Best Places in Chicago to Get a Haircut

As the title suggests, I do not want to go back home to get a haircut when I am interning in Chicago in the summer. Is there a place that you guys recommend to get a haircut in Chicago? Is there a common place that a lot of people go to?

Are you black or not?

Big difference with going to a barber shop and salon.

If you are the former, go to Metropolitan Barbers and see Pierre who is a true OG living in the Souf Side. He'll line ya up on the reals.

If you're the latter, just go to Fantastic Sams like normal heterosexual men do.

 

Out of curiosity, what does "go back home to get a haircut entail"?

A) Short drive/train from Chicago to the town you're from. B) A literal flight to another region of the country to get a haircut.

Dayman?
