After a really poor quality haircut at my previous salon, I needed to find a new salon and stylist…read morewhile my hair grew out. I stumbled upon Reflektion on Yelp and decided to give it a try, as it was remotely close to home, easily accessible via transit options, and had a lot of good shops I like close by! Booking at the salon as a first time client was super easy. I filled out a form and was contact via text. The scheduling staff was very helpful. Since then, I've booked appointments at the front desk when I'm in the salon on my way out -- also seamless! The salon itself is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. All of the products they use smell great and are good for you. The bathroom is especially cute, as pictured in the photos I have quickly snapped after a my last two cuts. I got matched with Reyna who is a gem. She really takes the time to listen to what I want out of my hair cuts and maintenance in between. Reyna is so fun to talk to and I have greatly appreciated her recommendations (K18, in particular) to help improve my hair health. She was not pushy at all when it came to purchasing the product at the salon, which I also appreciated! My hair has been exactly what I wanted each time I've gotten it cut. I look forward to coming in every few months & will continue to see Reyna, although I'm sure the other stylists are just as talented and kind!

She was great, very easy to talk to and explained the products and processes as she went through them. I just needed a simple trim and Rinia gave me exactly what I wanted/needed. The price was very good for all that was included. Immediately when I walked in they asked if I wanted any water or hot tea. Then, I sat down and we discussed what I wanted and she gave her input as well. Then she gave a very relaxing massage with some of the Aveda essential oils. She cut then washed my hair. At the end she styled my hair with a blow-out all for $40. I will definitely be returning!

I wouldn't have trusted anyone else but her. Not only does she walk you step-by-step through the process of what she's doing, but she always gives you insightful suggestions to keep your hair looking it's best. I've recommend a few people already and will continue to do because she's that great. In addition, Dahlia is always accommodating and tries to work with busy schedule which is highly appreciated. When she switched locations despite the new address being on the appointment confirmation, she went out of her way to send me a text and make sure I had the correct location and even gave me directions to free parking. Aside from her professionalism, she's incredibly sweet and her fun personality is a plus. I always enjoy my sessions with her and I look forward to continue being her customer.

I initially went here because (surprise) I'm blonde. Getting a colorist that excels at the right…read moreblonde can be tricky and I drove by this salon about 7 years ago and thought this might be the place to get it right. I prefer a buttery ash and that can be tough line to walk in the world of blonde. Fortunately I've never left displeased with a cut, color or blow out. I need a refresh on my roots about every 4-6 weeks and when you go that often you have to be careful your blonde hair doesn't start doing strange things, and stays healthy. SalonBlonde has the best colorists I've used in Chicago and I've been coloring my hair for a looooong time. I've seen almost everyone at the salon for something or if my regular stylist isn't available and I need to get in pronto and I'm always happy. Ashley is my go-to gal for my color (and cuts) because she gets the exact shade I am looking for right, and adds the right highlights and toner to get it perfect. I would follow her anywhere she worked because she is that good. I've had great colorists but I've never had anyone do such as exact perfect job with my skin tone. She is a hair color genius. She doesn't just excel at women but also works on men and her cuts and shaping are incredible. I had seen a middle aged fellow come in to her station while I was sitting with color foils in my hair. He came in with a basic business man's boring helmet hairstyle. He had a great thick head of hair peppered with gray and looked around 50 plus-ish. I overheard him complain that his haircut looked pretty boring and they seemed to know each other (not sure on that). I was in the sink getting rinsed when he walked by with his new hair cut on the way to leave and I couldn't believe the difference in how he looked. Ashley had given him the most amazing haircut that took 15 years off the man's overall look and energy. It was a bad-ass haircut on a man in a suit that looked like he runs a bank and I was pretty impressed. I was in awe that not only was he hip enough to embrace a young fresh look, but that she had the kohones to give him the cut. The cut walked the line between being a man who clearly has a conservative job on some level (who wears a suit these days?) and still being something closer to what a 21/30 year old might sport on his head, without looking ridiculous. She is a natural born talent. The salon upgraded their interior design in 2018 and it was definitely due and reflects the quality of the staff more than it did in 2018. Lets face it, we all need a little refresher now and then and businesses are certainly do different. It is very clean and contemporary with bold wall paper and bass and lots of white with some grays. It was a huge improvement. I would still go to the salon if they hadn't reworked the interior because it is hard to find colorists that do this wonderful of a job, but now I feel more at home and enjoy the aroma of a more interesting design than before. All the staff are very welcoming and I'm always amazed how people remember my name if they only worked on my hair once or twice. Parking is super easy on North Avenue and I always find metered parking pretty readily. I've recommended this salon to everyone I know who needs a great colorist, not just my blonde friends. And they have suggested SalonBlonde to others (men and women) as well so I know they are pretty pleased with the salon for their cuts, color and blow outs.

I showed her a picture of what I wanted and said that I was thinking I would need a double process instead of highlights that she started to put on me in order to be able to obtain the color from the picture (I was willing to pay no problem), but Kelsie said we can get it either way... clearly not.. The 2 colors are not even close in shade and I feel ripped off after paying $200. Oh and let me add, she made me blow dry my own hair because another client showed up - ridiculous.
