First off this salon is super cute and laid out very well with a nice seating area, tucked away shampoo area, and lots of styling stations. The service here is great from check in to a personal consult to the entire service! They even offer coffee, tea, or water for you to enjoy during your haircut. I love how my hair turned out - glossy and styled with lots of volume! Thank you Iris!! If you're in need of a haircut, check this place out! read more

Super friendly staff and cute salon. I got such a cute cut for a reasonable price. Was offered drinks when we arrived early for my cut.

I've been coming to this salon for almost ten years and every visit has been a wonderful experience. Booking is always simple--whether online or by phone--and the entire staff is welcoming and professional. For years, I was devoted to Tori (eight years strong!) until she moved abroad. I was nervous about switching stylists, but Austin has been amazing. I've now seen him twice for partial highlights (and a cut the second time), and he absolutely nailed it both times. He listened carefully, delivered exactly what I asked for, toned my color perfectly, and brought my haircut back to life. Austin is friendly, skilled, and makes the whole experience enjoyable. I can't recommend this salon--or Austin--enough! read more

Anais never disappoints! I love visiting Fringe for my self care needs because of her. She always put my wants at the forefront of our appointments. She always begins with a consultation where she has a conversation about what style/cut/color I am looking for. I appreciate her so much for doing this! Anais is absolutely amazing. read more

Extremely bogus place! I had booked myself a full highlight and blow dry services at 6 pm salon closes at 8 pm. I had confirmed my service a day before for 6pm. I reached the salon at 6:03pm the receptionist said I was late by 3 mins and it takes away from my service. Iris was the stylist assigned to me, she combed through my hair and asked what I wanted, showed her photos and she said she wants to do a test strand and won't do the color unless I was ok with the test strand which would take 45 minutes and after that she won't be able to do my color because they close at 8 pm, doing all this consultation mind you it's already 6:20 no color yet, at this point after 20 mins was taken to the receptionist and the conversation turned pretty quickly and said stylist is not available to do my hair mainly because I showed up late to my appointment----- was literally only three minutes late as o have record of parking that I paid the moment I entered the salon !!!! So thirty minutes spent, parking money spent and the stylist didn't do my hair!!! They didn't offer any other options to me and just said NO one was available to do my hair! I was booked for two hours for color and blow dry and I also mentioned I am ok to skip the blow dry if that would give them enough time to finish my color, 2 hours to which they said NO!!!!! will never ever go here again!!! It was pretty clear that the stylist didn't want to do my Hair!! I will say this, devices places have become more and more ridiculous these days they have no regards towards customer experience or customer service! They can just simply say No after confirming you and putting a $40 hold on your credit card to hold your spot and Not perform the service, nor they have any respect towards the salon owners whose business they hurt by turning customers away! My services would have made the salon a good $225 +\- but clearly the stylist don't care, nor does the receptionist staff! All in all Adios Fringe Salon! read more

Came in to get a bleach and tone - I'm absolutely obsessed with the end result. Lucy is an absolute gem of a human - from making my hair beautiful to making a kick butt cappuccino - this lady knows how to make a gal feel taken care of Additional notes - so many wonderful and aesthetically pleasing products - will be back to try out other services! read more

I've been looking to find "the one" hair stylist for so long and I finally found her at Fringe! I got an online appointment for haircut and to my luck, Tori was the first available one on the day I want. I quickly told her what I needed, showed her just one photo and wow! She delivered it! Whole process was so smooth and to be honest, she gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had! Salon was so clean and everyone was so friendly. They have a great selection of products. Even though I moved suburbs now, I would gladly go back to Fringe every 4 months for my haircut! read more

A year in and STILL my favorite salon near Logan Square. Spa services, nails and great hair all in one place- almost unheard of around here. Love you Fringe! read more

TORI IS AMAZING!! Update!!! She has since taken me back brunette with a balayage for my wedding! SERIOUSLY THE BEST! Original review: She has been doing my hair for 2 years now and just moved to this new beautiful salon from another salon in the Wicker Park area! She is always so friendly and personable and does a consistent and amazing job! Weather it's taking me darker for fall or winter or fully blonde for summer it's always perfect and just what I asked for! Her balayage skills are also on point and some of the best I have ever experienced! read more

