    Haircut not cut evenly in front.

    Not coming back. Only good thing about this was the discount the owner gave me for being 15 mins late to my appointment. Haircut isn't good. I asked specifically to make sure it's even in front and he said it was...it's not. Talked down to the whole time. Awful way to spend my day.

    Yesterday, my mother was searching for a place to bring my Uncle Brian for a haircut. My mom does not use Yelp, so I am taking the liberty to write a review for them. Brian is 55 years old, has Down Syndrome, lives close by at Misericordia. & James cut his hair. James did a phenomenal job & even gave Brian a beer (which made Brian feel super cool and very special)! Brian's hair looks fantastic, and I cannot give enough praise to this place. James also refused to take payment for the haircut... According to my mom, James told her, "seeing Brian smile was payment enough for me." Thank you guys so much... Next hair cut I get I will be driving from River North to Rogers Park.

    Thank you Nicole!

    Went in on Friday 8/27 so my mother and I could get our heads shaved (Mom is undergoing chemo), we had appointments set up with Nicole. She took great care of us, and even produced four separate ponytails from my long hair (last cut in 2019!) so I can donate them. Then she surprised us when Mom's cut was on the house. Thank you so much! Great place, great people.

    I went in lookin like just a bastard and left looking like one handsome bastard. They may not be able to fix genetics but they can sure and heck make you hair look great I used to get traditional barbershop haircut when I worked in the Wrigley building many many years ago and these guys are the real deal for a great haircut for men. This shop is awesome and we need more like this is Rogers Park

    Funk's Barbershop, downtown Chicago…read more Back in town for New Year's. Same trip my wife and I make every year. Same city that feels like an old friend. I needed a quick cleanup on the beard. What I walked out with was something else entirely. This was a full man pampering experience. And I'm not using that word lightly. Beard trim. Clean squared lines. Tight fade. Hot towel. Straight razor shave. Another hot towel. Beard balm and oil worked in slow and intentional. Then a clean aftershave that made the whole thing feel finished. Not rushed. Not sloppy. Done right. Joshua took care of me, and the guy is a surgeon with clippers. Quiet confidence. Knows his craft. Listens. Adjusts. Checks his work. Then checks it again. He also introduced me to Lawrence, the owner. Solid guy. Proud of his shop. You can feel that standard in the place. The vibe inside is Chicago. Cool. Relaxed. Real. No ego, but you know you're somewhere legit. You're not sitting in a chain shop where they push you in and shove you out. You sit down. You get taken care of. You walk out looking like you respect yourself again. And fellas, if you stop in, don't be surprised if you see a Chicago pro athlete sitting three chairs down. This place pulls a crowd. Highly recommend Joshua. Highly recommend Funk's. If you're in town and want to look sharp instead of hacked up, go here. Treat yourself. Let them spoil you. Then go about your night with some swagger.

Kenny Mac's had good reviews and a lot of good pictures so we decided to take a chance on them. Upon arrival, the place was super spacious and clean and the team was really welcoming. There was also convenient street parking and a nice area to sit while you waited for your haircut. Onto the haircut! We had the honor of having Kenny Mac himself cut my fiancés hair. He was super kind and easy to chat with during the haircut. We gave him an inspiration picture and he followed that perfectly, like it was incredibly spot on. He was super thoughtful too, asking questions and going back and forth to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted. And the outcome was impressive. I think he will do exactly what you ask him to, so if you're not happy that could be on the customer lol. He recreated the picture we sent him perfectly. The fade was fresh and sharp, and the vibes were good. It was also a good sign that there was a decent customer flow. I was also waiting around and noticed that a lot of other customers had really nice haircuts too so you can tell they really take their time to produce high quality haircuts for everyone, no matter which team member it is. We feel a lot better knowing that we have someone in the city that can do a good job and we are glad that we took a chance on the right person. He also offers mobile services throughout the city so that is really helpful. I really wish we took a fresh picture of the haircut, because now it is grown out, but I think the other pictures you see online reflect the service you receive. Also the prices were really reasonable. I'd definitely try this place out if you're looking for a high quality barber!

However the customer service was sorely lacking. A membership is a different model and certainly a person's hair grows at differing rates. So when my stylist said let's not cut your hair today that was fine. A few weeks later I recieved a text message stating my appointment for that day was changed. This has happened before so I presumed something happened. Typically they reach out but I can't imagine a system errant sending a text for no reason. After I was called for being late to the original appointment time I was confused and spoke with Cassie from the front desk. She was dismissive and disrespectful when I merely tried explaining facts. When confronted her response was she was only being disrespectful because she felt I was being disrespectful to her. A wild thing to say considering the money I was committed to spending and I neither raised my voice, swore etc. After canceling due to her unprofessional attitude she then tried charging for services that were never rendered from the appointments mentioned above. This all could have been easily fixed by her remaining calm, allowing me to send the text, and we chalk it up to a system error. I could have rescheduled the appointment and they'd still have a client. To then even charge for an appointment missed resulting from their system error is disgusting. Thankfully I sent the proof to my band and we resolved it that way. Clearly Cassie has some maturation required for being in customer service. I've overheard her several times at the salon saying she doesn't care about things. And people should know how little they value a membership. Apparently they make less money on members per the stylist so I'm not sure why bother? Anyway go somewhere else where you'll be valued and respected as a client.​​
