Barbershop Headshaves in Chicago ?
« on: August 29, 2011, 11:33:54 PM »
Im really wanting to have someone else shave my head with the full treatment. Anyone know of a barbershop or barbers in the Chicago area that do razor headshaves ?

I'm pleased to report that I've finally had a barber shop head shave that was as smooth as I can give to myself.  Saturday (December 24) I had an appointment at Roosters Men's Grooming Center in Schaumburg, Illinois.  Make yourself an appointment with Jason and he'll give you a proper headshave.  They do not use straight razors, they use the Gillette Fusion for the shave.

I was extremely happy with the experience and will be going back.  O0

That's very cool that you found Rooster's and could pass it on to another "Windy City Bald Guy"...looks like a good shop. Can I get there and have a shave during a 3 hour layover at ORD?

It's certainly possible.  Roosters is about 10-12 miles from O'Hare with easy access to I-90.

PM me for particulars if you need any info.

It's a lot of fun for a country boy to layover at ORD. The people are very nice, there's always sports on TV and ya gotta love the pretzels with mustard. I've always wanted to slip over the Art Museum during a layover...I'll sure keep this in mind. Thanx, Red.

I'm afraid that Jason would only shave you from the neck up, but I'm conveniently located nearby and don't have the same professional constraints as Roosters!  :o
