Only place I go! Hard core Puerto Rican environment in there with men playing dominó in the back, tons of art on the walls. Lots of barbers who have been there a long time. You establish a connection with the barber you want and schedule appointments with them personally, not a front desk worker or anything. It's really decentralized. Cash only. read more

Worst mistake ever. The barber jacked up my hairline and cut off half my beard even after he was explicitly told not to. Another barber had to assist with my hairline. Horrible experience. read more

Made the city switch so Im in the "dating" phase of trying to find a solid barber. The space is nice, open, and lively. They got their seats lined against the walls and the clients sitting alig the window and in the middle. Also assuming they got their regulars kickback spot in the back of the shop. Great place but wasn't to happy with my cut, came out with my "señor" looking haircut. Im assuming the other barbers were working trough their wait lists and gave me the next available person who I think is a bit newer to the team. Going off the fact that the other barbers didn't know her name. She was a kind woman and made sure to ask how I wanted it. Wanted a trim and the standard fade but kinda went far on the trimming. The shop pricing is doable with the 24 dollars for the cut and shave. This spot is in the heart of Humboldt park with the street decked out with puerto rican pride, as is the shop too. If anyone knows of a talented dominican barber hit me up! read more

Jayuya Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Back in 2015 I was looking for a barber in the wrong area. When I googled for a barbershop in the Humboldt Park, I saw Jayuya as my 1st choice based on the high ratings.

This place will be booked on Fridays and Saturdays , is best to call ahead to book your appointment. read more

This place is the shit! I got a hair cut last week at hair cuttery but i wanted to look super cute for tonight so i came here this morning and got a blowout (taper) and a liner...... I knew everyone in the barbershop including some of the people getting a hair cut.....Its a block from my store...it felt good going in somewhere were everybody shows you love =) The guy that gave me the blowout took his time (34 minutes) and did just a fantastic job! People at the farmers market were like "nice taper".... When your getting compliments-You just can't beat that..... read more

It's the usual story for me... I need a haircut, I'm busy with something else, and I end up not getting one for weeks on end. In the profession I'm in, I need to clean up, so after those few weeks go by, it becomes unacceptable. Decided to look around and see what places to try, and figured Jayuya with it's big ole five star rating would be worth a shot. Get into the store at 10:00 AM, and every one of the barbers look busy so I sit down in a chair and wait... and wait... and wait... and wait... After an hour, I've decided that since I've waited here this long, I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens. At this point, I've seen a few things: 1. These guys can do PHENOMENAL art work on your head. I mean carving out Bob Marley as a design so that it's amazing and clean! Crazy razor work. 2. They often take breaks and just hang out and chat with the customers and themselves. Getting a new customer is NOT their priority. 3. They will bump up people they know past you. I don't know how many people walked in after me and ended up getting a seat before me... About 10 minutes after the hour, one of the guys asks me what kind of cut I want, and I let him know I just need the top cleaned down and the sides buzzed down to a 1 blade. Another hour later, I finally get a chair. He tells me he's sorry for the wait, but typically on weekends they work by appointment only. That helps explain it a bit, since I was starting to feel like as an Asian guy in a Puerto Rican barbershop, no one wanted to give me a cut. And then he proceeded to cut. And he cut beautifully. Worth the wait? Absolutely not. I will not be coming back here on a weekend without an appointment. Worth getting your haircut? Absolutely. I get the feeling it'll be awhile before I become an "ol boy" that knows people there, but I'll be back a few more times to get the nice clean up they did for my hair. $14, and then some tip? Excellent cut and excellent price. Verdict: Come here and check it out. DO NOT come on weekends with no appointment because you will lose your freakin mind. read more

We drive two hours every two weeks for my boyfriends haircut. He's mixed (Jamaican and Irish) so it's hard to find a place that can cut his hair the way that he wants it. The guys here take their time to do it right. You should really make an appointment because they are busy and their customers are loyal. They will cut the hair of those who make appointments before walk ins( as they should). This is definitely the place to go for a detailed cut and shave. They'll even clean up your brows. read more

