I've waited a full week since getting this haircut to let it properly mature before I judged it…read more Would it turn out like a LaBeouf or a DiCaprio? Only time would tell. Well, time has passed, and it's a... I don't know, Topher Grace? Maybe that's a bit too harsh. More like a Joshua Jackson. He gets the job done, and you know you've got some good feelings about him, but man, I was hoping for at least Josh Hartnett. Child-to-adult actors aside, it's a fine cut. I went in with a mop of hair and left with much less. It's all even, nothing was missed, and I know it's only compared to the length I arrived with that I feel like I left with it a little short. But you could chalk that up to me not effectively explaining what I wanted. Here's a fun fact about barbers: you're stuck sitting in that chair no matter where the conversation goes (you can't get up with one side done). And since you're there for a trim, the barber has no indication of whether you like sporting a tin foil cap. You might have colorful conversations here, is what I'm saying. But I'd rather have conversations than silence and stares. Only two chairs, but I called for an appointment and had no trouble getting one the same day. Not much for rustic barber decor, but that also means it's a lot cleaner looking than most barbers. Now, one key metric by which a barber is measured is the straight shave on the back of the neck. I got it, and it was good. But this was the first time I've ever had a straight razor taken to clean up the temples, moving what I'd probably give a solid three stars to up to at least a 3.5, and that being the case, rounding it up to a four. The price is right, it's close. I may be back, looking for an Elijah Wood or better.

My son got a drastic haircut, it didn't go as he had planned, he wanted to keep more of his lengthy, but I do not fault the barber. My son needs to learn his hair better to explain what he wants.

My son's cut tool 50 minutes, I like that they take their time. I think next time we will have better communication and get the style he wants. They sell products there but do not push. I appreciate that! I believe there are two owners, formerly of Sauvage in Elgin/South Elgin. These guys care about the cuts they are doing, just be specific to get exactly what you want.

The vibe in the shop is great and they are very professional. Highly recommend this location and Leo in particular. Always pleased with their hair!!

1287 West Spring Street South Elgin…read more My boy was growing wild and free, Hair like he just climbed a tree. So I booked a place with glowing praise, Five bright stars and polished ways. It wasn't far, we had the time, But something felt a little off inside. We called to say we're on our way -- The voice went cold, like "Whatever, it's okay." He looked at me and softly said, "Mama... that's a warning right there ahead." Five stars on a screen don't mean a thing When your heart don't like the way it rings. You can follow the crowd or follow the sign, But your body knows before your mind. We sat there quiet, tried to be polite, Ignoring that red flashing light. Now we know what we should've known -- Trust that feeling in your bones. He sat down straight, face like stone, I felt the chill down to my bones. The barber's cap pulled low and tight, Phone in his hand most of the time. I swear I thought -- and maybe I'm wrong -- He's watching how-to videos while cutting along. The scissors moved but something's strange, Left and right weren't playing the same. Five stars on a screen don't mean a thing When your heart don't like the way it rings. We paid the bill, walked out the door, Knew we wouldn't come back no more. Sometimes lessons cost you fifty bucks, And a crooked cut that kinda sucks. But wisdom grows on roads back home -- When you trust that feeling in your bones. Bridge (, ) All the way back we talked it through, About the things we somehow knew. How we lean on what people say, Instead of what we feel that day. Five stars fade but truth don't lie, It lives inside, it never hides. Next time we won't override That quiet voice we push aside. 'Cause life is more than playing along -- It's knowing when something feels wrong
