Nice spot. Joe gave my husband the best haircut ever. Took his time really looked great.

I recently grew my hair out and wanted to get a professional haircut. I haven't been to a barber since 2002. I was a tad nervous. I went to another spot first but they had too many people waiting. I was recommended to this spot by a friend. It is kinda easy to miss, but I went down a couple of stairs. There were 3 barbers there with clients and 2 waiting. I was not greeted but I sat down and waited my turn. The barbers were comprised of 2 older men who spoke Spanish and a younger one who spoke clear English. The owner, one of the barbers, spoke some, and the other older barber was speaking often to his client. However the younger one spoke non-stop to his client. It's a small place so you hear everything. The seating is a bench that runs on the side of a wall; a mirror is above you. Not the cleanest spot but not the dirtiest. I waited at least 47 minutes before being called. The owner took me. He didn't speak that much English but I showed him a pic of what I wanted on my phone and he said ok. That's all he said until he completed my cut. He did a good job. I was impressed for my 1st cut in 16 years. Will I go back?? Only if the owner does my cut. I checked in on Yelp and saw that they give out soda while u wait, but I checked in after my cut. I asked the son if I could get my soda since I didn't get it earlier and he indicated that I should have gotten it while I waited. Hmmmm....it's not what he said but how he said it. The setup for the soda fridge is odd. He didn't hit redeemed on my phone, I just went into the fridge to retrieve soda and left. Kinda odd interaction. Definitely not your salon setup. read more

Good place to get a cut! Most times I came over for a cut, Joe's son took care of me. Pretty cool guy to have conversations with. I usually like to go in the mornings because it does feel really busy in the afternoons and evenings. Expect a 30+ minute wait during these hours, because they do a great job. All the barbers speak Spanish but have no fear if you don't speak it. The younger barbers know English and can definitely help you out. Would recommend this place for a men's haircut in Brighton Park! read more

I have a hard time finding barbers that can give a classic cut right. This is one of those places. As long as I'm in the area, I will be coming here often. read more

The one other review posted here is clearly written by someone that works at the other establishment. All that aside, here is the real scoop. 1. Consistent perfect fades every time 2. All cuts are completed with hot foam straight razor shaves for the cleanest look 3. A little bit pricier than some of the other local hair cut places, but COMPLETELY worth it 4. Relaxed laid back shop with top notch friendly service I was in the Marines for 5 years, so I was used to getting a nice super close cut every week. Every time I returned home for my short vacations I hated it because I couldn't find a place to get a descent barbershop cut. I'd resort to visiting SuperCuts, Hair Cuttery and other local salons for a shave, high fade, and trim at the top. It was always subpar and I always left unsatisfied. Then one year waay back in like 2006 I tried a barbershop by my house and it turned out to be LIttle Joe's. The business is totally professional, place is clean, and the barber (Joe) has one of the best techniques I've seen out there. Fades are executed seamlessly and your haircut is by hand & scissors which always looks more natural than those other chumps that resort to a comb & the trim machine. Joe has his 2 sons working at the shop also. I remember visiting in the earlier years where they would always be present every weekend standing next to their father observing and learning and now they too have acquired this family skill. Joe's proteges have blossomed into great barbers who pride themselves in their skill and technique and I am glad that they have so when I visit, I can easily sit down on any of those 3 chairs and know that I will be happy with the results. One last note: this place has a laid back and clean atmosphere. To me this is a big deal especially since many of the barbershops popping up in the area all claim to provide the "best fades in town". But when you walk in to those establishments you will quickly realize that the clientele and staff is sketchy and questionable. Ok, i'm done beating around the bush: they are ghetto! There, I said it. All in all, this place is great, give it a try, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

I was about to give this 4 and then realized that if a first visit can make you feel so welcome and comfortable, that's probably a very good indication of a 5. What stood out most to me about Joe's is the welcoming personality of the barber I was assigned and the cleanliness of the place with large angled mirrors across so you always know what's going on. Joe's has every indication of consistency which is a gem for barber shops in this neighborhood. First impressions are of a place with a consistent and reliable staff that is attentive and happy to provide their service to you. For my first visit, I received a barber who engaged me in conversation, was friendly, and gave a great haircut. The prices are consistent with what you would pay at a good shop on the north side. I look forward to a repeat visit. read more

I've always been suspect to getting my haircut, so much that my wife has been cutting my hair for about the past 6 years; she's not a trained barber! Over the past 6 months or so, I've checked out a few barber shops; Little Joe's was the last one I've been too, and I won't be going anywhere else! Barber shops these days are about environment as much as they are about the cut. Let's just say the environment at Little Joe's is classic! It's perfect for family. There are children's books that kids can read! The setting is dope. Retro. And most importantly, you feel comfortable. If you're getting your haircut for the first time in a long time and are timid about where to go, Little Joe's is the perfect spot for you. The cut. Can't say much about the cut other than it was perfect. My guy Bryan knows the ins and outs! I gotta go back soon! Overall, this spot is at a perfect place in the city. You'll get a great cut in a great environment. Lastly, prices are probably what you'll expect to pay anywhere else, maybe even a little cheaper than anywhere else. Josh read more

This place knows how to fade you the fuck out, I recommend coming here for a good haircut for a fair price anytime!

Best barber shop in the city. Good prices and they take their time. A family owned, local business which I love. Joe, Bryan, Jose and the "Quiet Guy" will do exactly what you ask for and do a great job at that. read more

Best haircut of my twenty five years of life. Minus one star for a no conversation cut.

TWO words, QUALITY and SKILL!! If that is what you are looking for honestly won't find a better place on the south side of the city. I have to take my brother to get his hair cuts. His super thick, coarse hair makes for a challenge but the barbers show their skill every time. Classy cuts!! I also like the environment, its family vested and I don't have to worry about any shady people or smells. read more

Barber Shop is decent and the barbers are pretty good. The atmosphere is not the best, but you won't wait too long, which is always a plus. I've been here twice (because my regular barber was out of town) but it's what I'm used to. Either way, it's close to home so it's also convenient read more

I have been through many Asian salons to get my haircut and I always left unsatisfied within the week. I thought it would be awkward and intimating to go to a barbershop for the very first time, but it was not like that. It has a warm and cozy atmosphere. Despite the wait, I saw consistent perfect fades completed with straight razor shaves. My barber was Jose also known as Pelos. I had a few ideas about what to do with my hair as the other ideas didn't work so well with the salons. He listened to my ideas and suggested his professional expertise and I followed. He made sure the haircut was to my liking. He also gave great advice on properly taking care of my haircuts and answering all my questions. I will definitely come back in two weeks for a touch up. read more
