I got a haircut with Katie who did a bob. She did an amazing job and I'm very happy with my new style. Booking an appointment was easy and the salon is nice. This was my first time and I plan on returning. read more

Just saw Daniel for color and Katie for a cut after nearly a year of neglecting my hair. I walked out with as close to my dream hair as I can imagine. They both listened to my vague thoughts on what I wanted and took the reigns to leave me happier than I've been with my hair in many, many years. read more

All the staff were cold and unfriendly. I showed the stylist a picture of what I wanted, she also asked to confirm how long I wanted the front to hang down, then she proceeded to cut it 1.5 inches shorter than we agreed on. read more

I want to cut my hair and at the same time colored it. So I planned to come here. Staff greet me a nice way and ask me what I want. I told to her that I want to cut my hair short then colored it after with a color of ash gray. She lead me the way to sit in the chair. First she cut my hair then blower it. Shes too careful to blower it. Then trim the edge part of my hair. After that she colored my hair. First she bleach it then colored it with ash gray. Im not getting board since we talk to each other. They also have a free access of wifi. After an hour she wash my hair then shampoo it. She too good in coloring my hair. No excess of color in my neck and face so I will give 5 stars for this. And also I will give five star to their customer service and five stars cause the output lf my hair was excellent. I love it. read more

Jessica cut my hair, and I was thrilled with the result! I got a long wolf cut, which is more experimental than the cuts ive always gotten elsewhere. Jessica was detail-oriented, and thoughtful throughout the process and with answering questions. The final look was exactly what we discussed and matched the reference photos I brought in. Music choice was great too, would totally recommend this place! read more

My sister wants to get her haircuts and asked me if I could accompany her to the salon. And because it's been a long time since I got my hair done I agreed to go with her. Our usual go-to salon is closed and we don't know any other salon in our area. So we searched online and saw this place called Edit Salon, it has pretty decent reviews online so we decided we will try to get our hair done there. When we got there we were welcomed by its classy atmosphere and fancy interior, I really like the lights inside. The hesitation within us faded when we saw how professional they are and how they really know what their job is. No wonder they got high reviews because I really love how my hair turns out. They reached my expectations. And my sister also loves her haircut. Plus the staff here are friendly and comfortable to be with. read more

UPDATE: It's been forever since I reviewed this salon. 1. I still LOVE IT. 2. My girl Yvette left (sad face), but I started going to Shania...who still makes my cool blonde perfect! 3. I've been going to Chase for a long time for cuts. Love him. Love the cuts. 4. Herb is the cutest dog ever 5. Check out edit! Love this place. I'm still seeing Yvette. She works magic on my "bottled blonde." It's perfect every time. Mila is my girl for cuts. She does a fantastic job snipping up my do and refreshing my look. What I really love...is absolutely all of the staff are genuinely nice...which is hard to find at a good salon. And I really love that when they cut or color my hair...they always do a great blow out and usually even put a bit of pizzazz with some curls or beach waves. They go the extra mile, which I appreciate. I'm so happy I found this place. LOVE IT! read more

Allison is the best colorist in the bizz! I always leave feeling so confident in my new looks. She listens to what you're looking for and even offers great advice from her many years of expertise. We are always the last in the salon because even after a long day, she will take her time to perfect her art - A nod to her genuine care for clients and work ethic. Not only is she an amazing colorist, but she is also so personable and a joy to hang with. Allison and Chase for cuts are the best combo. I won't go to anyone else for as long as I am in Chicago! read more

I came here for the first time today after passing by this place all the time since I live nearby. Edit initially got my attention because I'd spot a magnificent English bulldog inside and stand by the window looking longingly at him. When it came to find a new salon, I Googled "best Chicago salons short hair", the results turned up with Edit along with raves for Patrick Lewis, the salon's owner, who's supposed to be the best in the city at cutting short hair. I booked online and eagerly waited three weeks for my appointment. Edit gave me everything I wanted. As soon as I entered, I saw Herb the bulldog and showered him with attention. So much sweetness in that stout package. Then I shook hands with Patrick, sat down, and whipped out my phone to show him pictures of the fashion editor Kate Lanphear, whose undercut I've lusted after for years, but no stylist here could ever quite reach that level of haute punk perfection. In fact, stylists talked me out of getting it (one made the bogus argument that it would cover my eye--my hair does that anyway). Although I expressed doubt over whether I could make it work, Patrick simply said, "Oh yeah, you could totally do that!" After giving the best shampoo ever (seriously, Patrick does an amazing neck massage), Patrick immediately chopped off big chunks of my overgrown bob and got down to business. We talked a ton about Prince (he has a great story involving George Clinton), he showed me a picture of Herb as a puppy, and I knew I finally found my dude. My hair turned out even better than I hoped: edgy but elegant, punky yet refined. It's a cool hat trick--unless I lift up the long parts, you can't tell my hair is almost a buzz. I booked another appointment with Patrick and gave Herb more rubs before I left. This is my new salon. read more

