5-Star Review for Megan at Epoch Studio Salon 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. read more

My go-to and absolute favorite salon. I've been coming here for about 3 years now and not ONCE have I left disappointed. This time around I asked for a Balayage and a haircut. The service here is incredible, all staff make you feel welcomed and comfortable. My stylist Megan is the BEST, since the first time she serviced me, I knew she'd be my stylist forever. She is incredibly attentive and skilled. My hair is perfect!! I love it!!! read more

Since Peter develops relationships with his clients, a haircut by Peter is not just a haircut, but it's a warm and enjoyable experience. He makes it a priority to know me, my lifestyle and evaluates my hair type. As a result, he consistently provides a haircut that is right for me, not necessarily a haircut that is right on trend. The best indicator of a good haircut is how they grow out. Peter's cuts stand the test of time. They grow out well, and each visit he evaluates past haircut growth patterns to optimize the cut and style. Whenever I have asked for something new and different, I'm impressed with Peter's knowledge of trends and his diverse technical capabilities. He gives me thoughtful recommendations for style options and knocks the new look out of the park on the first haircut. During my visit, I always laugh along the way with Peter. When I leave the salon, I feel refreshed, rejuvenated and frequently receive positive haircut comments from both friends and strangers. read more

I couldn't love Epoch more! I've been seeing Carrie for the past 3 years. She listens, gives great recommendations, and my cut/color always turns out perfect. I won't go to anyone else! read more

I was recommended to come here and let me just say it was so worth it! The space was clean, the front desk was welcoming, and the whole experience was the best I've had. Mel did an amazing job and did exactly what I wanted. The cut/style turned out great. I will 100% be going back! read more

I cannot praise Ashley and the Epoch team enough! The front desk was super helpful from the time I called to make my appointment through my entire service. Ashley paid close attention to what I requested and she more than exceeded my expectations. The entire salon is immaculate and has a bright friendly vibe! read more

I've been going to Ari to get my hair cut and colored for the past few years and I cannot say enough positive things about her and Epoch! She always takes the time to understand what I want for my hair and gives me feedback on what she thinks will look best. She gives the best advice on color and is especially patient with my thick and curly hair. Highly recommend her and this studio read more

I have been seeing Emma D. at Epoche for a few years now and let me tell you she is AMAZING! I struggled to find a reliable stylist that actually understood what I wanted for years, until I found Emma. She was recommended to me by a friend, and I've sent 3 - 4 friends to Epoche as well. They've all loved their experiences. I cannot speak highly enough about Emma and Epoche as a whole! read more

I absolutely love Epoch Salon! All the staff is extremely helpful and warming. Epoch feels like a home away from home, with hair perks!!

Was recommended to try Epoch by a friend and it has not disappointed!! I've seen Amy a few times now and she gives me exactly what I'm looking for, truly the best haircut I think I've ever had. Prices are super reasonable, salon is clean and people are super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Looking at my hair makes me want to gag. Came in with it the perfect color, but wanted the front lighter. She made my hair DARKER and no a silly stripe of blonde doesn't help. It looks terrible and a waste of $300. They said it would wash out after two weeks. Nope. It is absolutely ugly! Now I have to go somewhere else and pay another $300 to correct it! read more

I've been going to Megan for over two years!!! Literally wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. Flexible hours too so they can accommodate a lot of different schedules. read more

Had my first haircut with DeAnne Bittner and let me just tell you, I feel like I got my first REAL haircut in years with her!!!! I've been bouncing around to different studios for the past few years and I've finally found my spot! It's wild how good your hair can look after an amazing cut vs a mediocre one. I'm never turning back!!! Scheduling was super easy, Sophie at the front is a gem, and the studio is a really awesome space as well! Look forward to seeing DeAnne again in January!! P.S. She is also very cool and funny!!!! read more

