I have been a client of Joanne Morrison for more than 10 years now! She is an artist. I love to change my hair style, color(s), and length! Joanne accommodates and encourages my hair journey. I feel and look amazing every time I leave her chair. I have learned hair tips of all kinds - from how to keep extensions looking great - to what types of hair products to use and how to use them - to drying and styling techniques. What good is an incredible cut, color and style unless you can replicate that "salon day" feeling at home!? We have become friends over the years - she is a true gem of a person. Highly recommend. Gro Salon is an inviting and friendly place of business. I always feel welcome -- it's always cool and never uppity! I drive in from the west burbs - it is worth every minute (and if you know Chicago traffic - that can vary greatly!). It's right off the highway. I always find a free, close parking spot which is a great bonus. Lots to do in the area if you want to make your visit even more cool! Thanks Joanne for years of service and the fun I have had with every new look!! read more

Drunk stylist, should not be allowed to use sharp instruments. Very scary and disappointing. I had to go to another salon to have my hair fixed. Won't go back. read more

I have been hesitant to write a review of this salon, because I truly believe the people there are kind and are doing their best. I had my first appointment in late December and I was very excited to get my hair done there. My first impression was that the salon is dirty and dusty, there is even an old elliptical machine in the corner. My appointment started with getting my hair colored. I have some gray hair, but the stylist recommended a semi-permanent color. She said this would last, obviously it did not (hence the term semi-permanent). Then I went to get my hair cut, I thought I clearly stated what I wanted, and I left with face framing layers which looked like they were made for Jen Aniston circa 1990. I was disappointed and I will not be returning. I am VERY surprised that this salon has the good reviews that it does. The salon owner even called me, while I was in the chair mind you, to see if I'd be coming in for my appointment. ‍ read more

The best hair salon in Chicago by far. I come from Los Angeles to get my hair done here. From cut to color and everything in between you can't go wrong here. read more

A drunk person just left me a message canceling my appointment 25 minutes before my scheduled time. And I quote, "I'm canceling your appointment cause we're not doing this." Like, HUH? I'm not sure what's going on there but don't waste your time at this HUGELY unprofessional salon! read more

I live in Texas and have gone to this hair salon for over 25 years. The level of expertise surpasses all other hair professionals. I get a haircut from Dennis Lafferty that holds it shape tor a full 12 weeks. He is the best in this industry: he is brilliant! My color specialist Is Karen. She keeps my blonde bright and does not give me that black and white hue. My hair stays healthy and vibrant for at least 10-12 weeks! I will never leave these two ! I cannot say enough about Gro hair salon! The staff is very friendly and professional and the owner Gro is cutting edge above the rest! read more

Great salon with experienced skilled stylists . Check out Mark he is a genius with the scissors . And has great eye for color .

After my last stylist moved, I struggled to find a stylist. I got some pretty awful hair cuts looking. Finally, a friend with great hair, told me about her stylist, Dennis at Gro. Dennis always looks carefully at my hair before wetting it, then asks me what I liked and didn't about the last cut. I like that since he usually solves any "problem" I might have had with the cut (my hair is mostly straight with random waves on one side of my head). The cuts grow out well and never need product. He's given me a number of different styles. I pretty much let him do what he wants within a length range. My hair always looks good enough that I get random compliments from people I know and people I don't. What's not to love? read more

I've been going to Gro Salon for around 15 years. Dennis is my stylist. His cuts are, without fail, amazing. He particularly excels in complex, layered cuts. Gro and Karen, who do cuts and color are excellent. They were all trained at Sassoon, one of the best and most innovative training salons in the world. After going to all the name Chicago salons on & around Oak St. I was consistently disappointed. I decided to only go to people who had been trained there. I am always happy with Dennis, and rely on his creativity. Carol S./Chicago read more

Gro Salon is the best hair salon in Chicago and I've been to a lot of them!! Dennis is not only an excellent hair cutter but has a wonderful design and fashion sense that you don't always get with other stylists. Dennis never rushes with your hair so you always feel that he cares and is doing his best for you. He has a passion for what he does and it shows!!! I highly recommend Dennis! read more

