Barber Shop near Old Irving Park, Chicago

Old Irving Park sits east of the Kennedy, and getting to Jose's from there is about as simple as a Chicago trip gets: west on Irving Park Road, over the expressway, and north a couple of blocks on Milwaukee once you hit Six Corners. Call it ten minutes without traffic.

The families who come from that side of the highway tend to book the pair — an adult cut and a kids' cut back to back — which is why the forty-minute slots matter. Nobody is being hurried out of the chair so the next appointment can start on time, and a first haircut for a nervous four-year-old gets the time it needs.

If you've been going downtown or up to Lincoln Square for a barber, this is a shorter trip. Book online, or call (872) 946-7059 and ask what's open today.
