Such a lovely place!! The people are wonderful, very personable, and know what they’re doing!! David brought my hair back to life. I usually dread getting my hair done but am so pleased with the results. Couldn’t recommend this salon (especially David) enough!!!
I’ve been going for a Tom Holland style for the past 8 months after my hair turned curly. I tried average barbers again and again, and always left disappointed. This, however, was hands-down the best haircut of my life. David explained everything I needed to do to pull off the style and I walked out of my appointment with the exact style I had been going for the past 8 months. Thank you David!!
David saved my hair!Dramatic? Possibly. Accurate? Absolutely.Since starting salon services with David last year, he brought my hair from dull and listless to bold and memorable. He isnt just a stylist, hes an educator. Every appointment brings a new lesson in hair care that equals to greater capabilities and a better look. How important are his hair services? I commute over an hour and a half for each appointment - its indispensable. Have hair issues? See David and thank me later!
Great experience! Everyone is really friendly, and being able to text to set up an appointment is amazing! My stylist was Jazzy, and she is so sweet and funny. I really enjoyed our conversation, and she did a great job cutting my hair and styling it. She recommended a conditioner for my hair too that I still use, and my hair still looks great. Definitely recommend coming here if you need a cut :)
Jazz has been my hairstyles for years and she always delivers excellent hair services. From Brazilian blowouts to my root touch ups, she does a wonderful job. She makes sure that I’m comfortable with the service we have planned and I feel like a brand new woman every time I leave her chair. Dan, the receptionist, always greets me with a welcoming smile and attitude. I’d recommend her and the salon time and time again.
I had the worst experience of my life! The “senior hairstylist” had no professionalism at all! His service was complete garbage! He didn’t ask me anything about my hair! He looked like he was in a rush. Didn’t ask no questions, just cut. It was my first experience and a experience I will never attend again! A $10 barbershop around my area was better! A waste of $50! And there’s no refunds as well. If I were you guys, I wouldn’t go here. Go somewhere else.
Went to this place for the first time not long ago. Had the pleasure of seeing Jazz. She’s so fun and has a great style! She gave me a much needed trim and a color refresh. I can’t recommend her enough!
I cant recommend this place enough! Ive been on a hair journey growing out my hair over the last 7 months without a cut. Needless to say, my hair needed to get cleaned up (and as a guy whos always had short cuts, I needed to learn how to take care of long hair!).David was absolutely amazing. He walked me through the science of my hair, and helped me better understand a healthy routine and daily maintenance. I showed him a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like and, honestly, he NAILED IT. I walked out of the salon with a smile on my face (and I swear I got a few friendly eyes directed my way from strangers passing by).11/10 would recommend. If you want a place that takes care of their clients and makes sure you LOOK and FEEL good -- hit up David LaSalle and Chicago Male Salon. Im still on cloud 9!
I enjoy coming to this salon. Pretty much everyone there is a delight to interact with but, Jazmin is my absolute favorite. Her personal style is professional and customized just for her; knowing that she is allowed to express her self and the owner is ok with that makes me feel comfortable there. Every visit with her is refreshing and I am looking forward to my next visit.
Jazmine is the first stylist Ive felt comfortable seeing regularly in Chicago, after living here for 3 years. I love that I can just ask her to do her thing and I always leave looking great. Everyone Ive interacted with is so kind and professional, but I wouldnt trust my hair to anyone but her!
Jazmine is awesome! Listened to what I wanted really well and brought a lot of creativity to the table. Super fun to chat with too! Great experience and great quality.
David was excellent!! He gave the best haircut I’ve had in YEARS. The salon itself was professional as can be and incredibly clean, especially given Covid restrictions. The vibe inside was fun and the music was exciting and fresh. Everything about my experience was fantastic - 10/10!!
I’ve been getting my haircuts from David at Chicago Male Salon for a few months now, and I will never be going anywhere else! He does an incredible job every time, and consistently goes above and beyond in terms of styling advice and providing me with information on how to keep my hair healthy. David and all the Chicago Male Salon staff members are super nice and welcoming as well.My cut looks great every time, and it keeps looking great for weeks and weeks after (as opposed to other places where my cut looked awful and unkept after just a week or two). This man is a true master of his craft and I could not recommend him more!
