This place is a breeding ground for top shelf talent and professionalism. All backed by fantastic customer service.My recent visit they were able to work something out with me to allow my friend to utilize some of my appointment window!We greatly appreciated it, as understandably things get booked up weeks ahead of time.I had called the day before, however, so I’m absolutely not saying to expect them to bend over backwards or anything.I had to help my bud with a ride somewhere after my appointment, he happened to need a haircut, so I got my beard done only and let him get his haircut.I’ve visited approximately 5-10 times and I confidently tell anyone I will never go elsewhere. I dread the day I would need to move and be unable to go there.
Best place to get a haircut. My grandpa and I have been going there for over a year, and Ive never gotten a bad haircut. Amanda and Nick are extremely talented and I would definitely recommend you pick one of the two. Great environment, have a kids room, and even sometimes a dog. Ive been to the place across the street, but its not as good as beardsgaard. UPDATE 4 YEARS LATER: Went there today, Tyler is hilarious, gave me a great lookin cut. Would still recommend
Excellent local barbershop, Tyler and Sean are excellent. I will continue to go here as long as they are open. Their service and professionalism is outstanding. Great selection of products as well.
This is my favorite barbershop ever. Basically ruined me for any other shop! The owners and staff are amazing! The hair cuts are out of this world!And the best part is when you go in you are like transported to a different world! So many things to explore. There is lore, trading cards, amazing products made by them and others!I highly recommend you go and get an killer hair cut!
Very relaxed yet professional barber shop. Top tier quality. I have not seen a bad cut or beard trim leave this place. If you want a top notch cut, come here. Lauren and Lola are great. Appointments are best, but they do have a walk-in option. I would make an appointment on their website, and then don’t be late, cuz they are very good at time management.
I’ve been going to Beardsgaard for the last 5 years and it is by far the best barbershop I’ve ever been to. Once you form a relationship with your barber it’s like going to meet and old friend every month and you can talk about anything without judgement. They’ve made the scheduling process extremely simple and the owner’s even have their own line of products that are sold throughout the world.
Great experience! First time in and first time growing out my beard. Kate was outstanding! Did not know what to expect and I did not give much guidance to her but man did she deliver! If you are still reading this you should book an appointment!110% approved by my wife. She is more impressed than I am.
You ever walk into a place and instantly youre like yeah, these are my people? Thats Beardsgaard. This place is full of cool people and good vides. And Sean took my gnarly apocalyptic hair and overgrown hedge maze of a beard and worked magic and turned them into exactly what Id imagined with my minimal statements of what I was going for. I look really dang good right now and its thanks to Sean. I am delighted to have found my new regular barber and shop, and you will too if you go here.
Probably the best haircut place I’ve been too. I’ve tried so many places and this is the only place that does exactly what you ask them to do to your hair. Everyone there is experienced and I’d highly recommend this. The haircut is a bit more expensive than other places but it’s no rip-off.
I was not sure what to even ask for with the longer hair and beard I grew out during the pandemic. They offer great advice at no extra charge. Im impressed with the instructions given to me to take care of facial hair. Im impressed with the website. I look forward to the day when barbers can use a straight razor again when this pandemic is over. I could not afford to get a regular haircut and beard trim at the current prices when other Mom and Pop shops are less than half their cost. However, if I needed to spruce up for a wedding this is the place I would go. You definitely get what you pay for and I was not disappointed.
Keep in mind this barbershop main focus is beards.This barbershop is very famous and it’s better to make an appoiment with time so you can get attended.You can get a haircut but keep in mind is kinda expensive you can get the same haircut for 15 in other places here it’s almost double plus tip.Not bashing the place I got a few haircuts here and they were good.
They have a shop dog. 11/10 Best shop doggo ever. Goodest girl.... Oh and the haircuts are super on point too.
Great place for a great haircut! Quick service and follows strict COVID procedures. Got my first time haircut there from Marissa who did a great job of understanding what I wanted my buzz cut to look like.
This is a great place with a wonderful atmosphere and a group of dedicated professionals who offer a great service. I was a first-timer and I enjoyed my beard fixing from Kate I was very impressed with. I would feel comfortable recommending this location to anyone.
Really cool place with excellent service. Looking forward to seeing them again
The staff is great,Sean does a great job with my beard. Products they carry work out perfect. Mayberry had Floyds barber shop,Batavia has Beardsgaard,none better.
