Whatchu talkin bout Lewis? I'll tell you. I had a spiritual experience with Patrick at Edit Salon! From the moment I sat down and looked deep into those fuckin' blue eyes he took the time to really listen to what I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions that made all the difference. His attention to detail is incredible, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and his craft. Not only is Patrick highly skilled, but he also makes you feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The end result exceeded my expectations -- my hair has never looked better! If you're looking for someone who is professional, talented, and truly passionate about what they do, I highly recommend booking with Patrick at Edit Salon. I'll definitely be back! Lucas read more

My wife and I both go to Edit Salon and we're very happy. Cuts are top notch, my wife loves her color, the atmosphere is comfortable and Patrick is an amazing stylist. No pretension, just great service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Service requested specific to curly men's cut. My son's hair is corse, thick,curly, and we thought unmanageable. Whenever he has had it cut somewhere else, it looks frizzy and has an unflattering shape. Patrick took his time using different cutting techniques and styled it after. He also gave my son instruction on styling product and application. For a teen, less is more so the directions were made simple. Since then, my son has a lot more confidence and can finally say he loves his curls. Salon is modern, employees are friendly and environment is chill and relaxed. Thanks Patrick! read more

Had a great cut and color yesterday! My hair was crazy going in - weird colors and varying lengths as I am growing it out. Daniel did a fantastic job with the foil highlights and Katie gave me a great cut without sacrificing a lot of the length. I'm very pleased and I'll def be back! read more

I tried the project option with yelp because I was desperate and needed to get a haircut quickly. Sami responded and got me in right away. She asked a lot of questions to be sure she understood what I wanted. She was efficient and I was really happy with my cut. read more

This was my first time going to Edit. Katie is fantastic! If you want a short bob cut, you should definitely go to Katie.

I've been one more time and both my kids have. After the great review from before, where I did notice a heavy section on my hair and fixed it myself, my daughter went in. The cut she got wasn't at all what she showed pictures of. I contacted the salon for a fix cut, after talking to my shy daughter and her showing me what she asked for. Even after the fix, one side of her hair is less layered than the other and it makes it lay bulky in comparison. My son's hair was more straight forward, so his was fine. My daughter wears it up all the time now because of the uneven. Fast forward and I go in just a couple of weeks ago. The cut I got is good, but it isn't what I asked for. Other than a long section, which I again fixed myself, the front is way shorter than the picture I showed her. The cut I showed was a longer bang on a very textured pixie. What I got was an all over pixie. And I watched her do the razor cutting and then go back in with scissors and cut most of that out. I was so confused by that. Anyways, I have decided that the prices at Edit are not worth the consistent almost right. Everyone is nice. The place is clean. But I handed over just short of $100 with the tip included for almost right. Can't continue to do that. read more

I cant even begin! High end without being intimidating. I'm not trendy or pretty and this town can be very posh when it comes to beauty services...especially if you want said service done well. I've never been to a salon where you have a separate colorist and stylist. This was new. I didnt not like it, but it seemed fancy af, so I was living. Service prices are pretty standard, I think. I got a cut and MUCH needed color for a long time (I'm busy, okay!) grey grow out and it was about 200.00. I also got product, just dont tell my husband. I booked again for 6 weeks out. See you soon, Daniel! read more

Patrick is a master at his craft! I was extremely impressed and have never had a better haircut! I have finally found someone who really knows how to cut naturally curly hair!! read more

This review is specifically for curly hair and a plea to hairdressers to just admit they don't know how to cut curly hair and not book those clients if you don't have the skill set. I booked this place because of the glowing reviews of Patrick specifically and saw lots of comments on his ability to cut curly hair. He also seemed to teach technique which is why while I was bummed I could not get in with Patrick I took a shot with another well reviewed hair dresser optimistically thinking teaching would have cascaded down. I won't name the hair dresser because they were otherwise super nice and from the reviews seems very competent with straight hair. A couple ways I know they did not really know curly hair: - during the consultation I showed pictures of what I was looking for as well as pictures of what I didn't want. They admitted to not really seeing the difference. First red flag. I should have left then. - I told her how I part my hair and how I wanted the messy curly bob that you wear deep parted on either side. she advised cutting using a middle part. I went with it with the attitude the professional knows best, but obviously when hair was dry and I tried to part it it was way too heavy on one side to which they commented "well it's because I cut with a middle part" - when the cut ended they acted a bit surprised that I wanted it diffused and styled. Of course I want to see how the curl cut looks dry? She diffused but only 75% dry. My hair looked completely different an hour later when it was fully dry. Curls are unpredictable and usually you take a look at it dry to see what adjustments need to be made. I subtly showed my displeasure but there was no attempt to fix. I was told i could come back if I really wanted to (I can't I'm an out of towner) Otherwise salon was clean and welcoming and given the wonderful reviews on Patrick I'd give him a try. read more

