About Magnificent

The shop works with children, including toddlers and special-needs kids, alongside its regular clientele.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers repeatedly single out the barber's patience with children, especially those with special needs or on the spectrum, describing him taking time to talk kids through the cut so they sit still and calm. Parents recount bringing toddlers as young as two and describe fast, efficient, professional cuts that turned into repeat visits for multiple siblings. Close behind is the family-oriented atmosphere: several note the shop avoids the "inappropriate conversations" they associate with other barbershops, making it comfortable for single mothers bringing young sons. Reviewers also mention the music, r&b, jazz, and soul, plus a clean, "old school" setup with fair, reasonable prices. Walk-ins are noted as accepted alongside scheduled visits. One reviewer describes an emergency haircut handled on short notice that exceeded expectations, and several describe the shop as a "barbershop home," returning across years rather than trying other options nearby.

    “One of the most professional if not the most professional barbershop that I have ever been to. Jamie Jones aka ‘Big J’ is a fair and understanding barber. Prices are reasonable and shop is very family friendly. It is a very safe environment for all. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of a barbershop home.”

    “Today me and my nephew (7) patroned this barbershop and J cut his hair. J was the most pleasant and patient barber we've visited so far. My nephew is on the spectrum and I love how J talked and ensured him he would be okay. J explained the …”

    “1 of the best barber's I have gone to since moving to Illinois. They take walk-ins. I take my son here also. It's a good old school barbershop”

    “Moved here 4 years ago and Jamie has been my only barber. Why go to the rest when you get a cut from the best. He’s professional with communication/scheduling. Has a clean shop and always playing good music, r&b jazz soul etc. prices are fair and most importantly does a great job. My hair doesn’t grow back like it used to and he keeps me looking as good I can w/out going all the way bald lol. Lots of other barbers in the area but he’s a 40-year pro, go with Big J.”

    “Great service! initially and I brought in my younger son he’s two years old to get a haircut. It was great, he was fast efficient professional and this by far has been the best haircut my two-year-old has had. So naturally I’ve brought in my other two boys to get their haircut and literally the same great experience! It was great conversations, great music, very professional and friendly, he worked well with kids definitely will be coming back! The haircuts were awesome!”
