So glad I found Kelly! I want to echo another yelper: she listens. I have half-curly/half semi-wavy hair, and it is a burden to find a stylist in Chicago who actually gets that and understands the problems with it. I had been going to the another salon for about 2 years. While that person cut my curly hair so it was even, it was always lifeless, no matter how many times I complained about this to her. My hair was always samey-samey, and dead-looking. I explained this to Kelly and she got it right away and - wow - my hair looks fabulous now. read more

The team at Flip Salon is beyond fantastic and hospitable. I've been going here ever since my hair stylist moved from a different location and I'm always super comfortable and at ease. The salon is clean, they practice social distancing and enforce mask-wearing, all while making sure you walk out feeling fabulous! Everyone is super friendly and makes sure you are taken care of. read more

Stefanie is the very super best. She's technically awesome, uses products that don't destroy hair, reasonably priced, and is the sunshine and brilliance of the hair styling world. She is fun, kind, conscientious, and cares so much. Thank you Stefanie for all your help, over so many years. You are the very super best. read more

I LOVE going to Stefanie at Flip Salon. Not only is she one of the best hairdressers in town when it comes to cold blond highlights, she is also the most positive and inspiring person! I love our chats and my visits always feels like 20 min and not 2 hours. I truly recommend a visit to Stefanie and Flip Salon. Easy to find parking and you can always combine with a Trader Joe´s visit which is just across the street! read more

Kelly just cut my daughter's hair and I think she looks amazing. Ciera brought in a picture and the two of them discussed what length would work for her going off to college. My daughter was happy with the results as well. I also go to Kelly. I love the fact that when I am in for a service, I am her only client and her focus is solely on me, which allows me to leave in a timely manner. In my opinion, she is an excellent colorist and stylist. read more

Kelly At Flip salon is magic with color. She listens and always delivers a great haircut and color that I often get compliments on. Plus the salon is super chill & apts are easy. Love flip !! read more

I've had many beautiful haircuts from Wendy at Flip Salon. Highly recommended. A little background: I have a lot of fine, long, frizzy, wavy hair. I had many bad haircuts in my life, including one (at a salon down the street from Flip) where the Ouidad debulking technique left me with odd 1 inch chunks of hair. Due to my fears, I stopped getting my hair cut for a year or more at a time, causing me to develop split ends/damage. Wendy at Flip looked at the picture I brought in and made my hair look just like it (long, bouncy layers). She listens, asks questions, and takes the time to make sure I feel comfortable with recommendations. I leave without any damage and now know I can trust her advice. She spends a great deal of time (thank goodness) patiently giving me the perfect blowout which lasts for days. I've finally found a hair stylist who helped me love my hair. And for the first time ever, my hair feels so healthy for months! I appreciate her online scheduling system. Pricing is reasonable. I've never felt rushed, and she's always been on time. I hope to be a customer indefinitely. read more

Wow!! The Dream Team of 'Dos (hair-dos, that is!) Kelly, Wendy & Karen (along with Lynn) have finally opened their own place, and it...is....AWESOME!!! First off, the salon is super hip and spacious. I know next to nothin' when it comes to decorating, but I am gonna call it 60s retro (??). Street parking is not a problem at all, and an easy walk from the Addison brown line. But the main thing is that the hair talent here is the BEST in the city...without any of the pretentiousness you pay extra for elsewhere. Go to Flip!!! Your hair will thank you. read more

Flip Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's so stressful changing stylists, but between the price increases, sitting with color on for 55 minutes while she did another full cut and style in front of me, and zero flexibility in scheduling (8 weeks in advance? You're not that good...) I had to find somebody new. I searched local reviews and found Wendy at Flip, and I'm SO glad I did! Wendy is super sweet and easy to talk to, even offered a glass of wine! And most importantly she listened to what I wanted and absolutely nailed the color first time around. I could not be happier! Even my boyfriend noticed and complimented my color. I don't think he has ever done that before... Flip is a cute and comfortable space at a great location, just steps from Addison Brown Line on Lincoln, across from Trader Joe's. Already have my cut and color scheduled for September - thanks so much, Wendy! See you soon! read more

Love this place. Bright and cheery atmosphere. Went to get my first cut and style last Thursday and was welcomed at the door right away after having a horrible commute. But was well worth it. Wendy graciously made me feel welcome, sat me down, asked me what I wanted and after a quick hour flew by, I left feeling relaxed, and beautiful. The true test came after a long night, a bath, and a yoga class the next day, I pulled my hair down out of my pony tail and to my amazement my hair was as bouncy and beautiful as when I left the salon. Thank you Wendy. Looking forward to my next trip to Flip! read more

