Markdaniel Barbershop

Been here a few times now as I’ve just moved to the neighborhood. Very impressed with the shop. Very chill place, good people, excellent haircuts and a solid straight razor shave. Mark the owner is a knowledgeable and friendly guy. I have gotten two cuts and a shave from Justin and he is excellent.
This place is worth a visit for sure. Really not sure what the people who have posted negative reviews were looking for, maybe they meant to go to a salon.
Keep up the good work fellas.

Just had my first haircut with Mark. This guy is an artist and pays attention to detail. Highly recommended.
Went for my second cut with Mark today ⁶⁄₁₅ to see if the first cut was a fluke. Again, perfection. As long as I live in this area Mark is the only guy who’s going to cut my hair.

The owner called me a little after I posted my review and offered a diff barber for the next day, but as my review says I already had an appointment with my hometown barber. Thought it was nice customer service.

My fiancé went here for a traditional ½ shave and hot towel experience from a true shave master because he is growing out his beard for the first time in years and wanted to do it right. I will say he looked fabulous when he came home. I want to thank Mark for making him look gorgeous! Rich told me the place is very comfortable and the people were extremely friendly. I advised him to make this a regular place to visit so he can keep looking fabulous all summer. Ladies, treat your guy to a special treatment at this establishment, my fiancé really loved the experience and Mark’s talent shows all over my Rich’s face :)

While I was excited to try this retro shop, it turned out to be a disappointment. For 40 dollars (35 $ shave plus tip) I expected the shave not to hurt, which it did, and to not come away from the experience wth any razor burn. Well, here I am four days later with vile razor burn. And it’s not normal like you get from a 5 blade razor, I have these hard white calcified skin pockets all over my beard now.
Another thing that totally pissed me off about the shop keep was how he kept asking me if I needed a haircut. And I had just got a new haircut, so it was insulting he kept asking me if I wanted to get mine cut.
While I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, I’m sure it’s more for haircuts and not hot shaves anyway.

This place is just awesome. The atmosphere is great and the barbers are on point. I go to Mark and he is very detailed in his haircuts, like other reviews said he isn’t a barber he is an artist. He really takes the time to make sure everything is right and gives great advice on how to style your hair. Previously I had gone to the Hoboken Man which my haircut was always done in 15 minutes and I never left there feeling like I got an amazing cut, when I leave here I am always happy. The cuts take a bit longer but its because the barbers/​artists here are really concerned about the end product and attention to detail, unlike when I was going to the Hoboken Man and it was in and out in 15 minutes. All around an awesome place

I am very very picky when it comes to barbers and barbershops. I was looking for weeks for a barbershop when I moved back to New Jersey and it was hard to find a good place that didn’t have a bunch of teeny bopper criminals running around. Then I found this barbershop and it had everything I was looking for. A professional environment and knowledgeable barbers with diverse styles. I cant even think about going anywhere else, if I can’t make it in for a haircut because of my schedule I won’t even consider going elsewhere. I highly recommend anyone looking for a barbershop to come here.

Saw the Unilocal post on highlighted barber shops. Made an appt mid afternoon for later that day. Walked across town. Was told they are running behind. Had one on the chair and another in the hole.
Unimpressed. My time is worth less than theirs. If I was late, I would have called. On to the next shop.

I have followed Mike to Mark Daniels barbershop and have been getting my hair cut by him for several months. My three boys also get their haircuts by Mike.
There are times you get what you pay for and haircuts at this barbershop are no exception. Every haircut is a superior experience. Mike takes the time to ask you how you would like to get your hair cut and then gets to work! His attention to detail is outstanding with each cut expertly tailored to each of us. The vibe is really relaxed and atmosphere is really comfortable with none of us ever feeling rushed at all.
We always get compliments on haircuts from our family and friends after every visit.
Thank you Mike, Mark and everyone at Mark Daniels!

Doesn’t get any better than this barber. It wasn’t till I discovered Mark that I realized I’ve never had a good haircut.
I used to hate getting a haircut, not anymore. Mark’s attention to detail is amazing.
Visit this barber. You’ll be glad you did. Thumbs up for the online appointment booking.

I totally agree that the environment and decoration are excellent, making me feel comfortable. But there is some problem with the haircut itself.
Then man who took care of me was a newbie beginner who didn’t establish good skills. Nor did he pay enough attention to my request and to this cut. So the result was my back hair was shaved like a cliff and my left side had a little hair uncut.
I gave a 2-​star at first but changed my mind after Mark gave me a call, trying to rescue my haircut. It’s possible to fix it because my hair is already short enough. But I appreciate Mark’s feedback. I changed the star to 4, otherwise, it’s kinda unfair for the store.
I deleted the barber’s name, in hope that he would study and grow fast to be an excellent barber.

