I went in tonight with Covid hair. - long curly mess. I haven't had my hair this long for 30 years. After searching on-line I decided to give David a try.He crushed it! I've never had a stylist who truly understood curly hair. Most stylists just cut it like straight hair and leave you with few options outside of cutting them all off. David gets it. Highly recommend - if you have curly hair and you're looking for an expert - see David - clearly a master!

Had an "emergency" Friday session with Andrew Dalton to fix several issues with my local salon as far as waxing my brows/ears (I'm visiting from out of town).He was very friendly and obviously professional in taking care of my waxing...he could teach many other salons how you can wax a guy's face quickly, neatly, and cleanly.Front desk staff was very on point, and they also offer a range of products to pick from.Support a pro-LGBT+ service provider and stop in at Chicago Male (wish I lived closer so I could be properly groomed like I prefer!)

I've been getting my hair cut and styled by David for nearly 6 years now and I cannot recommend him enough. Every member of the staff is warm, friendly and accommodating. Every four weeks I absolutely look forward to coming in to Chicago Male Salon. From my experience, David has the best fade in the neighborhood!

David is great with my curls! He gets my color just right too (red hair with highlights). He gives some damn fine mens cuts too but I don't have to worry about those lol.

I love this place. I followed my stylist here from another shop. Jazzy is the absolute greatest! I’m always kinda awkward when it comes to small talk but this gal is next level at making you feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. We laugh we cry and by the end of it I’ve got a gosh darn amazing hair cut before I even know what’s happened to me. She pampers you with the shampoo and is always attentive to your needs. Whether it’s another pour of wine or coffee or it’s just talking music or video games, this girl does it all with ease and style. I won’t go anywhere unless she is there! The absolute best I’ve ever had and I’d recommend anyone to try her out for a great cut/style and an even better hangout. She is a perfect example of what this place offers in terms of service and quality above all else!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a new hair salon, for the both of us. After seeing the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I absolutely love my haircut, I loved my boyfriends even more. Very friendly staff and helpful as well, they give you tips and don’t pressure you to buy products. My stylist Nick, listened to what I wanted and didn’t cut my hair too short. We are definitely going again. 😊

Great salon, great service, and Christian is fantastic! He was very professional, friendly, funny, and did an amazing job on my haircut / style. I was slightly nervous because I was doing a pixie cut for the first time. Christian executed the cut perfectly, matching it to the shape of my face, and showed me different ways to style it. I walked out of the salon feeling confident and sexy with my new hair style. Thank you to the salon and Christian for a great experience - I definitely know where I'm going from here forward!

First off when you go in they are so welcoming and very friendly. Jazzy did my hair and did a wonderful job to make my hair look nice and back to life. She also did my eye brows and came out awesome. Shes wonderful :)

I always love getting my hair done here. It's so clean and comfortable! I usually go to Jazzy and they do such a wonderful job with both cut and color. Go to Jazzy especially if you want to do some funky colors -- when I was able to have crazy colors, my head was always a masterpiece! I have also gotten some hair treatments and waxes, and I am always super happy! Chicago Male isn't just for men -- anyone can get their hair done there!

I’ve been Nick’s customer for about 2 years and couldn’t be happier when he decided to move to Chicago Male. The place has a great vibe and you get a free tea, coffee or wine as part of your haircut. Nick has great skills and I always feel awesome after getting a haircut from him. I’ll be a customer as long as I stay in Chicago!

Love this place!!! Right when you walk in you feel very welcomed both by the staff and overall vibe of the salon. Jazzy cuts my hair and always does a really great job; she takes her time and pays attention to the little details. Also, she has a fun bubbly personality and we always have a good time catching up while I’m getting my haircut. Definitely recommend Chicago Male and Jazzy!

I have been coming here for the past year and this place is amazing! David is by far the best stylist I have ever had. At this point, I don’t even need to tell him what I want, I just sit down and let him work his magic. The price is totally worth the experience.

Excellent place for a cut and style. David is the greatest, because I can give him complete autonomy and still totally trust him to make me look and feel good. He’s been cutting my hair for almost 10 years, and I’m glad he’s joined the group at Chicago Male. Wonderful experience from start to finish.

David is my go to guy at Chicago Male Salon. He is more than just a stylist or barber, he is a teacher & has grown to become a friend as well. He has taught me so many things about my own hair that I would have never known to do. He can style my hair at any length and has all of the knowledge of a true professional. Thank you David for your continued excellence. Ill see you again soon!

When I moved to Chicago, I tried a few places that were just ok. Then I found Christian at Chicago Male Salon and he has been giving me the best cuts and colors of my life! I came in wanting something new, never having been happy with my hair and he taught me how to work WITH my curly hair and how to welcome highlights for the first time. 10/10 would recommend Christian! Whole experience at this salon is always great too! Everyone there is nice and welcoming! Atmosphere is fun and laid back but professional.

Had a terrific experience in the salon working with stylist Stevyn. He encouraged me to try a new hairstyle (one that I didn't think was possible) but he pulled it off and I'm thrilled with my haircut. The salon has a very warm and welcoming vibe... and the best hair and skin care product selection around!

Steven Besic

11:54 07 May 19

Stevyn is an excellent stylist. He is thorough and has an eye for detail. His knowledge of the product line and his recommendations are always spot on so I can get the most out of my fresh cut or color. His facials are phenomenal too!

