About

Van Buren Gentlemen's Salon, founded in Chicago's financial district (The Loop), provides a luxury salon experience targeted at men. We combine traditional barbershop services — haircuts, head shaves, straight-razor shaves, shoeshines — with contemporary salon services like gray coverage and neck trims. Guests receive complimentary cold beverages, including beer and bourbon, during their service. We offer single appointments as well as monthly memberships for repeat clients.

The salon distinguishes between barbers (who perform straight-razor and head shaves) and stylists (who perform gray coverage). Either can cut hair.