The Barbers are nice but appointments can be cancelled by the shop with no notice and tbh, you can get the same haircut for half price most places. When you want to know why your haircut cost $50, look at the glass dragon and you will have your answer
The friendliest group of nerds that are nothing less than HAIR PROFESSIONALS. My beard is ranked nationally, and I wont let anyone aside a barber from Beardsgaard do anything to it. Their walk-ins make it super handy to get service with my busy schedule, and every barber does a great job, Ive gotten better cuts from an apprentice than from my old barber that was in practice for 20 years. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
When Im growing out my beard I always keep it nice and neat with trim from Beardsgaard. Very cool and friendly staff and fun place to hang out while youre waiting for your appointment. They also have the accessories you need right there in the shop. Highly recommended!
Im a little bit nervous about letting people trim my beard but this place does a great job. Ive been a few times and Im always pleased with my hair and beard cut. Its a fun place with a fun staff! I highly recommend it.
I Use to only go to this place for my haircuts and beard trimming. I would still go here, but I found a place closer to me that offers the same great service.
I have had two haircuts there thus far. Pretty decent cuts. I dont have to tell them too much of what I want. But I work and drove over an hour to get there, got there an hour before closing and they had no more openings. The guy at reception couldnt care less that i fought traffic for an hour. NEVER going there again. Not worth the effort. They are too good for a loyal customer. Not anymore. No more recommendations from me. How do they expect to expand their customer base? Smugness and indifference doesnt sell.
I drive 40 minutes to get my beard trimmed and my haircut from here. No other place around does it as well. Everyone of thier barbers are awesome. Other places you pay for a beard trim and they seem to just barely go over it or have any idea what they are doing. Beardsgaard on the other hand makes sure you leave with a perfect cut. They listen to what you want and are masters of their craft.
Great service, great ambience, convenient booking system. I also have to say that they REALLY know what theyre doing. I showed up for my appointment. I got a great haircut, beard fixing, line up and talked extensive D&D nerdery with Tyler while he worked. 20 minutes later, MAYBE, I was out the door with a bottle of beard oil. Professional, good speed, friendly people. Only has one dog though. Could use more dogs.
Great barbers in a really cool place. Great for all guys, but they do female styles. These barbers do a great job on beards. Longer beards are hard to trim and control, and all these barbers understand facial hair and know exactly how to take care of it, and make it look its best. They all have great signature hair styling too. Check out their website. I know you will like this place!
This is the best barber Ive ever used. And if you have any nerdy hobbies, there are always people to speak with about them. Its amazing. And there is a dragon in the shop!
Lauren , best haircut ever! She definitely has a new customer. Great place, very comfortable and love the decor! Always make an appointment about two weeks in advance to get the time you want. Youll see why after you go there. Thanks Lauren, you are the best!
I wish there was more stars to give this establishment. I went there today for haircut and beard work. Sean was my barber and he knocked it out of the park. The owner Tyler was great and friendly as well as a gentlemen named Pete. When you think of the perfect shop this was it for me. I will definitely be back. Thank you gentlemen
This place is great, as a bald man I didnt have much need for a barber anymore til growing out my beard. Jackie always has me looking my best, well worth the wait to get a cut from her. They offer a ton of great products on top of there excellent service, happy to drive out of my way to get my beard trimmed her.
You can never go wrong with Beardsgaard. Talented barbers, amazing space, and a super good selection of beard and hair products, some produced in the Apothecary next door. I never hesitate a referral to Beardsgaard Barbers, there is no doubt they are at the top of their game and loving it.
Fantastic old-school barbershop. No coloring or overly fancy stuff, just great haircuts and shaves. As the name suggests, they specialize in beards of all kinds and have a wide selection of care products, both self-made and commercial.They do have walk-ins, but get there early because the list fills up fast. Id recommend scheduling your appointment well in advance. Its worth it.
They are a very busy place, because they do a really good job. They cut my boys hair, and it looks really, really good! Everyone that works there is friendly with a good sense of humor, and that makes the place have a really cool atmosphere. There is a place for the kids to keep occupied and have fun while a dad can take care of his hair biz, too.
Came in for the first time today after hearing great things about them. Scheduled an appointment with Sean. Best experience I’ve ever had at a barbers. I was very happy with my haircut.
