7th29 Barbershop

An excellent barbershop. Thomas has been my barber for many years. I get a great cut every time. Visiting his shop is a pleasure. He has personally restored the beautiful vintage barber chairs. I always look forward to my visits.

Have been coming here every couple of weeks for the last few months to see Brian. Easy walking location in the Loop, nice building with security, and up the elevator on the 7th floor. Very reasonable pricing for the area for a barber (doesn't come with the wash, if you require that) and super easy to schedule and navigate their site. Brian does a great job in ensuring he knows what I'd like done each time and asking for feedback throughout the cut. The shop is tidy and well run, and has a dim relaxing vibe too it with your old school barber feel. Highly recommend!

After a haircut at this barbershop, I developed folliculitis — an inflammation of the hair follicles. I had been coming here a few times before and everything seemed fine. The place looked a bit worn out, but I thought it wasn’t a big deal. Turns out, it was. It seems that the tools were not properly disinfected, and already that same evening after the haircut, I felt soreness on my scalp. By the next day, red spots appeared, and by the third day, it was clear this wasn’t simple irritation — the inflammation spread, some spots turned white, and my scalp hurt when I touched it. Interestingly, the folliculitis appeared only on the sides of my head — probably the exact area where the short fade was done. Looks like the tool used for trimming those parts was contaminated. I learned that it

Tomas is a great barber and such a gentleman. He is skilled and patient. My husband has gone to him for years and he has never been disappointed.

I was looking for a barbershop to do a very short female cut but I was worried about feeling uncomfortable in a barbershop as a female. I loved this place and the privacy of each booth! Tomas did a wonderful job on my hair and was so easy going and nice.