I moved to the neighborhood a couple years ago and finally found a convenient (good) hair salon. Sometimes it's difficult to find a stylist who can cut curly hair well at a reasonable price (~$50) but Edit has a few! There are also plenty of expert (expensive) stylists if you're fancy and stuff. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is trendy. If you're lucky, there will be a bulldog to hang out with while you wait. Don't forget to make an appointment, and grab some carry-out from Opart Thai next door afterwards! read more

Just a caution if you don't have appointment you might not be happy with this place. Make sure to schedule an appointment and arrive 10 minutes before hand. I was scheduled with Mila and had a style in mind before I arrived. Mia suggested that it might not be the best choice according to my face shape and maintenance needs and she was right; she suggested a few different styles and I went with it and I'm extremely pleased with her knowledge of face shapes and hairstyles. love my new haircut read more

I saw Allison a few months back for hair color- balayage! Moving here from CA I found myself having to find a new everything. So I set out and researched to find someone great! Allison is not only so kind, happy, and friendly... but she's also extremely talented! She listens to what you're looking for and will give you any advice if it's needed. No matter if it's a small change or huge difference, she'll listen to all your needs and work with you. Her work is beautiful and one of a kind. She'll steer you in the right direction all while being honest. If you're like me and want to see some pics, you can visit her on the gram @ Allison_colors. I'm so happy I found her and excited to continue having her do some more magic on my hair! read more

There's a great deal of talent within the walls of this salon. Patrick is a veteran stylist who is extremely skilled. And Evan, their new colorist, is an artist. He has an eye, a strong sense of style and at the same time makes you feel heard and completely taken care of. I literally go to him and say: "Just do your thing," and I am always blown away with the final look. Evan is responsible for all the compliments I get about my hair. He does absolutely beautiful work that is natural, dynamic and glowing. read more

I am extremely satisfied with my cut and color from Edit Salon. The environment was welcoming and catering to every customer's needs (water, wine, coffee, and tea was offered and refilled consistently). Color: done by Michelle. I wanted a drastic change from brunette to blonde without the brass-y undertone and Michelle did just that. She managed to find a perfect undertone that blends beautifully with my natural color. I lucked out and got pretty light during my first session, but if I decide to go even lighter - I will go see Michelle DiGiovanni again. Cut: done by Chase. He really took his time perfecting my layers and creating a flattering face framing look. Plus he is a really cool guy so we had a enjoyable conversation during the cut. Chase came over and introduced himself to me prior to the coloring and worked with Michelle to ensure my style would be flawless. Bookings: by LaRae who was very helpful explaining the options, cost, and appointment availability. She was very responsive and welcoming when I arrived for my appointment. Overall: this salon is knowledgeable, professional, and they really take the time to understand their client's needs/desires and work as a team to get the job done. Highly recommend! read more

Edit Salon - Went from brunette to blonde - it blends beautifully with my natural hair color. The undertones are flattering with my skin tone. Perfect. - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Loved my first experience at Edit! They took me on time and I was there for less than 45 min for a cut/blow dry. Tara did an incredible job of knowing what length and layers needed to be cut for my hair style/texture. Aside from being a great cut, the service was just what I've been looking all over the city for. Tara and I had minimal conversation which I LOVE. She's extremely cool and nice, but when I get a haircut I want to be quiet and relaxed. She let me do just that! A+ for quality, service, cleanliness and price! read more

I decided to come here after reading all the great reviews! I thought it was going to be a long shot to get a last minute appointment on either a Friday or Saturday but they called me back right away and set up a perfect time for me on a Friday. I was paired up with Samantha for a haircut. I needed a BIG change from long blah damaged hair to an angled medium to short look. She took a whole 6 inches! And styled it to perfection! Samantha was also super sweet and very informative while she cut my hair. She explained everything to me and always checked in with me to achieve the look I wanted. Also, very affordable. Thank you Samantha! Edit gained another happy client! read more

I am in love/ obsessed with my hair color. Michelle is an expert and very professional. I came in w dull orange toned color and she transformed me into a beautiful brown blonde (if that makes any sense). I can't rave enough about Michelle she was so pleasant and knows what looks good on you. I trust her 100 percent . So excited to strut around with this new hair color ! read more

