Jonathan the barber 1st listened to what I wanted and in return I got a fantastic hair cut for a reasonable price. He was super friendly!!! I will definitely go back for another!

Your guy need to up his hair game? But hates the idea of a fussy hair place? Trek over to Kempt for the BEST haircut and shave he's EVER had. This place is a Chicago Classic! A man haven!!! Manly-man hair products, guitars for strumming, a motorcycle to gawk at... And yes, Lloyd's hair skills are solid - ask to see his forearm tat ;)

Call ahead for an appointment, bring cash and enjoy a wide assortment of great magazines and books if you show up early. Kempt provides great service, attention to detail, and witty banter. If you have time, get a shave AND a haircut - you will not be disappointed. He does a great job with myself, my 13-year-old, and my 2 1/2 year old. I am lucky to have gone to Lloyd for over ten years now. If that's not a testament to the service, professionalism and quality, I don't know what else is?!

Lloyd has been cutting my hair for years. I thought it was finally time to post a review. This is a laid back place to get your hair cut. The cuts are consistently good and Lloyd is easy to get along with. Everything about the shop just has a mellow vibe. You can’t go wrong here, especially compared to the chain places. No comparison.
