I've gone back and forth on whether to write this review, but if it helps spare someone else the…read morestress, here it is: I came into Robert Jeffrey for a PuraLuxe frizz treatment approximately 2.5 weeks before my wedding as my regular salon does not offer this service and I heard good about it. I contacted Robert Jeffrey twice to confirm there would be no adverse effects given the timing. I was told my hair might get slightly lighter, which I was comfortable with, as I regularly get highlights and had a toner appointment scheduled with my usual stylist shortly thereafter. Otherwise, they all raved about the treatment. My appointment itself was fine, but once my hair was dried and straightened, it was immediately clear my hair was SIGNIFICANTLY lighter and was an ugly orange-ish red color - very different from my normal brown. I mentioned this at the salon but was largely dismissed in favor of focusing on how smooth and straight my hair looked. After washing my hair for the first time, it smelled HORRIBLE- absolutely rancid and worse when wet (reddit describes it as dead rats and sewage which honestly is pretty spot on). My now husband was even disgusted by it. The smell didn't fade despite repeated washing. When I contacted the salon, I was told they had never heard of this issue and suggested it could be due to needing extra product for my long hair- which they charged me for... I looked into the odor myself and found it can occur if the product is not fully rinsed prior to drying and straightening. I sent the salon before-and-after photos that clearly showed the color change and was offered a toner. Given my experience at Robert Jeffrey and how close my wedding was, I did not want to go back and instead went to my regular stylist, who followed the PuraLuxe guideline of waiting before performing a clarifying shampoo. She was SHOCKED by my hair. When I eventually spoke with an owner, she seemed bothered and suggested the lightened color was due to the clarifying shampoo (which is ridiculous). I received only a 20% refund, despite spending hundreds of dollars at my regular salon to correct the color and get rid of the smell. Unfortunately, I can't say the product helped my hair at all. It isn't smoother, sleeker, or softer, and at times the front pieces actually feel more brittle. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the salon, the lack of transparency around potential negative effects, how the situation was handled, and the PuraLuxe product itself.

Jackie at Stranded Salon in Lincoln Park is absolutely amazing! She has such an incredible eye for…read morehair color and somehow understands exactly what I want--even when I don't quite know how to explain it myself. I can give her the vaguest idea, and she just gets it. My color always looks beautiful, dimensional, natural, and exactly right for me. I completely trust her judgment and always leave feeling like the best version of myself. If you're looking for someone who truly understands color and has that rare ability to know what will look best on you, Jackie is your girl!

Mallory always gives me a great haircut and while I no longer get my hair colored (personal decision nothing to do with her) she used to do a great job with my balayage.

Some free side streets as well but some are permitted after a certain time.

Ashley was a dream! She's very thoughtful, and truly listened to what I needed. While she's a reserved young woman, don't let her quiet demeanor fool you! She's fierce when it comes to providing amazing service. My only quibble, and this has nothing to do with Ashley, is that the salon was so busy I was pretty much left to my own devices before Ashley came in for the day. While I don't expect champagne and flowers (though, hey, wouldn't knock 'em!), it would have been nice to have been at least offered a glass of water!

My colleague recommended that I see Benito Barron. Little did she know that he does NOT have the…read morelicense to practice cosmetology in Illinois -- and I was about to pay for his lack of credentials. At my appointment in December, Benito acted unprofessionally and ruined my hair. He put bleach and heat on my already-bleached hair, then left the salon and locked me inside. Twice. Later, he took a shot of liquor and continued to smoke and drink throughout the rest of the appointment. Benito's treatment of my shoulder-length hair resulted in my hair breaking off just an inch below the scalp in some places and falling out altogether in other places. He demanded that I pay an additional $50 for the products that he used during the appointment. Due to his inebriated state plus his aggressive language and disposition at this point, I did not feel as though I could safely refuse or negotiate what I owed despite being completely dissatisfied with the service and outcome of the dye job. After all this, they ignored my calls and messages when I tried to call back to discuss the incident. Within days of my appointment with Benito, I sought out several other professional opinions. The only option was to get a pixie cut. I am deeply troubled by Benito Barron's actions and I am very concerned on behalf of his current and future clientele that he is continuing to practice cosmetology despite his questionable business practices in addition to not having the proper credentials or continuing education required by the Illinois state licensing agency.
