I love J. Avienda salon! The space is so lovely and inviting, the location is great (easy to find street parking on the same block as the salon), and every employee is skilled and kind. I always receive the warmest welcome and have such a great experience. Highly recommend!
Nicholas is amazing!! I was in for a blow out about a week ago and was lamenting about how flat my hair looks on a regular basis, and Nicholas suggested we do a hair cut to address some of my concerns, so I went back a week later and he killed it!!
I have super thin/not very much hair and he gave it so much body and volume with the cut. I attached a low res pic below but you can still see how stunning it turned out.
The price is also very very fair ($75 + tip) for a top tier salon and hair cut. I have definitely found my stylist in Chicago! Could not recommend more.
Highly recommend Nick! I don’t live in the state but whenever I’m in the city I make sure to book a blowout with Nick! I have curly hair so it’s hard to find someone who can do a proper blowout that will actually last. Nick is very thorough, detail oriented, kind and leaves my hair feeling great for days to follow! The space is gorgeous and I would feel confident and comfortable sending any friends or family to the salon.
