Easily the best barbers in the Chicago Suburbs. These guys are pros through and through. The shop has a chill, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. I personally go to Rob and Jose, both are extremely skilled and always leave me looking sharp. But honestly, the whole team is amazing. You really can't go wrong with anyone there. Big shoutout to Jose for running such a solid shop. He sets the tone for quality and professionalism. It's also awesome to see a Rolling Meadows local set up shop right here and bring such a top-tier experience to the community. Whether you're going solo or bringing the fam, this is the place to go to. And if you're in a neighboring town, it's 100% worth the drive. Highly recommend! read more

Ive had my hair cut by Jose for the better part of two years (even before he opened this shop!) and I can say with confidence, that the man is a master at his craft. Whether you're particular, and know exactly what you want from a barber, or just need a good, simple cut, the guys at Jefes will hook you up. The barbers are friendly, and attentive to any specific requests you make during your cut, but also have a knack for giving a great cuts even if you're not sure what to ask for. If you're a guy looking to make the switch from franchises like Greatclips to a legitimate barber, or you're looking for the best fade/taper of your life, Jefe's is the place to go! read more

Friendly. Highly recommended!

I came in the other day wanting a perm and cut. First off they only accept cash (or Zelle), and…read morethere isn't an ATM within walking distance so I'm glad they accepted Zelle. Everyone was friendly, there is sometimes a little language barrier but they are patient and we were able to discuss. During the consult I showed two pictures. One being the cut I wanted (wolf cut on shoulder length hair) and the other being the kind of perm I wanted. They specifically noticed in the photo that I showed I wanted looser bigger waves, not extremely tight ringlets. This is my first time getting a perm and they reassured me it would be looser and wavy. However the sizes of rods they used were extremely tiny which I should've said something, but again I don't know much (but I do know those were not the rods for the look I wanted). By the time I got it washed out and was ready for the cut I noticed the curls were as tight as ones you would get from wrapping around a pencil. Unfortunately I am not the best at confrontation but it was clear that it was nothing like the picture. And for the difference in waves I'd have to wait at least 6 months for it to be close to what I wanted. I called after in tears because by the time I got home and saw what I got I basically had an Afro. I wish they offered a partial refund or something. I was charged $160 for the perm on hair shorter than shoulder length for a perm that should not have required as much rods as it did since they used extra small rods. And $35 for the cut which was fairly rushed and there was no feathering just blunt layered cuts. Overall the vibe is good. They are really sweet with their customers. But I wouldn't recommend here for a perm or any complex cuts. It felt more like a barbershop.
