Reviews of Handcrafted Barbershop (Barber Shop)

Kyle Bailey

Exactly what you want out of a barber shop.

Matt Mather

I hesitate to leave 5 stars as more people will find out about Handcrafted. It's already impossible to get an appt less than a week out. Regardless, these guys rock!

4th time going up here off of a recommendation. All of the barbers seem to do good work from what I saw. I went to Will 2x and have been very happy with the work everytime.

Mr Planner

Very best. Sincerely.

Jason Ritzema

I like these guys. #1 they are cool, #2 they know what they are doing. I used to go to the barber shop that a few of them worked at until they opened their own barber shop this year. I used to live 2 doors down - now that I moved to the north suburbs and they moved to the west loop, I travel about 40 miles to have Travis cut my hair. It is still worth it.

Tanner Jones

Greats cuts from good dudes. Greg is my go to but have used a couple others when he’s booked and all have been great.

Jake Sloma

Best barbershop around!!

Adam Ballard

Great haircut, clean shop, friendly barbers...couldn’t ask for much more.

Andrew Danan

I've been getting my haircut from Doug since he was a student at Success Schools and he has cut my hair perfect every time. Doug is my barber for life. The other three guys are all amazing barbers as well. Any one of them would cut your hair perfect as well!

Mookie Lee

Walked in randomly since they're down the street from me and was set up with Travis. Get your hair cut from Travis. Havent tried any of the other guys although Im sure theyre good too. Cant beat the price for a good buzz.

Josh Van Praag

Great barbers, easy to reserve an appointment online, fair price.

Robert Dymurski

These guys are awesome. Laid back and the best at what they do.

Thom Oswald

Best barber shop in the city!!!

John Ketner

Excellent cuts and great guys.

Brady Robbins

This place is by far, the best barbershop in town - I don't care what chair you sit in and who cuts your hair, please trust me when I say, "you're in very good hands". When living outside of the States, I couldn't wait to have a meeting back in Chicago so I could get a proper haircut - These guys are great!

Dan Perron

Always makes me look great

ISPNA from Chicago

I know these guys from the great place where they were before, and they were among the best of that shop: I followed them to their new shop if that tells you my recommendation. Anybody can give me a mediocre haircut, but it takes a special touch to give me a great haircut. They have each cut my hair in times past. So these are great barbers and a good price.

Timothy Olson

Great men's hair cuts and they do shaves.

Joel Marsh

I fly from CA to get my haircut by Greg here. AMAZING attention to detail and the best fade your money can buy

Bill Hays

There is no better group of professional barbers, in the city of Chicago, than this crew here. Appointment & Cash Only Shop. Plan ahead and set an appointment through their site. Get there little early and enjoy a beer. Get your hair cut. Leave with a proper fade/tapper/flattop/buzz/beard trim.

Ovi Hentea

These guys are legit. There is no doubt in their mastery of the skill, plus they make your visit entertaining with the typical banter. They use a robust scheduling system that even lets you get notified of last minute availability. Highly recommended barber. (CASH ONLY)

King IAllah

Great barbershop with an authentic and rustic ambiance. Killer barbers!

Jimmy Liddar

Best service in town

Aakash Chudasama

Will turned one of the worst haircuts I ever got (some place off 355S) into an amazing cut. He has great attention to detail and knows the shape of your head before he starts cutting, resulting in one of the better cuts I've ever gotten. It was my first time in the shop, but this will probably become my go-to spot.

Colin Knapp

Awesome barber shop. Cash and appointment only. They make you feel like family

Larry Little

This barbershop is unpretentious, clean and punctual. Everyone who works there is super friendly. They're worth the price since they do excellent work.

Raj Desai

I’ve been a loyal customer here for 3 + years. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Michael Hurley

Best all around. Best ever.

Gregory Olson

Great neighborhood barber shop! I've been coming here for over a year and have nothing but good things to say.

James Arnold

Best haircut money can buy, all the stylists are up to date, and aware of the trends. Reasonable people, if you are someone who wants a haircut done right, there is not a better place

Christopher Bridgland

Best hair cut in town. Book 3-4 weeks in advance to guarantee a time. Otherwise if flexibility head down for a walk in.

jack gehrke

Will really understands my hair. He gets me too. He's just the best! Everyone go! A must see!

Andre Gieniec

Perfect! Just friggin perfect!

Katelyn Botts

I really like this barbershop. Very detail-oriented barbers. I went to Greg and left very happy with my cut. I've only gone to this guy once but I can just tell that he knows what he's doing. I'll definitely be returning.

John Chen

Wonderful barbershop and great haircut,at good price.If you're looking for a great place to get a haircut with a knowledgeable barber, this the place to be.

Matt Stone

This is the place to be! Best shop in Chicago, go see Travis!

Matthew Lowther

Doug Selburg is the dude!