I had SUCH a great experience with Jessica! She took off about 12 inches and styled my hair exactly as I wanted. The salon itself is really clean and modern, and they primarily use R + Co products, which I love. Jessica also has wavy/curly texture hair, so she knew exactly how to work with my hair, and how to layer it so the curls would look great too. I highly recommend this salon, and I can't wait to return for my next appointment! read more

I am astounded by how good my hair looks after getting it cut by Patrick. He is truly a master. I have curly hair and it can be hard to find someone who really understands how to work with it. Patrick brought my hair back to life. It has more volume and the curls are more defined. I am so happy! On top of that, Patrick is a super nice guy. This was my first haircut since moving to Chicago and I am overjoyed. Highly recommend! read more

Patrick was amazing! Fixed my hair and it turned out beautiful! Staff was great too. Do not hesitate to book your appointment! Well worth it! read more

Trisha is the best! I have followed her wherever she goes and I'm grateful this location is so great! I have been getting my hair cut by her for 12? 14? Years... only once has someone else touched my hair since then. Thankfully it was okay, but after years of people not knowing how to handle my hair, having someone who is amazing is such a relief! Thank you for keeping my (and my entire family, 2 kids and a man piece) hair looking fine! Oh and if your toddler cuts off all her hair herself, Trish can definitely make the lemonade of those lemons! read more

Please don't go here. I made a huge mistake by trusting the salon with my hair. I did read all the reviews and ignored a couple of negative ones. Huge mistake on my part. I would warn against making the same mistake I did! I got an appointment for a toner on my balayaged hair. It was my mistake on my part that I didn't fully understand the services. I also needed a partial balayage. My hairstylist (Trish) told me that she was new to the salon but has had about 30+ years of experience in hair. She assured me that she had enough time to do my roots and add a toner. She also assured me that she can do it all because she had the time and one of the assistants would be blow drying my hair to my liking. I thought it was normal because that does happen at other salons. I did tell her that if she didn't have the time, I could just do some toner and I would be happy with it. She agreed towards the end that she didn't do the consult properly and to my surprise had good suggestions on how this could have been done differently. So I am thinking it's not incompetence as a hair stylist on her part, but maybe miscommunication or an act of racism. I was also the only person of color at the salon and also realised that most of the small talk was around "where I am from" and "what are my plans on going back home". Now that I have had the time to think about it, I realise that it was inappropriate and I was naively engaging in that conversation. She did mention that she had 30+ years of experience in hair which makes me wonder how can someone treat hair like that with so much experience. I was told that no one would be able to blow dry my hair and I might have to go back home with wet hair in Chicago winter! I do still have wetness in my hair after 2 folks roughly dried my hair which left it burnt and damaged. No one put any serum or conditioner in my hair. I also have patches of different shades of brown in my hair. I still smell chemicals which weren't washed out properly by my hair stylist. Definitely see the pictures for yourself. This is the worst hair salon experience I have had in my 27 years and I feel extremely crappy about how a stylist with so much experience roughly handled my hair (which is so important to a persons self image). I also want to warn people that the hair stylist (Trish) didn't remove the chemicals from my hair completely which left my scalp kind of red/irritated with a burning sensation. I had to wash my hair when I got back home to get the chemicals off but my scalp is still irritated! She also messily directed a lot of heat to my scalp while blow drying which added to the irritation (5 hours later, still irritated). The salon did offer me to not charge for the service after seeing how my hair turned out (It was that bad :/ ). read more

