After 3 months of closure and my hair long enough to make me look like Gene Simmons, Christa and the gang are BACK IN BUSINESS. I am glad that Artistic Barber made it through the COVID storm and I'm looking forward to seeing Vito and getting my mop finally cut for motorcycle season! If you haven't been here yet, you have ZERO idea what your missing. Small barber shop feel with a personal touch by each barber. read more

You only get what you pay for. This isn't Sportsclips and nor should it be. Worth every penny.

I've had good haircuts here and my usual barbers have left. Took a chance on a new barber named Zara who gave me the worst attempt at a skin fade I've ever seen. I had to resort to scheduling an appointment with Floyd's the same night because she didn't even give me a fade whatsoever. She was clearly new or very inexperienced with fades. She forgot when my appointment time was, burned my neck twice with a hot razor, and used mostly scissors and a comb to attempt to fade my hair. She clearly saw the burns on my neck and didn't even address them or apologize. She drenched me with water to wet my hair and water dripped into my ears and mouth. Absolutely no attention to detail. I should have known better when I saw her pricing was $20. Filling this barber chair with this very low quality and competency level is just not right. read more

The best Love Christa She knows the amount of hair to cut as you want, very clean and professional establishment. read more

Roman gave me best haircut in my life, he is a big professional in his job, definitely recommend Thank you read more

Frank is my hero. I went to Artistic Barbers for my first professional haircut. I came in not knowing if anything could really be done with my hair, but he had me walking out with the cleanest cut I could have ever imagined. He was a true professional, and I will DEFINITELY be returning. read more

Only visiting the area, but best haircut I've gotten in a long time. Violet did an outstanding job!

I am completely happy with my new haircut. I was taken right on time, Christa asked me exactly the right questions in regard to how I wanted my haircut and was very professional and personable. I left the salon feeling like I found someone who understands my style ‼ read more

I love this place - great haircuts, affordable prices. I've only seen Frank who is excellent, but I'm sure the rest of the crew is as well.

Cool place with great pricing. They listened to what I asked for and did a great job on the haircut. It was my first time going and I immediately booked my next appointment. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Best barbershop in the burbs. Megan can do no wrong and an absolute pro with a straight razor, too.

I tried them 1st time. I was told $25 for haircut on the phone. After regular haircut, I was asked for $45 for same hair cut I get at Great clips for $20. I will go back to Great clips. read more

This place is fantastic! I was in need of a new barber after the place I was going to for 12 years closed.. Milos was able to get me in same day! I was a bit nervous having to try a new place and tell someone one how to cut my hair, instead of just saying, "the usual" I'm happy to say my haircut blew my expectations away. Milos is a true artist at his craft. I have found my new barber shop. A true professional! read more

Love this place. Always feels like a warm and inviting place for a cut. They do it the old fashion way with a straight razor warm shaving cream finish. Ya can't get that at the chain places. Reasonable prices and excellent service by professionals. I usually walk in and they fit me into the schedule. Megan is amazing and always makes me feel welcome. Her work is excellent. Guys, this is our type of place. They even put out donuts and coffee on Saturday but save me a glazed one. read more

First time here. Made an appointment at 4pm for a 4:30pm appointment. Megan was able to take me and did an amazing job! I am definitely coming back to her for another haircut. And she did a mean part just the way I like it! Thank you! read more

Artistic Barbers - Perfect haircut. - Barbers Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

made appointment at 12 and actually started at 6 minutes ahead of schedule so i guess that's good; yet a very below average hair fade at the price; got nicked twice; not a good turn out and I asked for a SKIN FADE and that is not what i got either; and yet still got charged the entire amount; so needless to say not going going back this place for my hair cut needs; also too much for the quality of haircut you get at least for my fade read more

Milo is top notch and clearly cares about the hair he cuts.

From the atmosphere to the quality of my cut, Artistic Barbers is the best Barber shop probably in all of lake county. I have been to dozens, no joke, of barbers and salons just to find someone who can cut my hair. Might be a little biased, but Mandy is the best! read more

Very professional and friendly Barber Shop. Christa is amazing.

My husband went to get a beard trim. Mandy trimmed his beard and did a fabulous job. The ladies working were very friendly and welcoming. The barber shop was very clean. Definitely recommend to others! read more

It is said that the fear of public speaking is the most intense fear for many people. Probably just below that is the fear of having your hair cut by a new barber. My regular hair cutter was unavailable, and I was in urgent need of a haircut, so I perused Yelp for some ideas. I first rejected all the one $ places (the cheap, fast, chain operations), and picked a shop in my area that got some good reviews, and didn't seem to want to charge sixty-five dollars and sell you a club membership. Just a barber shop/haircut salon that did decent work. My fears were not borne out. The haircut was decent, the hair cutter pleasant. Was it a great haircut? No. Was it a bad haircut? Also no. I might go there again if my regular isn't back on her feet. The cut was quick, not really precise, too short in the back (and shorn to that length first thing, with a trimmer, and to a somewhat artificial line), but otherwise an improvement over the shaggy look I had developed. I'm glad I got the haircut. I needed it, and it looks pretty decent. Not the best around, but it is a step above the budget joints. Three stars isn't a bad review; it's just not a particularly good review. read more