This place lacks professionalism. Usually in other places an appointment is respected. Here you wait for half an hour past your appointment while the barber takes on other people who have come after you, goes for a smoke break, uses the restroom and then happens to remember there’s a customer to be served. Unfortunately a shot of whisky is not going to offset the lack of professionalism and pathetic customer service. Been here a few times, but the sheer callous attitude is the only thing apparent! Go elsewhere.

Best haircut I have gotten in my life. I’m not even exaggerating one bit. These guys really care about your hair, which is why they have maintained their flawless reputation. Aside the cut, great atmosphere, great people, great whiskey. Don’t go anywhere else in Hoboken…

I’ll keep it plain and simple. I’ve been to almost every mens salon, barbershop you name it in Hoboken. Owner Mark has made this place, spot on the best men’s cut in Hoboken.
Nolan is the bomb — I’ve been going since day one with him and always give me a great cut.

I went in for a haircut and beard trim a few weeks ago. The online booking system is great and I was able to get an appointment with Mark. His attention to detail was amazing… honestly the best haircut I’ve ever gotten.
He did a perfect job getting the look I described and was very personable… an all around cool cat. His passion for his work and incredible talent will ensure he is around for a long time.

At the end of the day it is the best haircut you will get in Hoboken with someone who cares about the finished product. Once you come here you will never have to go anywhere else. The owner, Mark, treats every customer like a VIP and makes sure you have the best experience possible.
One of the 1^st things I noticed is the amount of light that comes into the space. It is refreshing to have natural light and not be pushed into some back corner with bad lighting. They greet you at the door and offer you shot or if an expresso is your thing they have that also.
I was someone who went from going to SuperCuts (budget) on Washington to one of those fancy hairstylists in the city. Eventually the stylist became ridiculously expensive and I came back to Hoboken to get my haircuts. That is where I met Mark and have followed him into NYC and now back again to Hoboken. I guess you can say I am a groupie at this point. Haha
He takes complete pride in his work and has such attention to detail. He cleans up neck with a straight razor which makes me feel I am in 1950’s which is awesome and my favorite part is the hot towel at the end. People around my office always give me compliments on my hair. It happens after every haircut without fail.

Been here several times now and every time has been top notch. I have been, for the better part of a decade, getting chronically disappointed with the cuts I get. 1 woman, in the past 15 years, can I recall good enough to request again at any place I’ve been. This place though, I am happy to say I could sit in any seat and be confident with the cut. They do a great job, even down to the straight-​razor fading.
Also the music is legit and who doesn’t like a whiskey shot? $ 30 for a cut but well, well worth it.

Great new barbershop just opened in the neighborhood and I stopped in to check it out today because I needed a haircut.
The shop is super clean and fresh with white walls and old barber chairs. It just has a nice classic feel. The experience starts off with a whiskey or espresso and Mark takes his time to make sure you get a precision cut and then it ends with a razor clean up and minty hot towel.
$ 30 for the cut. I recommend getting your haircut here!

Nice to see something other than a nail salon or bar open up in uptown Hoboken.
I live just a block away and have mostly been going to Hoboken Hair. They do a decent job but I figure I should give the new guys a shot. Always want to support local businesses, especially good ones.
My 4 year old son and I both needed hair cuts. Bill cut my son’s hair and Mark did mine. They don’t have a cutesy kids chair or video setup like some other places but they’ll spend a lot more time and attention to your kids haircut than anywhere else in Hoboken. Bill put in just as much effort into my son’s haircut as he would an adult. I’m sick of going to these hair salons and barbers in Hoboken who don’t really put much effort into the kids haircuts. If you’ve got a mature kid who knows how to sit still in a barber’s chair, he’ll get a better cut here than anywhere else in Hoboken.
I was also very pleased with my haircut. Most white guys don’t know how to cut Asian hair. Mark did a pretty good job with mine.
This may sound silly but I was really drawn to the ambiance of the barber shop. The interior design is very classic, refined and would look great in a photoshoot for a design magazine. I asked Mark about it and he did it all himself, which is pretty impressive. Obviously a multi-​talented guy!
Definitely recommend Markdaniel Barbershop for adults and kids.

So glad I followed Mark over from NYC, classic barbershop. Great brand new spot with old school feel.
Mark is extremely talented and has a great rapport with everyone. Give him a specific style and he accommodates, or let him make you look good.
Either way great location and loyal customer for life. I would recommend him to anyone who can get to Hoboken.