NO JOKE, THIS ONE IS REALLY BAD!!!! I bought a Groupon for any hair service at Gro. I have never been disappointed at other salon Groupons, and this had more good reviews than bad, so I figured this would work out, and hopefully get a permanent colorist out of this. Boy, was I wrong in all levels!!! 1. When they called the day before to supposedly confirm my appointment, they asked me to come in an hour earlier b/c they double booked. I agreed, and went to my appointment an hour earlier. (It would have been nice to have been called earlier, instead of the night before) 2. I had to wait an HOUR until the receptionist sat me. 3. After seating me, the receptionist told me I have to wait another 30 minutes until I could be seen by a stylist. So I waited (only because they didn't have any other availability for another 2 weeks) 4. My colorist kept talking to me about salon gossip, including a stylist at Gro who is an alcoholic, and who gets drunk while styling people's hair. (Call me crazy, but isn't that unprofessional??) 5. My shampoo lady told me that she doesn't know how to style, so she can't style my hair after blow drying. (How do you not know how to style hair if you work at a salon??) She then asks me what products would be good for my hair that they offer at the salon. I didn't know that answer b/c I've never used their products before, and also b/c I'M NOT THE STYLIST. So then she guesses (I know she was guessing b/c she had a puzzled look at all of the products, and said, "ehh, this looks like it will work" at the products she choose for me). 6. My hair looks a lot lighter at the top, than at the bottom, but my colorist told me that it will look lighter once I'm outside in the sun and my hair completely dries. So, I didn't make a big fuss about it. 7. I had to wait AGAIN 20 minutes for the receptionist to come back to her desk, so I can pay, even though she saw me walk to the front desk 8. I wake up the next day, and my hair has THREE DIFFERENT TONES (blonde at the top, ash brown in the middle, pitch black at the bottom). The bottom is darker than it was before I got it dyed. I called days later complaining about my experience, and the receptionist hung up on me TWICE. I finally got a hold of the owner (who was apparently my colorist...the gossip queen who gave me 3 tones) and she got upset with me because I couldn't go to the salon that day to fix it (sorry I have a full-time job). She then continues to argue with me about my complaints, then tells me, "We're busy this week, so do you want me to fix your hair today or not? Because if not, then I really don't have time for this". I told her No, b/c I'm working, so then she hangs up on me Needless to say, nothing got resolved, and I am still 3-toned hair girl. I wish I never got that Groupon... *****She also told me that my blow dry experience was "complementary" b/c they usually charge people extra to get a blow dry and style if you're only coloring your hair. That was not mentioned at all the day I got my hair done...I don't know a single salon in Chicago that charges extra to get a blow dry after they color it. So, if you're cool with leaving the salon with wet hair, then this is the place for you!******** read more

I guess everyone has to have the "worst haircut of my life" experience once. I went here because I got a promo deal for a cut with one of the male hairstylists. First, he insisted on dry-cutting my hair even when I said it made me very uncomfortable, as I'd had bad experiences. After 10 min, he had cut off 1/2 in and asked if that was good. He was kind of rude about it when I asked if he could get rid of some of the bulk. He then proceeded to thin my hair wildly with dull scissors, causing more split ends, and not stopping when I mentioned how terrified I was. He washed my hair (in cold water) and then BRUSHED it while wet, and finally towel dried it roughly. Oh, then he blow dried it carelessly, often pointing the nozzle up and creating more frizz. I give him props for flat-ironing it, but as he was drying it, he suggested that I should have cut off more length. Um, maybe that should have been mentioned earlier. No touchups of the cut post-wash or dry, and I ended up with a frizzy, split-ended, mulletesque style. My beautiful hair is all gone! read more

Dennis Lafferty is my hair god. I have been coming to Gro since I moved to Chicago in June of 2006 and I will never ever in a million years try another stylist as long as I live in Chicago. Whenever I sit in his chair for my consultation we will talk about some options first, but I will usually just tell him to do whatever he wants to do because he is my hair god after all. I love how I can wash my hair, dry it (or not), and go. No fuss needed for this low maintenance girl. I also love how his styles will morph into something completely different as your haircut grows out. He isn't cheap, that's for sure, but get a cut about once every 4 months, and for me to have great hair without doing a thing is worth every penny! Oh.. before I forget.... Gro accepts credit cards, but tips are cash only! ;-) read more

