URBANE BLADES, ESTABLISHED 2011
Where Craftsmanship Meets Modern Style.
Urbane Blades is a modern luxury barbershop built on precision, discipline,
and culture. Founded by Navy veteran and entrepreneur Darren R., the brand began
with a single chair aboard an aircraft carrier and has evolved into one of Chicago’s
leading destinations for premium grooming.
From our flagship Chicago location to our Naperville satellite, we proudly serve a diverse
clientele—welcoming all hair textures, styles, and grooming needs. Our team blends
timeless barbering with contemporary design to deliver personalized services rooted in
confidence, craftsmanship, and culture.
At Urbane Blades, every cut, shave, and grooming experience is intentional. We’re
committed to elevating the standard of modern barbering through exceptional skill,
professional service, and an atmosphere that feels both refined and inclusive.
This is more than a barbershop.
This is Urbane Blades.

Chicago
In the Heart of Downtown Chicago’s North Side
Experience the core of Urbane Blades at our Chicago flagship—a true,
elevated barbershop environment where multiple skilled barbers bring precision, style,
and culture to every service. Designed for the modern man, this location offers a classic
barbershop energy with a contemporary edge.
While appointments are preferred for the best experience, walk-ins are always
welcome, making it easy to stop in, get sharp, and keep moving. Bold, sharp, and
unforgettable—this is the heartbeat of Urbane Blades.
Naperville
A Modern, Boutique Grooming Experience in the Western Suburbs
Discover a more intimate side of Urbane Blades at our Naperville
satellite—a refined, boutique-style studio designed for clients who want a personalized,
one-on-one grooming experience. Here, the focus is on precision, comfort, and
exclusivity, with each appointment tailored to your unique style and preferences.
Unlike our traditional Chicago barbershop atmosphere with multiple barbers, Naperville
offers a quieter, private setting ideal for clients who prefer a more individualized
experience. This location operates primarily by appointment, ensuring dedicated time,
attention, and exceptional service with every visit.
Modern, elevated, and crafted around you—this is Urbane Blades in Naperville.

First time visitor, will definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and check him out. Got me together and had me looking professional for my meeting
First visit but definitely not the last! Darren understood my vision and executed perfectly. Very clean and comfortable environment with great customer service.
Just moved to the area and I already found a great barber. Darren gave me one of the best fades Iv had in a while. Great haircut and great service you can’t ask for more. If you’re looking for a new barber definitely check him out.
Great Experience for my son! Darren was Professional, Precise, and had Good Vibes!!
My son loved the haircut and said it was the best fade he's ever gotten! Darren made sure he was happy with the length and we will definitely be going back!
My brother is amazing! Professional and good person and amazing barber!
Hooked me up on a walk in. Great dude, and my cut was great. Walk into the building first door on the right. Check him out.
