I've been used to going to Great Clips my entire life... I am in my late 20's and I have finally figured it was time to actually find a barber to keep coming back to instead of a different person unfamiliar with my head every time. I also have thick hair that sticks straight out and is never subdued quite right there. So I wanted someone with a substantial amount of experience as well.
Simply put, I think it will be the best choice you could make to be a patron of John Zurek. The moment I walked in the door, he addressed me by name and I was impressed with his setup of vintage barber's tools and Chicago Cubs memorabilia.
It is so easy to converse and if a relationship with your barber is what you'd like after roaming the various generic cutting salons, your search will conclude here. He understands what you want your hair to look like and after 38 years of experience his cutting is superb - no missed tufts and no wingtips sticking out! I have not had a cut this smooth in my entire life.
You know what else I've never had done? Having the excess hair vacuumed off of me - I had always gone home itchy and not even getting to enjoy the fresh cut for the day without washing it all out. He cares greatly about you being able to comfortably take the experience with you and doesn't leave the mess all over you.
Overall, I was floored by his blend of professionalism and personalism at the same time! He greatly enjoys your company walking into his shop and takes great pride in his craft. I recommend to the highest degree. read more
