“I’ve been going to 18|8 for years, both in LA and Chicago, and Taylor is the best stylist I’ve had by far. I previously had a bad haircut and grew my hair out for a bit, looking to reshape things. She was right on board and knew exactly what I was going for. Very intelligent, intuitive, and fun person.” – Adam B.

“Great experience. Very professional. Just moved to Chicago from nyc and this rivals (and maybe beats) the folks out there! Taylor was exactly as others have said – very knowledgeable, understands what you’re trying to do and achieves it while putting her own personal touch on it. Look forward to going back!” Great experience. Very professional. Just moved to Chicago from nyc and this rivals (and maybe beats) the folks out there!

“If you’re searching all the men’s salons available in the city and can’t decide where to go, just stop searching, go to this company’s site, and book an appointment with Taylor. Great atmosphere, you get your own private section in the shop, and she was great to converse with. I had a relaxing time and ended up with a great haircut.” – Justin H.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – February 2019
“Got a great cut here today from Alecia. She is a great stylist and incredibly knowledgeable. She educated me on the proper way to shampoo and condition my hair. I was in the presence of a hair savant! Alecia was also the most attentive stylist ever to touch my hair. She would carefully navigate her shears around my big ass head while explaining the importance of trimming with the flow of the follicles. Awesome cut. Awesome Experience. Awesome Service.” – Tom M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – January 2019
“Wow, what a find! I needed a haircut while visiting Chicago, and wanted someplace close with good reviews. 18/8 popped and I was able to get an appointment later that same day. This place is nice and clean, has friendly staff that attends to your every need, and I received probably the best haircut I’ve ever had. Taylor is exceptional. She specializes in men’s hair, and it shows. Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Cheers to you 18/8! Hope to see you all again!” – Steve R.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – January 2019
“I can honestly say it was the perfect haircut. The perfect level of courtesy and professionalism. I’ve never been happier with a cut. Thank you Taylor! I’ll see you in three weeks! Simply the best. THE best. And the reservations system online is simplicity defined. They also take walk-ins, but I’d use the reservation system for sure.” – Tim B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ –December 2018
“The Salon itself is very clean, modern and sleek. The staff are kind and take great care of you. Can’t recommend this place enough.” – Alex M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ –December 2018
“All around positive experiences every time I visit (about 5 so far) and will continue to be repeat customer. Definitely not your typical awkward barber experience. Good interior setup – simple and refined (leather chairs with mini fridge and TV; semi-private barber chairs make it easy to communicate). Kate gives fantastic haircuts and will continue to be my go-to, big shout out to Kate and the 18|8 team!” – Andrew V.
