Its not what is used to be, the Hispanic guy cut my hair and well never going in there again..he got me for 30 bucks. Worth more like 5 bucks..lol. Im a barber so didnt appreciate that.
My guy Rob definitely gave me a clean-cut and took his time. Appreciate the friendly environment and service.
Amazing haircut and great atmosphere. Rob is the man for giving me such a good cut. Super friendly place, would recommend.
Glad to have finally found a good barber for my son. All the barbers there were very friendly and professional! The shop was very clean & comfortable. And, my son got a very nice and well needed haircut! We will be back.
Professional barbers here with professional skills in slicing and dicing your hair the way its meant to look on you. Great hospitality and warm welcomes every time I walk through the door. Nice and relaxing atmosphere, really makes you feel like your @ home. Real busy and hard to get the time you want for appointments but other than that, this place is highly recommended.
Great first experience ! I have never taken my son to a barber shop before. I was very pleased with Chris and his skills as he was patient and friendly. He also listened to my concerns as my son always has a blotchy spot after getting a hair cut & he told me to not worry he was gonna fix it up & he did ! Definitely recommend this place and will be coming back !
I first found this Barbershop at the last minute on the morning of Thanksgiving. They were the only ones open. I have to say this is my 2nd time coming to the Barbershop The barbers are cool laid back very professional and also pay a lot of attention to detail I would definitely recommend them to someone who dont know where to go. Their prices are fair and its a great environment. Easy parking and convenient methods of payment.
Got one of the freshest line-ups I’ve had in a while . Being military and always traveling makes it hard to find a good barber . My mans CHINO hooked it up . Come through , you won’t be disappointed .
Wonderful staff with a positive attitude. When we walked in the door they were playing hip hop (which I have no issue with) but because me and my spouse are at a older age (not that old)they changed the music to old school R&B and did it in such a smooth and respectful way I couldnt even be mad about it! The conversation from Rob (who cut my wife hair) was great he asked if it was our 1st time in the shop, he asked what we had planned for the night and he gave his suggestions on where to go and what to see at the movies. Lets not even talk about their prices they are definitely the place to be in Lake County. This was an all around excellent service that was provided and I recommend this place to everyone.
One of the best haircuts a person could ask for. They really listen and take their time when cutting hair. Going in great detail. They are very passionate about what they do and it correlates to a prestige cut. The environment and atmosphere is positive and everybody is outgoing. Nothing beats kind people who love what they do. That’s amazing. Love it.
This may be a highly rated shop however, after several attempts to receive service I was continuously disappointed. I reached out to a barber here to schedule an appointment. The first time my appointment was cancelled last minute, the second time the barber was unresponsive and didnt follow through with setting up a time.I received a haircut here twice and both times were me just deciding to walk in after failed appointment attempts. I will never return because during my last visit the owner of the shop himself was cutting hair while intoxicated and I even overheard a colleague say youve been screwing up peoples haircuts all dayPoor business from my experience
I was looking for a Barber shop to get my hair reshaved on the sides and came across Barber shop and Salon V.I.P. Chris, not only shaved down my sides but did an amazing job on my design. As well as being an amazing Barber, he is very professional. So ladies and gentlemen, If you are looking to get you hair cut or you hair styled come check them out. I will definitely be back! Thanks again Chris!Felisha
Needed a last minute haircut for nephew birthday and it was past 8pm and Rob took great care of use I recommend this barber shop and rob for a haircut and don’t worry about Covid-19 they are sanitized and have mask available
I love this place. Everyone there was chill. The barbers are good at what they do. Chris Calhoun was the one who cut my hair. He was a very talented barber. He can do fresh fades and even designs. Ill definitely come back here for my next haircut.
This is one of the best shops in the area, it’s really nice inside and I also noticed how clean it was. I like the service here and they really know what they are doing. If your looking for a great haircut this is your place. I highly recommend this shop for anybody searching for a barber, they have great hours and the parking was perfect. I will definitely be coming back.
