Second time visiting this business. Dan is a professional Barber, tell him what you want done and twenty minutes later you're lookin good. No frills shop, so what ! They don't take appointments, strictly walk in but I can understand why they don't. A lot of ignorant customers out in today's world. If you want a great cut for a decent price, try em. Whaddya got to lose ? read more

I always just Walk in. Usually no wait Pleasant experience Good haircut. Old style vibe. Closed on Wednesday read more

I have had a lot of Barbers over the years and to say Dan is one of the best would be an understatement! Lucente's Barber shop is old school and exactly what most men are looking for! A cross between Gran Torino banter and Floyd "The Barber" old town class! No appointment needed just walk and join the conversation! Great prices and a quality cut! read more

Dan is a great barber with a real personality! The prices are fair and Dan is interesting.

Best barbershop ever. Professional, courteous, and competent. I recommend it highly. read more

My husband got a really fantastic haircut and beard trim here today for an amazing price. We are super satisfied and will definitely be back! read more

The price was cheap but they didn't really give me what they wanted and made my hair look weird.

Excellent haircut by very experienced barbers offering friendly service and a fair price. I live in the city, but will make the trip out to Mundelein whenever I can to visit this shop. read more

I hate to be the "guy" to leave a mediocre review; but that's the cut I received. First sign should have told me, as I walked into an empty shop. The haircut was no better than one from a chain. The barber barely asked me for any specific style or how I wanted my sideburns trimmed, back round or straight. He just went about cutting as he saw fit. I prefer "old school shops" over chains, which is why I have been sampling so many all over the place. The only element this shop has is "old" and worn out. The back of neck shavette is always a nice touch. The shaving cream dispenser, for the first time ever, actually had COLD shaving cream. I didn't know that was even possible from the dispenser used (they're all the same in the barber shops). No eyebrow trim. I wished for this to be a new go to place, but alas, the search goes on. read more

Been a regular there for years. Would never go elsewhere. I always stuck with the past owner. One day there were five ahead of me. The other chair was empty. I felt if that man was not really good he would not be there. Had him cut my hair and was very happy. He has now owned the shop for years. Glad I tried him. Great cuts, fantastic personality. read more

My husband will only go to this barber shop! They do a great job! One of the sons runs it now and he's the best.

We went here after the woman who we had an appointment with at Lindenhurst Barber didn't show up. They don't take appointments, but we got right in with the most kind barber who had been working as a barber for over 60 years. He was quick, kind, and very thorough even shaving part of my dad'd neck and sides (not just using the clipper). It was $15 and they could certainly charge more but wow, what a nice experience to have capable people who show up to their job. This is my dad's new place for haircuts! read more

I've become a regular here. It's Dan for me, but all three barbers are stellar. In and out with a great cut!

Love the first come - first serve approach and the haircut was really done well. Great community atmosphere which was very welcoming and warm. read more

Experienced barbers+low price= great value. The place is filled with old dudes, newspaper clippings and the sounds of ESPN. I get the feeling that Dominick could have done any haircut competently. It's the same price as Great Clips, with a LOT more experience, and he actually uses a straight edge razor. We did not have a wait. Be aware that they are so old school that they do not have a website, and they don't take appointments. Parking in the back. read more

John Lucente's Barber Shop - Does it get more old school? - Barbers Near Me - Mundelein, Illinois

Can't beat the price and all three give you your money's worth. You get exactly what you ask for.

A great old school barber shop, hipster free zone. Went in to take the winter beard off with a classic hot towel and straight razor.

It only took one visit to prove to me that this is as good as it gets...no more Great Clips, Hair Cuttery, SportsClips, etc. I will let the masses have at those, while I enjoy all of my future haircuts from Dan the Man at John Lucente's! A co-worker who lives nearby told me last week, out of nowhere, that my haircut looks like shit. I couldn't refute, because he was right. Great Clips had done me WRONG! I asked him where he gets his, and without a beat, he said, "Dude I only go to John Lucente's for the past 5 years." An added bonus being that it is ON my way home was good enough for me to give it a go. I've always found that with me being so particular about my haircuts, I haven't had a damn good cut in a loooong time. But my dry spell ended yesterday. The shop itself is no frills, but they do have the old-school chairs, the vintage feel, and the nostalgic accessories. Plus, they don't use those shitty clippers with the plastic attachments; this is the REAL DEAL. And finally let's not forget 2 very important qualities: price ($14 for men's) and straight-razor neck clean-up. OK, that's it, mind's made...no more going elsewhere. Dan, I'll be seeing you often! read more

Hometown Barber - Personal Service I grew up going to Lucente's Barber Shop and have not found a comparable option since. While the quality of haircuts varies (sometimes widely) by barber, the service was always great and the barbers stayed there meaning that you learned who was right for you. They remembered the clients as well, knowing how you liked your hair cut. Great place! Kudos to Dom in particular. read more

