My husband and son went in for a cut and a line up and came out looking sharpe as ever. These guys don't rush the process and they are very friendly. Also, they are very humble considering the kind of clientele that have patronized them. And my kid had a great chat with Maurice as an experienced elder. What a wonderful experience! read more

Do not come here if you have curly hair. The barber ruined my boyfriend's long curly hair. He asked for armpit length, and came in with his hair curly and styled. The first thing the barber did was comb through his locks.... Red flag! We're heartbroken with the result. See so yourself.. read more

First, I'm so appreciative this shop is open on Sundays. I had a last minute interview for Monday and really needed a cleanup. I was able to get in and out on a Sunday. That's one of the reasons I love this place. The barbers are skilled so you can always get what you're looking for. I'm sensitive with my lining so I always go to Ish to preserve it. I like the vibe , the artwork and everything about the shop. It's a cool place read more

Got a great haircut today from Diane. She was friendly and attentive and trimmed my hair back from the shrubbery it had become. read more

For once I found a good barbershop and a good barber (Tony) and appreciate the convenience and comfortable vibe you get in the shop.

How the worst experience ever! My son had a 12:30 with Ishamel and he tells my son he can't take him and then goes to lunch. Passes my son off to someone else who has him wait 3hours! And, they only accept cash. The worst customer service...rude and unprofessional! In top of all that, the cut was mediocre. Will never be back and I suggest you avoid this place!!! read more

Their website and sign on the door clearly states that they close at 8pm and I walked in at 6:50 and asked if they were appointment only. The two barbers replied No but we're done for the day and only one of them had a client. The service I needed was just a beard lining. Then one said but you can come back at 9am. read more

Where do I began... professional, kind, and strictly about the business I'm new to Hyde Park about a year and I went to a salon across the street from my apartment building and the guy botched up my hair for $95.00 but that's ok however I just left Hyde Park Barber Salon and my girl Lexi hooked me up .... cut, blend, tapered, my hair so good!! Hell I can wear my hair wrapped again in this struggling pandemic were in kudos to Lexi my new Barber read more

I agree with almost every review here. Just moved to Hyde Park and I was looking for a place to be a regular. Walked in, even though they were pretty busy I was able to fit in with Zariff. No complaints, felt welcomed and they delivered on a great hair cut and experience. There are no Asian guys on their yelp portfolio so.. here.. read more

1. When I made the reservation, I asked if the price include hair washing. They said yes. But after getting hair cut, they said I need to pay $5 more for washing hair. That's too expensive. 2. After washing my hair, they don't have a hairdryer. 3. The hairdresser could not make my hairstyle symmetric, even I asked him to modify several times. 4. When I asked the hairdresser to modify my hair, he didn't make me wear the gown tight. So much hair dropped on my clothes, in my collar. 5. When the hairdresser cut my hair, he turned my swivel chair once and once again to cut the different areas of my hair, making me very dizzy. But he didn't move any longer. The most terrible haircut I have ever been all over the world. I really can't understand why so many people give this kind of store a five-star review. I highly doubt the truthfulness of these reviews. read more

Took my son to get a haircut because I've been begging his dad to take him and was met with several excuses. Isn't that how dad's and sons bond..? (I digress) Anyway, I had the day off work (Monday) and it's nearly impossible to find a barbershop that's open on a Monday. The barber was cordial and quick. Got in, got out. I'll definitely bring him back if his dad drags his feet taking him again. read more

Don't go. Unless you're a regular you are not getting a hair cut anytime soon. I went, as a walk in, was told there was one person ahead but then I'd be next. 2 hours and 4 other people later I left without a hair cut. Other people walked in after me, who apparently had been there before, and got service right away. No one acknowledged me at all despite sitting in plain sight. Maybe it's not bad if you are the president or a regular but otherwise they don't care about you or your business. read more

This was a great haircut at a great price with a great atmosphere. They had the game on while I was there, all of the barbers were friendly, and I can't stress enough that the haircut looked good. I'm starting to lose my hair up top and my man did a crazy good job covering that up. 6/5 stars fr. read more

Came in about a month ago. Thinned my hair out wayyyy too much (I have thick wavy hair) and was using clippers on what should have been a scissor cut on the top. The wait was also very long and was quite a pricey haircut. read more

