Simply the best haircut you can get by the best barbers in the region. It was awhile before I could make it back here, but after my haircut I knew the people working here are irreplaceable barbers. Each one great; Will cut my hair this time and made me look better than I really look! Thanks guys!

Best barbershop in Chicago. Have been going here for over 3 yrs, never had a bad haircut. I think I've had my hair cut by everyone there at one point or another and they're all good, so you can't make a wrong choice. At some point I was more consistent with Will and have stuck with him for the majority of appts now. Recently moved up to WI and find myself trying to coordinate days I'm in town with days they're open.

One of the best and most professional barbers in Chicago! I’ve been there twice for a haircut and beard trim, and they did an amazing job both times. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly.

Only used an electric razor on my curly hair. He was fairly friendly and the price wasn’t too bad, but I can’t believe this place has five stars. I have never had a haircut and left more disappointed. I thought he was just trimming the sides with the razor only to realize this was all the effort he was willing to put into my haircut. Clearly doesn’t know how to work with my sort of hair and now I just have a ring of barely touched hair on top of my head. Looks awful and will be wearing hats for the next few weeks.

Since moving to West Town- I’ve come across a lot of new places and people! I can’t say anything but positive stuff about Handcrafted Barbers! I see Will there and he’s simply amazing. Attention to detail and he takes his time cutting my hair. I’m so happy I found a barbershop/ barber who’s phenomenal and friendly! I highly recommend both Will and HCB! Nothing but 5 STARS!

Have been going here since i moved to the area over 11 years ago. These guys are the best and will treat you as if you have been coming in for years. Would highly recommend for anyone seeking an old school barber feel. Depending on timing of appointment I have been seeing either Doug or Will who, at this point don't need to much direction from me. All of the guys in the shop are super friendly and will provide you the best experience and cut. Again, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fresh cut. Just an FYI the shop is cash only and you need to book through their online portal which is very easy.

I've been coming to this barbershop since 2015 and even made it a point to come here when I was traveling to other states for work. I've had my haircut at a few different places and they all pale in comparison to the quality of this shop. Doug is my barber but I have had my hair cut by everyone and have never had a bad haircut. Everyone has been professional, friendly, the shop is clean, and they go above and beyond with all their services. The shop is cash only and you need to reserve a spot online with their Resuva booking tool. I've been to a few spots in Chicago and I could tell the barbers here were much better than anywhere I've been for the same price. In the 9 years I've been coming here, I also haven't seen a barber leave, which speaks to the dedication of these guys to create an atmosphere that's welcoming and keeps customers coming back to them. By far the best shop in Chicago!

I’ve been going to Handcrafted Barbershop in the West Loop for over 5 years. And I am incredibly impressed with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with a friendly atmosphere and the barbers were incredibly professional. All of the barbers I encountered were incredibly skilled in fades and styling, and I was very pleased with the end result. The shop itself had a really cool atmosphere, with an old school feel combined with modern vibes. I really liked the decorations, and the vibe was just really great. Handcrafted Barbershop is certainly the best shop in the West Loop, if not all of Chicago. I would highly recommend Handcrafted Barbershop for anyone looking for a great barber experience.

Best shop in town. Been coming here every couple weeks for the past 5.5 years. Doug is my barber and always gives me a better haircut than I ask for. I am always so impressed with the detail and quality he provides. In 5 years he wasn't available twice. I think thats very reliable of him. The two times he wasn't available I got a cut from Will and the other time Clint, the newest barber in the shop. Both times were fantastic. Love the shop decor and how I feel confident everytime I leave there. If you're feeling it you can even drink a PBR while getting cut. Place is so good you definetley have to make an appointment well in advance. Cash only and don't show up late! Very reasonable/ competitive pricing. $30/ cut. If I had to say anything negative it would just be that finding parking in that area may take a minute.

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.
