Hyde Park Hair Salon

Hyde Park Hair Salon, originally Joe’s Barbershop, was founded in 1927 by a young entrepreneur named Joe Taylor. The salon began as an entrance to the Hyde Park Theatre but was soon sectioned off and transformed into a unique neighborhood barbershop. Years later, Joe’s Barbershop was sold to a new owner and the name was changed to Hyde Park Hair Salon. The salon relocated to its current location on Blackstone Avenue in 2007.

Hyde Park Hair Salon’s friendly, quality service has contributed to the business’ longevity in the community. The overall atmosphere, combined with a trendy service menu, has maintained a loyal and successful clientele during the past 95+ years including celebrities Spike Lee, Phil Gates, Devon Hester, Bill Veeck, Suge Knight, Muhammad Ali, Harold Washington, and President Barack Obama – a patron of 20+ years.

President Barack Obama’s election caused a spike in the number of tourists visiting the barbershop. Hyde Park Hair Salon has now become an internationally recognized full-service men’s barbershop and was recently listed as a tourist hotspot with the Chicago Bureau of Tourism.

Open 9 am – 8 pm