DON'T GO AS A WALK IN; THEY WILL MAKE YOU WAIT AND WAIT, WHILE LAUGHING AND TALKING TO CUSTOMERS AND EACH OTHER. In fact, Don't go in at all. $22 and expecting a tip for basically a buzz cut with almost no trimming, after cutting off 95% of my father's hair, which was on the long side on purpose. I made a point to say that my father likes his hair long and the girl takes an electric buzz cutter and takes off starting with his side burns (no shaping!) and 2 inches all around his ears, 4 inches around the back. There was so little left that I told her not to cut any more hair but she didn't care... she kept buzz cutting. When I told her I wasn't happy this time, she got angry and began telling me off. I'm a big tipper... a crazy big tipper but this time... I left putting her $22 next to her cash register without a receipt and she yelled out the door, "Where do you think you're going?" I said, "I paid you." (I shouldn't have!) NEVER GOING BACK. read more

Second time here. I don't know anyone well enough to be loyal but he two women that have cut my hair so far have been terrific. They do great quick work and as a bonus are very nice to talk with. read more

I was scared to try a new barber but my expectations were met capably. I was seated almost immediately and had the most pleasant conversation with my barber. She was kind and easy to work with. The cut was one of the best I've ever had. I hope to be back! read more

Megan did a great job. Shop was sanitized, we all wore masks and I got the haircut I wanted. Kudos to Megan. A real pro. read more

Had my first cut yesterday at Artistic. Mandy did a great job. I'll definitely be back. love the hot lather shave on my neck.

I've lived in Buffalo Grove for 10 years... how did I not find this place sooner? Christa is awesome - fast, thorough, and a great looking cut reflecting exactly what I asked for. And it looks like the rest of her crew can get the job done too. The haircut is great, and this place has the genuine old school barber shop vibe all the (much more expensive) gents' chains are trying to manufacture. Look no further than this hidden local gem! I'll be coming back for myself and my son for years to come. read more

Amazing haircut and a great, relaxed environment . I got one of the best fades I've ever gotten. I would definitely recommend this barbershop to anyone. read more

Two years can be a long time in the life of a business, and in the last year alone, the two "old guys" working here (Joe and Luke) have retired. Its still mostly a classic barber shop, not a unisex beauty parlor. As a longtime client of Luke's, I had to make that critical decision. Christa is now the owner and the shop has been spruced up a lot in the last year. Still no receptionist, no fake sports stuff all over the place, and you can now make an appointment for any day. read more

Great atmosphere and staff. Defiantly would recommend to a friend. I've been to places all around for haircuts since moving to this area and found a home here. Meghan always does an outstanding job with my haircut/fade. Now I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

My son and I have our hair cut at Artistic Barbers. And have been going there for the last 12 years. It is not easy finding someone who cuts our hair 'just right' but that is why we keep going there. I would strongly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great Barber over a froo-froo Stylist, any day. read more

Artistic Barbers - Merry Christmas from Artistic Barbers! - Barbers Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

This is a Barber Shop, but don't let that fool you. Great men's cuts, but the they do great women's styles. We have been going here for years and the quality never changes. Great stylists, Christa, Megan and Mandy! read more

Christa was awesome and as the newest barber has only been there for 29 years! Great service, very nice barber. And, this should not have two $$, my haircut was only $12! I will definitely be back and so should you! read more

Artistic is awesome!! I've been coming to this place for 30+ years and Christa always provides a great cut and a few laughs.

The best haircut I've gotten pretty much wont go anywhere else Megan does a great job and pricing is great.

I took my three year old for a haircut a few days ago. We only waited a couple minutes before we were taken back. Christa cut his hair. She was so great with my son. Usually he's very nervous to get his haircut but he warmed right up to her. She did a great job! It's perfectly even which is typically hard to do with a little kid. It was also very reasonable priced. We'll definitely come back here! read more

I LOVE coming to Artistic Barbers! Christa and Megan are always extremely professional, courteous, flexible, and friendly. I have never had a bad experience and recommend this place to all I know. They take every walk-in that comes through the door despite how jam-packed their schedules are. The phone is constantly ringing with calls from customers looking to book appointments; I'm amazed by the volume they handle! Everyone in my family comes to Megan: my husband comes regularly to keep a professional look, my son who likes to look as cool as his friends, and even my daughter who is particular about how much and when her hair is trimmed. In fact, we did a trial run in the shop on an updo for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah a few years ago. Megan did such a great job we had her come to our house the day of the event to do my daughter's hair as well as mine, and the compliments that night were effusive! I spend hours in the chair getting my hair colored and styled each time and I make a point of clearing my day so I can go there and enjoy myself because I am totally pampered and included in fun conversations! Megan and Christa are amazing professionals when it comes to knowing how to style my hair and more often than not I say "do what you want because I trust you!", and I've always been nervous about haircuts and coloring. I receive more compliments than I can count each time I leave the shop! I have found my forever hairdressers! read more

They accept walk-ins, but not really. They accept appointments, but make you wait 40+ minutes. Can't manage scheduling and haircuts are mediocre. If you have time to waste, this place is for you. read more

Christa does a fabulous job and is always so welcoming! The whole family loves having their hair done here!!