I recently had my first cut from Patrick and was so super happy with the experience and results! As someone with very curly hair, I'm always a little nervous seeing someone new. But I could tell right away that I was in good hands. He's clearly passionate about textured hair and it shows. I was delighted to get a cut that gave me a cool shape while maintaining the length. I love the way he styled it, but it looks awesome even when I do very little styling at home, which is definitely the sign of a great haircut. read more

I wish I could give Trish MORE stars! I recently saw a post on Edit's IG and it was almost exactly the haircut I wanted so I scheduled with a cut with Trish through the website. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment, I was greeted by a gentleman that took my winter coat and offered water/coffee etc. The salon is bright, modern, and clean. I sat down to read Food and Drink Magazine and Trish was ready for me right on time! I showed her a picture of what I wanted to do with my hair, she was honest why my bangs wouldn't look exactly like the photo and we talked through a couple alternative ideas, we agreed on a plan, and she executed perfectly! Bonus points because she's a great conversationalist. Trish just made a life long client! read more

I HAD nice curls before I came to this salon. I just hadn't had a cut or a color in over 5 months. I was sick of getting my appointments canceled at my old place or not able to get in so I decided to try this place. I made it EXTREMELY CLEAR that I had had a bad experience years ago with a salon frying my hair when it was colored and how to be very careful and yadda... and I was assured that everything would be fine. The thing is that two separate people do your hair if you need a cut and a color and I couldn't get both done on the same day. So I made an appointment with Patrick to get my hair cut and then with the other guy who I cannot remember but I think his name was Daniel- not sure for about a month later. Patrick did a FABULOUS job on my cut. I LOVED my hair. LOVED IT. My curls were really popping again and it looked fantastic. I was excited to get my roots done and a touch-up... Well, the colorist ruined my hair. I walked in with great curls and walked out with a frizzy, fried mess. I think he knew as he was blow-drying my hair that he messed up. I actually had started to get knots in my stomach when I felt he was processing my hair too long. I made an excuse to ask where the bathroom was in hope he would be "oh, let me check your foils". Nope. So when he was blow drying my hair, he actually told me that he only knows how to color- not how to blow dry hair or style hair. He then said "Oh your hair is drying really fast". Anyone with curly hair knows that if your hair drying that fast there is either not enough product on it and/or it's fried. Sure enough, my once beautiful curls are broken and frizzy. I am so heartbroken over it as my hair is the only good feature I have. Now I will need to wait at least 4 years to get healthy hair at the length that it is now.. I'm going to have to do a big chop and I look terrible with short hair. :( Patrick is great at cuts but if you are a POC with curly hair that colors it, steer clear of the salon for anything but a cut. The one star is for Patrick because he made my hair beautiful... but the colorist then ruined my hair. You have no idea how sad I am over it. read more

My haircut with Marge is just what I asked for, everyone is friendly but it's also a nice calm environment. Will be back!

Shana is the best! I just moved to CHI from STL. I've had the same stylist for 10 years, and I have very thick and wavy hair and a very unique hair color, so it's tough to find people who can cut and color it the way I like. After multiple google searches and word of mouth, I decided to use Edit. I also was looking for a place to remove my extensions, so I filled out an online form. Not only did they respond right away, but she even suggested a salon that could remove my beaded row extensions. I booked with Pat for hair and Shana for color. Shana was absolutely awesome and NAILED the color. It's a tough red to match and it turned out perfect. Also, Pat did such a great job with my cut that I've decided against putting my extensions in again. I will definitely be back. These guys are the real deal. read more

Edit Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you want a McDonald's/fast food type hair experience, this place is for you! If you'd like a personalized experience where the people touching you actually engage with you, I'd probably find another location. I've been going here for years and I still don't think a single person remembers me or knows my name - & that's totally fine! My issue is mainly regarding the last time I went in. I had to schedule my hair cut and color on two separate days, which this is the second time this has been recommended to me since Oct so I assumed it's because of COVID (less bodies in chairs at a time and I 100% respect that). When I arrive, the place is packed! It's an assembly line, 4 people alone with foils on sitting in the waiting area. I was tended to immediately, which was nice, but hardly had any rapport with my stylist. Usually, I'd be happy sitting in silence but I particularly was interested in products there - was looking at them when I was called back - and he just didn't seem interested in my hair, it's upkeep, anything at all. After I waited with my foils, an assistant helped me the rest of the appointment. My stylist was already assisting one or more people. Like I said, assembly line. The assistant was honestly rough brushing my hair out and seemed hesitant when it came to styling it. Did not mention any of the products she was using. I kept being asked if I was getting a haircut and had to be like, no that's at the end of the week. It seemed without the cut, I got less of an experience. I left feeling like my hair was the exact same and it cost $200. I called later that week and cancelled my haircut. The receptionist didn't even ask why/notice that I was just in. She just hung up after I said not to reschedule. That was the nail in the coffin for me. :/ read more

