Welcome

The Belmont Barbershop has only been around since 2005, but we think the quality and atmosphere of our shop is just as timeless as the craft itself.  Barbering is not as popular as it used to be.  A lot of men have moved on to salons for their grooming needs.  The schools that teach barbering have become quite rare.  We only opened this shop because we needed a place to work.  In turn, we found that a lot of guys are frustrated with their salon haircuts and are often times uncomfortable with the idea of even going to a salon.  It’s kind of strange to say, but we are somewhat of a specialty shop because we only cater to men.  We specialize in cutting men’s hair and shaving their faces.  You won’t get a bunch of mediocre pampering services that a lot of salons use to lure their customers.  Instead you will get high quality service delivered by licensed barbers.

My name is Josh Cooley. I am the owner. Billy Stump and I opened the shop back in 2005. We have come a long way. We sat around a lot when we first opened, but one by one the shop grew. We grew mostly by word of mouth. Our customers discovered the simple beauty of a regular barbershop. We have grown to a 5  man operation.  We used to only accept appointments, but we recently developed part of our shop for just walk-ins.  You can schedule an appointment with Josh, Billy, Drew or Jesse.  If appointments are not your style, you can come in and sit with Travis.  I can honestly say that a customer can sit in any of our chairs and receive an exceptionally high quality haircut.   Our barber education separates us from most of the other options that men have in Chicago.

The Belmont Barbershop is located in Chicago’s Roscoe Village neighborhood on Belmont just East of Western Avenue. You may call for an appointment or walk-in (see hours below).  Parking is available on the street and is usually easy to find. Sorry, but we do not accept credit cards.
