This was my first time at his barber shop and it’s very laid back space and you work directly with Sam.

He works by appointments so no wait time or worries.

Highly recommended!“

“The shop’s hours were incorrect on google, and I showed up right when they were closing on accident. Fortunately, the last barber working, Wallace, said he’d stay longer to take care of my hair. He gave me a great cut and showed an excellent gesture of customer service when he did not have to. I will be returning to this shop for my haircuts in the future.

Requested style: Hightop fade“

“I recently visited the salon for a fade haircut and was absolutely thrilled with the result. The barber was a true professional, taking his time to ensure every detail was perfect. He skillfully blended the sides from almost bare skin to a fuller length on top, creating a sleek and modern look that was both sharp and sophisticated. The precision of the fade made it stand out, giving me a clean, fresh feel that I've received countless compliments on. Thanks to Michael the barber !!“

“Good place to relax while cutting your hair everything is clean good customer service My barber Yeison“

I’ve been getting a cut from this guy for a couple years now. Would recommend!

“After reading numerous positive reviews, I went directly from the airport to Jay's Barber Shop, and I can confidently say it was the right decision. Person who cut my here is not only a fantastic barber but also incredibly humble and kind. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease.

The fade I got was perfect—precisely what I wanted. He attention to detail and skill are truly impressive. My barber took his time to ensure I was completely happy with the result—you can tell he genuinely loves his job. The atmosphere in the shop is relaxed and friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable.

Coming all the way from Seattle, I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the services were compared to back home. Additionally, the shop was easy to find, and parking was a breeze.

If you’re looking for a top-notch barber who delivers excellent service with a genuine smile, look no further than Jay’s Barber Shop. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in town! I forgot to ask my barber name but it appears all of them there are amazing!!!“

Stylist: Noel, he did a fantastic job!“

“I’ve been getting my haircut consistently from Erick now. He’s very attentive in collaborating with you to get your desired cut. The key word is collaborating, which is very refreshing to get from my barber. Not only that, he’s a great conversationalist and I always feel relaxed and confident after leaving the appointment. Talented guy!“

“I was there for a Hair cut and beard trim. I was pleased with both. I will continue to patronize this barber shop. The overall quality, cleanliness and friendliness was top notch.“

“This place is clean and serene.

Requested style: I’m a fade person.

Stylist: My stylist is Jimmy. He’s an absolute ARTIST. After my barber of 30 years passed away, I searched for over a year for a good barber and stylist. A coworker recommended JIMMY. Once JIMMY did my hair the first time, I knew my search for a new barber was over. I had finally found a real BARBER/STYLIST. He truly is an ARTIST.“

Stylist: John is excellent“

“If you are seeking a clean, professional and phenomenal experience cut, I highly recommend Prohibition Barber“

“I love it their super kind I love how they cut my kids hair and my kids love it ? ? recommend it“

“This shop caught my eye in insta a while back (when I still had it, and boy do I recommend deactivating that $#!+ ). Was visiting Chicago and knew I had to carve out getting a haircut here. Was nervous asking for a flat top, in part because of boldness of the cut, but also because my hair is on the fine side and I was worried it maybe wouldn't work. It's been a bucket list haircut though. Dan assessed my hair before and assured me it would work, and he delivered!!! I was glowing when I left. I feel so studly and badass. Dan was really patient, took his time, and was great about taking the top down a bit shorter when I asked (which is no quick easy task for a flat top). He even texted around for shops recs so I can keep up this look in LA. Just a really nice guy. The shop is also super clean and beautiful. This haircut was the last thing I did before leaving Chicago and was truly the cherry on top of an amazing weekend there. Would absolutely get another cut here next time I'm in town!“

“Barber Ambitionz is a professional, high end barber shops. An engaging environment with skilled barbers. Highly recommend.

Requested style: Burst Fade“

“Jessie is awesome. Took my 6yr old for a haircut and not only does my son look sharp he can't wait to go back. He took his time and made sure to keep my son engaged with conversation making my son who is usually shy very comfortable. Will most definitely be back.“

“Man I love love coming to get haircut by Nelson over at definition the quality and the detail Nelson and his coworkers take on appointments and even walk ins is amazing, I go at least twice a month and it’s a one stop shop for me I get my hair braided by Tasha and Nelson takes care of the rest always, I’m always recommending definition barbershop to anyone that cares about the quality Nelson and his team put out 100 percent of the time this has been my home for years and will continue to be.“

“After trying all the barbers in the area, I can confidently say this is the best one. Soto cut my hair, but the entire team seems skilled in their craft.“

“He does a great job! A bit more expensive but worth it because I always walk out satisfied and recommend my friends to see him.“
