My 11yo is autistic and also has a movement disorder, so he often has a hard time sitting for haircuts. Leo has a very calm energy and my kiddo could not be happier when he's in his chair! Plus he does great work. My boyfriend who has never really had a barbershop cut done also goes to him now (cut, fade, and beard cut and lining). The vibe in the shop is great and they are very professional. Highly recommend this location and Leo in particular. Always pleased with their hair!!

1287 West Spring Street South Elgin…read more My boy was growing wild and free, Hair like he just climbed a tree. So I booked a place with glowing praise, Five bright stars and polished ways. It wasn't far, we had the time, But something felt a little off inside. We called to say we're on our way -- The voice went cold, like "Whatever, it's okay." He looked at me and softly said, "Mama... that's a warning right there ahead." Five stars on a screen don't mean a thing When your heart don't like the way it rings. You can follow the crowd or follow the sign, But your body knows before your mind. We sat there quiet, tried to be polite, Ignoring that red flashing light. Now we know what we should've known -- Trust that feeling in your bones. He sat down straight, face like stone, I felt the chill down to my bones. The barber's cap pulled low and tight, Phone in his hand most of the time. I swear I thought -- and maybe I'm wrong -- He's watching how-to videos while cutting along. The scissors moved but something's strange, Left and right weren't playing the same. Five stars on a screen don't mean a thing When your heart don't like the way it rings. We paid the bill, walked out the door, Knew we wouldn't come back no more. Sometimes lessons cost you fifty bucks, And a crooked cut that kinda sucks. But wisdom grows on roads back home -- When you trust that feeling in your bones. Bridge (, ) All the way back we talked it through, About the things we somehow knew. How we lean on what people say, Instead of what we feel that day. Five stars fade but truth don't lie, It lives inside, it never hides. Next time we won't override That quiet voice we push aside. 'Cause life is more than playing along -- It's knowing when something feels wrong

TL;DR: Stanley is an excellent friendly neighborhood barber who takes pride in what he does…read more Details: Central Barber is a decades-long-running Elgin establishment that has now passed into the hands of Stanley. When you walk in you'll notice it's a small space, literally a 1-chair, 1-man show, but the space is clean and bright. Maybe even before that though you'll already have been warmly greeted by Stanley. Stanley is a true professional in the business who has been in it for decades now, loves what he does, and prides himself in it. And you'll figure that out because he'll tell you directly, i.e. this isn't a transactional "insert money, receive haircut". This is the full friendly neighborhood barber experience who is trying to be a positive influence in his community, briefly greeting any and just about every passerby. It means the haircut may take a bit longer, but the positive vibes are undeniable. Oh, and of course he is meticulous and methodical with his cuts. I'd endured a couple of average cuts, but Stanley really took the time to understand what I was looking for and gave me an excellent cut. Overall, I'm happy to have met Stanley and given him my business, and I look forward to a future visit with another good cut and positive vibes. P.S. The phone number listed here on Yelp is Jerry's (the previous owner's) #, not Stanley's. Stanley's # (as posted on the store window) is 7792030667; he's very responsive when texted.

Got a skin fade and a light trim off the top, great conversation the whole time and exactly the cut I wanted. Walk in only, cash only, three chairs. Brad works alone Mondays and Tuesdays, and has two other barbers on other days. They're open early on Saturday mornings, (7am-2pm) which is cool for those who need to knock out the haircut chore early on the weekend. I'll definitely be making Brad my regular barber.
