Jay's Barber Shop 1579 Maple Avenue, Evanston, IL 60201

"Quick and does a great job. Been going here for over a year now."

"The man that was in his phone chilling is rude. I called 20 mins before coming in for haircut to get told oh you need an appointment. He said I can make it now if I wanted but I’d rather been told on the phone. He claims I just hung up on him but when I said I’d be in soon after asking if they were opened and he said yes he said see you soon. How did I hang up so fast if I heard that statement? It’s cool he can play on his phone all he wants. I was only going since my regular barber was closed but I’d make sure never to recommend this place to anyone."

"Jay gives amazing haircuts and is uncannily on time. I’ve never been there more than ten minutes. It’s amazing!"

"First time I went here I feared for how my haircut would turn out. Very few words spoken, I show my picture, I get my haircut. It’s $22, it takes 10 minutes, it looks great. I’ve been back 3 times. I usually call ahead or drop in to book a time later in the day (you should also let him know at that point if you need a beard trim/cleanup or you’ll be outta luck mentioning it when you get in the chair) but supposedly walk ins can be ok if he’s not super busy. Genuinely one of the top three haircuts of my life."

"This place has been here since the 70s, and the current barber has been cutting hair here for about six years he said. The price is still reasonable at $22, but keep in mind that it's cash only. Walk ins are welcome, but you can also call and make an appointment, which is probably the better way. Last but not least, the actual hair cut was very good!!! He asked me how I wanted it done, and I could tell he wasn't taking anything I said for granted, but really wanted to provide the haircut I wanted. Very nice place."
