Karl is the real deal. I came to International Hair Design due to it's convenient location over 5 years ago with high expectations and have been a loyalist ever since. Karl is a professional barber that is focused on his client's wants AND has exceptional recall from past cuts. This has manifested in a common language that allows me to explain what I am looking for and he brings it to reality with top precision with every visit. He is also a kind person who is passionate about his family and profession. Karl is a friend and a trusted partner in keeping my look on point.

My family has been going to International Hair for over 10 years, when I moved out of Barrington into Chicago, I will still make the hour plus trip all the way out to the suburbs because I know no one can do as good of a job as Karl. I’ve been to many barbers and Karl will always take his time to make sure everything is perfect and just how I want it. At this point I consider him family and would recommend him to anyone in the area that is looking for a barber. You also can’t find a better price for the service you get here.

What can I say about Karl that hasn't already been said? He gives the best and most consistent haircuts I've ever received, scissorhands down (sorry, couldn't resist... ?). He's also genuinely interesting, pleasant, and intelligent, which matters more than you might think, especially if you're tired of rolling the dice at chain salons like Sportscuts.
