I ve been going to this place since 2025 and Mikol on chair 6 is been nothing but great He understands how I like My haircut to be done it's always done on point Thanks read more

The Ashor System: From what I've seen, a newbie barber starts by sweeping the floor and watches, listens and receives instructions from the veterans and eventually get his own chair...Zayas is the first guy I remember seeing sweeping to having his own chair. I've been getting my cuts from Sargoon just because he was my first cut over 4 years ago but all of these guys are exceptional at fades. Even now at $20 per cut, I wouldn't think about changing shops. Appointments would be nice but that's a level of chaos I wouldn't wish on these guys; for their cut, I don't mind waiting on two or three guys ahead of me. read more

I was a very loyal client of Ashor ,im an older man with very shot hair. I decided to grow a l little gotigue and I didn't make an apointment gory facial hair,hetold me that maybe he would not have time . It took him less than 5 minutes to take care of my request and he decided to change me Xtra because I did not have an apointment for my facial, I had always been witn a 10 dollar tip,I Ashor is a good barber but he is not the only game in town . read more

Been a client of Ashor's since before he opened his own shop here on Dempster.. 15 years of staying fresh, and he is still the best in the game. Ashor's Fade isn't just a barbershop, it's a Skokie institution. Precision fades, real-deal consistency, and great vibes. These guys don't miss. If you want to walk out looking sharp and feeling like a boss, this is the spot. No question. read more

Ashor's Fade - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Honestly I have ambivalent feelings about this place. From all the hair salons I discovered near the Evanston area, this place excels incredibly in actual mid to high fades. The price coming in at $15 is pretty worth in my opinion compared to the other surrounding local barber shops. The issue I have is that there is always a long line and you can not make an appointment prior. If you go in at say 5 or 6 pm before their closing time at 7 then good luck cause they will tell you to come back the next day. The second time I came to this place, I was told that it would be a quick wait by one of the barbers on the phone but I ended up sitting in the lobby for an hour and half. Now to me that isn't quick at all but if you have an hour plus to spare by all means this place is excellent. read more

I was referred to Ashor's by a couple of friends that live in the area. Unfortunately my experience was not great at all. When I arrived there was a barber immediately available and he took me, which I thought was great. But that's where it ends. I sat in the chair and told the barber what I wanted (a "1" all the way around, and clean up the beard). The "clean up the beard" is very important to note as you'll see in two seconds. The barber repeated back what I asked for and immediately went to work, starting with the beard - by SHAVING IT COMPLETELY OFF. He had already done the damage when I noticed what he was doing. At this point it's too late as half of my beard is now lying on the floor. Obviously I was not happy because that's not what I asked for. He then goes to work on my hair - and does half of a "1", before I asked him to take it down more, to match the sides. He didn't really do that, and now it's looking a hot mess. Seeing as my lunch was almost over and I had to get back to work (and didn't want to cause a scene because I was already very much ticked off), I let him finish. I will say he did a good lining, and the price was less than I expected. I don't know if he didn't completely understand what I wanted (even though he repeated it back) or he decided to be creative, but I was not feeling it at all. Will I be back? Doubtful. read more

John in #4 is the best and #6 is my number 1 backup. Most importantly, $15 haircuts at this price...in this economy highly recommend

I've been going here for years. They have the best barbers here, I highly recommend! Vibe is good and chill.

My son gets SUPER NICE HAIRCUTS if you want a good barber I recommend Sargon for a really good haircut

Honestly the best hidden secret of Skokie/Evanston/N. Chicago area. These guys KNOWWWWW what the F they are doing. Their prices are beyond unbeatable, and they are just about the business. No fluff, no BS. Do yourself a favor and find out what you've been missing! read more

I took a chance on this barber shop. And I loved my haircut with exception of my request that I asked the barber not to cut my hair off by my ears. We'll call them sideburns but I'm my case baby hair. And I was shocked after to see they had been completely shaved off. Yes. I might return again in the near future. Maybe read more

Great price for a fade haircut and they do a good job. All there barbers were doing a great job with the cuts. Can't go wrong.

