Went to this NEX, randomly, because I needed an emergency hair cut. I sat in Joan’s chair. JOAN CAN CUT SOME HAIR. I saw some of the white guys she cut and she hooked them up. Then me, skeptically, asked her to just clean up the sides. Then, once I saw she knew what she was doing, asked for a completely different cut. She hooked me up. And was very sweet about it. 10/10 would go back.

Decent size NEX with all your essential snacks, hygiene, clothes, jewelry, alcoholic drink and home good needs. NOTE: uniform items sold across the street, at the Uniform Shop. This NEX has Subway restaurant as well as Barbershop. ($12 for haircut)

The Exchange is great. Wide variety of items, and good customer service.The Barbershop on the other hand...A majority of the ladies in there can't cut hair. Plain and simple. They behave as if they've received no professional training; Very laid back demeanor, which would be fine if the cuts were halfway decent. Maybe one or two actually know how to cut Afro-American hair, the rest just do the bare minimum and charge you for lackluster service.The only thing consistent about the barbershop is consistent disappointment.

They've renovated the store so much since 2017, it looks completely different. Honestly I'd say it's comparable to the huge NEX in Groton, CT (Just a bit smaller). The range of products has definitely increased, and the interior is significantly upgraded. I never thought it looked bad before, but now it looks amazing.

Good quality products are sold here tax free for military personnel. Ground floor houses clothes, fashion accessories and general goods. First floor houses electronic and electrical devices like TV sets, phones, phone accessories, games, and stuff. Access is restricted to people allowed into the base and purchases is based on show of ID card. The staff are courteous, friendly and helpful.

One of the better Exchanges I have been to. Wish it got more attention and visits by patrons. Almost never busy which is great in most ways. Prices can't be beat. Staff is very friendly and they always have enough check-out lines so the wait is short on the few times it is busy. I go whenever I can.

Always happy with my visit to The Exchange and is a great privilege for all that have served. The only question I have is when it comes to advertising the branches Air Force Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Navy there has been little or "No" recognition via clothing with a logo nor window stickers to advertise Service Active, Reserve or Retired for Army personnel nor amy other items for Army personal existing in the Navy Exchange - I just do not wish to travel to West Point to get things along these lines. I have asked in the past about such items as to Active & Retired Army Military members at this Exchange but have not seen anything on the shelves.

Clean, limited selection and where did all the deals go? It seems the NEX/BX have a few hooks to get you in there, then only rely on the tax free status as your discount/savings. Long gone are those all inclusive shopping trips that under cut Wal-Mart by 15-30%.

The staff are friendly, and the prices are great. You can purchase alcohol, groceries, and any other amenities you might need. The have a great clothing selection as well. Just make sure you bring your military ID with you.

Dont do it, messed up my hairline and pushed my hair back in place. Went to look at it later and saw that about 1 inch of my hairline on the left side was pushed back giving it a bald patch look. Go to a civilian barber or just do it yourself not worth it.

Babara at the Barber Shop. She does not pay attention and gives a terrible haircut. She cut my hair three years ago when I was at the base for training. Left a complaint then. I thought she looked familiar. Turns out some lady. She finished my haircut in two minutes. Worst I have ever seen/had.

One of the smaller exchanges, so they don't have as wide a variety as other bases, but beautiful merchandise, all high end. They eliminated their children's department, which is sad, and have recently been doing construction to improve.

Great selection for a small store. I haven't been to an exchange in a few years. I will be back. I saw some cute things for Christmas for my family.

Don't expect to find anything you need here, limited clothing, electronics, virtually no childrens stuff. I understand Newport is basically a short stop destination but many families still pass through this area. Always disappointed every time I go.

Always a nice place to shop to pick up convenience items, and even speciality items like shoes and electronics. They are still remodeling it all. Already looks nicer!

It has good priced, very good quality items but of limited quantity. Very good for essentials, very good for electronics. Better deals can be found on clothes. Sales people are nice but hard to find.

Not a bad exchange... pretty much everything you need is here. You have to go the second floor for household items and I do not believe they sell any furniture there.

Stopped by the NEX barber shop for a haircut, then the main exchange to look around. Bought a nice hoodie at a good price. They have moved things around to complete renovations, but it is still navigational.

Good place to shop, but during renovations the layout keeps changing. It will be a very nice store when they finally finish

This location, as far as NEX's go, is average. It's not big, nor small, but you can find majority of the essential needs without issue. Don't forget to check out the second floor for their home goods section.

This place has a little bit of everything. Has a subway as well, along with a coffee shop. Has a barber inside. They are expanding so there will be some construction going on.

I visit as often as I can. Construction underway presently. Hopefully an expansion, a little cramped. Great staff good atmosphere and clean store.

Typical Exchange. Has what you would expect. Government owned and operated therefore little incentive for customer service. There a large Marine Corps presence on base but very little to no Marine Corps items to purchase.

They've been under renovation for a while and they're finally starting to look really nice lots of new spaces and new places in this facility it's really nice.

Always the best prices. I make sure I always buy my beer at The exchange that way I don't have to pay a MASS deposit.

The Newport NEX services all of the Newport area and bases, but it is on the smaller side. You'll probably find most of what you're looking for, but just be prepared for them to be out of your size or only a few choices available.

Wish we had more time to truly enjoy this store. Reminds me a store in my hometown that recently closed it's doors. Herbergers.