I am so excited to have found Fringe Salon!!! I moved back to the area two years ago and have been in search of a salon to call my own since then. I'm pretty sure this is it. Everyone is SO friendly and down to earth and I felt comfortable and pampered during my entire visit. Trent gave me the most gorgeous blonde highlights I may have ever had. I LOVE my hair for the first time in a long time! I HIGHLY recommend this place (and Trent!) read more

Fringe - I - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I originally came to Amy at Fringe because of a recommendation and I am so so disappointed by what happened to me there. I don't like to write negative reviews but I feel I have a responsibility to others in sharing this experience. I have been platinum blonde for years and have had long healthy hair the entire time. I came to Amy with a few inches of regrowth and otherwise even light blonde hair, just wanting a bleach & tone. There are complications when you come in with over an inch of regrowth: the hair may not lift evenly. I understood this and let Amy know that it would be okay if that happened. As she as applying bleach, I noticed she was touching my previous blonde with the bleach, which can completely melt off that hair. She assured me would be safe even if it touched previously bleached hair and I trusted her. After she washed and half blow dried my hair, I saw that was not true. I lost over 6 inches of the top section of my hair and paid around $170 dollars. I reached out to Amy after this and she told me my hair would "bounce back" if I used a repairing product they sold at her salon. I am very upset that this happened to me and will not be returning or recommending Amy to anyone else. We are all people who make mistakes and have room to learn, and I'm sure that with time and practice Amy will get better, but I wish I didn't have to pay the price because she wasn't upfront about her skill with bleaching hair. Good luck to all of you in your hair journies, I am still searching for a stylist that I can trust in Chicago. read more

I went in to Fringe today for an appointment with Iris and wow! Color me impressed. Iris is absolutely amazing. She gave me the most amazing highlights, she was warm, fun and easy to talk to, and absolutely a joy to have as my stylist. 10/10 recommend seeing Iris. My hair has never looked better. Thank you Iris read more

I never post anything on yelp, but I was really down in the dumps this morning about my hair. I recently had extensions put in after contemplating on getting them for many years. Needless to say they did not live up to the expensive price I paid and I was upset. I literally accidentally stumbled upon Fringe and walked in to see if anyone was willing to look at my hair and possibly fix it. Would you know it, my bad day just turned around as Stevie was able to take me and completely transform my hair! She knew exactly what to do to blend my extensions and color, not to mention she did it all on record timing because I only gave her one hour of course to get everything done..... I absolutely hated to have to spend more money to get my hair done, but it was worth it to find a stylist that actually cares. I'm hooked! read more

Irene was so nice and did an amazing job on my mani. She was efficient, didn't skip a step and my regular mani is perfect! Salon is super cute, clean and easy to find. I will be back! read more

Fringe - Mani by Irene on natural nails - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Horrible customer service, was charged $80 for a hair trim. I didn't get my hair wash or was any product used for my hair. I called back for the missed charge, the receptionist said that the manager was going to get back to me but never did. I'm definitely not going back there again. read more

My friend and I got no chip manicures here. The ladies who did our nails were super friendly and sociable. They did a fantastic job on our manicures and there were tons of color options to select from. I love the decor in fringe and the open layout. It overall looks like a fun place to hangout to get your beauty services done. I would definitely come back! read more

Absolutely love this salon. Stephanie B is hair magician, I have never trusted anyone to color my hair before but after going to her for years for haircuts, just started trying out color, and not surprised but LOVE IT! The atmosphere of the salon is open, fun, and everyone is extremely helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Fringe - Color & Women's Haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great place and good service. Dineen did an amazing job and the coffee was great that I was given at the beginning.