The wait times are way too long even if you make an appointment & the barber was rough with my 4 year old, good for older people not kids. The cut was decent though
I’m going to write a short and long review on VIP Barber and my experience. In short: VIP Barber is the full package, a true full service barbershop. Yes, that’s correct, if you’re reading this, and have any doubt on finding a new place, stop looking and try this barbershop. I can assure you that you will enter a stranger with a bad hairdo, but will leave happy due to your experience of interacting with your barber and confident in your new, detailed haircut. And you know what the best part is? All their cuts are extremely reasonable. You can pay the same amount at another haircut/ stylist shop and the quality and detail will not be on par with VIP.So in terms of a longer review, I recently just went there (my second time, obviously went back cause these lads are quality), but I just want to summarize the atmosphere at the shop. When you walk in you see a retro style barbershop with a touch modernism in their speaker and paint job. You walk in, hear some nice beats, and can just relax knowing you’re in good hands. When taking you in for your haircut they ask if the music is okay with you or when I went in for my first time and an older couple came in, they switched music to more old school melody for the older folks. Yes this is a small detail, but you have to understand this small details shows awareness of the barbers to accommodate for each of their clients. Every individual there really does care about each person, and that’s something you don’t see in the more commercialized or retail haircut stylist. Next, I just want to touch on the mannerism and energy of the people cutting your hair. You walk up to the seat to get your haircut and immediately you just feel like you’re in good hands. They’re communication skills are phenomenal asking if there is a certain style you want, and throughout the cut asking how you like the development of your haircut as they want to make it to the best satisfaction for their client. They always respond in yes sir or yes ma’am, making you feel like a welcomed member of their family. It’s a very warm experience and each barber offers high quality and attention to detail.Lastly I just want to talk about the barber I had today, Robert. I showed Robert a picture of what I wanted, and the man went far beyond the call of action to make the haircut better than the actual picture. Robert displayed excellent communication skills to ensure a top quality haircut, by showing me each step of the process to ensure it’s to my desire. I found Robert’s character very down to earth and a humble gentleman with the highest form of manners and taste in music. Robert went all out for the haircut ensuring each hair was in line and that each line was straight, pulling out different tools / machines to make his master piece. Again, Robert went far beyond my expectations and the attention to detail is unmatched from any previous barber / stylist I went to.If you made it this far in the review, go get a haircut at VIP Barber, you won’t regret it.-SG7
Robert! Excellent barber and very friendly. I would 100% recommend this place. I have been looking for a good barber all this time and I finally found it.
One of the best barber shops in Waukegan the atmosphere is always chill and coolMy haircut comes out always comes clean and crisp by Rico 💯Definitely should check it out!
I was able to walk in tonight and came out looking fresh. Rico did an excellent job on my haircut. I highly recommend this place.
I love this barbershop the barbers are very professional and very good at cutting hair.Their hair stylist Ashley is also one of the best when it comes to getting dreads, and braids. She makes my children feel comfortable and she takes pride in her passion for doing amazing her styles for us! If you havent been to V.I.P Salon and Barber shop give them a try and you wont be disappointed.
All the barbers except this one guy, he’s Hispanic, with tattoos. He doesn’t where a face mask or gloves and doesn’t go by the prices listed!! Never coming back!! He also stoped every 6 minutes and looked at himself in the mirror! I will never and I repeat never coming back!
A low cost high quality cut. Cool relaxed low stress atmosphere. I could tell how serious Rob is about his craft. The lighting he has gives his cuts an advantage that most barbers just don’t care enough to have. Overall an excellent experience.
Gave me a price on the phone and added 15$ when I arrived and said “On mondays we charge extra because no barbershops are open” And added “That person you spoke to charges a different price” As if it wasn’t him I spoke to 10 minutes before I got there.
I went to Robert and got the best haircut Ive had in years. Attention to detail and patient skill is what I noticed. It was my first visit and it will not he the last. Best $25 ($20 + tip) Ive spent in a barbershop. Just ask for Rob--- Sarge
Ive gotten my haircut by Rob, Chris, and 2 other barbers. I never leave disappointed. Very reasonable prices. They should have a ton more business with the quality haircuts they put out.
Want a barbershop where the is late every appointment? this is your place. Want a barbershop that plays music so foul when kids are present? This is your place. Want a barber that cancel an appointment that was made Without notice? This is your place. Want a barbershop where the barbers come and go anytime they want? This is your place.... I just left this place after giving it a chance going on Saturdays, I will NEVER return. This a bad business with bad barbers.... DO NOT COME!!!!
At first I was a bit worried about it because Im new to the area and Id had been at barber shops that sit you on the chair, ask you what you want then take your $15 without a single conversation. Not this place, they hook your fade tight, talk to you, then only take $10. I felt like all I did was leave a donation (of course i left a tip). No where else in my history of visiting barber shops in Texas, Wisconsin, or Illinois had I been treated and had a haircut to my liking like this one, definitely going back, thanks Robert!!! If your looking for a great barber shop this is the place.
Great service upfront and in the seat, Chino is a great barber and I recommend anyone who wants a fresh taper to go get treated by him. Thank you V.I.P. Barbershop and I’ll come back again soon.💯
This morning I found V.I.P on Google. Im very particular about who cut my hair and V.I.P seemed to be the only shop open before 9a. I took the chance and I thank God I did, Mr. Chris slayed my head. The atmosphere was welcoming, the music was relaxing, and Mr. Chris certainly perfected his God given talents on my head. Not to mention the price is unbelievable so and award winning barber. Ive found my new barber. Thanks Mr. Chris!!!
