This is a very Elegant place to get your haircut done. The receptionist offered us beverages while we are waiting in their classy and comfortable waiting area. Comfortable sofa, elegant but masculine style of the place impressed me. Barber Sam was very knowledgeable and good at his craft. Glad we got him, my fiancee liked his haircut a lot and how San styled his hair for our wedding. I was observing and all of the clients seems very happy of their services here including us. Its one of a kind having your haircut here. This place is very confident and proud how their place look because it was beautiful in every angle. Very instagramable barber shop.(Not like the other barbershop that will message you to remove your photos of their place because it wasnt presentable enough to be in the reviews.)Theres parking around the area too. As in, around this barber shop. So it was very convenient to drive and park here. We will be coming back here and this would be my husbands barbershop from now on. Highly recommended.
In the last two years, Ive been to many Barber shops/ lounges all over these United States and by far this is the best.First the long and varied list of services they do is overwhelming at first. Hair, beard, manicure, pedicure, facials, shoe shines and more are available. They stock an incredible amount of products in the lounge.The space is bright, clean, and spacious; with comfortable chairs in the lounge area. Water and hot beverages are available, while waiting, or while in the chair.Every detail is perfection; from the barbers professional dress, to the layout, to the design of the stations.I was fortunate to have Yaya as my barber on my first visit. He was friendly, professional and talented. The quality of the haircut was amazing but the overall experience was the best I have experienced over many years.Kudos to Yaya and the staff for a wonderful experience I will tell my friends about.
First time here, I came in for a haircut and I came a little early and they took me right away which was really nice of them. On top of that the whole place is really clean really nice and it’s one of those places that you don’t expect to be a barbershop but they do exceed expectations. Personal cut my hair was super nice super helpful took his time and I really made sure that everything looked good before he let me go and I’m very impressed and very happy that I came in and now I will forever be a customer here.
I have bounced around a few barbershops in the city and this is by far the best I have found. Their prices are fair and the quality of the haircuts and beard lineups is unmatched in my opinion. The entire place is very clean and very professional. I have always went to Sam and he does an amazing job.
Honestly the most impressive barbershop I’ve ever been in. I was booked with Sam who is a true master of his craft. The level of detail he went into was unlike any other haircut I’ve had. Love everything about this place and will be a regular for years to come. Thank you Sam and Goodman’s.
First and last visit. Came in for a simple beard trim, to shape it up some. Made an appointment and did not see the person I had reserved time with online. I wasnt concerned thinking whomever I got would be good given the reviews and the way the establishment presented itself. The trim I got was far worse than what I could have given myself and not what I was looking for. Instead of shaping my beard up, an overly short guard was used all over. It was so poorly done with hairs missed all over. I had to attempt to fix it when I got home. I Had high hopes from the reviews I saw but was severely disappointed. A total waste of money
When you step into Goodmans with its amazing chairs, fixtures, and overall motif, you are immediately taken to another time. Just being inside takes your mind off anything that might have had you stressed and the services havent even started yet. I had a full shave from Sam and you can easily recognize his skill and attention to detail. So relaxing and high quality shave. Will definitely be back.
Horrible experience. I had a 10 am appointment that should have taken on 30 minutes. I showed up 15 minutes early and waited until 10:20. Nobody called me back for my service. I was told that my barber was running late, but there were others being serviced. I’d rather them cancel my appointment than waste my time.
I trusted Goodmans with my head/haircut for my wedding haircut and they delivered. The waiting area is super cozy. The staff cutting hair are all great. The experience was personable, professional, and you cant ask for more than that for a mens cut.
I have been getting my haircut with Hameza at Goodman’s for several months now and his haircuts are top notch. He listens to you and ensures you are getting exactly what you want so you are leaving happy. Highly recommended!
I always get my hair cut by Hameza and he always does an amazing job. The barber lounge itself has a great vibe. I have no plans on going anywhere else because I dont think there is better service available.
Just a week ago, my friend and I had our hair done with your barber. We were so thankful to John for making more good-looking with our new hairstyles. Both of us didnt regret our decisions of having him to cut our hair. A big thanks to your barber for the job well done! You are strongly recommended to everyone in the region!
