    Lucy - she's the best
    Shawn F.

    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!

    Tori took me full blonde today from a brunette balayage!
    Liza J.

    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!

    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!)

    Mani by Irene on natural nails

    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!

    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!

    Up-do by Maggie
    Nikita S.

    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.

    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.

    Jason is a very underrated hair stylist at this salon! I have gotten two haircuts from him, both I…read morewas very satisfied with. The first one was a layered cut with a side fringe. He was very meticulous and took his time to make sure all of the layers were even. He was very friendly during the whole interaction. Recently, I made a drastic change from long hair to a pixie cut. I showed Jason my reference pictures, and he was able to cut it in the way I requested while also making it fit my face shape. Again, he took a lot of time to perfect the shape and texture. I was very impressed with the ending result! I have since gotten many compliments on my new style. Additionally, the salon itself is clean and simple. The other staff I have interacted with were nice and efficient. The receptionist also helps with translations to effectively communicate what you want done. I have always favored Asian hair salons for my hair type, but it is very rare that I come across a stylist as skilled as Jason. If you're into layered cuts, I definitely recommend booking him.

I asked for bangs and layers which I've had done badly too many times. He's super professional and skilled and comparable to stylists at pricier salons.

    I cannot say enough good things about Lira Hair Salon. I came in after a disastrous visit to a…read moreso‑called "blonde specialist" who completely ruined my hair while trying to take me from brunette to blonde. My hair was damaged, uneven, and honestly I was scared to try again. Lira changed everything. She not only helped me achieve the blonde I originally wanted, but she did it in a way that protected my hair and brought it back to life. My color looks beautiful, natural, and exactly how I envisioned it. Even better--my hair is actually growing back and feeling healthy again. Lira is truly a master of her craft. She listens, she cares, and she knows exactly what she's doing. If you're thinking about going blonde or need someone to fix a color gone wrong, she's the one you want in your corner. Absolutely worth every visit.

    First I will start with what was good…read more 1. The dye job ended up beautiful. I came in with pretty unclear instructions and reference photos and both the stylist and the owner were able to figure out what fit my needs. This seems to be a huge strength here. 2. They were able to fit me in last minute. What was bad 1. The total time listed online was 1.45 hours, the service ended up taking 2.45 hours. I have been to many salons and never had my hair take that long, especially when I was getting all over color and a blowout (no haircut). Perhaps this was due to me booking last minute. However, the website booking made it look wide open and I think it is the responsibility of the salon to accurately represent their booking capability. I would not have booked with them had I known what experience was to follow. 2. The salon overall seemed overbooked and people were bouncing around. Three different people worked on my hair. Personally, I really didn't like this set up. I like to build a relationship with my stylist and this hectic atmosphere was not synonymous with that 3. The blowout I had was so uncomfortable. The rollers were tangled up in my hair and I could feel it ripping out as the stylist took them out. I have never have a blowout be so painful. My hair had so many split ends after I looked in the mirror at home. 4. My hair fell the moment I stepped outside. Granted it was a windy day, but my hair doesn't typically fall that fast. I think this may have been due to the stylist rushing at the end. On one hand I'm glad she did because I had been sitting alone for quite some time, but on the other hand I paid for essentially nothing. My old stylist back home (moved cross country) had no problem giving me a blowout that lasted at least a few hours. Even on windy days. 5. At one point the owner took my stylist in the back and seemed to be scolding her. This is never something a new client wants to see. I immediately felt anxious that something had gone wrong with my hair color. It ended up great but tbh experience was awkward and handled strangely in my opinion. 6. Finally. The price came out to $260 for all over color and a blowout. I wouldn't mind this price if it wasn't for the lackluster experience. Hair salons are charging luxury prices without offering luxury experiences. The pricing structure is also strange. They charge $60 extra for toner but I have never had a color job that didn't need toner to look good. It feels strange to not include it all together. The toner charge was added after which was a surprise because toner has always been included in the price. To be clear, the website did ask if I wanted to add toner for $60. I thought that was for someone coming in looking just to tone and not add more color. Perhaps this was my mistake but I found the whole pricing structure strange. A few other things to note: water was offered but never given and they only accept cash/zelle/venmo tips. Overall this salon was not a fit for me. A lot of this is subjective preference but I think it's important that people understand what environment they are paying for when they sign up to spend hundreds. That being said, the color was beautiful and I am grateful for that.

I usually see Emad for my cut, color, and blowout, and he is SO kind and incredibly talented. He's truly the best hairstylist I've ever been to. My blowouts last for days, which is why I always book with him before trips. It saves me from worrying about styling my hair or packing my Dyson. I've also referred several friends, and they are just as obsessed with Emad and the team as I am. Everyone I've encountered at the salon has been so professional and kind.

He is worth the drive. Atmosphere- The salon is very clean, welcoming, comfortable and spacious. Everyone is friendly and you'll always see someone cleaning and helping each other out. Yes they do speak another language but that's because that is their first language and it's easier for them to communicate to each other. It does not bother me at all. Also, they have a great play list lol Parking- It worried me the first time because it's the city but there's free garage parking and on the side of the street as well. I've always been able to park on the side of the street. Price- Fair pricing considering the quality and time spent. I'm usually there 8-9 hours. Hair stylist- Leo is amazing at what he does. He doesn't rush anything. He takes his time, gives you his honest professional advice on what color you want to achieve while keeping the integrity of your hair. I love how Leo styles my hair. It always feels silky smooth and soft. He can cut hair and gave me the cutest angle bob. So don't hesitate to get haircuts from him either. I always get compliments on my hair and recommended him to my co worker and now she goes to him too! Her hair looks amazing and healthy. She is happy with her results and said she will continue to see him. The hair results don't lie! Oh and whatever hair products they use to wash your hair with smells amazing and I keep forgetting to ask what it is!
