    An absolute GEM of a salon! The scheduling process was a delight; I was able to book a last minute appointment on a sunday with no issues. Salon is located in a fantastic area; location is very important to me. Divine service from the moment you enter the salon. I had the honor of having Effie be my stylist. Words can not describe how wonderful she made me feel that day! Apart from being extremely kind, she displayed genuine interest in making sure I was taken care of that day. I love that she took her time to understand what type of look I was going for. I felt completely safe in her hands which has been hard for me in the past with other hair salons. I wholeheartedly appreciate how she took her time with me; other hair salon experiences in the past have made me feel like they were trying to rush me out the door, so to me this meant the world. My hair had alot of dead ends which she cut off perfectly. I love that she added layers to better frame my face as well. Apart from the fabulous haircut, she gave me the best blowout I have ever had! I couldn't stop smiling for hours after I left the salon. I can't thank Effie enough for restoring my confidence and making me love my hair again! The only complaint I have is that she is so far from me since I live in Los Angeles lol. It looks like I'll be having to fly over to Chicago every so often to have my hair done by this angel of a person. If you want to not only LOOK but FEEL amazing, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Effie!

    Go see Effie!! I was looking for a new stylist near me and crossed my fingers hoping for the best. And she delivered! I am obsessed with my hair. Effie was so sweet and patient. She really understood what I was looking for and was able to execute it perfectly. My hair looks better than it ever has. Will absolutely be coming back for her! The salon itself is also beautiful and they're very accommodating with beverages. Overall amazing experience.

    If you are in need of a haircut and want to spend time with a great person, go see Joseph. He is a kind spirit and will give you exactly what you wanted for your hair and more. I'm glad I found him. The talent is real here!

    First timer here, I booked a haircut through Classpass for 27 credits. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the front desk agent and was offered a comfy robe to wear. They had a complementary tea and coffee bar. Bianca was friendly and professional and gave me a lot of product knowledge as well as product suggestions I can purchase for my bleached/damaged ends. I was in and out within 60 minutes. This was a much needed visit for my hair's regrowth. Will def recommend if you have the budget.

    My friend recommended me to try this salon, and I can now say I have found my new salon in Chicago! Sherrie did an excellent job with coloring my hair with balayage. I trusted her, and she colored it very differently than people have in the past. The more I see it after several washes, the more I love it! In regards to haircut, I had Cecilia. She was just as phenomenal. Her patience and keen eye in doing my hair was worth it. Both individuals helped me to understand how to love and treat my curly hair, and I look forward to coming back!

    This was my first experience at Trio. My expectations were fairly high since I'd heard so many good things about it, and I can definitely say it lived up to expectations! The staff is incredibly friendly, efficient, and professional about everything from scheduling to making sure you are happy with your entire experience. They offer complimentary tea, coffee, and water with your service. This was my first haircut by Mio (experienced, award-winning stylist!) was just incredibly lovely and attentive to what I wanted. I went from long hair to an undercut with a short bob and it was literally the best haircut I've ever had in my life. Sharie, who did my partial highlights, was also super sweet and did a fabulous job taking care of me. I would absolutely go back again!

    A few hours after great haircut by Mio at Trio salon.

    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. I also wanted to add, in response to a Yelp review mentioned below, that I've personally never encountered a language barrier with any of the staff. But if you do, tools like Google Translate on your phone can make communication easy. You really can't go wrong with this place!

Beautiful and spacious salon. Welcoming atmosphere and positive vibes.

What disappointed me most was not only the result, but the way my concerns were handled afterward. Instead of taking responsibility for the result and trying to understand why I was unhappy, the stylist repeatedly shifted the conversation toward blaming me. I was made to feel that the problem was somehow related to my language barrier and cultural differences in communication. At one point, the conversation even became about money and what I had paid for -- essentially, "You didn't pay for the whole highlight, right?" -- which felt completely inappropriate and shaming. I have never experienced this level of disrespect or lack of accountability in a beauty salon. I left feeling sad, embarrassed, and unwelcome, when I had simply come in expecting professional service and to be heard as a client. I want to be clear that I don't believe this experience represents the values of the entire salon or its owners. My issue is specifically with this individual stylist and the way he handled a situation when the result did not meet my expectations. I am sharing this so other women, especially those who may have a language or cultural communication difference, know to make sure their concerns are genuinely listened to and treated respectfully. A client should never be made to feel guilty or ashamed for expressing disappointment with a service.
