Service was top notch. Michael is a true craftsman when it comes to cutting hair and making you look like a million bucks. Truly.

Best hair cut ever. Mike takes his time and it's easy to obtain an appointment. Easy parking too. read more

Michael did a great job cutting my hair AND my beard. He had a customer for a very long time. Also, he had homemade biscotti from his wife which tasted great! read more

I'm from out of town and going to college and needed a new barbershop to go to, and Michael's has been perfect for me. Very good attention to detail and gives me a cut even better than I had back home. Great experience every time I go read more

I was just looking for a quick hair cut and booked a time same day. I can't say enough about the skills Michael has. Attention to detail, super friendly, and a great price! read more

Quality of haircut is great, and since COVID, now is by appointment only and works well. Very attentive and great guy as well, takes his time just as should when at barbershop. Def found my barber read more

My college aged son found this barbershop a few months ago and now my high school son goes here as well. We will not go anywhere else. Michael took his time, listened to what my son wanted, and gave him a REAL haircut. He spent time cutting and trimming and making sure my kids were happy with how they looked. read more

Was in town for work and needed a haircut and shave. Michael was punctual and meticulous. Would highly recommend this spot. Not meant for a quick cut, it's meant for the right cut. If I'm back in Chicago I know where I'm headed for a cut read more

I found Michael's through Yelp and after reading the reviews, decided to try Michael's. I was greeted when I walked in by Michael and quickly realized that I would be waiting awhile. As I sat waiting, I watched Both Michael and Joe's attention to detail regarding each person's haircut. Even their clientele was extremely friendly when they found out that I was a new client. Most of their clientele had been coming to Michael's Barber Salon for years. After waiting awhile for my turn, I was extremely pleased and will be returning again and again. Upon completion, both Joe and Michael asked my name and made me feel like a valued customer. read more

Michael's Barber Salon - Michael at work - Barbers Near Me - Norridge, Illinois

Found this place about 8 months ago and have been coming here ever since for my haircut. I've tried other place but they either rush you and do crappy fades, uneven edges and ugly haircuts for cheap or they are expensive, boring, designer haircut places that don't know how to cut men's hair. That is not the case at Michael's. Both Mike and Joe know how to cut hair, they are thorough, accommodating, and good company. I don't think I'll ever change barbers again, at least I hope not. PS. I've seen them cut kid's hair too, do a great job. Many fathers come in with their sons for a father-son haircut. read more

Just had a great cut and hot towel shave with Joe. Everything about this place is traditional - and I mean this in the best way. Attention to detail, service and great conversation. Next time I'm back in town I'm gonna stop by for a shave - it's worth it! read more

This is a great old school barbershop. This goes back to a time when men would sit in the barber shop and wait to get their hair cut. There are no appointments and it is not a fast experience. So if you are in a rush, this place is probably not for you. If you have time to relax, and get a good hair cut or a shave, they do an excellent job, and are not in a hurry to get the most amount of people in that they can. They take the time to do it right. read more

First time at Michael's today. I don't give a lot of five star reviews but this place deserves it. Prices are low (pretty much the same as the chains) but you get so much more here. Warm shaving cream and a straight edge razor. Old school attention to detail with modern cuts. I read the reviews where people complained about long wait times and time it takes to cut your hair. First of all they do take their time cutting your hair so if you are the guy who wants a 5-minute military buzz I don't think this is your place. It drives me nuts when the stylist at the national chains whip out the buzzer and are finished in 11 minutes. Anyone can do that. These guys take their time cutting your hair because they are professionals. They use scissors, buzzers and a razor. The chains I've been to care about turning over customers. Michael and his colleagues seemed like they genuinely wanted everyone walking out to look great. They were all kind guys. Keep in mind that it is cash only. I found out the hard way. Got to the register and didn't have cash. Michael was very cool. Told me the places down the street with ATM's and said take your time. He was very trusting and pleasant. Give it a try. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. You might be there for a bit but the wait isn't bad at all. I didn't know these guys at all. Five people came in after me and no one cut in front of me. Didn't strike me as the type of place that lets people cut in front of others. They seemed very honest. I will certainly be back. Super happy with my haircut! read more

Just started going here and glad I did. Michael is the best. Old school haircut. Neck shave with shaving cream. Highly recommend.

