However, walk-ins are always welcome.
The Civic Opera Barber Shop
Located on Floor 15 of the Civic Opera Building, this barbershop has been in business for almost fifty years. It's been cited by a couple of magazines as a great place to get a haircut. A charming aspect of the Civic Opera Barber Shop is how it transports you back in time with its old-school setting. Amidst all the typical barber shop services, they also do manicures and shoe shines, all at affordable rates.
Joe's Barber Shop
There are three generations of barbers from the Caccavella family beneath the foundation of this barber shop. Since 1968, Joe's Barber Shop has stood the test of time because of the excellent services rendered to customers.

One of the things that set this barber shop apart from its counterparts is the relaxed and casual atmosphere. Another plus is a complimentary beverage right before you get your hair done. They only accept customers who are 13 years and above. Pete's Barber Shop runs an appointment-only system, and lateness might mean you have to reschedule. Also, have some cash on you as they only accept payment in cash.
Chicago Barber Shop
With glowing reviews from clients, this barber shop continues to serve its customers with high-quality hair cuts. The downside is that they offer a limited variety of services.

The Public Barber
This barber shop doubles as a neighborhood grooming center and a safe haven for people in the LGBTQ community.