My friend at work recommended that I try this salon. (I live in the city and was previously driving out the suburbs to get my hair done). I am VERY PICKY about my hair and freak out every time. After going for the first time, I will be a returning customer. Nicole cut my hair and gave me a slight bang. The front desk staff and all the stylists are friendly. The salon has a cool atmosphere without the attitude. I liked that my stylist took her time using her thinning shears and told me not to use razor scissors anymore. I can tell she really knows her stuff. I highly recommend it and don't find it too expensive given that I used to pay way more at Mario Tricoci and my stylist in the burbs. read more

Dennis has been cutting my hair for sometime now. Expect him as well as the other professionals who work at the salon to provide a great service as well as a unique, friendly experience. From the shampoo bowl to the check out you are treated like family. read more

I cut my own hair, and I do a pretty good job, but I wanted to pick up some new pointers and get a fresh take without paying anything, so I found a listing for hair models. After finishing cosmetology school, beauticians have apprenticeships where they cement their skills. My stylist Tammy went to the Aveda Institute and was working on an apprenticeship at Gro. Every Tuesday she does a Free Cut Day to build a clientele. It was a great experience, man. Gro was laid back, uber chill, didn't give me any attitude when I arrived a few minutes late, sat me right down and got started. They don't make their staff wear uniforms, so emps get to make their own fashion statement. Tammy was warm,adept at making conversation, and did a good job. It makes me want to go back and pay her to cut my hair as a real client. Maybe one day when I'm rich. read more

Ok, let's get to the punch. Do not go here if you are a micro-managing control freak about your hair. My philosophy when it comes to hair is, go to the experts and let them do their job. The stylists here are hyper-creative and shine when allowed to express their technical abilities. Gro and Dennis are both adept at looking at a client's face, feeling the hair's texture, how it falls, etc and recommending the best cut for you and your style. Dennis is really great at giving those classic Vidal Sassoon inspired cuts (5 point cut anyone?) He even has a plate on the wall signed with a congrats note from master Vidal himself!!! Dennis is also loads of personality and will be very honest about what works and doesn't. Highly recommend. More recently, Gro has been cutting my hair after she mentioned in passing, "you should get something a bit crazy." I took her advice, and she took my hair in her hands, giving me that perfect blend of edgy but attractive/cute. She knows not to go too far just for the sake of something trendy. I look forward to my Gro cuts, since they complement my face and my vibe. She knows how to communicate via hair, making the details count. She also has stories galore -- including her experience at the very first gay pride parade in Chicago!! Amazing. Done. read more

Started going to Gro on a whim as it was close to my living space. Nearly five years later, and I haven't strayed once. Me loves. But why? First, I can always get an appointment. I'm not one to plan out weeks in advance, so I love that I can call 5-10 days before my appointment and always get in. Next, my stylist, Nikki. She's fab. She respects the hair and looks out for its long term sustainability. Silly as it may sounds, so many stylists will favor frying the shizz out of your hair for a quick, trendy do. Nikki listens then provides a solution for what I want and what will be best for my hair. Finally, I love that they don't shove products down your throat. That's why I stopped going to my last place; I felt like I got this strong sell every time I was in, which just made me dread the experience. Instead at Gro, they'll tell you what they're using, make product suggestions and recommendations and let you choose. No guilt. read more

Shayna is leaving. Seems like all my flipping hair colorist run with the wind and off to California somewhere. Thank goodness I'm not blonde and too high maintenance now... So Giselle will be my next stylist. Rockin woman. For sheez. read more

Shayna is the most knowledgeable, accommodating, highly skilled colorist I've ever had work on my hair. Over the past year, we've gone through a wide spanning spectrum of color, and there have been nothing but spectacular results every step of the way. She's very laid back while taking direction competently as well as exhibiting a willingness to discuss additional options and providing honest feedback. I wouldn't trust ANYONE else with my haircolor - Shayna's impeccable transformations are worth every penny and more! read more