Nice Clean friendly..you get in in out quickly and at the right price. ..full service shave and cut for around $25

This review is solely for Jose - I was looking for a barber to give my then 1 year old son a haircut. A friend recommended Jose, whom he had been going to for years. I had to book an appointment with him a couple of weeks in advance. When I got there i was the only female and the only Mexican in the place, which i thought was funny, but it is right in the heart of Humboldt Park. Jose was right on schedule and took my son in right away. He did a good job on the cut and when it was time to use a machine on him he pulled out a lollipop right away. He made my little guy comfortable, happy, and the best part is the haircut was amazing. Two years later, he is still my son's barber. My only complaint is that I have to book the appointment weeks in advance, he is good and has regulars with WEEKLY appointments. read more

Jayuya Barber Shop - Great haircut - Barbers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I travel a lot for work switching cities every couple of months. It's always a daunting task to find a barber with whom I entrust my head to. Needless to say I always have to put my feelers out and find just the right barber, typically Puerto Rican and Dominican Barbers I've found to be best. Jayuya is a primarilly Puerto Rican barbership located on Paseo Boricua in Humbold Park. There are a bunch of similar barbersshops on this strip but I was referred to Jayuya from a client so I thought I'd give it a shot. I was told to see Kerly and was very happy with this referral. Kerly is a great guy and takes a lot of pride in his craft. He can do regular cuts, tapes, fades, faux hawks or even do intricate designs on your scalp. I choose my basic low tape and he has hooked it up every time. Definitely a welcoming place and quality cuts would reccomend it to anyone. One word of advice is to call in and make an appointment as it will take a while to get seated as a walk in . read more

made an appointment over the phone when I came in the guy I talked to acted like he has no clue. Sent me to a guy that wasn't busy he did the worst job ever. left a small patch of hair on top and a bald fade everywhere else lol. I look like a clown. never coming back read more

Great barbershop in the Humboldt Park area. My husband's go-to barber is Kerly for at least the last 6 years. Most of the time leaves his hair right on point even after a few switches in style over the years. Didn't meet Kerly 'till recently when my husband insisted on taking our 1 year old here for his haircut. So by appointment on a Saturday, Kerly was so sweet and patient with our son and left him looking very clean cut and handsome. I left telling my husband that he has to share his barber with our little man from now on. read more

No other barber like Kerly @ Jayuya. Razor fade .. I have been coming here for 3years. He's on my speed dial. If I need a quick cut,trim, a refresh --- he's been there. Excellent Humboldt Park service! Go beyond Western Avenue, mi gente- Division Avenue is safe! read more

They are really good. At first,I didn't know what the barber was doing because he cut off my whole side burn diagonally,then i saw that my side burn was still their but looked much better.So, If you want the best haircut, go to the guy at the right end of the first side,where the chairs are. He has his hair slicked back usually and he's the one who can do the scarface design on you.So if you want 1 of the best haircuts there can possibly be, please go to that guy. read more

This is the place to go for a great haircut, good atmosphere, and clean location. Don't come in without an appointment as you will have to wait a long time. Book an appointment with Jose Luis or Ray as these guys are the best and they will have you come back again and again... read more

Unless the barbers know you, they act like they don't notice you when you walk in. Took my son to get a haircut and we were pretty much ignored until one of the guys that was just standing around (and there were three barbers not doing anything) finally asked what we needed. I told him that my son needed a haircut, he took my son to a chair and five minutes later a really young guy came out and started cutting my sons hair. I had told the baber that i didn't want his hair too short just a nice fade and lined up. Well when he finished my son came out with a hair style like will smith in the fresh prince when it first came out! Terrible hair cut and completely uneven. Had to take him to another place to get it fixed. Needless to say I will never take him there again, not only was the service terrible but so was the treatment. read more

So me and Puerto Rican husband visited this barber shop today. Let me just say Kurly did an amazing job. My husband likes the 40's gentleman cut and that is exactly what he got. We come all the way from Indiana and it is well worth it! read more