New to the area and wasn't in love with the first hair dresser I tried, so I was very thankful to find Fringe! Amy H did a great job with my cut and provided an overall wonderful experience. Even better (if this matters for you) was that she takes late appointments on Thursdays so I didn't have to adjust my routine at all. Salon was clean and inviting. Wish it had Aveda products, but you can't win em all read more

Fringe is the best hair salon in Chicago... Period! Every stylist / colorist I have seen at Fringe had done an absolutely incredible job. They give excellent consultations and I always leave looking even better than my inspiration photos. They use fantastic products that are so gentle on my hair and always have the best recommendations. Thank you Fringe! read more

I came to Fringe because my hairstylist recently moved to this salon so I can only speak from my experience since switching to this salon. Maggie has been doing my hair since 2011 and she's FANTASTIC!!! She listens to what I want even when she knows I'm wrong (like the full bang I seem to insist on about once a year) and has helped me finally find a great natural looking blend to cover my... errr... oldening hair (OKAY I HAVE GRAYS UGHHH). Also check out my photos for an up-do she did for a family wedding. It stayed in place all night, I slept on it, and I went to the beach with it perfectly intact the next day (yes, I looked crazy with that hair at the beach but whatever, I'm fly). Fridge has a great location right on Milwaukee between Division and Damen. It's a HUGE salon and a great place to go and get your nails done, a facial, or other service while you're there. Pro Tip: parking can suck on Milwaukee- try a side street or if the weather isn't too bad take the train. Be warned some of the side street parking is residential, but if you live in the 'hood like I do, your 154 sticker will work in the neighborhoods all around the shops. read more

I am disappointed with my haircut. The overall salon experience was efficient--I appreciate that they were able to get me in for a last minute cut. The cut itself is just bad, I have chunks of layers that do not smoothly blend. It looks like straight lines of hair sitting on top of each other....when I put it in a bun there's just a large chunk that hangs out. Additionally, it's not a great experience to have someone use a broken blow dryer, I can do better at home. I'm sure there's some great stylists given the number of high reviews...would be sure to ask for one of them. read more

So this is my nails a week after getting them done - I was in a hurry so didn't have time to ask for them to be redone but they're completely see through in a color that typically is opaque, they were bleeding into my cuticles and peeled off super quickly (after 5 days when I got no chip and I was not picking at them). The nail tech was nice so I felt bad about leaving a negative review but i don't feel like i spent my money well and would hate for someone else to have the same experience. It also should be noted that it took over an hour for just the no chip mani, so if you do go here I would plan ahead that it will be taking more than an hour. read more

Fringe - Gel Color No-Chip Manicure - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went to Amy Hudson after cutting and bleaching my own hair for five years. She approached the situation with no judgement whatsoever and was actually excited to start with a clean slate. Amy is extremely calm, gentle and doting. She explains what techniques and products she's using every step of the way. She is very conversational but not overly so. Amy really provides an entire experience. For people like me who rarely go to the salon, this was such a treat. Above all else, the cut and color she provided were beyond my expectations. Thank you, Amy for such a wonderful experience! read more

I saw Beth yesterday. I've spent the past few years hating my hair. It's thin and limp and just never looked good. Beth was so bright and friendly and was excited to help me fix it. She took a lot of care and effort. Now every time I look in the mirror I'm smiling because she did such a great job. Also covid related, they did a great job of keeping everyone spaced out. Everyone wore masks. They took everyone's temperature. They seemed very well run, organized, and careful. read more

Super friendly team with a focus on quality & customer service. Highly recommend Tori. Such a great listener, incredibly patient! Completely committed to getting the cut exactly as hoped. Super sweet and genuine to boot! Extra bonus, you'll think you're getting styled by the super cool, Abbi Jacobson or (Abbi Abrams,) from Broad City! Amazing resemblance! Awesome salon, great experience! Go! PS: if you mention this review & Tori there's a sweet $20 discount on your 1st. service. Enjoy! read more

I visited Fringe during a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. I have wanted to go blonde for awhile and I decided on a whim to book with Molly after reading Fringe/Molly's reviews on Yelp. I am so happy with my hair, and with my experience as a whole. Molly was so helpful, and made me feel confident through the whole process. If you're in need of balayage, go to Molly. She's funny, kind and downright TALENTED. Thank you Molly for all of your help. I will be back! read more

I love this place. Lucy figured out my hair and has given it new life. Great area to get lunch or dinner after a cut and style.