Jazmine at Chicago Male is the BEST. I’ve been going to her for years. She always gives a great cut. She’s also super personable and easy to talk to. Highly recommend this salon!!
Ive been getting my haircuts and beard trimmings from Jazmine for a while now and Im really impressed with her work. Shes awesome to be around and is very personable. Im glad I found her because Im picky about who works on my hair and she has far exceeded my expectations.
I had a fantastic experience here. The place is lovely, everyone was nice and Jazmine did an amazing job! I will definitely be back.
I’ve been getting my haircut by Jazmine for about 4 years now so it’s obvious to say that I love the way she cuts my hair. I never have to tell her how I want my haircut but she’s always great to bounce ideas off of and have the ability to do something different that works for me. I always look forward to seeing Jaz once a month to have our hilarious conversations. I would give her 10 stars if I could. She’s the best.
Jazzy is incredible! From cut to color, everything she’s done has been perfect. Ten stars out of five!
Started coming here after the quarantine began and they finally started letting us get haircuts. Jazmine cut my hair then, and every month since. Place is always clean. Staff is always professional. Always on time. Jazmine is extremely attentive to detail and I always look forward to whatever conversation we might have.
Jazmine does a great job! She’s been cutting my hair for years. The place is clean, friendly staff, vibrant neighborhood. Highly recommend!
The space was clean, the stylists were friendly and interested in my comfort through the whole process. I appreciated, the team work and the collaboration amongst the stylists. Thank you I feel brand new
Very friendly service and the greatest haircuts in the city. Jazmine has been cutting my hair for over a year and I’ve always left impressed with her work!
I have long messy hair and Jasmine always knows how to cut it in a very clean manner. She made sure my hair was prepared to be cut and told me what each step of the process was about. I look forward to getting my haircut here in the future.
Jazmine is the best! She took my unmanageable hair and made it nice and soft and glossy. Staff is very professional and friendly. Highly recommend!!
I have been a client of Chicago Male for more years than I can remember, and have been a client of David even longer. They are simply the best. The vibe is always fun and friendly (even though David is my stylist, the other stylists engage with you as well). I have recommended others to Chicago Male and no matter who they work with, they always leave happy. Wherever I live in the city, Ill always travel to Boystown to get my hair cut. I wont trust anyone else!
Amazing salon, responsive and friendly staff who have given me my favorite hair cuts of recent years. Stevyn is an amazing stylist who listens to exactly what I want and helps me find a style that looks great. He also gives an amazing scalp massage with the shampoo!Its also always a plus when you can have a nice coffee or a glass of wine with your haircut and scalp massage.
Jazmine is amazing! She gave me my first haircut in 4.5 years and it was exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommend
Jazmine is a courteous professional, who provides high quality service and thoughtful advice. The salon is clean, well decorated and safe.
Jazmine has been an incredible hair stylist and colorist for me from the moment I sat in her chair. She is not afraid to have a real, detailed conversation about the goals of your hair, even if that takes a second. She has helped me create and execute some really beautiful har colorings that have also grown out beautifully. She is one of the most competent, professional, and hard-working people that has ever cut + colored my hair.
I just received one of the best haircuts Ive had in years from Jazzy, she took the time to figure out exactly what I was going for and explained how she was going to do it along with how I can maintain the look going forward. Fantastic attention to detail and perfect customer care, I would absolutely recommend getting your hair cut here!
Fantastic salon, experienced place that has a friendly professional atmosphere, Nick is great!
Jazmine does a tremendous job, and she is always professional. I highly recommend.
If you need a haircut, go and see Jazzy as Chicago Male Salon! Her cuts are always exceptional!
Ive been going to this salon for about 9 months and have only ever had amazing conversations and even better haircuts from Jazmine! Id recommend this salon and Jazmine in particular to anyone!
