However, my 15 year son had an awful experience. He said they ruined his hair. He asked for a hard part... He didn't get one. Looked like they put a bowl across in his head and cut around it. And the fade was mediocre at best.

Honestly can't believe they all let people roll out like that charging $35 and not even take card. I had to walk down the street to get a bill broken since this establishment that only takes cash, had no cash. I feel like I've got road rash all the way around my head from the clipper and razor. I created a yelp account JUST NOW FOR THIS REASON. I was honestly so mad I had to tip the man just knowing my girlfriend was gonna laugh her ass off. Save the 35 and stick your head in the lawn mower.

So I moved out to Bolingbrook from San Diego, CA and I am very picky about my haircut. I am the…read moretypical guy who has a hard part on the left side and get a zero low fade and have the barber blend the sides and take about at 1/4 in off the top to be able to style. At first, I was skeptical about the location due to having trouble getting in touch with anyone at the shop. First time I called was Sunday 07/01 around 12 noon, as they opened at about 11am and no one answered all day. I called back Monday around 6pm and a little kid answered. I tried setting up an appointment, but was instructed to use some app which the kid had no idea on how to guide me to do so. He called on someone else to assist me. I asked to have an appointment set up and he followed by taking my information down and stating someone would call me back. No one ever did. I kinda had given up but was in need of a haircut so I just walked in a few days later. Upon walking in, other barbers were tending to other customers. Shop was very clean and I noticed there was a pool table, in case of wait times. Or I'm guessing, if it was slow for the barbers. Either way, I find it to be a plus. Victor approached me and let me know he would be the one who could cut my hair. I had showed him pictures from my last haircut and he said it could be done. Victor took his time and was very friendly. After finishing the cut, he proceeded by showing me the final result thru various angles on the mirror. I was very pleased. Definitely feel like I got my money's worth. Will be going back. If it wasn't for the initial phone experience, I would have easily given them 5 stars.

Since I moved to Naperville I've been looking for a barber who can cut my hair. I asked on…read moreFacebook, Nextdoor, friends, complete strangers...etc. if they knew of a good Black barbershop. Or just a barbershop that can cut Black hair. I always get a bunch of recommendations for overpriced barbers who take FOREVER to get a fade and it's mediocre at best. In their defense, my hair isn't 100% Black, so many Black barbers can't get a tight fade and non-Black barbers don't know what to do. Until I found Excel. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was different because they designed the barber shop to be very inviting and relaxing. Very modern setup with phone charging stations, flat screens and great music playing. Most importantly, my haircut. I had Xavier who was super friendly and is the owner. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and explained the issues I've had with other barbers and he got to work. The cut was PERFECT. It didn't take too long, he didn't talk too much, everything was perfect. I've been there a couple of times and I know the other barbers there are also great. So glad I found this place!

I asked to keep the top long with a fade (2 and 1), trim the sideburns, and square off the back from the natural line. Jose listened carefully and confirmed everything before he started cutting, which I really appreciated. The neck shave was a nice touch, and the conversation was easy and enjoyable throughout. I left feeling fresh and confident. Highly recommend Jose--I'll definitely be coming back
