I love coming here, the environment is amazing Chris has a fantastic staff and establishment

My first time here Hannah did a great job Im on my hair. She listened to me on what I wanted and made suggestions. This is the only place I will come to now.

Took me a long time to find a Barber shop that will give me what I want and not what they think I want. This place is awesome great cut and first time someone touched my beard besides me and it looks amazing will always go there for now on.

My shop now . Had go use another barber there than my usual. Boom still a great cut.

I love getting my hair cut here! Everyone is great at what they do, and they are all friendly.I especially love to visit Paymon. Besides everything I just mentioned he pays more attention to detail than any barber Ive had in all my 26 years. If you arent getting your haircut here, what are you doing?

Hannah,Did a great job on my hair and beard and look forward to coming back.

Great staff and really warm place to go in to and get a hair cut

Fast efficient friendly service and you seriously dont get hair all over yourself. The clippers are hooked up to a vacuum. Nice and there are places nearby to get a quick bite to eat afterwards. Plus the bus runs by there. Never a problem.

I got my hair cut at this place earlier today, and the service was phenomenal. The guy I had, Paymon, was an excellent barber, who actually listened to what I wanted. I showed him a picture of my preferred style (the one on the right) and he made it look exactly like it. Best barber Ive ever had!!

I got a great haircut and had a nice experience from Paymon. I’m going to be coming back for my next haircut and would recommend it for others.👍

Hannah is a Rockstar. Showed her a picture and BOOM he was me.Great attention to detail, beard and hair, solid work.

This is the best barber shop around. The staff is always professional and actually listens to you when you describe what you want. All the barbers here are dedicated to their craft and that dedication shows in the final product. I am always happy with my haircut and the price can’t be beat.

Chris is great with cutting hair! Very professional, and had a great conversation with him at the same time.

Best experience ever, ive been moving alot and this my 3rd state in 2 years and this kailee was so good. The best ive been too in a long time, absolutely perfect hair cut

The shop is clean and the barbers are very professional. Would recommend highly.

Definitely has got to be the most professional, clean and welcoming Barber Shop in town. Did try several of them before I settled at University City Barber Shop. My cuts from Chris are ALWAYS on point. All the Barbers there seem to have their own usual clientele that keep coming back for a reason and Im sure its because they always leave content. Do recommend this place and I have to friends and family and they have made it their own spot to get there haircuts.

Chris is super friendly and a really great barber, this was my first time going to University City and Chris was able to makey hair look exactly how I like it. I will definitely be back!

This is the best barber shop in the NIU area hands down. You cant go wrong sitting in anyones chair. Its nice to see everyone there is taking the pandemic seriously as well.

Weve been here a few times and well keep coming back. Weve had a couple of different barbers and theyve all done a great job.

Love coming here! I’ve had all the barbers cut my hair and no complaints for anyone. Friendly conversation, fun environment and the music doesn’t suck!

This is my go to barber shop for the last five years, its really a pro level shop and the real talent is Chris and Chewy, these two are legit. Jordan is a future prospect that is tightening up his cuts. I was pleasantly surprised on my last visit by the blonde lady barber I think her name is Kelsey? She gave my some a new style with a razor sharp fade. When I got home my wife was all over me. She had me looking good. Avoid the rookies in the back of the shop unless your getting a just because cut, however I do appreciate Chris coming over and giving feedback to the rookies, this shows pride and quality in his shop. Best barbers in the county.

Nice and clean always good experience

My first time going to University City Barber Shop getting my haircut.Kailee did a amazing job on my haircut I will be back

First time going there the barber I had nice guy but push my lining back and my sides I can tell he was new don’t think I will come back think his name was Jordan.

My 2 year old went nuts, but they handle his big head with care and he is even more Handsome

I’ve been going here for 25 years and I will never go anywhere else. Great prices, amazing barbers and a nice clean bright shop. I would recommend to everyone!

These guys are on their game. By far the best haircut. You are not going to find a better place . The atmosphere is awesome, the barbers, thats right barbers, are the best around. Listen if you need to get away from your old lady and want a relaxing and refreshing experience thats really affordable. This is it!

This was by far the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. The girl who cut my hair I believe was in training and took her time and did a great job, her work was reviewed and improved upon by a more experienced barber and the time and care spent on my hair and beard by them speaks volumes about the pride they take in their work. I’ll definitely be coming back.

There are not too many barber shops in the Dekalb area with barbers who know how to cut all grades of hair. University City Barbers does and they do an excellent job at it.

Always clean and timely. Rarely have to wait long and the haircuts are always superb

Came to try this place out for a new style I’ve never tried before. Chris, the stylist who has 15 years of experience with cutting hair, made the change in style extremely incredible. He was knowledgeable about what direction to take with my hair and what would come out looking good.I’m thoroughly impressed. The place is immaculate, the prices for product are really great, and the service is really great. I was in a line of 5 people and got in and out in less than 30 minutes.Whether your a college student, local, or just visiting, come see Chris and the university barber shop.

