About Us

More Than a Chair
and a Mirror

Empire Cutz Barbershop sits on South Ashland Avenue because that's where Chicago needs us — a place where precision meets personality. We're not here to rush you through a 10-minute cut and send you on your way.

We take the time to understand what you want, recommend what actually works for your hair type and lifestyle, and deliver a result that makes you feel confident walking out the door. Whether it's a clean fade for the weekend or a sharp corporate cut for Monday morning, we've got you covered.
