Yelp!

Our latest customer review on YELP starts off:

" I signed up with yelp just to post this review ... I'm so used to going to chain haircut places, that I forgot what a real barbershop is even like. That all changed when I tried Joe's Barber Shop last week. Instead of an eight-minute assembly line approach to cutting hair, this one took about a half-hour - and you can tell the difference. Not only did Joe Jr. do a great job - he's a really nice and friendly guy. "

In the mid 2000′s, Kirk Merchant, owner of Truefitt & Hill barbershop, noticed that interest in traditional barbering was finally coming back after a long hiatus. However, there was not a sufficient supply of either barbers or barbershops to meet the future demand. So in 2008 he created the Chicago Barbers Association to promote the profession of barbering to a new generation. Then, in 2010, he partnered with Joe Caccavella, Jr and together they have begun bringing Chicago area barbers together to network and work together to revive the industry.
