High-end service at a fair price. At the same time, it almost feels like going to the spa. Workers are courteous, barbers are undoubtedly professional. They know what you have to do with your hair. I especially love how they take their time to styling your hair. The place is very accessible and has a very spacious car park.

Corner Barber Shop From My Experience Has Definitely Been An Awesome Experience. Theyve been very professional, courteous and humble. Great vibes. My Barber Is Mike. One of my best barbers so far. You will not be dissapointed!

Been coming here for great haircuts for several years now. Arthur and Mike are professional, honest, and they’ll take great care of you. They also recently let go of their one problematic employee; if you wrote them off because of his behavior, be sure to come back and give them another chance.

Artur is the best! Always accommodating with schedules, top quality, and friendly conversation. Exactly what you want in a neighborhood barber shop!

Great barbershop. $21 and I get my sides faded well and a scissor trim on top (w/Juan). Quality for a good price. Conversations are easy with the barbers, worth a try.

No need to call ahead as they do not stick to a schedule. Waited way to long for my scheduled time slot that I left and went someplace else. Time to find a new barber!!!!

Im very disappointed to give Corner Barber one star. For years, it had been my favorite barber shop but now it employs a sickening racist.On 12/22/19 around 2pm, I walked in and waited for my turn. A conversation already in-progress was going on between some guys in the shop. Apparently, at least one of them worked there.He loudly proclaimed the different types of customers hed served as a barber, but turned into a Carlos Mencia-style tirade about how hell never serve Muslim customers again. At least 5 other men (including one barber working with a customer) can corroborate that.It used to be a great place, but now its run by racists apparently. I wish Mike would return - he always treated his customers with respect and gave excellent service.Im finding a new barber shop and never returning.

Great barber shop and the price is seriously unbeatable. Went to Alex today for the first time, and he really took care of me with a great cut and some great tips for care. Going to make this my barber spot. Worth checking out for seriously the best price in town for quality

This place is terrible. Had no idea what he was doing, didnt ask before absolutely destroying my BFs hair.

Review №12

The haircut was decent!! Definitely better than Gabby’s!! I definitely had a 1st time barber shop experience here! The barber cut my hair using no water whatsoever! I have curly hair and usually they spray my hair every time I have ever got a haircut! The cut came out decent too! It didn’t wow me but it was better than Gabby’s and Super Cuts down the street. Probably won’t go back unless I am desperate.. You are looking at a 1-2 hour wait if have no appointment setup... I hate that going to a barber.. Soo annoying..

Came in for a beard trim on NYE/clean up. I had just come from Spain for Christmas and was looking quite rough. Alex got me looking like a stud in no time. I just started coming to Chicago once a month from Dallas and Ill be back every time. Would have given 5 stars but didnt get my haircut. 💈

I recently moved into the area so I had no clue on where to get a haircut. The Corner Barber Shop was the closest option to me so I decided to give it a shot. I made reservation for 12:30, however I was not helped until 12:50. I did not mind the wait, however the service that I received was horrible. At one point, the barber even said, youre kind of getting on my nerve, buddy, I was very taken back by this comment. I have never gone to a place of business where I was treated with this much disrespect.

Good price for a quality product. Old school atmosphere. Great group of guys. I’ve been consistently going there for the past 6 months or so and have had a great experience every time. $19 for a haircut. Straight razor finish. Cash only.

Artur is the man, always gives great service. Ive been going for a couple years now and try to make it back every few weeks. Straight razor neck shave and can even ask about trimming up your beard, would recommend to any guy

Review №19

For $19 that was the best damn haircut Ive ever gotten. Mike figured out exactly what I wanted without saying much, didnt skimp out on the details (neck shave included), and was good company. Gonna come back in a month without a doubt.

Review №20

DO NOT COME HERE. Ive given this place many chances because its in a convenient location for me. Since I moved here 2 years ago their prices have steadily increased and their quality has gone down. Mike gives good cuts... sometimes. Hit or miss. These guys know how to do ONE haircut and try to put it on every customers head. If you give them very specific instructions about what you want, even show them pictures or videos, they will nod and say okay and do whatever they want anyway. Ive spent so much time trying to grow my hair out for a certain type of cut and these people have ruined it repeatedly. Juan was my most recent barber and its the worst haircut I have ever gotten and I think he knew it too. He just didnt understand what I was asking for. I have to wear a hat just to leave the house now and I cant really afford another $30 to go have it fixed by someone else. I said do not take any length from the top and the first thing he did was snip over an inch of my hair off and then tried to blend the rest into the sides and it turned out choppy and horrible. I am not one to leave bad reviews but its been over 2 weeks since my haircut here and I am still angry about it every day. Avoid at all costs if you have any profession that requires your hair to be well groomed such as a model or actor.

My sons place. Clipper/ razor #2 on the top #1 on the sides. Fair priced, easy vibe, good at their craft

To be honest, I am surprised that it has taken me this long to write a review on The Corner Barber Shop... Because ever since I stepped foot through the door, Artur, Mike, Jaime, and Robert have treated me like their most valued customer. In fact, they treat everyone who walks through their shop as their most valued customer--greeting everyone with respect, courtesy, and great conversation. Apart from how well they treat their customers, they are also truly masters of their craft. Over the few years that I have been going to The Corner Barber Shop, I have received a haircut/beard trim/shave from Artur, Mike, Jaime, and Robert, and I have never left disappointed. Simply put: you wont get a better haircut than at The Corner Barber Shop!-- Daniel H. (a customer for life)

I have been going to Robert for years (like almost 15 years) and the guy is just an amazing barber. Very down to earth, kind and gentle. He does a wonderful job cutting hair and takes his time with you. Great for flattops!

