Now, this shop is a tourists spot ,but aside from the photos and memorabilia you never really think of it like that! Everyones always talking and welcoming. I went in with my boyfriend for a shaping and lining because my hair is a curtly Afro and its also kinda shorter in the back and dont really trust traditional stylists for lining and shape ups. I always get a PERFECT shape here . But anyway, its a great place but I had to write this review because on one random Tuesday in December , Im getting my hair shaped and in walks President Barack Obama OBAMA!!everyone became so quiet initially lol, it was crazy! Anyway, great place

Im a bit biased as a Hyde Parker and such but this is the best place for a cut! If you cherish your lining, want a clean cut and flexible hours., this is the place! Its even open on SUNDAYS! Thats my favorite day to go

First of all its Sunday so thank you Hyde Park for being open my baby was looking rough I refused to allow him to go to school looking like that. The first barber to the left whose name Is AC (yes like air conditioner lol) made us feel welcomed dont know me from Adam and Eve the wait wasnt too long and he is very passionate about football lol he kept stopping in hopes that the Bears would get that final point. Lol (they didnt) I showed him a picture of what I wanted his lining to look like and he was able to do it !!!!( you dont know how many shops Ive gone to from not being able to get a walk in with his original barbers that just give him a regular lining I like the tapered lining look, but he was able to accomplish it the price wasnt bad and I tipped him because I appreciated him he welcomed my son asked how he was doing gave him a high five, and all. Thats what you call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, barber shops now a days smells like marijuana or they smoking in the shop this shop DID NOT, so I was thankful. The atmosphere was calm, my baby eyes was getting low sitting in the chair so I know he felt comfortable, he cried the last time we had to quick go get a hair cut from a place on 95th western, because the man was fading his hair too hard! This place is clean and looks really nice, parking wasnt too bad for a Sunday either I got a spot right in front after one good spin around looking for a park. Im going to ask my son how he felt about it and see if he wants him to be his new barber ? Ill keep you posted on his review but so far hes looking faded and ready for school!

Nice place, nice guy. Got me in on short notice. However, I would say they are less experienced at working with finer longer hair. Personally disappointed but appreciate the effort.
