D Speed has me cleaner than a preacher on Easter Sunday!
Raheem A.

I can vividly remember the Oak Park of the 90's and early 2000's that was sadly known for its high crime rate. Fast forward to 2022, and due to the area being "upgraded (gentrified)", there is a lot less crime (thankfully), thriving businesses are in existence, and luxury housing is available. While doing a Booksy search for highly-reviewed barbers, I came across the profile for Dwayne Speed...a barber at the World Class Faders barbershop. The photos showcasing Dwayne's line-ups and blends immediately sold me! Without hesitation I booked my first appointment. Normally when I enter a barbershop, either one of two things occur; I receive a very uninspired greeting, or I'm treated as if I'm invisible (use your imagination). Not at this shop! Upon my entry, I was enthusiastically greeted by at these three barbers who were actively servicing clients. I'm normally on the sending end of enthusiastic barbershop greetings. Therefore, I responded with a very meek "good afternoon" in total shock of the warm reception that I received. After Dwayne warmly acknowledged me as a first time client, he asked some qualifying questions about my hairstyle of choice and went to work! Since Dwayne did a great job of asking detailed questions pertaining to hairstyling preferences, I was 100% confident that my cut would meet and possibly surpass my expectations. Roughly an hour later Dwayne was putting the finishing touches on my mini-Afro. I couldn't help but smile as I looked in the mirror. My line was crisp and intact (y'all know that it's always a gamble when going to a new barber), Afro was perfectly picked out and shaped (think Steve Harvey circa late 90's early 2000's), and my beard was lined perfectly and evenly on both sides. I was not only shocked at the positive reactions/feedback from both my wife and son, but also from the feedback that I received from the trip out of the shop to my car. Two separate parties smiled while complimenting my haircut. Thank you Dwayne, I'll be scheduling my next appointment soon!

Recently opened and located next to Fixin's Soul Kitchen, World Class Faders (WCF) is a great spot in Oak Park if you need to get cleaned up and looking right. I've now been here twice to see my boy Armando who's recently moved to this shop, and was just here this past weekend. Since officially opening back up after this whole COVID-19 issue, when you walk in the first thing you'll notice is WCF's large hand sanitizer stand and face masks at the front. For those who need it and all barber areas are sectioned off with screens, and all barbers were wearing masks as well,l. Anyone waiting for someone to get a haircut currently has to wait outside, to minimize the number of people in the actual shop at a time. Armando always hooks it up with my hair and beard needs, and has various haircut packages for you to choose from. So you can come in and get a quick cleanup, or sit down for a 60 min appointment and get a full haircut, beard cleanup with straight razor and hot towel treatment (if needed), and a cleansing mask. You can also either call/walk-in the day of (not advised since he books up in advance), or you can setup an appointment through his online booking account, which is available to all of the barbers I believe. Another thing I wanted to point out is the the vibe of the shop, especially the music selection. You can't go wrong with old school Pop, R&B, Funk, etc., and get cleaned up while vibing to the likes of Prince, the Gap Band, or New Edition? It's very accommodating to everyone especially kids, which is a plus for me since I bring my young boys here to get their haircuts as well. Overall: If you're in the area looking for a nice shop, that will give you a clean cut with a good vibe. Then definitely check out World Class Faders!

Kaelani is the girl to go to! I always get great compliments on my hair and love the curly hair services. She understands my hair goals and adapts the product to fit with my preferences! My curls feel hydrated, healthy and poppin! I have been going for years and will always trust my hair in her hands. She is the "magic barber" to my nephews who only trust her to do their hair. She does it all!

Kaelani is soooo AMAZINGG! She has been doing my hair for so many years now and I can always count on her to get my hair done exactly the way I want it. Whether it be color or cut or trying a new style. Her vibes are so chill and fun. She is patient and knowledgeable and always remembers small details about what we talk about . I have even recruited my girlfriend to get her haircut with Kaelani and she loves her haircut every time. I will follow Kaelani anywhere. these are just some of the things that she has done for me throughout the years I have been with her.

Started coming here a few months ago got cut by two of the barbers there. But just from peeping the others barbers works they all got bars. Professional friendly and funny good old school barber shop with a new school twist. Definitely would recommend them for a haircut.

Finally found my new spot! It's hard to find a good barber. Not only did i find 1 barber but also found several in the same shop @ World Class Faders. Today, I received the best haircut & beard trim I've ever had. Lonnie & his staff are professional with great & fun conversations. The atmosphere is great. Good music vibes. covid clean. I enjoyed my experience & will be back. World Class Faders gained a forever customer.

