Amazing barbershop! I've been going to Greg and/or Dan for years to get my hair cut, and they never disappoint. So good with tight fades, regular cuts, and beard trims. AND if you let them give you a horseshoe flat top, it's free!! This place is the pinnacle of quality men's haircuts. Can't recommend enough. read more

Old Dog barbershop is a great spot to get a haircut. They have several barbers to choose from and a bar setup for any beverage you would like. Their barbers are great and friendly and the services are reasonable priced. They do prefer cash but do accept care too. read more

Was in town for a weekend and knew I had to come try this amazing shop out (reminded me a lot of my local barbershop at home.) Got into the shop and immediately loved the vibe - lots of colors, NES available for play on the bar, free drink, dog friendly. Got an appointment with Collette (who I found was recently rated as one of the top barbers in Chicago!) - She absolutely crushed it in every regard, clean fade, asked the right questions, told me what I could do to help the cut go smoothly as well (which I think is a critical step.) Will definitely come back next time I happen to be in town. Great work y'all! read more

This shop caught my eye in insta a while back (when I still had it, and boy do I recommend deactivating that $#!+ ). Was visiting Chicago and knew I had to carve out getting a haircut here. Was nervous asking for a flat top, in part because of boldness of the cut, but also because my hair is on the fine side and I was worried it maybe wouldn't work. It's been a bucket list haircut though. Dan assessed my hair before and assured me it would work, and he delivered!!! I was glowing when I left. I feel so studly and badass. Dan was really patient, took his time, and was great about taking the top down a bit shorter when I asked (which is no quick easy task for a flat top). He even texted around for shops recs so I can keep up this look in LA. Just a really nice guy. The shop is also super clean and beautiful. This haircut was the last thing I did before leaving Chicago and was truly the cherry on top of an amazing weekend there. Would absolutely get another cut here next time I'm in town! read more

Booked on a whim. Taylor did such a great job with my hair & understood what I was going for. Loved the vibe of the shop & the convo we had. read more

Excellent beard trim, easy and relaxing vibes, and a strong appreciation / respect for public health guidelines around covid-19 that I really appreciated. That they are willing to wear masks if folks would prefer it is a really strong and positive choice, and the primary reason I chose them as my new Chicago barbershop. Strongly recommend them, and again, really appreciate that they still provide mask consideration. read more

I am writing this for my husband as we sit here waiting for Greg at his new establishment, The Old Dog Barbershop. We followed Greg from his las place after originally finding him from a zillion positive reviews on yelp (see, it works). The reason Greg has a loyal following is because he is not just "stylist" or hair cutter, he is a master at his craft. He takes a limited amount of "finely" textured, silver-grey hair and never fails to maximize the potential with a precision, thoughtful cut. My husband is a very, VERY young 70 and it is important to continue to look professional and polished. Suffice it to say, Greg continues to do his part to enhance my husband's considerable good looks. read more

All barbers do a fantastic job - I've been able to get a cut from 3 of them and can only say good things. If you have the time to book far enough out, Greg is a true artist! Overall it's a great vibe in the barbershop - always good music, something on the TV, and good chats. 10/10 vibe and 11/10 cut! read more

Old Dog Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best haircuts in town. Bruce was my regular barber, haircuts were consistent with attention to details. Worst part of moving out of Chicago was that I wouldn't be able to get my haircuts here. read more

Greg is a top notch barber! I needed a haircut before my sister's wedding and I decided I would give Greg an opportunity as my first haircut in Chicago. I have naturally straight growing hair so I only get flat tops (usually a tougher haircut for barbers). Greg says he loves the challenge if flat tops and might I add he free hands it. One of the few barbers I've gone to that doesn't use a flat-topper attachment. I got plenty of compliments at the wedding! Thank you for the great work Greg! read more

You can't go wrong with any of the amazing barbers at Old Dog Barber shop. I've gone to see Greg since 2014 and I couldn't be more satisfied with the incredible work he's done for me. Across myriad different hairstyles, Greg has helped me achieve the exact look I want. Fades, beard trims, straight razor shaves, neck lining, Mohawks, and more; he can really do it all and better than anyone else out there. Given my mixed background, its hard to find a barber who knows work my hair. Greg not only knows how to make it fabulous, but exceeds it making me confident enough to wear it in styles I'd never have thought possible. Old Dog has taken the pandemic very seriously and has always made me feel safe and welcome. Their haircuts are affordable, their services are top notch, and the team takes their work seriously. Truly perfect! read more

Very biased review here -- Greg has been cutting my hair since 2013. He's made the second-to-none fade happen for me for events, weddings, interviews, music videos and show days...and of course those regular appointments every few weeks. Consistency and quality never wavers, not even a bit. On top of that, Greg has treated me like family the whole way through. Extremely skilled and no compromises when it comes to doing an exceptional job. Look no further for a Grade A+ neighborhood barber! read more

Great service with attention to detail! I brought my very picky son here for a cut and he was very pleased. The pricing was very fair and everyone was having a great time engaging customers, we also saw a 3-year-old getting his hair cut and the barber was VERY kind and patient with him. Definitely a quality spot. read more