Conveniently located in the heart of Hyde Park...I love HP Salon. How can you hate on a shop that opens its doors on Sundays and Mondays...that's golden! They have relaxed atmosphere and a mature clientele. My choice is Leah B, a professional barber with an keen sense of style. She graciously takes my odd appointment requests with genuine character. Good side conversation when warranted is added bonus, but if she couldn't cut I'd have nothing to say..lol read more

I love this babershop and Trinia is the most precise barber and best loctician I have ever been to. Here's why: while other's may be great at styling and making sure that your locs are tight at the roots, Trinia maintains your entire loc, from root to tip. She is meticulous, she is patient and she is simply great at what she does. The maintenance process is lengthy (be prepared to stay all day) but so worth it. I have since moved from Chicago, but made an appointment with her when I went for a recent business trip and I will continue to do so bc I trust her with my hair. Oh, and her method of loc repair is like MAGIC! Ive never seen anything like it. If you want styling, there are many places you can go in Chicago. But if you want someone to really take care of your locs, this is where you need to go. read more

3 haircuts here over the course of 6 weeks. Great place get a haircut, talented barbers. 2 Star deduction? Quality of service could be better for the $$ ($25) - Get off your phone while cutting my hair - Do you not take CC or not want to pay transaction fee - Any words besides "chin up" would nice Still a decent 4th option, if you need a haircut and just want a transactional experience. Definitely won't be a place that I go willingly. read more

My first time bringing my son to this shop was a very enjoyable experience. The shop was clean, well-kept, and pleasing. Leah, the barber with whom he had his appointment, was on-time, friendly, and very knowledgeable about her craft. She gave me specific instructions and information on how to combat my son's dry scalp issues. She also took great care in cutting his hair and did an excellent job. Leah has been a great barber to my son for years and is the only one he requests when we are in town. I highly recommend Leah as barber of choice! read more

Nice respectful barbershop. Great service, I can't believe I forgot the barbers name who cut my hair (big no-no) but he did an amazing job. Great attention to detail and was so entertaining. You could tell from his interactions with other that he had a big personality and made others feel better. The shop was nice and big, lots of barbers but I still wouldn't chance it and would try to make a reservation if possible. But overall, I was in and out and very happy with my haircut, the location and the price! read more

This place has received A LOT of hype from people, as well as the media, for being Obama's "go-to barbershop" , but other than that, there are quite a few other qualities of the shop that has really stood out to me for years now..... First- the atmosphere: The barbers are ALL professional and respectable to their customers and co-workers. You'll hear quite a few "sports arguments" in the shop that usually leads to laughter and good conversation, mainly with optimistic "Bears fans" who believe that "they're one good free-agent signing away from a Super Bowl", but more importantly- you'll never hear profanity or any type of inappropiate language by ANYONE(clients or employees) in the shop. It's possibly one of the most pleasant places to be in all of Hyde Park. Second- The shop's hours: This is one of the few barbershops in the city(that I know of) that is open 7 days a week. Works out perfect for me because I prefer to get my haircut on Sundays to start the new "work-week" off with a fresh new look. Third- They're all skilled: You can basically go to just about any barber in the shop, with any type of hair style/cut you need done and it'll turn out good. I've seen quite a few satisfied "new walk-in clients" that are now "regulars" at the shop. The barbers are all very professional and mindful of their client's needs and desires. Last(and more than likely the most important quality of all) My "Go-to" Barber: Lets face it- regardless of how nice a place look, how nice the barbers are, and hell- even if the President of the United States chooses to go there when in town, it all boils down to the quality of YOUR haircut. My barber's name is Ishmael- possibly one of the best barbers in the city when it comes to ACCURACY and RESULTS. I've been going to him FAITHFULLY every Sunday morning for years now and I can't tell you how many times Ive been approached/asked: "Excuse me, where did you get your haircut at ?" by random people off the street. I always feel like a whole new person after every "Ishmael cut" and I wouldn't be taking the time to write this long review if it wasn't true..lol. Ish, if you're reading this, thanks for the years of GREAT service and OH!!! By the way...... See you Sunday. Reese read more

I got a haircut here this afternoon. I haven't been to a barber shop in YEARS because I usually just shave all my hair off all strong my head lol. But I decided I wanted a new look and would go for a Mohawk. So I called ahead made an appointment. The atmosphere is very friendly all the barbers seem like they know what they are doing and are friendly to their clients. Done even seem to know they're clients really personally which is great. The guy who cut my hair was Jaffar, here did a great job, he was very careful and precise with my hair and my first Mohawk turned out to excellent! I will definitely come back to him again! read more