Hit up my man peymon for a fresh cut g

Loved my haircut, finally someone who can cut my hair even better than I asked for! I am so pleased and will for sure be back! Need a great haircut please come see them!

Chris was an amazing barber, he’s very experienced and gave me an incredible cut.

Love the vibe, greeted immediately upon arrival, made an appt on booksy, got in and out, fade is on point and my undercut is sharp. Def would recommend Chewy or Jordan!

Got an OUTSTANDING fade by Anthony! Dude is kinda new but can snap! This is refreshing because I kind of had a rocky experience there my last time in. but after reading the reviews it seems to be a trend with a barber that is no longer there. Staff if nice, and shop has a modern old school feel but could use some more TVs, got to keep up with the times.

I went in and got my hair cut well. 💈🪒 I just had to wait longer than I thought.

Great shop - Chris was lights out. Detailed. Clean. Recommended.

Chris is a great man. Took his time on my hair(drop fade, scissors on top, lineup, etc), and repeated everything back to me what I said. So we were on the same page. Quick and easy setup.

Great price with a friendly staff.

I love this place. Close to where I am living. Chewy and Kailee are great barbers. I highly recommend going in for a haircut. They care about your hair!

First time going here and best haircut I have ever had. Very professional and friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Hands down best Barbers in town! Great staff and great people. They truly care about their customers and their quality of work is always on point.

The best barber shop in dekalb Ive experienced! Chris cuts my hair and its always top notch. the location is perfect, right next to campus.

So it was a great place and really nice people but I had a new person cut my hair and made me miss class and kinda messed up the back of my head. I made sure to give them like an hour and half cause I didn’t want to miss class. like I completely understand you gotta learn and stuff but it’s just a little frustrating cause I had to pay for this and like I wasn’t really satisfied cause he was gonna leave my line up looking weird . I probably won’t go back ima just stick to just driving back to Chicago to go see my guy. But like everyone else there was doing really clean haircuts it was just my experience I’m pretty sure in a couple of month that new guy will become better.

GREAT haircuts and prime location right next to NIUs campus. Chris, Chewy, and the rest of the crew always provide a great service at fair rates. Ive been going here for the past 3 years, wouldnt go anywhere else in the area for a haircut. GREAT JOB GUYS!!

Kailee was really 👍 👍

Went in today looking for a new place to get my haircut and decided to stop by this barbershop because of the reviews and Im glad I did, though I get my hair styled in a simple way, alot of time barbers have trouble with my line up due to a scar and an inverted widows peak I have but the guy that cut my hair did a fantastic job and was real cool, I also usually dont converse with barbers, but this guy was real friendly and was able to both work and talk fluidly without making errors, dont know his name but he was a tall white guyPositives:Not expensiveGreat working staffStaff is also friendlyCleanGot seated at a station immediatelyNegative:Dont have options for razor(But understandable since many locations do not have that option, and the barber also stated that they might start using them soon)

Great place for a haircut and conversation.

Ive had first hand experience with most of their staff, and theyve all been fantastic. Truly devoted to working with their customers, even when theyre exceptionally picky (like myself).

I thought about driving the hour home for a cut at my usual place, but decided to go with a well-reviewed local place instead. I biked over, the wait was short, but two things really ruined my experience:As soon as I sat down the gentleman asked me how I usually keep my hair, what products I use (its curls around the edges, and goes afro if I dont use mousse). Before I could even say what I was in for or how I wanted it cut he proceeded to tell me I was ruining my hair and their product (holding it 3 inches from my face now that Im in the chair) was what I needed to buy. It took me 3 attempts to get him to confirm that I just wanted a 1/2 inch trim all around to tidy it up. If I was a regular and actually knew this guy, maybe Id want to take his advice. But on a first visit? Bad first impression.Haircut was horrendous. I have no hair, sitting here back at home. I asked for 1/2 inch (my hair was maybe 3/4 down my ears), and he just went to town. Im left with this tuft on top of my head, because he claimed he knew what would look good. That simply doesnt give you creative freedom when I ASKED for a simple trim. Its going to take a couple months for it to grow back, but I certainly wont be.

Ive been here before it was middle of winter went right in sat patiently I must say this is a blessed place to go just like Great Clips

Chewwy provided excellent service, staying after hours and not rushing even though he had to stay late. He took his time and made sure I liked what he was doing before he made any changes and did an excellent job on my hair and beard.

Definitely one of the best if not the best barber shop in town. There a variety of barbers and they have quite a skill for cutting hair (duh). One of the best and well known is Chewwy. I personally get Jorden since hes good and not that busy compared to Chewwy. My friend has gotten haircuts from Chewwy and is always on point, especially when it comes to style. Not a long wait but the barbers dont rush you out nor do they rush your haircut. I tend to come here once a month and the prices are fair and cheap.

