Best haircuts ever, seriously very nice people offering complimentary drinks aswell, they cut fast and really precise and accurate to what you ask for read more

Yesterday I had my hair cut here. I explained to the barber that I wanted my hair long in the back and the sides long enough to brush backwards. He shook his head that he understood then he proceeded to give me the haircut that he wanted to...short everywhere and sticking out like a porcupine on the sides. For this I spent $50 including the tip... Now I have to wear a stocking cap for the next 6 months to cover my head! read more

I made an appointment at 9:30 am to get a haircut with FREDDY. I I waited over 1 hour and he never showed up. For month's I always have to wait for my appointments. Never going back. read more

UPDATE: After our one terrible experience, the manager reached out and wanted to make things right. The owner, Freddy, offered to fix my son's hair. So we went back with a hint of trepidation, but everyone was so kind. Freddy took the time to talk to my son, he looked at the picture and asked questions to make sure everyone was on the same page. He did the best he could to clean up the cut, and my son left with a genuine smile. Luckily, hair grows quickly. The gist of my original review was that my son asked for something very specific (and attainable for his hair length and texture) and left with the worst haircut he's ever had in his life. The barber was slow, and not only was it not what he wanted, it wasn't even a good cut. It was choppy in all the wrong places. HOWEVER, all of our other visits have been perfectly fine. We were just unlucky that day, I guess. I really appreciate how the management went above and beyond to try to make up for the bad experience. read more

Best haircut my husband has ever gotten! Highly recommend. Love that you can book appointments online. The shop has a very cool vibe. Great location in the Hubbard Woods downtown. read more

Friendly neighborhood barbershop. The fades are fire but what will keep you coming back for more is the conversation and stories. Highly recommend Freddy and his crew! read more

Freddy is awesome!! I was in the Chicago area recently and my son needed a haircut. I heard Freddy was the guy to see so we headed over for a cut. He was amazing and took his time to cut my son's hair to his request. Everyone we interacted with at the barber shop were professional and friendly. The shop was clean and well-kept with plenty of street parking. I now know why North Short Barber Shop is such highly rated on Yelp. I'm happy to add a 5-star review here! Thanks Freddy for the great haircut for my son! read more

Shaby was an amazing barber and did an amazing job. Extremely nice place. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent service and haircut. The best part was that they are great humans. My son went in for a full shave of his head after his last chemo treatment and the insisted on no charge. read more

Been coming here for a long time Mike is a great barber and a good owner but his staff is something to be desired. I made an appointment with Mike two weeks ago so I came in to find out. Mike is on vacation and the guy is like oh well Horrible people to do business read more

My very picky son got his haircut with Victor today and declared it was the best haircut he's ever gotten! Thank you Victor!

I rarely write reviews but they were so, so, incredibly wonderful and patient with my very-hard-to-please son today, I can't say enough good things. They really care about making their customers happy, and they truly went above and beyond with my (picky!) son today. We will always come back! read more

I highly recommend this barbershop. Freddy in particular gives a great cut, for a great price.

Ive been a big fan of this shop for a while now. the owner Freddy keeps it very clean and is also a great barbet. Jon also gives go haircuts when Freddy is not available. can't wait for my son to come here. read more

Thanks @angela for your review. I'm so glad there's a barber shop in Winnetka! The place looks awesome (refer to pix). The decor is really neat. My son was happy to see gold clippers. The littlest things amuse him. They use really good products (I.e., Crew) Everyone who works there was really nice. They definitely take their time in cutting your hair. I saw some guys getting their hair cut and it was like they were in a relaxing salon. Thanks Freddy & your staff for cleaning up the mess I made on my son before family portraits. I'd recommend making an appointment as people were coming in and the phone was off the hook! read more

Shaiby does a great job! These guys give great service at an affordable price. Highly recommend.

Excellent atmosphere, Friendly and professional staff. Josh cut my hair perfectly today - 10/10.

Very good experience, people are so sensitive, it's a damn barber shop and it could get busy . Come in and shut your mouth and wait . I have nothing bad to say about this place it's amazing , all the guys know what they are doing . Especially Shabbie ! One of the best read more

Just got a great style by Eric! Always a great experience at North Shore Barber Shop! read more

As someone whose lived all across the country, I'll admit that the northshore isn't the easiest place to find a decent place for a fade. This place is perfectly fine if you're in need of a haircut and looking for a clean shop with nice barbers. The quality of the haircut, however, leaves a lot to be desired. It's a step up from a Super Cuts but not by much. I've tried two of their locations in the northshore and I've had a similar experiences at both. I'm sure they would be perfectly fine if you're looking for a different type of haircut.. read more

Don't attempt to make an appointment and have it be even remotely correct. Everything is paper and pencil, 50% of my appointments were at the wrong time, 20 minutes delayed, or otherwise messed up. Go elsewhere. read more

Best haircuts of my life. Maybe a little pricier than some barbers but well worth it to me. read more