It is my first time growing a full long beard, and I have left it alone for months. I decided it was time to get some professional help with the first trim. I called Beardsgaard Barbers up and was surprised that they could get me in about 30 minutes later as a walk-in. Friendly staff and cool atmosphere. I saw Scott who seems to be their guy for walk-ins. I briefly described what I was looking for with the hair cut, and that I was looking for advise on styles and also upkeep tips for my first beard. Scott asked questions to hone in on my tastes as well as grooming style. We talked through what would look good on me and fit my life style, then Scott got to work. As he went he took extra time to explain some of the grooming nuances for the beard and things I could do at home to trim, straighten my curly beard hair, keep it soft & manageable, etc. Scott also explained a few of the products he was using and why, but their was no push trying to sell me something. Scott did a great job with the hair cut and the beard trim, and I learned a lot from his expert tips. I ended up getting their own line of beard butter as it seemed it was quicker & easier to use than some of the beard balms I had been using, while also making it soft and manageable. All told, very glad I decided to check out Beardsgaard!!! Will definitely be going back!!!
This is the place for you!!! All beards are treated equal here....you can get full service hair, beard, etc. You will have to make an appointment, (as one should). But they are very often on time, and schedule accurately. A very nice choice from a barber shop option of NEXT ?.... Awesome folks there, and great products specializing in beard control. Pay attention to public parking signs, things are changing down town Batavia, Il.
You can tell that their passion is making beards look good and that its not just their job. Fun environment but refined at the same time. Over 40 minute drive from my house and I will be doing it every time my beard needs a trim no question.
I recently moved and needed a new place to get my hair cut. After putting it off for several months, I made an appointment here with Lauren for a haircut and beard trim. I told her that I wanted to keep my hair a little longer but I needed it to look professional. I also wanted something that I wouldnt need to style. I ended up with the best haircut Ive ever had and a great looking beard! Thank you Lauren for my new amazing hairstyle!
Great experience for a fair price. First time in and wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but walked out with a great cut from Tyler. Nice place, everyone is professional and seems very organized. Will definitely be coming back.
Not that impressed. I got an below average haircut. But maybe because I didn’t get the barber I would have liked to go for. Might give one more try with another barber here.
The BEST barber shop around! All the barbers are amazing, desk staff is awesome. Always great conversation with Morgan(shopkid) and love hanging out with the shop pup while my sons are getting their hair cut. Great for all ages
Best place to get a haircut and/or a beard trim. Place is awesome to look at and be in and all the barbers are highly skilled and very friendly. Make sure to make an appointment a couple weeks ahead of time. Very busy place. They accept walk-ins on certain days, if youre lucky. Check the website to be sure before going.
Edit: We do not come here anymore because the last time we went in they did something that was kinda sketch. I understand pricing can change without notice but I think you should tell your customers prices have changed/increased BEFORE performing the service instead of doing the service & when they come to pay, theyre bombarded with a different price. A few dollars isnt a big deal but it comes off as unprofessional & as if the establishment is hiding something/trying to pull a fast one. Id rather spend money if it was done honestly.My boyfriend gets his haircut here & he loves it ! Alex does an amazing job - we always have to schedule 2 appts ahead of time because he’s always so booked ! Staff is super friendly & welcoming.Atmosphere is nice & enjoyable if you’re waiting. Great music selection. They do have someone doing walk ins daily, but I’d recommend making an appt just to be sure. They also have a large selection of products - oils, sprays, texturizers, etc. Love this place !
Great hair and great barbers and place I- as life long scifi/fantasy nerd- can feel comfortable with the conversation and environs. They also have a great selection of hair/beard products both house made and from abroad. Just make sure you make an appointment well in advance. This place keeps their chairs full, deservedly so.
5/5 beard trim from Tyler.I was super anxious coming here for the first time, not knowing what to expect. Once I arrived I was happy to see it was super chill. Everyone was really friendly, the place wasnt overcrowded & crazy (despite what you might think due to trying to schedule).Tyler was great. Nice and mellow dude with an expert hand. He really transformed my beard into something I cant stop looking in the mirror at. Im super proud of my beard and the trim I got and will definitely be taking the time to come back here in the future.
Best barber in the western burbs, bar none. Kate is phenomenal barber and I cant recommend her highly enough
Coolest people, best homemade beard oils and products, and beard stylists/staff. Great products and cuts for the bearded, and even for those of us with hair only on our heads. This isnt just a barber shop...its like Cheers where everybody knows your name. And theyre always glad you came. You can expect amazing people, decor and most likely some great storytelling from Tyler, the owner, along with his wife Natalie. Check out their website...Natalies photography is incredible and youll find yourself in a whole new realm of awesome. Go for the beard stuff, but stay for the lounge area, culture, conversation and the adorable dog. Thats really just the beginning. Its an experience in itself. Go now you must!
If you want to go to a barber that will make it impossible to ever go to another barber again then this is your place. I drive a half an hour to get there but I know plenty of people who come from the city. Tyler is the man, but everyone there are excellent in their own right.
