I've been going to UM to get my haircut for several years. It's a salon that has never cut corners…read moreon a single haircut I've received, which is probably somewhere close to 60 at this point. I've even been on time for one or two...ha. While they are very punctual with their time, they also are very accommodating and do try to make it work when I'm not. Very nice, personable staff & stylists on top of that. Their booking strategy changed with the pandemic; it used to be a no reservations, walk-ins only salon where sometimes you'd sit down immediately, sometimes you'd wait an hour+. Now it's an only reservations, no walk ins with a pretty easy booking process online. Oh yeah also, I mean the talent of the women who actually cut hair there is really, literally unparalleled in the market they're in. This place is *not* sports clips, hair cuttery or anything like that. Not even close.

Since I moved to Naperville I've been looking for a barber who can cut my hair. I asked on…read moreFacebook, Nextdoor, friends, complete strangers...etc. if they knew of a good Black barbershop. Or just a barbershop that can cut Black hair. I always get a bunch of recommendations for overpriced barbers who take FOREVER to get a fade and it's mediocre at best. In their defense, my hair isn't 100% Black, so many Black barbers can't get a tight fade and non-Black barbers don't know what to do. Until I found Excel. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was different because they designed the barber shop to be very inviting and relaxing. Very modern setup with phone charging stations, flat screens and great music playing. Most importantly, my haircut. I had Xavier who was super friendly and is the owner. I showed him a picture of what I wanted and explained the issues I've had with other barbers and he got to work. The cut was PERFECT. It didn't take too long, he didn't talk too much, everything was perfect. I've been there a couple of times and I know the other barbers there are also great. So glad I found this place!

My wife asked the young man working the desk and he politely said they didn't have any openings. No worries. Then, my wife overheard the manager sa in the snarkiest way possible "Don't you just love it when people think they can walk in and get their hair cut without an appointment, pfft." Is this how you treat your customers? We're officially done with this place. Tell the manager to remove the "Walk-Ins" sign from THE FRONT WINDOW if that's how you're going to treat walk-in customers.

I asked to keep the top long with a fade (2 and 1), trim the sideburns, and square off the back from the natural line. Jose listened carefully and confirmed everything before he started cutting, which I really appreciated. The neck shave was a nice touch, and the conversation was easy and enjoyable throughout. I left feeling fresh and confident. Highly recommend Jose--I'll definitely be coming back
