American Barbershop West Main Street, Belleville, IL 62223

"Quick, knowledgeable and got me in quickly. What more could you ask for. Does require an appointment, so plan to call ahead. Much better than those chain haircut places. Actual barber with the straight razer and everything."

"Really pleased with my experience at AB. Jim was very pleasant to work with, took what I wanted, knew what I needed, and demonstrated incredible skill AND care for the craft. Took my call, got me in day-of, out-the-door in a very reasonable time, and ensured I had the cut/look I wanted. You could tell that he cared and wanted my experience to be positive. He double and triple checked alignment/evenness and made sure I understood what the products were, the reason for things, and that his work met my expectations. We talked about next steps to keep things trending how I wanted, what products to buy (note: he didn't sell them himself so it was NOT a pushy discussion AT ALL), and how to get results for my beard care, etc. I will be going back. Prices matched the results and I am very thankful to have found this fantastic spot, local to me."

"Was told by client and father of the child short was fine but NOT bald. My husband even said something to Jim like we said not bald and he totally ignored it. My child came out literally bald like a 1 bald. He composed himself while in the shop but was extremely upset when he got to the car. Immediately asked to buy a hat right then cause he didn’t want anyone to see his head. To top it off we have school pictures in a few weeks and we have no hair. Will never return."

"One of my favorite places to visit every two weeks to the day! The professionalism and care Jim shows is bar none. You’ll love the attention to detail, right down to the warm shaving cream on your neckline that’s finished by a straight razor and the classic scent of Club Man aftershave that you will leave with. I urge you to experience this greatness for yourself!!"