I went to Edit Salon as a guy growing my hair longer. It was a short to medium length, about 2 inches around the sides and 4-5 on top. I shared my goals and some photos with my stylist, and he and I seemed to agree to bring some balance to my hair which needed tidying and a transition cut. He gave me something else entirely. I ended up with a 2 guard clippers used on the sides, which are way shorter than I asked for and inconsistent with the goals we agreed on. The blending is poorly done, and there is such a lack of transition from long to short that it looks like a bowl cut. A family member said it resembles a toupee. I thought I'd wait a couple weeks to see how it grows in and if he had a plan whose successful evolution I couldn't foresee. I can't say that's the case because I am still very unhappy and self-conscious about the way my hair looks, and it has cost me about 4 months of growth. I'm also surprised that at their price, the quality was so low and resulted in a cut that needs to be fixed. I hesitate to generalize my experience to other stylists and the salon as a whole, but I will not be visiting Edit Salon again after this experience. For those visiting for the first time, I'd suggest being more explicit than sharing photos. read more

I'm so lucky I found Michelle, who's highly skilled at color services. I'm a dark haired brunette who's been wanting to "go blonde" for awhile and figured the pandemic was a great opportunity to try. My original/former stylist [at another salon] gave me pretty bad choppy & "stripe-y" highlights and I lucked-out finding about Michelle through some Yelp research. The reviews were right! She was honest with me that my hair is too damaged (years of chemical straightening and coloring) to just go platinum but she fixed the bad highlight job from the other salon, and has gradually continued to take me lighter in a more natural way. And she also put the great idea in my head of buying a good wig if I wanted to go blonde-blonde. Michelle has an awesome and fun personality, and Edit Salon is taking all the tight precautions during Covid ~ I feel completely safe when I'm there. read more

Edit Salon - This was after my first appt giving me highlights and beginning the gradual process of taking me lighter - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Thank goodness for Katie! I have thin, fine, baby hair that never looks good in layers. I went to another stylist who faced me away from the mirror (red flag) and gave me the most uneven "Rachel" 90s shag haircut I've ever seen. I went from long hair 3" past my shoulders to an uneven cut that looked like major chucks and pieces were missing from my hair. I was devastated. I did a ton of research on stylists and made an appointment at Edit Salon. Yelpers didn't steer me wrong... Katie saved the day!! Katie fixed that ragged cut, some how preserved some of the length, and made it look healthier and thicker. I've found my new haircut home. Thank you Katie. A million times, thank you. read more

Best haircut I have had in years. Lenee took a vague statement about wanting layers and a little bit of framing around my face and gave me what is almost an effortless hairdo. I have thick wavy hair that I wear straight, curly, wavy and up at different times which is a lot to ask of hair. Lenee understood that within minutes of seeing and working with my hair. It's been two weeks now and I have been getting tons of compliments. Strongly recommend Lenee!! Best of all perhaps is that she did all this magic in 1 hour. For some reason other people often spend closer to 2 hours on my hair and I don't have time for that. I didn't feel rushed I just felt she knew what to do and did it efficiently. The salon itself is very stylish. There is paid parking on the street nearby and the area is very safe for walking around. read more

I didn't even realize until after I left that I didn't get to see the back of my head. It was not a great cut.

