Chicago’s Award winning barbershop

Back in 1968 when Joe Sr. opened the barbershop in Logan Square, accolades and awards were never on his mind. He believed in great haircuts at reasonable prices and creating the best shop in the neighborhood. But being in business for more than half a century generally means you’re doing something right.

The service and quality we are known for have been around since Day One, and it’s still true today. When I took over the shop Joe’s began to be recognized for the top-notch service we have always provided. 

Between 2010 and 2016 Joe’s won Best of Chicago honors every year from the Chicago Reader. In 2012, Details Magazine named Joe’s one of the best barbershops in America. For our 50th anniversary in 2018 the City Council passed a commemorative ordinance recognizing the shop. In 2020, the shop was featured on the cover of the book Baberbshops of America - Then and Now by photographer Rob Hammer. 

Obviously these awards are nice, but we don’t wear them on our sleeves. But they recognize something important: that Joe’s provides quality cuts you can rely on. And we’ve been doing it for over 55 years.
