ROSIE is fantastic! She gets it right ALL the time! Color, highlights, creative color....she does it all and is very creative! This is not your normal traditional salon. It is retro creative cool atmosphere, colorful and fun! Go! You will not be disappointed! Highly recommend. I've been going here for several years and always leave LOVING MY HAIR WHICH IS LONG, RED AND FABULOUS!

I got my hair cut by Kelly while visiting Chicago back in like... 2012 (she was at another salon back then). She did such an incredible job that I wrote a yelp review and said "if I ever move to Chicago, Kelly is my go to girl!". Fast forward 6 years and I was living in Chicago, found my old yelp review, and booked a cut with Kelly asap. She did such a great job with cutting my hair, and I'm a freak who needs it done a super specific way. She also took my dark brown hair to bright neon orange--something I had been wanting to do for awhile but was afraid to ruin my hair. Needless to say, my hair was not ruined. She was able to lift it super light while maintaining the integrity of my hair, and it looked exactly the way I pictured it in my head. Not only is she a wizard with hair cuts, bleaching, and fantasy colors, but she's an incredible person. She's great at feeling where you're at in terms of chattiness, and never forces conversation if you're in a quiet mood, but is down to chit chat when you are. Look no further for a bomb a** haircut/color with a kind, hilarious, and genuine person. For the space: everyone at TS is also super cool, you can tell they genuinely enjoy where they work, and being around one another. The space is fun and eclectic, the prices are reasonable for the caliber of service that you're getting.

After having a bad experience in October 2021 when I first moved to Chicago at a JCPenney salon I knew I needed to pick somewhere that had hairstylists that were motivated to make their clients look better and not worse. I'm glad I picked Twisted Scissors. I had to wait a month to make it in to their weekend books but I'm glad I waited. I usually get my hair trimmed and re-dyed a dark red color. I had a stylist that did my hair for 10+ years back in Seattle where I'm from, and in October when I moved here and had the JCP stylist destroy the cut and color it was traumatizing. Mallory was my hair stylist at Twisted Scissors and she did a fantastic job. She listened to what had happened at the JCP salon, and asked if I had pictures of how my hairstylist in Seattle used to do my hair. She was careful with trimming my bangs (which I really appreciate because if you mess up the bangs it can make or break a haircut). The color is almost exact to how my stylist did it in Seattle. It is a little darker but that's ok because that means it will take longer to fade. The salon itself sort of reminds me of a tattoo parlor to a degree which is fun. They have interesting art around the salon and different types of displays/set ups that accentuate the vibe of the salon. Everyone was polite and friendly and enjoying themselves. I'm definitely going to come back in 6 weeks and get my hair done again by Mallory. I'm so glad I will have a new regular stylist in Chicago that I can trust.
