Went for the first time recently and was very pleased with the service and availability of appointment. Will continue to visit read more

Just good old fashioned barber shop with excellent friendly barbers-Nick and Mike. No appointments but just call early in the day.

No matter who you get, Nick or Mikey, you get an excellent barber. I can't say enough about the haircut you get here. Just like the old days you can talk about pretty much any subject and have fun doing it. Sports is of a particular fun time. Make sure you call to reserve a time slot. read more

I have been going to this shop now for at least 2yrs and would recommend any of the barbers that work there. As I have had both of them cut my hair and enjoyed the dialogue. Check them out and you will not be disappointed. read more

Nick's Barber Shop - New Pricing! - Barbers Near Me - Fox River Grove, Illinois

Best damn barbershop around! Nick's a second generation barber (or more perhaps, I only know of his pop being one) and Brendan is my go to guy for all my hair and beard cutting and trimming respectively. A wonderful environment, great camaraderie amongst patrons and just the perfect classic barbershop. Bobby next door at Armanetti's is a hoot too and after a great cut, drop in to Bobby's for a bottle of wine, scotch or whatever suits your adult pallet. My former barber in Barrington passed away-many knew Phil from the Hometown Barbershop in Barrington, I'd just sit in the chair and Phil went to town knowing exactly what to do-no need to tell him what to do. Brendan knows how to cut my mop and also how my wife likes it cut too! Rock on and keep the peace bros! Don't miss this joint! read more

I've taken my 12 year old son, Charles, there twice and both times I was very impressed with the professional haircut he received. The atmosphere is catered to boys and my son loves how the barbers treat him like "one of the guys." He said he never wants to get his hair cut anywhere else. read more

Very great barbershop. Nick and the staff have been cutting my hair for years and I enjoy going there. The banter is fun. Since getting a third chair in the shop the waits are not as long. He runs an honest business. Lastly, I try to pay him in $2 bills. If you're reading this, please stop at a bank and get them $2 bills to pay with. I couldn't recommend them higher. read more

Look no further. Nice people. Great cut. Good prices. Call 847-707-1297 and get on the schedule. You'll be happy you did!...Mike

Love this place and so do my boys. 2 great guys doing the chop - you wont be disappointed, and I can stop next door and grab a Tetleys for the ride home! Why did I not make the switch years ago! read more

Meh - typical old school barbershop that knows how to cut your hair in flat tops and fades. The barbers can't handle any variation and whine little kids if you ask them to do anything that is 'cosmetology school' related. I'm thinking they are trained via locker rooms and friends. When I was in there, there was a fussy kid in there and they also were whining about they can't handle the noise and how he was moving around too much. Man up! Maybe because I have kids it doesn't bother me but geez they were whiny. read more

By far the most talented barber shop around. Both these guys are extremely skilled and can give you any style you're looking for. Nick is hands down the nicest guy I've had the pleasure of sitting with - very easy to talk to and really improves the overall experience. I'd highly recommend going out of your way to check these guys out. read more

GREAT, GREAT barbershop. It's a "barbershop" and not your run of the mill Great Clips, Sports Cuts, etc. Nick is keeping alive a dying art form of being a real barber that was trained and knows how to cut all types of hair. Once you become a regular, he knows exactly what kind of haircut you want and all the trouble spots on your head. He now has two other barbers as well, so the wait is much shorter and they turn over customers quickly, but not rushing to give you a bad product. You will quickly become a regular here. I have been coming since he opened and will not go anywhere else. read more

Nick has been great for my boys over the past couple years. They range in length too. All come back looking great. I used to go to Sorrentinos when I lived in Arlington Heights. And that team is amazing. But I haven't noticed a drop in quality since bringing my boys to Nick's. And this includes his teammate Brandon(?). We're not ones to sit and wait for a particular barber, but haven't noticed a problem yet. I made the mistake of going to Sportsclips once and if you're looking for a 3-star cut head there. For 5-stars, Nick's is where you want to be. read more

After suffering through years of "meh" discount chain salon haircuts and the last straw of an especially unfortunate haircut at a chain hair salon in another nearby town a few months ago, I finally brought my teenage son to Nick's for a "real" haircut. Brandon did a great job of fixing the bad haircut and giving my son an actual modern hairstyle that he has gotten many compliments on. My son loves this place and Nick's has found a new devoted client in my son. read more

5 stars for Nick, 1 for Brandon. He didn't listen to what I wanted for my beard and had nothing to say when I said "That looks ridiculous!". It seems that I am not the only person of this opinion so you may have a long wait for Nick. read more

