1 star situation, 5 star response I made an appointment for an 'edge up' which is a $16 service. Everything up to the point of paying was good as usual: was offered a free water bottle and got a good haircut. Then I had the rug pulled from under me at the end when I was asked to pay for the "haircut" service ($41) because the barber was new and didn't realize that I had only asked for an edge up, even though I verbally told him what I was there for (his English didn't seem to be that great). Obviously I was frustrated at what was essentially a bait-and-switch, but paid anyway as I didn't feel like escalating the situation to involve a manager or make a scene. UPDATE: Scott, the owner, reached out the next day to apologize and offered a full refund on my ticket. I removed part of my review that had more strongly worded language as I wrote it in frustration, even though he didn't ask me to remove that or my review in general. I truly appreciate him reaching out personally and in such a speedy manner. This was definitely an isolated incident and everyone should feel comfortable giving this barbershop a try, my one bad experience probably wont be yours! He said they will use this as a learning experience and no one will get in trouble which I also appreciate.

I’m not one to typically leave reviews, but I feel like I have to speak out on this. I’ve been going here for a couple of years and had generally positive experiences w deymi. Most recently, I went in for a haircut with a different barber , and he was completely high out of his mind. He could barely speak, open his eyes, or even move. I immediately told him that I did not feel comfortable with him cutting my hair, and I left. Receptionist was apologetic , but I don’t understand how he was allowed to even be there in that state. Considering he is working with sharp tools, it is completely dangerous and irresponsible.

Hi Tim, this is Scott, the owner of V’s Barbershop Chicago. I am truly sorry to hear what happened in the barbershop and the angst it caused you. While I can not comment on employment matters, rest assured this will be handled appropriately. We have a zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol in the workplace. I will reach out to you directly to personally apologize and this matter will be handled immediately. Thank you

My first time here. It was a great experience. It’s a clean, friendly environment. Ava really took care of me and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. I bought the grooms package, which made me feel great before the big day. I will be recommending this shop to my friends in the future.
Owner's response
So happy you enjoyed your experience Cesar!! Thanks for the excellent review.

Eli Ramirez did a great job with my hair at this place. I love all the stylists here though. I used to go to any old shop (Supercuts, etc) and my cuts here were immediately much better. My hairline isn’t so much receding as it is sprinting back, but the folks at V’s have never failed to make it look great through the different stages

Thank you for the wonderful review, Karl!

I treated my husband to his first, in 50 years of living, barber shop experience. And let me tell you!! V's did not disappoint! Especially Ms. Toney Evans herself! Man, she not only made my husband even sexier than he already is, she taught me and explained the whole process while doing it! Her ease, gentleness, and precise edging skills blew me and him away! She literally had my husband praising God in her chair! I HIGHLY recommend the V's experience and Ms. Evans specifically.🙌🏼
Owner's response

Ava is not only one of the nicest barbers I've had cut my hair, she is also extremely skilled! I get a skin fade and her attention to detail is outstanding. Always enjoy getting my haircut here! Great vibes

The experience was overall a great one! The stylist Esmeralda really took her time with the cut and made sure I was content with the length and look of the hair cut. She was very professional and did an amazing job. I left feeling super satisfied and definitely will be coming back to this location from now on
Owner's response
Thanks for the excellent review Jesse and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit!
