Joe's Barber Shop - Best in Town‎ - kremark15‎ - Oct 6, 2007

When I moved to Crystal Lake I was concerned that I would not be able to find a barber that was equal to the one I left in my home town. I was more concerned about finding someone that could cut my hair properly than I was about finding a Doctor or a Dentist. I tried several other shops before I found Joe's and was not happy with the results. When I walked into Joe's for the first time I was greeted with a big smile and a friendly hello from Jack, the owner. (He bought the place from Joe.) The shop was bright and clean and very nostalgic. All the barbers were dressed in crisp black slacks and black t-shirts and there was a constant, good natured banter going on between the barbers and the customers. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I recieved a hair cut equal in quality to my home town barber's and I breathed a sigh of relief. I had found what I had been seeking. On subsequent visits I was attended to by many of the barbers in the shop and in each case was extremely satisfied with the results. The entire team is highly skilled. I would encourage all who seek a quality hair cut in a friendly and inviting atmosphere to give Joe's Barber Shop a try BEFORE going any where else. Joe's is the best in town!   THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!...‎ - RUDYRUSSO‎ - Oct 10, 2008 GREAT HAIRCUTS. STRAIGHT RAZOR NECK SHAVES. SHOULDER AND NECK MASSAGE. MOSTLY WOMEN BARBERS. LAURA IS A CLIPPER GODDESS. NEVER A BAD HAIRCUT. GREAT ATMOSPHERE. ...‎      From Crystal Lake to Milwaukee and Back‎ - Stephen‎ - Nov 11, 2007 When we first moved to Crystal Lake we discovered Joe's was especially great for my busy schedule. All I had to do was walk in and wait a few short minutes for a barber to call my name. Now the greatest part of Joe's is that each barber will remember you, and will give you a great haircut along with a great conversation. I can always guarantee that I can leave Joe's in a better mood then when I came in. Now in college in Milwaukee my first stop after a semester or a quick break I always stop at Joe's. I've been going to Joe's for almost a decade, and I'd sure like another.  More than just a great haircut by budcl May 30, 2007 Lots of places will give you a good haircut. The difference between good and GREAT is the level of service you receive and the attitude of those providing the service. At Joe's Barber Shop in Crystal Lake, you'll get the best of both - a great haircut and the friendliest folks you've ever met. Joe's is a n authentic shop with a small-town feel that will remind you of when going to the barber shop was a social event. When you walk through the door you're greeted with a smile, and after a couple of visits, they'll know your name as well! They have 7 chairs so you don't need an appointment and you never have to wait long. It's the way going to the barber shop used to be. You won't be disappointed. Joe's Barber Shop is simply excellent.‎  By Chris - Sep 23, 2009‎ Joe's is simply a great establishment. The owner Jack, takes great pride in greeting his patrons, his staff of familiar barbers do an excellent job, plus you can get a warm, clean shave on the neck and a short "rubdown" after your haircut. What more do you need for a haircut? The cut takes the stress of the day away in minutes. They are conveniently located in downtown Crystal Lake and have reasonable hours. Nothing but high marks for Joe's.‎ By Dar   Mar 8, 2010  I travel some distance to get my hair cut at Joe's barber shop. It's not just the hair cut, it's being around good people, who make you feel good. As long as I can drive I'll continue to make the trip. These are more than barbers, they are friends. Thanks to some great people
