I did not enjoy the service I received or the quality of the service. I think the vibe is great, but the barber that I went to had a horrible demeanor and attitude, and I think it was because of me paying in the app instead of in person, the app should not be an option if there's going to be an attitude behind it read more

Great barbershop to have a good and clean haircut. the barbers and nice and friendly and would cut your hair the way you desire leaving you satisfied with your hair cut. read more

Terrible service. Didn't even try to cut evenly. Easily the weakest haircut I've ever gotten.

Homophobic af which is normal for black barbers but the haircut was trash which made their attitudes not even worth it.

I adore going to Hyde Park Barber Studio! It's clean, such a positive atmosphere. I love how they cater to the young and extend great parenting skills to them while cutting their hair. It's safe and and I see most parents just drop their children and come back to receive them. Each Barber is highly skilled and qualified to give you great haircuts and the beard trims are epic, they are attentative to to all their clients. The women clients are just as happy with these Barbers, so I highly recommend this Barber Shop. Ivan Hairston is my favorite, he's great and talented and very professional and he aims to please every visit, thank you Ivan you're awesome. read more

Adewale is , ask for him directly. I'm sure the other barbers there are great too, would recommend even for walk ins

I suffered a spinal cord injury in 2015 and The Hyde Park Barber Studio was the first place I went when I got back from all The hospitals & rehab facilities . Even though I was in a wheelchair they treated me as if the accident never happened. For the first time I felt normal and back to life again. Thank you Ivan and The Hyde Park Barber studio for always treating me with respect and kindness. With that being said The Hyde Park Barber studio team/staff and Ivan will accommodate customers who may struggle with physical limitations as much as they possibly can within they're power to help customers that need A little extra assistance. While I was bouncing between the Northwestern hospital & R.I.C Rehab facility, and my barber Ivan (illustrious cuts), provided A great service by coming to The downtown and cut my hair with my big neck brace on! He momentarily leaves the barber studio to help me stay fresh and clean, and then go back and finish his work day ... that's was incredible work ethic, customer service, and professionalism at its best! The results of his hospital haircuts results were better than what I expected! I must say it takes a lot of skill to do that . and I cannot say how much I appreciate that service when I was going through a type of disservice in my own life. The Hyde Park Barber studio and Ivan create an experience * not only a haircut. The Hyde Park Barber studio's entire team create VERY SAFE , WELCOMING TO ALL , Professional, And my personal favorite , an entertaining environment to experience a haircut from one of the greatest to ever pick up clippers IVAN . sorry, yes I'm a little biased that's my barber He constantly works on his craft , & is committed To educating himself more about the craft of grooming all types of hairstyles , Color, original and artistic designs etc. you name it. His skills are already sharp but he knows he always can get more education and sharpen up his skills . I respect that very much of any person that works. Thank you to Ivan/ Illustrious cuts and the Hyde Park barber studio for your professional and high-quality service. But most importantly thank you for making me feel comfortable and at home. -ANDY read more

See all

Whenever I am in the HP, this is where I stop to get a cut. My HP barber Naseem does a great job on my head and I never leave out disappointed. I have been going off and on for two years and there has never been a dull moment. Last night I walked in and they were showing the Blogojevich impeachment coverage and it sparked great conversation as well as debates. Usually when I walk in there is a big debate or discussion in progress. This is one of those shops where they know everyone's name and are always welcoming to newcomers. If you are ever in the area or just happened to move to HP, this is a great place to go. Also, this is the first barber shop that I have seen accept debit/credit cards. Disclaimer: Sorry, this is not the place Obama gets his haircut read more

My barber, Ivan, and all the other barbers in this shop are doing it right. Professional and price conscious. At the same time, just a good feel that you should have at barber shop. I have been here for years and I think this is my best barber experience in the city. Will keep recommending (although it may make it harder to get an appointment). read more

Hyde Park Barber Studio - Barbers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This barber shop is Very unprofessional, loud and has a complete disregard for a persons time. It's hard enough for a woman to take their son to any barber shop to be serviced but these men in here are the worse. You try to call ahead to schedule a good time to come in no one knows the wait time. Children are spoken to harshly and brushed to the side for regulars whenever they walk in. This Yelp review is not from one visit. I have taken my son to this barber shop since he was 2 years old off and on because it is close to my work. I've even reported my concerns to the owner and nothing has changed. Costumers, your money matters and the language your child is exposed to matters as well! read more

Very rude, disrespectful barber. I walked in and asked a heavy set guy with dreads if he knew if anybody had any chairs opening up soon, to which he responded: "Who is 'everybody'? I don't know about everybody, I just know about myself. So are you asking about me?" His response and tone was rude, nasty and truly unnecessary. This barbershop came highly recommended by numerous people so I was very disappointed when I was greeted with such a low level of customer service. I hope this is not the standard for how walk ins are treated because, if it is, this shop should prepare to lose loads of potential clients. They certainly lost me as one. read more

It is always difficult to trust a new place to get a haircut. When I moved to Chicago, I tried a few different places but nothing good. Then I came here. I was not only astonished by the friendly conversation but also extremely impressed with the detail of my haircut. read more

Great experience at this shop. Professional Barber . It's recommended by appointment only. I had the bald head hydrotherapy which was awesome, think massage, clean close cut with a process to keep head from bumping up. See Nassem great guy. Great experience. read more

