The whole back part is cut off.
Guillermo P.

I came to this barber shop the morning of my wedding and Luis cut my hair. He cut my hair very well, and charged me more than what was stated on the website. Since he cut my hair well, I decided to go back a couple months later with Luis again. He didn't remember me. He asked me to show him a photo of the type of haircut I'm looking for. I showed him some photos of my wedding day (the cut he gave me). He didn't pay too much attention to the photo and said that he knew the cut and knows what I want. I chose Luis initially because he spoke Spanish, and I am from Argentina. He cut my hair as you can see in the photos - a DISASTER. Not at all aligned: the back is cut off while in the front I have a lot of hair (which I want). I have been growing it out for years and he destroyed the hairstyle that took me so long to create. Instead of apologizing for the mess he made, Luis firmly stated that the haircut was like that and that he did nothing wrong (I think he noticed that he did a bad job because he only charged me $15, while the first time I paid $30). I think he is a beginner and very unprofessional and I don't think a reputable barbershop that charges a lot for cuts should have someone like that on the team. I cannot find anyone to fix the cut Luis gave me. The only option is to shave all my hair off unfortunately. I called Lincoln Square Barbershop to talk to a manager and not only did they not give me the phone to a manager, they also hung up on me. When I called back, they answered but left the phone on by mistake and I heard my barber talking bad about me and trying to defend himself to his coworkers. I STRONGLY do not recommend this barbershop, the barber Luis or the service they give here. They destroyed my hair. What I do recommend, is that instead of putting hot towels on people, this barbershop takes a hair and barber course because it's no joke to cut someone's hair. (For a comparison, see the photos I posted of my hair originally vs. how Luis cut my hair).

Aaron does a fantastic job with haircuts and straight razor shaves. I go there about once a month, and I always get excellent service.

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.

We were looking for an out of town barber for a special event, which can be daunting if you're…read morerelying solely on reviews. 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!

Unfortunately I can not recommend this business. I committed to a quarterly member at $350, so…read more$1400 a year plus tips for a weekly beard trimmer and hair cut. The stylist was fantastic. 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.​​
