I've had my haircut at a few different places and they all pale in comparison to the quality of this shop. Doug is my barber but I have had my hair cut by everyone and have never had a bad haircut. Everyone has been professional, friendly, the shop is clean, and they go above and beyond with all their services. The shop is cash only and you need to reserve a spot online with their Resuva booking tool. I've been to a few spots in Chicago and I could tell the barbers here were much better than anywhere I've been for the same price. In the 9 years I've been here, I also haven't seen a barber leave, which speaks to the dedication of these guys to create an atmosphere that's welcoming and keeps customers coming back to them. By far the best shop in Chicago!

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!

Jayuya Barbershop--Don't let the old-school look or the metal railings on the windows fool you. Once you're inside, it's all love. I found them through a Google search, looking for barbers that can handle thick hair without breaking the bank, and Jayuya delivers. I'm talking under $40 for a fresh cut--on the Northwest side, that's almost unheard of. But it's not just the price. This shop is straight-up Puerto Rican vibes. You got framed newspapers, old-school photos, trophies, jerseys, and pieces of the island all over. The owner and his boys post up in the mornings, playing dominos while their kids chill in the back. You're in the chair, getting faded by barbers who've been there for 5+ years, all while that family energy fills the room. One thing I love about this spot--they don't force the convo. If you wanna talk, they got you. If you just want your cut and peace, they respect that too. Bring them a pic, they'll nail it. Ask for a fade, and you're walking out clean. They even hit you with that straight razor for the details--who still does that? Jayuya does, and it shows in every cut. Oh, and real talk, if you don't wanna wait in the queue, just book your spot on Booksy. It'll save you the hassle. read more

The prices for men's haircut is amazing. $20 for a haircut and $25 for haircut and beard. Those prices are unbeatable. The quality of the haircuts are also very good.

There are a few barbers that have been working for a while but there's also some that are newcomers and some are new to this country ( it doesn't mean they arent good because I've seen solid cuts all around) but because this barbershop is so affordable, I am guessing some leave because they don't make enough. So that's good for us as customers, but I don't know if many barbers stay because of that. There's no appointments, everything is walk ins But the good thing is that there won't be much of a wait because it is a big shop. So overall, this is a very good barbershop.
