When I first moved to Chicago, I asked people in my office where I should get my hair cut, and the overwhelming response was Broken Roller. Six years later, I can't imagine going anywhere else! Over the years I've had long, short, and everything-in-between hairstyles, and Summer handles them all with ease. She's a wizard with curly hair, combining expert skill and experience with a real attentiveness to what her clients want. Summer and Chris make the salon such a warm, welcoming place that every appointment feels like catching up with friends. I can't recommend Broken Roller enough!
Chris has cut my hair since the "before times" aka pre 2019 Long straight hair: He is EXCELLENT with long hair. It grows out beautifully. Even with my post covid "chop" he was conservative about how much he takes off because he knew I liked the length. I get compliments on my hair and have had other friends w long hair go to him. They get highlights/balayage and it's beautiful. I did have to blow dry and / or straighten it and then recently I wanted to see if I could get my natural waves/curls to do something that looked decent.... So... Wavy/curly layered hair: Wow - this was unexpected and it is a delight!!! I didn't know I could let my hair do what it wants and I love it. He cut some serious layers so the curls could do their thing, helped me with the right product and now I just air dry. Chris is great. He always tries to be conservative with the cuts, has been cautious when I ask for huge, abrupt changes (tells me to try a little and come back if I want more... ). He and Summer are friendly, have great taste in music, the shop is so cool. I want summer to be my interior decorator. Can't recommend enough.
I have been going to Broken Roller since 2018 and I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about it. Summer and Chris are both so kind and considerate, not to mention amazing at what they do (Summer does my highlights and Chris does my haircuts). They both always make sure that they have a very clear idea of what I want done, and their execution is always flawless. After having struggled to find a good, consistent salon, it was such a relief to finally find stylists who would never let me leave without feeling absolutely happy with the end result.