Mike K, you are my hero! My hubby was in need of a shorter cut, and Freddie (Freddy?) came to the rescue. My hubby has a stylist he loves and has been going to for years, but she has an injury and is taking a break from cutting at the moment. My hubby recently had a longer cut (that looked great), but he decided he wanted to go shorter, and he was in a bit of a time crunch. Mike K's review came up, and as a result we made an appointment. My hubby looks fantastic! This Barber Shop is a breathe of fresh air for the community. We had a 5pm appointment, and during the time we were there, there was a future walk-in who popped in to see what was up, another walk-in came and waited while my hubby was getting cut, and another guy had an appointment. Everyone loves Freddie! My hubby was nervous to try a new style, but I dragged him in there like a child and made sure he got in that chair. Freddie got right to work, after listening to the kind of cut my hubby was after. The transformation is cool and business all at the same time. The shop is warm and inviting, the music was calming (so calm the guy waiting next to me fell asleep and was snoring), and the vibe was hip and confident. Very reasonable. $25 for a cut ($20 for seniors). Lots of other services. Take Note: Word has it that hip kiddos are getting their cuts at North Shore Barber Shop. read more

This is by far my favorite barbershops. I followed the owner from his last place when he opened up North Shore Barber Shop. I tell everyone ik to go there. The place is so warm and welcoming. From the lighting to the refreshments. Besides how amazing the place looks. The barbers are the best! I have never had such a good haircut. Every time I go it's on point! And included in the haircut is a free neck shave within a couple weeks. If you're not going to North Shore Barber Shop you're missing out. read more

Tried them out for the first time this week. Got a great men's cut, just what I needed after putting it off for too long! He took his time with careful attention to detail. My hair can be challenging, but it was like he knew it well. My wife was impressed! And the cost was reasonable. read more

Great vibe and quality cut. Was glad they could accommodate me on a walk-in basis. Will be coming back.

Availability was excellent. Atmosphere is very welcoming for customers as soon as you walk in. One of their barbers, Many, gave me the best haircut I have received with high quality cuts and detailed edging around hairline. I highly recommend this establishment and even though there are shops closer to home, I will definitely be returning as a regular to this barbershop. Keep up the excellent work!! read more

Phenomenal haircut by Eric provided excellent taper short requested . Would highly reccomend and coming back again

I Have been going to Freddy for about almost 3 years now. He and his Staff are great Barbers. The places are clean and nice. I now go to his Northbrook location and I like it. It is in a shopping center with a great restaurant. This new Barber in Freddy's shop is named Sam and he is an excellent barber just as all of Freddy's Barbers are. You can go to any of his shops and get a great Haircut and style. Try out the new shop in Northbrook and ask for Sam. You will get a great hair cut or style. It is great to have shops like these for great haircuts. I am including my previous review as well. I have used the same barber since 1987 but he retired this year. I found Freddy through Yelp. He a true barber and a great master of his craft. He actually cuts my hair better than my old barber at the end of his career. I was worried that I could not find a new barber as good as my old one. They use Jack Daniels looking squirt bottles, and the chairs are very comfortable and it looks like a barber shop should. There is only on street parking but on Wed afternoon I did not have a problem. For me Freddy gives you what you want quite well. I asked for an Old Time business haircut and it was absolutely perfect. For a great haircut and a chance to talk to a very nice guy go see Freddy. To borrow from other reviews: Go try it out for yourself and have one of the best haircuts you will ever have. Freddy, the Barber there, is absolutely amazing. This was one of the best haircuts of my life. Service was beyond exceptional and the quality was amazing. He gave better service than any other haircut place not to mention he's quick and friendly. If you need a haircut, go read more

Not cheap but well worth the expense. Treat yourself to a cut & shave. You won't regret it!

If I could give him 0 stars i would. I got a haircut from freddy and he did horrible. Complete opposite of what i told him to. Never going here again. Don't waste ur money. He will mess up your hair. read more

Was happy to see a local barber shop just opened up. Last time I looked for one was in the spring and did not realize that this new location had opened since then. The service was very good. High quality cut and done in a timely manner. Ambiance is great - very manly. Coffee available. Some salon products. Friendly staff too. I called ahead but I'm not sure it would have bumped me ahead of those waiting if it was busier. The wait was about five minutes around noon on a Saturday. Will be returning. read more

Moved to the North Shore about 7 months ago and haven't had success in finding a stylist I trust. So gave North Shore Barber Shop a try. WOW! First of all, the atmosphere is super cool. The staff is also very friendly. Only waited a few minutes before I sat in the chair. Ali was my barber. Hands down the best haircut I've ever had. He took his time, provided suggestions, and gave advice on daily hair care. Super friendly too! As long as I stay here in North Chicagoland, this place has earned my business. Thank you again! read more

Needed a good shave and was looking for a good barber shop. There's nothing like this place in the area. Clean, modern but still with an old school vibe. Not only was the shave done perfectly well but Freddy was funny and took his time. Highly recommended!! read more

My son just hit the age where he cares about his hair. He also has a collic. We were visiting from out of town, got a same day appt. This place is hip, professional and fabulous. Highly recommend. Everyone was masked, we felt safe and the end product was perfect. read more

I came in asking for the guy to clean up the back of my hair, and trim the rest, and bro straight up gave me a young sheldon cut. I don't even know how that happened. I gave him directions and he couldn't even follow them. The reason why I'm giving this 2 stars is because when I have a barber that listens to me, the cut is good, the vibe and quailty is also good. It's just I don't know what happened with listening to the customer and giving them the cut they asked for. read more