I love getting my haircut here! Close to home and very affordable. Plus all of the barbers/customers are super fun to talk too! Highly recommend.
Cool barber shop in batavia. Wasnt sure what to except when making an appointment. I cant grow a beard well, so I thought Id be out of place. But when I walked in it was very warm and friendly. The barber help me pick out a good cut to suit me. Was very happy with my cut. Will go again and recommend. Check out there Web page for more info and pics.
Kate was fantastic. I only got a beard trim, my first ever. She was very patient and explained what she was doing. Their beard butter works great and smells like chocolate.
I love Beardagaard. It can be hard to get a reservation and the booking on the website always seems way harder than it should be, but its definitely worth it.Alex in particular does an amazing job. Hes very professional and friendly. He always remembers my cut and blades and gets me in and out. Ive had a from other barbers, but I always schedule Alex if I can.
I want to start off by saying I received no incentives for writing this review.I’ve been growing my beard since mid August and it’s now mid January. I looked like I had wandered out of the woods... the deep woods. My beard was a giant mess. So I jumped on Google to try and find a place that had great reviews and a certain unique feel. Finally, I came across Beardsgaard. I jumped on their website to book an appointment. I wanted my first experience there to be with the owner to get a true feeling as to what this place is about. Sadly, due to my schedule and his, I had to wait a couple weeks before there was a time that would work for the both of us.It was worth the wait! This place hit that nail right on the head for what I was looking for.My girlfriend and I were blown away right away when we walked in through the door from the cool and unique decor, all the beard products they sell, the background music and the cool old dog chillin in one of the waiting chairs. The overall atmosphere scored a 10/10.Tyler, the owner, is talented. I asked him to look at my situation and give me his recommendation for what I should do before telling him what I was thinking. He pretty much described what was in my head and I was pleased. He started to go to work on my beard and he didn’t rush or cut corners. He was thorough and the end result was amazing. He gave my beard direction and purpose. He also talked with me about the right way to care for and maintain my fresh new look. He showed me some products and answered my questions. I never felt like he was trying to “sell me” on anything which was refreshing. This place is awesome and I will be back! Thanks Tyler!
When you have a beard, you must go here. My hubby has tried others, but just not the same. Beardsgaards environment is amazing and the skill if the barbers is the best.
I was very unhappy with my service thereI was super uncomfortable the entire time I was getting my haircut and beard trimmedI asked for advice because I wasnt entirely certain what I wanted done. Being as I havent been to a barber shop before.She didnt want to help me figure it out and told me that she needed some direction on where to start instead. By the time it was over I was so uncomfortable I just wanted to leave. Even though I was unhappy with how it turned out.I guess Ill go back to doing my own hair and beard.
Really great barbers, Amanda is my favorite, super neat deco, and the music is cool. Oh yeah, and they have a really cool big ol dog that hangs out, or a really little, slightly obnoxious dog. It can be busy, so try for a reservation, but if you walk in, they will take you if they can. Quality work done here. Check em out.
I would give .5 stars if i could. My first time ever going here. I had to wait an hour so thats no bid deal. I asked before i scheudaled an appointment how much a mens haircut is and the lady said $22. So i was good with that. By the time i sit down and my appointment starts it was 6:20...THEY FINISHED MY HAIR CUT AT 8:00!!!! Almost 2 HOURS FOR A TRIM ON THE SIDES OF MY HEAD!!!! The girl messed up on my head and i had to specifically tell her she kept missing spots. She kept telling me she faded it fine and it was the color of my hair that was throwing me off when clearly even my gf (who doesnt even cut or know anything about hair) told me she didnt blend it well at all. 3 BARBERS WORKED ON MY HAIR! This has never happened to me before. I was very patient and kind and by the time i went to go pay, they told me my total was $23.00... And i kindly told them hey you guys kinda messed up on my hair and it was almost a 2 hour hair cut, can i get a discount? And then the manager walks up and says youre already getting a discount because you worked with an apprentice I never asked to be put with an apprentice. I walked in there thinking some proffesional would be taking care of my haircut. They should have offered me that in the begining, not throw me in for some apprentice to practice cutting my hair... So the manager rudely says so you want a discount on top of your 15% apprentice discount..? And i say yes of course... And he rolls his eyes and only gives me $3.00 off... STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE GUYS TRUST ME! Ik some of the reviews look good but they just want your money. They dont care for their customers. Never going back ever again! Worst customer service i have ever seen. They also gave me a terrible haircut. I have tiny hairs sticking up on the side of my head. Its terrible.
