Appreciated that the owner, Mike/Noah, explained the different styles of fades (low -1 finger distance from your earline, low-medium - 2 fingers, high...). He coached me that the low medium would work best for me and my beard, starting from a zero guard.

I've had Bobby as my hair stylist for several years and am so happy he has been able to open a…read moresalon of his own with his business partner Patrick. Bobby does a fantastic job cutting my hair, something which may other stylist struggle with as I have straight, fine hair. Bobby is the only stylist who is consistently able to give me layers which build body throughout my hair and seamlessly blend in. Bobby washes my hair but then blow dries it and cuts it dry. This helps me see the exact length which is being taken off so there are no surprises at the end. I enjoy the appointments are fast and Bobby is easy to talk with. Plus sometimes Bobby brings his adorable dog Link to the salon! Aura is the perfect spot for anyone looking for an incredible haircut that doesn't cost an arm and leg for a haircut.

Drew is the seriously fan-freaking-gastric!…read more First off, he's efficient, which I love!!! He is super skilled and knows what he's doing, he is quick but thorough, and he leaves you looking and feeling fabulous. He also gives me pointers on how to style my new cut every time, which is so helpful! I also really love that he has his own private area so it's not a very loud or overwhelming environment, like many large salons can be. He was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so grateful! Also, it's to make appointments online and pricing feels very fair for what you get, too. Drew has changed my hair sooo much for the better - and I completely trust him! I highly recommend booking an appointment with him if you're seeking a new stylist.

I also like that this location is usually not too bad of a wait, and you get serviced fast. It would be a 5 star if not for the corporate rate, a men's haircut could be cheaper - but this fact has nothing to do with the service and stylists!

I noticed the issue while the stylist was cutting his hair and specifically asked him to correct it, but somehow it was still left noticeably uneven when we left. It's incredibly frustrating to pay for a haircut and then have to go somewhere else to have it fixed. A basic, even haircut should not be this difficult to accomplish. If you're looking for a place that actually pays attention to detail and takes pride in their work, I would look elsewhere. Save your money and avoid this place.

I was in the market for a new salon, one that specializes in curly hair. I chose penny lane after…read morelooking at multiple places. I tried calling them but ended up leaving a text message, which they answered promptly. I ended up booking online as a new client, which was awesome. They are in the heart of Logan square and get this...they have a parking lot in bank with TONS of free parking! It's super cute and full of natural light. I chose my stylist based on their profiles they have on their website. My stylist was Erin, who had only been working there since October. She used to own her own studio. She specializes in mullets, shags (aka wolf cuts, for the younger generation), and razor cuts (a difficult skill if you go to someone who doesn't know what they are doing). They have a chill annex space connected to their salon and that's where she was located. Erin is a rockstar, she even had a cut similar to what I wanted, even though our textures couldn't be more different. I was making a major change. My 2b curly hair was just really long, I hadn't had a professional haircut in over 1.5 years. I wanted bangs, dammit, face-framing layers and a shag cut over the rest. She was the absolute BEST! She made me so comfortable, letting me know her plan. Cut it dry (I went in with it on down, styled like usual on day 2 after washing), wash it, style it, cutting as she went to make sure it was perfect. She walked me through every step. When she was making a big cut, she made sure I knew do I wouldn't freak out when I saw it. Conversation flowed like water, and she's a consummate professional. She made me so comfortable and looked at the 900 pictures I brought in with examples (I even brought pics of what I didn't want). She only used shears and before she went it for bangs, she let me know where she'd make the cut. She praised the salon and her fellow stylists. She said if someone came in and wanted a style that she knew someone else could do better, she'd make a referral. Though she's confident that though everyone can do everything, everybody has a specialty. Her specialty is edgy and fresh. I liked she had so much experience with exactly what I wanted. The product line she uses is innersense organic and I liked their finishing gel, though using it is a bit of a learning curve. She gave me a few free samples of the shampoo and conditioner she used, and I purchased the gel. No leaving the salon with understyled or wet hair. No despairing, hoping I could fix it when I got home. No being unable to style it under my own routine. She listened and gave me a rad new hairstyle that I've gotten multiple compliments on. It's a throwback for sure but I love it. I have to get used to bangs: getting them during the summer may not been my best idea. It's also not cheap, I paid $230, but I did budget for a brand new style. They do bang trims for super cheap, though. Overall, I think it was worth every penny, lol penny lane for the win.