I can't recommend Steff from Flip Salon enough!! We used to live in London and then Rio de Janeiro and I had my favorite hair dressers in both these places. After moving to Chicago, I went to 5 different salons and had a terrible experience in all of them. My hopes of finding someone who knew how to deal with my frizzy thinning hair were almost gone... until a neighbor suggested I go to Steff, at Flip Salon. I have been going there for the past year and I can say with certainty NO ONE ELSE CAN TOUCH MY HAIR, other than Steff!! read more

This is my favorite hair salon! It's conveniently located right off the Addison brown line (take the narrow exit at the front of the platform, not the main exit), and the space is really cute inside. I love the retro feel and clean lines. They offer you wine while you're getting your hair cut, which is pretty fantastic as well. I followed Wendy here (and would follow her anywhere), and am continually enamored with my haircuts! Her talent shines through not only in the cut immediately after, but weeks as well. I've never had it so well done that it even grows out beautifully! I cut off about eight inches several months ago and still get compliments on my hair. I merely give her an idea of what I want, and she delivers spot on every time. She's also such a doll- really friendly and fun. While I've not gotten my nails done here, I can imagine they would only hire someone top notch. I would without any hesitation recommend Flip to everyone. read more

I've been going to Stephanie at Flip for years and she's the best. Great with cuts, color , keratin, and blow outs. She works fast and She's a perfectionist besides the sweetest gal, so funny I look forward to spending time with her, she's a great stylist. Book her! read more

Thank you Linh for a great experience. I purchased a lash and lift on Groupon and couldn't be happier. She was very professional and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. It takes about an hour to do the lash and lift. I ended up getting my eyebrows and lip waxed as well. Lashes look great! Thank you! read more

Kelly has been coloring my hair for the last few months and has gotten me back to pre-Covid standard! Love the salon!

Ivelisse did an exceptional hair cut. I do not think I have received this many compliments on a hair cut in a long time. I haven't had my color done with her as of yet, but I am scheduled. If her color is anything like this amazing haircut, I will have found another amazing stylist. The salon is very new and clean. Everyone was very nice and courteous. read more

Stylist Stephanie at Flip is a magician! I love my new do! She knows her stuff, is a great listener and truly an artist! Thank you for all you continue to do working with my unruly hair! read more

I've been going to this salon for close to a decade and my stylist, Karen, is the absolute tops! She listens and advises and is so personable. The salon is delightfully clean and decorated and the music is a treat during a long coloring session. Highly recommend! read more

Love all the guys and gals at Flip. Wendy has been cutting and styling my hair since I was about 16 years old when my older sister brought me to her because I was going to a dance. I've never had a cut I didn't like and I am constantly asked who gave me my sweet new look. Love the new location. Right across the street from Trader Joe's on Lincoln. Fun and inviting atmosphere with a great selection of music and treats to munch on if you'd so like. I wouldn't go to anywhere/anyone else for my hair services! read more

I live next door to Flip Salon so out of convenience I stopped in and couldn't be more happy that I did! Wendy took the time to talk to me about color and cut before starting any procedure and she really listened to what I was looking for! The salon is super clean and decorated so cute! Would highly recommend Flip Salon and definitely Wendy! read more

I went in to get highlights and my girl couldn't get close to my roots so there was a hard line in my hair . I went back in a week later to get my roots done and the same thing, and I had to pay read more

I visited Flip after a friend recommended them and then reading the reviews here on Yelp. I'm picky when it comes to salons and it's been over a year since my last haircut...reason being the last time I got a hair cut (at another salon) it was horrible! It basically scared me out of ever wanting to go back to a salon. I strongly considered learning how to cut my own hair. Anyways, it's been a year and my hair has been looking pretty bad with splitends, so I knew it was time to get a cut. I made an appointment at Flip. Ivelisse cut my hair and she was so great! I told her about my past bad experience and why I had been so nervous to go back to a salon. She was super patient with me, listened to what I wanted, and talked me through each step of the way. I know, I know I'm an adult and I shouldn't need to be coddled through the experience of getting my haircut, but I appreciated the reassurance. Safe to say, I'm so happy I went to Flip and to Ivelisse. My hair looks great and healthy again. I know I'll be back for my next trim...I probably won't wait a year this time :) read more

Some of the gals from Village Cutting Room(Karen, Wendy, and Kelly) are on their own at this swanky little spot across from Trader Joe's. It's my new spot to get my doo done. read more

I heart Wendy! Great cuts and color and a great person, to boot! Flip Salon is super cute too, and has easy, free street parking.

