Great service! initially and I brought in my younger son he’s two years old to get a haircut. It was great, he was fast efficient professional and this by far has been the best haircut my two-year-old has had. So naturally I’ve brought in my other two boys to get their haircut and literally the same great experience! It was great conversations, great music, very professional and friendly, he worked well with kids definitely will be coming back! The haircuts were awesome!

He was so welcoming and considerate to us today. My sons and I stopped in for haircuts as a walk in today. Great atmosphere and conversation. He connected great with us while cutting our hair. The haircuts were on point at a reasonable price. In and out time too. Makes going to the barbershop a great experience instead of a dreadful one. We will be returning to him for future haircuts. Thanks again sir.

My son was thrilled with his haircut. Mr. J kindly accepted him as a walk-in. While there, I had the opportunity to see him interact with several clients. It was obvious that they held him in high regard.

Jay was wonderful with my grandson ! He is a special needs child and most barbers are reluctant because of this. Jay took is time, he talked to my grandson. He was very understanding. Because he was so patient gentle and understanding with him, my grandson actually sat still for him.If you are a parent, you understand how important it is for a barber to be patient and kind with a child. My advice for you is to take them to Jay. The kids will love him.The hair cut looks fabulous!Thank you Jay!

Review №11

Big J is probably one of the most thoughtful, considerate barbers I ever had. Only fate brought me into his shop. I called three of my previous and all denied me cause they were too busy. I got my hair twisted at the shop across the street and ran over to Big J hoping he’d take me and sure enough he took me and three others behind me as well. I can see he was tired and probably worked himself too hard. But he said he had no problem helping his community. After giving me a good line up and good conversation with some good oldies music I could probably say this is the best experience I’ve gotten in a long time at a barbershop.Today day my sister asked me to get my nephew a cut so I called the same guys I did before and still couldn’t take me because it was late. I drove around Chicago frantically hoping to grab someone and at 8 o’clock I walk in with my nephew, saw his tired eyes with his wife beside him and was about to turn away.. he told me “come on son I ain’t gone deny you” and cut my nephew’s hair (with no notice might I add)!! I just met this big guy yesterday and I already love him. This is Oak Park’s best barber and he definitely loves the kids. I can see us starting off to a great friendship!!!!Please and especially if you got kids… come

I visited Magnificent Barber Shop with my pre-school aged son after reading the reviews. As a mom with a young son finding the right barber with both the skill and the patience is a tall order. Big J checked both those boxes and more! He is patient; provided great customer service; and gave my son a great (and fast) cut. His years of experience are truly on display with every customer. If youre looking for a barber for your son(s) I highly recommend him.

Cuts get better and better every time I sit in the chair. Real chill atmosphere, good conversation, good music, great work. Big J gets you in and out in good time, but never rushes the cut and treats walkins like long time customers.

My son needed an emergency haircut and Mr. Jamie welcomed him with open arms. His service was great and the cut was more than I expected. My son liked it so much he decided to make this is permanent barber. The environment of Magnificent Barber Shop is very relaxing. Anytime we’re there for service, everyone is always respectful. Thanks Mr. Jamie

For over 30 years I have been getting my hair cut at Magnificent, for the last 20 Jamie has been kept me coming through that door. I get tapered, my kids get fades, my dad even comes through to get a cut. Jamie is a class act and the conversation on top of the cut makes the 45min drive well worth it. My kids deserve that true Barbershop experience, Magnificent isnt just the name, it is the experience!

Review №21

Jay is the best! Jay cuts my hair and my three sons who range in age from teenager down to pre-K and everyone leaves thrilled with their haircuts. Jay is great as a first barber for kids as he works fast and gives them a great cut. They feel good about themselves leaving and can’t wait to show Mom their haircuts each time we go. We can’t recommend Jay enough for families in Oak Park who need a good barber!

Review №22

Magnificent is just that... magnificent! I’ve been coming for years, and now have my son going. Big J is the real deal, cuts right, and is attuned to every customer’s needs. The sheer professionalism of this owner is what keeps me coming back. And get this - when I was out of work for most of 2020, but needed to get my kid’s hair done right, Jay worked with me. I’m forever grateful for that; he calls it straight and it’s why I go back. Every. Time!I just went today to tell Big J I got a job and know what he said to me?? ‘... I saw it, knew you would land, you just didn’t see it...’ Who does that??? This dude!! If you’re looking for a stand up, no nonsense, straight up cut-my-hair-right guy, Big J is his name, cutting hair right is his Magnificent game. Don’t sleep on this!

I’ve been going to this shop to get my hair cut for nearly 20 years. Jamie (aka “Big J”) the owner and Master Barber, keeps the shop clean, and makes it a welcoming environment for men and women. Big J can cut any kind of hair (and I do mean “any” kind).He gets a well-earned 5 stars from me.

I brought my 3.5 year old son to Msgnigicient for a haircut and he is still getting used to the experience. J was extremely patient with him. He even gave him a piece of candy for pushing through his haircut. It is so refreshing to find an establishment that still values customer service. We will definitely be repeat customers.

For the past 20 years I have depended on barbering services at Magnificent for myself and my two sons. I travel often but I will get my hair cut before I leave or wait till I get back to have my hair cut at by Jaime Jones. He has modeled his shop appearance to appeal to all customers men and women.

Review №41

Love going to Magnificent and getting my hair cut by Big J! He’s very professional and very proficient at his job. When you get a hair cut from him it’s clear that he has a lifetime of experience under his belt. I’m relatively new to the area and when I found him I knew I didn’t need to go anywhere else. Even after such a short time of seeing him he already knows how I like my hair cut and I rarely have to tell him what I am looking for. Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Review №44

I’ve been a client for close to 10 years with the now owner (Big J) being my barber. I get the same haircut every time. His prices are NEVER posted. Yet his price for the same haircut increases by $5-$10:00 every visit. Additionally he’s always begging for a tip. To me, tipping is optional. He isn’t considerate enough to think that with this pandemic and massive unemployment, that any extra money I might have isn’t ear marked for tipping. So he shames me and other customers to give him a tip. I always go home after his haircut and have to use my home clippers to get hair on the side of my head behind my ears off. He was very good years ago, but he’s gotten money hungry and skills are slipping. I’m already researching for a new barber

The best barber shop in town. The owner Big J is the most professional barber I have encountered in years. Service is personalized and J makes you feel comfortable. He treats you like you are the most important person in the shop. The shop has an old school feel that doesnt exist in other shops. J is very efficient timely and listens to what style or cut you are wanting. He plays old school jans which is also nice. Stop by and give him a try....you wont be disappointed!

We live in Virginia and when we come to Chicago there is no one else that I want to cut my sons hair. My family has known Jamie, Big J for many years.

Review №59

I was a walk in 2 years ago. I really didnt know what kind of cut I wanted, but Jamie sat me down and hooked me up. I have had a lot of styles, but as a female who wears short hair, he is very careful to maintain my femininity with the short cuts and being able to give me the exact look I want even when I dont know. The atmosphere is always nice, the shop is very clean, & inviting. I used to live around the corner from the shop, but moved 35-40 away.....but I STILL drive to Magnificent for my cut bcuz I know I will always walk out a satisfied customer.

The owners (Jamie) scheduled visit approach is not common in the barber industry (not sure why) but when he offered this to me with my busy schedule, it was exactly what I needed. I have been seeing Jamie for many years now and I always get what I expect: A great hair cut, a great conversation, and professionalism. All delivered in a safe neighborhood in a well maintained barbershop. He clearly stands above his competition and receives my highest recommendation for anyone who needs a fresh haircut.
