Best Hair Salons In Chicago

“I can't say enough great things about the beauty team I had. Brenda did phenomenal on my makeup! I was happy crying all day and night and my makeup held up the entire time. She listened to what I wanted and made my face feel weightless even with a full face and foundation! Mercedes did wonders with my hair and the curls held all night even through jumping, crazy wind, and a handsy groom lol. She's the sweetest and so supportive of whatever I wanted. Eva did fantastic with all of the hair and makeup she did for my girls also! Huge thanks all around the such a fantastic team.“

“Maya was amazing! This was my first haircut in over two years and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Their hospitality, conversation, and care was so warm and inviting. I would recommend Maya to everyone visiting! They are such a bright light at this salon!“

“First of, it was my very first time here and the moment I entered the establishment, everyone made me feel welcomed! Robin was amazing and gentle with my facial (first time getting a facial) and explained everything that was happening, Zeena perfectly explained hair treatment options and look forward to working with her, and Kimberly was amazing, told her about a bad experience 2 years ago at a different salon and how nervous I was to go get a cut. Kimberly went above and beyond to make me comfortable, listened, and triple checked in with me before any additional cutting and I was very happy with my cut!“

“Jamie is absolutely the best. She is great at what she does. I had a wonderful experience here. My hair looks and feels great!“

“Chloe was excellent! She was consultative and offered advice on how to approach my first cut with her and how to style. Highly recommend!“

“Great salon, service, and haircut! After my long term stylist moved, I was in search for a new person to cut my hair. I did a search for a new stylist and came across Gino’s salon. What first caught my eye were the number of really good positive reviews, which I now can say were right on target and well deserved. I went to the website and found it to be well done, professional and informative. I called Gino’s cell and he called me right back and we made an appointment. I’m VERY happy with the result and in fact have been back a few times with another appointment scheduled for next month. I’m seriously happy with the results. Very well done. The salon is very well located off the Chicago El stop and also has easy street parking. The salon itself is spacious and quite nice. Gino is a very nice and funny person who’s been in business for quite some time. He seems to love what he does. Interestingly he also has his own line of product that he sells at the salon. If you’re looking for a new salon or even to try a new one, Gino DiFranco Salon would be a smart move. ??“

“I had the BEST time with Milena ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ She was so kind, she really listened to my vision, and she took such great care of my hair. My hair looks so good I can’t stop looking at it lol

I have super long thick wavy hair and she knew exactly what to do. She is so knowledgeable and I loved learning her tips and tricks. My hair honestly has never looked or felt better. I am super low maintenance with hair, I usually get it done once a year, but I will definitely be coming back and will send my mom here too ^_^“

“I was looking for a new stylist in West Loop and Laura did not disappoint. She was absolutely amazing!! She listened and delivered with exactly what I wanted for my balayage. The salon itself was super cute too!!“

“Tabloff has become one of Chicago's best salons for color, and its newest star is Elvis, a young professional who sees color with an artist's eye, keeps your hair radiant and healthy, and makes every visit feel as easy as a beachside cocktail with a good friend! I now travel 80 minutes to get my hair done because I love his work so much. Whether it's highlights, balayage, chocolate ribbons or specialty colors, Elvis has a magic touch, with a result you'll love and seamless grow-out. Your hair stays strong and shiny because he uses high-quality color (Goldwell). He is so good that he has trained other colorists, even though he’s still very young himself. Don't hesitate — this is your guy for the best color in the city.“

“I'm visiting from out of town but Tania and her team welcomed me like a regular. Excellent service from start to finish, and they take quality to heart. The environment is clean and classy just like its convenient location. I would come back to Chicago just to get my hair done at this salon.“

“This salon is amazing. They have a mini fridge with drinks and snacks and the stylists are incredible. I love Cam, she is a genius with color. Truly the best salon I’ve been at and the most pleasant experience all around.“

“I and my children have had such great experience getting our hair cut by CJ. He does such a great job. He is always friendly. And he always respects my kiddos preferences for their haircuts which has been a game changer for them. Previously I took them to stylists who cut their hair too short even though they and I had explained that we didn’t want that sort of style. CJ has put them at ease that their preferences and their vision of themselves matters. He does a fabulous job with my hair as well. Good see CJ! He is terrific.“

“Paige changed my life. I had never gotten a true curly cut and I explained the vibe/showed her a few reference photos. From there she worked her magic and I seriously got the best haircut I have EVER. I'm not even joking when I say my coworkers didn't recognize me, people were stopping me to ask me about my hair. Today I am walking a little taller and my curls are a whole lot bouncier thanks to Paige! My curls are so much more manageable and my hair has volume like never before. Paige is a wonderful stylist through and through, but especially if you have curly hair!!! I just went back for a bang trim and I can't wait for the next time I find myself in her chair! Thank you Paige!!!!!“

“I booked a massage with Ben and I couldn't be happier! Ben is attentive, we talked about any issues I had, which is a lot, and he responded to all my concerns. I'm also a bit uptight and can be a bit reactive to massages. but I felt com with Ben and "fought back" very little. I can't wait to book another sessio!“

“Gaby was fantastic! This was my first time here, recommended by a friend. Gaby did a fantastic job with my hair cut and style. She knew exactly what to do when I told her my expectations. She was so fun to talk to which is always a bonus! Gaby made me feel very comfortable and overall was a great experience. Will definitely come back.“

“Went in with an idea and crazy hair color style in mind. I left with exactly what I wanted :) which is uncommon for me at a salon. I will def be coming again.“

“I had a very great experience with my appointment. Liz is very friendly, informative, and professional. I felt at ease getting my haircut.“

“10/10 experience, I would highly recommend to anyone in search of a stylist! It's been over two weeks since my appointment and I am just as happy with my hair today as when I left the salon. She made sure to listen to my concerns and talk me through the process to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. I also love that she takes late appointments so I don't have to take any time off of work. I will definitely be returning in the future!“

“I ordered 22,24,26 inch bundles with a 5x5 closure I first want to start with the closure it was Flawless and so natural looking
The bundles was BEAUTIFUL AND THICK and very soft…communication with the seller was amazing as well very informed and customer service oriented WILL def buy again“

“Best kept secret for value for money in Chicago. Ambrosio is awesome. His prices are modest, so tip him well.“

“We recently had the pleasure of visiting FM Hair Studio with my daughter for her first appointment. From the moment we entered, we were greeted with a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Kiaralyn, the stylist we had booked with, was wonderful. After I showed her the desired hair color and explained the haircut my daughter wanted, she demonstrated a clear understanding of our requests. She ensured my daughter felt completely at ease throughout the process. The final result was truly amazing. We are certainly planning to return, and I will absolutely recommend this place.“

“I’ve had such an amazing experience at Chicago Extension Twins! Areta is incredibly talented, and her attention to detail is just wonderful. I always get compliments on my hair thanks to her! Plus, her prices are super competitive. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else for my hair!“

“This was my first time here. All the ladies were very nice. Loved Shay sorry if I spelled it wrong she did an amazing job on my braids. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Jackie is WONDERFUL! Since moving from California, it has been hard for me to find someone amazing with both color for blondes and cuts and I’m thrilled I found my way to Jackie. On top of that, she’s responsible, reliable, professional, and a joy to spend time with.“

“Slavisha is a blessing for anyone looking to get a great haircut. He is amazing, a kind and patient listener, experienced in his work and has great recommendations. I came in with not-so-great hair day that has been that way for some time and left with a great hair cut and style. Can't wait for my next haircut already! Thanks Slavisha and the great Ricci Halstead team for an awesome experience.“
