John Angileri’s Barber Shop

Rossi old school shave is the best in the business!!! Takes the time to understand you me skin then applies the perfect products to make your face smoother than a baby. He shaved my entire family and the price point is better than anywhere else in the city.

Being big fan of hot towel shaves, I am glad to find this spot. Straight razor shave is a dying craft, now I know where to go in the Loop. Pleasant place, my barber John was very good. Great shave, pleasant service, reasonable prices: I will be back!

This review is directed towards «YOUNG JOHN» who’s one of the barbers. This man is RUDE! Talk about common courtesy. this guy has NONE! I was recommended to go to him, so made an appointment. The day of my haircut, I arrived (5 minutes) because just to find their location took me a good 15 minutes. I called as soon as I was in the area and «young john» rudely tried to guide me how to get there which didn’t go so well because aside from his attitude, his sense of direction was also terrible. When I finally arrived, (5 minutes) after my appnt time, I said I have an appointment with young john… and he pops out his head and says «i dont have time»…REALLY? So if you make an appointment with «YOUNG JOHN» don’t count on it. I was taken by another barber there who did a very poor job. Showed a picture of what I wanted and ended up with something completely different. Detailed EXACTLY what I wanted, but this barber just seemed to have trouble with fading, blending in between shades and pretty much everything else. VERY disappointing ($ 30) experience. Throughout my haircut with the other barber, mr «young john» was sitting in his chair on his phone, until a customer walked in and he took him right away.

These guys have been doing this for a long a** time and it shows. They’re all class… very friendly, flexible schedule-​wise, and really care about the cut you want… not what they’re comfortable with (because they’re comfortable with it all). Good price also: under $ 30 for a cut.

Fantastic service and a great shave. If you like old school barber this is the place to go. I am glad I found this place in a city full of «barber» shops.

Can’t say enough about how much I like this place and the folks who work here.

Just got a shave here — it was an all around fantastic experience. Closest shave I’ve ever gotten, no cuts or nicks, and I even had a couple zits for him to work around :)

great shop. well-​priced. John Fleming does a solid job every time.

Best shave of my life. Smooth from before I even had a beard, no razor burn, great attention to detail. I told John they don’t charge enough, frankly.

Great barbershop… Rosario was very meticulous. He took his time and did a great job. Pure barbershop environment… I will definitely be back.

For the last 4 years, I had haircuts done by John Fleming. He is fantastic. Nice conversations too. Great place, excellent atmosphere, the best haircuts ever. YEP 5 stars!

I visited John while vacationing in Chicago, and he gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve had in ten years. He also gave me some great restaurant tips and a bit of Chicago flavor.
When he initially showed me the haircut I asked for a tweak, and he «got» exactly what I wanted and made it happen. I recommend him.
I walked in without an appointment and he sat me right away. Thanks, John! (I went to Portillo’s. It was incredible. Thank you.)

John gives a great cut. No electric clippers. Straight razor to finish the neck. Perfect location if you work mid-​Loop

Excellent barber shop at a convenient location. I get my haircut from John Fleming and he has done an excellent job each time.
Highly recommend!

Good guys. I get my haircut by John (Jon) and he’s really chill. What I like best is the convenience. I can get there easily from work since it’s right off the blue line and it’s open til 6.
Other places usually close pretty early… or you go to supercuts…

As part of the festivities during a wedding week, my friend, myself and the groom treated ourselves to an old fashioned shave and a haircut. Appointments were easy to get on Saturday morning, the shop had the old school chairs and gear and most importantly, the barbers did not disappoint.
A scissor cut, hot towels, straight razor shave, cold towel and a shoulder rub with an electric vibrator. We had a great time, and our ladies commented that we were glowing! Ahem!
Kudos to John & staff.

Really great place.
I had my hair cut with Joe. He mentoined that this place was there since the 60’s and he has been cutting hair since — so there was no way that he could have messed anything up. Also no clippers — He said that he was never an advocate of clippers. I prefer only scissors as well.
A little old fashioned but thats what I wanted: a trim and neat cut.
Since it was my first experience, I am only giving it 4 stars for now. It also took around 30 mins. so make sure you have at least that much time for your haircut.
$ 24 — which is higher than what I used to spend for my hircuts but I think this place is worth it.

Who would have thought there was a –real– barber in the loop? Just head to 69 W Washington (corner of Washington and State) and go downstairs and you’ll find this small space…
Definitely all the amenities you would expect from a barber shop and even a shave with a straight-​razor if you like. Appears to be run by about three guys primarily but there is also a stylist there as well.
I went there just this morning and they’re all good people; good conversation while also getting my hair cut… very cool way to spend 25m of my morning.
Minimum charge for a haircut is $ 22 and I’d definitely recommend them. It’s a bit expensive for my haircut (shaved head basically) but worth not having to mess up my own home with the hair… and is cash-​only, just FYI.
Updated 20 090 924 to add intersection and add that it is cash-​only.