Visited them last week and the place looked pretty good - it was clean and hygienic. Very well maintained. Great customer service at the front desk. Got my first time discount too. The only thing was my barber (Sam) didnt seem interested in giving me a haircut. Looked like he was just trying to rush through it and wanted to get the job done. Kept a straight face throughout and was not conversational at all. Moreover, he cut the backside of my ear and didnt care to apologise or ask if everything was okay. I thought I was bleeding but luckily wasnt. Finally, I am mildly satisfied with the overall haircut.
In the past 5 years I grew my hair out twice. The first time I grew it out for two years and the day I went to cut it the barber had destroyed my hair and I paid $80 plus tip to essentially look like a clown.I was nervous the second time around, but I went Monday to potentially set up an appointment at Goodman’s since they had 5 stars. I wasn’t sure I was going to cut my hair after three years, but Yaya made me feel welcome. Gave me a cup of coffee, explained to me his opinion, gave me a lot of confidence and so I set up the appointment.I met up with him today at 9 and I got over the top service, more coffee, had a great hair cut and beard trim for less than $45, which is rare. I’m very happy, they made my experience peaceful. 3 hours later I still feel great about this hair cut and I’m getting great comments on it.11/10. Above expectation. Thank you guys
My overall experience from start to finish was a 3.5 out of 5. The front desk staff was a bit unprofessional. I had my haircut with Yousef. I would still recommend this place as long as their prices fit your budget and you connect well with your barber.
Yousef did a great job. I was getting a new style and he talked me through some of things I need to do to help it look better. Super clean and classy place. Will definitely be headed back
It was my first time a Goodman’s today. I had never had a fresh shave from anyone, so I spoiled myself with a razor shave, and Facial. I booked online, and ended up with Yousef. He was quiet, but extremely friendly. I am hairstylist as well, so it was nice to sit there, getting pampered without the small talk. When I tell you, it was one of the nicest experiences I have ever had, that is an understatement. Yousef started with my razor, beard clean up. I was scared, knowing he could cut my Jugular at any moment. Lol. I trusted him completely. He was gentle, and made me feel very comfortable. After the shave, I’m not going to lie, I didn’t want to get a facial in front of Chicago Av in broad daylight. I was surprised when he brought me to an extremely calming spa/type space. I was relaxed, and at ease. He is the man! The facial was rejuvenating, and so relaxing. He could be a little heavier handed though(I love a deep scrub), but it was completely relaxing. After What seemed like 7 rounds of hot towels on my face,(loved every minute), I passed out. It’s hard for me to calm down, always anxious. This beautiful place made me feel at ease. I work at a 5 star hair salon, and we pride ourselves on customer service, and professionalism. I walked out of this amazing space wondering if we should team up. Lol. I can’t rememeber the last time I have a top notch service like that. 20/10, unbelievable. I’m so glad I found this Beaut! Also Yousef, you are GREAT at what you do.
Great service, great atmosphere. Going back.
Wow!! This barbershop is absolutely amazing! The cleanliness of it is 10/10 stars. Nothing but good service and happy and friendly staff! Not to mention this was the best haircut Ive ever received in my life from the worker Yehya (Yaya). He took his time, made sure I was comfortable, asked me if I needed water or wanted a coffee! He went out of his way to make sure that I was enjoying my experience. And yes this haircut was an EXPERIENCE. I will always choose this barbershop and always use that barber Yaya! I wish I could leave 100/100 stars.
I just recently moved back to Chicago and was in desperate need to find a great. Sam did an amazing job with the hair and my beard trim as well. Definitely recommend this location overall.
Im so happy these guys made it through the pandemic. Best beard trims in the city. Full. Stop.
Hameza is always professional and talkative.. And I enjoy having them as as my Barber. He works miracles.
I was out there for the haircut with my brother. Its a calming and welcoming place. The straight razor shave for manly males is the facial. It is a pleasure to experience. Theres nothing on your face like a hot towel, or shaving creams manly scent to sap the tension right out of your body. Weve come home really pleased. He cherished, as he said, his haircut. Highly advised!
The guys at the front were nice and accommodating since I messed up my reservation time. The guy who cut my hair, however, did an absolutely awful job. How can you mess up someone’s hair so bad that gets a 1.5 on the sides and a slight trim on top?? It’s the easiest cut of a lifetime. Crooked edges, missed spots of hair, uneven length?? Will never ever recommend this place to anyone.
