Awesome experience. The barbers here are absolute pros at their jobs. They walk around you several times to ensure the cut looks the way you want it, fine tune it, all before showing it to you.
Everybody was really nice and personable. Just a relaxed great atmosphere. Highly recommend. All the chairs were full and a small wait. Great bar next door to kill the time.
Its a barbershop with a bar in it. whats not to like? they do a good job at both aspects of their business. Cool downtown atmosphere. good barbers, good bartender, Ive never had consistent barber, but I love going back and will continue too get my hair and wisky made neat there
I bring my 2 boys here for haircuts.(ages 10 and 5).Ben and Lance are awesome! My kids dont like going anywhere else. They only want to come here. I definitely recommend this place, we wont go anywhere else!
Great barbershop. The guys are all super sharp with their skills. $20 for a trim. Definitely worth going to if you need your ears lowered.
Friendly, professional, fairly priced, and accurate. Haven’t liked a haircut this much in years.
Fast quality hair cut. Nothing like a good shot of Jameson after to top it off..
Fantastic location near the state capital building. Parking in rear of building guest parking is in the spaces away from the building but not in alley.
Great service, atmosphere and value. Real barbershop feel with great staff.
Outstanding barbershop! Awesome customer service. Complete barbershop treatment and every barber does amazing work!
They have Great service and the haircut was awesome 👍
Best barbershop in Springfield in my opinion. I always say next available barber, and am never disappointed in a cut
Im absolutely stunned by the quality of my haircut. I just finished a round of chemotherapy so Ive been growing my hair and beard out. Logan did an amazing job sculpting (yes, sculpting like an artist) my hair & beard to look nice and full. I had several spots that hair was still thinning, but he made my hair look better than before chemotherapy! Ive given my business to three established barbers over five years within Springfield; Ive now found the one! I wish I could have tipped him double!
First time in this shop and it was great! Logan hooked it up! Will definitely be back!
Waited for over an hour for nothing.. the barbers are great but the queue guy (3/6) is the worst! Been sitting there for over an hour not knowing that he took me off the list (cuz he said he called me already) and when I noticed that people has been passing by me, he said he’ll put me back on the list (and yes at the very bottom of the list again so i have to wait for another probably more than an hour again so i just left), he’s very unorganize and poor with communicating with customers. Worst waiting and experience in a barber shop seriously!
My favorite places to get a haircut. That and get a drink while you wait or after. Amazing staff
Jeremy runs a professional shop with that old time barber feel.
Quality hair cuts for men at a reasonable price.
First time in the barber shop. There is little to no organization. Waited over an hour to watch 5+ people go ahead of me that arrived after me. Would’ve been understandable if they took appointments. When I asked what the hold up was, they stated”that’s what you get for a Friday night” from the helper “not every barber wants new clients.” Per the owner. This all took place while I watched workers/barbers drinking while at work. Zero professionalism and zero customer service. End result, no haircut. I wouldn’t recommend anyone here.
Best choice in town for a classic mens haircut! Always great service and excellent job!
Great cut and barbers!
Great haircut for great price. Better than other chain barbershops
Fantastic cut from Tyler as always. During COVID they have a really good procedure for keeping people safe and they are all adhering to it which is more than I can say for most other places.
Everyone there does a great job with whatever cut you need. The bar is what makes the place, however. Friendly staff, a great variety of drinks to imbibe, and a laid back, old-fashioned feeling with decor to match.
He took his time.
They are highly skilled craftsmen in their craft and I see how they give newbies hands on training. I like my favorite craftsman Logan and love the bar!
Best place in town for a haircut. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly, place is clean. Can’t beat it! I personally go to Tyler, he’s the man. But all of their work is top notch, never seen a bad head of hair walk out of there.
Never have a problem here. These guys are awesome!
The staff on all sides of the business are very friendly. The barbers do a phenomenal job of listening to what I want and they have always delivered.
Walked up today fully expecting a wait time. Gentlemen in line in front of me was told “I’ll cut you in 25-30 min” when It was my turn to place my name on the list was told “since your my first time You will have a 2 hour wait “ trash customer service will not return again. Taking my business else where
Only place my boyfriend can ever seem to get his hair done right... And their so sweet to my youngest son. Highly recommend
I honestly dont know how this place has such good reviews. My bf literally has an uneven chili bowl and the fade is terrible/non-existent. Just an insane haircut
Nice, convenient, conversation and a great bartender!!!
