I've had my haircut at a few different places and they all pale in comparison to the quality of this shop. Doug is my barber but I have had my hair cut by everyone and have never had a bad haircut. Everyone has been professional, friendly, the shop is clean, and they go above and beyond with all their services. The shop is cash only and you need to reserve a spot online with their Resuva booking tool. I've been to a few spots in Chicago and I could tell the barbers here were much better than anywhere I've been for the same price. In the 9 years I've been here, I also haven't seen a barber leave, which speaks to the dedication of these guys to create an atmosphere that's welcoming and keeps customers coming back to them. By far the best shop in Chicago!

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!

This review has been a long time coming…read more Let me just say that when you move from one state into another every year, it is very difficult to find a barber/stylist that you can trust and it is equally difficult to let go of them when you know your time is up. Finding this place when I first moved into Chicago was God-send. If you're like me, a very particular person about your hair, you can imagine the anxiety having to first read multiple reviews on many places just to make sure you are even comfortable going to a place to begin with - and that's only half the battle. The other half is choosing someone when you book an appointment. You cannot go wrong with Van Buren! My first time going there was a little intimidating- for a good reason. I'm a pretty simple guy, not used to having a complementary beer/whiskey/coffee or any other beverage while I wait for my haircut or having a shoe shine before a haircut. But, having said that, this place will make sure you do get used to it! On my first appointment, I was welcomed by a very cheerful and friendly front desk. Arriving about 15 minutes early was good to help me settle in to relax and have a drink. The space was clean and they had really comfortable chairs to sit on while I waited. I was lucky to have Ania randomly chosen as my hairstylist on my first appointment. She took about 5-10 minutes before we started to get to know me, ask my preferences and gave good suggestions. During the cut, she would often show me the results and ask if I was okay with the length etc. She's a very talented and receptive stylist! After the first cut, I was super happy and impressed, and suddenly the anxiety of finding a stylist was gone. I decided to sign with the 1 year membership that day and it was the best decision by far considering the amount of times I go for a cut and for the ease of setting up appointments. Every visit was consistent with quality in a haircut, and additionally when I wanted to change things up with a style, she was able to do it. You will find that as a regular customer, you will not only have a hairstylist, but a good friend in the end - someone who you can be comfortable talking to during the cut about anything in life and an honest person who really has makes sure you look the very best everytime you go in for a cut. Making an appointment and changing appointments are for the most part very flexible. Another point to make is that I have a busy work schedule, and I have always started on time and either ended early or on the dot! On a couple occasions, Ania was not available due to vacations, but that was fine, since someone else amongst the talented group of stylists can cut your hair too. I had wonderful experiences with other stylists when she was gone. But, if you're like me, you stay loyal to your hairstylist when he/she is back! As a longstanding customer, everyone knows you, even the owner Nora, who really does her best to take care of you whenever she is around to help the front desk. Customer service is above and beyond and you end up feeling like part of their family in the end. I went for about 1.5 years, and unfortunately I no longer go since I've relocated to a new state. This place made a huge impression on me and I often find myself trying to find something similar in NYC/Manhattan, but Van Buren Gentlemen's Salon definitely takes the cake out of all places I've lived in (native Californian, lived in Los Angelos, San Francisco, Sacramento, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, NYC/Brooklyn, Washington D.C. and other large urban cities). If ever in town, I know where I'll be going to if I need a good haircut. Try the place out, see if you would like to stick with a membership! I have a feeling you will. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! 5 STARS!

Unfortunately I can not recommend this business. I committed to a quarterly member at $350, so…read more$1400 a year plus tips for a weekly beard trimmer and hair cut. The stylist was fantastic. 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.​​

Please, if a barber isn't familiar with a certain style, have them say so! It's okay and I'd rather them be honest than try and fail. My barber was quite kind and a real nice guy. I don't want him to get in trouble, I just encourage people to be honest on what they can and cant do. I asked for 1.5 off the top with a side fade and lineup. Picture provided of what I wanted versus what I got. They had forgotten to take a large patch of hair off under my chin during the shave as well. Maybe they were tired? The lineup isn't clean, and the fade wasn't done correctly unfortunately. There's a strange patch of hair suddenly missing as well from the rest of my head and it looks messy. Either way, this is pretty rough and I'm stuck with it for a while.
