The Parlor is Libertyville’s barbershop for every background and every style. Fades, classic cuts, kids’ haircuts, and beard work from four barbers who treat every client like family
We opened The Parlor to bring the kind of detail you’d expect from a “hood shop” into a clean, modern, professional room.
The result: a shop where anyone from any neighborhood in northern Lake County can sit down, get cut by someone who cares, and walk out feeling like they belong.

Classic cuts, modern fades, textured crops, beard work, kids’ cuts. Our barbers cut every hair type and every style.

We greet every client like we’ve known them for years. Real consultations, real conversations, real follow-through.

Family-safe music, sports on the TV, clean chairs, and a welcoming room from the second you walk in.

Four services, cut with care. We keep the menu short on purpose so every service gets full attention. Every cut starts with a real consultation and ends with a check-in, so you walk out loving the result.

Classic tapers, modern fades, textured crops, scissor cuts. Whatever style you’re going for, we dial it in.

Patient, friendly cuts for younger clients in a family-friendly shop. Fades, tapers, scissor cuts, whatever your kid (or you) wants.

Full service. Complete cut up top plus detailed beard work. The option most of our regulars book.

Crisp line work around the hairline with a precise beard trim. Quick, sharp, huge difference.

Skin, taper, low, mid, high. Fades are our #1 requested service and what clients drive in from across Lake County for.

Never been here? Our walk-in rates are flat and simple. See pricing below and stop by.
The best way to understand The Parlor is to sit in the chair. Book a slot on Booksy, or walk in and we’ll fit you in around our appointments.
We’re on Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville, central to Vernon Hills, Mundelein, Lake Forest, Gurnee, Grayslake, Round Lake, Waukegan, and Great Lakes Naval Station. Clients drive in from all over because of what they get in the chair: a real consultation, a cut done with care, and a shop that treats them like a regular from visit one.
We’re relational, not transactional. That shows up in everything we do, from how we greet walk-ins to how we check in mid-cut to make sure the style is what you wanted.
All appointments go through Booksy. Pick your barber, pick a time, you’re done in under a minute.

“My husband enjoys coming here for his haircut. Everyone is always very friendly. Nikko is one of the best barbers in Illinois.”
“Damian was very detailed and precise with his work. Been cutting my hair since a kid and hasn’t failed me since.”
“Damian is always great with my kids. He knows the ‘cool’ cuts and does an awesome job. You need to go to a place like this if you want something specific.”
Real grooming advice from Nikko and the team. From fade guides to first-visit walkthroughs, everything we write is the kind of thing we’d tell a friend sitting in the chair. Updated regularly.
