Modern haircuts, sharp fades, beard trims and shaves from barbers who know exactly what you want. A neighborhood shop with a real community feel, right on West Side Avenue.
What we do
Straightforward barbering, done right every time. Prices vary by service, so ask in the shop or call for a quote.
Modern cuts and clean fades, blended tight. Tell your barber the look and they'll get you right. Skin fades, tapers, low, mid or high: just say the word.
Patient, gentle barbers who keep nervous little ones calm. Parents say it in the reviews, and the shop is kid-friendly from the moment you walk in.
Shape, line and tidy your beard so it looks as sharp as the cut above it. Add it to any haircut, or come in just for the beard.
A clean shave to finish the look, done with care in a relaxed chair. Ask your barber about it when you book or walk in.
Crisp edges between cuts, so you stay fresh all week long. Quick, clean and perfect before a big day.
Bring the family. One customer and his son have sat in the same barber's chair for nearly twenty years. That's what loyalty looks like here.
Local shop, real community
Nu Flavor Kutz sits at 599 West Side Avenue, just north of where Communipaw Avenue meets West Side Avenue and a short walk from Lincoln Park. It's the kind of compact, straightforward shop where the clippers are always buzzing, the conversation is easy, and regulars come back again and again. We're an easy trip from McGinley Square, Journal Square, Greenville and Bergen-Lafayette, and close to plenty of the West Side's homes, schools and shops.
Read our reviews and the same words keep coming up: atmosphere, respect, community. Customers write about barbers who know exactly what they want, about kids who walk in nervous and walk out proud, and about loyalty that goes back years. One customer has been getting his hair cut, along with his son's, by the same barber for almost twenty years. Another reviewer wrote about the shop handing out food to customers on Thanksgiving. That's the flavor we're talking about.
It's also why we keep things simple. Walk-ins are accepted Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 7 PM, and appointments are recommended so you can skip the wait. You can pay by card or tap your phone, and the shop has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot. Whether you need a fresh fade before the weekend, a beard trim for a job interview, or your kid's first real haircut, call (201) 332-2024 and we'll get you in the chair.

Customers come back for years, and one for nearly twenty. Good cuts plus good people make a shop worth returning to, week after week.
