I have been to Gents 4 times now and each time have been more than happy with my experience. Ive had cuts from Sergio, Angelo, and Mo. Great conversation and each were super friendly and were very invested in making sure I was completely happy with my cut. Each time has been exceptional.Today I went in and had a cut with Mo. He was super precise, and I could tell he was triple checking his work. I learned that he recently cut off A LOT of his hair and if I understood correctly, donated it to a friend whose son recently had a surgery and was able to use the funds he received for his hair to help out his friend. Super cool.What set todays appointment apart, though, was a few minutes towards the end of my cut where another barber came over to help out Mo. It was more of a teaching moment. I have a pretty big surgery scar that goes from ear to ear over my head almost like a pair of headphones. This barber came up to us, told Mo to use xyz clipper to properly cut the hair around my scar and ensure it grew back evenly with the rest of my cut.I cant tell you how appreciative I was of this. It showed me theres not only expertise and care in each barbers cut, but these guys are genuinely good people. My scars are always something I think about when going to a new barber, but the way these barbers handled speaking with me and sharing how these closer cuts would allow for my hair to grow back evenly with the rest of my head was next level customer service.Recommend 1000x

Very professional staff, received outstanding service from Amer! He Was on time, sanitary, and asked me all the right questions to figure out exactly what type of haircut i wanted. I will never go to another barber or another shop due to the amazing service I received here. I have never been to another barber shop that has provided so many pleasant services. Keep upThe great work!

This is the best barber shop experience Ive had! Very clean and professional barbers. Ive gone to Ahmad for the past 6 months, and let me tell you, a true professional. All these guys that cut here are very serious about their craft and do great work. 10/10 would recommend!

The new ownership is amazing. The place looks great and makes you feel like a million dollars, then they give you a service and cut that makes you feel and look like a million dollars. Couldnt recommend higher now!

I recently got a haircut from Ahmad, which wound up being one of the best haircuts of my life. Ahmads service was thorough and professional, and he seemed genuinely interested in making sure I looked good, taking the time to ask questions and share his thoughts as to what might be best. The atmosphere of the barbershop itself is classy and likewise professional, with jazz playing and wood throughout, reminiscent of an upscale, old-fashioned NYC barbershop. Looking forward to coming again, and soon!

The barbershop is nice and the barber I had was professional, but I received a haircut not at all what I wanted. I came in with my hair styled the way I normally have it and received something completely different from what I asked, and I gave it 2 days to see if it would grow on me and it simply has not. It’s uneven in the back and no matter how I part or style my hair it simply looks bad. My first name is misspelt in this review for some reason in case the owner says this is fake lol

The staff over at Gents are some of the highest quality barbers in Chicago. Ive seen all three barbers and theyve done a phenomenal job. Great people to work with!

This was my first time visiting the shop, and it was great! Sergio made me feel comfortable, provided for, and gave an amazing haircut with coffee and water. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! Can’t wait for next time!!

Great place. These guys have completely turned around the shop, and is undoubtedly my favourite barbershop in Chicago. Go for Sergio and you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing barber shop. Get my fresh cuts after a long school day at UIC. People are really nice and know how to help you rock the look that you want. Overall Amazing shop and students also get a discount on haircuts !!

I baught these trimmers for 70 bucks at this shop like a month or two ago and they were good in the beginning. I tried to do my lineup this morning and they didn’t turn on so i charged it. Then it made a rattling noise and turned off. For 70 bucks i expected better so i looked up how much they were on Amazon and they are like $15! I feel like I got scammed. Whats worst is the cashier told me these were the best trimmers out there right now. Wow just wow

Barbers consultation lasted no less than 40 seconds. He didnt really seem like he cared about what Id have to say and just did what he wanted and in his way. As a receding male, he cut it to where my hairline was exaggerated. The hair that would hide it was cut so short. 1 star for sure. Dont expect what you want. It still hasnt grown back so thats why Im making this review. Usually Im not that uptight but this was not to standard.

Angelo is the best! Greatest haircut I’ve ever had

I got my hair cut with Ahmad. He was very friendly and did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good haircut in the city.

Ahmad is a great barber. Luv the hospitality and look and feel of the shop. Will definitely be returning

The barbers are really professional and the locale is super clean and has a really cool vibe. Definitely would recommend!

Friendly and professional barbershop. Excellent online scheduling tool to make appointments. Generally very experienced and will definitely return for regular haircuts in the future.

Haircut was terrible for the price. For a high end LOOKING place, the hairdresser did not have much experience. I dont want to leave the house with the haircut I got hereUPDATE: two weeks later and my hair still looks absolutely terrible. DO NOT GO HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR HAIR

Ahmad gave me a fantastic haircut! One of the best I had in Chicago. Professional and helpful.

Moved to the area, and I am nervous about finding a barber. Amer hooked it up. I loved my hair cut and I plan on being back.

Great barber shop - Sergio was a professional. One of the best cuts I have gotten in a while. 10/10 would recommend.

Ahmed gave me the best cut Ive had in a while

Thanks Guys 👍

Amer is a true professional and provides great customer service along with great services!

Very professional staff and business. My son had his haircut and he appreciates the care and excellent service. And he also liked the haircut very much.

I was very hopeful with a barber in the neighborhood. I booked an appointment for a $35 haircut and shave as you cannot get just a haircut. What I received was an expensive haircut that I had to fix at home, no shave offered. I had to even out my sideburns even though they had been cut by the barber. The overall quality of the haircut was not good either. I guess I’ll go back to one of the chains in university village-so disappointed.