Edit Salon - Michelle is the best ! Love my color ! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you want to look like you are living your best life, and you actually want to live your best life, get your hair done at Edit Salon! only got love for this place. Their stylists and colorists are top notch. They've cut and colored my hair twice now, and each time has been well worth the money. You get what you pay for applies here. Getting your hair colored anywhere where the stylists know how to not make you not look like a fried-hair extra in an 80s music video is gonna cost. That said, Edit Salon is worth every penny. Hair cut: It's all about Chase. Chase Chase Chase. He is so much fun to work with and knows how to help clients develop a style that works for their face shape, personality, typical hair routine (like if you're a wash and go girl or someone who reg styles your hair). No joke, every morning since he cut my hair, I have this moment where I see my hair in the mirror and squeal a little bit, because of how good it looks. As an FYI, my locks are about 4 inches past my shoulders. So if you want to routinely get stopped on the street to get compliments on your bad ass hair, or if you want to give yourself props for making good choices in life, get your hair cut and colored at Edit. My colorists have been Michelle and Allison, both who have done beautiful dimensional balayage on my very dark Asian hair. The salon is clean, organized, modern, and professional! Do yourself a solid and book yourself an appointment. read more

Katie is the BOMB DIGS. Booked my appt, nervous as all hell to chop off nearly 14 inches of hair. I went from long, straight hair with full bangs to an undercut style pixie. Not only did Katie walk me through different styles available, but she recommended a specific cut based on my face and style that was even more perfect than I could imagine. This is what absolutely stood her apart from other stylists I've gone to in the past. She knows her stuff!! Katie was completely professional during the entire process. She's not one of those hair stylists who talk off your ear, yet she's not a socially awkward mute either. She knew just the right amount of chit chat to engage in. (Side note: Katie is hilarious. All I wanted to do after my cut was to go get a beer and a taco with her and be BFFs til the end!!!) After a glass of wine, some amazing conversation, and a few leg snuggles from the cutest salon dog in town, I left Edit unbelievably impressed and happy. Katie is where it's at y'all. read more

Finding a new salon is like finding a new pair of jeans. It just has to be the "right" fit. It make take a few thousand tries, but once you find a good one, you gain one loyal customer. Edit, was my new pair of jeans I was looking for in the city. Classy, modern, and simplistic describe not only the design but the overall ambiance of this city salon. It's a nice surprise when you add a side of "friendly" and "talented" to a salon that at first glance, might fool you for just another cold, uppity or even ordinary salon that just looks like it has style but it doesn't. From the moment I met Yvette for color and Sasha for my cut, they made me feel super comfortable. They listened to what I wanted and was looking for without making me feel obligated to do this or that. Given that it's a smaller salon, they pay attention to details at Edit! They seem to care about giving you quality service with sophistication that you deserve when you're trying to get some pampering done! Convenient parking and public transportation so go enjoy! read more

I went to Edit Salon today to get my hair fixed because my former hair stylist really botched my hair.

I moved to Chicago last year from Seattle and had been looking for a hair stylist that can handle Asian hair. I used to go to Arukas Salon in Arlington Heights, but my favorite stylist moved abroad and it's too far anyway, hence this trip to Edit. I decided to go with Tara after reading great reviews about her here and NO REGRETS! After sending an appointment request, I got a reply in the next business day and booked a time. At 10AM on a Saturday, the salon was bustling. Tara asked me the style I wanted and explained what she was going to do. She was friendly and approachable. I asked for a slightly longer, plain, soft bob and that's exactly what I got. It's the perfect length and really easy for me to style. The location is perfect, staff are friendly, and Tara is absolutely amazing! Definitely would come back again. read more

I've only written two or three reviews on Yelp, but I've felt compelled to write this one over the past couple of weeks. Tara cut my hair just before Christmas and I loved how carefully she paid attention to the shape of my face and head, the wavy texture of my hair, and my neurotic descriptions of what I wanted. The haircut was beautiful at the time and really made me feel special for the holiday season. BUT...it's gotten EVEN BETTER since then! I think this is the true mark of an expert stylist. Not only did she figure out a good cut that would last me a few days. She also gave me a cut that would grow and change in a way that continues to flatter me weeks later. Seriously, Tara's got what it takes. And she's a sweetheart too! read more

