This salon was highly recommended to me by friends with beautiful hair. I came for a trim, my hair is super curly, and texture varies throughout my head. My stylist was kind, but I could sense she wasn't super experienced with curly hair. My hair is now in a very mix matched shape/length. I would not recommend for curly girls, but maybe people with looser textures. read more

I've been seeing Ambrocio for the perfect cut and balayage for years. I cannot recommend him enough. Every cut is perfection and it's always awesome to see him. The shop is cute and always has a good vibe. Leticia's clients always come away with great hair too! read more

I'm so grateful for Ambrocio and his salon . I've been coming to him since I moved to Chicago almost 10 years ago and I can't imagine going elsewhere. He is quite talented and love that they use quality products on your hair. I bring my mom in each time she visits me from out of state and she feels like such a princess afterwards. I know it's challenging trusting and finding a hair stylist, and I'm telling you, make an appointment and see for yourself why everyone comes here . read more

Casanova Salon - Haircut and styled by the one and only Ambrocio - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best kept secret for value for money in Chicago. Ambrosio is awesome. His prices are modest, so tip him well.

Leticia did a beautiful job on my hair. Super kind and reasonably priced. I was so happy with what she did to give me a new look. She has herself a future returning customer!! Great vibe. I was not sure what I was requesting and Leticia walked me through all of the terminology and talked me through to make sure I knew what I was asking for and wanted. read more

Leticia did an amazing job on my hair! I went in with a specific color in mind for my toner (and emphasized I wanted to neutralize the warm red tones) and she did just that. She also gave me beautiful long layers exactly as I hoped for. Leticia is friendly and such a sweetheart. The salon windows face right towards the sun, I almost fell asleep! Will definitely be going back :) read more

Absolutely one of the best around. There are few people I would trust to take me from red to natural (or back again). Ambrosio is a masterful colorist and stylist. The whole team at Casanova is great. read more

Leticia is amazing! I've been getting my haircuts from her over a year now (I get them frequently cos I like my hair short) and she does a great job! She also colors my hair very very well. She's the only one I let touch my hair! read more

Went this morning after finding them because I've never had my hair cut since moving to Chicago. I donate my hair so it isn't a frequent thing for me. They had quick availability. On arrival, I was seen waiting outside before they opened so I was welcomed inside to their cute new spot. They are very friendly and affordable, and Leticia was very accommodating when I would ask her to make a modification to the style so that I got exactly the cut I wanted. (And Kasia's is nearby so that's an added bonus!) If I'm still around by my next donation, this is definitely where I'll be returning. read more

Every time I see Leticia at Casanova Salon, I know I'm in good hands. Leticia always intuitively knows what to do when I describe a hairstyle I'm looking for, and she makes the experience a relaxed, fun, and enjoyable one. I leave every visit feeling happy and confident, and receive compliments on my hair for weeks! And, she has chocolates! Highly recommend. read more

Leticia is an absolute angel, who is also really good at cutting hair. She truly is an expert! Great price with haircuts starting at $30. If you're reading this go here. read more

I moved to the Ukrainian Village/West Town area a year ago and feel so grateful to have a great neighborhood salon. Ambrocio is my stylist, so talented with cut and color. The salon staff came to my home on my wedding day and did everyone's hair and makeup. Exceeded everyone's expectations and made the day less stressful to be capable hands! read more

I've been going to Casanova since I moved to West Town. Leticia has been cutting my hair since. Her availability is perfect for after work cuts. Great conversations, Great hair cut, Great environment read more

Ambrocio & Abraham did our hair and make up for my daughter's XV and I can't say enough of how great it was. They made sure everything was perfect for us. Receive great compliments all around. Thank you Casanova Salon for making our day special. read more

The place is spacious and well organized. The ambience is very homey and welcoming. I love how much natural light comes in through the windows. My go-to stylist is Ambrocio. He's the best. Not only is his work amazing, he is a great person to converse with. He is so funny and full of life. I love his energy. Regarding his work, he always leave my hair looking amazing. My hair grows fast and healthy each time he cuts it. I got bangs today and he's the first person to style my bangs just the way I want them. Definitely recommend this place to anyone :) read more

Called for same day appointment at 3:30 and they let me in. Very nice and and knew exactly what I needed for my hair!

So glad to find a salon with Aveda products and a chill vibe. Casanova has become my favorite salon because of it's ambiance and the wonderful Theresa. So glad I finally found a stylist that can always work magic with my hair and that helps me relax...(I've fallen asleep a few times...hee hee), but that's always a good thing! I leave there feeling relaxed and looking like a new person every time! The salon is always super clean and stylists are very professional. Super added bonus: they serve tea and always play great music! read more

Thank you to Ambrocio for making sure my hair color was just what I was looking for. Extra care and professional.

