Hunterdon Central High School - 5 Min on Route 31
HCRHS students and parents: Hairlines Barbershop sits just up Route 31 from Hunterdon Central Regional High School - about 5 minutes north on the same road. Walk-ins welcome. Student haircuts just $26 by Master Barber Paul Montera, NJ State licensed with 40+ years of fades, tapers, and precision line-ups for Hunterdon County students.
Hunterdon Central Regional High School (HCRHS) draws more than 2,500 students from Flemington, Raritan Township, Readington, Delaware Township, East Amwell, and West Amwell. That is a lot of teenagers needing fresh fades, taper cuts, comb-overs, and beard line-ups. Hairlines Barbershop is the closest classic barbershop to HCRHS - 5 minutes north on Route 31, no turns required.
Master Barber Paul Montera has been cutting Hunterdon County students for decades. A third-generation barber trained in New York and NJ State licensed, Paul delivers the kind of clean fades, sharp line-ups, and straight razor edge work that HCRHS students expect - at the kind of price ($26 for student haircuts) that works for a student budget, or a parent's, or for two brothers getting cut on the same afternoon.
Same rate for any Hunterdon Central student, freshman to senior. No coupon, no special day - just ask for the student rate. Add a beard trim for $10 more. Walk-ins welcome or book online at vagaro.com/hairlinesbarbershopllc.
Tue-Fri 7am-6pm - Sat 6am-2pm - Sunday and Monday Closed

Paul Montera is a third-generation barber - son of a New York barber, trained in New York, licensed by the State of New Jersey. He has owned and operated Hairlines Barbershop in Flemington Borough since 2001, continuing a tradition that dates to the 1930s. Many of his current Hunterdon Central student clients are the children of the last generation of HCRHS students he cut.
Paul's scissor-over-comb technique, precision fades, and straight razor edge work are virtually extinct at chain salons. Hunterdon Central students who have made the 5-minute trip on Route 31 once rarely go anywhere else for a cut.
