Good barber in Chicago
A question completely out of left field I know...
Can anyone recommend a good barber in Chicago in the downtown/Mag. Mile area? I am desperately in need of a haircut and don't fancy getting butchered...
Thanks in advance,
David

Well, I don't know how high/low maintenance you are, but if you're low maintenance like me then I've got the perfect one for you:
Alfredo's Barber Shop.
Its on State between Pearson and Chestnut (just North of Chicago Avenue).
Men only. $15. No BS, just good haircuts, and hot shaves.
Ask for Tony, he's good. Alfredo is good to.
If you get a haircut from Tony, tell him Greg sent ya'. (I was just there on Tuesday).

For high-maintenance (but on the North side) go to Carrissima Salon at Clark and Surf (1 block North of Diversey).
Ask for Patricia. I've gone to her for 8 years, and she's fantastic. She's $50 for a men's cut.

If you are looking for low-maintenance with high-convenience, just go to the barber in the airport. I did this in Miami one time. It was one of the best haircuts I've ever received.
They can be found in almost all decent-sized airports. I was even surprised to learn that Omaha has one. I don't know whether ORD has one.

I go here all the time. They generally do a good job -- no hassle. If you're going at a prime time, you may want to call ahead.
