MaestroShave Barbershop

Walked in today without any wait and got a precise perfect haircut and shampoo. Maestro is a true professional who is one of a handful of barbers that gives extreme attention to detail without wasting time. The barbershop was clean, comfortable, and chill. I’ll definitely be a regular here.

Saw the reviews, gave him a try. He is now my regular barber. Amazing cut every time, his attention to detail is impressive. Also, he remembers my exact cut style and throws in a few tips that work well for my head shape.
Best Barber in the city!

I saw good reviews but I think the business management has changed since then. It is a one man show literally, he is the barber, the clean up, the billing etc. decent haircut … But was $ 55 for the most basic cut alive … Even all around. Then had nerve to say he was giving me a discount. It’s obvious this guy is a good barber but a bad business man. He has no tiers for his service. Premium and regular alike. I wouldn’t suggest going here unless you ready for a nice look inside until u look a lil closer and you get you bill. I would ask first how much. He essentially sized my pockets up then robbed me. Def not going back here. I wouldn’t expect this place to be open much past 2 more months with the way he’s running this place

Wow — one guy running this place — couldn’t take enough time from eating his lunch to clean me up: even though there’s just one other customer there … Bad bad bad customer service — guess that’s why it was empty — i walked out too!

While I have no other experience with getting a straight razor shave, I can say that this was the closest shave I ever had. The prep with three hot towels and shea butter was really nice. Great haircut also — and I just have a buzz cut but Maestro took the time to do a proper fade and made it look really nice. All in all a nice «spa» day for guys. I can’t afford to get this full package every time I get my hair cut but I wish I could!

Been going to Maestro for almost 4 years now. He does offer precision haircuts and if you can tell him exactly what you want you will get it.
Great service, nice atmosphere, and always A+ quality work.

Went here over the weekend for my husbands 50^th weekend celebration and pampering. This place is AMAZING.
They are currently located on the second floor in a nice and private building (I think there is a nail salon right below them that we accidentally walked into. I wonder how often that happens) :)
We walked and and quickly greeted and assisted. I was going to go walk around but decided to relax in front of a gigantic tv screen in the mist comfortable luxurious chairs. I watched the barber from my comfy chair… The barber was funny, charming and very knowledgable and so very detail oriented in the quality of the shave. Hubby will elaborate on that later, but from what I can see hubby was very pleased.

I have alopecia at the top of my head, but that didn’t stop Maestro! Thanks for the cut! Great job!

I have been looking for a good barber for a while now, and I think I’ve finally found one at MaestroShave. I’ve never really had the best luck growing facial hair, but I gave it a shot for no shave November. Long story short Juan is an ace with a razor and I’ve never had a better shape up shave. I’m defiantly going back.

Great haircut. Maestro does not disappoint. Definitely lives up to the reviews. Located in a convenient spot at Chicago and LaSalle.

I’ve been going to Maestro for close to a year now and my experience could not be better! I come out with the perfect haircut every time. I highly recommend Maestro if you’re looking for a consistent, quality haircut and someone you can go to on a regular basis.

Great place for getting a haircut and shave. Maestro is the barber and only barber and personally takes care of you and your hair. You need to book your haircut on the website. Might be a little more expensive than other barber shops but the service and quality is excellent!

In town for Lolla and they fit me in for a great shave. Definitely check this place out

We came in with a big crew for a wedding. We got cuts and shaves! He was awesome. Had a blast, I would highly recommend it!

For our 9^th wedding anniversary, my wife sent me to Maestro for a shave. I am 35 years old and I don’t think my face has been this smooth in 34 years! The Maestro is a gentle, meticulous professional who sets the gold standard for straight razor shaves.

Unfortunately, my rating is not based on the quality of haircuts at this barbershop, as I never actually received one. I booked an appointment online and showed up a little early, but I could not enter because the building was locked. I waited outside in the cold for 15 minutes calling/​buzzing at the front door until I gave up and went home. They have my phone number, but I still haven’t heard back with an explanation or anything. As a busy guy, this was the only real chance I had this week to grab a cut and now I’m left with nothing.
Based on the other reviews, I’m sure the cuts are good, but, for me, this was a complete waste of time.

