Where is the Best Hair Salon in Chicago, Illinois?
What attentive and talented people they have there. It felt very exclusive tucked up above street level with stunning city views. I usually have my hair done in Manhatten and sort of poo pooed Chicago as the number three city. I was pleasantly suprised.Pros + great urban feel, exclusive feeling, great value
I gave this salon three chances to perfect a haircut for me. Good technical cuts, but not what I asked for.The head stylist bitched about the other stylists the whole time I was in the chair about how they did not listen to clients or respect them. Ironically He made me wait to get started about 5 minutes while he finished a text to his sister. He then proceeded to leave the chair 4 times and take phone calls. As a result, I got a haircut that was too short, too old and too hacked up to do anything with. When I sent an email explaining I was moving on, he didn’t even read what I was saying and responded I was hurt he did not take my call when I called back to discuss. What an EGOMANIAC. You are NOT that good, Pat.Pros + Colorist is TOP NOTCHCons – Stylists seem to think they are better than they are.
I have been going to Gro Salon for sometime now and can’t say enough about how awesome the salon is. Everyone I come into contact there from reception to shampoo is great. The attitude and decorum is rebellious and stylish. In contrast to usual punk rock condescension, the crew at Gro are way down to earth, approachable, and amicable. I am always greeted by name from the minute I walk in the door. Both my colorist (Judith) and stylist are amazing and are able to translate my inarticulate hair -speak into a style and shade that is exactly what I wanted, but couldn’t express. Judith pushes my limits to the perfect degree; I always leave feeling very comfortable with my hair and still very “me”, but with a slight edginess. She’s is super helpful with suggestions when I want a slight change & with talking me through each step of the cut and color. And as an added bonus, Judith is one of the sunniest and happiest people that I know. She’s always smiling, and laughing as she bus
