What happens at check‑in
At check-in we begin with a short consultation about the child’s comfort level, preferred length and any style references. The Kids haircut is $25 and scheduled for 45 MINUTES, which gives barbers time to work patiently, allow short breaks and finish a tidy, fresh look children enjoy.
Our atmosphere and flexible service suit families: reviews note walk-ins and same-day availability, and parents report staff who take extra time with nervous or sensory-sensitive children. That patient approach reduces stress and encourages repeat visits from families across Cicero, Elmwood Park and nearby neighborhoods.
Patient appointment pacing
Barbers work at the child’s speed rather than rushing through a cut. Staff use simple explanations, visual cues and short pauses so a child stays comfortable; parents appreciate that barbers walk them through each step and keep young clients calm during the haircut.
The 45 MINUTES slot allows detailed finishing and, when requested, younger clients can have classic short cuts or simple fades. Reviews highlight careful attention to shape and clean edges, so parents can expect deliberate, focused work within the allotted time.
Location and booking tips
Epic Studio sits in Hermosa and serves Cicero, Elmwood Park, River Grove and nearby neighborhoods, convenient for families commuting on Cicero Avenue or the CTA Blue Line. Evening and weekend appointments are handy for parents stopping by after Humboldt Park activities or local shopping in Wicker Park and Avondale.
August, September and December are our busiest months because of back-to-school needs and holiday plans; book early if you need evening or weekend availability during those periods. Walk-ins are commonly accepted, but advance booking guarantees a $25 appointment reserved for 45 MINUTES.
