I recently moved to Edgewater; however, I cant find any other barbershops that specialize in afro-american hair.

I've googled and yelped but I've only found this one spot a little bit north of Thorndale on Broadway (I've had a really bad experience with them).
I'm sure that there are others that are not listed on the internet, correct???

The Hair Force
4415 N Sheridan Road
Chicago, IL 60640
Neighborhood: Uptown
(773) 271-7833

I used to go there and I got my haircut by Amelia.....she's the best. If she is still there, get her. Call first.

I've since started wearing my hair bald, so I cut it myself now.

Also, at the intersection of Thorndale and Broadway, across from the Dominick's, next to the "Patio Beef" food joint, there is a shop I got my haircut once or twice in. Decent cut. The guy that cut my hair had locks......I'm not sure if he still has them or if he's still there but I remember liking the way he cut my hair. But this might be the spot you had a bad experience with.



"Reflections" on the corner of Sheridan and Lawrence

There are a couple of places in northern Lake View. One is called "Terrell's", I believe, and it's just south of Irving Park Road on Broadway. Supposedly that place is part of the inspiration for the Barbershop series. There's another place down near Broadway and Grace.

There are a couple places in Uptown along Broadway that appear to be closed. Perhaps a consequence of gentrification?

Go to Rogers Park and Uptown.

And there is a place in Lake View I know of just south of Sheridan in the Hotel Chateau building.

That's the second place I was mentioning. And that Nappy Headz place is also very close to the two I pointed out. Apparently I live in a Mecca for black hair.