Made an appointment for a cut and shave. Got me in on time, if not early. He took his time and made sure it was cut perfectly. Shave was great. Wish I could’ve stopped at the bar. I’ll definitely be back. Worth every penny.
Ive been going to this shop for over a year now and no intention of going anywhere else. Awesome atmosphere with vintage signage and great blues, classic rock and country playing and of course super friendly staff!
Tyler has cut my hair a couple of times now and does an amazing job. My wife won’t let me go anywhere else. Had to wait a bit but the lounge was comfortable and relaxing while I wait. Couldn’t ask for a better place or a better barber.They do get really busy after 5 so if you can get in before that. No complaints it is wellWorth the wait!!!
Very cool place. From out of town and needed a haircut so chose this place based on the fact that they have a bar right there. How can you go wrong? Got a great cut at a great price in about 15min. Perfect.
Great place, been going here ever since it opened, Ive never had a bad experience, there is almost always someone available if you need to get in and out fast, and they are friendly. I usually ask for Tyler when I go but, I have used the other barbers plenty of times. They all do a great job and Jeremy does a great job training them up to his standards. Prices are more then fair, I would 100% always recommend this place if anyone asked for a good place to get a nice haircut.
Great bunch of Guys and Ladies work here cutting hair and serving up tasty beverages. Cheap to get you hair cut and nice old school atmosphere.
It was a great time
They cut my hair I had to go home and finish fixing that their service was great There to ancients to finish and keep going to finish everybody else
Logan is a master of his craft. He shaped and trimmed my unkempt beard and I keep getting complimented. I’ve never had a bad haircut from him either. I would definitely recommend this place and asking for him specifically.
This shop is the absolute amazing! Jeremy is awesome, but Ive had great cuts from Tyler too! Well worth the trip! Having a beer while you wait or taking a few home is the best! I find it hard to believe anyone else stays in business with such a great shop!
Really enjoyed this establishment. Did a great job in a short time timeframe at an extremely affordable price. We were able to have a pint while we waited as well. Nice job! Also gotta say the name is clever!
Love this place. The barbers are very friendly and do amazing work!
Not an in and out barbershop but the great atmosphere and bar attached make it a amazing experience. Well priced drinks and great barbers as well.
Hair of the dog is the only place in town that I will let touch my hair. Jeremy is always so professional and an amazing barber. Today I went in for my normal monthly cut, but also brought in my 7 month old to get a cut as well. Tyler stepped up to the plate and did an amazing job and had great patience with my very observant son. Hes always looking around noticing things and he was literally trying to watch Tyler cut his hair. As long as Hair of the dog is open I wont go anywhere else. Plus you can get a drink while you wait... cant beat that.
Neat place, good haircuts!
Great service!
Always super nice staff and always happy with my hair after.
Great fades. The entire staff is really good.
First time. Logan did a fantastic job cutting my hair. He listened to what I wanted and asked questions. I have a strange haircut and he cut it exactly to my request. Great people watching while in the chair. I recommend him for your barber, just not when I need him😁.
This is the best place in town. Clean cuts and good people. Been going to Jeremy for over 3 years and always ask for the joke of the week.
Went in for the first time this week, and I must say Im impressed. Friendly staff, great cut. If youre looking for a modern take with old school techniques, this is your shop. Tyler did my cut, and Ill definitely be asking for him again.Dont forget to stop in the bar for a drink while you wait!
Great shop! I just took my grandson. He was pretty nervous but the barber did a great job and put him at ease almost immediately. Very professional without a long wait. I would like to take my husband there.
My sons, age 7 and 8, had their best haircuts at Hair of the Dog. They were very professional and kind while they walked the kids through their cool fade cuts. One barber showed how the last haircut was uneven and she fixed it and explained the process. Great vibe and cool surroundings...will definately return!
Excellent hair cut and fade. I love that they have a bar attached. However the bartender was very rude and standoffish.
You can have a beer or mixed drink while you wait, what is not to like? If you are halfway through your drink when you are called, they will hold your drink on ice or i. The cooler until you are done. They also do a pretty good haircut. They also have a game room if you get bored. The only thing they are missing are slot machines to play to pass the time.
The only barbershop I go to anymore. The staff is very professional, talented, and approachable. It reminds me of the old school barbershops my father took me to when I was younger. Prices are good to, get a haircut and a beard trimming for under $20.