Had a great time! I went to cost cutters for the last year and it took about 45 minutes to straighten that mess out! I now have a men's haircut again! read more

Hyde Park - Picture on the wall! - Barbers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love a good cut. Just moved here from NYC. I called up to make an appointment for today's or tomorrow. A barber answers phone. Right away he was in a god complex attitude and condescending and most of all not even trying to list to me. He would maaaybe we could fit you maaaybe not. I wanted to make an appointment and would have taken one the next day. But, the guy was a strait up jerk off. I'll never go there & anyone I meet the is going and let me know I will really push them not to. This place has no respect for this community. Anyone who reads this PLEASE go somewhere else n support a good shop. In the community. Sincerely, DONT GO THERE They get one star because at least some answered the phone... read more

Did a walk-in for a fade and Tony did an amazing job. Super chill guy, great conversation, and really skilled with the clippers and scissors. Hella talented guy. Would definitely go back again. read more

Really enjoyed coming here. As a first timer, I placed a huge bet on this place and they sure delivered. Just a few days before my wedding I came for a touch up and they did a great job. Tony was my barber and I would have him again. Sat across from the "Obama" chair where Barack used to go and get his haircuts. Overall, a real friendly place with excellent service. read more

Walked in there and waited an hour and a half for someone to cut my hair. Barbers saw that I was waiting but kept letting guys go in front of me. Walked out without even getting a cut. You're better off going to Hyde Park Barber Studio up the street. Disgraceful service. read more

As a student at the University of Chicago, a nearby place to quickly and easily get a men's cut is an important thing for a student to seek out and find in his first few months in Hyde Park. It's also difficult! Many places charge $30+ bucks for a fast cut that used to cost me $7 in the early 1990's in my hometown barbershop. I almost ended up taking an hour long CTA journey to BoysTown to get a trendy 'do. Thankfully I found Leah (who was at another salon at the time with rave reviews on their Yelp page). Leah is real professional. Someone else's review stated that she makes you feel as if you were at the spa without the spa price and I would say that's the best way to describe my 5 or 6 haircuts with her. Additionally, she shapes beards and brows to make men look professional, sleek, and well-groomed. Clean, accurate lines is the best way to describe her haircutting style. She also makes sure you know how to style your new hairstyle and what products you should use and where to find them at the best price. My reviews tend to be too verbose, but if I were to boil it down, I'd say: Go see Leah (and make an appointment because she's busy) if you want someone who listens to what you want and delivers it, along with some education about how to keep your hair and style it to its best potential. read more

DO NOT get stuck with LEAH, she's Very UNPROFESSIONAL and can not stand any comments or suggestions from her clients. after the first time, I CALLED AND TEXTED FOR A SECOND APPOINTMENT BUT SHE NEVER ANSWERED ME when I really needed a haircut, she didn't even bother to tell me that she doesn't want to cut my hair anymore and I had to look for a new barber when I didn't have time to do so. Just choose any other barber in the shop the rest are all great. read more

Very professional. I made an appointment for 9 am and was pleasantly surprised that the barber I made the appointment with was there and ready to work before the appointment time. Not only did Tony provide me with an excellent haircut, he did it while leading me through an engaging conversation. Not an easy task as I am not very talkative, especially at that time of day. Easily the best haircut I've had in a long time. Thank you Tony. read more

I went to HPHS for a haircut and I had Leah as my barber. I've been to many barbershops in the Chicago area, but I've never had a cut so clean and professional as I did with her. Not only did I get an awesome cut, but Leah's stellar customer service made it an all around fantastic experience. She's highly skilled, can do all hair types and artistic graphics. I walked out feeling like Leah gave me the spa treatment without the spa prices! Because I'm an hour outside the area, the fact they offer Sunday appointments make's it absolutely worth the commute. For those seeking an awesome barbershop with highly skilled barbers, a great diverse neighborhood and rare (Sundays and Mondays) flexible hours, this IS the shop to go to! read more

Really nice barbers. Called ahead and got a haircut the next afternoon. Not the best haircut ever, but good. Not cheap but not expensive. Worth a look. read more

Friendly barbers here. I saw Essex here for my eyebrows to be arched with straight edge, good job and super fast

I start going to Trinia around 2006 or 2007 to maintenance my locs... She was awesome. I moved back to Dallas in 2008 right before the presidential election. I got the opportunity to see president to be at that time in the shop. OMG!!!! If I ever move back to Chi-town and I need locs done I will be coming back to this salon... I love it with... read more

Great service, clean and friendly environment! All barbers are good but Ojoe is the best.

