Been getting my haircut for 5 years here. Crystal is a terrific stylist and wonderful lady. Highly recommend!

Good first experience! Easy to book an appointment!! If you are in a pinch, this is a better option than Sports Clips in the very same strip malls in Elgin. Elijah was our barber, he was very friendly and welcoming. He talked the whole time, getting to know my son, but also making him comfortable to say what he liked and wanted different about the haircut. I really appreciated his chair side manner. The haircut is not the most thorough, but it was good for the time spent. A scissor cut was $19, a great, competitive price. Check them out, depending on your cut, this could be the best haircut for the price in Elgin. read more

American Man Barbershop - Prices as of 2/2024 - Barbers Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

Absolutely messed up my hair. I had to have it fixed by a different barber. I hesitated to write this review, but my hair was so messed up. I had to do it. The top of my head is all chopped up and the rest of my head is completely missed cut and stray long hair everywhere you know if it didn't cost so much money maybe I wouldn't write the review but This place isn't cheap and it's not worth going ever again read more

I've recently begun to use this app to give credit where credit is due. As a 25 year old who was looking for a new place to get a simple haircut, I turned to Yelp for reviews. I highly recommend this place. Friendly staff, quick but quality service, nice atmosphere (tv, music, comfortable seating). Unless you're emotionally attached to your current barber, you should start going here. For the common man who wants an honest review on where he should get a haircut, take my review seriously. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been coming here for about 5 years and they are very accommodating to my needs. Always quick and convenient hair cut. They also know specialty hair cuts with fades and hard parts. Great place friendly service. read more

Had two different barbers cut my kids hair. They did an ok Job, the lining was very sloppy, I will definitely not be returning. I rather pay $5 more and get a better cut somewhere else. read more

Wow! Has this place gone down hill. The environment is trashed. There's an inch of dust on the front counter. The display glass has no product nor has the glass been cleaned. There's debris and garbage floating around the floor. The TVs were all off, but caked with dust and cobwebs. They no longer take walk-ins, it's by appointment only. I'm surprised they are in business with the way it looks. Definitely Not a True Barber Shop! read more

I walked in without an appointment and was promptly attended to. The shop's vintage decor, with its classic leather chairs and photos of random celebrities, transported me to a bygone era of meticulous grooming. The haircut was quick, the service excellent, and the price reasonable. They've got the magic touch--you'll leave looking sharp! read more

Wow, what a barber shop. Great services (try the slick nick). Great barbers that know what they're doing. Price? When you consider what you get, it is well worth the money. read more

I get my cut done by Crystal. She's fantastic!!!! Does a great job and great conversation.

Crystal does a fantastic job. she is very professional.I been going there for almost a year to get my haircut and the staff has always been welcoming when walking in. i would highly recommend anyone to there. when you walk the the facility is clean and organize. read more

I was the shop's first haircut of the day, so they were not busy. The young man who cut my hair was friendly and very talkative, but he needed to focus more on the haircut. I hate to say, but this was the worst haircut I've ever received. Any haircut that only takes fifteen minutes is half-assed. Legit, appointment was at 10 and was back in my car at 10:16. For $30, take at least 30 minutes and pay more attention to detail. read more

I came in by chance after another barber double-booked and these guys were able to get me in, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. My barber was Alexis and she did an excellent job with my hair and beard. Everything was even and lined up perfectly, she offered lots of options and her opinion on what would look best and she was absolutely spot on. With these guys being right between my work and my home and with the price being excellent for the service I'll definitely be a regular here. read more

I expected what the web site said. I expected a real barber experience. Straight edge on my neck. N0 vintage massager as stated. After the cut the girl haltingly offered a shampoo. I hated to take up more of her time. There was no one else in the shop. The shop lacked testosterone. Seemed in disrepair. Mike the owner is real friendly. Good/average haircut. Confusing signage with pricing. Overall Kinda disappointing. I really had my hopes up. read more

From the past reviews, I was a little disappointed. Granted, they were open Sunday which gives them a few extra points. It wasn't busy or backed up.Seemed that the place functioned primarily by appointments but had a novice barber standing bye for walk-ins which took me immediately. Asked for a standard benchmark "executive cut" with burns and tapered but she was unable to do a neck shave and lost my side burns. In the end it was ok but again was a little disappointed given all the review hype read more

I tell you man... from the minute I walked in the door for the first time, until the minute I left... customer service was off-the-charts! If you're looking for a place to get your hair, neck and face done right, have great conversation and leave knowing that this is going to be your only option moving forward, this is it. Quit looking at other reviews and book an appointment. ...and for Eric's comment below, I highly doubt any of us care to be quite honest. They're all talented as hell and Eric, you just seem full of yourself. Thanks for a great experience! read more

Friendly Staff, great environment! Rosy was awesome and certainly provided exceptional service. Highly recommend this place...

