They're kind about fitting you in at the last minute, but leave you waiting hours- so be prepared to bring your work with you or some good reading because you will be there for a whole afternoon. They're good at trims and retouching your roots, but don't waste money paying for highlights because they don't know how to do them. read more

Ayham gave me a phenomenal haircut last week. It is a haircut that I've never received before, but it is exactly what I needed. Definitely recommend this place. Great vibes all around, Andy runs a great studio! read more

Ayham was great!! I randomly went to this salon and it ended up turning out great! He cut my hair and did some low lights for me. Highly recommend :) read more

My experience was so terrible I wish I could give this place zero stars. I received the worst haircut imaginable from a person who did not even take into consideration what i asked them for. I gave them exact measurements and reference with pictures and videos to cut and before they even started cutting I told them it was okay if it wasn't exactly as the reference but that i was more interested in the shape. But they didn't listen and they cut my hair even shorter than the reference and nothing like the style requested. And then proceeded to berate and insult me after i expressed my dissatisfaction with their services telling me that they do not "do videos" and that they cannot "measure hair" and cannot be expected to be perfect. The worst was that they said that my hair was already ruined before i came there which reeked of racism. STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

I called Andy on Saturday afternoon at around 2. He said he was closing up and I was about to hang up when he asked how far I was. I said 30 mins and unprompted, he offered to stay open for me. I rushed over and he was waiting for me. I got a shampoo and an excellent haircut (side-part) for $25 (although I tipped extra out of consideration for them staying open for me). His hands moved quickly and I could tell he's been doing this for years. At the end, my hair looked great without any product added. We had some light conversation. He wasn't overly talkative or pushy like some barbers. He's been working here since around 2003 he said, so he has almost 30 years of experience. I will definitely be coming back. Parking is metered street parking, but I found a spot easily within a half block. read more

After nearly 15 months I finally got my hair fixed by Andy....the salon has had some upgrades and renovations during the pandemic . Making a reservation is smooth they send you a reminder and easy checkin. I love the way my hair looks after color and cut . Higly recommend Andys Hair studio! read more

I trusted Andy to do the BIGGEST chop I've ever had in my life and I absolutely absolutely LOVED my experience and will definitely be coming back!!!! read more

Limited online presence but outstanding service. Best prices around for a men's haircut too.

My mother, sister and I have been going to Andy for more than 20 years. I have lived in Los Angeles, Indiana, Michigan and downstate Illinois, but Andy has been the only person that has ever done my hair justice. He is a professional and cares about his clients. Now that I am back in Chicago, and can't wait to go back to him. Where I used to have a relaxer in my hair, I now have an Afro. Thanks to the pandemic, I have not ventured out much, but can't wait to get to Andy's. He is a true professional who knows how to keep his customers happy. Those of you who have complained about the service, you need to let Andy know. He is undoubtably the best in the city. read more

Great hair studio in the heart of the city. I bring my mom here all the time and they always take good care of her. Andy does great work and he is a master of his craft. read more

Andy's Hair Studio - Entrance - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

They don't keep their appointments. They didn't have any stylist available despite having an appointment. I called for a haircut appointment and took the first slot they gave me. I even received a text message confirming the appointment. Turns out the stylist was the same person I talked to over the phone. I arrived a couple of mins early and after sitting in the waiting area for 10 mins, the stylist brought me back and sat me on one of the hair washing chairs while she continued with another client. 15 mins later, she was still working, and based on the state of the client's hair, it was obvious she was not anywhere near being done. I decided to tell the stylist I was leaving as it was obvious she wasn't available despite my appointment. Then she replied that it was only going to be another 15 mins -- that meant waiting over 30 mins past my appointment time! I find this perfectly unreasonable. The thing is, had she given me a later appt time over the phone, I would still have taken it, but that she suggested the time but couldn't keep it is very disappointing. read more

I needed advice on how to even out my hair color and didn't have a clue what I wanted to do about it and Andy was helpful with that. He also gave me a cute bob to reset my damaged bleached hair. Now I'm on a healthy start to regrow all my hair back! Definitely a great experience- especially since the last place I went to wasn't a great experience at all (over processed my hair and burned me and my hair off!) but it's okay- hair grows back. Anyway, definitely recommend Andy's hair studio. You can tell he's experienced and talented at what he does read more

He has been doing my hair for more than 15 years. He is so good I have followed him all over Chicago! He is humble and definitely has a sense of humor. The shop is quite comfortable and most of all He values my time! I am generally in and out in about an hour! Not to mention he is now open at 6AM 3 days a week! Talk about getting in before work! I recommend this shop for anything you need up to an including a great color job! Have you heard of the cliche' "you get what you pay for" well here you actually do! He knows hair! Whoever Jewell H is.....you need to bring whatever grievance you had to his attention! I am sure he will resolve it. He cant fix what he does not know about. read more

Super nice guy and the salon is clean but as far as my hair, I'm REALLY unhappy. I finally made an appointment to have my short hair that was growing out "blended and shaped." I was extremely specific because I was growing my hair out and didn't want too much cut off. Welp, that's not what happened. Back to square one with growing it out. Totally disappointed. read more