I came here for my hair cut last week and was very amazed at the service these guys offered me with. They were very considerate and careful. My haircut was so attractive and pleasing. Ill be coming here for haircuts.
Walk-ins not really welcome. I returned here as Amanda did a great job on my hair. I walked in on Monday morning not long after they opened. They said their apprentice could take me an hour and a half after I walked in! there are 3 people ahead of you, the Male receptionist said. Ok...I come from Chicago so I get having to wait as a walk in, however.... THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE PRESENT AND WAITING! Does that not defeat the point of walk in? To which the rude receptionist replied, nope. I had clearly wandered into the trendiest and in-demand shop in the Chicagoland area as this guy felt everyone understands what walk-in means at Beardsgaard. I chatted a bit with Amanda who had was currently available and still...no availability until much later. Yes I walked out without my haircut. And here I am with their 2-star review. Redefine your policies here, Beardsgaard, and you wont come across as confused and pretentious.
I pass many haircut places on my 24mi journey to Beardsgaard!!! Tyler, Alex and now Jackie have made the effort well worth the time and energy! Great ambience, Great products, and Great hair/beard work and Greater people!
Because Im a woman, I didnt expect too much, but my coworker (a bearded gent) swore by this place.I went in, asked for something between the Tennant and La Roux (because Ive worn something like the latter before) and I was totally blown away! Not only did they get EXACTLY what I was looking for, it was super quick and cheap and come on, they have a dog. Whats not to love about that? And they were incredibly nice people, super chatty, and I had a great time.Guess whos rescheduled again? Because winter is coming!The place is full of cute, geeky knick-knacks, has awesome books to read/flip through, and the barbers chairs are antiques! Great music, too!
This place is awesome. Lots of professional barbers and also really nice attention to detail when it comes to beard. Tyler and Kate are really good here.
Only barbershop Ive been to where I know I will get consistently great haircuts. I typically have my beard trimmed as well and love the result everytime.
The week of our wedding, my husband had a great haircut and even better beard trim at Beardsgaard! The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was really cool, and he felt relaxed and looked great afterward.People commented on his beard at our wedding, congratulating me for marrying Seans beard.. suggestions of a facebook page dedicated to the beard also may have been thrown around... Cant ask for more than that. Thanks, guys!
Visiting from Texas and stopped by on a friends recommendation. Sean gave me a great cut, mustache trim, and an incredibly gentle shave. Ill definitely be back on my next trip.
Their policies during this COVID-19 period were simple and straightforward. It was no hassle and straight to the point. Clearly cleanliness has continued to be of the highest. It is these things and quality for which I drive almost an hour just to be taken care of.
Awesome. I mean these guys helped me tame the monster. You walk in and realize they are the real deal. Popular is an understatement. Download the app they recommend for online appointments and find a time that works. I recommend the beard oil and paste. Fair prices but remember they are barbers you need to tip.
Love this place. Great ambiance and culture. The Barbers here are very good at their jobs. Staff is friendly, social, and funny. They have a huge variety of beard care products to choose from.
Best Barbers in the burbs. If you have a beard, they will make it a great beard. They sell the best beard care products. Im half so I cant comment on hair care but Im sure its high quality.
Having been coming to see the fine folks at Beardsgaard since their inception, my review may be a bit biased. These people are stupid great at what they do. They have done a damn fine job at growing their business by providing phenomenal haircuts, beard trims and straight razor shaves (although myself, Ive never partaken in the latter) to the people of the burbs. Word of mouth referrals and recommendations spread like wildfire and now you must book months in advance for an appointment that works for your schedule or you can walk in and hope that Scott is in the zone that day and flying through walk-in clients at a fast pace (but still taking the time to provide a quality cut that will have you feeling new again). I love this place, my son loves this place and my wife loves this place (but only because I come home with a new bottle of Captain Fawcett Booze N Bacci beard oil...for me to use and her to enjoy the scent of).
A wonderful atmosphere with a very talented staff. Its a my favorite barbershop. They get pretty busy so its best to book and appointment if you can.
