Went to Ferry Street Barber shop today for a beard trim for the first time. I've walked by numerous times as I worked in Newark- but never went insidr. I've been going to the same barber in my town since I was a child, but he no longer trims beards- which is the service I was seeking. I was greeted by Gilmar, who listened carefully (through my wife translating- I don't speak Portuguse or Spanish- that's a me problem and not anything negative against him) and he took his time trimming my beard. A few weeks ago- I made the mistake of going to Super Cuts for a trim and it was mediocre- but Gilmar was fantastic and fixed the neckline I had been unhappy with. He even trimmed behind the ears and back of the neck which made the beard and everything else look clean. This is my first time growing out my beard so I'm thrilled I have a barber who can trim it and shape it perfectly (I've tried myself and let's just say Super Cuts even did better). Gilmar is a gem, friendly, listens, amd trims the way I asked without pushing back- I hope to make him my permanent beard trimmer (and possible barber- but one step at a time)! I will conclude with the fact that the other barbers there were doing great work with their customers as well. If you need a haircut- visit Gilmar (or any of the barbers) for a quality and super duper affordable haircut or beard trim. I hope someone passes this on to him! Edit: Been there twice since this last review. The second time I got David who was okay, then Gilmar this time. His haircuts are precise, too!
Owner's response
Thank you Robert, Gilmar is a true gentleman and professional. I will surely pass it on!

I thought the haircut was alright until I got home and realized how uneven the guy cut my hair. First haircut I had to go home and finish the job. I also don't think his tools were clean cuz I ended up getting red bumps on my scalp after the cut even though I didn't apply any product to it. Not going back here
Owner's response
Hi Trevor, I am truly sorry that your haircut wasn’t up to par, not acceptable at all, but I assure you that the tools and implements in my shop are diligently kept cleaned and sanitized. Many men temporarily get bumps on their neck after a hot lather razor shave.

Best barbershop I’ve personally been to. Prices are good. Service is great; they use warm towel on the face prior to shaving for example. Owner is very friendly and treats everyone respectfully. Wait times aren’t too long because of having a lot of barbers that are well skilled. Typically move from barber to barber but been coming here for a bit and don’t see myself changing anytime soon.
Owner's response
Thank you Filipe!

25 years of coming to this place… 15 years bringing my son along… Always left this spot feeling like million dollars. Fresh cut and a hot shave can make a world of difference… The barbers working there are great.. Say Hi to Joe when you go..

Thanks Mike! Very much appreciate your support and loyalty!

Joe is the best barber I’ve ever been to, hands down. I work in business and need to look sharp for meetings and client visits, and Joe nails it every single time. He’s precise, consistent, and genuinely takes pride in his work. You can tell he pays attention to detail and cares about how you walk out of the chair. On top of that, he’s a great guy and makes every appointment an easy, enjoyable experience. Highly recommend him to anyone who wants a clean, professional cut done right.
Owner's response
Thank you so much Bobby!

The place is terrific. Great cuts and the staff, especially Joe, has the skills needed to be the best barber around.

Thanks Gerard!

I've been going there close to, jeez, 30 years. Ever since I skippered the engine company around the corner. I think that alone is a pretty awesome review and the fact that I return to Newark to this day because of the great haircuts and yes, some good conversation is even further proof that nobody does it better.
Owner's response
Thank you Jack, you’re right, around 30 years. My dad and I very much appreciate your loyalty and friendship!

I am severely disappointed with the service we received as our request for the haircut was ignored. My brother showed the barber a photo of exactly what he wanted and he received nothing like what he got. I included the before (2)and afters (3,4,5) of his hair as well as the reference(1) that he showed the barber. Real bummer.
Owner's response
Hi Emily, for the record, that’s not the photo that was shown to the barber. The hair on the model is clearly much longer than your brother’s, making it impossible to replicate. Having said that, it is not the level and quality of work that I expect and demand of my professionals and it has been addressed.
