

Bogdan Gologan

Great saloon overall!

Stephen Altieri

Best cut, best people

Tim Paik

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 wouldn't rely on anybody else to cut my hair. I would recommend him anybody looking for a fresh cut!

Neeko Z

I've have visited Several hair spots. While some are ok, ok really doesn't cut it. I'm happy to have found this place (actually my wife told me about them, they're 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!

jak 84

Overpriced given the quality

Matthew Bourchier

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.

Francis McCarthy

Amazing service - I just moved to Hoboken and walked in off the street and got an awesome haircut from Cynthia! Friendly place, I'll be a regular!

Charlie Hinoki

What's the point of booking an appointment if they make you wait 20 mins anyways ?

Rene Durand

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.

Rene Otoole

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!

Adam French

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 it's completely worth it!

Corey Payraudeau

Nice staff and very knowledgeable. Will return for sure

J Y

Rockstars!

Kenny Freeman

First time at Spesh and Steph did not disappoint. The hours, the prices, the atmosphere - everything about this place makes sense

Arthur Fitzgerald

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 wife's hair looks so gorgeous! Very friendly service and a very clean shop!

Jonathan Dworkin

Spesh is the real deal

Grant P

Wonderful cuts knowledgeable staff

James Barbuto

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!

Eliazar Hernandez

Love this place. Get your cut with Kai!