Cool bar adjacent to the barber shop with a vintage antique interior. Lots of nice detail work in the space, original tin ceilings, woodwork, and a porcelain tap tower. Eight or so great beers on tap, including a couple of locals from Hand of Fate. The only downside is they close at 2pm on Sat., so get a cut and a beer early.
My son absolutely loves the haircut he gets and the service here.
Its pretty epic
First ever hair cut in Springfield, IL. This is the place to go. Professional and very friendly and sincere. Very good quality of work for the price. Will definitely recommend. Thanks kathy
The best barber shop in town. Everyone the is amazing. You owe it to yourself to go there.
Awesome job, great price, and a pretty cool environment too. Found my permanent place to have my hair and beard cut.
Great atmosphere! Awesome barbers!
Awesome haircuts! I am so sad that I usually get my hair cut during the weekday on my lunch break, or I would totally partake in a beer while I wait for a haircut. The barbers are all very nice. I’ve had some bad experiences with barbershops not willing to cut women’s hair (even though I have a men’s haircut) but these guys treat me very well each time I come in. Cheap and fast. I highly recommend them!
Never been able to get a good haircut here after trying 3 times and always told I can’t have it cut exactly how I’d like
Great cuts, fantastic layout especially the idea of having a social gathering area that serves beer and sodas right next door with a walk through. ONLY DRAW BACK - customers are turned away because they are only open during hours most people work. Then you get turned away at the times when you the customer are off work and available to have your hair cut. They do not take appointments so, Call first - to check the wait time ! Additionally the barbers are not very social, but you cant have everything!They say they have limited downtown reserved (marked) parking just north of the shop...
Great haircuts. Great service. Great atmosphere. Love these guys!!!
Jeremy and Logan are the only people that touch my hair. Best bald face in central Illinois
Cool place especially 4 spfld Illinois. Jeremy is awesome. Thnkdb4 the beard oil & telling me to wait a couple months on trimming my beard because I want it long. You could have just trimmed it but u honesty was refreshing.
Could be a lot better but other than being frequently busy, it also could be a lot worse! The only problem is that its hard to get a appointment here due to the hours and the high amount of customers.
Great shop with talented barbers. Went in the first time to fix a bad hack job at another shop. They fixed me right up, and the next time in, they remembered my last visit, why I came there in the first place, and how I got my hair cut. Definitely wont be going anywhere else in town.I havent even tried the bar yet.
Ive been looking for a new barber shop and I think Ive found my new home. They were professional, clean shop, and fast. I didnt get to enjoy a drink this time but next time I definitely will.
Great place to get a hair cut and hang out. Bar area is nice and the back room and bar area are a great place to relax while you wait for your turn. I only go here for my hair cuts anymore.
Unbelievably smooth process and incredible cut! Wont take my son anywhere else now.
Super cool place, you get in and out quickly. Definitely would go again! Great experience.
The vibe is unique, service is great, and Ive always been happy with my haircut. Jeremy has been my barber for almost 4 years. Hes a great barber and runs an excellent shop.
Great cuts. Great service. Great prices... and you can have a beer while youre at it. Reasonable price. Ill definitely be back.
Sent my son (with waist-length hair) to these guys... I got back a neatly buzz-cut young man with a Locks of Love donation. The Hair of the Dog guys were so sweet to help with this!
Im from outta state and they welcomed me in like a normal! Place is a great traditional barber shop!
Unique atmosphere which combines retro and hip chic. The barbers are all well trained professionals. The restaurant/bar section has a lounge and is a great place to wait.
Loves these guys! They always give great cuts.
I always get a great cut here. Very hip and stylish. The bar is nice but somewhat awkwardly attached.
Great place.
Jeremy runs a fantastic establishment. The wait is usually pretty long if youre waiting for a cut from the owner, but its always worth it. Havent had a bad cut yet.
The HotD crew are more then Amazing....They are Family! And there is not much better then a cold drink to go with a great hair cut!!!
Very patient with a three year old.
Great haircuts and a shave. Worth trying at least once. Only place I get my haircut anymore.
Have a beer while you wait for the best cut in town at a great price.
They always do a great job on my husbands hair. He loves this place.
Great place to get a haircut. Logan does an awesome job!
Where else has the old fashioned look and can go drink a beer while you wait to get your hair cut? This place is awesome!!
Nice location downtown with private parking. I was able to walk in, get a haircut, and be on my way in 25 minutes!
Logan is legendary!
Real classy establishment. Hang out, grab a beer, snag a haircut and move on.
Normally a great spot. New guy jacked me up a bit which I understand but shouldnt be price of a pro cut.