Great old-fashioned barber. Gave a precise cut in a timely manner and for just $14! Included a taper with a blade. Atmosphere is great! Notes: closed on Wednesday and Sundays and they only take cash/check, no credit cards. read more

Great haircuts for $15! Dan had good manners and cut my hair exactly how I told him to cut it. They only take cash or check though. No credit cards or debit cards. read more

Great place as aways Dom was on vacation check on the Hawaiian Islands so John took care of me Ken Coslet my son Kody owns Coslet construction solutionsI what a great hair cut visit small town I ran into Billy Lester from Lester's Matl Rt 83 & Peterson Rd read more

This was a great surprise. I walked in and did not know what to expect. What I found was three skilled artists that do things right and old fashioned. Great hair cut. Old school top shelf hot shave and a experience that reminded me of the barber shops of the Bronx 30 years ago. read more

John Lucente's barber shop is the only place I want to go to get my haircut. Dan is awesome and I dont even have to say anything, he remembers how I like my hair cut. I love how we can chat and have a good time and I leave with a great hair cut. Try this place out if you want a good priced awesome haircut. Its not even more pricey than great clips and a 10x better cut. read more

Very nice mens barber. They have that traditional barber shop feel. Love this place! I've sent my fiancé several places to get his long beard and hair cut. I found this spot on Yelp and decided to try it. We walked in together, I was clearly out of place (traditional boys only barber shop feel where you watch tv and shoot the shit) but they were nice to me still. It's walk-in only and cash or check payment. Other places have butchered his amazing beard, didn't line up the sides or chin and hacked the whole thing off. John was careful and shaped his beard properly and lined it up. He did need to request the beard and sideburns line up straight but it wasn't a problem. He did listen well and was able to properly fade the sides leaving the top long so it an be styled back and ultimately put in a trendy man bun. John even used a straight razor to clean the neck perfectly. He finished by styling his hair back with a perfect vintage wave. The total cost for his amazing service...$14. Now that's a great deal, especially for the quality of work. They also do hot shaves with a straight razor for $25. This place is a perfect, classic barber shop. It's all men cutting. John said he's been doing this over 50 years. It took a long time to find this place and several fake barber shops where a cosmetologist cuts beards and hair. In my opinion, the only one that can appreciate how to properly trim beards is a male barber. The quality of work is just better. read more

John Lucente's Barber Shop - Before and after beard trim with faded sides and a long top. - Barbers Near Me - Mundelein, Illinois

I have to go a touch out of my way for my haircut, but I do - definitely worth it. They all cut my hair well, so no wait usually for me.

My experience here was pretty good I was given exactly what I requested. The only downside was the lack of blending on the fade or taper. I don't blame the barber because I've come to the conclusion that in the suburbs it's not very common and I won't be getting the exact taper blends I got in the city. Customer service was good you got the barber shop feel and if you are looking for a good trim this is the place for you. read more

Dom is the best barber I've seen in Illinois. His prices are too low for the quality he gives. He seems to be motivated by a good head of hair, I get the best razor cuts a fine head of hair can have. His father trained him well (John Lucente). read more

My husband went here for a much needed haircut and was given the best one he's had so far! He said it was clean, quaint, and a great deal for only $12! They do only accept cash or check just an FYI. He will be going back here every other week! read more

Nice old time feel, great hair cut and price.

I always get my hair cut by John whenever I'm in town and I'm never disappointed. He does a great job and is easy to talk to.

John gave me the best haircut I have ever had in my last 5 years in the US. He is an awesome old fashioned barber with 50 years of experience. He got what kind of haircut I wanted and gave the same precisely. Happy that I have finally found a good place for haircut. read more

Was looking for a place to take my lumberjack bushy beard. Had heard of this old school barbershop and checked out the reviews. Walked right in sat down and showed Giovanni what I wanted. 15 minutes later I had exactly what I asked for. And for only $10. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Nice hair cut and nice hot shave... haven't seen barbers so professional and courteous... nice job... Will visit again... Thank you read more

Finally found a nice barber shop that knows how to cut men's hair. I've been searching for 2 years to find a good place!

My brother-in- law and his son were in town for a family celebration. When Jeff mentioned they needed a haircut, my husband suggested they try John's Barber shop. A nice place with a personal touch you just don't get at a drop in franchise shop. They were glad they stopped in and had Dominic cut their hair. We laugh how good they look in the pictures! read more

Wow what a great haircut and beard trim! I even was lucky enough to have John himself cut my hair. Mille grazie signore!

I am customer of this place for so many years, and a few description or words they know what they doing, Very good location, Happy Customer.

I have enjoyed going to John Lucente's Barbershop for over 20 years. And the magazines, newspapers, and television await me while I wait for my turn. John and the other barbers always engage in a friendly conversation while they cut my hair. The atmosphere is always welcoming and friendly. read more

Im from the South Side of Chicago and this is an old school barber shop like im use to! Fantastic cut, trimmed my sideburns, and goatee. Best barber shop around!!! read more