I have been going to Trish to do my hair for over 10 years. She is amazing and cares so much about how you feel when you walk out the door. She is incredible with curly hair, cuts, and color. If you're looking for someone to treat you and your hair right, go see Trish at her new salon! read more

As per the perfect Phoebe Waller-Bridge via her character Fleabag: "Hair is everything. We wish it wasn't, so we could actually think about something else occasionally, but it is. It's the difference between a good day and a bad day." Go see Michelle immediately for that good day and dope as ellllll balayage. You won't regret it! read more

When I decided to cut my hair short I did some heavy googling and yelping and this was the place that I thought I could trust.... & I was right. Patrick was amazing and I've been going here since. Very well organized management, exceptional service every time I've had an appointment.... and Patrick is obviously amazing at what he does(cool person too) I've seen some of the ladies do color and whenever I decide to do that I'll definitely go with them as well. read more

Margot gave me an excellent cut yesterday. My hair is thick, and I wear it in a pixie.

so glad I found this neighborhood salon! i've seen two stylists so far and both did an excellent job and i've ended up loving both 'dos. Prices are reasonable as well. The stylists really take their time and overall provide a relaxing experience. read more

I read all the reviews and was so excited to finally get my hair done after being inside for so long. I asked for a dark chocolate color.....i got BLACK!! This is the darkest my hair has ever been and not what I wanted at all. NOT only that, but the colorist did NOT check on my after my wash. How upsetting, not even a follow-up on the hair color. Also, you dont get a blowdry with color because of capacity issues (even though they still blowdry for haircuts). So you need to leave with a wet head in winter. Luckily the assistant helped me blowdry in between shampoos. Im so upset -- cried in my car after dropping over $100 for something I saved for and was supposed to be a nice treat after a long time. read more

Really wonderful salon. Lenee is the best for haircuts and Daniel did a lovely job on my highlights since my previous colorist left. The salon is small with spread out chairs so you don't feel crowded or like part of an assembly line. I do miss the days when they carried Bumble and Bumble but they now use organic/vegan products that are great! read more

Excellent service, they don't try to impose anything they work with your idea. Highly recommended read more

I've been going to Edit for 4 years now. Felt very safe during the pandemic as well. Attached a photo off my favorite hair to date. You will never get a better haircut than with Patrick. He is highly skilled and fun to talk to. LaRae works hard to get you an appointment as quickly as possible that still works with your schedule, so much appreciated. If you're going for color, make an appointment with Shana. Especially for blondes. And finally, I got to see Samantha once for a blowout and it was absolutely perfect. Seriously. I'm sure everyone else is just as wonderful. read more

Edit Salon - Haircut and color - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This review is long over due. Patrick has been cutting my hair now for well over a decade. I started going to him after a recommendation from a co-worker, but turns out that Patrick is often the stylist for all of the ladies at work with the best hair :) Comparatively to the others, I am pretty conservative with my hair style(s) and my main priority is low-effort and easy to maintain hair. I H-A-T-E doing anything with my hair--it's just not in my genetic make-up to have any desire whatsoever to spend time "doing" my hair every day. Patrick's knowledge and experience has made my hair woes obsolete. Before Patrick, every hair cut was always nice-ish in the beginning but then after a month it would be terrible--the focus on short-term styling left my hair in states of confusion when it came to growing back in (e.g. feeling like I'm wearing a helmet for hair). This is where Patrick's skills really come through. I never have any idea of how I want my hair cut when I go in, I just know whether I want to keep it "shorter" or "longer", and he takes it from there--and EVERY time, it grows in perfectly. I'm embarrassed to say that one time he cut it so well (and also because I decided to grow my hair out) that it was nearly a year between appointments. Whether when my hair is cut shorter and it's a more extreme cut with lots of layers and hair thinned out, or kept longer with more subtle layers, it always feels great (and looks great too). I trust Patrick completely and would not hesitate to recommend him and Edit to anyone else. The salon itself is always super clean, welcoming and has great music playing in the background. If you're lucky, you may also be graced with Herb's (Patrick's adorable bulldog) presence. read more

Hadn't gotten my hair done in months due to COVID and because I just moved to Chicago and have been hesitant about taking the plunge to find a new stylist. I've received several recommendations from friends but Edit is next door to my home and all the good reviews on Yelp definitely pointed me in the direction of Edit. Also, they are dog friendly! I sent a appointment request and I quickly received a response and they were able to squeeze me in that evening with Pat and Allison. Allison was very friendly and loved the color she did on my hair. Even the shampoo/head massage I got was heavenly. Pat did a wonderful job nailing the cut I was going for. It is truly a collaborative experience with Allison focusing on the color and Pat on the cut. read more
