State Street Barbers

Since 2003, State Street Barbers has been Chicago's go-to traditional men's barbershop, with five locations across Old Town, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, River North, and the Loop. Each shop is designed like a classic barbershop from decades ago — with dark wood, vintage photos and memorabilia, and the timeless tools of the trade — taking you back to a time where taking care of how you look was part of being a man. The signature experience includes complimentary coffee and tea, and every service comes with a relaxing shoulder massage. Standard 30-minute Haircuts plus a 45-minute Precision Haircut option for more labor-intensive styles, hot lather shaves performed with the classic straight razor and hot towels, grey blending, and services for men of all ages — including 'gentlemen in training' (boys 12 and under). Walk-ins welcome at every location: 'You don't need an appointment at State Street Barbers, but it helps — give us a call anytime to set one up.'