I found this place on Unilocal and was very pleasantly surprised.
I had some trepidation when I saw the state of the building, almost went someplace else. Glad I didn’t The guy really knows his stuff.
Super easy to set up an appointment through the website. Sometimes its nice when I look in the mirror, need a shave and can just set one up rather than dealing with someone over the phone trying to figure out when they have an opening and I have one.
Good place

After growing my beard for 4 months and self experimenting with different lengths, cheek lines and neck lines my beard was in sloppy shape. I decided it was time for a professional. I found Maestro on Unilocal and decided to give him a try.
The shave was awesome! Finally my beard looks groomed and neat and not like a lumberjack’s! Will definitely be back!

So every man has experienced a time where the girlfriend, wife or significant other has trotted off to get their «pampering on». Well this trip to Chicago, I was myopically focused on getting my own swagger on! So walking from the train station to our home away from home for the next couple of days, I past this place; a place exactly like what I was looking for — a «man spa».
I went online, signed up and made my reservation, said by to my breakfast companions and off I went to get my fluffy done! The first thing you notice is a test to figure out where exactly this place is. It’s not super easy to figure out, and once in, it’s not super obvious that this is what you’ve signed up for. Why? Because the décor and condition of the room is not what you would picture when thinking of a high-​end men’s barbershop. So I sheepishly ask if I’m in the right place and all is good. I’m here. Okay. Go with it I’m thinking — after-​all what’s the worst that could happen in this historic up-​and-​coming yuppy area of Old Town (before I see him whip out the straight razor!)?
Once it’s my «turn», I spring out of the my super comfortable leather seat (he’s got recliners, sofas, etc. (everything that can make a grown man get super lazy) and leaped into the barber chair. Almost immediately I started feeling relaxed as he went over all the goodness that’s coming my way. First things first, he tells me. Let’s get the skin ready for the shave. So after reclining me back, he goes off to get a series of super hot towels and wraps my face. This is followed by a cold towel. Somewhere in there he whips out the shaving butter and works that into the face like he’s preparing pizza on my face. Man, this is cool. This goes on for a while before he starts to go to work on the whiskers with the straight razor. This guy doesn’t just do a few swipes and he’s done. Oh no, it’s obsessive compulsive of perfection. All in all, this process is every bit of 35 or so minutes. My face feels like a million bucks. Surely he’s done. NOPE.
Then starts the haircut. Clipping here, trimming there and then a truck load of funky scissor/​straight razor flipping and cutting that I’ve never had before. All that for an additional 25 minutes of care and pampering. And what’s it look like? Amazing. My hair has never laid down so well, never look so natural and never felt so soft. To top it all off, all this was under $ 75! But the real test was when I came back to the room and revealed my new found man goodness to the wife…(wait for it)…AMAZING! Okay! I’m in! This is good! I’m back baby!
Gents, if you are looking for something a bit more than «just a cut» or «just a shave», this place is the bees-​knees. Although I’m tempted to give this 4 out of 5 for the décor (in all fairness, it’s more of a tenant landlord thing, but there’s still more that could be done) this service is top of the charts and just now way you can beat it.
What an experience!

I am very particular about who cuts my hair. Ever since some barber in the 90s thought it would be a good idea to part my hair down the middle, I’ve been wary of people wielding scissors near my head. So I always put off getting a cut until i start looking a bit ragged. It’s a bad habit.
I needed a haircut desperately, and was able to call and make a reservation for a couple hours later. When I got there, I knew I was at the right place. You know how women are always getting their hair done at places that look done-​up for magazine shoots and movie stars? This is kind of like that… but for dudes. Modern, black leather furniture, multiple large TVs, the offer of a beverage when I walked in the door. These are all things that I don’t look for in a barber shop, but things that I love once I realize are there.
The place was pretty quiet when I got in, so I was seen immediately. Maestro asked what I wanted done, and that’s usually where I get the anxiety. I never know how to describe how I want my hair to look, and honestly that’s probably because I’m clueless. So, after explaining to him that he’d be wearing the scissors on his nose if he parted my hair down the middle, I said «you’re the expert, I trust you to make me look good. I need something that can be professional, yet also young and fun.»
Twenty or so minutes later, I looked in the mirror and was happier than I’ve ever been leaving a hair cut. I could tell that he was carefully crafting as he worked, and looking at the end result, I have no doubt that the man is an artist in his own right. Now I can’t ever move, because I’ve found the only person I trust not to make me look like I just walked off a spaceship.
Prices were good too.
