messed up my fucking hair... now one side of my hair is 3 times longer than the other. He may be very friendly but he cant cut for shit

One of my friends had recommended this salon and to go to Suzy. She was so wonderful!! Super kind, knowledgeable, outgoing, and so hard working! She did such a great job on my hair. I would definitely recommended Suzy for the amazing work she does!! I only took a star away because of the parking. It is all street parking, and you have to paid for it. Sigh. read more

First Lady Beauty Salon - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Had the worst and most disrespectful experience here. Went here apparently the only guy who cuts hair here is Ashor and he has a mindset of treating other customers like nothing and neither does he respect the customers time. Ashor in the middle of this other customers hair cut gets on a video call with his interior designer or something and sits down in a relaxed manner mid haircut and starts discussing different aspects of the colors of his bathroom to the number bathrooms upstairs downstairs all in detail like legit discussing like this guy is in a meeting and not at work. I was waiting for about 25 minutes already. Which is fine if he was doing his work. This guy leaves the his customer mid hair cut just waiting like his time is not worth anything. I then ask him like bro how long do we have to wait because I was yet to even sit in the barber chair. He's like honestly 30 minutes. Then I snap like you have to respect other people's time or close your shop. This guy gives every excuse then tells me to go somewhere else or mind your own business. It is my business it's my haircut and time man. Sucks when you get disrespected on top of getting your time wasted. This Ashor guy is pathetic. You gotta be humble and respect other people not sit down and have a conference then wonder why your customers are mad. I wouldn't advise coming here unless you want to deal with a bad attitude and waste your time. read more

First Lady Beauty Salon - Now he gets up once I let him know how dismissive he was of his customers. Looking directly at me. - Kids Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I never had known about this place until my mom introduced me this place many many years ago. When my father use to work not far from this haircut salon; my mother would pick him up from his job and he would get a haircut at a rock bottom price of $5.00. These people cut much better hair than those baseball haircut barbers at the suburb charging a ripoff price of $15.00 . Some places even charge $40.00 or more. If you got a job interview or do a conference presentation, go get an old school italian barber and pay those high mighty prices. Otherwise, if you just want to have a decent haircut without the drama price tag, you can look like a million dollars coming from this place. They basically cater their niche territory in the devon and california area. You will discover a diverse group of mid east to eastern ethnicities such as assyrians, indians, pakistanis, jews, russian jews lol, and some asian/hispanics. Even American people live around the area.. So its a rich area with alot of diversity. They welcome anybody in their shop and they are very friendly and hospitable. They are Assyrian arabic. I think. But I know so because they are christian. How do I know? They display a nativity scene on a shelf with a cross so they honor their faith. Anyways, they welcome anyone to their business. My mom also had her hair cut from them as well. And the arabic lady is friendly. She will cut your hair with precision. Only thing I dont like about the area would be the parking. Some days, you will find traffic congestion. For them its good, they have alot of clients walking for a haircut from a busy traffic intersection. And they use to have a shop across the street next to the albanian community center and an arabic falafal restaurant. They moved across the street with a better remodeled salon. When my dad had a stroke and undergo physical therapy, he had a problem shaving his facial area. They do not offer any shaves because its a salon. So my father had gone to Joe Hair salon on Evanston. Joe could shave my dad's facial area with accuracy. You could say Joe's Hair Salon would be categorized as a barber than First Lady. Joe Hair Salon charges higher than First Lady but they specialize much more with men's haircut. I had a haircut #1 which is a crew cut for $12.00 @ Joes Hair Salon but these people at First Lady would charge me only $5.00 and I give them $10.00 with tip. Joes Hair Salon does the same as First Lady but specializes with men's cuts. By the way, Joe is Assyrian arabic as well. I can say both give good haircuts and may compete with the old school italian barber. First lady does haircuts for men, women, and children. read more

Full face threading was $20..cheapest I've ever had, and the best, least painful threading I've ever had. As an additional plus, the lady who did it was super sweet. CASH ONLY. I went to Devon street on a Tuesday around 10am and this place was the only place in vicinity that was open. read more

I like this place. It's $7 for my (men's) haircut. Always very friendly. Good service. Waits aren't usually too long. And they do a nice job. I'm usually getting a scissor trim, and I don't find that going to a place that's more expensive leads to different results so I like coming back here. read more

I walked in sat down and i was with a friend. We both were there to get a haircut; I was just going to get my beard lined up. The woman in the first chair asked me if I needed a haircut and I told her I would wait for the man that was cutting hair, as he had already cut my hair before and I like the way he lines up the beard. Long story short, I have nothing against women barbers and I don't get my haircut by anyone unless I see the way they work. As soon as I responded and I said I was waiting for the guy she became furious and said come tomorrow he will be here tomorrow. I responded in a nice way it's ok I'll go across the street and she said ok bye and turned around and walked away. That shouldn't be a way to treat a customer. I will return next week in hopes that I will receive a better service. I'll keep you guys posted. read more

Found this place on California Ave. almost at the corner of Devon. I needed a cut, blonde highlights and straightening. While the shampoo chair is very uncomfortable, I found Evlyn to be as sweet as pie and she did a great job on my hair. As I was sitting there waiting for my highlights to take, I noticed that about 95% of their customers were elderly and all middle-eastern. Don't let that turn you away. The owner, who did my hair was well versed in the latest styles, coloring and highlighting.I found the owner and her staff to be vriendly, kind and considerate! I have finally found a hair salon for myself that's walking distance, reasonably priced and convenient. I will definitely become a regular client! Thank you Evlyn!we read more

First time I took my son here, the lady rushed through his haircut. I had to go home and fix it. Today I gave her the benefit of a doubt, took my son here the second time. She charged me $10 for his haircut. I agreed to it thinking she'll take her time but she rushed through it again. I came home and found spots that she missed. From back view, it looks fine. From side view it, I can see a lot of long hair sticking out. I had to fix his hair again. This lady is horrible. She rushed through haircuts so she can cut as many people as possible to make money. Even though she charged me double, she still cut my son's hair in 5 mins. read more

I wish I remembered her name but I won't forget that it was here where I had one of my best cheap haircuts. Tried Korean and Mexican barbers somewhere on Lawrence near Pulaski intersection and I felt like I was being punished or was it karma cuz those were the worst haircuts ever. And it was a Ukrainian that got my hairdo at First Lady read more

I am glad that I could find this place to have hair cut. Barbers here are so professional and warm hearted. I think I will definitely come back when I need hair cut. read more

Worst saloon ever. One of the barber named "Aashu" will always over charge you. The cost for haircut is $5 but he charges $10. He Rushes with you so that he can assist many customers. Ever time i went there he spoiled my hair style. He is there just to make money. He can't talk repectfully with customers. He argues saying it's $10 for haircut, if you don't agree he disrespectfully asks you to leave. read more

(Which I had a fade in about 15mins) This place has false advertisement.. Highly recommend not going here.. read more