Barber Greg is a master. He's not only familiar with human hair, but he's perfected a method for shortening and shaping it that is unparalleled. He even engages in stimulating conversation while administering this procedure all for a reasonable sum. Book an appointment and see for yourself. read more

I've been visiting Patrick for a few months now and couldn't be happier with my decision. He's an incredibly skilled barber and according to my wife, my beard has never looked better. All my girlfriends also agree. But in all seriousness, Patrick is the best... he has awesome attention to detail, never misses a single strand, has great conversation, does exactly what I'm asking for with my hair/beard, and makes suggestions based on his expertise with no pressure attached. I couldn't ask for more from my barber. Highly recommended. read more

Greg and his crew are awesome. Great barber shop where all the cuts that come out of there are sharp and precise. They also take covid safety and cleanliness really seriously here which I appreciate. Definitely go and schedule an appointment. This will be your new shop! read more

My only regret is that it took until my last year in Chicago to find Old Dog . It's an awesome environment with even better haircuts. Greg is a fantastic barber and very easy to chat with. I've recommended Old Dog to my friends in the city and would do the same for anybody who is in the market for a long term barber. read more

Greg has been cutting my hair for over 6 years now and he's hands-down one of the best barbers in Chicago. Before I found him I'd visited several barbers who weren't up to snuff. Greg listens, makes good suggestions, and his haircuts are spot on. I often get asked where I get my hair cut. Additionally the team at Old Dog are genuinely nice and it's always a pleasure visiting the shop (and the occasional cold beer on their fridge). read more

Went here for the first time after my previous barber left town and I got a sweet haircut from Russ - would absolutely recommend! Very satisfied with the whole experience. Kind of dissapointed with myself that I didn't start going to get my haircuts here sooner! read more

Great job guys. I just got what I wanted. Dane followed all my requests. No bs. My wife like my new haircut.

Taylor has been cutting my hair and trimming my beard for about 5 years. From my wedding, big life events, and all these random family photoshoots my wife books, I've entrusted him to make me look my best. I'm so glad he's moved on to a new shop where I'm able to book him far in advance! I have unique hair thanks to my mixed background. Filipino hair is wavy and full of body. My beard is definitely the Spaniard side being coarse and wirey. I feel not all barbers can work with this but Taylor has never let me down. read more

Simpsons on the TV, cold beer in the fridge, and great barbers best new Barbershop in Chicago.

Greg is a phenomenal barber...he's given me some of the best cuts of my life. He is a master of transformation - from tight fades to hipster mullets to the greatest flattop you've seen. Any time I have the opportunity, I'd go to Old Dog Barbershop for a cut! read more

Obviously there are plenty of shops to go to in Chicago but for me Old Dog Barbershop is the only choice. Great shop, beer, easy parking, great neighborhood, beer and most importantly two of the best barbers in Chicago. Greg is the only barber in Chicago in the last 6 years that I have let cut my hair. Enough said. read more

Got a faded buzzhawk done by Taylor and had a wonderful time. Both he and Greg (the owner) are pro barbers and can cut any kind of hair or style. I was nervous going from a normal style to something new, but it was well worth it. See y'all again! read more

My favorite barbershop. Greg always does a great job! He has been cutting my hair since I moved to Chicago and wouldn't want to go anywhere else read more

Really excited to see a new shop opening up in this part of town! Super easy to book through their site or mobile app. I really like that the app has push notifications if you'd like to join a waitlist for a specific day. Also appreciate the convenience of being able to pay with a card (my old shop was cash only). I got a ton of compliments on my cut, which is all you can really ask for in a barber. Will definitely be a repeat customer and can't wait to see what this place can do! read more

Greg is seriously one of the best in the city. It's a great shop he's building here. Taylor has some great cuts too. It's just a shame Yelp keeps hiding reviews. read more

I'm rarely complimented, but when I am, it's on my haircuts, which I get at this shop. Plus they've got Labatt Blue in the fridge (it's like getting a haircut in Canada). read more

I've been coming here the past several months and this is the best barber I've been to. The vibe is cool, the barbers are great, and I get exactly the haircut I'm looking for. My barber, Taylor, is great and knows what he's doing. If you've moved to the Wicker Park area and in need of a new barber, you should try Old Dog without hesitation. read more

This place kicks ass. Wouldn't trust my hairs with anyone else. Greg and Taylor are both damn good barbers. Don't think, just go. Now. Do it. read more

Best barbershop in Chicago by a longshot. Meticulous work by friendly folks, and the shop is excellent. Pre-covid they had a nice open waiting area with complimentary beverages, even though they keep a tight schedule so you're never waiting long. During covid they're taking precautions seriously with masks, cleaning, gloves, disinfectant, distancing, etc., which is much appreciated. read more

This place is seriously amazing. The cuts are so meticulous and the barbers are ridiculously friendly. Great location and the best I've ever looked. Greg is seriously an artist. read more
