“ Great fade and stray-blade line up. First time there and Sam got my fade perfect. Ive stuck with each barber I’ve had for 10 years until they moved or I did and was nervous when I recently had to make the switch again after over 10 years but for the first time, I am actually happy I ran across Sam. No weird vibes, got my hair perfect and the price was better than my last spot for better cut, line up and service. Sam is now the 4th barber I’ve ever recommended in my life. 5 stars in every category. ”
“ Sam might honestly be one of the friendliest people I have ever met. Never a long wait when I go to see him and always gets me right with the haircuts. Don’t hesitate to try him out! ”

“ After trying a few places around the Jefferson/Portage Park area, I found Moe here and have been going to him for the past year. By far he gives the best haircut I've found in the area on par with any top barber. He's a master with the trimmer, scissors and a straight razor and you'll never feel rushed. He's also great with kids haircuts as I always bring my 3 year old son with me every time I go and does a great job. Awesome clean and modern space too! ”
“ Moe did a excellent job on my nephew my nephew's hair was long down to his shoulders gave him a beautiful fade. Very good Barber one of a kind very hard to find. Thanks Moe ”
“ Sam is a one of a kind super star when it comes to being friendly and the professional ways of running his shop. He let me in after close because I had a job interview the next day and was so nice and did fantastic job. Thank you Sam! ”
