Countryside Barber Shop

Jim is great, but never had a bad haircut from anyone in that shop. A little on the slow side, but always an excellent cut the first time. Great selection of reading material for everyone. Price is resonable, cash only, I believe. I don’t mind waiting if there’s one or two ahead of me, I know I’ll get a great cut!

I have been going here since I was 10. Hot lather, straight blade finish after a good clip. All the guys here are fantastic. Jim has taken the reins from his father Fred. The rest of the crew is quality. No frill, just a good old barber.

I have been getting haircuts and my beard trim from Fred for over 30+ years. Now with
Jim they are they continue to be the best in the area

My barber retired, so a year ago, I found this shop. I have had Jim a few times, and today Barbara was my barber. Everything was perfect to the tee. So if your looking for a great barber, this is the place to be.

Outstanding haircut. This has become my new barbershop anytime I am in the neighborhood.

Geez, less and less cars in front every Saturday. Hmmm… not too funny anymore eh?

These guys are great. I’ve been coming here for 20 years and I’m still more than happy with that. I couldn’t recommend a better barber our hair stylist. These guys are really old school and do it right. I’m happy to recommend a good American business.

Simply the best haircut I’ve ever had in a long search for a good barber. Every barber is good but Jim is the best.
I have been a regular customer for years and have always been very pleased with my haircuts.

I was on the search for a good barber. Great clips never got it done and no one else knew what I wanted. I walk in with a nice and sincere «Hello, its nice to see you, have a seat» I show him what I want and he does it perfect. Really nice guys. Good conversation and the quality and preparation is amazing. If I can give more then 5 stars I would. Great place and people.

This is a great barber shop. I have been going here for years. I have recently moved about 20 miles away but I will still be going back to this shop. I highly recommend this shop. The owners are great guys and always happy and friendly. This is a great place for any male of any age. You will not get a better experience anywhere else.

Love it. The guys are unbelievably friendly, but don’t force conversation. Quality work and the offer full razor shaves. Can’t say a bad word about them

I have been going to Countryside Barber for about a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. For 16 dollars (plus tip) you get great cut, old school lather and straight razor shave, and quality time in a quality place. Jerry always gets me looking right. The best barber shop I have been to, hands down.

I was recently out in Illinois because of a class I was taking out at the EMD plant in Lagrange, I stayed at the Countryside Best Western and needed a place to get my haircut, so I typed in Barbershops in my GPS and this one came up. I’ve been tired of the uni-​sex salons for some time now and have recently fell in love with the atmosphere in all male barbershops. I went to this one basically because it was close. Boy am I glad I did. The way these guys can cut hair is great. I wish they were back home in Maryland so I could go here regularly. Instead of getting the elctric trimmers out to trim the back of my neck, they used a straight razor. Ive never had that done before. It was awesome. Don’t know the name of my barber (it was the one closest to the cash register) but he was great. Nice conversation and great haircuts, that’s why love barbershops. Anyone looking for a great manly haircut, go see these guys. You won’t be disappointed.

Welcome to Countryside, Illinois.
Fred Jandak runs this barbershop. Has done so for at least 25 years. Reason enough to get your hair cut here.
If you are a single guy trolling for a babe, the Great Clips, Clip Joynts and such may offer you some opportunity.
This is a barbershop for men in search of a good haircut and shave.
This ain’t a salon, stylist attended, mousse infested, girlie joint where they put hairclips in your hair to hold it out of the way whilst they trim the underlayer of hair. (THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE GONE TO YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE SALON TO PLEASE HER, KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK). It causes me to shudder just thinking about it!!!
At the Countyrside Barbershop, there are two barberchairs, two barbers — Fred and usually Jerry (now that Vick has passed away) or a stand-​in from time to time. There are 6 waiting chairs and a rack with reading material.
Soft jazz or Rat-​Pack era stuff is coming out of the radio and the conversation consists of; fishing, hunting, vacation spots, team sports, politics, the weather and the way it used to be back in the day.

You can get a good, straight razor shave and a splash of Lilac Vegetal in addition to your haircut if you really want to get the whole experience.
This is a no bullshit, keep your place in line, get in, get out shop. The reading material is always current, conversation is light but friendly. Newcomers are always welcome.
There are always hot tips on the best fishing spots in the midwest (except for a couple of regular jokers who have the balls to go to South America for stupid peacock bass and babble about it like I care). Ask Fred about his muskie hanging on the wall.
Bring your son here for his first real man haircut. No crybabys allowed.
