John Lucente's Barber Shop

Excellent cut for an affordable price. I received a cut from the owner and he was extremely friendly. I recommend coming here if you are looking for a barber in the Mundelein area!

This place made me feel really good and really bad at the same time. Good, because it’s hands down the best haircut and bread trim I have ever had. And bad, because I feel dumb for going to all these chain places for the past 20 years for a haircut, clipping coupons and pretty much rolling the dice every time I got a haircut. If you haven’t been to a real barber shop yet, just try it once. And if you’re in the area, try John’s. Love this place.

I have been going to this barbershop for over 40 years since moving to Mundelein in the 1970's. I'm not sure where the 'Sam' person went but it was certainly not John Lucente's: his barbers ALWAYS let you check the cut, they always ask a new customer how they want a cut, and the haircut is currently $15 plus tip and NOT $35. And Dom always watches when people come in so you don't have to say 'it's my turn now!' This shop may not be your style or cup of tea, but you will always get a good, efficient haircut for a decent price. And a bit of local gossip, if you wish!

Nice Old time barber shop. in and out quickly. Good haircut. Reasonable price

I have to admit three things: 1) I got a good haircut. 2) It was quick. 3) It was only $15 ($20 after tip). However, I told the barber to leave my cowlick alone because I was trying to grow it out so it would lay flat. I was a week or so away from that happening. Then he took out the clippers and essentially buzzed the cowlick. He whispered in my ear, "With cowlicks, you go short, not long. I know. I've been doing this 60 years. Any other barber who tells you to go long is no barber at all." And that is why I gave this place only two stars: The barber ignored what I told him. I will not be going back.