Worst Hair cut ever, Lolo did not listen to anything I said. She cut off my hair and it was to short and a bad comd over. No way I would recommend this place
I did a walk in I guess we pay less than the person with an appointment..when I asked I realized you pay the sameWhy do I ask?The barber that I got seemed completely cluelessHe messed up my mustache and trimmed way too much the beard when I had specifically told him that I was letting it growThen he had to ask another barber to try and fix the mustacheAt this point not only am I mad cause Im not getting the same importance as other customers but the new barber is trying to tell me I had trimmed it wrong when I had not touched my beard and thats why I was there to begin withThen he tried to convince me it was because of the growth of the mustache when this is not the first time Im getting it done so I know the outcomeI guess the owners dont realize that every barber in there is the image of the barbershopPersonally I wont be coming back and its not a place I would recommend
Tyler is great! I learned a lot more about beard care, plus Ive got a great haircut, too. Traditional barber stuff plus new and inventive ideas, too. A little street parking, but plenty in the back.
Where does one begin with the amount of in-competencies that embody this place? First and foremost, I was a devoted client, receiving haircuts 1x month since they were a small operation. As their business grew they have inevitably inherited a significant amount of ugly stretch marks that rear their ugly faces when you attempt to use their services.•Customer Service: An absolute mess. Try scheduling a haircut. Would you like a haircut three months from now? Because 3 months apart is the only open available dates they’ll offer you to schedule. Not to worry, maybe you can jump to a Great Clips in between your irregular appointments with Beardsgaard. OR, maybe you’ll try their “Walk-In Wednesdays”…•Walk Ins: Non-existent. Sure, they tote they have a Walk-In Wednesday. But when you walk-in and find the only free floating, non-scheduled employee spends an hour and a half on one haircut trying to build her clientele, you’ll quickly realize their walk-in Wednesday are there to appease those who cannot get scheduled out for three months. Good luck, you’ll get through reading and memorizing every word of War and Peace quicker than you will a haircut with a walk-in…•Business Acumen: As any good business, their end goal should be to offer a service, build and maintain a client base through customer service and lastly turn a profit to keep all of the above afloat. If Beardsgaard is truly in the business of being in business, they’d quickly summarize that they’ve outgrown their current model. Rather than spending their net-profits on non-value added items such as; a wall mural, a pet lizard and Comic Book Memorabilia, one would think to serve clients and continuation of growth would be investments into additional square footage and stylists. If step one of the process (offer a service) is a struggle to completed, then the rest fails… as is with the current state of Beardsgaard.Net-Net: Suggestively take your business elsewhere, where you will be served, accommodated and likely scheduled and back within a month. If you prefer waiting 3 months between cuts with poor customer service, then continue on your tree-cutting ways Lumber Jack…
So, I had seen their beard vids on the good old Youtubes, and thought Id treat myself to a nice cut and trim. I was not disappointed. Went with a walk in that turned out to be a 2 hour wait, fine Ill know better next time. But that gave me a chance to wander around Batavia.Getting to the cut, Alex really took his time to ask what I was looking for in a finished outcome. I liked the attention to detail he gave my skull. The razor work and hot towel were nice. It gave a sense that their looking to bring back the old thyme barbershop and adding more quality, over quantity of asses in and out of their chairs to turn a profit.So, in future make appointment, hangout, and relax. Thanks Beardgaard.
I dread haircuts. Im the guy who always leaves it up to the barber to tell me what I need, and Im often disappointed. I was not disappointed by Beardsgaard Barbers. They gave me the best haircut Ive had in years.
Tyler and His Staff are shaving it up and clipping it down in a modern take on an old concept. Live Like a Viking and storm the place for your next cut.
These people really know what theyre doing. This is the only place I go now to get my hair cut and beard cleaned up. Make sure you book an appointment or get here first thing in the morning. People love this place so it fills up fast.
Moving from the city to the burbs and finding a new beard sculpter seems nearly impossible but I found Lola at Beardsgaard. I walked in like a savage and left out G Q. Thanks Lola!
Skilled Barbers, nice to go to a place that actually knows what to do with a beard. Great atmosphere. Feels like the kind of vintage shops and tattoo parlors I like to visit.
As a barber who went there to check the place out and be a guest barber I am underwhelmed. Sanitation is questionable and when I went there to see these old school mom and pop barbers who claim: Our haircuts are old school barbering at its best, the classics that have always and will always make men look their best, executed with the traditional techniques passed down by generations of barbers. Generations? The owners have only been licensed for about 3 years. Now they have been in business for 2 years and in those 2 years they cant fix the plumbing or get better lighting? Maybe they should stop buying so many Star Wars and Star Trek second hand memorabilia and truly fix the place. Upside: great location - not a lot of other shops and no franchises in the area - so far. But they really need to stop promoting themselves as if they know what an old fashioned haircut/shave really is...you have been in business longer than you have been barbering? Wow.
Tyler gave me a beard trim and some good knowledge on how to maintain my beard. It is a really cool looking place, and feels really welcoming and relaxing. I highly recommend going here.