Received an excellent haircut by Jasmine Ruiz! Highly recommend their services for any nonbinary or non-cis people looking to have their hair cut and styled--they gave excellent advice on how haircuts can be tweaked towards masculine, feminine, and androgynous styles.
David is an amazing stylist, the best one there. His passion and knowledge for hair is undeniable. It’s a great haircut and experience every time.
This was my first salon experience, nick made it a 5 ⭐ Thanx again, love my haircut!
This is the only place that I have gone to have my hair done in a couple years now. Not only is it a welcoming and clean space with friendly staff, but I have found an abdolute gem of a stylist there!! I have had Jazmine as my stylist every time Ive been there and she is absolutely amazing! Having wanted to change my look a few times over the last couple years but not quite knowing what I was looking for, Jazmine has made so many great suggestions and has been great to work with on my style! This last time was taming my pandemic mane and trying a longer hairstyle for the first time and I walked out with probably one of my favorite styles Ive ever had! I highly recommend Chicago Male in general but Google doesnt give me enough stars to rate my experience with Jazmine!
I started coming here in March of last year; I walked in looking like Michael Cera and now I’ve walked out looking like Chris Evans. The absolute master David Lasalle has completely transformed my look, my hair’s texture, and my styling habits. I can’t recommend him enough; I had dry, poofy, frizzy blonde hair, and through his recommendations and explanations (he knows all the science behind it all, a true professional), he has made my hair silkier, textured, and my poofy frizz has turned to curls.These people will teach you everything you need to know about your hair, you won’t regret it.
Jazmine has been cutting and styling my hair for 3 years now, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Great haircuts...clean, safe environment...and great staff. Go see Erica for the best haircut ever!!!
I cant wait to go back here, its by far the beat hair cut in Chicago area. I travel to this place from the west suburbs
I went in tonight with Covid hair. - long curly mess. I havent had my hair this long for 30 years. After searching on-line I decided to give David a try.He crushed it! Ive never had a stylist who truly understood curly hair. Most stylists just cut it like straight hair and leave you with few options outside of cutting them all off. David gets it. Highly recommend - if you have curly hair and youre looking for an expert - see David - clearly a master!
This is the best place in the world to get your haircut for me! 💈In #2021 #ChicagoMaleSalon and Nick, my fabulous stylist will continue to give you the best haircut of your life. #besthaircutofyourlife.💈
Ive been getting my hair cut and styled by David for nearly 6 years now and I cannot recommend him enough. Every member of the staff is warm, friendly and accommodating. Every four weeks I absolutely look forward to coming in to Chicago Male Salon. From my experience, David has the best fade in the neighborhood!
Jazmine is the best ❤️
Highly appreciate the attention during hair removal sessions (review of Andrew).
Great service fast and friendly and good selection
My boyfriend and I were looking for a new hair salon, for the both of us. After seeing the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love my haircut, I loved my boyfriends even more. Very friendly staff and helpful as well, they give you tips and don’t pressure you to buy products. My stylist Nick, listened to what I wanted and didn’t cut my hair too short. We are definitely going again. 😊
Great salon, great service, and Christian is fantastic! He was very professional, friendly, funny, and did an amazing job on my haircut / style. I was slightly nervous because I was doing a pixie cut for the first time. Christian executed the cut perfectly, matching it to the shape of my face, and showed me different ways to style it. I walked out of the salon feeling confident and sexy with my new hair style. Thank you to the salon and Christian for a great experience - I definitely know where Im going from here forward!
I am VERY happy about my haircut that I received from Nick! Thanks!
I love this place. I followed my stylist here from another shop. Jazzy is the absolute greatest! I’m always kinda awkward when it comes to small talk but this gal is next level at making you feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. We laugh we cry and by the end of it I’ve got a gosh darn amazing hair cut before I even know what’s happened to me. She pampers you with the shampoo and is always attentive to your needs. Whether it’s another pour of wine or coffee or it’s just talking music or video games, this girl does it all with ease and style. I won’t go anywhere unless she is there! The absolute best I’ve ever had and I’d recommend anyone to try her out for a great cut/style and an even better hangout. She is a perfect example of what this place offers in terms of service and quality above all else!
