ALL. STAR. SERVICE! I got my hair and beard cut/styled for my wedding coming up this weekend and Ahmad made me look like a rock star! Mike was super helpful as well, telling me a bit about the style and product I could use. The shop is clean and modern, although I wish COVID wasnt happening because it seems like an amazing place to hang out and talk with the guys. I went from having long hair for 3+ years, taking a risk in cutting it off before the biggest event of my life, and the crew at Shine On made me feel (and look) like a million bucks. You got yourself a new client for sure!

Where to start, the place itself is super clean and the staff is very nice. My barber Mike was amazing. Barber skills were on point. My haircut and beard were both on β€œfleek”! I knew he was officially legit when he used a hot towel on my face and neck before lining me up with a razor. This is the necessary in order to prevent razor bumps and just overall discomfort when shaving/lining. He was recommended by a friend and definitely did not disappoint. If you need a πŸ”₯ barber, this is the place to go!

Review β„–9

Watch out! I booked a haircut at this place after seeing its positive reviews. When I arrived, I was placed with a barber. Halfway through the cut, he casually mentioned that he was training. I repeat: only after the haircut was halfway over did the barber mention that he was a trainee.The trainee proceeded to cut my hair unevenly, such that my hair looked nothing like the photo I showed the barber before the session began. When I asked a more experienced stylist to fix it, the more experienced stylist (presumably the owner) became noticeably angry and told me, as if he were annoyed that I wanted my haircut to be done to my liking, that they only provide 30 min intervals.Why did the person who booked my appointment over the phone not tell me that my hair would be cut by an inexperienced trainee? Why did the owner not mention something that anyone would consider to be important when deciding whether to get a haircut at his or another barbershop?When I went to pay, the receptionist asked me how I liked the haircut, to which I replied that it was sub par and disappointing. They didn’t do anything to fix the situation (do they not want new customers?). Shine On’s ownership/management is unprofessional and don’t appear to be concerned with providing a quality service or with retaining new clients.If youre reading this, save yourself the risk (as well as the money) and go to Funk’s downtown for a great cut and exceptional service. Professionalism and candor go a long way.

This was my first time, and the expectation was exceeded for me. Expertise, precision and quality is what youll find here! One-stop-shop for hair, beard and brows. One note: cash only tips so be prepared because they deserve it, 100%.

Mike’s passion to detail and current trends are incomparable. He strives to perfection with each customer. He has a such a loyal customer base (including myself) that we book the year through to guarantee his services. His haircuts and shaves not only define the modern man but are also quite rejuvenating.

Review β„–15

I’ve been going to Shine on for just about a year now. I found this gem of a barber shop as I now go to school in Chicago. Mike is very professional, cool, and very nice. However, he is even more so an amazing barber. Finding a barber has always been difficult for me as I am Asian, and Asian hair is difficult to cut. But, Mike has always been doing a wonderful job on my hair, and even does better every single time, which definitely shows how skilled he is. The shop is always spotless, and everyone is always cheerful and happy, welcoming guests like they are family. That being said, I am originally from Wisconsin, about 2 and a half hours away and even during the summer I venture down here to get my hair cut. That alone should paint the picture of how great this place is.

Review β„–16

100% satisfaction! Eddie has been cutting my hair for the past 6 months and I could not ask for more from the Shine On Team. Mike the founder takes pride in his business and it truly shows in the work that he does AND the work that Eddie does. Eddie has taught me a lot about my hair and brought my hair styling game up! The facility is always clean, organized and an overall a welcoming environment. They are very accommodating with my busy schedule and if youre looking for a new barber or not satisfied with your current I would highly recommend you schedule and appointment now!

I have been going to Shine On for a little over a year now. They opened up their salon in my neighborhood so I decided to check them out and lets just say that I will never look for another barber again. Ive explored so many different barbershops and salons in the past only to never be 100% satisfied with the result. That changed with Shine On on my first visit.The first few times I went in, I let Mike experiment with my hair as I wanted to see what he could do with it. He did things with my hair that I didnt think were even possible! I have really curly hair and I never imagined that I would want to grow out my curls, but we are now on hairstyle #2 and I love it!Mike and his team are some of the nicest people youll meet. Very professional, talented, and creative. They make it easy to schedule an appointment through their website and offer a variety of services. Their salon is modern and trendy and they will make you feel welcome the moment you open the door.

The staff make you feel at home, a pre-cut bev if youre 21+. Javier took care on the hair and beard trim, lined up the .5 and took time to go over his work a few times and be certain the cut was fresh. Highly recommend the cuts from here.

It’s no surprise to see the success they’ve are having.Started at the bottom and is now one of the best in the game.Get your Shine On baby!!

Amazing barber shop. Everyone that works here is extremely professional and the shop has a great vibe. Pleasant receptionist, and extremely talented barbers. I got a cut from Eddy. Good guy, took his time cutting my hair with great attention to detail. Mike was there guiding him through the cut, and he checked everything out when it was done. Mike and his staff are extremely talented. Mike gave me suggestions on my hair.... and in all honesty.... hes probably the most talented barber that I have met. Extremely happy that I found this place and all the positive reviews are LEGIT. This place is awesome. I found my spot!!