I drive 30+ min to come here. Best place Ive found to get a beard trim. Knowledgeable barbers who care about quality and are willing to answer any questions.
Hands down my favorite barber shop. Their culture is amazing and their cuts are fantastic. Highly recommend.
Everytime you do my guys hair and beard it is so perfect. Love the attention to detail and how good he feels after a cut.
Went and did my annual headshave and Sean hooked me up right. Make sure to book an appointment online- walk in isnt always a sure thing
First time for me. Im growing out my beard. Lola was my stylist. She was on-time, very cheerful and did a fantastic trimming my beard. I will be back.
Ive been going to Beardsgaard for about a year and a half. For the past 8 months Ive been seeing Amanda exclusively. In this time, my beard has been full, healthy, and looking great. Cant say enough positive things about Beardsgaard and Amanda.
Great service and very knowledgable staff! Great razor shave and beard trim. If you have a beard and want it taken care of this is the place!
Its worth the drive for me, they always do excellent work and can do incredibly razor fades for haircuts and beards!
I drive about an hour just to get in the chair here. Love the ambiance and the people. Dutch gave me the most perfect low reg cut Ive ever gotten. Cannot wait to return.
Fantastic barbershop. Great service, wonderful, atmosphere, affable and knowledgeable staff, and most importantly, the closest shave in town
Everyone gives me a look and says batavia?!?! when I tell them where he goes for his cuts but he likes it (and I do too) so its worth the drive! The most recent trip I got to pet a nice dog while I waited for him to be done and got a heavenly smelling lip balm for myself. I hope one day theyll open a womens side with a complementary theme, like 50s beauty shop meets octavia butler or something. I can dream anyway!
Knowledgeable staff and very cool atmosphere with decorations and music. Laid back place that is somewhat steampunk/hipster-esque and very unique. Heavy focus on male haircuts and beard trim services.
Lauren (LT Taylor) gave me an excellent trim and shaping. Her service was top notch!!
The best haircut and shave in Illinois. Expert barbers, awesome space, theres a reason people travel from Iowa to get their beard- and haircare here.
Im torn. The place has an awesome vibe and the haircut was perfect, but the barber seemed annoyed when my son didnt describe the haircut he desired in perfect barber lingo, and even though they advertise walk-ins being welcome, last time I walked in, they said it would be 90 minutes and only one person was getting a haircut at the time.
I love beardsgaard! They take great care of your grooming needs. Always helpful and understanding of what you Want to have done!
Great barbershop. Was worth the wait. They are busy but they have one person on walk-in schedule every day. No wait at all.
Ive known Tyler since day 1 in Barber school, and hes a haircut master. I drive 2 hours just to get his haircuts because he seriously is the best.
Add a star for the decor, another for the products, another for the knowledgeable staff, one more for the trim and a final star for the dog! 5 out of 5 stars - will definitely be coming here again!
They cut my hair made some mistake and didnt tell me they made mistake, i had to find out at home :( and cant get right haircut for me, had to explain twice, and bring wife to explain and still cant get it right. :( too expensive and still make mistake compare to cheaper place :(
Best haircuts and beard trimming around. Great shop. Classy but casual atmosphere. Staff is great. Worth the trip from Wheaton.
The best haircut & beard service/products that I have ever experienced. Wonderful people and I can not say enough good things about them.
Great haircut, better atmosphere. If youre a little nerdy, a little hipster, or a little cool in general, this is the place for you!
The only place Ill go for a haircut now. Friendly, talented staff. Mens haircuts done right. Even my son loves them, and hes only 3.
The design on my undercut was everything I wanted!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience and excellent work on my hair!
Came in for a walk-in. Amanda did my haircut and beard trim. Very happy with how it turned out, and most importantly my wife loves it!
I dont know why the two bad reviews BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME! SUPER FRIENDLY AND THEY WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WHILE YOU WAIT. THE BEST PART IS THESE GUYS ARE REALLY TALENTED WHEN IT COMES TO BEARD STYLES AND HAIR STYLES. I LIVE BY OHARE AND I MAKE THE TRAVEL THERE FOR 100 PERCENT PURE QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP. ERIC DID AN AWESOME JOB ON MY BEARD.
I just took my son there today and Alex did an awesome job cutting his hair. Its the best looking cut hes ever had.
Love the attention to detail at this shop. Literally the only place allowed to shape my beard
Great atmosphere and incredibly detailed staff making sure each person is fully happy. Went in as a group and everyone loved their cuts.