Had a wonderful experience with Erica! I would absolutely recommend to anyone!
I always love getting my hair done here. Its so clean and comfortable! I usually go to Jazmine Ruiz, who does such a wonderful job with both cut and color. Go to Jazzy especially if you want to do some funky colors -- Jazzy is EXCELLENT at making my rainbow hair dreams come true! I have also gotten some hair treatments and waxes, and I am always super happy! Chicago Male isnt just for men -- anyone can get their hair done there.
Love this place!!! Right when you walk in you feel very welcomed both by the staff and overall vibe of the salon. Jazzy cuts my hair and always does a really great job; she takes her time and pays attention to the little details. Also, she has a fun bubbly personality and we always have a good time catching up while I’m getting my haircut. Definitely recommend Chicago Male and Jazzy!
Great service and style! I like that they took the time to take me through how to style my hair. Highly recommend.
David is my go to guy at Chicago Male Salon. He is more than just a stylist or barber, he is a teacher & has grown to become a friend as well. He has taught me so many things about my own hair that I would have never known to do. He can style my hair at any length and has all of the knowledge of a true professional. Thank you David for your continued excellence. Ill see you again soon!
David is great with my curls! He gets my color just right too (red hair with highlights). He gives some damn fine mens cuts too but I dont have to worry about those lol.
Talk to Aszure. Shell do you right!
Excellent place for a cut and style. David is the greatest, because I can give him complete autonomy and still totally trust him to make me look and feel good. He’s been cutting my hair for almost 10 years, and I’m glad he’s joined the group at Chicago Male. Wonderful experience from start to finish.
I visited the salon this past Wednesday (6/20) and had a wonderful experience. Called ahead to make a reservation and the whole process was painless and efficient. Upon arrival to the shop, everyone was friendly and welcoming, particularly Lake.My barber was Jason, who was able to shape my hair into exactly what I wanted and did it expertly. The glass of wine I was given made the whole experience even better, as everything they do is elevated at this location. Fantastic service and a very knowledgeable staff. Chicago Male is my new favorite spot! Hospitality is top of the line.
First off when you go in they are so welcoming and very friendly. Jazzy did my hair and did a wonderful job to make my hair look nice and back to life. She also did my eye brows and came out awesome. Shes wonderful :)
Edit 5.15 - After a very perfunctory and cold experience getting some facial waxing done today, Im wondering if the reason why was because my doppelganger was here 15 mins. before me to make fun of everyones hair and outfits.Even getting checked out and trying to buy some product thatd been recommended to me last time gave me the impression that I was infringing on peoples time and why dont you just pay up and get the hell out of there already.Knocking the rating down based on this - if this had been my first experience at CMS, it wouldve been my last.(Leaving my original review up for comparison.)2008.28Had an emergency Friday session with Andrew Dalton to fix several issues with my local salon as far as waxing my brows/ears (Im visiting from out of town).He was very friendly and obviously professional in taking care of my waxing...he could teach many other salons how you can wax a guys face quickly, neatly, and cleanly.Front desk staff was very on point, and they also offer a range of products to pick from.Support a pro-LGBT+ service provider and stop in at Chicago Male (wish I lived closer so I could be properly groomed like I prefer!)
I have been coming here for the past year and this place is amazing! David is by far the best stylist I have ever had. At this point, I don’t even need to tell him what I want, I just sit down and let him work his magic. The price is totally worth the experience.
When I moved to Chicago, I tried a few places that were just ok. Then I found Christian at Chicago Male Salon and he has been giving me the best cuts and colors of my life! I came in wanting something new, never having been happy with my hair and he taught me how to work WITH my curly hair and how to welcome highlights for the first time. 10/10 would recommend Christian! Whole experience at this salon is always great too! Everyone there is nice and welcoming! Atmosphere is fun and laid back but professional.
