Welcome to Gentlemen’s Choice Barbershop –

A Kankakee Staple Since 1967

Located at 455 E River St, Gentlemen’s Choice Barbershop has proudly served the Kankakee community since 1967. Built and established as a barbershop, it has remained a neighborhood cornerstone for decades—a trusted space where generations have come for quality grooming and a true sense of connection.

Now under veteran ownership since 2014, the shop continues its legacy with fresh energy and a commitment to excellence. We honor the traditions of the past while bringing a modern touch to everything we do, led by a team of highly skilled barbers dedicated to top-tier service in a professional, welcoming environment.

From classic cuts and clean fades to detailed beard work, we offer a full range of grooming services—all at competitive prices. Our mission is simple: make every client look sharp and feel their best.

We provide convenient appointment scheduling, and walk-ins are welcome when available. With our central location and deep community roots, it’s easy to see why Gentlemen’s Choice remains Kankakee’s go-to barbershop.

Come experience the tradition, the talent, and the care of a veteran-owned shop that’s been trusted for over 50 years—and see how we’re still raising the bar every day.
