    I got a haircut last weekend and I debated a lot whether to write this review or not, I usually don't. I had an appointment with Kendall and she was cool, I actually liked her and my hair looks good and all but she cut me a lot with the razor. Now what I cannot understand is if she saw this how did she charge me in full ($37) PLUS A TIP. She didn't show me the back of my head so I didn't know how bad it was until I got home and my husband was like WTF HAPPENED TO YOU? By that point my shirt was all bloody. I don't know man... I couldn't charge a client if I know I had done this. Guess the rest of the barbers are good since most of the reviews are positive.

    December session- just right for the holidays! This blowout was my fave!!

    Well, I didn't think that spending time getting my hair done was going to be my idea of a good time, but I have found the one!! Britt has done such an amazing job on my hair! I only trust her with my color since she was the first one to dye it ever. She always listens to my needs and executes flawlessly! I've never left disappointed! The shop has a cool and relaxed vibe that allows you to enjoy your time there. If you need color, cut or style, trust me, Britt is your girl!

    If there were more than 5 starts available to give, I'd give 100+! My hair always looks amazing... every.single.time! There is no other person who has put a bigger smile on my face than Brittany! She does it all and it always comes out looking like a thousand bucks! Toners, highlights, balayage, hair cuts... you name it and I've loved it! Barkers Barbershop is also neat. Can't wait to take my boyfriend here for his haircut next time!

    Thanks Frank!

    THANK YOU FRANK! My husband has a beautiful head full of curls which he typically allows no one but his sister who lives 1,000 miles away from us to cut. So, he gets a haircut far less often than he needs, and I threaten to shave the ever-growing 'fro in his sleep. I get it, not everyone knows how to properly tame the 'do, but we're not seeing family 'til May, and I gotta put my foot down on another 3 months of growth, so I scoured Yelp for someone who knows what they're doing and found Barker's right in my neighborhood with great reviews. Wednesday walk-ins only are perfect for his hospital work schedule that makes it impossible to really make appointments anywhere. Big ol' sigh of relief when I saw that fresh cut - I staked my Yelp-Eliteness and Wifey Cred on that recommendation, so I'm glad it worked out. My husband said he was in and out within an hour, and that Frank did a great job with the fade. He agrees with me now that it's easier to handle and was getting kind of out of control (of course it was!). We're both happy with the results and would send other gentlemen here as well.

    AO da barber is amazing. So lucky for me I came there. I will be back. No appointment but no problemread more

    We were looking for an out of town barber for a special event, which can be daunting if you're…read morerelying solely on reviews. Kenny Mac's had good reviews and a lot of good pictures so we decided to take a chance on them. Upon arrival, the place was super spacious and clean and the team was really welcoming. There was also convenient street parking and a nice area to sit while you waited for your haircut. Onto the haircut! We had the honor of having Kenny Mac himself cut my fiancés hair. He was super kind and easy to chat with during the haircut. We gave him an inspiration picture and he followed that perfectly, like it was incredibly spot on. He was super thoughtful too, asking questions and going back and forth to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. And the outcome was impressive. I think he will do exactly what you ask him to, so if you're not happy that could be on the customer lol. He recreated the picture we sent him perfectly. The fade was fresh and sharp, and the vibes were good. It was also a good sign that there was a decent customer flow. I was also waiting around and noticed that a lot of other customers had really nice haircuts too so you can tell they really take their time to produce high quality haircuts for everyone, no matter which team member it is. We feel a lot better knowing that we have someone in the city that can do a good job and we are glad that we took a chance on the right person. He also offers mobile services throughout the city so that is really helpful. I really wish we took a fresh picture of the haircut, because now it is grown out, but I think the other pictures you see online reflect the service you receive. Also the prices were really reasonable. I'd definitely try this place out if you're looking for a high quality barber!