I have been going here for 3 years and have nothing but the best to say about everything! I love this along beyond words. I saw Beth for 2 years and Sara for 1 year but now I see Carrie. They have been hair doctors for me and we're always on the same page, whether I wanted to wear my hair semi-permanently straightened, natural, or flat-ironed. I saw Carrie for the first time on July 13th, 2024 and she has a new client in me! I love my new haircut! I have ALWAYS put the health of my hair first, so I start with repair and protecting, but I also love looking a certain way, which is second to health. I used to hate my natural hair. From the ages of 24 to 34, I flat-ironed it every day. I then spent 2 years not straightening it. In that two years, I learned even more about hair care and I also stopped hating my natural hair but it's okay that I prefer it straight. Now that my hair care is next-level lol, I'm back to wearing it exclusively straight. It only takes 30 minutes and lasts all week; I wash and style in Saturday mornings and leave it be the rest of the week and it lasts. Here's what I do: Hair Care 1. Monthly Clarify: Made by Shital - Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse * To remove build-up 2. Weekly Shampoo: R+Co - On A Cloud * This contains a protein-bonding oil that repairs hair from heat damage 3. Weekly Conditioner: R+Co - Television * This gives that perfect hair look * Leave the conditioner in for 5 minutes and then comb with a wide-tooth comb before rinsing. Do not part the hair. 4. Monthly Masque: R+Co - On A Cloud * This contains a protein-bonding oil that repairs hair from heat damage 5. Weekly Leave-In: R+Co - High Dive * First, scrunch out excess water with a micro-fiber towel and then plop for a few minutes. Weekly Style 1. Heat Protectant for wet hair: R+Co - Hot Spell 2. Dry: Shark - HyperAIR blow-dryer since wet hair is brittle so this is better than air-drying. Use a nozzle and your fingers. 3. Heat Protectant for dry hair: R+Co - Chainmail 4. Straighten: GHD - Platinum+ flat iron 5. Shine Serum: R+Co - Two-Way Mirror Maintenance * Silk pillowcase * Loosely tie hair with silk scrunchie when sleeping or working out * Trim every 4 months: Epoch Studio Salon Chicago - Carrie I appreciate you reading and thank you, Epoch Studio Salon! read more

I was disappointed after going somewhere saying they couldn't lift my hair. I looked for a second opinion and found Megan on instagram. She brought my hair back to life! Megan was also easy to talk to and I enjoyed my hair appointment. The salon is cute and everyone is extremely nice. When you go in next time ask for Megan and you won't be disappointed read more

I'm terrible with hair lingo, so I went to Megan with an arsenal of pictures. She did exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier. You can definitely trust Megan with all of your color needs. Extra points for understanding that I was tired and didn't have the energy to chitchat much. But from what convo we did have, I can see Megan is a sweet person with a lot of care and talent in her work. read more

Love the girls at Epoch! I normally get a partial with foils every 6 weeks and always leave satisfied :)

The first time Beth does your color and extensions, you know without a doubt that no one else will ever touch your hair. I moved to Austin and have tried all the salons with the best reviews. Trying to get in the ballpark of Beth and never came close. Her color skills are unmatched. Finally I decided to board a plane and go back to Chicago to my hair done. My only regret is that I have done this the whole time. When it comes to hair, there is a BIG difference between ..."it looks good" and "It looks and feels amazing." Madaline at the front desk went above and beyond to proactively help me schedule an appointment and plan around aggressive travel plans. The two of them combined are my life long hair dream team. read more

Just had my first color, cut and style with Sam. It was a fantastic experience. She really listened to what I wanted for my color and walked me through all the considerations. In only one appointment she brought my hair back to the color I like after I had a mishap at another salon. If you're a red head or have red in your hair, definitely check her out! read more

As a hair color virgin, I was scared walking into to Epoch Salon. 1. This was a new place for me and 2. I'm a dark dark brunette and have never colored my hair. Low and behold, two hours later I emerged with a new and beautiful hair color/ balyage thanks to Beth and Epoch. So many compliments from everyone thus far! The salon itself is beautiful. Super hip vibe, Uber clean, and great location with lots of parking. As mentioned I visited with Beth, who was a doll! My first time meeting her and she made me feel so comfortable- like we've known each other for years. She's a head stylist, but all of the other stylists looked great and from what I could tell, their work was fantastic as well. Highly recommend! My new go to salon and If you're looking for a new hair home as well, check out Epoch without a doubt. read more

Megan is amazing!!! She is always great with helping me decide what I want to do with my hair and always gets it right.

I've been going to Megan for a few years now and will not let anyone else touch my hair now! She's very knowledgeable but also chill and easy to talk to. She always gets the color perfectly for my balayage and brings my hair back to life. read more

Can't speak on the services, the photos they have look great and I did get a quick response but unlike other options, they charge a fee for a consultation on extensions. Now this would go towards your purchase but if you don't go with them you wasted $50. I opted to try another salon which did free consultations and decided to go with them (Salon Vie Rebelle). read more

After moving from California to Chicago it was a huge challenge to find a stylist that does everything! I needed cut, color, and weft extensions. So many places have stylist that only do one of each. Epoch suggested Carrie who can do it all and it saves me so much trouble. Carrie is amazing! She takes the time to get to know what you want, asks the right questions, and is so talented at making my extensions last. I'm so happy I found Epoch and Carrie. I don't have to go anywhere where for a talented and sweet stylist. read more

Megan did my hair and WOW! First of all, The salon itself will not touch your hair if they believe the service will damage your hair, which is why they asked me to come in for consultation. I really appreciated that approach. I had box dyed my hair 3x and Megan was able to save it. She gave me a beautiful bayalage and obsessed is a understatement. Plus she was soo sweet! I'll defiantly be going back. read more