Review №26

This is a true barber shop. I moved across the street when I first got to Chicago, and I havent let anybody cut my hair since. These guys genuinely care about building a relationship with you, and they do so by listening to you and giving a damn good haircut every time. You see a lot of regulars here for a reason.

Review №27

Juan is an awesome barber! I always walk out with a clean and precise cut. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for an exceptional cut and/or shave.

Review №28

Really friendly, professional, knows what hes doing. In and out in 60 minutes on a Friday night. If you call ahead the barber will save your spot to speed up your process. I got a full cut in about 20 minutes, the barber lines you up with a single blade razor but what makes his special is he uses a hot lather and a hot towel for clean up. Feels amazing.

Kh
Review №29

The corner shop is clean and the staff is always friendly. Juan has been cutting my hair for the past 13 years and always gives exactly what I ask for. (Which is saying a lot as he’s seen me go through many styles and phases) he’s got a lot of experience and always makes sure you leave with a clean cut no matter the style you want. Juan might even school you on a few things while you’re in his chair hahah.

Ma
Review №30

This is a barber shop in every sense of the words. You will receive a traditional old school hair cut with a hot lather and shave for a reasonable price. If you dont care about how you look then waste your money at great clips. Come here to feel like a gentlemen that drinks fine scotch and owns many leather bound books.

Review №31

Barber went rogue on my hair. Cut it very short on the left and left the right long. He was unable to follow simple instructions. First time Ive ever needed to get a haircut fixed. Judging by the previous reviews, its not the first time this barber has tried to give this hairstyle to new customers.

Ju
Review №32

Great barber shop feel.Juan always hooks it up the way I like it. Clean shave head with the shaping on the beard. Great quality barber, been getting haircuts from this guy for years. Ive transitioned from so many different style cuts,but it doesnt matter Juan can hook it up no matter the style.#beastmode... why go anywhere else

Review №33

Asked for a simple taper on the sides. Barber got a bit too razor happy and ended up shaving 3/4 of my hair. Told him multiple times to not make the sides any shorter, but insisted on fixing it. This is the last time I will be visiting here.

I had an exceptional experience at this barber shop. My barber is Juan Calderon, hes one of the best barbers around, make sure you ask for Juan, you cannot go wrong with him.

Review №39

Paid $21 dollars for a $7.00 haircut. I asked for a mid fade and just the tips on top. I originally had around a size 8 on top and this guy cut a 3 on top and on the sides. Instead of a mid fade it looks like just a taper with a 3 all around. Also, it says it opens at 8 but they werent open until 10am. Had a real bad experience and I doubt iIwill be going back.

I like this place a lot. Here I found a barber who chats as if he were an old friend within a fun old school environment, and -- most importantly -- gives a really good hair cut. Customers take note: this barber shop only accepts cash.

Review №42

Visited over the weekend; very shabby work with a standard low fade, inconsistent lines and the fade was jagged. Beard trim was decent but the razor work was very rough, got cut multiple times and irritated my skin. Would not recommend at all.

Mi
Review №43

I give this place 5 stars because Ive been burned before. Hair salons are overpriced, new-age mens barbers tend to feel just like a chain. This place takes themselves seriously and it shows. No frills pricing and no awkward feeling like they just want to get you out of the way. This place is worth a try, if youre not satisfied, maybe you belong at a salon...

Chill, easy vibes and always leave with a fresh cut. Guys are old fashioned, call and make an appointment for sure

Review №45

I don’t understand if someone gives this place one star it’s a barber shop and many barbers works here. Why you blame business if you had bad experience with one person ?I think it’s not fair. Give it a try with all of them and then make a decision. I have been coming here for many years and I know the owner he really cares about customers I had many situations where I needed a haircut on last minute before unexpected trip and guess what he stayed after hours to help me even it was long day for him. People who sees this place “as a junk” are simply stupid and ignorant this place is a piece of history, old fashion barber where grandfather father and son come to get a haircut. Some people don’t understand this legacy and it’s a shame. They are over 100 years in the same location and it means something! If you like me you will really enjoy this place it’s a man cave where you can relax and get amazing service with equally amazing conversation .

Review №52

Will not ever return to this place. I asked Anthony for a 2 on the sides and a skin tape up/fade. Instead of admitting that he didnt know how to do it and preventing me from wasting my time, he completely botched the hair cut. Guy cut me uneven on both side, cut the sides to a 1 instead of a two, and did an incredibly poor job on the fade. Do not ever go to this place unless you get the most basic of haircuts where it would be impossible to screw up. Never again.

Review №58

Maybe is just the way it is in America. But I hated my hair cut, it was nothing like I asked, and there was no way for me to correct him because I wasnt facing the mirror! It just looked like everyone elses in the room. They dont understand how hairs are different on different heads. I chose to trust the guy based on the reviews and that was a bad decision. If youre used to European barbers you will be disappointed.

Review №59

The worst haircut I’ve had. Asked for a simple taper to a 1.5 and he kept going shorter and shorter, probably to fix his mistakes. Anthony has bad reviews and I can see why. Gabbys is worth the wait, trust me.

Hi guys just after last night I have to let go one of my barber working in my barbershop due to multiple complaints and bad service it is intereting how next morning you recive bad review. We have been in the same locarion over 100 years so that means something ... we care and we follow every step with the health code to make sure everything is sterilized and clean we use disposal blades . Every barber in the shop have over 25 years of experience so we know our JOB but I am not gonna be suprise if we will still recive bad review. Everybody can use social media to spread all kind of stories GOOD LUCK and Thanks for support.