My favorite salon ever. I never trust anyone else to do my hair anymore. I go to Wendy all the time and all the other workers there are friendly. All the staff makes it a point to get to know clients as they give them services too. Great place. read more

Ths is a review for Jackie Barron at Flip, an independent contractor. I have curly hair which is really difficult to cut the way I want it, Jackie listened to me, understood what I needed and cut my hair perfectly!!!! She used products that she knew I liked and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. My hair looks and feels wonderful. Can't wait to go back to Jackie for a Color consultation!!! Jackie is very talented and really nice to chat to. read more

Flip Rocks. Finally the A Team is back together again - Kelly, Wendy, Karen, and Lynne. They are a talented bunch and going to the salon is just plain fun. I have been with Karen 15 years now, and would follow her anywhere. Karen listens to you but also tells you what will and will not work with your hair, face shape, etc. Honestly I usually just let Karen do what she wants with my hair and my color. The salon has a very relaxed vibe to it. The new space feels different than most salons - very hip but not trendy, if that makes sense. Not surprising because all of these girls (and I think there's a new guy) have a fabulous sense of their own style. Flip fits in perfectly in that neighborhood that is full of one-of-a-kind restaurants and boutiques. read more

Flip Salon is AWESOME! I have gone to Karen for over 10 years, and she is a genius. I highly recommend her to anyone with curly hair. Karen is the only person I can rely upon to tame this frizzy mess I call hair. She is a gifted stylist & she is funny- I love going to see her. I love that Flip is right across the street from Trader Joe's too. The space is adorable and the service is outstanding! read more

Karen's been cutting my hair for nearly 20 years. I always walk out of there with a great cut and just the color I want. Best of all she remembers what styles & colors I've had before, what I like & what I don't. She is an absolutely great stylist, and going to her salon is fun and laid back - like hanging out with friends. I love the decor in the new space - it gives off a warm relaxed feeling, not like the sterile Euro-factory feel you get in some salons. A fun and friendly salon! read more

Lynn is amazing! She has been cutting my hair for 2 years now and I love her experience and her wonderful personality. She's wonderful for suggesting updates to my cut and color. And she really listens to the things that matter to me about my hair. She's so talented and people compliment me on my cut and color all the time! read more

Wendy is super sweet and always does a great job. She always seems to be able to squeeze me in last-minute, which is awesome. I originally found this place when I was in desperate need of a cut for a special occasion, and had waited till the last minute, as usual. I called several other salons in the area and they were all booked up. Then I tried Flip and Wendy told me she could see me right away! Awesome! I don't need to get my hair cut often, as it is a longer length, just a few trims per year and no special service like coloring or perms. Just a basic wash, cut, blow-dry, and style and I'm a happy camper. Almost any place can do that, but I go here for the great service...I love having a stylist I can actually have a conversation with! read more

I have followed Kelly for years as she always does a professional job. She keeps notes and knows what will look good on me. I love the new place. It has a 50's beauty shop with updated fixtures. It is a relaxing atmosphere and all the stylists make you feel like family. Haircut, color and style will last even as it grows out. I receive many compliments on my short hair while I travel on business. read more

Love Flip! I was in a hair quandary before a BIG party and Wendy saved the day! Even tho i was in a panic- she kept me calm,cool, & collected as she gave me the best blowout ever... Seriously , no one cared about my awesome dress when i finally got to the party because they were loving my hair! Thanks Wendy- you have a new client! read more

After many years with a barber, I was convinced to give them a try. I could not be happier with my cut! The staff is friendly and the place is a nice addition to the neighborhood. They do a great job plus its a nice touch offering beer and wine to the customers. Thanks!! read more

Been going to Lynn for years. The new location is great. Friendly service highly recommended

Wendy started making my hair look good many years ago when I still lived in Chicago and continued to do so when I moved. She even started taking care of my husband and two kids. She is the BEST. Absolutely love the new salon! read more

This Salon is super cool! My husband and I both go and Kelly is amazing! Always smiling, kind, generous and a dam good hairdresser! Book your appointment with Kelly and you won't regret it! read more

I wanted to write a glowing review. Really, I did. So, I called at 11-something to try and get an appointment for this afternoon. No answer. Called back, got the voicemail, on which I left my name, number (twice) and my request for an appointment. This was at 11:15 AM. It's now 6:30, and I have yet to be called back. They lost a good client, along with referrals. read more

Awesome, fun atmosphere !!! Lynn does an amazing job on my hair. We try to change it up a bit with the style and I am never dissapointed, in fact I always get many wonderful compliments !! My husband and children also get their haircut by Lynn. If you want great service, and a bubbly personality, you have come to the right place !!! read more
