GREAT PLACE The barber shop and the barbers are excellent. The shooting range is top notch and managed well. They are in the process of adding on to the barber shop and you will certainly be satisfied when you leave.

Extreme Exigency's concealed carry course met more than its expectations! Everyone couldn't have been friendlier, more informative, or more welcoming, making it an instructional, relaxing time alongside everyone in attendance!

10 out of 10 highly recommended them, I donΓÇÖt think you could find a better group of people in the southern Illinois area to teach this class! Everyone is informative, friendly, and keep your attention the whole time.

Excellent customer service, and atmosphere. Great product line tailored towards men's beard and hair care, even a few tattoo care products, highly skilled barbers, family friendly atmosphere. Old school barber shop without the crazy salon prices.

I attended their Concealed Carry course to renew my license and was highly impressed with their kind and knowledgeable instructors and employees. I received much more useful, practical information than what was offered at my initial CCW course at a separate establishment several years ago.

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff! Great place to take or renew your Conceal Carry License. Classes are taught in a relaxed but factual manner with real life stories to reinforce the points being made. Partially indoor range to shoot from.

The very highest quality experience!! Made a 3 hour class into an exciting and educational evening. I have over 30 years of firearm and security experience, and I came away with much more than I thought that I could learn! Thanks Ray and Stacy.😎

Just completed a course with Ray himself and all I can say is that it was an amazing experience packed full of information relevant to the course but real life scenarios as well. It was outstanding to say the least and his office manager Stacy was on top of it as well with her skills of paperwork and other various items needed to complete the entire process. I will for sure be utilizing their services in the future for all my needs and wants and I strongly encourage you all to do the same plus you can also go and get a haircut, shave, and a great cup of coffee while youΓÇÖre out at their facilities as well. Have a Blessed Day All and check them out.

Attended the concealed carry renewal three hour class today. I absolutely love this place. Started out just by getting a haircut one year, and have not went to another barber since. In fact, that is the only place I take my boys. Just this year I started with a range membership and fell in love even more. Then when it came time to renew my CCL I figured I would give them a shot. BEST decision I could have made! Ray and Stacy know their stuff. The atmosphere just makes you feel like your home with family. I would recommend Extreme Exigency to anyone. They will have my business until the end! Top notch training, fantastic range, AMAZING people, and great haircuts! What more could anyone ask for?

I absolutely loved this CC class. Ray was awesome, extremely knowledgeable, and entertaining! I thought I would get bored because the class is 16 hours long, but he made the time fly by! The other instructors were very good and very knowledgeable as well. I learned so much. I'm so glad I took it. I highly, highly recommend anyone considering to take the CC course to do it at Extreme Exigency.

EXCELLENT class and training! Ray and Stacy are a couple of the nicest, educated and informational people ever. As were the other two great instructors Rick and Chris. We laughed and we learned, what more could you ask for? If you don't get tickled at Ray's laugh when he cracks himself up, you must be dead.

Attended a CCW class for veterans here. Ray and Stacy put on an excellent class. Ray was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He made the material easy to understand, and answered all of our questions. He also provided several examples from his decades of experience to go along with the material. Stacy helped get our applications processed and also answered questions. Both of them were professional and you could tell they cared about the course and people there. Can't recommend this place enough. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS CLASS. I KNEW AS SOON AS I GOT THERE THAT I WAS DEALING WITH GOOD PEOPLE. THEY MADE ME FEEL WELCOME & COMFORTABLE. I'M GLAD IT WAS MY REFRESHER COURSE BECAUSE, IT WAS 100 MILES FOR ME. I MAY NOT HAVE MADE IT FOR A TWO NIGHT STAY. HOWEVER; NOW KNOWING WHAT THIS PLACE IS LIKE, I WOULD CERTAINLY TRY TO FIND A WAY. GR8 COURSE & GR8 PEOPLE ! ! IF YOU NEED TRAINING, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "EXTREME EXIGENCIES". THEY REALLY DID MAKE THE WHOLE PROCESS EASIER & THE FEES WERE REASONABLE. IT'S BEEN FIVE MONTHS & I'M STILL TELLING ANYONE WHO'LL LISTEN.

Extreme Exigency is the place to be if you like to be taught from people who know what theyΓÇÖre talking about regarding laws, safety, and care for weapons. They are not only knowledgeable, theyΓÇÖre super friendly and helpful as well. Their prices are very reasonable. I canΓÇÖt recommend them highly enough. Ray and Stacy are amazing!