I enjoy going into Andy's. Its convenient and they really attend to their customers. I normally venture in for nail and threading work. Baby Samir really understands how to make a ladie's eyebrows look great. My eyebrow's are never too thin nor too thick. Based on what I see from people getting their hair done in the salon, they look great. I pay attention and I recognize talent when I see it and these fellas really know how to get your hair looking beautiful and flowing. They are always flexible with fitting you in so if you need a stylist that is thorough knows how to take care of your hair. Check out Andy's! read more

Andy's studio is nice and clean. The service is prompt and the people are courteous. I first started going because Samir was doing my hair. Honestly, everyone is good. read more

Really clean hair salon in the South Loop! Andy is very meticulous and definitely knows his craft. What is even greater is he uses Aveda products. A hidden neighborhood gem. read more

My friend recommended me to Andy's. And I'm glad she did. I really like how he does my hair. His place is very clean and nice. He uses Aveda products which is great. I always makes my next appointment before I leave. read more

Yes, Andy is very good but I don't care for the disregard and/or disrespect! That's why I left him after years of service!

To say Andy is good at cutting hair is not good enough. The man is an artist. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I could not be happier with Andy's Salon. They have the best shampoo person in the city. He seriously has magic hands. My stylist is Samir and he also has a magic touch with the curling iron. My long, natural hair is curled to a full, glamorous diva do. For $45, getting my hair done at Andy's is truly a bargain when everyone else absurdly charges extra for "long hair". I will not try another salon ever again! read more

A friend referred me to Andy over 10 years ago. I agree with the comments of others......his work is phenomenal! You will not be disappointed. read more

I have walked by this salon daily given I have been a "Sloop" resident for years. Unfortunately, since I work on the north side of town I never gave this awesome salon a chance. Big mistake on my part. Servive, excellent, Andy, "da best". I have not come across a salon like this in a VERY long time. He was so knowledgeable of short hair styles (which soooo many stylist are not). I explained I had a work headshot in the coming week but did not want to change my existing look. No problem, Andy cleaned up my hair which was like a fresh cut, really. As I walked back to my condo after the quick visit at least 5 + strangers commented on my hair.....which was crazy good in my mind, right? This guy, who owns the shop drives from Skokie EVERY day for those of us in the Sloop, kudos to you Andy!!! (I suggest you check out his services - support the Sloop vendors :) read more

I like Andy, he's nice and a bit entitled. You know, when your hairdresser thinks he knows better than you and everyone else. Although, he definitely does no better. I went to the salon with no makeup and looking ragged. I left the salon and had so many random strangers complimenting my hair...it was insane. Love this place, hope I can randomly come to Chicago atleast once a year to get my hair trimmed. read more

I've been going to Andy for years and he's the best! I've tried other salons over the years based on a a recommendation of one friend or another... but they never compare. My hair super-healthy and I get a lot of compliments on it. read more

OK... so I wanted a new look for a new year... new cut and color. I was referred to Andy as a real "stylist". Two months and over $800 later, my hair is just beginning to grow back from where it fell out and broke off as a result of the processing by the "shampoo guys"... complete with chemical burns from the relaxer... I have a hair color that is nowhere close to what I envisioned, nor what is flattering; also done by the shampoo guys... and I have a haircut (courtesy of Andy) that makes me look like Julius Caesar on a bad hair day. I know... you're asking "why did you go back?"... I guess I thought that at some point Andy would acknowledge the problem and try to make it right... never happened! Maybe this is a good place for a shampoo and blowdry... but I'd skip the real "styling" services. read more

First visit was today and all I can say is it was well worth the trip from the south suburbs. David is a master in coloring and stellar stylist! The environment was aesthetically pleasing! Thanks for making me look FAB-U-LOUS! read more

I use to go to Andy's religiously! I have cancer my hair was in bad shape. He really helped with the damage and it began to grow again. He, at that time, was in to natural hair growing. I have since gone to many shops where I live (Schaumburg Illinois) and have yet to find anyone that can "do" my hair the way Andy did. I went to other shops, (Spyce on Roselle Road ...rip off city) because driving and parking downtown is a headache. But I've scheduled an appointment because I'd rather drive a distance and fuss over parking and have my hair in good hands....then drive 5mins away and be over charges for a bad cut, color and style. read more

I wear my hair natural and love it. I love wearing my natural hair. I love the thickness and fullness of it. I think it's beautiful. I went to Andy to get my hair blow dried and flat ironed for a special occasion. I don't normally wear my hair straight and really don't like to. OMG, I washed my hair after a couple of days, happy to go back to my natural state and my hair has soooooo much heat damage. It's so stringy in places. A patch of my hair fell out from the heat damage. My natural hair pattern is all messed up and my natural styles don't hold the same. I seriously cried. I mean I weaped! I couldn't believe it. My natural hair styles look so messed up. I will have to wear a weave until my natural hair recovers. I will never get my hair straightened here again. My friend says Huetiful Salon is way better for straightening natural hair. She goes there from time to time and has never experienced heat damage. I wish I had went there. read more