I stopped by today after scheduling an appointment literally yesterday last minute (thanks Brooke…read morefor the flexibility and great communication!) and am SO happy I did. Coming from LA, the prices here are so reasonable and the service quality is fantastic. I needed a refresh of my hair after having it all grow out from pregnancy so I came in with virgin black hair, and Nola was so wonderful- she was personable, and knew exactly what she was doing so that she gave me a better balayage than the examples I provided. It looks super natural and I'm really pleased with the results. The cut was perfect- she didn't cut off too much and I got to keep my length with healthier layers. The salon vibe: it is in a cute little Victorian house and well appointed... I'd definitely recommend and will be returning on my next visit to town.

She was also at the salon during my appointment and was so warm and welcoming. The salon is easy to find, cute, and clean, with street parking right out front. Nola was my stylist and she did an amazing job. I'm not someone who can walk in and name a specific haircut I want, but I explained how I usually style my hair and some concerns I had. She really listened, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure I felt comfortable with the length and style before cutting. She was also great to chat with and gave me really helpful advice about hair care and maintenance. I left feeling good about my hair and have already booked my next appointment with her in 12 weeks!

Before we even started, she confirmed the services I requested and explained the pricing structure; I appreciated the attention to detail. My appointment was about 3 hours and it included hair lightening, pre-toner and toner application, hair wash/scalp massage, and a blow dry/styling. She has been learning more about color theory and narrated her actions throughout the session. Her commitment to expanding her knowledge makes her a great professional and leads to a higher quality product and customer experience. The space is gorgeous, as always. Everything is clean and tidy; staff and customers are able to move around without crowding each other. There are light refreshments available. I also bought some product (shampoo and conditioner). Street parking is available. Treat yourself to a meal at Mother (across the street) after your appointment!

Tina no longer works here. I goto Mindy now. Who cuts my hair perfectly in the faded Asian hair…read morethat sticks up like a microphone. Sounds funny, but eh, at least I don't have the mushroom top head look. My thick hair and the cut I want is not an easy hair cut to do. The description sounds funny, but with gel it's a clean military look or akin to school kids going to grade school. Not my thing but, the maturity aura can be fixed with longer hair on top. Believe the best way to say is it that I have a heart shaped face. That means the top of my hair should look like an egg to my preference. The haircut I want isn't for the faint. Mess up and you cannot fix it. It's why most fades on my hair type sticks out and is not flat on the sides like a flat top. Once Mindy understood I was willing to take the risk, I was rewarded in something that many hairdressers cannot cut and or is willing to do. Which is to fade free hand, then rat tail comb fade the edges on top with a clipper and texture with scissors. Mind you I watched a long time before giving her the go ahead to take the risk. Sounds a lot of work right? Hair dressers will complain doing this type of cut. It's a lot of work, will take time. Mindy does this for me. And for that I tip well. To be fair, I get my hair cut once a month. But it's usually the best way to learn as the hair has grown out and everything needs to be redone again. Note. Tip what you can, I usually tip hourly wage max to half. Mindy gets more, that's how much I like the cut. 15 to 25 percent minimum wage is a good tip. That being said Mindy takes time, is patient, and remembers you. Everything you would want in a hairdresser. I really should come every two weeks but I got things to do. Mindy does textbook style hair cutting. Which doesn't work with my hair cause you don't really expect an Asian with an Afro like hair type, thick, and straight. Takes time to learn cultured hair types. My hair is a rarity. Mindy learned quickly how to cut and tame it. Qualities of a true hair dresser. Note. I got my hair cut by Lynn too. She's good, but she's busy and I believe she understands my haircut and hair is annoying to do. The guy and new girl are good too. Just a preference and patience to be had.

I was also able to avail of a Groupon deal for a blowout, haircut & deep conditioning treatment too. Appointments required, either via Vagaro or phone, 48-hour cancellation window. His hours are only Wednesday through Saturday. As other reviewers have said, the parking situation is scarce. The salon is located in Land Park between Sac City College and Meet & Eat, by the Plaza Cervantes Park on 11th Ave and Freeport Blvd. There are free spaces along the curb right in front of the business, but the slanted spaces facing the grass are 15 minutes only. On the other side of the grassy area, they say 1 hour parking until 7 PM, and the ones along Freeport are for Zipcars; the rest is residential. I was told that the parking enforcement isn't as bad now since it's summer and school isn't in session, but I expect that when it is that you'd have to move your vehicle mid-hair appointment. A bright, clean, and inviting Aveda salon space. Only a brief wait (minutes) before being seen by Stephen, I declined refreshments but they did have sparkling water. I had shown some inspo photos which were more conservative collarbone-length A-line angled bobs with or without wispy/blunt/curtain bangs. Ultimately, I went even shorter with a chic layered bob with side-swept bangs. Dry chop first, then the shampoo/conditioning before the real cut and styling/blowout. Stephen has over a decade of experience and has been at Moski for almost a year now. Easygoing relaxed conversation but quality work attentive to detail and the finished look came out super cute for this last part of summer! Definitely feeling fresh and loving the new hair.