Great Local place to go I have using this place for 3 years. Always good and clean hair cut . Mike is awesome

These guys are a great bunch and they will have soccer (real football) on whether a game is on. Enjoy your Italian barber experience.

I wish i could give Michael's salon 500 stars. That is how much I love this place. You know how people always say "back in the old days" or " I wish I had a good old barber shop with a cut and a shave"? Well this shop fits that. It is a neighborhood barber shop that has customers from all over. My family frequents this place and I have been there on plenty of occasions where my brother, father or cousin were in the chair next to me getting a cut also. Old School Italian barbers, soccer playing on the tv, great conversation and a great experience. That is always worth my money. I usually spend $20 on a good cut here and if I throw in a shave it is $40. Those are both with tip. I almost forgot to mention that I took my entire wedding party, even some of the guys just attending the wedding, and we all got shaves and cuts here. read more

Was looking for a barber that could do a good beard trim as well. My wait wasn't long and they were respectful of my time and preferences. I would recommend these guys. read more

Fantastic place. I drive 30 minutes to get my haircut there (well worth it). My experience with Michael (owner) and Robert has been always positive (my hair is pretty tricky to cut). My go to place for great hair cut. I also love this salon's atmosphere and I'm not even Italian:) read more

Let me start off by saying I got a good haircut. That being said, it was the slowest darn haircut ever. Like watching grass grow. Snip snip snip, one little hair at a time. I think by the time the barber had worked his way all around my head, one little snip at a time, my hair had grown so that it was time to start 'round again. If you have all day to kill, this is the place for you. read more

The best haircut in Chicago. Michael stayed open an extra hour after I called him and said I wouldn't make it on time. Old school Italian barber that I drive from Lincoln Park to. Also does the best beard trim with foam and a straight blade. Will be coming back since my girlfriends family lives in Norridge. read more

Michael's is the place to go. He worked me in within 30 min and in another 20 had me all freshened up. I told him I wanted just a trim and to try and leave a little on as I'm growing it out. I even made it harder for him by wearing a hat all day. He figured out the cut and even gave me an idea of what I will ask for in the future. I travel a lot for work so I often have to get a cut on the road. Will be going back to Michael next time I'm in Chicago. Highly recommend! read more

If you want a real Italian barber experience Michaels makes you feel really at home! The place next-door has fresh espresso, and the guys take their time and do a quality job! Been looking for a straight edge shave in the city for a while, nothing gets closer than the careful attentive and trained barber. Next time im in the area!! read more

I have been getting my hair cut here for the last 2 or 3 years. In that time, I can't recall an instance where I left unsatisfied with how I look. I have tried other shops in the area but I keep coming back here because of the consistency. I have had my hair cut by all 3 barbers working here, and it's always been a pleasant experience. They don't force conversation on you, which is great because I'm a quiet guy, but if you do like to talk they are happy to oblige. If you are unsure of how you want your hair done, they are good at giving sensible suggestions. I get the feeling that they genuinely care about making you look good. This place is cash-only with no ATM on site, but if you happen to show up without cash they will kindly point you to the nearest bank or gas station with an ATM. Really, the only bad thing I can say about this place is that it can be a bit crowded at times. read more

This place is awesome. I went for the first time last week and I already know that Michael is my barber going forward. Traditional barbershop feel with some European football on the TV and classic tunes. Got a great haircut and beard trim, and Michael even threw in some beard oil for no extra charge! Couldn't recommend more highly. read more

I just received my first haircut from Michael, and I could not be happier. He was polite and professional and the shop was clean and comfortable. Best of all, I got a great haircut and was able to support a small business! From now on, this is my go-to barber shop! read more

