I have been using fade 48 for about a year now and they have been great and consistent since day 1. Being mixed I have unique hair that I have had messed up a time or two but inexperienced barbers but Ezel has never done me wrong. His fades are clean and his line ups are crisp. There's also something great about a…
I had a great experience. Will took excellent care of me. It was my first time and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Would trust these guys with my life. Best barbers in town. No questions asked.
My go to shop when I lived in the midwest! They all get down but I’d always get cut by Kareem, he always had me looking right!
Kay is a master of his craft. His talent and attention to detail are truly unmatched. After years of searching for the right barbershop, I won't go anywhere else. Highly recommend Kay Farah!
I'm a salon owner myself and I would highly recommend these guys. They were absolutely amazing and worked well with my son. We definitely will be back!
Highest skilled barbers around the area, have been going for 9+ years and always keep it professional.
Will always getting me right. I don’t normally like other people cutting my hair but he always proves me wrong. Plus the suckers at the end are lit
They get me right every time! Love this place!!
Bilal and his cutting crew are very friendly and inviting putting me at instant ease. The fact that all chairs were full also shows many others approve highly of the services. I have had the "Full Monty" treatment twice now and have left feeling very happy with both cuts. Hats off to Bilal for doing so much with so little, in my particular case.
Every barber is very accommodating, and welcoming either new or returning customer.
Bilal is great! He does great work. I always get the works package. I need to look professional for work. He always does it up right. 5-star service. 100% recommend.
Since 2015 BILAL has done an amazing job getting me too look my best for every occasion I have had, from weddings, promotions to date night. I’ve never NOT been satisfied with his services.
I highly recommend Fade 48, both of my boys (Ages 16 & 10) have been going to Bilal for almost a decade! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fade 48 is hands down the best barbershop around. My kids have been coming here, and every visit has been a great experience. The barbers are talented, take their time, and consistently deliver clean,…
Just moved back here from Miami, bilal gave me exactly what I wanted
Extremely professional and consistent barbershop! Definitely recommend Will Hamid! Super consistent and professional all the time and provides a comfortable experience. Asked for recommendations for a new hair style and he provided extensive feedback and recommendations.
Will does and has always done an amazing job. Very polite and professional. I recommend him to people all the time. Not one issue any time I’ve ever been. Shop is full of nice guys that are great at what they do!
This place is the real deal ….no other shop comes close …very professional and kind service …I can’t recommend them enough…Bilal is usually my stylist….the best hands down…..need a good cut?….book that appointment now
Nothing else needs to be said other then they are the best barber shop in Illinois period. Perfect fades & perfect lining. You want your hair done right then this is the place to go too.
Can’t recommend Bilal enough, I’ve been going to him for over a year and the cut is perfect every single time. He’s never let me down!
I had my first visit to Fade48 today and man I am hooked! Will was the absolute best. He listened to everything I asked for and had a lot of great suggestions for me as well. He was meticulous and you could just tell he takes his work very seriously. My haircut was crisp and clean! The environment was very…
Bilal was a privileged to have as my barber, he did a fantastic job! I’ve only gone 1 time but from that experience, I learned everyone at Fade 48 genuinely cared!
Moved to the area not too long ago and had the nervous task of finding a barber, I feel like I hit gold booking with Bilal at Fade48. I always leave the shop looking my best because of him, would definitely recommend.
The entire Faded48 crew has done nothing but exceed expectations! I’ve been getting cut by Bilal since 2019 and have never had a bad experience. Bilal takes the time to know his clients and his skills are evident! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a solid cut and experience.
I have been goin here since I was 10 years old, and I am now 21 years old. I can say one thing about Bilal and his work ethic and how he carries himself and his business, excellent. Seeing fade 48 grow from just bilal to what it is now is truly incredible. Will always be my go to for my haircuts and who I refer everyone too!
Great barber shop, booked an appointment with will. Great guy, takes his time. Definitely recommend
Best barber hands down
These guys are truly great at what they do! I’ve been going to Bilal for years and will continue to do so. The whole vibe at Fade48 is chill and you know you’ll leave with a fresh haircut. There’s a reason I make an appointment anytime I’m back in town.
The atmosphere was very professional and the quality of the service was too. Will, really knows how to get you right and I plan to comeback soon!
Will is hands down one of the best barbers I’ve been to. Every cut is clean, detailed, and exactly how I ask for it, no shortcuts, no inconsistencies. He takes his time to make sure everything is precise, from the fade to the lineup, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his work. The professionalism and…
If you’re looking for a barber who truly knows what he’s doing, I can’t recommend Will Hamid enough. Every time I sit in his chair, I leave feeling like the best version of myself. His attention to detail is unmatched—clean fades, sharp lines, and he really takes the time to understand exactly what you want. What…
Will is one of the most consistent and professional barbers I’ve been to. Every cut is clean, sharp, and exactly how I ask for it. He pays serious attention to detail and takes his time to make sure everything is perfect before you leave the chair. What really stands out is how precise and reliable he is, you know…
Bilal is the best barber around. I’ve been to barbers in the city and all around the metro east area and he’s got them beat. Top notch skill set. Efficient, professional and listens. Barber for life.
Hands down....the best haircut ive ever gotten. With any of them in the shop, you are getting what you pay for, and that is quality work. I have been seeing Bilal for a several years. With a couple year hiatus because I grew my hair into a mullet. I came back to Bilal to go back to a skin fade. NO ONE can touch…
First off this was my first visit here and it was absolutely amazing. I would recommend Bilal to my friends as he does an amazing job when it comes to cutting hair. He was extraordinarily thorough and did not rush through the cut. I look forward to returning back soon for a second visit!
After moving to the area and suffering from mediocre to downright horrible haircuts for the last 8 months, so elated to have finally found my new barber shop. Place is clean, and the barbers are legit artists with clippers.
Bilal does a fantastic job! Top tier fade, highly recommend.
The best around, always does a phenomenal job!
Her cuts always amazing. Also the eyebrow and haircut is always good despite me having ab eyebrow piercing.Have recommended several friends to him.
This was my 13-year-old son’s first experience at a barbershop. Will made him feel comfortable and gave him the best haircut he’s ever had. The attention to detail and precision is incredible.