I've been seeing Amy for 5+ years and recently followed her to Fringe. She is a fantastic stylist and an amazing, thoughtful person. I have a new baby which has caused some last minute re-arranging of appointments and she is quick to text or message me alternative times, as well as good vibes :) On top of this I always get compliments on my hair! Definitely book your next apt with Amy read more

This is for the nail salon part of the business. I bought a deal for a no chip mani and the 3 times I've been here I've had to come back a 2nd time for them within a week of getting the no chip to fix my nails chipping. I don't think anyone here is trained how to properly apply the OPI no chip nail polish. See photos, that last time I was here the nail polish was peeling off within a day from getting them done. They do fix them free of charge but they always make an excuse as to why the nails chipped or peeled the 1st round. I wouldn't recommend getting a no chip mani here. read more

I absolutely love fringe, and Tori does a great job with my hair. She gave me the confidence to go with a bold color for me, and I just enjoy talking to her while getting my hair done (that doesn't happen ever lol). Also everyone who works in there is fantastic, kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend to anyone! read more

I was excited to get my eye lash tint and lift Its my first experience. I arrived to street parking and parking meter can be a real busy area I just happen to go on a day when it was mid morning and moderate traffic. After Checking in I was seated at a bar where it looks as if they offer a coffee complementary. I was greeted by Danielle she explained the Procedure as she went along she was gentle and delicate with her hands. I did explain that I had never had this procedure before and that I did have somewhat sensitive skin. I have to say the solution they use to lift the lashes smells exactly like perm solution that's used in the beauty salon to make your hair curly, I did not ask her and she did not elaborate although she did say I know it smells perm solution They also use a neutralizer after that to stop the Lashes from curling that had no smell. Within 24 hours I started getting a little redness and it followed to be seasonal allergy like symptoms my eyes were swollen and watery Red irritated and puffy with fluid. I took over-the-counter Benadryl and allergy eyedrops which helped temporarily but was not enough I ended up having to go to the emergency room yesterday and they treated me saying I had a bad chemical reaction. He prescribed a prescription strength Benadryl and a steroid for the swelling. I just want to let anyone know that if they're considering this procedure or any other to be informed. read more

Fringe - Bar waiting area - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I got a Brazilian Blowout done by Mina last week. She was so attentive, kind and funny. The time spent in the chair breezed by. I was nervous to wash my hair because I've gotten a Keratin treatment in the past that didn't turn out the way I wanted. After washing, I let it air dry with just a bit of anti-frizz spray I bought from the salon and I now have my DREAM hair. It lays flat, is super shiny, still has waves to it with very minimal frizz. Before I had to spend at least an hour out of the shower getting my hair to cooperate, now I can just wash and go. Thank you so much, Mina and Fringe. I can't wait to come back! read more

I've been getting my hair cut and dyed by Amy for 4 years now and she rocks. When I first came to her I had been using jet black box dye for around 5 years and wanted to get back to my natural color. We gradually were able to overcome the years of box saturation and at one point I had a balayage treatment that was even close to blonde. She listens and takes the time to talk through your color goals and sets realistic expectations of how long it may take to get to your goal without damaging your hair. Definitely recommend her! Also, Fringe is a full service salon, so you can get your nails done while you process so that's a win too. Only thing to note, parking at the salon can be tough on the weekends since it's a high traffic area, so make sure you leave with time to find street parking. read more

