Dear staff, thanks for providing an upbeat and vibey experience! Especially thankful for Manuel Villagomez, as he led the entire team with walk-ins, calls, me, etc. I genuinely felt like I had fun getting my hair cut and beard trimmed for the first time in over a decade. Great music!!! Also the cut and style is fantastic. I received a nice and fresh tapered fade and my beard is the best it's ever looked! Thanks for getting creative!!! Additionally, impressed with their demeanor, camaraderie and hospitality, as I was greeted and taken care of like an All Star from the second I walked in until the second I walked out. Can't wait to go back for a beard trim and... read full review

This is actually for the South Elgin location, specifically for Leo. My youngest has gotten 3 cuts from him now and he loves going! My 11yo is autistic and also has a movement disorder, so he often has a hard time sitting for haircuts. Leo has a very calm energy and my kiddo could not be happier when he's in his chair! Plus he does great work. My boyfriend who has never really had a barbershop cut done also goes to him now (cut, fade, and beard cut and lining). The vibe in the shop is great and they are very professional. Highly recommend this location and Leo in particular. Always pleased with their hair!!

Every one in my family has been going to Fade Stars for years (Elgin and now South Elgin) and it is nothing less than outstanding. Juan is especially fantastic. Highly, highly recommend him and this establishment. Every haircut is precisely done with never an issue!
