I've been looking for a regular barber to help me keep my face and head in reasonably well groomed condition. It's an old school barber shop and I expected an old school barber. Since I didn't know anybody I took the first available spot, with Keslie. She's neither old, nor old school. I got a great cut, hot lather/straight razor trim and some amusing conversation. 15 bucks.

Not only was it the worst cut ever by the man cutting in the window chair to the right upon entering, he is rude and unpleasant.His demeanor frightened my son. He needs to retire NOW. Fast forward to last week, my 24 year old went in to find out our go to girl left the shop. Good for her. My son had the misfortune of getting the nasty man. The hair cut is more like a hair butcher. It is thee worst attempt at cutting hair. It looks like a blind man did it. Needless to say it needs to be fixed by someone competent.

I've been going to Fabio directly since I moved to Glen Ellyn in 2019, and he's always been more than accommodating and is just a really great guy. He will offer you ideas, suggestions and listens well to any requests you might have with an end result that will leave you positively speechless. If you're tired in the morning, he won't talk your ear off, but if you want to have a good conversation where one will actually reciprocate, he's going to be there like a neighbor that you've known for years. His new location is conveniently located in a strip mall right across the train tracks with ample parking, the decor/atmosphere inside has the cool hip but yet rustic 'grunge' that I feel like many guys can appreciate. Call to schedule an appointment the week of, to my knowledge he doesn't go beyond the 'week of' mark due to him being booked up fairly quickly. Despite his shop now moving further from me, I've been consistently loyal to him as he never disappoints. I'm truly happy for him and his team here, and if you want to experience a first-class experience such as I have for the past 4+ years, go to Fab, it'll be one of the best decisions you've made in a while. Thanks Fab, wishing you continued success. See you shortly.

It was so terrible that I reached out to a friend who's hair is always immaculate and he pointed me to Oak & Steel. They did not disappoint.

Carlos covered all the uneven lines, mismatched sideburns, large chunks of uncut hair and left me with exactly what I wished I had the first time. 10/10. Also, they have a bar upstairs. Here is my before and after:

I called at 5:30 on Thursday evening, hoping to make a Friday appointment for my son, who has awesome, puffy, Colin Kaepernick afro-type hair going on, and I wanted to get it shaped and trimmed a little to make it look a little less wild. I was hoping, especially based on all the positive reviews, that Diverse Kuts would be the place to help me tame my little man's crazy mixed-race hair while still keeping it "puffy" the way my 4-year-old likes it. The phone rang quite a while, and I wondered if everyone had gone home, when finally someone picked up. It took me two times to try and explain that I was wanting to make an appointment for a haircut for Friday. The first time, the guy asked "What do you want?" and when he understood and asked what time, I said "How is 11:30?" His response (despite Yelp saying Diverse Kutz opens at 11am) was that "Oh, we're not open then. We don't get in until about 1:30." I suggested 2pm, then, and he asked what I was hoping to have done. I explained, and suddenly he says "Ok, hold on." He leaves and a woman gets on and says "Hello" like I'm interrupting her day. I ended up saying "You know what, never mind" and hanging up. I felt awkward before we even set foot in the place. I won't be calling back, and I'll start up my search again for a place to help me make my son's wonderful hair a little less Kap and a little more summer-ready. I'm disappointed.

Renee has always been incredible, but the experience at Marek Ashley is on an entirely different level. The space is beautiful, elevated, and luxurious, making every appointment feel like a true escape. Renee is fabulous -- knowledgeable, calming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about skincare. She customizes every facial to exactly what your skin needs while creating such a relaxing and personalized experience. Combined with the elevated atmosphere at Marek Ashley, it feels more like a luxury spa retreat than just a facial appointment. If you loved Renee before, you'll love her even more here. Highly recommend.

The facial was probably the best one that I've ever had. The room is charming, calming, and cool. Well appointed for my needs, even a cute shell jewelry box to store my rings during my facial. The products for the facial smelled great and did a great job of gently cleaning and plumping my skin. The best part was Renee's massage and ability to work my skin in a way that made me look younger and fresher when we were done. At the end of my hour, I felt really relaxed, pampered and rejuvenated. I can't wait for my next appointment with Renee and a Marek Ashley facial.

From the moment I sat down, it was clear that Renee takes real pride in her craft. The consultation was thoughtful, the cut was precise, and every part of the service felt intentional rather than rushed. What really stood out was the full-service experience. Attention to detail, a relaxing atmosphere, and a genuine sense of professionalism throughout. It was one of those appointments where you walk out feeling noticeably better than when you walked in. If you're looking for a barber who combines technical skill with a high level of care and consistency, I'd highly recommend booking with Renee.
