“Tariq gave my six-year-old his first proper fade and somehow kept him still for 30 minutes. We have a standing appointment now.”
Andre W.Kids cut · Logan Square “Best hot towel shave I have had, including the one in Istanbul. Danny talked me through every step. My face has never been this smooth.”
Pete K.Hot towel shave · Pilsen “Rosa is the first barber who actually knows what to do with my curls. Cut dry, shaped right, and it still looks good a month later.”
