"Learn About The Best Spots in Wicker Park"

After sampling a few local barber shops in Wicker Park, I came across Floyd's 99 barbershop. It's near Wood St on busy Milwaukee Ave. If you're not watching out for it, you might miss it like I did. While I found out it is a franchise, they are very good at what they do and don't feel like a cookie cutter operation. It's a haircut and atmosphere unlike any other.

From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed by both the front desk as well as the barbers/stylists. Maintaining a busy schedule, I usually walk in without an appointment with ease. In the event they're busy, no worries! They have a great selection of magazines to keep you occupied. 

Once you get in the chair, that's where the experience really begins. You start to notice the great music they're playing (I believe they have their own streaming playlist) which is a nice alternative to hearing the same "today's hits" everywhere you go. Their affinity to great music doesn't just stop their as you'll also see wall to wall of posters of musicians and bands. Once your surroundings sink in...then comes the haircut, I mean that's what you were coming for in the first place, right? 

Granted, my haircut is fairly standard..."4 on the sides, leave some on the top to spike and style" you'd be surprised how many times previous stylists have left me with an uneven, and awkward look. Here, it's great to be at a place that can not only listen to what you want, but also execute that style while interjecting their knowledgable suggestions as well. I can't say I have a "favorite" stylist just yet but that's probably simply because all of them do a great job.

Their haircuts start at $24 ($17 for a buzz cut only) and if you're seeking more of a salon treatment, not to worry. They have a wide variety of services and product to compliment anyone's experience. I usually opt for the massaging shampoo myself. 

 

So Next time you're in Wicker Park, and in need of a great haircut and good tunes stop by Floyd's 99 Barbershop.
