This review is for Freddy. I am visiting from out of town and looked on yelp last minute for a…read moreblowout by my hotel. Not a lot of blowout bars in this area, so went with this salon. So glad I did! Literally best blowout I've gotten! I got a scalp scrub (extra $30) so worth it, with a shampoo and blowout. Also reasonably priced for the quality of service. Let me tell you I get tons of blowouts and I am SUPER PICKY. I have extensions, thick unruly hair and he did magic! Gave it volume, did my bangs exactly how I wanted and the curls were perfection. If I lived here I'd probably go here all the time. Also everyone was really sweet and cute! It was snowing and they even gave me a shower caps to protect the hair!

I went in for a simple hair and bangs trim with Alyssa and had a terrible experience. On top of…read morethis, the Salon never responded to my emails, eventhough they claim to have offered to correct my haircut that I had supposedly declined! I asked for my hair to be cut to my collarbone, but it ended up about two inches longer than requested. When I pointed it out, she insisted it was the correct length. She blow dried my hair to crisps without any heat treatment. My hair was pulled repeatedly and my neck was scratched with the brush and her nails. Even after saying it hurt, the styling didn't improve. The final blowout was uneven, with some pieces flipping in and others out even though I asked for a straight style. If I could give a negative 5 stars I would.

Love this salon -- super clean, great location, and everyone there is so sweet. Fantastic wash,…read morecut, and blowout every time. Highly recommend!

As someone with darker hair, I'm extremely particular about coloring my hair, and at LG I've always felt my hair is treated with extreme care and expertise.

I was hoping for a different result with my haircut. I had asked for a butterfly haircut with…read moreface-framing curtain bangs and tapered layers to get some lightness and volume but the outcome ended up being a mediocre haircut. I even showed some photos just to give her the idea of what I really wanted. Unfortunately, the back hair was so heavy and not layered literally a blunt straight cut. Some strands were uneven on the temple area. And I do not have any curtain bangs as desired. My hair is thick and needs texturing and thinning shears to give it that nice flow. I was expecting something softer and more textured. I just wanted to share this feedback to tutor stylist on some popular haircuts. The salon is really gorgeous and modern and the staff is very polite I just wish I had came out with a desired haircut from this salon.

Two years ago I visited Cressida and was impressed with her skills however I do remember when she…read moreworked on me she accidentally burned my forehead with the heat from her flat iron and accidentally knocked one of my earrings from my ears while using her heating tool. The reason why I'm leaving two stars here tonight is because I recently gave her another chance thinking she Might listen to me and surprise me with a good hair reshaping. Last week I saw Cressida and explained that two years ago I received short layers from a man who owned a private salon in Lakeview. I told her it was taking a very long time to grow the layers out and that I'm just in need of a reshaping. I asked her to cut my hair wait due to my wavy 2c curl pattern but she refused to listen to me and decided to instead flat iron my hair. I left with thinned out hair and tried to be gracious. But on Sunday I got my hair wet and noticed she had removed too much weight off my bottom layer and my hair felt much lighter and took only about 30 minutes to dry instead of two hours! I thought it looked more wavy than curly and thought ok I can deal with it but recently I put my shampoo throughout and as it dried I literally say a lot of stringiness in the front of my face. I realized she had followed an old line pattern from the original person who had given me short layers at my crown. It's like she didn't listen to me at all and she put those short layers everywhere even throughout the back of my head. She literally violated my trust and tonight I noticed burn marks on the sides of my forehead where her flat iron accidentally touched my skin. I scheduled a consultation with the owner and showed him how the cut looked curly and explained it definitely wasn't a cut I asked for because my goal was fewer layers and long hair. I asked him what exactly had Cressida done because I almost felt it could be intentional. I didn't mention she hurt me with the flat iron while touching my fringe. He said Cressida gave me collapsible layers extending my hair to make it look "longer". I literally cried in front of him because since wearing it curly this week all compliments to my hair have stopped. When I had cut my own hair I received compliments to my hair but after Cressida "blended" layers I am left with short layers that will definitely not grow out beautifully. Moving forward i will be going to a curly hair specialist or at least not cutting anything for several months. The owner did agree to refund me in full and at least he listened to me. The reason I'm writing this review is because I see that Cressida put me a full year behind my goal. She removed too much weight off my bottom layer and added too many layers which gave me short layers all over again which I was patiently growing out. These are recent photos. I'm relieved Salon buzz issued me a refund but I'm very disappointed that Cressida chose to cut my hair by adding too many layers when my hair is so fine. I'm not sure why she insisted on using a flat iron to cut my hair when I warned her how curly my hair is.

I've already gone to this Salon twice and will be coming back for my next appointment. She is a good listener when I told her what I was going for and showed her pictures of the tone I liked. I also let her know that I've been trying to grow out my hair so she took a small amount versus other hair stylists I've been to will take off an inch or more without telling you. Not only is she a great listener but very sweet. She always makes sure I like the end result of my hair. She always makes me feel comfortable while getting my hair done versus other places where I was nervous to see how my hair would turn out. The salon is in a great location that makes it easy for me to get there from the loop on the brown line exiting off Armitage. Their website makes it easy to book your next appointment. I really like the atmosphere at the salon, it is very clean and plays great music not too loud. The washing station is towards the back of the salon next to a fireplace which makes it very cozy. I highly recommend Salon Shiloh but specifically Simone :) I can't wait to see her again!

One day, I stumble upon YeJi when she placed an ad calling for hair models. I start to think, "Why not? This opens the door for the perfect opportunity to restyle my hair and be a hair model"! What a wonderful concept! I need to contact her. I really like her style and the way she cuts hair. YeJi comes across as down to earth. I can totally relate to her. Before styling my hair, YeJi asks questions about what I do with my hair, what sort of style I want my hair to look like, and if I put up my hair. During the experience, we talk about music, lifestyles, food, families, and relationships. I love that vibe at Salon Shiloh. The atmosphere feels relaxed and calm. The staff interacts with one another very well. Their vibes connect on various levels. Make an appointment with YeJi! The fabulous stylist at Salon Shiloh.