I tried this barbershop about a year ago and have gone there every time since. Mike is a great guy and very friendly. Sam cut my hair first and she did a great job. I have had others cut my hair sometimes and the entire crew is very consistent. They always get me in when I call. They are well trained and it shows. Scott C read more

I've been a few times to the shop and I've never had an issue with the service. I'm going bald so I typically go in to get a beard trim and some times a head shave. I have had different barbers each time and each lady has done a great job. Very nice and pleasant. Mikes a great guy and makes you feel at home. Would definitely recommend for someone looking to get away from the typical chain barber shops. read more

Great place to go to get your beard trimmed, shaped, cleaned up or just looking neat. All of the staff are pleasant and professional. Started going there once the pandemic lockdown was lessened and despite looking like a Yeti all of the stylist make me look human. Spa day is a real treat if you need a complete overhaul. I wholeheartedly recommend AMB. read more

First time here, and I'm impressed. I've been looking for a place like this for a long time. A real modern barber shop. Comfortable, friendly courteous service, great cut. Reasonable price. A far better experience than any of the chain haircut places. read more

Staff is very friendly and on a first name basis with most customers. I used to go to sportclips for my haircuts, but they're too gimmicky and expensive for the quality you receive. AMB is the same price, if not cheaper, and the experience and quality is much nicer. read more

Alexis was awesome. Best haircut I've had in a while (usually go to Floyd's... Not anymore). Great price. Owner is super personable. Highly recommend. read more

My sister boyfriend told me about the place. Went there and got Alexis as my barber she made a great job! Very happy with my haircut in less that 8 minutes she was done. Price was also the best part 20.00 read more

Love this place. My first time there today. The place and staff is very welcoming and friendly! Had great conversation with my barber, I wish I remembered her name so I can ask for her when I go back. Only thing and it's not a huge deal, but some more practice could be used for the shaving portion. No complaints here and would recommend them in a heartbeat! read more

Samantha did an excellent job with my haircut, best haircut I have ever had in IL.

BAD EXPERIENCE I called in to see how busy they were just after 9am. The guy who answered told me they have plenty of time but that it's best to make an appointment. He suggested 9:45am and I told him it's better if we do it around 10am. I showed up just before 9:45 and waited until 10:20 to be seated. I told the barber that I got a haircut last week and that I just need a trim; I'm starting a new job tomorrow. Then it only took the "barber" 10 min to complete everything. I went in asking for a simple trim. I usually do a 3 to a 2 on the sides and she did a 2 all the way up. I asked her to take just the tips off the top and she ended up taking at least half an inch off. I then had to ask for her to take a razor around my ears and neck (one of the main reasons why I come to a barber). After I got home, I had to finish cutting some hair around my ears. Honestly this was worst then a Great Clips experience. read more

Great barbershop. It has a very cool vibe. The barbers are awesome and you get a great haircut every time. Haircut, shampoo, hot towel, shoulder massage, you get the works. They're also great with kids. After finding this place I won't go anywhere else. read more

My man loves this place. The Barbers make him feel comfortable and like he's one of them. The haircut is great too, but I swear he goes just for the funny banter. read more

Service is great, friendly atmosphere. Great Haircut. What more could you ask for!!

Worth every penny. It's hard to come by a barber and leave completely satisfied with the work, but this place does it! Been searching and searching for "My" barbershop for quite a while and I have found it here. read more

Great staff. Always helpful and leave with a great haircut . Been to a lot of barber shops in the area and they definitely make me feel welcome and do a great job cutting hair read more

Great service and a great haircut. This was my first time here and I was enthusiastically greeted by name (I had an appointment) as soon as I walked in the door and shown to the station. Jen was very friendly and gave me a great clipper haircut. I'll definitely be going back. read more

I ended up paying $28 plus tip which brought it out to $35. I give them credit that they managed to fit me in right before close but it was a poor experience. In total the haircut took about 15 minutes because of a rush job. The gentleman that cut my hair barely spoke a word to me and instead talked to his coworker in an inappropriate manner in regard to poor tips which left implied feeling to me to tip heavy. The haircut was average, nothing special but overall overpriced for the service. read more

Took my 12-year-old son who hates to get his hair cut. The barber was great, did a really nice cut AND managed to get the sullen kid to start talking. read more

What an awesome place! Started coming here a few months ago when we found this place. I'm hooked! My barber Eric does a phenomenal job. Not only did he help me decide on a new style for my hair but he took the time to show me how to style it so I can make it look just as good at home as he does in the shop. Besides that it's near impossible to find a good straight razor shave these days. Eric does those too! In fact I've had such an amazing experience that recently when planning activities for my cousins bachelor party we started the day off with shaves and haircuts at American Male! They were happy to set up time to handle our large group. Not only that but they set up snacks and drinks and we even got souvenir American Male beer mugs! It was a fantastic day! Thank You to Eric and the entire staff at American Male Barbershop for going above and beyond to create a memorable experience for our group. We will all be back and sending all of our friends too! Anyone looking for a great barbershop with a friendly feel should look no further!!! read more

Friendly staff and they do a very good job. They're somewhat pricey though. Overall, it was a good experience.
