My hairstyle isn't complicated, but these guys have a keen attention to detail about their customers' wants, and it shows in their work. I received compliments about my haircut afterwards. The place has the feel of an old school barbershop that has been brought into the 21st century. And this doesn't stop at the decor, it also applies to the services they offer. I appreciate that they offer a straight razor shave, for instance. It can be hard to switch barbers, but if you're looking for someone new to cut your hair, give this place a visit. You will likely be very pleased with the results.

I've been going to UM to get my haircut for several years. It's a salon that has never cut corners…read moreon a single haircut I've received, which is probably somewhere close to 60 at this point. I've even been on time for one or two...ha. While they are very punctual with their time, they also are very accommodating and do try to make it work when I'm not. Very nice, personable staff & stylists on top of that. Their booking strategy changed with the pandemic; it used to be a no reservations, walk-ins only salon where sometimes you'd sit down immediately, sometimes you'd wait an hour+. Now it's an only reservations, no walk ins with a pretty easy booking process online. Oh yeah also, I mean the talent of the women who actually cut hair there is really, literally unparalleled in the market they're in. This place is *not* sports clips, hair cuttery or anything like that. Not even close.

Since I moved to Naperville I've been looking for a barber who can cut my hair. I asked on…read moreFacebook, Nextdoor, friends, complete strangers...etc. if they knew of a good Black barbershop. Or just a barbershop that can cut Black hair. I always get a bunch of recommendations for overpriced barbers who take FOREVER to get a fade and it's mediocre at best. In their defense, my hair isn't 100% Black, so many Black barbers can't get a tight fade and non-Black barbers don't know what to do. Until I found Excel. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was different because they designed the barber shop to be very inviting and relaxing. Very modern setup with phone charging stations, flat screens and great music playing. Most importantly, my haircut. I had Xavier who was super friendly and is the owner. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and explained the issues I've had with other barbers and he got to work. The cut was PERFECT. It didn't take too long, he didn't talk too much, everything was perfect. I've been there a couple of times and I know the other barbers there are also great. So glad I found this place!

Kara E. did a fantastic job. I was really worried about getting my beard cut (first major trim) and…read moreshe put me at ease and did a great job. They fit me in on short notice and I was out the door in no time with barely a dent in the wallet (seriously like amazingly inexpensive for my bushy beard). I highly recommend anyone with a beard to get it done there. They seem to have some pretty good products too. They weren't pushy on getting this balm or that which is always appreciated. My gf loves the way my beard smells. Next time I go back to sit in Kara's chair (there will be a next time) I'm getting some of the product she recommended. I had a feeling I would walk out happy because all the guys walking out and in the chairs looked awesome. They do ladies cuts and dyes too, so next time my gf is coming with to get the 5 star treatment too.