Nothing makes a snow storm more enjoyable than getting your hair done! I arrived at the salon and was instantly greeted with smiles and kindness! Agoya got started eight with with good conversation and taking my braids out, washing and blowing my hair. She quickly and efficiently braided my hair and then sewed down my Upart wig then added some loose curls! She did an amazing job I absolute love my hair! read more

Megan has done my color for a couple of years now and I love her. Balayage, root touch ups, toners. She does such a great job and I'm always super happy with my hair. She has a great eye for color and where to highlight to really make my (curly!) hair glossy and full of dimension. Plus she's just really nice, down to earth, easy to talk to, and gives the best scalp massage ever! read more

Peter is fantastic with my color and I love my cut. I keep going back to him. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Peter for my haircare needs for over two years and I absolutely adore him. He not only does a fantastic job coloring and cutting my hair, he also takes the time to advise me on styling when I am at home. Peter is never pushy with products and if he suggests a product I usually purchase it because he knows what my hair needs. read more

This is a late review (I visited in May '20) but putting this review so someone finds this useful. I'm an Indian (so ethnic wavy/curly hair) and went here for a haircut. The stylist here are not used to working with ethnic hair. I paid 100$ plus tip for the stylist who literally did nothing much (by her own confession) except probably cut a strand or two. Also the hair cut was uneven when it dried and went to it's original length. Short review - I'm sure the salon and stylist are great but this is not a great place for curly/ethnic hair read more

I went to this salon a couple times for cut and balayage and they are truly excellent!! I had multiple stylists and they were all amazing at creating a seamless balayage on my brassy hair. This work was done by Ari and I will be definitely be a regular! read more

I was super nervous before going in, the very 1st time my sister and I decided to "treat" ourselves to a salon day felt terrifying. I have a hard time trusting others with my hair based on prior history at other salons. The 1st time I went in for a hair cut, I had pretty long hair and wanted to cut most of it off for the summer, but when I got there I chickened out. Megan made me feel at ease and made some suggestions for a cut and balayage...I've never been happier! She is amazing and always does a stellar job. It's so important to be able to feel comfortable in that chair and to know that you're going to be treated like you're just as important as the 100's of client's before you. I always feel this way in Megan's care. She's really amazing. I now no longer dread "salon day", so thank you SO much Megan!! I love my hair and how I feel. Can't really say more than that. Everyone in Epoch Studio Salon is always friendly and they always go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Overall, we love the whole experience! Thank you Megan!! My sister had her hair done by Beth today and she also did an amazing job! She gave my sister exactly what she wanted and was so patient and kind. My sister was nervous about having someone new working on her hair, but Beth instantly put her at ease. My sister knows what she wants and exactly how she wants it lol but she was SO happy and looked beautiful! I could tell she felt it too. Thank you Beth!! read more

I finally found a hair stylist in this city that I trust and it's Evelyn. I emailed to make an appointment for a balayage and cut. This was my first time getting my hair colored so I was a little nervous... but Evelyn put my worries to ease immediately. She greeted me with a warm smile and walked me through the whole process beginning with my balayage inspos and gave me recommendations on color. I was overdue for a hair cut as well. She chopped off a few inches then perfected the cut after the balayage. Conversation was effortless. Evelyn is beyond friendly as well as funny. The whole process took 2.5 hours and the finished look? I'm obsessed. I received an overwhelming number of compliments If you want balayage, Evelyn is your girl. read more

Beth Stock Schindler did a fabulous job on my baylayage in December 2017!! I am super careful when it comes to coloring my hair, so I appreciated the consultation beforehand which was like a deep dive/101 re: my hair, my priorities, and my concerns. After, Beth was able to walk me through two different techniques that she thought I would like based on the pictures I showed her, and we ultimately landed on a technique that would concentrate a lot of the sun-kissed natural-looking color at the ends of my hair and around my face. Her expertise resulted in a final product that was exactly as I envisioned. The salon manages expectations well to ensure every client leaves feeling satisfied. From the time that I walked in to the end of my visit, it was clear to me that Epoch aligns their goals with their clients visions without sacrificing hair health. This type of safeguarding is so important to me and I am so glad I was able to find it at Epoch! Great atmosphere and professional, friendly staff who make you feel right at home. I will definitely be back. Thanks, Beth!!!! read more

It was my first visit at Epoch and it far exceeded my expectations! Emma was absolutely amazing - she made sure every step of the process that I was comfortable and checked in often to make sure that I liked the length/look/color/style. I don't get my hair done often but Emma & Epoch made it such a great experience - gorgeously decorated salon, great chair conversation and I walked out with such a boost of confidence due to Emma's literal magic on my hair! 100% coming back and 1000% would recommend - go see Emma! read more