Always gives the best fades in Chicagoland area. I recommend barber chair #4 . He has consistently gives excellent haircuts and beard shape ups! Highly recommend this place read more

Well I really think that taking time on the hair means precision cutting and this place delivers been going for a while now and love the cuts from Zia. read more

They do the best fade in the Chicago area and they're half the price. I drive 20+ minutes from the city to get my haircut from Ashor.

We just moved to the Northshore from the city and I was looking for someone for my teen son. He leaves on an international trip for 1 month so I wanted to wait until last minute so he can survive 4 weeks with no cut. I decided on this place since he wanted a small design in the back and the reviews were great. They did not disappoint! Everyone was so friendly and their work is so precise. I was very pleasantly surprised by their rates also. This will definitely be out go-to from now on! read more

What's consider to be an appointment? Show up and grab a number on hold get out and return 1 hr later? Or set a time to show up. Last couple times am been deceptionated for the waiting . I try to set appointment and said to me that "no appointment needed". Yesterday I show up and there is a list with one person written down before me and one person waiting on lobby. After a while I saw the guy to be next and been seat with Ashor. Just in that moment few other guys arrived and couple were smoking with Ashor. I wake up to ask how many guys are before me?(Since the other person on list didnt had assigned with a specific Barber I assumed I could be after him) but Ashor started counting the 2 guys smoking. Plus the guy inside and another more who was in his way and told me I you could be next until 330pm. I arrived at 12pm and was almost 1pm. I really get upset and sid I had to be at Ohare at 330pm exactly and leave. Really Piss me out. Last time they dont accept appointment and nobody but 1 person before me in the list. My respect for your great job and miracles that u do for me . You are spectacular and professional. Either you guys need a secretary or make your mind that list needs to be updated with people present on hold plus waiting in lobby and your appointments. Giving you 5 stars because the great job. And I know you guys could manage by adding a sign to request everyone to sign up before entering the lobby so everyone who arrives knows the list. read more

If you're african American don't go here they don't know how to cut that type of hair. Asked for a low cut wave length and I got almost a bald fade and once he finished cutting my hair down he didn't line me up in the front. Terrible experience will not be going back. I guess that's what you should expect for a cut under $15. read more

Quality haircuts for my son - these guys really know what they are doing. My boy had awful cowlicks but he always leaves here with a more manageable head of hair! read more

I moved to Skokie recently from Chicago where I had been going to the same barber for years. Out of convenience, I decided to look for one near by. After Yelping for a decent barber in the area, I decided to give Ashor a try based on his reviews. I was very happy with my first cut but didn't take any pics. Second time I think he did an even better job. This is a great place for a cut and fade. It's very well lit and clean, smells good too. read more

Ashor is the owner. He is terrific hair cutter. It's apparent to me that it's a family business. Be prepared to wait. It's busy. There are 5 beys each manned by an individual barber. Price for a basic haircut is 15.00. You are supposed to sign your name on a list, with your cell phone #, and the number of the hairstylist you prefer. Ashor's bay is #1. His business is clean and professionally designed. As I said before.... it's busy. If you write on the wait list" whoever is available" you will be seen quicker. It seems like Ashor and Joe ( #2) are always in demand... read more

I've been getting my haircut by Ashor for about a decade now. He's a friendly, honest and highly skilled barber. His shop is very nice and clean and the staff is professional and very cool. High quality haircuts for a great price. Highly recommend this barber shop! read more

I stopped in here out on whim because I started feeling like my current stylist is very expensive. Before covid hit I paid $30 for a haircut but there was a couple pampering perks included. Since covid started they are charging the same amount but without the perks. I wasn't happy to go somewhere else but for paying half the price, it was a no brainer. I am a little picky and thought they did a great job. Maybe even better than the previous place I went. I will be back. read more

So, my stylist didn't speak English and WAS NOT CERTIFIED!! The only way I could communicate to him about what I wanted was through the owner of the store. The owner said I'd look bad with what I wanted (an undercut) and told the stylist to give me something else in Arabic. They ignored me when I said I had cowlicks, so part my hair was pointing in every cardinal direction. Also the store only accepted cash and Venmo and a lot of guys were coming through to only go into the back private area of the shop, so it felt like a sketchy operation and I will never go back read more