I walked in and they served me fresh coffee in a Versace tea cup, there’s nothing more that needs to be said.
Moody gives the freshest cuts. Has you looking and feeling like Captain America afterwards!
Awesome haircut from Moody. Great atmosphere and overall top quality experience.
I love going to get my haircut at Goodman’s. I love their “old school” barbershop look and feel. Everyone is professional, products are great quality and Go see Anthony, he’s a cold dude and will give you a great haircut!
Excellent haircut and environment. If youre looking for a new barber, Rami or Sam are both great. Its a cool space, and they carry good products as well.
This is an elite barber shop. I have tried many different barbers, shops, salons, etc in years of living in Chicago and Goodmans is the best service/quality for the price that you can possibly get. Yaya is deeply committed to client satisfaction, as is the rest of the staff, who always go out of their way to provide the fine details for your cut. You will not receive the same level of care or attention at another barber - I can tell you that!
Im 62 years old and I feel like I received the best haircut of my life from Yaya. All around great experience.
Classic modern take on an old school, gentelmens barbershop💈.First time in I felt welcomed and received a great cut and conversation for an affordable price. Even received a 5$ discount as a first time customer. Thanks, Rami! Ill be back.
Great I enjoy the service and the shave
Great service from YAya he knows long and short hair. Cant wait to come back.
Goodman’s is phenomenal! Shout out to Yousef for taking his time and doing a great job on my first visit. I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends and will be back soon! Thanks again to everyone at Goodman’s.
Sam is a great barber and also is a humble dude. He will listen to your requests and put his time and effort into fine tuning and making your haircut specifications a reality.
Great new place! Rami is the best
Sam always does a great job. Love the vibe of the shop too
Ive been seeing Sam for haircuts for years and started going to Goodmans when it opened up. Great service and atmosphere!
The team here is exceptional and offers great service. Even down to advising you on the best type of pomade to put in your hair.While they do take walk ins, I can imagine calling ahead is a better idea as I’m sure they’ll be a lot busier once the word gets out.Don’t be put off by the ultra high end decor and vibe. Haircuts are $40, which is pretty reasonable given what other similar shops charge.
This place is perfect! its clean, very well presented and affordable. Not to mention Sam is the best barber in Chicago. He actually listens to your request and cuts your hair exactly as you ask him.I wont be going anywhere else. Keep up the good work Sam the new place is great.
Just stopped by this new barber for a haircut and I’m not going anywhere else! This place was exactly what I was looking for. A clean, classy barber shop with excellent service. Sam was my barber and did a fantastic job. He was extremely professional and quick enough (he wasn’t rushing, just effective). Sam did such a good job, my wife won’t let me go to any other barbers now! HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOODMANS & Sam D specifically! I will be back soon.
Ive never been to a more beautiful and professional barbershop in my entire life. Goodmans has it all and more! Very professional, kind, and relaxing environment. They use high quality products, are extremely clean, and will handle your look with care. Youll never want to leave the chair! Schedule an appointment online with Yehya ASAP! He will literally transform you and have you looking forward to your next visit really soon!
This barbershop is a breathe of fresh air. After years of going to regular shops, Goodman’s really makes you feel like you’ve been missing out. The barbers are very professional and give an amazing cut and shave. You need to try this place for yourself and prepare to walk out feeling relaxed and fresh!
Best fades in the city.
This new place in River North is amazing! Rami and his team are always so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere of the barber lounge is super cool! The haircuts are always great, but the overall service quality is unmatched. They have nice touches that really set this place apart. Definitely a great spot for a great haircut. Looking forward to also trying their pedicure stations!
Walking in you would never think you’re stepping foot into a barber shop! Has a very elegant vibe to the place. Sam has been cutting my hair for a few years now and he’s my favorite in the business. My appointment times are always right on time which makes things great for timing things out! Highly recommend
The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and he did such an amazing job on my haircut. They definitely exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, ambience, and the quality of the haircut that I received. He paid attention to detail and made sure that I was 100% satisfied with my haircut. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a barber
Professionalism that is unmatched...The greatest haircut and shave I’ve ever had! Great to see these gentlemen bring back an authentic barber experience. Absolutely astonishing, they set the bar very high in Chicago. Almost forget to mention the amazing latte served to me as soon as I walked in. Kudos to you Goodman!