I pretty much only let Theresa at Casanova cut my hair. She listens to what I want and is patient with me as I scroll through celebrity haircuts that I want to try out. I always leave with my hair feeling light and looking great. The products they use here are also top notch. They make my hair SO soft and smooth, and they usually have those products for sale too. I bought the Aveda Smooth Infusion gel that works as a heat protector, and I use it every day. Side note: there is street parking. I usually pay for 2 hours. read more

I just went there today! And my hair was all over the place different colors and Angel ( the guy who did my hair) had pull through! read more

Casanova Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My girls love Leticia and she was super helpful when I had to cut a lot of my hair off and she was super helpful with the process!

I have lived in Ukrainian village for quite a while and l pass through this salon often and finally l decided to make an appointment. The gentleman that help me is sort of a fixture there and l told him what l wanted done with my hair cut, he was friendly and did exactly what l envisioned. I was super super pleased! He was a true master of his craft. He took the time to do it right. I normally can't sit long enough for a blow-dry as l am very impatient but l was calm and relax and he knew how to do it properly (you know those lame blow dry jobs that tell you when they are terrible?) Lol! I will update his name shortly as l can't remember (I am terrible) The salon may be unassuming but it was very clean and In Lieu of COVID-19 they took all the precautions asked by the state. What l like the most about my experience is that he told me to feel free to go back if l notice I needed some retouch or if l was in any way unhappy the day after. Some people are very picky with their hair and l have known many that do go back and get a retouch. He truly wanted to make sure my first time here was satisfactory. That little comment of taking the extra mile determined what a true professional he is. He also offer me a first time client discount which l was not expecting. You would think with all this restrictions they would forget that promo. But no, my only regret is not having been here sooner! I highly recommend this little gem, in addition they are an Aveda salon and nothing can beat that! Try this place! You will be coming back! read more

I found my forever salon and my forever stylist Maria! This is hands down the best salon ever! Maria did an amazing job! She did what I have wanted done for decades and no one could ever get it right! This is the color I dreamed of having!! Everyone else has always made my hair brassy or orangish. I told her please whatever we can do to avoid that! She did it perfectly! It never even got to the brassy orangeish that others have done. Maria must be the stylist to the stars because that how amazing my hair looks and how overjoyed and happy I am! I finally feel good about my hair! I can't thank Maria enough! read more

Highly recommend this salon. I read a review on Facebook about how they are taking Covid precautions seriously and decided to give it a try. Regarding Covid precautions, I was greeted at the front door with hand sanitizer and a temp check. Staff wore masks and I saw that pens and such were wiped with disinfectant clothes after use. Upon leaving, hand sanitizer was offered and the door was opened for me. I felt comfortable being there. Regarding my hair experience, I finally feel I found a salon that I like in Chicago. I used to live in Spain and would frequent salons there because they were more affordable, quick, and I would always get the latest hair styles. I stopped going to salons in Chicago because they are so expensive and I never feel my hair looks much different than when I arrived, even though I would be there for like 3 hours a cut. Well Casanova is affordable and gave me a great style and all in under 40 minutes. Ambrocio was my stylist and I will be going back on a frequent basis, because I can afford to! He was very attentive and gave me a great new style based on what I had asked. Also, I love that they use Aveda hair products and I was not pressured or given a sales pitch to buy anything. read more

I got a very last minute blowout here. The did a great job! And she took her time! Love that she uses all Aveda products!!

Ambrocio is the best. He's the most hard working person I know, talented and very passionate about his work. I used to be a box color person till i decided to go to him on my wedding day and i never went back to box ever again. I am so happy that he decided to open his own salon bc he's just an overall amazing stylist. As an asian, rarely hv others gotten the 'blonde' shade quite right for my skin, it always turned out some kinda orangeish copper color, i was a lil worried for my wedding day at first, but Ambrocio exceeded my expections by a tenfold. Not only did he get the shade perfect, he actually consulted for a colors that was even better than i thought i wanted for myself. Ive also tried a nice natural brunette that came out perfect for fall and winter. I am extremely happy with his results time and time again. And ofcourse Aveda products are a major plus! read more

Casanova Salon - Whether short or long, blonde or brunette, i always love & trust Ambrocio's recommendations! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had a full highlight and cut done by Angel. He was so detailed and thorough and really made sure to get everything just right. I'm amazing - I look exactly like the picture I showed him! My experience makes me feel like I've been jipped by other places that have given me a "full highlight". They really do it right here and I plan on being back regularly. read more

I've been living as an introvert through many years cause I don't like interacting with people. And this day is my first time I will be hanging out with my first boyfriend. I am really excited for this day and so, I decided to schedule an appointment in this salon cause I want to be look good in front of him. I am really shy to enter in this kind of place and I am thankful that the staffs are nice and they made me so comfortable inside while they are doing my nails and make up. I told them what I wanted to do with my hair and face, and he was friendly and delivered exactly what I wanted. The finish product is so lovely! I feel so pretty with what they've done to me. It's simple but I love it very much! He was a true pro at what he did. He took the time to do things properly. So, all in all, I must say " It's perfect! I will come back again for sure because my boyfriend love my hair and makeup too. read more