I have been going here for a few months now and love how kailee does my hair and beard, don’t even have to tell her how i like it, as she just remembers every time! Friendly staff and highly recommend coming here

Best cuts in town

Ive been going to University City Barber Shop for years. All of the barbers are top notch and I wish my hair would grow faster so I could spend more time with them.

A very reliable place to get your hair cut. The barbers take their time and pay attention to detail to ensure you have a great experience and leave feeling super fresh.

Walked in the door and was immediately sat down for a haircut. I am very pleased with the out come and the guy who cut my hair took his time and made sure he got it right. Ten out of ten would recommend I am defiantly going here for future hair cuts.

Awesome service!

Great place great barbers

Love this place. My daughters loves Chuey! Great atmosphere, and professional staff

Best place in Dekalb for a great fade at the right price! I’ve been going to Chris for the last two years and don’t have any plans of going anywhere else. Definitely recommend University City Barber!

I have a standard part to the side combover haircut, I asked for a trim, zero fade and the guy cut all the hair off the left side of my head like im some 12 year old. Good thing I can wear a hat to work. Never coming back here.

Kinda long wait but worth the wait

There is a guy work there his name Aiman. He is the worst barber I ever have. Not clean. does not know what he is doing. smell bad. I did not see him clean the razor. tons of unorganized napkin in his drawer (you cannot whether it is clean or not).

Very nice people 👍

University City barber shop is great specially Kaylee has offered unbelievably good services to me so far and everyone else seem nice. Thanks!

Quality, experience and very detailed oriented. Great guest service, as well as very clean and comfortable environment.. I highly recommend.

Awesome place! I got right in and Chris has my hair dialed in. Will be back for sure!

My husbands hair and beard always looks so amazing when he gets it cut at University City Barber shop. Chris pays great attention to detail and always does a fantastic job.

Great Barbers highly recommend Chris. Just went there and he did a great job and was great to have a conversation with

First time stopping in. Had Chris cut my hair.Very pleased with haircut.probally best job in 46 years. Thanks and see u next timePermanent customer.

This place is hit or miss, every time I get the female barbers they either mess up my hair or give me something I didnt ask for. One of them I could tell she was new and was in training because another barber had to come over and cut my hair. This occurred many times during my visits here as it seemed people were avoiding her. Then theres another one that gives me cuts that I dont ask for, pretty frustrating paying 15 bucks for these cuts everytime.

Im not the type of person to get impressed with haircuts but I went there and it was very friendly environment but the haircut I got has got me multiple complements after just a few hours and I plan on continue my visit here it also raised my self esteem

Good place for hair cut. Services are so friendly and prices are soi reasonable.

Very quick, get the job done, all 5 barbers are great but chewwy, jordan and chris stand out the most. all around great place, perfect price, always walk out looking crispy

It is my first time here,the staff is so good and my look is very cool

Reasonable prices, highly accessible location, and a friendly and skilled staff. You sometimes have to wait a while if you go during their busier times, but thats more a testament to their popularity than any kind of criticism.

Been goin to this same barbershop since I was 8 Im 25 now almost 20 years Ive been coming and my Fades come out A1 TOP NOTCH no competition in the 815 area definitely worth a cutt for anyone who hasnt gone to this locationCHECK IT OUT!!!WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Great haircut. Very pleased

Always a fresh cut from my guy Chris. I recommend every one go to him for a great cut!

Excellent Barbers that will help you look good.

Great fades and haircuts. Great prices!

I always go to chewy but Chris and Jordan are also good

Great location and great staff - Chris and Chewwy are both fantastic barbers. Ive been coming here for a couple years and cant recommend it enough.

Worth the wait! Always a great haircut!

Been going here for 20 yrs. The service and quality are top notch. Ask for Chris, Chewy, Angie or Jordan.

Haircut was done to my satisfaction. Barbers work very well together .

This is my favorite place to go for beard triming and haircuts.

Chewwy gave me a good haircut :)

Great barber shop environment..Good barbers.

Ive been going to University City barber shop for a long time. Chris and the crew do a nice job.

Ive never gotten a better cut or even a comparable cut anywhere else, period. The few times Ive succumbed to infidelity I still ended up making the trip to University afterwards to have them cure the unwanted side effects of my promiscuity.

Great place for a real mans haircut. I go in to get my beard trimmed and head buzzed on occassion (Im just not that good at it myself) and though theres always a line, I usually get through quick, and they usually give me the buzz for free!

Great clups! Ha!

They are friendly and they listen to what kind of haircut you want. They dont rush you out of there.

Wait for Chris. Hes by far the best barber in DeKalb

Pros.

Awesome barbershop! Chewy and Chris are both great!!
