More Than a Cut — It’s About Confidence

My name’s Cristian Salazar, known to most as Cachetón — a nickname that stuck long before it became part of my brand. For me, barbering isn’t just about a clean fade or perfect blend — it’s about the confidence my clients walk out with.

Before stepping behind the chair, I spent years in the restaurant industry, managing high-volume kitchens and learning how to thrive under pressure while keeping standards high. That same work ethic and attention to detail followed me into barbering — where precision, timing, and connection mean everything.

Since 2018, I’ve been behind the chair full time, specializing in precision fades, shear work, and styles that bring out each client’s individuality. Working between Plainfield and Chicago, I’ve built a client base that values consistency, conversation, and craftsmanship.

“Cachetón” has come to represent the energy I bring to every cut — real, confident, and never diminished. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, you’ll always get a cut that matches how you feel at your best.