I followed Sam over from his previous barbershop and he did a great job as usual. The people here are super friendly and professional, and the service is unmatched. Sam is able to give you exactly what you want every visit. The atmosphere in this new space is incredibly relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend.
Went to see Yousef, went great and walked away with a fresh cut. These guys are the real deal.
Honestly the best barbershop in Chicago hands down they got everything for everyone’s needs I definitely recommend to everyone U won’t be disappointed
Great new barbershop! Very well done and classy interior with affordable prices. I’ve been going to Yehya for a few years now and he has never disappointed! Always a well done fade with great service. Highly recommend checking the location out for your next haircut!
Clean and well thought out space. Service was on time and excellent. Price matches the quality of services rendered.Yaya is a solid barber, been working with him for several years (followed him here). Solid dude.
I came here two days ago to get a haircut... wow what a great experience I had. My hair stylist was Yaya and he was extremely professional. He went into great detail and made sure my haircut was exactly how I wanted it. You could tell he really loves his profession. Plus this lounge is only 12 minutes away from my condo so I will definitely be back. Glad this place is now in town!
Goodman’s is nothing short of incredible! The atmosphere is unlike any other barber shop in the city along with the ability and professionalism of the staff. The whole experience for my husband was top of the line. I will continue to rave about this place.
Every time I go I have a great experience very classy and professional barbers. Also when Yehya gives me a haircut it turns out better then what I wanted. I honestly think you should try this place out.
First off I must say LOVE the atmosphere. The staff was very respectful & really made me feel important. I was very nervous changing barbers but I’m glad I came here! They gave me EXACTLY what I had desired. Thank you Goodman’s ! 🙏🏼
Goodman’s Barber Lounge is by far the best cut I get in the city. It’s a great setting where you are able to kick back and have good conversations with the barbers. I have been going to Ameen and He is very precise and focuses on quality haircuts instead of quantity. He takes his time and makes sure the cut is what you’re looking for. 10/10 would recommend
Thanks AJ for a great haircut 💇 as usual. Also, thank you for maintaining such a clean environment on opening day today. I felt completely safe upon arrival.
Easily the best barber shop in Chicago. Yehya is my favorite but they’re all insanely talented. Go here if you want 5 star service with the best barbers in town.
I Live literally 3 min away! So convenient and professional. Sam is THE MAN! I get a simple haircut 2 blended up with a comb over and let me tell you I’ve been to barber shops that messed it up.....I’ve been there 3 times and every time he is CONSTANTLY giving me a GREAT haircut .SAM is a gift sent from a angel with hair clippers
One of the best barbershops I’ve been to yet. Great haircut, facial, manicure and pedicure I could ask for. The whole ambiance is soothing, especially in the quite room. If you value a great experience come to Goodman’s you won’t regret it.
Awesome place. Very friendly staff, communicative and knowledgeable. Beautiful location as well.
I followed Yehya from his previous location to this barber lounge, and am extremely impressed with Goodmans! The whole staff is amazing, and they offer so many unique services compared to a typical barber shop. I would highly recommend this to any person who wants an exceptional cut and the best services available.
Loved my experience here! The ambience of the location was unmatched. But the most important part was the excellent haircut I received. Exceeded my expectations from the moment I walked through the door!
Followed Sam from his old shop and I am glad I did. Already knew I was getting a great haircut, but the ambiance of Goodmans is second to none. Friendly and professional staff make for an awesome experience! Highly recommend!
I followed my barber here from his last place, and this is an incredible space this team has built. Relaxed atmosphere, welcoming, no get-in-get-out, and a focus on treating oneself. Highly recommended!
Barber Sam did an amazing job shaving my year old beard. Every part of the experience was first rate. I highly recommend Goodmans and I have found my new barber shop.
What is there to say, if you arent going to Goodmans your experience doesnt sniff what these Goodmans has to offer. Great location, fantastic appearance inside, every service a man could want, and the most professional barbers in the game! Im never going anywhere else, see you soon boys!
Unprofessional staff 👎👎👎 It’s my first and last time visiting to this place. 👎👎👎
I go to get a cut usually once a week and if not every other week. These guys are amazing and there new shop is one of the nicest in Chicago. If you want a good fade or line you will be happy with there results. Doesn’t get better than this. See yaya as well.
