V’s Barbershop

1114 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ

A trip to this men’s barbershop makes for a great father and son outing. V’s may be a national chain, but it does a nice job of retaining a classic, local, old-timey feel. They even offer shoeshines. With black and white photos of sports icons decorating the walls, and multiple TVs, they have the aesthetic of a family sports bar and grill, creating a fun social atmosphere for sports fans. Kids cuts are $19.

X Overcutz

590 Kearny Ave, Kearny, NJ

Kids cuts are $18.

Hoboken Buzz Cuts

113 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ

This little full-service salon (not just buzz cuts) is affordable and not overly trendy, while remaining clean and professional. It has a family vibe, and readily greets little ones with a police car chair and lollipops. In addition to their reasonable prices, they offer promotions in their email list, as well as on facebook and yelp, so search the internet before you go for some great discounts. It’s also an ideal place for walk-ins, and the wait isn’t typically long. Kids cuts are $17. With wash, $21. Bangs are $8.

Carlo’s Hairspot

1021 Broadway, Bayonne, NJ

This is a well-established barbershop for the whole family in a perfect location if you live in the southern half of Hudson County. This family-owned shop has a relaxing, friendly, fun atmosphere, and boasts many long-time patrons. They don’t specialize, and are not overly trendy. Instead, they focus on serving all ages, both young and old, and are very popular with families. Kids haircuts are very reasonably priced at $14.

Hoboken Hair (Uptown Location)

109 14th St, Hoboken, NJ

If you’re looking for a child-friendly cut slightly more north, then the uptown location of Hoboken Hair is a great choice. They provide cuts for any age, and are equipped with multiple distractions like toys, kids movies, and lollipops, to help children stay still and preoccupied throughout the cut.