Went to Michael's this week as i was in chicago for bsiness and needed to be cleaned up before my meeting. All i can say is "magnifico" A great cut and neck shave in a great old school "real" barbershop. I havent had a great italian haircut sonce my best friends dad used to give me great scissor cuts growing up and he cut hair until he was 93! Michael is a master with the scissors, mix that with the great atmosphere and you feel like you a part of the family. I will plan my trips around my schedule for haircuts to be in Chicago!! read more

Owner reached out and offered a free haircut. Not interested, but a kind gesture that's noted.

I visited this place a couple times and l like the service. Michael is a very professional and polite person. Interesting discussions. Would recommend this place to my friends read more

I've been to Michael's twice. I've had two great haircuts. If you're looking for a new place to get a haircut come here. It's a great place.

Excellent! 5 Stars! Highly Recommended! Michael is a gentleman and a great barber! Best old fashioned hot towel razor shave on the Northwest side. read more

I relocated to the area 2 years ago and needed a new barber. Great prices, skilled, and friendly! I ask Michael to do something different with my hair on occasion and he executes it very well. Old school place, I like it a lot. One day, I'm going to get the shave! read more

these guys are professional barbers!! they did an amazing job. it is pretty hard to find this quality

Old school Italian barber shop. Straight razor line up at the end. These dudes can cut hair. Cash only. You're welcome.

Entertaining barbers that know how to cut men's hair.. It's a throwback as far as how barbershops use to be..

Clean, comfortable, friendly barber shop. Only 3 barbers working so appointment probably recommend, although I walked in and was being taken care of 25 min later. Very satisfied with results. Cash only, I was unaware and had to go to the nearest atm, Mike was very cool and trusted me to return which I did. read more

I was in Rosemont on business travel and needed a haircut before my week of activities. I called salons around the hotel, and none had availability for a men's haircut. Then I found Michael's. Michael cut my hair personally and gave such attention to the detail of my cut I felt like a VIP. I loved the Italian bickering going on around me too. It added greatly to the ambience. Hands down the best haircut I've ever received! I wish I could find a place this good in Phoenix. read more

I brought my elderly father here for the first time to get a hair cut. There were two barbers working and each had a client in the chair. My father was next. We waited about a half hour and the barber with the chair closest to the door took him. I was under the impression this was the owner. He gave my father a basic trim of the sides and back. It took about 20 minutes. No other service was provided. I didn't notice until we were out in the car that the left side was jagged, like an inverted stair case. The right side was rounded around the ear. I wanted to take my father back inside to have it fixed but he didn't want to go back. The barber already had another man in the chair and my father was hungry and didn't want to wait. He said he wouldn't go back to that barber again. read more

I decided to try this place because I needed a fast last minute haircut. The reviews on yelp were all very high so I figured I couldn't go wrong. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly man, with limited English, who I'm guessing was Mike? He smiled and welcomed me to have a seat. The wait for my turn was very short. I sat down and he asked how I wanted my hair cut. I told him and he quickly got to work. He seemed distracted as he was frequently looking up at the television or looking out the window. Had my hair been perfect, the distracted barber would not have been a big deal. Unfortunately, when I got home I realized my hair was not perfect. My hair was cut unevenly on top. The hair on the left side of my head was about a half inch longer than the hair on the right side. When your hair is only about two inches long that is a huge difference. My sideburns were cut unevenly and one was cut on an angle. I was able to fix this at home but I shouldn't have to fix my hair on the day it was cut by a "professional." I've also found random spots with a long hair or two that he missed. The cost, $17, is a bit on the high side in my opinion for a men's haircut. My normal place charges $15 for a cut and shampoo and they don't screw up my hair. These guys both seemed very nice so I'm a bit disappointed I won't be able to return. read more

Got a cut n shave as a first timer. great job, clean place, good prices. What more do you need?
