About Betty's & Nick's
On Montrose Avenue in Chicago, Betty's & Nick's operates as a walk-in barber shop with no appointments needed. Multiple numbered stations keep the shop moving, with customers assigned to a specific barber for their visit. Fades are cut with a razor as part of the service, alongside standard haircuts and beard trims. Payment is cash only, so customers should plan ahead for that before sitting down. The shop opens daily, giving regulars a consistent option throughout the week. Parking on the surrounding streets can be tight, so those driving in should allow extra time to find a spot before heading inside.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the low-priced haircut, with several calling the pricing fair and affordable even after increases over the years, and one a longtime customer since childhood. Close behind, diners of the chair single out barbers who deliver perfect lines and fresh fades, and one reviewer says a barber remembers a preferred cut after several visits. Others mention friendly, welcoming staff, multiple stations and very little waiting, plus a haircut and beard trim. The complaints carry real weight, though. One reviewer says a requested mid-fade taper came out as a 1 guard shave on the sides and back with barely a low fade, and another says a razor was used on a fade they never asked for, leaving a cut with no rhyme or reason. One reviewer says a bleach blonde touch-up turned splotchy after the first wash and was still charged with no fix offered. Another describes the woman at the counter as rude. A few note that the advertised cheap cut can cost more once extras are requested, and that parking can be a challenge.

“One of the best hair salons in the area! The staff is very friendly, professional, and welcoming. They offer excellent service at very reasonable prices. I recently got a haircut and beard trim for just $10, and the quality exceeded my expectations. Another great thing is the minimal waiting time. They have multiple stations available, so I only had to wait about a minute before being served. The entire experience was smooth and efficient. The only minor downside is that parking can be a bit challenging at times. Other than that, I highly recommend giving this place a try! 👍”

“Such a great place to get a haircut! Prices have increased a bit over the past few years, but it’s still very affordable compared to many other barbershops. I highly recommend Sada. She takes the time to listen carefully to exactly what you want and pays attention to the details. After several visits, she now remembers my preferred haircut, so I don’t have to explain it every time. Consistently great service!”
