Located in the heart of Normal, Illinois, Shorty's Barbershop stands out as more than just a place to get a haircut—it's a vibrant community hub where skill, personality, and genuine care come together. Nestled at 205 1/2 W North St, this barbershop has earned its reputation for delivering top-quality grooming services with an unmistakable personal touch.

What truly sets Shorty's apart is the unwavering dedication of its barbers to go above and beyond for their clients.

Despite numerous shops turning her down, Des from Shorty's not only agreed to help but delivered an amazing and compassionate experience. This kind of commitment speaks volumes about the professionalism and kindness woven into the fabric of Shorty's culture.

The talented team here excels in contemporary styles and precision cuts, specializing in fades that keep clients coming back. Jonathan Sandoval, who walked in on a busy Saturday, was impressed by the staff's kindness and their ability to fit him in for a flawless mid-fade with a trim on top. Meanwhile, Charlie Anderson, taking a bold step switching barbers after 20 years, found fading perfection with FadeMan AL—an experience that erased any apprehension of change.

Long-time patron Jake Fultz perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Shorty's Barbershop with his praise of the friendly atmosphere and exceptional value. The barbershop is not just a place for grooming; it’s a space for great conversations, genuine connection, and craftsmanship. For years, Shorty's has been a staple for quality cuts at a reasonable price, and its current roster of barbers has only elevated that standard.

First-time visitor Shiva Horiuchi echoes these sentiments, highlighting the friendly staff and excellent skin fade at an incredibly fair price. The approximately 30-minute service was efficient and satisfying, emphasizing Shorty’s dedication to both quality and customer convenience.
