After three visits to Tony's, I wasn't sure he knew I had ears, Total conversation, How do you want it cut?? Nothing after that, so I never went back!!

Tony's 'Traditional ' Barber Shop.... Best haircuts by real licensed Master Barbers, Tony & Linda. Great regular cuts,fades,flat-tops,crew cuts and layered mens hairstyling. They do it all, also voted the cleanest barber shop in Monmouth County.Thanks so much to all of my devoted, loyal customers.

Best Barbers!!!!!!! A" real Barber shop" should consist of the following: layered cuts, crew cuts, flat tops,shape ups, regular cuts .. this shop is a real Barber shop. Tony and Linda (master Barbers) can do it all...and should be considered the only "real Barber shop."

Tony's is not only the best barber shop in Matawan, it's the best barber shop in the tri-state area! My husband & I live in the city and he prefers to get his hair cut at Tony's whenever he can. Tony's Traditional all the way!!

I drive all the way from Colonia for a haircut & shave at Calabrese's. If you're going anywhere else, you're probably getting a free bowl of soup with your cut.

Tony's is by far the best shop in town. Beautiful clean space, friendly barbers and the most consistent cut I've gotten. I don't know about some of the comments who are obviously friends or family (a woman drives 40 min to go to a barber?) but from an actual customer who has actually been to all four shops, my vote would go to Tony any day.
