Alla has been cutting my hair for 9 years now (except 2020, of course) and she has always done an amazing job. Everyone at this salon is friendly and it is clean & well-kept. Based on my experience, I would encourage whoever is reading this to go ahead and book an appointment. A decade of looking sharp will pass in the blink of an eye.

Chan at Archive Salon cut my hair for 3+ years. I travelled down to the loop from Skokie and it was more than worth the drive! Chan does a fantastic job and is an even better person. See Chan for all your haircut needs!

Absolutely phenomenal service! I was visiting from out of town for a graduation and really wanted to get my hair cut while I was in Chicago. I had long hair—down to my mid-back—and was ready for a big change.
I initially went to another salon but was met with an odd energy that didn’t leave me feeling confident about moving forward with them.
Then I walked into this salon and immediately felt welcomed. The owner greeted me warmly—even while finishing up with another client—and took a moment to chat with me and collaborate on my vision. I needed to have my extensions removed and wanted to cut about 8 or 9 inches off.
