Best Barber Shops In Chicago

“Wallace was awesome, very friendly and gave me a really good haircut, I will 100% be going back“

“Came here for the first time based on the reviews and Joel did not disappoint. He was very chill and down to earth and made the whole experience relaxing. He listens to how you want your hair done and takes his time to make sure you’re satisfied with how you look. I’m Filipino with hair that sticks out pretty easily and I’ve had barbers struggle cutting my hair how I’d like it in the past. I showed Joel a picture of what I wanted my hair to generally look like and he actually made it look better than the picture I showed him. I don’t usually spend more than $40 on a haircut but this was definitely worth it and I’ll be coming back forsure.“

“Good place to relax while cutting your hair everything is clean good customer service My barber Yeison“

“I've been going here for years and Sammy is extremely skilled and provides a great cut. He's extremely friendly and always look forward seeing him. I would highly recommend!“

“Please don't come here. I need to make sure they're not constantly booked out ? The place is outstanding and so are the barbers. This is definitely my new spot“

“Specialities: Quick gets the job done and makes it look as fresh as the first time u went there!!!“

“Moved back to the city. First shop in area out of 4 that's the best thanks for the fresh cuts.“

“What a great place!!! We took our Dad in for a haircut and they were great with him. We will come back again!“

“Great old school barber. Bob gives great haircuts. If you like to get cut by a real barber, this is the guy. He is very easy to talk to. He makes you feel at home. His prices are very reasonable“

“Chicago Male Salon is an absolute staple of the North Halsted community. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed into a beautifully clean and stylishly decorated space that feels both modern and comfortable. The attention to detail in the décor reflects the same level of care they put into every service they provide. The salon is always spotless, and the atmosphere is inviting, making each visit something to look forward to. Erica, my go-to master barber, is nothing short of amazing. Her skill and precision with every cut are unmatched, but what really sets her apart is her genuine care for her clients. She takes the time to understand exactly what you want and delivers perfection every time. Not only is she an expert at her craft, but she's also an incredible person--always warm, personable, and ready to make your day a little brighter. Dan at the front desk is equally fantastic. His friendly and efficient demeanor ensures that everything runs smoothly from the moment you book your appointment to when you walk out the door. He's the glue that keeps everything running seamlessly and adds to the overall top-notch experience. Chicago Male Salon isn't just a place to get a haircut--it's a true community space, where every visit feels special. Highly recommend!“

“Went to a few barbers before Netzel and he's my guy now. Great cut and knows what he's talking about!“

“I’ve been getting my haircut consistently from Erick now. He’s very attentive in collaborating with you to get your desired cut. The key word is collaborating, which is very refreshing to get from my barber. Not only that, he’s a great conversationalist and I always feel relaxed and confident after leaving the appointment. Talented guy!“

“First time going here after going to another barber for 10 years. Safe to say, I’ve found my new barber. Adrian is top notch and exceeded all expectations. Every detail I asked him to do, he executed it perfectly.“

“Awesome experience each time. The barbers take their time and are extremely skilled. Shout out to Patrick. He’s the man.“

“This shop caught my eye in insta a while back (when I still had it, and boy do I recommend deactivating that $#!+ ). Was visiting Chicago and knew I had to carve out getting a haircut here. Was nervous asking for a flat top, in part because of boldness of the cut, but also because my hair is on the fine side and I was worried it maybe wouldn't work. It's been a bucket list haircut though. Dan assessed my hair before and assured me it would work, and he delivered!!! I was glowing when I left. I feel so studly and badass. Dan was really patient, took his time, and was great about taking the top down a bit shorter when I asked (which is no quick easy task for a flat top). He even texted around for shops recs so I can keep up this look in LA. Just a really nice guy. The shop is also super clean and beautiful. This haircut was the last thing I did before leaving Chicago and was truly the cherry on top of an amazing weekend there. Would absolutely get another cut here next time I'm in town!“

“I have been bringing my 2 sons to Brittny for A DECADE!! From toddlers to teens, she has supported their good looks and witnessed them grow into young men!! They love her and are extremely comfortable going to see her solo, now that they are old enough to make their own appointments and drive!!! We are really grateful for the caring service and for the personable experience that comes with seeing Brittny. Thank you for your BIG HEART, Brittny!! We cherish you!!“

“John is the best! If you want a friendly, reliable barber, he’s your guy. The salon is clean and comfortable, close to public transit, and has an easy to use scheduling system. I moved away from Roger’s Park but still travel to get a haircut from John because I trust him to make me look good ?

Stylist: John is excellent“

“Great barbershop, everyone was welcoming, Danny did an awesome job on my hair and explained the different styles I was looking to get. He was talking me through the process and asked if the clippers feel ok. Great service. I would highly recommend this place. Good vibes“

“Abdul is the man. I have tried many barbers in Chicago and it took me forever to find Abdul but he’s been my barber for 5+ years now. He’s super responsive and able to get you in on short notice. His prices are far more than reasonable and the quality of his work is top notch!“

“Great cuts, great conversation!

Update: My last review was about 3 years ago and I've been going here for almost 8 years now. I go out of my way to go here instead of the shops a short walk from me. I always love talking to Greg and getting a fresh haircut. The guys in the shop are friendly and welcoming. They know what they're doing!“

“Very good atmosphere. Very professional staff (I'm one of the staff). Come check us out.“

“Shout out to Gus @Stan’s Barbershop for always taking care of my son Antonio! Hit him up at (773) 899-8915. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