I've been getting my hair cut by David for over a year now and have never had a bad experience. He does a great job educating and explaining as he works. Chicago Male Salon has a great, friendly atmosphere and everyone is really good at what they do.

Chicago Male Salon is the best space dedicated to men’s hair around the city! I’ve been coming here for the past year and have loved the experience of being treated by people who really know what men’s grooming is. David LaSalle is my star to go and he has reinvented my hairstyle! His talent, charm, and knowledge are the best. Absolutely love this place and would recommend it if you’re a guy who likes to look & feel good (gays & allies!) 🙌🏽💯

Best haircut of my life. Christian is a pro and made me feel at ease. He also gave me great maintenance advice and styling tips. I walked out of there a happy, refreshed man. I will be back, albeit not every 5 wks. as recommended - price was a bit high from what I was used to.. but for the cut, shampoo and hot towel service, I can justify another visit as long as I reside in this neighborhood. I purchased a styling product, which I love. No pressure or upsell tactics. 5 stars!

Very nice atmosphere. Jason, the owner, is a super nice and chill guy. Felt super comfortable and well taken care of.

Great service. Only four star because, while they accepted credit cards, tips had to be in cash. Should have had a big sign announcing this. I was a first time customer, did know it, and had to went out in the rain and paid $5 ATM fee to get $10 for a tip.

Very excited that I started coming here, great atmosphere and staff. I see David and I couldn’t be happier. He does an amazing job and has a lot of knowledge to share! I walk out feeling fresh and renewed :) Definitely recommend coming here and seeing their senior stylist David.

I always go to Christian (the bearded fellow with arm tattoos) for haircuts and highlights. He is the best colorist I have had and I am always very satisfied with my highlights from him. As well, my highlights from him look natural and well-done for a longer time than was the case at previous places I went to, where my blond highlights would look washed out and embarassingly in need of a touch up much faster. I believe this is because he is experienced at what he does and has a very good understanding of what shades of blond pair well with my hair type, and of the science of hair dyeing in general.I will keep going to Christian for haircuts or colorings of any type for as long as I live in Chicago. The other stylists are very nice too - I am just very satisfied with Christian's work and he is a meticulous, friendly guy who provides thoughtful service.I ask for Christian when I need to get body parts waxed as well and he does a good job. I was previously waxed several times at a different salon for the same cost here and kept noticing that what I got waxed would look red in some places for multiple days. Ouch.... I thought I healed slowly back then because I was diabetic, but what I get waxed looks presentable faster when I get waxed at Chicago Male. I was also waxed at least once each by two other gentlemen here before getting waxed by Christian and had no complaints. All were well-trained and interesting to chat with.One guy I know told me he hesitates to go to this salon due to the "atmosphere." It is a salon full of well-groomed guys and maybe it is not the environment for everybody. I cannot really comment much on atmosphere except I feel welcome and it is nice that there is coffee, tea, and wine. As well, the stylists I have met there in the many months I have been going to Chicago Male have been pleasant, attentive, and respectful.

Nick is AMAZING!! He’s been doing my hair for years and I always regret when I don’t go to him. He gets my color and cut perfect every single time and his attention to detail is unmatched. He makes me feel like a rockstar in the chair and I’ve never left from an appointment with him disappointed. I highly recommend Nick, his passion for his craft is very evident and always listens to what I want and goes above and beyond for me.

I visited the salon this past Wednesday (6/20) and had a wonderful experience. Called ahead to make a reservation and the whole process was painless and efficient. Upon arrival to the shop, everyone was friendly and welcoming, particularly Lake.My barber was Jason, who was able to shape my hair into exactly what I wanted and did it expertly. The glass of wine I was given made the whole experience even better, as everything they do is elevated at this location. Fantastic service and a very knowledgeable staff. Chicago Male is my new favorite spot! Hospitality is top of the line.

Stevyn knows whats up and found a new style for me I'd never had been able to articulate or ask for. Thanks for changing it up for me and setting my look in a new direction.

From the moment you walk in to the time you leave the atmosphere is amazing . Wine & water are offered upon entering . Jazmine was my stylist , she trimmed my hair even , tapered my sides & customized my hair color . Give her an idea & she makes it come to life . Very passionate and creative with her work , I definitely recommend going to her .

Christian is a stud. The cut was good too.In all seriousness, it's a great salon w/ great service. Not that I need more alcohol in my life but the wine is great before, during, and after the cut. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.

I decided to pamper myself for my birthday, and got the Signature Facial at Chicago Male Boystown. What an amazing, relaxing experience! Andrew has a very gentle, smooth, and flowing technique that gave me an escape from the day's worries. I'd highly recommend you check out Andrew, and the spa team, at Chicago Male Boystown!

I am going to be quite honest, I was very hesitant to try this place out as I have heard some negative things. But I believe in trying things for myself. Overall, I would say that I am a fan of the place. I have been to many high-end salons and I am very particular about the way they operate. I noticed the place was very clean and hair was removed from the floor almost immediately -- which alludes to the attention to detail they have. Second, the service was good. The stylist asked follow up questions and made disclaimers so that I knew exactly what was going on, which I appreciated. No alterations were made without checking in. The hot towel on the face is a good addition to the service and is included with the service! Overall, I'm pretty sure I will be returning.

Very pleased with the service and my haircut. Go see Jesse (sp?). He did a great job.
