Where can I find a classic "barbershop" in Chicago? Twentysomething male from Toronto, Canada here. I'm contemplating a trip to Chicago in August - and something I have long loved the idea of doing is going to a true "barbershop" to have my hair cut. I'm talking right out of the *Barbershop* movies. Where the fellas sit around talking sports, politics, and the crazy things happening in the world. I'd also like to get my hair cut while I'm there... but it would seem that's somewhat of a secondary purpose.
In any case, what I'd like to know is this...
- Do these places actually exist, or have movies such as the *Barbershop* trilogy created an illusion for the masses?
- If they do exist, can anyone suggest a good place?

Looking for a barber. So I made a post a while back, and I tend to lurk everyday but now I need a bit of help. I've been trying to find a good place to get a pompadour. Any people know a great place for stuff like that, doesn't matter if it's a barber shop or a salon I just wanna get my pomp on. Thanks r/chicago