    This review has been a long time coming…read more Let me just say that when you move from one state into another every year, it is very difficult to find a barber/stylist that you can trust and it is equally difficult to let go of them when you know your time is up. Finding this place when I first moved into Chicago was God-send. If you're like me, a very particular person about your hair, you can imagine the anxiety having to first read multiple reviews on many places just to make sure you are even comfortable going to a place to begin with - and that's only half the battle. The other half is choosing someone when you book an appointment. You cannot go wrong with Van Buren! My first time going there was a little intimidating- for a good reason. I'm a pretty simple guy, not used to having a complementary beer/whiskey/coffee or any other beverage while I wait for my haircut or having a shoe shine before a haircut. But, having said that, this place will make sure you do get used to it! On my first appointment, I was welcomed by a very cheerful and friendly front desk. Arriving about 15 minutes early was good to help me settle in to relax and have a drink. The space was clean and they had really comfortable chairs to sit on while I waited. I was lucky to have Ania randomly chosen as my hairstylist on my first appointment. She took about 5-10 minutes before we started to get to know me, ask my preferences and gave good suggestions. During the cut, she would often show me the results and ask if I was okay with the length etc. She's a very talented and receptive stylist! After the first cut, I was super happy and impressed, and suddenly the anxiety of finding a stylist was gone. I decided to sign with the 1 year membership that day and it was the best decision by far considering the amount of times I go for a cut and for the ease of setting up appointments. Every visit was consistent with quality in a haircut, and additionally when I wanted to change things up with a style, she was able to do it. You will find that as a regular customer, you will not only have a hairstylist, but a good friend in the end - someone who you can be comfortable talking to during the cut about anything in life and an honest person who really has makes sure you look the very best everytime you go in for a cut. Making an appointment and changing appointments are for the most part very flexible. Another point to make is that I have a busy work schedule, and I have always started on time and either ended early or on the dot! On a couple occasions, Ania was not available due to vacations, but that was fine, since someone else amongst the talented group of stylists can cut your hair too. I had wonderful experiences with other stylists when she was gone. But, if you're like me, you stay loyal to your hairstylist when he/she is back! As a longstanding customer, everyone knows you, even the owner Nora, who really does her best to take care of you whenever she is around to help the front desk. Customer service is above and beyond and you end up feeling like part of their family in the end. I went for about 1.5 years, and unfortunately I no longer go since I've relocated to a new state. This place made a huge impression on me and I often find myself trying to find something similar in NYC/Manhattan, but Van Buren Gentlemen's Salon definitely takes the cake out of all places I've lived in (native Californian, lived in Los Angelos, San Francisco, Sacramento, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, NYC/Brooklyn, Washington D.C. and other large urban cities). If ever in town, I know where I'll be going to if I need a good haircut. Try the place out, see if you would like to stick with a membership! I have a feeling you will. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! 5 STARS!

    Unfortunately I can not recommend this business. I committed to a quarterly member at $350, so…read more$1400 a year plus tips for a weekly beard trimmer and hair cut. The stylist was fantastic. However the customer service was sorely lacking. A membership is a different model and certainly a person's hair grows at differing rates. So when my stylist said let's not cut your hair today that was fine. A few weeks later I recieved a text message stating my appointment for that day was changed. This has happened before so I presumed something happened. Typically they reach out but I can't imagine a system errant sending a text for no reason. After I was called for being late to the original appointment time I was confused and spoke with Cassie from the front desk. She was dismissive and disrespectful when I merely tried explaining facts. When confronted her response was she was only being disrespectful because she felt I was being disrespectful to her. A wild thing to say considering the money I was committed to spending and I neither raised my voice, swore etc. After canceling due to her unprofessional attitude she then tried charging for services that were never rendered from the appointments mentioned above. This all could have been easily fixed by her remaining calm, allowing me to send the text, and we chalk it up to a system error. I could have rescheduled the appointment and they'd still have a client. To then even charge for an appointment missed resulting from their system error is disgusting. Thankfully I sent the proof to my band and we resolved it that way. Clearly Cassie has some maturation required for being in customer service. I've overheard her several times at the salon saying she doesn't care about things. And people should know how little they value a membership. Apparently they make less money on members per the stylist so I'm not sure why bother? Anyway go somewhere else where you'll be valued and respected as a client.​​