First time here and had a great experience. My hairstylist Angel was the best. Went for a fade and trim and it came out amazing. If u need that and more go to him. Highly recommended. 5 star service. read more

I just had the most wonderful full highlight and haircut with Angel. He listened to what I wanted and executed like a dream. I haven't had a haircut since COVID hit and was so glad to see they were following all safety precautions. I would highly recommend Casanova Salon and Angel as a stylist! read more

Wow! Shocker to see a negative review Ambrocio is the BEST!!! Hands down .. He is the owner of my hair and after 3+ years of his services I have never been disappointed. From day one I knew Ambrocio is a keeper! Love him! My only comment to Ambrocio is take it from who is coming from... Unfortunately she seems to be very unhappy with life... Particularly her life! Based on her other reviews it seems that what happened with her hair is not the issue.....perhaps looking at life in a positive way may change her outlook on everything... Ambrocio you keep your chin up! You do an amazing job! See you next week read more

Angel did a great job with my haircut. I had just moved to the area and wasn't sure where to go... I'm glad I found this place. Very friendly, great vibe and a high quality haircut. 5 stars is an understatement! read more

I love this place and I am going back soon!!!! Very talented and professional! They carry Aveda products which are very good. I had my hair color (roots) done and I had my hair cut. I was very pleased! read more

I went to a new stylist named Angel at this salon. I am always nervous to try someone new but he came highly recommend. I was not disappointed. It was one of the best cuts I have ever had. The salon is nice and very welcoming. There are only 4 stylist so you get very personalized service, not like some of the lager salons that feel more like a hair factory than a place to treat to yourself. I pleasantly surprised when I went to pay. The price was very reasonable. I have paid much more for worse service and not near as good of a cut. This is definitely my new go to salon. read more

I first came to Casanova Salon because my hairstylist Ambrocio transferred here from a previous salon. Ambrocio really knows my hair and understands what I want. All of the groovy music that they play and wine that they offer also make the environment very fun! This salon is a very ideal place. Very relaxing, and they do a great job! read more

I recently relocated to Chicago and was faced with the daunting task of picking a new salon to go to. In my neighborhood there are an overwhelming number of salons, but I landed on Casanova because it has good reviews and is very close to my house. Ambrocio did an amazing job. He is very thorough and meticulous and checked in with me about how I felt the cut was shaping up multiple times. I was very overdue for a haircut and left feeling beautiful and like a weight had been lifted! So happy to have found my new hair salon. read more

UPDATE: I went for the first time to get my hair cut and highlighted with Ambrocio. The BEST. He took his time to ask questions and was super thorough with his work. Not only do I love my ombre and cut, he even gave me a hand and arm massage, as well as a scalp massage. Ahhhh!!! These guys are the best. To top everything off, I was served wine and he gave me 20% off since it was my first visit for hair. Can't say enough good things! Keep up the amazing work guys! ____________________________________________________________________________________ This review is a little late but better late than never!!! I came here in November to get my make-up done for a formal wedding. The wedding was the day after Thanksgiving and it was difficult to find a salon that was open. I called Cassanova (because it is steps away from my home) and they said they would be happy to come in to do our make-up! It was like our own private beauty session. It was also my mother's birthday and I wanted her to be treated like a Queen! Boy, was she. Not only did they supply the wine - Ambrocio also did my mother's hair on the house as she sat and waited for my make-up to be done. WOW. She looked so beautiful and felt it. It was so great! Now to my make-up! I showed Abraham a photo (I like the smoky, glam look) and holy moly did he deliver. It was exactly what I wanted. I felt so glam. I will never go anywhere else to have my make-up professionally done. And to top it all off, he gave me the lipstick to take with me. Bonus! What a wonderful experience. They are quite the duo! I will be back for other services in the very near future!! read more

This review is long overdue, but I need to give Ambrocio the review that he deserves. I was 3 months postpartum and my beautiful waist long hair was starting to fall out. Along with needing a new look to go with my new life as a mom, what better way to reinvent yourself than to give yourself a new hair do. I wanted new hair, and I needed it now. Making an appointment with Ambrocio was as easy as ordering takeout. I was able to make an appointment for that same evening--no hassle. All my life I've always been self-conscious about my diamond face shape. Ambrocio encouraged me to embrace it and made me fall in love with myself. I asked for the famous LOB originally wanting to cover the sides of my face to make it appear more oval. Instead, Ambrocio said there's nothing to hide and focused more on enhancing my strong features and truly making the style work with my face shape. Ambrocio takes care of his customers more than just their hair problems. One time, my meter ran out and my car was about to be issued a ticket. Ambrocio ran out into Chicago's frigid weather and fed my meter for me. Not sure who else would have gone out of their way for me. read more

It was my first visit to Casanova, and I'll be back! Maria listens and asks questions about what you're looking for, and executes it beautifully. Love that they use the Aveda line of products, and have a number of items for purchase, if you want to splurge! read more