I recently moved from Chicago to Waukegan. I have been looking for a reliable barber for a while. I found a shop near my home and tried them out. This is my story..............I visited this shop and Rob was my barber for this visit. I was happy with my cut. When I attempted to make another appointment a couple weeks later I set up my appointment with Rob. We set up a time for 9am. I arrived at the shop at 9 am but it was closed. Several hours later I received a text from Rob stating that he was sick and couldn’t make the appointment. Again this was several hours later when he replied. My concern was that if you were sick that day, why did it take several hours to reply? Why did you set the appointment the day before if you knew you were sick? If you knew you were sick the day before, don’t you think you should have not scheduled the appointment until you got better? I could have made arrangements elsewhere. I had a very important appointment that day and I had to go to my appointment without my haircut. Today I had a appointment for a cut at 9 am. I received a message from Rob stating to me that he just arrived to the shop a little after 9. I was cool with that, however the next message was to rush me to see how long it would take me to get to the shop. I told him I’ll be there in 5 mins or less because I live around the corner. Rob then stated that he had another client waiting. When I arrived at the shop there was a client in the chair getting cut. Why was there someone in the chair when I had my appointment at 9? I had to wait at least 20-30 mins to get my cut. I didn’t stay around for the cut. I left and I will seek to find a more reliable barber and barbershop. In my short time in the Waukegan area I have witnessed this feckless leadership at different businesses in the area. I completely understand how things work in the world and I’m a realist, however the basic levels of customer service wasnt utilized in my situation. I have been in the customer service field for over 25 years and I work for a global powerhouse that makes customer service Priority #1. All business large and small should make this a core value to stay successful.The one thing you don’t do is make a customer feel devalued in anyway. My money and time are just as valuable as any other customer. I hope this message is seen as a way to improve business relations with customers and the fundamentals of customer service and the customer experiences. I hardly ever write reviews, however after two recent experiences with this shop this has made me want to start again. I listed the barber name because when a business or employee of a business gives outstanding service they want the world to know who they are. When a business or employee doesn’t give outstanding service they don’t want their names or business posted. I keep it fair and balanced.
Rob Is A Family Friendly Hard Working Barber That Stays Open Later Than The Rest & Adheres To Covid Regulations
Never a disappointment! I bring my son in for a haircut and I’m generally out in 30-45 minutes. Everyone is pleasant and I often look forward to the barber/beauty shop comedy, one of the many highlights to my visit.
So in my search as a new resident in Illinois to find a shop, I found myself at VIP. Everybody there was cool as could be from the get-go; the girl at the front did the intro, 1st guy I met (Chazz I think) was confident he could hook me up & seemed like pretty cool ppl as we talked outside. He was down to cut me basically immediately too. His partner ended up finishing 1st & actually ended up being the one to cut my hair to save me some time. His partner (Rob I believe) did a really good job & it was surprisingly quicker than I was used to. Id probably have him do a thing or two slightly different next time just cause Im kinda picky & I know how my hair is. After 1st visit though, Id say his skills are solid, no question & I def walked away with a clean cut. In all fairness, that was his 1st time cuttin my hair too so I think after he cuts me again, itll be like a walk in the park which is how it usually goes with me when it comes to finding a new barber in new places. Overall, Id say these guys know what theyre doing, cool & easy to talk to, chill vibe in their shop, they work well together & they try to get you in & out w/o having you sit around wondering when youre up next. Id recommend them & Id go back to either one of them no doubt.
Best barber I been to in the past two months. Definitely recommend coming here 💯🔥🔥
I was referred here by a coworker. I was amazed by the great customer service and I was promptly taken care off too. I had my hair cut by Robert and he did an awesome job! I will definitely be coming back for future haircuts.
I dont know what else to say but ...... I GOT A REAL HAIRCUT!!! Rob took great care of me. I was in a real barbers chair. Normally Im subject to getting mediocre haircuts at best. These other barbers dont take it seriously. Rob took his craft to upper echelon cutting. I havent seen myself look this good in a long time. Thank you and may God keep blessing and anointing you guys.
Best barber shop in Lake County hands down, Rob did a great job on my cut. You want a barbershop that delivers on service go to VIP, your money and your time will not be wasted .
Great haircut, great atmosphere, and great conversation with Rob and Chino. Bald fade by Chino was tight!! Highly recommend checking out these guys.