Phenomenal place! Very friendly environment and the best haircuts in the Midwest, simple as that. If you're getting a haircut or need your beard cleaned up I would 100% recommend this place!! read more

I have been coming to Ashor for years and hope I never have to go to anyone else. I have seen his other barbers do some excellent work there as well. I alway receive compliments after a fresh fade. On top of giving the best haircut in town it's also the most reasonably priced. I highly recommended Ashor's fade to anyone who wants to look and feel thier best! read more

I don't know how much my haircut was but it was cheap. I asked how much a shave was and he quoted me $10. I said sure let's do it, and the haircut. The shave was good, the cut was bordering on great, the Conversation was nonexistent, and the wait time wasn't bad. Very glad I tried them out. Highly recommend! read more

Unlike other reviewers i had a really bad experience. There is only one person who works here. Even if there are 2 people on the line you will end up waiting here 2 hours. When i called before going, first 2 times no one picked up the phone. Later when they finally answered they said they don't do appointments. Ashor had 2 friends sitting on the barber chairs and talking to him while he is giving haircut. Ashor seemed really slow and at one point he went outside to smoke with his friends while we are waiting to be given haircut. I didn't find this place professional. My advice to Ashor is keep his friends away from his business. Hire more people and do appointments. I am not going back here again. read more

tried out this barbershop, i came in with decently long hair and i wanted to maintain a bit of my long hair on the top and just have the sides cleaned up - i even showed a reference photo. everything was going good until after he took a part of my hair from the top, he did ask me if the length was good (trimmed a bit of the ends), the length was just fine until it progressively got shorter and i end up leaving his chair with 3 inches of hair on the top. and a messed up lining on the left. you're better off finding another barbershop that actually understands what you're trying to go for. read more

After living in the area for 4 years moving from the city, I finally found an amazing barbershop that have barbers who are well aware of recent trends and don't charge you a ridiculous amount of money. I've mainly gotten my hair cut with Joe , who does a fantastic job. Both guys are friendly and it is clear their quality of hair cuts are awesome. I also take my 7 year old son here who never gives me a hard time anymore about haircuts since he thinks they are so cool! Highly recommended. read more

I have been going to Ashor for about 2 or 3 years now. I heard about him through a couple of friends and ever since I went to Ashor I have never went to anyone else. I love how much time he takes on each person. He is never in a rush to cut your hair and always gives you his full focus and attention to all the details. Most of all, he really makes you feel comfortable when you are there. Not to mention his spot is fully remodeled and looks great and modern! I would definitely recommend Ashor to anyone who is looking for a great barber, comfortable spot, and a good price! read more

Just got cut by John and let me tell you the man absolutely snapped. Everything was on point. Very clean fade. I will absolutely be coming back. read more

Ashor is a master of his craft. I have been a happy client for nearly a decade and always refer clients to him. Everyone always asks where I get my haircut and beard done. You can't go wrong with Ashor and that's a fact!!! Hands down he is the best barber in town. read more

I'm very meticulous with my haircut but this place has it spot on. Great fades. Great beard lining! Very clean & professional! Not to mention that the owner and every employee in there are very good people. There's a reason they are busy! Go in and thank me later! read more

This crap shop should be shut down. How are you a barber but don't know what a low mid or high fade is or even a lining or blowout. This guy's has been cutting years for two years. He's always busy and you will wait 3 hours min. The guy who runs it smokes cigarettes between customers and later smells on his fingers and hands when he touches your face. He also doesn't touch anything below your earlobes, if you want him to finish it's extra money. This place is a joke. I'll never come.back read more

I went for a cut, they told me to sit down. I waited an hour for a simple cut and they just let people go. I got up and walked out. I went here a month ago and the cut was great and got it right away. I feel like I wasted my time today sitting for nothing. read more

This is a great place for a haircut. The barbers are really nice guys (they're all assyrian) they'll talk about anything and make sure you get what you came for. There are no appointments, it's all walk ins because they're so busy. Well worth the wait. Ask for Yonan, he'll hook it up. read more

Great haircut location, these guys can fade really well. I did a bald fade and it came out great, if you have time this is your spot for sure, it's a popular place so you can expect to wait for at least 45 minutes but it's well worth it. I will come back for sure read more
