Irving Park Barbershop

I had Angelo, and low key I feel like he kinda rushed at cutting my hair, and it’s not like I have a shit-ton of hair it’s the fact that I almost paid $50 for a hair-cut I could have gotten at Supercuts for $27. It’s okay to be rushy, but at least do a good job, I wanted a zero on the sides nothing on top, and have him kinda blend the top part with my head, but he just used the machine and didn’t even bother blending it, and once he saw he had a new customer, I got the sense he needed me out of the chair, I understand it’s a service, but I will definitely know better not to come somewhere where I’m just seen as a number especially when the person who did this service for you looks very similar to you. It low key stings.

After trying several shops, this is my go-to. Every barber is first-rate, and the vibe is very chill.

Been going to Jon since they were at their old location. Friendly chill barbers. Bob is always chill when he's in the shop. Even though I'm now in the burbs, I still will only come here for a nice cut.

This was my favorite barbershop but the last time I went, the guy cut half my hair. I'm not joking- he only cut the left side and I had to ask him to cut the right, so he took a buzzer to it. And this was right before a trip out of town so I couldn't go back- had to re-cut it myself. Good barbershop if you don't get the guy with the longish hair and the hat. I left an $8 tip and I'm still salty about it.

Nice guys, relaxed atmosphere, great haircuts for a great a price. Just be warned that 1) there will be a line at most times of day (because of the aforementioned pluses) and 2) they only take cash. Well worth the trip to the ATM, though.