This my favorite barbershop. And rob is my favorite barber hair cut Be on fleek. Very clean and kid friendly environment. they have great customer service to where my mom doesn’t mind sitting in and waiting on me she don’t like ghetto places or poor customer service so I kno I made a good choice. I’m heading there now I’m in need of refresh
Sharp military haircuts, 15$ on Sundays only for skin fades and 10$ during the rest of the week. The shop is also open for more hours compared to any other local barbershop shop. I highly recommend this barbershop. As it is locally/family owned and very affordable for those on a budget.
Bit of a rough start, but if you set up an appointment, you wont regret it. Walked in to a good vibe and left feeling great.They make sure you get what you want.Worth it.
Chris was phenomenal called on a late Sunday evening and he cut my sons hair. He was prompt courteous and even made recommendations to my fiancé while he cut my sons haie. My sons hair cut was professional and he did a great job. His service was over the top. I visit Waukegan and neat.I highly recommend Chris.
I came in late right before close desperately needing a haircut and D hooked me up!! I even had a few bald spots and one big patch that I hated and needed fixed and he was able to cut my hair into an awesome style to where you couldnt even tell thag I had a huge bald spot on the side. I am very pleased with the service I received, I will definitely be back!!!
Greeted and sat at a chair immediately by Rob, given the best beard shape up and shave of my life. Definitely will be making my way back.
Good vibes, real talented barbers would definitely recommend my friends
Walked in and not a single person said hello not to mention I waited till Jesus almost came back. If it wasn’t for one of his disciples telling me to be still and patient I would have left already. Nevertheless no one had the decency to tell me they had appointments or special spots for special people. Also there’s a beauty shop that’s on the other side that is wide open for people to watch women of color get their hair done. Very ghetto in my opinion. On the other hand the prices are affordable and the decor is contemporary but ghetto in my opinion. I think I’ll be going back to a Dominican cause black folks have the worst customer service and attitudes.
This was the worst service. This guy cut my hair off not the way I like it and made me pay. Bad service and I sent other people to come get haircuts and they patched up his hair and made him pay. Not good experience and will not recommend
Go to ROB! This is the best barbershop in Lake County! If you military make sure you come through, they don’t push your line back, fades clean, and service and attention to detail is a 5/5!! I’ve been to every barbershop, this is the spot!
All the barbers except this one guy, he’s Hispanic, with tattoos. He doesn’t where a face mask or gloves and doesn’t go by the prices listed. Every other barber is professional and respectful.
Great service. There really wasnt a wait. A nice environment inside. I highly recommend this barbershop to anyone.
My barber rob was very good and attentive would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a barber
Shout out to Rob!! Was my first time and Im very happy with my haircut...very detailed and professional. Definitely my new spot!!
If youre looking for a good cut, Rob is your guy. Hell take time with it to make sure its right
Rob and the staff were very friendly and courteous to me and my grandson.DId great jobs on our haircuts,we will be back in a week or so.Great job from Vip barbershop
The best place for a haircut and for the prices other place cant beat that. The guys are very talented. My son and I are very satisfied. Now if you need a cut, be sure to check this place out for yourself. 5 Stars
This a very good place where give u mask there good for all races who need a cut rob is one of the best barbers and guys there he help out a lot and will get your cut together I would come here any day there very good services to people
First time here yesterday and Definitely be going back been searching for a new Barber for a while now walked in and immediately was greeted asked what i wanted done and directed to D, this man hooked me up Im originally from Chicago been in Waukegan for a min now and have not had a real cut since then until D hooked me up this man has mad skills. I havent had such a good cut for a while I thought I never would again until D took care of me, cool dude great conversations and laughs but most of all he made sure I didnt get out of his chair until I was completely freshend up. Shop vibes are welcoming and makes you feel you can just chill and relax, theres also Rob and Chris there and Im beyond sure if my man D is busy I have no worries they will hook me up. If your looking for a real straight up true Barber Shop that totally focusses on making sure the Cilent is priority then you need to stop in at Barber Shop & Salon- V.I.P.For sure found my spot.Thanks D,Papo.
Robert is awesome! He was very patient with my father who is 92yrs old and talkative 😆. My father loved his haircut.
This shop is amazing. Haircuts be nicely laid by Dionisio, he makes me look like a whole new person every time I come to him. Hes very professional and reasonable on his prices !!!!! I would refer him every time to everyone 💯💯💯
Big rob is the truth in this barbershop mess with him best experience ever💯 always show great professionalism and real effective with his art
Trust me go somewhere else!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% fail the fade trash, dirty clippers, what else to say!!!