Really great experience. Extremely kind and professional, really made getting a cut a pleasure.
The worst $80 haircut...
Chicago Male Salon is the best space dedicated to men’s hair around the city! I’ve been coming here for the past year and have loved the experience of being treated by people who really know what men’s grooming is.David LaSalle is my star to go and he has reinvented my hairstyle! His talent, charm, and knowledge are the best. Absolutely love this place and would recommend it if you’re a guy who likes to look & feel good (gays & allies!) 🙌🏽💯
Very excited that I started coming here, great atmosphere and staff. I see David and I couldn’t be happier. He does an amazing job and has a lot of knowledge to share! I walk out feeling fresh and renewed :) Definitely recommend coming here and seeing their senior stylist David.
Chicago Male Salon gets 5+ stars! Excellent stylists, great service and ambiance. I always leave feeling and looking great. Shutout to Jason and Christian for such outstanding service!
Great service. Only four star because, while they accepted credit cards, tips had to be in cash. Should have had a big sign announcing this. I was a first time customer, did know it, and had to went out in the rain and paid $5 ATM fee to get $10 for a tip.
Stevyn is an excellent stylist. He is thorough and has an eye for detail. His knowledge of the product line and his recommendations are always spot on so I can get the most out of my fresh cut or color. His facials are phenomenal too!
I always get cut by my guy David Here, who always has me looking fresh!!! I definitely recommend cause it’s not just a cut they actually care, always giving me info on my hair I didn’t know about cause my hairs difficult Lol 😂💯.
I’ve been Nick’s customer for about 2 years and couldn’t be happier when he decided to move to Chicago Male. The place has a great vibe and you get a free tea, coffee or wine as part of your haircut. Nick has great skills and I always feel awesome after getting a haircut from him. I’ll be a customer as long as I stay in Chicago!
Ive been getting my hair cut by David for over a year now and have never had a bad experience. He does a great job educating and explaining as he works. Chicago Male Salon has a great, friendly atmosphere and everyone is really good at what they do.
Had a terrific experience in the salon working with stylist Stevyn. He encouraged me to try a new hairstyle (one that I didnt think was possible) but he pulled it off and Im thrilled with my haircut. The salon has a very warm and welcoming vibe... and the best hair and skin care product selection around!
Chicago Male Salon offers the best quality a big city could offer with a personal touch unique to the Midwest. Stevyn is a true artist who gives me a cut unmatched by anyone else I have met in my travels. Prices are more than reasonable for the level of service provided and the staff are friendly and welcoming to all.
Nick is AMAZING!! He’s been doing my hair for years and I always regret when I don’t go to him. He gets my color and cut perfect every single time and his attention to detail is unmatched. He makes me feel like a rockstar in the chair and I’ve never left from an appointment with him disappointed. I highly recommend Nick, his passion for his craft is very evident and always listens to what I want and goes above and beyond for me.
Ive been coming here and getting my cuts from Stevyn for over a year now. The attention to detail is amazing and honestly this is the only place Ive ever been to where I can genuinely say I love my haircut every time. They have great products too. It can get a little pricey if you decide to purchase product but its honestly worth every dollar. And after all you only get one head of hair. Treat it right. Just like these guys do.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I go to Jazmine whenever I need my hair colored, or even if I just need a quick trim, and she always makes me look incredible. A+ service and very fair prices.
I have Been a long time customer of Chicago males salon for body trimming services and it’s the best!
Best haircut of my life. Christian is a pro and made me feel at ease. He also gave me great maintenance advice and styling tips. I walked out of there a happy, refreshed man. I will be back, albeit not every 5 wks. as recommended - price was a bit high from what I was used to.. but for the cut, shampoo and hot towel service, I can justify another visit as long as I reside in this neighborhood. I purchased a styling product, which I love. No pressure or upsell tactics. 5 stars!
Christian is a stud. The cut was good too.In all seriousness, its a great salon w/ great service. Not that I need more alcohol in my life but the wine is great before, during, and after the cut. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.
