Chicago’s Barbershop

A J at this spot genuinely cares about his profession as a barbor, always makes sure you are happy with the haircut. I have shopped around all over san francisco. If theres was a hands trophy A J and Steph Curry would own this catagory

I love this barbershop! Clean, cool vibes, and excellent service! Ken is a master Barber that gives me a flawless fade everytime I visit. Perfect line up for ladies with short cuts. Five star service all the way!

Convenient. Each barber is licensed/​certified & displays their individual style/​flavor with each cut. First visit? Make an appointment if time is tight. My barber (DeMario) and I have history and I’m comfortable w/​his skills. Make a connection of your own.

Great service, nice hands. Hard to find some good barbers in sf! My boyfriend feeling ’ super fresh lol

Called to make an appointment and was told to come in 10 minutes. I was there, waited for 45 minutes, after which I was told to come back some other time because there was some confusion with the booking…

Awesome barbershop! I get my hair cut with Eshawn when I can, and have always been really happy with the results. My main complaint is that it’s just a hike for me to get there — if they were closer to me, I’d be there far more often. Pro tip: call in advance to schedule an appointment. While they may offer walk in appointments, they get extremely slammed and you’ll want to have an appointment. Pro tip #2: If you can’t make your appointment, let them know as soon as possible. Overall, this is a great business and I’d highly recommend it.

I’ve been going to Chicago’s for at least 5 years now I’ve failed myself for not leaving a review sooner. Eshawn has always giving me the freshest cuts sometimes at a moments notice. I have a busy schedule and truly appreciate the appointments schedule. With Eshawn, I never had to wait. Also, I’ve never seen anyone cut by any barber at Chicago’s walk out with a busted cut. Good people, music and great bantering and conversation only adds to the experience. With that, I’m off to make my appointment.

I’ve been coming to Chicago’s for about 8 months and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. For starters, my barber, Jon, consistently gives me a quality cut. Also, I tend to travel a lot for work and my schedule can be erratic, but Jon always does his best to fit me in. The shop itself has an old school feel, but it’s clean and the barbers are respectful (i.e. no offensive language). During busy hours, they sometimes run a little behind schedule, but this is to be expected. I’ve never had a barber that was on time 100% of the time, and I’m not convinced that such a barber exists. Overall, a quality shop that I strongly recommend.

I’ve been waiting quite a bit to get a haircut from Eshawn and I finally got one. In the past I’ve had barbers cut my hair but never really how I wanted it. I showed him a picture of how I wanted my hair to look and he did a really good job. He’s super personable yet doesn’t lose focus. The barber shop as a whole is welcoming and the people are genuine.

I have been to see AJ twice now, and he always does a good job. I suggest calling ahead. They will try to work someone in, if possible. However that is not always possible from what I have observed, as they are usually quite busy.

I highly refer AJ, he’s new to the shop. Call the shop in advance and set up an appointment with him! He does a great customer service. He cut my hair many times, he gave me one of the best fades I could ever ask for. He’s great with any kind of hair. Trust me you need him !

Waited forever, then left. I walked in on Saturday morning and spoke to one of the barbers who said he had an appointment coming in ten minutes, so he couldn’t help me. I asked if I should make an appointment and come back later – he said no problem, we’ll be with you soon. Almost an hour and a half later, no one had even acknowledged that I was still there patiently waiting. I just walked out.
Maybe they give great hair cuts, I wouldn’t know.

I am fortunate enough to live above the shop. The guys are all so sweet and do a super awesome job! I think I drive them crazy because I never make an appointment but they always make time! Definitely recommend making an appointment if you don’t want to wait around!

Stopped here as I am in town for a wedding. Rommey hooked it up! Just like back in NY!

Great guy. A class act. Not trendy; just real!

After many unsuccessful attempts to discover the right barber in S.F. (which isn’t the easiest task as a Black man in the Bay Area), I must say that Chicago finally won me over. Beyond just giving quality haircuts, the professionalism and wifi are definitely an added bonus, as I like to browse the web and catch up on emails while I wait. Btw, I think it is important to note that while walk-​ins are welcomed, it is better to make an appointment in advance, unless you feel like waiting around 2 – 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon.
The shop is quite popular with locals, including those in tech. I happened to meet quite a few people working in the industry who shared an equal amount of admiration for the barbers at the shop. The barbers go the extra mile to deliver a *quality* experience each time. From the hot towel treatment to razor lines, it is not your typical fast-​food type of barbershop that just wants your money and shoo you along. They really understand the importance of keeping the customer coming back.
Anyways, I’d suggest checking them out for your next cut. Oh yeah, don’t forget to tip your barber on top of the standard fee. Just to show that you appreciate them for their service.

I tried to come to this place ro get a haircut. And they have a BIG ASS sign that clearly says walki ins welcome. So naturally I walk my happy ass in. Only took 15 min for any or the 6 barbers to notice and say something to me. Which is fine. But there was some issue that one barber comes over and tell me after he had come from upstairs. That hey they got room for me upstairs. Guess the 6 downstairs were too «busy» so I go upstairs and after asking the 4 barbers upstairs. Oh they all shit to do and whatever.
Piss poor communication and even worse costumer service. I offer 50 dollars for a cut and oh that changed they mind.
So in my most polite professional opinion F these clowns. Cats walking around like they they hottest shit since slice bread.
It’s a nice and clean shop. Sure there are some good barbers. But all it takes is one bad experience. I aint eva setting foot on this side of the block. That what I get for not calling ahead to my real barber across the street at Westside Cuts. I’ve been getting cut there for 20 years. You stray once and karma gets you. Don’t cheat on your barber.

Kenneth is the man. Takes his time and does it right. If you want to get a proper buzz cut this is your place.
Call ahead.

EShawn is the truth! Found this shop on Unilocal and sent my picky husband to get his beard right… let’s just say he got exactly what he wanted!

Good service. Friendly atmosphere. ESPN on the tube. Was offered a bottle of water while I waited. Than ALAN hooked me up with a super fresh taper.
What more could you want from a barbershop?
Keep up the good work gentlemen.
scissor salute!!!
