Leland's Barbershop - Champaign, Illinois

Comfortable seating in the waiting area. We had an appointment and I think they are recommended. I'm not sure they take walk-ins. I had a lot of hair cut off going from long hair to a shorter style. I basically just said make it look good and I have had lots of compliments on the new style so I think it worked. No complaints. Staff was friendly and personable. I'll probably be back.

The one star is for the welcoming nature, service and ambience of this place. I wish I could give more stars but when it came down to haircut they killed my hair. I asked for a fade hairstyle and showed them 2 pictures and what they did was completely opposite. They trimmed my hair to an extent where fade can not even be visible/implemented. And post that my head looked like an egg and I looked like a punk. No margin was kept and the extent of trim was a lot. The biggest disadvantage is they turn the chair opposite to the mirror so you can’t see your hairstyle until it’s done. I literally thought for a $30 cost it would be good but didn’t reach my expectations.

This place got everything right. It's a mixture of classy and cool inside. Old and new barber shop feel mixed together. The decor, space, music, furniture and lighting is so pleasant and fun to be in. Illini themed, obviously. They have plenty of seating on two extended long elegant couch-like benches that have outlet and USB ports for customers to use. They have an easy online appointment system (be careful not to book at the wrong location bc there is one in Mahomet and Champaign). The staff is so friendly, they take their time and perfect their cuts ✂️. Their conversation makes the customers feel welcome. For some reason when I made an appointment by phone I was booked at the wrong location but one barber was so friendly and said to come back in 20 minutes to squeeze in my son. He listened to our requests carefully and showed pics to my son to make sure he got what he wanted. Prices are reasonable but not the lowest in the area. So glad a good business like this is around here!

I have been a loyal customer since Zach opened. He and the rest of the crew, have always taken care of my 'DO. I have to say, they have squeezed me in, in emergencies, if at all possible. But, I have been in the chair and heard them do the same for anyone that calls in, so it isn't because I'm special. It is because they're good people.. Great place to sit, watch some ESPN and shoot the sh!t, while getting faded in. Never know where the conversation will go. Great joint. I highly recommend.

I love everything about this barber shop!

The price is honestly about what you'd pay at Sport Clips or a place like that but with significantly better service and skill! I can't believe I hadn't been going to a barber before.

They are busy and you definitely need to schedule ahead of time!

In town for a basketball championship, was able to get into Leland’s and they did an awesome job with my cut! I can be specific about my hair but the staff was able to work with me and I left with exactly what I wanted!

I was exactly 5 min late (not throuhh my own fault the bus was delayed) and I was refused my appointment because their schedule is too busy to take back to back appointments that they cannot afford a 5 min buffer. First off poor management, second thats an extremely dumb thing to say. Will be making sure less and less people from campus visit lelands

Leland’s was great! Staff was friendly and welcoming! The shop itself was so clean and well maintained. My husbands hair turned out great! 10/10 recommend!
