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!

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... read full review