There are a lot of different places where I could get my haircut in hyde park. I could do it in Reynold's Club, or 57th street salon, or University Barbershop, and the list goes on. There are 2 reasons I go with Hyde Park Barber studio. 1) its the closest barber shop next to my apartment. Location is key, and I'm lazy 2) unlike other places I've been in hyde park, there are always 4 or 5 guys there to cut your hair, so your wait is never very long. This is a barbershop, so their main focus is on the men, but every now and then I see a female stylist in there doing a lady's hair, so they also cater to the females. What I love most about this place is that its classy: from the cool mirrors, to the hanging afro-inspired artwork, to the multiple flat-screen tv's playing ESPN, Hyde Park Barber Studio is head and shoulders (pun intended) above the rest in Hyde Park. My only issue with this place (and every other place in Chicago) is how expensive it is to get your haircut! Its not difficult to buzz-cut my hair, and I'm used to paying 5 dollars for that back home (if possible I wait for when I go back to Tx to get it cut), but if I'm going to be paying $19 for a 5 minute buzz around my hair, then Hyde Park Barber Studio is where I want to be paying it at. read more

Worse hair cut I have ever gotten.. I gave very specific directions numerous times and he did not listen. Once he asked me what did I think of the cut so far, I then instructed the barber a third time what I wanted and still left unsatisfied. Ended up paying $33 dollars for a lining and taper. read more

Classic barbershop- very professional, nice decor and great atmosphere- the barbers joked, chatted and made you feel at home. ESPN on the two television screen- a great place to go for a man like me who is tired of all of the girly salons. ALSO- UofC students and faculty get a significant discount! Takes it from like $20 to $16. Great deal, great service and a good-looking haircut! read more

Terrible! They cut my hair evenly everywhere. I've never had a haircut this bad. I've also never been to a barber before, but im never going back. read more

This is the only place I'll go. It took me 2 years to find a barbershop that felt "right" after moving here from NYC. I traveled 40 minutes to go to Hyde Park Barber Studio based on a recommendation from a friend. Worth every minute. The service is attentive. The barbers are friendly. The decor is very nice and the cut was spectacular! I now live 90 minutes away and would rather go without a haircut than have anyone other than Daryl cut my hair! Love you cats! See you soon! read more

Walked in for a quick bit of neckline cleanup and was taken care of promptly and professionally. My barber -- M. Abdul-Milik -- was efficient and friendly, and the place felt clean and accommodating. The fade was excellent and the price was right, plus they accept credit cards! Will be back. read more

The reviews don't lie. Mr. Leaks is the man - you can't go wrong with him! I told him the look I was going for and mentioned some of the problems I usually have after haircuts, given the way my hair parts, and he gave me an awesome cut. Very happy with it, and it's been super easy to maintain. Also just a really nice guy. Highly recommended. read more

AC cuts my Mohawk & 360. The ambiance & customer service is unmatched! If you haven't been here for a cut-schedule an appt today!

Never been there but I called to ask a question about cutting my 1year old's hair. The guy was SUPER nice & gave me his honest opinion. He told me what he did with his son hair at 1years old & gave me his opinion as a barber & a father. read more

This is an excellent choice for your barber shop. There is a fantastic atmosphere and the barbers know what they're doing. Mr. Leaks takes his time with you and genuinely enjoys his craft. I'm rather picky with my haircuts but they have not let me down. read more

This HP gem is professional, welcoming and attentive to their clients. The barbers are long standing top notch pros, any of them could do live "stand-up" comedy to keep things lively. I've tried other shops and know this is the place to go. read more

Mr. Leaks gave me a great haircut. I took a few pictures the day he cut my hair and I can't stop getting attention from it! atmosphere was great and Mr. Leaks is a down to earth cool guy that makes you forget you are getting a haircut while he is at his craft that he has mastered! read more

I received services from Mr.Leaks, and it was terrible. He truly messed up my haircut in ways I could never imagine. He pushed my lining too far back, cut my entire beard off, and was very rude in the beginning of the services when I asked him several questions. Mr. Leaks does not know how to cut hair. Please stay away from him; trust me you will totally be dissatisfied. My haircut is so bad that I am ashamed to post the pictures of my haircut to yelp. read more

If you haven't been to this shop, then you're missing out on a great experience simple as that! Great barbers, Great Conversation, Great Environment for men, women and children. read more

Pretty decent experience here. Mr Lee was my barber and gave me a really good cut. Only issue I had was price. I was expecting to pay $30 tops, plus a tip but it was $35 without tip. With that being said I loved the cut. I will recommend to other that don't mind paying the price.I on the other hand can't say i will be coming here on the regular. read more

Visiting from out of town and needed the works. Very friendly place with a down home feel. Abdul-Malik did a great job turning this ugly noggin into something to look at. read more

Only because I can't give zero stars. Decided to cut my fiance's hair to look like Moe from the Three Stooges when he asked them to clean up his hair. So, basically, either they are incompetent or they purposefully charge $50 for terrible hair cuts. read more

I just got a terrible haircut here. I told the guy to cut half of it. He literally cut more than %95 of it. And he argued with me at the end that it my hair was not that long at the beginning. Just waste of time and money. Look somewhere else or stay away from the fat dumb guy there. read more

I live in the Chatham area but I will make the trip to Hyde Park for quality service and professionalism provided at HPBS. The shop is clean and there's no patrons hanging around the shop. And it's a very clean surrounding area. read more