I went to Goodman’s for my first hot shave and the experience was fantastic. The staff was very professional, the atmosphere was relaxed, and most importantly the quality of service was top notch. I would definitely recommend going to Goodman’s!
This place is amazing. Over the top for a barber shop with great attention to detail. AJ did a great job and spent time understanding what I wanted in a haircut. He was thorough and did not rush. I will be back the next time I am in Chicago.
Rami has been my barber for years and never fails to give a perfect cut. The service here is exceptional, the atmosphere is comfortable and the shop is clean. Ive been to my share of bad barbers at other barbershops over the years, so its a relief to know I have a barber I can consistently rely on and not worry about a bad cut.
I followed my barber when he moved to Goodman’s. I value the professional and quick haircut: a premium a service at a reasonable price. Making an appointment means I don’t have to wait in the walk-in queue, and I always leave looking better than when I arrived.
Been getting my hair cut by Yaya for a while now and he’s awesome every time. If you’re looking for a good fade, he’s your guy. This new shop is top notch too, stop in you won’t be disappointed.
Wow! Incredible experience. Great staff with a passion for what they do. Left feeling great. Can’t wait to go back!
Awesome spot! Love the personalized attention, clean and modern space, and awesome experience all around. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good barber in the city!
Followed my barber here from his previous shop. This place is amazing and has some of the most talented barbers in the city. Great atmosphere and conveniently located
Goodmans always provides a highly professional, yet personalized experience. I am treated well from the second I walk into the beautiful lobby to the time I leave, and the cut is always fresh AF!
Rami is the best barber in town. What a beautiful shop and the service is even better. 5 Stars all around - great staff, great haircuts. Rami will have you looking RIGHT for the weekend or any upcoming special event.
Great attention to detail, they really take time to listen to the customer’s needs and ensure you are satisfied with your haircut.
This is a top notch barber shop, I highly recommend this team. Prices are reasonable for the level of service, great value
Everyone there is great! Great personalities and always a good time!! Best of all amazing haircuts and give me exactly what i want
Been going to Yehya for a few years now and selfishly didnt want to tell anyone about him, but hes the best and everyone should know. Followed him now to Goodmans and couldnt be more happy for him and this venture. These guys are the best in the barber game and this is the best barber shop around. Clean, modern, spacious and offers so much.
Absolutely love Goodman’s Barber Lounge. If you’re looking to get a clean haircut from barbers that really know what they’re doing, I highly recommend going here - especially if you want a clean fade.
Goodmans has everything! Ive been a long time client of Yaya and this new shop is incredible. They have every service you could need and provide the service with great care. If youre new to the area or looking to upgrade your cut look no further!
Very cool setup inside, good service, very clean and comfortable. Great haircut today from Ameen.
Yaya is the best barber if you want the most precise and accurate hairstyle. Hairstyles could be very challenging to accomplish when not handled by the right barber and yaya is the right barber for whatever you want to accomplish with your hair. If you work with him long enough he’ll throw out some ideas that would best fit your hair and it’s just amazing. Thank you for always creating quality work when I come in and having good vibes!!!! Highly recommend him!!!
Goodmans just gets it. They make getting a haircut into a one of kind experience. I look forward to getting a haircut now that I found this place. Highly recommend!
Chicago’s best barbers opened a gem of a place. Great decor, quality fade, “RamiTheRazor” never disappoints! Your new go-to spot for getting cleaned up.
Just had my first haircut there. Good service and fair price
Was walking by in the neighbourhood and stumbled upon this place. Wow! Absolutely amazing! First of all the space is massive, which is not usually the style of regular barbershops. You won’t feel cramped in this space. I walked in and was immediately taken care of by the check-in staff, and was offered a choice of coffee or water. After waiting a few minutes, a very well-dressed barber by the name of Rami came to get me. As we went to his station I noticed that all the other barbers were dressed the same way. Suited & booted to the nines! Rami was excellent and very friendly. All in all, a fantastic experience, and worth the price! Will definitely go back again!
Yaya has been taking care of me for several years now. He is excellent, consistent and professional. I wouldnt trust my hair with anyone else. Highly recommend!