Very professional, clean, and friendly atmosphere. I took my little nephew the day before his first day of school and Ojo worked a miracle on his head. I would highly recommend this barber shop to any man. read more

I came across this barbershop when I needed to find a place for my son's first haircut. The barbershop I went to was great, but it was not "child" friendly as there was a lot of swearing and the conversation was definitely for adults. I live in Hyde Park and just happened to walk by the shop and saw a child getting his hair cut. I went in and met a barber named Tony. I told him i needed to get my son's first hair cut and wanted to make an appointment. Before I brought my son, I came to get my hair cut just to check out the atmosphere first. It was great! Funny, but professional. I brought my son Cameron to get his first hair cut and Tony did a fantastic job. That was (17) years ago and no one else (barbershop and Tony) has cut my son's hair. In addition, after my second son Connor was born and it was his time and to get his hair cut, I brought him to Tony. That was (13) years ago. If you're lookin for a barbershop that is fun, spirited, professional, and simply awesome, this is the place for you and your family. read more

Don't be fooled by these 4 & 5 star reviews. I've had enough barbers cut my hair to know the difference between a skilled barber and a hack. The barbers in this establishments are hacks. Refer to the 1 star review left by Joe.M for this barbershop. I had a similar experience. I asked for a fade with a modern twist to it. As my hack of a barber described it, it is a "specialty haircut" for which he insisted that there was a surcharge above and beyond the usual price. I totally agree that my haircut request should cost more as it is a higher level of difficulty. But the barber couldn't even get the basics right. My hairline is uneven, and my fade isn't faded. I informed the barber that i couldn't accept his first attempt. He tried to fix the mess and it just got worst. At that point, I wanted to salvage what was left and said it was fine so I could limit the damage.I can't , My haircut is straight up laughable. My friends had the best time laughing their butts off looking at my head. It was the first and last time i'll ever come to this place. My advice is that unless you want to be someone's joke, don't visit this establishment. If you want reliability, skill, and professionalism, go to Maestro's on Chicago and Clark. -I wish i had and you will too.. read more

I've never written a review on here before, but Hyde Park Hair Salon is so fantastic that I just had to spread the word. I have tons of great things to say about this place, but the most important one is that Leah is FANTASTIC!! I saw Leah for the first time last spring, and just recently went back for another hair cut (I am bad about getting my hair cut regularly). Not only does Leah do a great job with my hair (I have gotten lots of compliments both times she has cut it) but she is kind, friendly, and really gets to know her customers. Despite it being such a long time since I came last, Leah remembered everything--how she cut my hair last time, how I style it, and where I work. She really makes you feel valued and is a wonderful person to talk to. In addition to the awesomeness of Leah, the salon itself has a great atmosphere--it's a small space so being there is relaxing and comfortable, all of the staff are friendly, and they all clearly enjoy their work too, which makes it a fun place to be. I won't be going anywhere else for a haircut as long as I live in Chicago! read more

Master barbers? Don't believe so. Believed from the reviews that this was a great place, and that I would leave enlightened with confidence with a new look. Well I got a "new" look alright. Fortunately, I walked-in and got attended almost immediately (hence my one star), but that's the last of the good news. The barber asked what I wanted, and when I told him that I wanted a fade with a modern cut-on-the-side he looked unsure. Had to break it down to the point where doubts started brewing. Gave him the benefit-of-the-doubt; my mistake. My haircut took twice as long as the usually do, but what got me worried/irritated to the point were I wanted to get up from his chair and walk out with a half done haircut was that with each stroke of his buzzers seemed uneven/hesitant. Lame-man terms, he didn't know what he was doing. At the end of my haircut the barber showed me what his finished work looked like and it was a squared-up instead of fade and my cut-on-the-side was too low on making it look asymmetrical. I was such a hot mess that I instantly put on a beanie as I walked out of the barbershop. Than I went to work wearing my only hat, specifically a hunter's orange beanie until I could get to another barber to correct what got done to me. Total cost for this haircut was around $60. Hadn't ever paid that much for my haircut until now; don't know about you, but that's pretty steep for my blood. read more
