    I swung by this place after walking by it a few times and due to wanting to go to a proper barber and not a chain salon. All together this place was fantastic. Vibe is great and Jared did an awesome job giving me my standard buzz cut while also making sure everything else was taken care of. The only note I would have, especially for new folks such as I, is that the place is primarily cash and Venmo only so just make sure you have cash on you if you're swinging by.

    My haircut

    I always go here just to see Rachael Z. She has been cutting my hair now for years. She is easy to talk to and really takes an interest in what is going on in your life. She makes booking easy too with clients she works with a lot she will let you text her directly. She always does a fantastic job cutting my hair and I always get comments about how nice it looks. I just went to a friends wedding and looked great for photos. I'm glad to have her as a friend now and a person I can always rely on to make me look my best.

    This cute little barbershop opened a few weeks ago in my neighborhood of Ravenswood. Was a little nervous because my hair is kinky and textured and not everyone can cut it properly. I was beyond impressed when the barber on duty (Jared I think) was able to square me up in just about 15 mins. My cut was crisp, clean, and I'm pretty sure he was able to fix my crooked hairline from a botched haircut a few months ago. A few of my neighbors with different hair textures have been since then and were also equally impressed by the versatility and skill of the barbers. Highly recommend. It's been two weeks and I'm still getting compliments on my cut.

    Great new style!

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.

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!

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.​​