Impressed by both the result of my cut and the personality of the barbers. They went above and beyond with service for a price that was a great value
Youre simply the bestBetter than all the restBetter than anyoneAnyone Ive ever metIm stuck on your heartI hang on every word you sayTear us apartBaby, I would rather be dead
This is the 2020 version of an old-school barbershop. If you want an absolutely awesome beard trim and haircut, a shave whatever you need this is the place you want to go.
Nerdy barbers, great atmosphere, awesome products, and killer haircuts. 11/10, will be back again.
First Time there. Enjoyed the Experience. Im picky about My Beard and Tyler did a Great Job.

Best barber shop I’ve ever been too, I would highly recommend it to anyone!!
Best place for a beard trim and straight razor shave. Excellent, well-experienced staff and great atmosphere!
Staff is as friendly as they are skilled. After their remodeling its also much easier to get an appointment.

2022-08-20I was searching for a local barber in my parents town and was recommended to visit this spot by google. The reviews were great, pics looked epic and they just so happen to have an opening. I was greeted by the door and checked in. I was able to score an appointment with Tyler last minute which is something more rare than diamonds. He was such a down to earth and cool guy. Modern day gentleman if you will. We chatting on shop esthetics, beard grooming dos and dont, shop history and he recommended some awesome products which he truly believes in. He spent some time and helped me with directions for my product purchases. I went with a haircut and beard style and it was worth ever single penny. The shave was top notch, I never felt rushed or just another client. Warm towel, hot lather. I mean come on!! I will 100% be coming back in a few weeks with my already scheduled appointment. Thank you for the amazing experience in what a true haircut and beard grooming is like. 5 starts just doesnt seem enough. Well done. well well done. 💯👏

2022-03-27Wow! This is not your standard great clips experience. Best haircut Ive ever had in my life. Tyler was an absolute expert who took the time to talk to me about what I wanted to do with my hair, then discuss options based on my hair type and tendency. Great selection of well priced hair products.Amazing atmosphere. You can tell everyone there is an expert that really takes pride in their craft.I now completely understand why they are consistently booked up to 4 weeks out. Ive found the last barbershop Ill ever need.

2022-05-20This is a fantastic barber shop! Amazing ambiance to be in with a very kind and caring staff. They sell amazing products (some made by them and some not) and give top of the line haircuts. I am extremely satisfied with the services I’ve been provided and I will definitely be going here many times in the future. *For reference Kate has been my barber*

2022-07-31Tyler was great! Took his time figuring out how my beard grew and offered suggestions based on what I told him what I wanted for a beard style. Appointments are hard to come by but you can expect a long wait due to the high demand of the barbers. Super chill atmosphere and extremely clean environment.

2021-08-28Great experience as always. Sean is excellent at his craft. Everyone you encounter is on top of their game! Will continue to recommend to anyone looking for a solid barbershop! The product selection they have available is always a nice bonus!!

2019-03-05Great and friendly place. The conversation with the staff is something you will find in common. They joke with you and make you feel at home. The hair cut is fast and as great. I was looking for a place that shaves as well, you will get a great shave here. There is nothing wrong with this place at all. They have a section for your kids to play. But, always a but. Hahaha. The pricing was a little too high as what I paid for both a haircut and straight shave.Try it out, believe me, you wont be disappointed at all. Thank you for the haircut and shave, it was a great experience.

2020-11-07I ALWAYS get my hair cut here.Ive been with about 4 different barbers here myself and each one did an exceptional job with such skill and precision.They all really know their stuff and are quite versatileI love their products. My wife wasnt a big fan of the stuff I used to buy from stores but she found this place through the grape vine and fell in love with the new scents from their products after just one use.I was so happy with their service I had my wedding groomsmen get their cuts here. My mom said we never looked better haha!Seriously, this I place rocks and their in-house beard products are top of the line.I hope this place is open forever so I can take my kids here one day.

2022-01-23This was my first experience at a barbershop instead of using great clips. I’ve never been very confident about my hair; but Drey was very patient with me and gave suggestions as to how I might style it. For the first time I feel confident having longer hair and a beard. The product they gave me for my beard, hair, and lips is made from sustainable ingredients (no palm oil!) and is made packaged with glass rather than single use plastics. I already booked an appointment for next month and can’t wait!

2017-05-02Really enjoy the atmosphere here. The people are friendly, the barbers are top-notch, and the pricing is reasonable. No wonder its always packed here. The advance appointments fill up extremely quickly, but they do have a barber available for same day appointments (they also fill up quickly).
