If you're looking for a barber, this is the place to go. Been coming here for a few months now…read more Jason has some magical hands. He doesn't just give you a cut that looks good the day you leave the shop he actually takes the time to consult with you and think about how your hair will grow out so it still looks great weeks later. I've got a weirdass head shape and all, but he somehow always works his magic. No joke, these cuts have been the best I've had. Vibes are chill and at this point I show up and sit in that chair with full trust for him to do his thing. Highly recommend!

People's has a user friendly reservation system where you can pay ahead of time or when you get there. Barbers prefer cash tip but they all have Venmo handles to make it convenient. Once you arrive someone greets you and asks if you have an appointment or walk-in, then offers you complimentary water, coffee, tea, beer or bourbon! Nice touch! The place itself is a vibe and satisfies my taste for an aesthetically pleasing environment. It is a rustic but modern industrial look with exposed brick, restored woods and vintage refurbished barber chairs! I made reservations with Cristian and he's an artist with his craft and cut my hair better than I expected. I asked for a trim up top to get the hair out of my eyes with a blended taper and he crushed it. He finished off my cut by styling it with Kevin Murphy bedroom hair and the spray held my hair without feeling too heavy and gave it a matte and natural appearance! Very nice! Safe to say I'll be coming back, good job People's!

I do suggest making an appointment as I had to wait but definitely worth it. All the barbers here look like they do a great job specially with tapers, fades, two blocks... etc etc. Heads up; my barber Guilas is the one you should hit up! Another thing to note is he accepts Zelle & Cash, no Venmo! They do have one of those smaller ATMs just incase

Had an amazing haircut and experience here, will definitely be coming back! Lobo was my barber, and…read morehe is such a friendly, energetic individual, but also a professional and master at his craft. He took his time (1hr 15 min) to ensure my cut was perfect (midskin fade, combover on top). I have asian hair, and this was the best cut I have had in many years; I am glad I discovered this place, and will be coming back to Lolo in the future. He also does an amazing hot towel and head massage treatment towards the end; very relaxing and almost fell asleep. They also offer complimentary drinks (sparking water, coffee, whiskey, etc), but was a bit too early for me to partake in any libations. Highly recommend this barbershop, one of the best in the City!

I'm back! I lived in this neighborhood for many years and…read morewalked to People's Barber every month or two for a fresh cut and friendly chat with Irish Paul. It was a ritual I looked forward to, but I took to cutting my own hair during a certain public health crisis, and I did a decent enough job that I never went back to the barber's chair. Now, six years later, I'm preparing for my wedding and decided a real haircut might be in order. Even though I no longer live in the neighborhood, there was no question about it: I would go right back to Irish Paul at Peoples on Polk. He's got six years worth of hatchet job self-barbering to rehabilitate in just a few months, and I can't wait to see the results.

It's a bit out of the way from the rest of the city, but it's worth it. I got wave perms and regular haircuts with him, and he did a great job every time.

I cannot imagine ever going to another barber ever again. There's a reason why he's always booked and busy! Because he's the best barber in the city for any hair style. Every single time I get a haircut from him, I'm always left satisfied, happy, and grateful. His haircut skills are immaculate - his scissoring, his shaving, his styling, his attention to detail. Whether I want a trim or more of a cut, he knows exactly what I want and what to do. And his shop is always sparkly clean and the vibe is wonderful. Thank you Joshua! Looking forward to more fantastic cuts from you :)

There is not a lot of people that I can count on to cut my hair, but if I can name one. IT WOULD BE, MICHAEL BECKHAM! If your in need of a haircut, he is the guy to go to! He keeps it professional and upbeat. Cool conservator, I had lots of life lessons learned here. Not only I come out with good haircut but more knowledgable, motivated and positive. Basically he is someone you can absolutely trust to make your hair looking right! In all, the place is clean and keeps a cool Old School Barbershop vibe.