Victor R

This is the second time that Doug has done my hair and all I can say is what a difference a professional clean modern haircut can make. I have been reluctant to change my same old boring, receding middle age comb over, and went to Doug seeking a whole new style. A half hour practically trimming the majority of my hair off and styling what was left on top in a whole new way, I walked out as a hip 58 year old man. My new look has helped me in my sales tremendously with last month scoring a $125K contract, and two days after this cut, scored a $25K job. People I have dealt with for years have noticed a difference and I am getting more calls then before. l now plan to go every 4-5 weeks religiously to keep this look, or until all my hair falls out! Doug is a master at his trade, and I can't thank him enough for what he has done for my appearance. Seeing his associates working alongside him, you can see that everyone there takes great pride in their work. They should rename this place Handcrafted Masters of Hair. Great job!

Eddie Moy

Best barbershop around. I've been getting my hair cut by Travis back when he and the other barbers were at a different shop and followed him to their new place. Great cut for low prices, beverages are offered, and just overall cool guys. Park on Racine or Hubbard for non-metered spots. Make sure you set up an appointment online as they are usually booked well in advance.

Harry Lewis-Barclay

These guys always do a good job, regardless of who you get. Kind, fun, laidback and skilled. Everything you need from a barber. Being cash, be early and book well in advance or try to get a last minute cancellation.

Ben Hinds

Best barbershop I’ve been to. Excellent cuts and beard trims, Doug does a great job. Will be going here for awhile.

Adrian Roman

Best barbershop around. I followed Isaac over from his previous location, and couldn't be happier with the service. Great haircut, every time. Atmosphere is friendly, and you'll be comfortable regardless of whether you're the type who prefers a nice quiet cut, or someone who enjoys a conversation as a side. Couldn't recommend Isaac enough, though you should be prepared to book your appointment far in advance, he's in high demand. Travis is usually a bit more available and also very good. Haven't tried any of the other guys yet. FYI, the street parking is pretty awful around there.

Brandon Mueller

I love this place. Fantastic fades, cuts, and styles. It seems like it would be 'hipster' but it really isn't. I show up in my dress casual clothes for work and there are lots of people in anything from a suit to sweatpants. Haircut is TOP NOTCH! They pay extreme attention to detail and are very good at what they do. They are normal guys, pretty cool to talk to, and not pretentious at all like at some places. They stay very busy so DONT BE LATE! If you miss your appointment you might be charged anyway, and it's because they are very busy (usually booked 5+ days in advance), so don't take it personally. (I'm talking to you, two star guy). I'd take an Uber because parking is tough. The best option is to park up Ogden at the pay to park or get a ride. Sip next door is a great little coffee place, too, if you show up nice and early. You might be in luck if you're early and get in, but if not grab a cup of joe and chill. (Or they also have some complimentary refreshments if you are waiting).

Glenn Sieverson

No frills, high quality haircuts. Parking is challenging. Good vibe inside.

Nikolas Taraba

They were able to get me right in. Greg cut my hair just how I asked and did a great job. Definitely recommend.

Michael Garza

A highly professional top quality establishment with exacting standards that gave me one of the best haircuts I have had. This is what a barbershop should be like. I enjoyed the shave too. Thanks Doug. Be aware this is appointment only, no walk ins.

Kat Yunker

Legit barber, cash only. Make you look like a star

Matt Topic

Great cut.

Frank Luna

Beat barbers in the county!!

Jack Gehrke

Will is a surgeon with the clippers. Top notch work. Top bloke. Highly recommend. Best barbershop in Chi.

Rob Birse

Killer little shop with vintage interior and a small team of skilled Barber's.

Mayor of Chicago

The work is great but they don't stick to appointment policy . I missed appointment so instead of charging me for the appointment I was asked not to come back. The email said ir was not personal but then greg krytopeck out however you spell his last name blocked me on Instagram. I never said anything or did anything so it obviously was personal and very unprofessional. I will say the owner has been professional as far as I know. Greg on the other hand is not. He lets his personal thoughts get in the way of his professional work.

Maximus Maximus

Amazing hair cuts

Greg Wisinski

Great service and haircut. Thanks Issac!

Steven Costello

They really are one of the best barbershops in town. What I like about going to them is they always take there time and never in a rush. I have been going to them for over two years and the quality and the service is still the same.If I was to mention one “complaint” it would be that it is cash only.

Zachary Walz

I followed my barber, Greg, here from a different location. This place is so nice with a really great vibe. Free beverages add a nice touch. But above else, the quality of cuts here is amazing.

Jordan Evans

Will is a great barber

Jaime Bravo

The staff is amazing they all have different styles and are by appointment only. It's a cash barbershop so make sure you stop at the ATM before your appointment. You should book Doug he is a total professional, funny, perfectionist and quick. He asks ask the right questions when it comes to your experience and you end up with the perfect cut. Dogs are welcome too you can't beat that!!!!!

Joseph Beck

What a fantastic place! My barber took time to cater to my needs. I loved the whole experience.

Tatsuya Takizawa

Best barbershop in Chicago. Decor has a classic but renovated feel to it, and the barbers here are top notch. I somehow landed Isaac,(it was when they first couple months of moving to the location) who knew exactly what to do even though I probably didn't articulate clearly what I was looking for. Entire cut took around 30 minutes, and although he was running late on clients, he took his time and made sure I was satisfied with the cut. Can't recommend this place enough, will be going back soon.