I have never been to a barber shop that treated me with such care, punctuality, and professionalism! I was greeted by the staff and taken into the chair immediately as I arrived. Rami cut my hair and was very quick and knew exactly what I wanted. Overall, this was one the best experiences I’ve ever had at a barber shop. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Got a haircut with Ahmad, very talented barber and went above and beyond for my haircut. Will be returning

Clean and professional barbershop. Barber Ahmed is a real artist! Would definitely recommend him

Ive been here a few times now and I can say that without a doubt that Ill be coming here for many years to come. Moes such an excellent barber and what sets him apart is his attention to detail. He made sure I walk out looking exactly the way I want to!

Without a doubt the best haircut Ive ever had. Staff was extremely professional, and the lounge was spotless. Ive never looked and felt better. Will definitely be coming back again soon!

Being a student a UIC and having this barbershop so close is amazing. They’re professional In every way all the time. The place has changed for the better under their new ownership. I’m glad they opened up! You want the best haircut you ever had? Go to them! You will be happy!

Def a well deserved 5 star. I came to visit family from out of state and needed to get a haircut for an event and they were able to take me last minute. Very professional they guys were welcoming and not surprised did an awesome job. I would get my haircut there again if I was back in town

Got a haircut from Luis. he did an extremely good job and was very professional

Gents is exactly what Little Italy, Chicago needed. This place used to be a hole in the wall until Gents came in and revived this place! I get my usual fade with a combover and i can honestly say these guys take barbering to the next level. Every Barber cleans and sanitize equipment in between clients which is a major plus for me. Highly recommend!!!

Edit: I was able to spend some time with Yaya, the owner of the franchise. He explained to me what had happened & owned the mistake. Yaya gave me an amazing haircut & runs an honest business. After this, I signed up for the 12 month commitment/subscription. I pay $35 a month for a haircut, they have some talented folks there, and Stella in their spa is spectacular. They completed turned my perception of the company around & have gained my respect and my business.Booked a same day appointment. Drove over, paid for parking, and waited on the couch. The one barber at the shop acknowledged me and asked if I was there for the appt, all good. 25 min go by and he comes over after his client leaves and tells me my barber called in sick.We rescheduled to the next day at 11. Figured I would give them one more shot. Got in at my appointment time & the one employeee working told me it would be 20 or so more minutes. I’m sitting here writing the review from the couch 30 minutes later & counting. Not worth yTLDR: I wouldn’t expect to get your appointment on time (or at all).

Only 2 barbers were working. Ended up having to leave because they were busy and couldn’t take me in.

Gents Barber Lounge is hands down probably one of the best establishments to go and get your haircut. It’s extreme quality, and professionalism by the staff is phenomenal, every time I go I don’t regret it. Highly recommended!

Wonderful and friendly staff! My father comes to this Barber Shop and has always had a good experience. The service he received was of high quality.

Just moved into the city A few co worker told me about the spot they go for their hair cut . So I try it out and I can definitely say, this is my spot now. Beside the fact that I told them and also showed them what I would like he mimic the cut just like the picture I showed him . Very skilled and knowledgeable about anything hair . Now let me say when waking in there I felt like I walk into a movie of one of the kingsman very professional, friendly service, and it is a marvelous shop . From the min you walk in to the min you walk out your treated nothing less then a king . It’s like a spa for men ! I wish they had more barbershop like this one around . 5 out 5 stars hands down .

Just Outstanding! My son and I went in for a cut and from the start to end it was so seamless. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Receieved a poor quality haircut, they had me in and out in 15 minutes. Another time I called to inquire about a haircut and they told me sorry bro we close at 7 and it wasnt even 6... wouldnt go back. Share the same sentiments as other 1 star reviews.

Took my son to get his hair cut, place was super clean, barbers made sure to sanitize the chair and the tools before my son got on the chair. Barber always had there masks on. Service was very professional. And my son loved his haircut.

So pricey, theres no sign anywhere that said itd be $35. I got the same below average cut id get at a $20 barbershop. No difference for it to be $15 extra!

Bad cut for price. Barber was careless and the cut only lasted like 20 mins.

Barbers are very attentive and precise, clean lounge! I love the atmosphere here! I appreciate the haircut guys, I definitely will be back with more business!

I went to Gents for a haircut and I was really impressed by how professional they were  and how much I loved the haircut. They are also very clean and made sure to sanitize their equipment. I will definitely be back

Got my son’s hair cut here, best hair cut yet. They were so patient and professional and listened to what I asked for. We will definitely be returning.

The place that was originally here was awful. You can tell the new management really took a hard look at this place and changed alot for the good. The haircut was great I was able to get right in and out.

Rude barber didnt understand my request

Best shop around I would recommend anyone to stop by and check them out they will not let you down!

The barber did not show up even though the appointment was confirmed a couple of hours before. Not professional.

Luis was careless on my hair and left lines all throughout my fade!

Best experience I had with my haircut.... Knew exactly what I wanted.... Great barbers with a well clean respected vibe in there awesome!!!!!!!!!

Mediocre cut from the barber w a beard

Cheap looking haircut, for too high of a price. Not to mention that I booked my appointment yet still had to wait after I got there on time. Waited on the couch and no one checked me in.

Very chic place and a really good and friendly barber

Can’t beat the haircut for this price, cool surroundings too vs a lot of shops I’ve been to that are all pretty bare. Moe is my new guy!

Poor hospitality

Took me in late

Not good for 35

Barber did me bogus

Bad location

👎👎

Worst haircut of my life, DO NOT GO HERE. OFFERED A REFUND AND DIDNOT GIVE IT TO ME.
