I cannot say enough good things about Kinga. She is truly the best--especially if you're blonde and…read morepicky about it (like me). She absolutely nails my color every single time: bright, natural, healthy blonde with zero brassiness. I get compliments constantly after seeing her, and people always ask who does my hair. Beyond her talent, Kinga is just the sweetest human. She's so warm, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about making sure you love your hair before you leave. She listens, explains what she's doing, and somehow always gives me exactly what I want--even when I can't fully describe it. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your blonde (or honestly any hair), Kinga is it. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. Highly, highly recommend!

You heard that right. $5000 for a complete hair system and then I still have to go in every six weeks and pay hundreds of dollars for upkeep. I was shocked and devastated. I went to my car and started to cry. No one has an extra $5000 laying around. I'm sure their services are great and the hair is top quality, but they're obviously making a lot of money off of their customers. And that's great if you're wealthy.

The results were amazing, I've been looking for a dedicated salon to go to and I easily made my choice. My hair feels SO soft and they didn't gatekeep their products!!! They even linked them to me.

I was cautious at first since I've gone to a korean hair salon and paid $75 for a haircut only to look like a christmas tree in the middle of July (needless to say it was in a bun all year long until it grew out) There was only one guy to take care of me and my two friends. We each wanted something different done. I wanted a haircut, one friend wanted a perm and another wanted her hair dyed. I was the last to be done but it didn't wear this hairstylist a bit. He took time to cut each of my layers and checked over and over to see the "flow" of my natural waves. He cut more of my bangs then before and ive received so much more compliments than before. All i did was get a haircut but i felt like a new person! He was great! I wish i couldve asked for his name. He wears glasses and has a mustache? He is the person to go to!

I have no idea what happened to my review so here it is again…read more The receptionist sets the tone for the whole business. It is an extremely important job. It is not easy. You are dealing with many personalities. A really good receptionist knows how to make a customer always want to come back. Here is my experience tonight. I am horrified. I called yesterday. I gave the salon more than 24 hours notice just as I was told to do. I spoke to a lovely receptionist. I explained to her that heavy storms were coming in with many warnings. I did not want to drive in this weather. They were predicting tornados, hail and heavy winds. She was absolutely lovely to talk to and understood. I also explained to her that I did not want to get a fee for rescheduling. She said she understood and would take care of it. She also told me to call in the morning and let them know once I saw what the weather was like. I followed her advice and immediately called in the morning. I rescheduled my appointment. No problem, At 6:30 tonight Gail called (the other receptionist.) as obnoxious as can be and told me I did not follow the rules. She was going to place a fee on me. I believe it was $25. She kept saying we talked about this and would not stop. I honestly thought she was a broken record. I followed the rules. I did nothing wrong. I will tell you the right does not know what the left is doing. There is no communication between receptionists. This was a power trip and under no circumstances she was going to win. She was determined. That was obvious. Salons are customer service oriented. You have to be this way if you are going to keep your customers. They want the customers to be relaxed by their services. I don't know if Gail got off the wrong side of the bed or if something was going on in her life. She sure took it out on me. I am not going to tolerate this behavior. Nobody should. I wonder if the owners know how she is treating the customers. She cancelled my appointment because she said I did not follow the rules. At this point, I hung up on her. Nobody should ever be treated this way under any circumstances. It was horrifying to say the least. If you want to be abused by a receptionist then I would recommend going here. I am just flabbergasted by the way I was treated. I am in the salon every month. I am not a walk in. I am also surprised that neither of the owners reached out to me. This says it all!

I followed up by directly asking whether the salon only accepts Japanese clients. The staff member confirmed that yes, Don't worry about the racism and discrimination -- if you're not Japanese, they won't take you as a new client anyway.

This is a truly authentic Japanese hair salon (complete with the massage, the shampoo, magazines,…read morechic interior, and complimentary tea). Everytime I go it is as if I'm teleported back to Japan. If you don't know what hairstyle you'd like the stylists are very good at selecting a hairstyle that matches your face shape (or they will go with your choice on hair magazine). Ever since I found this place I have not gone to any other salons. The price is high especially if you get a perm but I think for the service and the ambience and the quality results it is totally worth it.

I've tried a few other salons over the years, but the curls would lose their shape quickly and never had the same bounce or longevity. At Kim Sun Young Salon, the curls stay beautiful, defined, and full of life even a year later.

That level of consistency comes from true expertise. The staff is always warm, professional, and attentive, providing a genuinely high-end experience from start to finish. Exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding service, and results that last. Kim Sun Young Salon sets the standard for digital perms in Chicago. Highly recommended.
