    Funk's Barbershop, downtown Chicago…read more Back in town for New Year's. Same trip my wife and I make every year. Same city that feels like an old friend. I needed a quick cleanup on the beard. 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!

You can tell real attention goes into the details, and the level of skill shows in the final result. The shop itself has a great energy: relaxed, professional, and easy to feel comfortable in while you're there. Everything about the experience felt smooth and well handled, which made the visit even better. Walking out, I felt refreshed and confident with how everything turned out. Definitely one of the best haircut experiences I've had, and it's a spot I'll gladly return to again.

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.​​

    In general, I liked my experience at this barber shop. The place is small but nicely decorated and…read morewas very clean on the day of my visit. I appreciated the convenience of being able to book an appointment online, which was very straightforward. The barber shop's Website shows all available barbers, their available times, and their prices for services. I randomly chose Angel for my haircut and beard trim because he was the only barber available that day. His service for the haircut + beard sculpting was $60. I arrived at the salon on time, but he took me with an eight-minute delay as he needed to clean the area after his previous customer. All the barber equipment in the salon was modern and in perfect condition, by the way. They use high-quality amenities like shaving cream, aftershave, hair gel, etc. I enjoyed my conversation with Angel during the service; he seemed like a very nice guy. His skills were good, and I appreciated his attention to detail as he tried to make my haircut as nice as possible. However, the process took longer than expected. The booking indicated that his service would take 1 h and 30 min, which I didn't pay much attention to, as most barbers usually take only 40-50 minutes for a similar service. Angel ended up taking a little more than 1 hour and 30 minutes, and by the end, another customer was already waiting, which caused him to rush to finish my service. Before starting, I showed him a photo of the hairstyle I wanted. Unfortunately, I didn't get the exact result, but his work was close. He did a good job with my beard, although there was an issue with making a straight line along my neck. I had to guide him on which areas needed fixing to make the line as straight as possible. The final result with my beard was also not exactly like the picture I showed, but it was close enough. As mentioned earlier, I paid $60 for everything. Was my experience worth this amount? Probably not. I find this price to be overpriced compared to many other barber shops I have visited in the USA and Europe. However, I still recommend Urban Hair and specifically Angel for a visit. We all strive to improve, and I believe that Angel is already doing very well and will only get better with time.