Okay, so this is my first bad review I've ever made, actually this experience is the reason I made a Yelp account. I've been rather conflicted about it, to the point I hesitated making this review for quite some time. This was upwards of 5 months ago. I had the morning off and decided to get a trim. About two months prior, I had completely shaved my head. I've had a pixie for seven years, so it wasn't a huge step. I went into Fringe having never been there. I saw wonderful reviews, and my hair salon was closed that morning, so I gave it a try. Parking was easy at first, but I'll get to that later. Ambiance was gorgeous and open, staff was wonderful. I made an appointment online and it seemed to go well. I told the stylist, (I don't remember her name, even if I did, I wouldn't say it. She was wonderfully sweet, I wasn't sure what went wrong.) that I just needed a trim, a bleach and a dye. Keep in mind I've been bleaching, cutting, dying my hair for years, so it was nothing new. The bleach seemed to stay in my hair FOREVER. To the point it was burning. I understand bleach is a chemical, it burns. But this seemed excessive. I had virgin hair, no longer than 2-3 inches. Now it was time for the dye, maybe an hour later. She used an INSANE amount of dye, way too much for the amount of hair I had. Even with the dye sitting in my hair for AGES, (I was now watching the clock because I was going to be late for work) the dye job came out patchy and no where near the color I asked for. There were blonde patches and the color was pale, when what I asked for was a hot pink. Near tears, almost late for work, I said it was fine and that I needed to leave. She knew it didn't look great, but I didn't want to cause a scene. What really got me was the price of it all. I can't remember the exact amount, but with tip I paid in the ballpark of 150-225 dollars. I was FLOORED. With the small amount of hair I had, I almost threw up at the amount, especially with what I was leaving with. THREE AND A HALF hours later, I was free to go to my car, watery eyes and all. When I got back to my car, there was a huge, orange parking ticket on my windshield. Add fifty more dollars. Because of the insane amount of time this took, I was now looking patchy, down three hundred dollars and late to work. On my way to work, crying and all (yes, over dramatic, I know) I decided to call. I spoke to one lady and asked if I could come in the next day for a touch up. She said yes, and it was with the same sweet stylist. I went back, got my hair touched up and that was that. The stylist apologized profusely and I sat in the chair, trying not to cry thinking about the day before. The cut was wonderful, and the second dye job was better. She still used an insane amount of product and it took much longer than needed, I left with a burning scalp and pink dye staining my skin. Again, I was super conflicted about writing this review, but I simply wanted to get this off my chest. The first image is my first dye job, although it's hard to see the patches, believe me, they're there. And yes, it was a 250 dollars hair-do. The second one is the touch up. Better, but still not worth the hassle, annoyance and the loads of money. read more

This is my love letter to Susan DeChant, the best esthetician that ever did walk the streets of Chicago. And she spends her days at Fringe, so perhaps you should too, friends. I've been seeing Susan for about a year. She is the warmest and most lovely human you'll ever meet, first of all. Second of all, she's a skilled wizard-woman of all things facials and waxing. (and lashes!) My favorite combo is to get a brow shape up and then a Glo facial. I walk out feeling like a million bucks every single time. I've also had a series of peels while having a bit of a face freak out, which solved the problem! She has a whole line up of options to fit your needs and is always flexible if something else better suits you that day (as long as it fits within the time frame!) She's gentle yet effective, I like my facials relaxing but want to be productive about it too -- she gets me. Also, she's never pushing products, but will happily recommend stuff if you like -- very important, I don't like feeling like an hour long sales pitch, and I'm sure most people don't. She's a pro! Perhaps the icing on the cake though is that any time you are resting with a mask on your face, she gives GREAT massages. Hands, feet, shoulders -- it's just bliss, I can't say enough about it. She's just awesome. Fringe itself is super nice and large and full of light and fairly easy to park around being *just* far enough away from the 6 corners. The facial room is near the back and closed off so it's very quiet and relaxing. The front desk gals are ALWAYS very friendly and helpful. I never have a problem making online appointments, which I love. *cash tips only. ATM on site. *online appointments super easy! *tell Susan hi from me! read more

Had to update my review because I had a horrible experience here. There's always a new person at the front desk. I used to get dry cuts and get a discount and now they charge me for the whole thing. I talked to two different people to see if I'm able to get a refund. The manager there doesn't know what to do she's obviously clueless about everything. The other young girl that I mentioned on my last review was a professional. I truly don't blame the receptionists there I blame the people that run that place. Save your money!!! When I used to get a haircut there by a cute African American girl she told me how the owner was getting sued for racism and that's why she was planning on leaving..I think they didn't want to bother with me since I'm Hispanic. I see a lot of white people now that work there. So sad. read more