I found my new neighborhood barber! I just moved back into the area and I've tried a few places out. They were all ok but all outrageously expensive for a haircut in the burbs. Nick's is a straightforward place to get a good haircut at a fair price. He did a great job on my parted fade! Honestly, I have no complaints. To make things better Nick is a really cool guy. His ability to care a conversation while providing excellent customer service is something out of a barbershop movie. Definitely give this place a shot. read more

These guys are great. Good old fashioned barber shop. Fair prices and good cuts. Nothing fancy, just what you'd expect. read more

Great barber shop! We came in from Texas to visit family and 2 of my boys needed haircuts before a memorial service. Couldn't be happier with the haircuts or service. read more

Been here numerous times. Great service, great haircut, great value. Wish Fox River Grove was closer to home because I'd come here every time I needed a cut. read more

Awesome shop. Nick is terrific and makes you feel very welcome. Contagious laugh and really cares about what he does. His cuts are consistent and high quality. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are so cool. Last week we stopped in to get both my husband and son a cut. I want to be up front, this is not a hair salon but a real barber shop. My son had long hair and lots of it and they clipped it and trimmed it so precisely. My son has a styled cut that requires product. The barber explained it to my son what to use and where to buy it as they do not carry the products. My husband was so happy to see they used a straight razor a hot lather. I think it's rather cool. I'm glad there are younger people taking pride in a trade and thriving in it. Needless to say, my guys are happy and will coming back. read more

Great place for a haircut (more for men and boys). Nick and Brandon like people, like sports and like cutting hair. They like to talk, which gives a very welcoming atmosphere. The hair is trimmed with attention to every detail. Neck is nicely shaved with warm foam lather and finished off with a well scented clubman after shave. Reminds me of the men's barbershops of old on television, with a Chicago sports theme. Try to go on non busy hours so there is no wait. These guys take their time to do it right. Highly recommend. read more

I've been there twice now and both haircuts were a home run! Nick & Brandon both are highly quality barbers, good conversation, easy walk in with hardly any wait and ultimately a fair price. I'm very happy this barber shop is in my hometown! read more

I've been cutting my own hair with hair clippers for so long, even forgot what it's like to visit a barber. Glad I stopped in here. Brandon was a very pleasant fella to chat with and gave me a classic cut, very even, precise lines, great fade. My wife loves it, so I love it. I'll be back, definitely. read more

I went on a search through the northwest suburbs looking for a barber that knew how to cut hair. After 5 different barbers and shops I finally found one. Nicks is the place to go if you want a real barbershop. You can shoot the stuff with the guys or bring your kid in. Nicks a great barber but also a great guy. read more

Who is Tarek D? Apparently this person is the "whiny" one. It's not a children's hair cut place with toys and cartoons. Nor is it a salon where they give you a perm, etc. it's right in the sign and they do an outstanding job of it! They are a barbershop and a damn good one! I can't wait u too my son is old enough to sit still as I know what my child can and cannot handle. It's up to us parents to control our children, not release them on others like wild animals and expect them to "deal with it". read more

Sorry to give this nice guy a bad review and I never bother reviewing normally. But, Nick is very obviously not experienced enough to be a one man barber shop. He might be OK with straight shaves or VERY short hair cuts but don't bother if you need a real cut. He's very slow (lack of experience) and gave my kids the worst haircuts I have EVER seen. They were so horribly uneven and sloppy. I considered giving him a second chance since he went on and on about how uneven their previous person cut them. I thought, OK, let's see if he says it the next time about his own cut. Thinking it through, I won't bother because I don't have another 40 bucks to throw away. I hope his business can grow but without actual stylists there, he doesn't stand a chance. read more

Excellent experience overall! Both guys working (Nick and another) were so friendly and fun. A great job done on my son's hair, a reasonable price too. We'll be back! read more

I have been looking for a new barber since I moved back to the area. This is my new spot. Both my son (2 and a half) and I desperately needed cuts. Brenden not only gave a great cut, but was phenomenal and patient w my son. As long as I live in the area, Nick and Brendon have my business. read more

Hard pressing your customers for a great review on their 1st time in was reason alone to feel uncomfortable enough to not go back. Sorry...I don't like pressure. read more

Nick is a personable young man who is working hard to start his own business. He's easy to talk to while you're sitting in the chair, and he will give you a great haircut. read more

I have been to a million different chains of hair cut places, and I never get good hair cuts. Its always uneven, cut too short, and I'm never really happy with my cuts. Nick is a real nice guy, takes his time and does it right. Its by far the best haircut I've gotten in a very very long time. I highly recommend his shop for a great haircut. I'll be back from now on. read more
