Jerry’s Barber Shop

Carol is a 10! Great haircut, great shave. If you have time to pamper yourself, go see her.

honestly was looking forward to this… christmas present from my dad to get a shave at a barber shop. appeared that the shaves are scheduled in half an hour increments, my brother in law went a half an hour appointment before me and he looked a little nicked up when i walked in just before my appointment. the guy proceeded to take maybe 10 – 12 minutes tearing my face up with extremely quick blade passes (i am a pretty rugged facial hair guy so this was unpleasant). i wondered why he was moving so quickly until i discovered afterwards he was rushing to fit an extra client in after me. i have done the barber shave a couple times before this elsewhere and thoroughly enjoyed the experience but this was just plain bad.

Zero stars! They fucked up my hair and they charge way too much for a crapy haircut… 18 dollars!!! and that’s not including tip. I Haven’t found a decent place to get a hair cut and if you’re looking to go here I suggest you cut your hair yourself and I’m sure it will come out better.

Quality cut for an affordable price. Karol is an amazing barber who will provide a nice clean cut with razor treatment at the end. Parking is easy to find. I will only go to Karol as she is the best there is and is nice and welcoming.

Ladies go to Alex for eyebrows. Nobody touches my eyebrows anymore you won’t regret it. Thank you Alli.

Very accommodating and Carol gets it right every time! Price is less than half what I use to pay downtown

No waiting. Quiet clean shop Very reasonable. Will make this my routine haircut shop. I will want Karol to cut my hair going forward. She pays close attention to detail. Great haircut every time I see her. Highly recommended

The best barber shop on the North Shore! I stopped in for a quick haircut one day and have been going back for the past 4 years. Jerry’s is perfect for everyone… get a straight razor shave or a kids buzz cut. They have it all. The staff is very welcoming and makes you feel like you’ve been coming for years.
Prices are so affordable. Try it once and I know you will come back.

Kind of a dump, but staff works hard and @ $ 15, you get your money’s worth. Decent hours. Only street parking is main issue for me.

I recently moved to Wilmette and was looking for a place to get a men’s haircut. I’ve been with the same person for the last 10 years and was hesitant to find someone new. I went in and Karol took care of me, no problems. It’s an old school barber shop, but Karol knows how to cut men’s hair. She’s very friendly and funny to sit and talk with for my monthly cut. I’d definitely recommend coming in for a cut or shave. 2 thumbs up!

I went in to have my head and two day beard shaved. I will NEVER go here again. Blade was dull, cold shaving cream used — seriously, no hot towel, no warm water to soften my beard, all cold. When I got to my car after what was an extremely uncomfortable shave, I looked in the car mirror and found my face was bleeding from several nicks. Just a complete joke.

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Karol for the past 6 – 8 months and she does a great job. Since I was a new customer, it took a few sessions to get the hair cut exactly the way I want it. Karol listened carefully every time I gave her feedback and made adjustments and I now get a perfect haircut every time. The barber shop is friendly and comfortable.

Jerry’s is an old-​fashioned barber-​shop where you can get a great haircut for a reasonable price. Carol usually cuts my hair and my wife tells me that I get a better haircut there than where I used to pay considerably more in the city. Good attention to detail (Carol always trims my eyebrows when they start looking a bit too much like Breshnev) She takes her time and listens to (and remembers) how you like your hair to be cut.
Recently we started bringing our litte girls to Jerry’s when they need a trim (ages 6 and 8) and they are so sweet with the girls that they ask to come along when they know I’m getting a haircut.

Kids’ buzz cuts, $ 9, good deal.

I love this barbershop! I have been coming here for years. Be sure to get Karol, she is a pro and has been great with my kids as well. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

To give you an idea of how bad this place is, I actually walked out with half my hair cut! No I’m not kidding. Apparently Jerry needs a ruler when cutting hair because «not to short» does not mean «military hair cut.» I knew I was in trouble when the chair didn’t face the mirror — never a good sign. I got the feeling that it was getting to short when the buzzer was going off practically inside my ear. After standing up and demanding to leave i was of course asked to pay. I would have given him the keys to my car just to get the F out of this place. I still tell stories of this experience and people laugh — that’s the only saving grace.

EXCELLENT lil barber shop! I understand that Jerry’s has been around for centuries. I walked in on a whim to get my eyebrows threaded and Alex did my eyebrows (I was surprised at first that they had the guys doing it but they have done a better job than anyone has ever done them) I haven’t gone anywhere else since. I drive 40 mins out of my way for a great eyebrow thread! He does an amazing JOB so call ahead and see if Alex or Allat is there.

I just took my son (almost 4yr) there for a summer cut yesterday. Didn’t have an appointment and walked-​in. Place was very clean and bright. Open on Sunday, which is great for our schedule. Most importantly, the barber Alan gave my son a great cut. My son has 3 crazy cowlicks in his hair which always give barbers trouble. Alan really took his time, and the cut was perfect… you can’t even tell my son has cowlicks.

I will give you a quick down and dirty about this shop.
There is one gentleman who is great at his job, every other person not so much. Why?
— Unclean and messy workstations, I understand when things are hopping, you cannot clean up right away. But when things are slow your workstation better be clean. It also makes me wary when they whip out that razor and start shaving my neck,
— It seems no one takes their time, when you charge me $ 18 for haircut, I am expecting a pretty good job. I don’t want to go home and trim up areas that were missed.
— Where things went totally down hill for me is when they had some untrained dudes cutting my hair, I ain’t expecting barber school, practice somewhere else.
Like a lot things in Evanston, this is below average to mediocre.

I’ve walked over to Jerry’s Barber Shop by myself and have gotten my haircut there. When I’ve been to Jerry’s Barber Shop by myself, it hasn’t been too hard to calculate a tip. When I’ve gotten my haircut at Jerry’s Barber Shop, I’ve called them to schedule an appointment, and I’ve just walked in. Walk-​ins are welcome at Jerry’s Barber Shop. Or you can call to schedule an appointment.
The barbers there are helpful and friendly. Whenever I walk in to get an appointment, there’s usually someone ready to cut my hair. Or if they’re all busy, they just have me sit down and wait. They’ve got books and magazines to read while you’re waiting to get your haircut.
If you tell them how you want your hair cut, they’ll do it for you. Or if they think you’ll need more of it cut, then they’ll cut more off.
After the barber has finished my haircut, he’s given me time to pay for my haircut. If you don’t have enough money to give the right tip, they’ll be fine with it. After I’ve paid for my tip, I’ve grabbed a candy and then walked home.
I enjoy getting my haircut at Jerry’s Barber Shop. It’s my favorite place to get my haircut at. I’d recommend getting your haircut at this haircut place. Jerry’s Barber Shop is a fun haircut place to go to.
