Faded Novelty Barber Dept was born from a simple idea: bring back the art of traditional barbering while embracing contemporary style.
Founded in 2025, we set out to create more than just another barbershop. We wanted to build a space where craftsmanship meets community—a place where every client walks in as a guest and leaves as a friend.
Our name, “Faded Novelty,” reflects our philosophy: honoring time-tested techniques that never go out of style while staying fresh with modern trends. It’s about respecting the past while looking sharp in the present.
Located in North Riverside, IL, our shop has become a local gathering spot where neighbors catch up, stories are shared, and everyone—from young professionals to seasoned gentlemen—can get a quality cut in a welcoming atmosphere.
“We don’t just cut hair. We craft confidence, one client at a time.”
Whether you’re here for a precision fade, a traditional hot-towel shave, or a full grooming experience, our team brings passion, skill, and attention to every service. Step into our chair, and experience the FNBD difference.
