I had chemotherapy 2 years ago and have been trying to grow my hair back since then. I finally decided - why wait years to have the hair I really want?? I went in for a free consultation and learned all about the different type of extensions and what would work best for my hair. I scheduled an appointment with Katherine for about 2 weeks later - she helped me pick out exactly the colors I would need to achieve the look I was going for. Pricing is discussed up front and there were no surprises at the end. I feel absolutely amazing, and because of the INSANE deals they offer to their extension clients on blowouts - I'll be back next week to have my fabulous hair styled. While I was getting my extensions done, I watched the owner do highlights on another client - I have never thought about getting extensions for highlights instead of bleaching/damaging your own hair - I can't believe more people don't do this. Brilliant!

The stylists know what they're doing but always ask lots of questions to ensure your service is done to your liking. I have had a few bad experiences with salons and the idea of anyone touching my hair again was terrifying. I have had my color done here (absolutely beautiful thank u Nash) I have had my hair cut and blowout ... absolutely amazing work with great technique. Not only was the experience amazing but Philip also was super understanding when I got the appointment time mixed up and as someone who hates being late I appreciated it more than anything. I love this salon . I love the work they do and the people they are. I feel beautiful light and amazing again . Thank you Gold Coast salon U will be seeing me again

Bait-and-Switch Pricing: $190+ Advertised, $680+ Quoted In-Person…read more I had an extremely disappointing experience at Gold Coast Salon that I believe constitutes deceptive business practices. What I Booked: I'm new to Chicago and found Gold Coast Salon through Google, where they're listed as a "relaxed salon" with quality work. Their website clearly advertised full babylights starting at $190+. I booked an appointment with Ashlee on 5/15 and paid a $95 deposit. She immediately requested photos of my current hair and my desired results, which I provided (see attached photos). What Happened: I arrived early to my appointment on 5/29. After examining my hair, Ashlee quoted me $680-$700 for the service without blow dry or cut. This was over 3.5 times the advertised price. I understood the "$190+" meant the price could vary, but in what world does a jump to $700 make sense? That's not a reasonable variation, it's egregious and deceptive. I came prepared for the price to be higher than the base rate, but this kind of markup is completely unreasonable for babylights on already blonde, shoulder-length fine hair. When I expressed that my budget was $300-$400, she offered to "see what she could make work." She returned with a scaled-down option: face-framing highlights and a few babylights for around $390. During this back-and-forth, she claimed the high price was due to this being a "full color correction." Look at my photos. I'm already blonde. This is clearly not a color correction situation. When I pushed back on the pricing, Ashlee condescendingly told me that this cost might not be in my "beauty budget" but it is in a lot of her other clients' budgets. This comment was not only rude and dismissive, but completely missed the point: this isn't about affordability, it's about being misled by advertised pricing. The Unacceptable Resolution: Realizing I couldn't trust her judgment or spend hours in this uncomfortable situation, I requested to simply use my $95 deposit toward a trim and leave. She refused, insisting I could only receive the service I originally booked or be charged the full amount. I left without services and with my deposit held hostage. The Issue: This is textbook bait-and-switch advertising. Advertising services at $190+ and then quoting nearly $700 in person with no transparency about pricing factors beforehand is deceptive and potentially illegal. Their own booking policy states deposits "will be applied towards your services," yet they refused to honor this for an alternative service despite their egregious pricing discrepancy. I am pursuing this matter through my credit card company and appropriate consumer protection channels. Do not book here if you value transparent pricing and honest business practices.

5-Star Review for Megan at Epoch Studio Salon…read more I cannot say enough amazing things about Megan at Epoch Studio Salon! If you're looking for someone who truly masters tape-in extensions, she is the one. From the moment I sat in her chair, I felt completely confident and taken care of. She listened closely to what I wanted, gave helpful guidance based on my hair type, and created a plan that felt personalized and thoughtful. The install itself was flawless--lightweight, comfortable, and perfectly blended with my natural hair. You can't see or feel the tapes at all, and the color match is so seamless that people genuinely think it's all my own hair. Megan works with such precision and care, and you can tell she's incredibly knowledgeable about proper placement, maintenance, and long-term hair health. On top of her technical skill, Megan is warm, professional, and truly passionate about what she does. She walked me through aftercare, answered all my questions, and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. My confidence is through the roof thanks to her work, and I get compliments everywhere I go. If you're considering tape-in extensions--whether it's your first time or you've had them before--run, don't walk, to Megan at Epoch Studio Salon. She is genuinely the best in the business! my name is emily baldwin idk how to change the name!!! lol.

My best friend recommended her to me, and now I can't stop recommending her to anyone and everyone I know because her skills are unmatched. She is an absolute expert, knows what she's talking about, understands technique for any and all hair types - she is upfront and honest (hard to find in the industry far too often). Gina transformed my hair (after multiple really bad experiences with extensions) - and she is entirely transparent, thorough, and will not let her clients feel anything except their absolute best. After my experience I don't think I could EVER imagine letting anyone else come close to my hair besides her. If you're looking for your forever extension / hair expert look no farther!!