I was nervous to try a new salon, I have not had good experiences in the past and decided to try this salon for the first time and went with Tara. She was amazing- she didn't hype up her skills like a lot of hair stylists and she didn't overdo it with the styling in the end in order to "cover up" any mistakes made. The experience was very straight forward and honest- she explained everything she was doing to my hair as she progressed with the cut and I didn't feel nervous at all because she was knowledgeable. The haircut ended up turning out exactly how I wanted! If you need a precision cutter, you should request Tara! read more

Pat and the team at Edit are AWESOME. I have been going to Pat for my cuts for almost a year now. I originally stopped in as the salon is in my neighborhood and I was looking for my wedding stylist. Pat recommended me to have my wedding "up-do" done with Bridget and Amy was available to do my makeup. First I should say that all my regular cuts with Pat are flawless. They grow out so wonderfully, I don't have to go in too often. As for the wedding experience - it was perfect. Bridget did an awesome job with my hair and they even gave me some extra hairspray to take with me since it was raining cats & dogs out all day. I didn't even have to use it as my hair did not move ALL DAY (and that is a good thing - because it looked and felt GREAT and I was moving around a LOT - i love to dance!). Pat took care of my mom's hair, Bridget also did my sister's up-do and Sasha handled my two 6-year-old nieces. Everyone's hair looked great all day and we were so happy with the service at Edit. Amy also did a great job on my makeup. It was flawless all day and I even have bought some of the products she used on me to use on my own. Love her! Thanks to the team at Edit for your contribution to helping me have the wedding of my dreams! read more

I visited recently for a sorely needed haircut (seriously, my hair hadn't been cut in a long time - I'm embarrassed to say how long). I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted aside from my rules (no bangs, pony tail needs to be an option). Patrick took a look and had a plan. My hair ended up sleek, tailored and looking great (if I could only figure out how to make it look so good every day!). The salon is still being finished in terms of decor, but it's a very welcoming space. It has clean lines and a nice warm feel. The space is nice and open and has a good vibe. One particularly nice touch..a beverage of your choice when you sit down. They also have the cutest dog ever (Herbie) as the salon 'mascot'. I enjoyed my visit and was in good hands for my cut. I would definitely visit again. Edit Salon is a welcome addition to this stretch of Chicago Ave. read more

Great cut, wonderful people. Patrick gave me a cut so fantastic that it grew out and still looked great. I went back and this is now my favorite place. Love talking to him about music and rockumentaries. My next venture there is to have my color done next week. The salon is cool and edgy. They are careful with mask wearing and hand gel. There is plenty of space between chairs. Extra plus - easy parking outside along the street. Grateful to have met Patrick - he is excellent and a nice guy! read more

Poor Experience. Can not rely on them for a timely service. Even though I had reserved a month in advance for a balayage treatment, I was declined service on-site as the salon had double booked! They only realized this after I showed them proof of my email confirmation, when I had gone in-person. I had wasted an hour in drive time for nothing. At the very least, they could have accommodated me on the same day. They should have called or emailed to inform if they had to cancel! read more

Have medium brown, medium-long hair with ash undertones. I came in for a balayage that would take me to a medium ash blonde. I got brassy caramel hair. I pointed this out to the colorist, who insisted that my hair looked exactly like the pictures I brought in. I don't appreciate being made to feel ridiculous after dropping $300 on this service. Went elsewhere for a color correction, and eventually took the issue into my own hands and had to fix it at home. This salon was a very expensive waste of time. read more

I have had terrible luck with hair stylists in my life. I have curly - wavy - curly hair and I have never gotten a professional haircut I liked - ever. The only haircut I liked before the one I got at Edit was done by one of my besties after we'd had a couple glasses of wine. If anything that speaks to her skills, haha. Anyhoo, right before my 36th birthday this year, I decided to treat myself. The last person who cut my hair had been my husband, and despite what I told him, that did not turn out well. I did some research on curly hair and found Edit salon. I called for an appointment and got one same day, a Friday no less. I went in with low expectations but figured it had to be better than the butcher job my husband gave me. Lenee was the hair stylist who took care of me and I won't lie, at first I was hesitant, curly hair almost never looks good after a cut until you style it yourself at home. Unfortunately, I don't think I made Lenee feel confident that she had given me what I wanted at the time, so now here I am to shout from the rooftops of Yelp....Thank you Lenee for giving me the best haircut I think I've had ever!!! If you'll take me back, I would love for you to be my go to gal for dope haircuts. And all you curly-wavy-curly gals out there, Lenee is the one! read more

I was forced to find a salon just as covid restrictions were lifting. I was very nervous, as my previous person had given me the hair I always wanted.

Everyone is extremely friendly. read more