The establishment is always so clean and staff very friendly. Stephyn is my stylist and always finds a way to make my same haircut just a bit different each time. Great place and worth it!
I went here last week to see jazmine! She was beyond amazing, listened really well to what i wanted and gave ideas. If you want something different, trendy, ext shes the woman for you but shes good with any one and any hair she will do what ever she can to give you what you want! Shes my go to she can be yours too!
My eyebrows look great, and Andrew is a doll!
I am going to be quite honest, I was very hesitant to try this place out as I have heard some negative things. But I believe in trying things for myself. Overall, I would say that I am a fan of the place. I have been to many high-end salons and I am very particular about the way they operate. I noticed the place was very clean and hair was removed from the floor almost immediately -- which alludes to the attention to detail they have. Second, the service was good. The stylist asked follow up questions and made disclaimers so that I knew exactly what was going on, which I appreciated. No alterations were made without checking in. The hot towel on the face is a good addition to the service and is included with the service! Overall, Im pretty sure I will be returning.
I had a facial done at Male Salon an I wasnt very happy with the Esthetician at all, when he was done with my face I still had noticeable black heads on my face, when I asked him why werent they removed, he replied that they were part of my skin, RIGHT! I had blackheads extracted before that were deep in my skin and were removed with no problem. For what I payed there should have been no blackheads at all present on my face. I will never do business there ever again.
Everything from the people to the service phenomenal! Ask for.Stevyn!
Been getting my haircut by Jazmine for years. Excellent style suggestions and styling tips. Would be rare if you didn’t get a compliment from a friend or a stranger after leaving the salon.
Nate has been styling my hair for well over a year now. His cuts have been the most consistent and skilled I have had in a very long time. I wish I had found him 10 years ago. Its no more expensive than most salons.
I always go to Christian (the bearded fellow with arm tattoos) for haircuts and highlights. He is the best colorist I have had and I am always very satisfied with my highlights from him. As well, my highlights from him look natural and well-done for a longer time than was the case at previous places I went to, where my blond highlights would look washed out and embarassingly in need of a touch up much faster. I believe this is because he is experienced at what he does and has a very good understanding of what shades of blond pair well with my hair type, and of the science of hair dyeing in general.I will keep going to Christian for haircuts or colorings of any type for as long as I live in Chicago. The other stylists are very nice too - I am just very satisfied with Christians work and he is a meticulous, friendly guy who provides thoughtful service.I ask for Christian when I need to get body parts waxed as well and he does a good job. I was previously waxed several times at a different salon for the same cost here and kept noticing that what I got waxed would look red in some places for multiple days. Ouch.... I thought I healed slowly back then because I was diabetic, but what I get waxed looks presentable faster when I get waxed at Chicago Male. I was also waxed at least once each by two other gentlemen here before getting waxed by Christian and had no complaints. All were well-trained and interesting to chat with.One guy I know told me he hesitates to go to this salon due to the atmosphere. It is a salon full of well-groomed guys and maybe it is not the environment for everybody. I cannot really comment much on atmosphere except I feel welcome and it is nice that there is coffee, tea, and wine. As well, the stylists I have met there in the many months I have been going to Chicago Male have been pleasant, attentive, and respectful.
Jason Squires is my stylist, and does a wonderful job each time. Im glad to come here, be greeted by friendly staff, get a quality style, and leave with samples of fine products. Jasons attention to detail leaves me very satisfied after each visit. Its a pleasant environment, and not too hard to get an appointment.
Very nice atmosphere. Jason, the owner, is a super nice and chill guy. Felt super comfortable and well taken care of.
Amazing location in the heart of boystown with friendly, personable staff. The waiting area is comfortable and they even offer wine, cause who doesnt like wine right! Stylist Stevyn will give you what you ask for down to the last detail. You wont leave disappointed!
Jazmine is the greatest and knows exactly how to style my hair. She makes sure to get it right every time with dying or cutting. Wonderful.
Great salon and staff. Be sure to ask for Stevyn. He knows the intricacies to a great mens cut!