Noah really knows what he’s doing with his haircuts. I will be a regular here now after my first shine on experience. Definitely recommend it. I left the salon feeling like a new person. Veronica is a sweetheart and will always make sure you’re comfortable throughout all the things: mani,pedi, eyebrows, facial all of it ! 10/10 experience.

Mike is great and makes my hair look super, but I have had two appointments where he was not available for his reservation slot and I was asked if another barber could cut my hair instead. I had to say no the second time.

I have not been to a proper barber in some time and wanted a great buzz & beard trim. Called in the morning and they were able to fit me in, very friendly. Eddie really took care of me, advice on the beard and a great trim. I was really happy with the whole experience. Highly recommend this place.

Both Mike and Veronica are amazing and welcoming from the moment you walkβ€”incredibly talented and creative in their respective ways. I have been coming here for a few months now and I am set here forever.

Noah is the best barber in town! I’ve been a loyal customer of Noah’s for 6 years and I’m so happy that he finally opened his own shop! He keeps up with haircut/hairstyle trends and he pays super close attention to details with your haircut. You’re guaranteed THE best haircut at Shine On and you’ll leave the barber shop feeling like a new man. Noah is the only barber that I trust with my hair.If you need your eyebrows cleaned up or a facial, Veronica is your gal. I’ve been going to her for eyebrow threading and she never disappoints!Make sure you book an appointment online and leave them a nice tip!

Review β„–32

I come here to get what I think is the best haircut in town. Noah cuts my hair and styles it so meticulously, I feel like Im wearing a piece of art. He is incredibly skilled and has an eye for which style works best for you. So if youre not sure what style to get, which was me in the past, you can trust him to make you look sharp. Veronica takes her time to thread my eyebrows perfectly, and for me thats really important because I have bushy eyebrows. I dont want feminine looking brows and she knows exactly how to clean them up.The salon has a barbershop feel but is comfortable and trendy, unlike most shops Ive been to. However, its not pretentious at all. Veronica asked if I wanted some coffee. I hadnt had my morning coffee yet so I gladly said yes. She brought me hot coffee and baklava while I waited. They have an online appointment system which is easy to use. I had just enough time to enjoy my coffee and baklava before I was up to get cut.A local gem, friendly people and professional service. They treat you like family when you walk in, and they make you feel like a million bucks when you walk out.

Review β„–33

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST barbershop in Chicago! I’ve hopped from barber to barber for the past 3 years, because i could never find someone that cuts my hair like i want it to be cut. In my line of business where i sell custom clothing, image is everything. When i was referred over to Mike, i was very happy i went! Not only do they do an amazing job, but they are friendly and always have a positive and clean shop! Mike was out of town once, and i had my haircut by Javier and was extremely satisfied. Go see these guys! And make sure to do the whole shine on package, you walk out like a brand new man! I’d give them 100 stars if i could! Thanks for keeping me dapper gents!

I am new in the neighborhood and have been searching for a barber for months! Never knew Shine-On was so close to home. I booked my appointment with Mike. This was the best decision Ive ever made! He is friendly, stylish and a Master Barber/Stylist. He did such an amazing job with my haircut! Thanks, Mike! I look forward to getting another haircut from you very soon!

Review β„–36

Mike is hands down the best if not one of the best barbers in Chicago! Having recently moved to the city I was in the need of a new barber but after trying several recommended barbers in the area I couldn’t find one that knew how to cut my thick hair to the quality I was used to. Shine On was a newly opened shop down the street from where I lived so I decided to give it a shot. Mike fixed my hair on the first day. He truly knows how to cut and style any type of hair. On top of that he is knowledgeable and listens to you. He has elevated my expectations of barbers and far surpassed any of my previous barbers. My only complaint is that there is just one of him because I won’t be going to anyone else from now on.

I am new to the area and I decided to check out the place with perfect reviews. Javier listened to all of my thoughts on what I wanted and did an amazing job. Although I have been getting tons of compliments, they are all from my girlfriend. I think she thinks she is cheating on the old me with the new me, but I am the same guy. Im partially kidding. I am though not kidding when I say I am very happy with the result and will be coming back. Very detail oriented and made me feel comfortable in a new look.

Wow. I literally just left. Where do I begin. First of all, they have their own parking. Huge plus in the city. When I walked in I couldnt help but just look around at first. The place is really cool and well designed and extremely clean. My appointment was with Javier. I had a cut and a beard shave. Ive been to quite a few barbers in the city but I feel like I finally found my spot. I was greeted immediately when I walked in. The service was spot on. The prices were extremely fair for this quality of cut and service. I will definitely be back. Total gem.

Had my first beard trim and line up at Shine On today and it was incredible. I had gotten a beard trim at a local barbershop 2 weeks ago and it seemed like they were just concerned with getting me in and out of the chair. Javier at Shine On asked me every detail about how I wanted my beard and did an expert job of getting it exactly right. I will be back as soon as I need a shape up.

What a phenomenal experience. I went in and got the full Shine On Experience, and they did a great job. It was my first time getting a facial, mani, or Pedi, and Veronica was not only an expert at performing all three services, but she also made me feel quite comfortable as she did them.Since I went on a weekend, Tony was also working as a barber that day and he gave a great haircut, with close attention to detail for my hair.