Very professional barbershop, clean and quick. Shout out to Rob for getting me right ! Crispy Line up!!
Rob did an excellent cut on my younger brother’s hair! We will definitely be back. They just gained new business.
Been here multiple times Service is very good appointment based sticks to the time of appointment. Barber Very nice and easy to talk to and contact
Customer service has to be the worst. There haircuts are okay. Even when you schedule an appointment you still have to wait 30 minutes to an hour. The only reason they have customers is because there the only barbershop open Sundays.
The best braids Ive ever had done by Ms Dianna. While I was there I watched the most amazing hairstyles and hair cuts being done. This is the best shop in Waukegan to go to.
RECOMMEND 1000% Great place and staff! David was the one that cut my hair and he did an incredible job. I will definitely be coming back.
Both barbers Ive had there have been great. Courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I found a new regular place.
Rob the barber did his Thang on my boys haircuts and they were professional I recommend
The best barbershop I have ever stepped foot in. Barbers are very down to earth and welcoming. Not to mention the skills they have you know they know there craft.
Love this place! Excellent service! ROB and D are GREAT with Kids!!! Thank you so much for your Patience. You guys did an amazing job handling my very energetic and inpatient toddlers. 😄
Really liked this place gave me a good haircut for a really good price. Definitely a great place to go. People were friendly. Will for sure be back again
Everyone in Waukegan said check out VIP Barber and salon. Everyone in their knows how to cut and do hair. I guarantee you walk out of their looking like NEW MONEY. So check out the Vip Barber in salon where they would make you feel right at home.

Man let me tell you! The cuts A1 price & quality no words. The shop is chill so chill I fell asleep and woke up with a Mean all Clean cut, taper and one of the best fades! Just come through if you think I’m playin. Try it
The first few steps where troubling because anxiety of cutting my hair and social anxiety but the place made me feel welcomed. It really calmed me and has perfect people. Id recomend it to anyone.
Just got my hair faded by D, this man can fade. The atmosphere here felt great, great place to get a haircut. Will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks D
Great quality good prices as well. Rob gave me a good cut
Great shop, pays very important attention into detail of the type of hair style you ask for. Great interaction with the customers, good music always playing. Good price.
Robert very nice dude who knows all to know about cutting hair. Fantastic customer service to go along with the professional haircut that i got this morning. Thank you
Chino was my barber and he took care of me from beginning to end. Great service and hospitality.

Rob did a good job cutting my sons hair, doesnt rush.
Misleading prices. Got me for 35 bucks for an okay-ish fade. And they only accept cash.
The barber took the time to talk to my son and slip in some good advice while he recieved a perfect fade and line up.
My son haircut looks amazing. Thanks to Rob for a smooth experience.😊 I recommend this barbershop to all my family and friends.
Honestly been going around to different barbers as they always get my haircut wrong, BUT thats not the case here. Rob hooked me up with a fresh fade
Rob was great to get a haircut with recommend to get your cut here

2022-08-09Took both my boys 10 & 5 for mid fade. WORST EXPERIENCE. My kids came out with cuts, the guy really rough with both of them. Got frustrated with my 5 yr old because he would move. And to top it off it was $50 for their cuts where I normally pay 15-20 dollars each. The place was a mess only one barber.

2018-03-13Talented Barbers, Kid Friendly barbershop. Barbers have been the best I’ve been able to find in Lake County. I’d recommend it and best of all the Cuts are $10 CUTS!!!!!!

2021-09-07I have been bringing my kids to this barber shop since it was opened and we followed the previous owner from his previous barbershop. The barber Rob did and excellent job on my boys hair so we will continue being his clients as his work is of the best quality as the previous owner that moved away. He comes highly recommended.

2021-02-15I just moved to the area and i was looking for a good barber for my 3 sons, so a came to barbershop and salon V.I.P. I must tell everyone this place was better than i ever could expected. Clean, family and kid friendly, great music and polite staffing. Rob was patient with my boys and when i gave him a picture of haircut i wanted he made it look better than the actual picture. He even provided us with face masks. I will be back THANKS ROB!!!!!

2021-06-02ROB WAS GREAT...Soon as me and my god son came to the door we wasn’t all the way in and he was very professional and got us in and out and had that old school barber shop mentality where your barbershop is like family vibe. He kept everything clean and even kept my got son attention. Definitely my new barber.

2019-11-20Not going to lie, I was super nervous about going to a barber shop to get my hair done, but I wanted my recent undercut touched up and a little pizazz added. Christopher did an amazing job! The shop is nicely decorated and clean, and all the employees were very nice. I will definitely be going back in the future! The big guy with the beard was awesome too! 😁