Gro is set in Bucktown, which is a bit of a hike from Lincoln Park/Lake View, which is where I live. However, Juan has been cutting my hair since before I moved to Chicago from Michigan, and he does such a nice job that I don't usually mind going out there every few months or so. The salon is pretty expensive at $50 a cut plus tip, but coloring seems to be more reasonable. The salon itself is very friendly -- the receptionist always greets me promptly and alerts Juan that I'm there. The set up of the surrounding is very modern, but not too in-your-face trendy; the music isn't too loud or too crazy, so it's still a relaxing experience. read more

Gro Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Gro Salon is awesome! Dennis always manages to transform my overgrown mop into a masterpiece. Not only will you get the best haircut of your life, but you'll hear the funniest/craziest stories of the lives of everyone who works at the salon. Dennis' stories are exceptionally great. Gro, the salon owner is an great and interesting lady! Great location and amazing staff. I highly recommend going to Gro for you next haircut! There's nothing better than getting a great new do and having fun while you're getting it done :) read more

This place is excellent. I started going to Gro because I needed a new stylist and their newest was giving away free haircuts. My haircut was always wonderful, and the stylists at Gro really worked with me to create something to fit my personality and facial features. Now my stylist has moved to LA, but I still go to Gro, because everyone there does a great job, and they really do treat customers like family. When I first moved to Chicago, I went to Art and Science. My haircut cost about the same, but the experience and the cut was nothing close to what I get from Gro. So, if you like getting a great cut with people who are friendly without any of the insincere gabbing you endure at other salons, I would definitely recommend Gro. read more

I found this place to be waaay overpriced for an ordinary haircut. Maybe if the stylist had done something unique to my hair it would've been worth the astronomical price. read more

I REALLY needed a haircut and did not want to spend a LOT so when the Gro groupon came out, I bought it right away. I arrived just in time for my appointment and met Gro- the salon owner. Since it was for services worth $90, I figured I might as well get the most expensive cut (thinking it will be best). When I told Gro I wanted a cut with center part, she looks at me and tells me that I will need surgery to get a center part!!!!! Truthfully, I didn't take her seriously and told her that I didn't think so since I'd had a center parting most of my life! HA! Anywho, she was generally chatty and even funny and I didn't mind her at all. She seemed to like my hair and gave me a nice cut (with a center part). The only thing I DID NOT appreciate is her attitude towards using a groupon. She reminded me constantly that I was getting a good cut cheap and therefore should be feeling lucky?!?!? I mean, why did you have a groupon then?! Further, she wasn't too interested in blow drying or fixing my hair post cut because "she didn't have time". I told her I wanted my hair straighter towards the back - she straightens a little and then tells me she has no time. I was like, is this your $80 service?! I mean, I felt glad I was getting such service cheap because it wasn't worth $80! I had to ask her to put serum in my hair because she forgot to do it. While I LIKED the cut she gave me and would've returned, I don't think I will because it was not worth it. I wish I had chosen a different stylist only for better customer service - Gro is great but being the owner, seemed a little pompous. Reading other reviews about Groupon, I don't think this salon should've come out with a groupon. Iif it was meant for new clients only, why treat them badly so they never return? BAD business management, Gro!! read more

If you want your hair colored perfectly, go to Alison at Gro. Seriously. I never find beauty industry pros that I stick with because so many of them just make little to no impression on me -- either that or they make a bad impression because they're not terribly skilled at what they do or try to force some style on you that isn't what you wanted. But Alison is an artist. She understands layering, framing, highlighting, lowlighting, texture, and depth. It's pretty phenomenal the way she can make me look so good with hair dye. I trust her completely -- so much that when I go in, I usually just say, "Do something awesome." I have never gotten my hair cut at Gro, but every person I see coming in or out of the place looks great and very "a la mode." And "a la mode" means basically "of the fashion." People don't have ice cream on their head at Gro. But if Alison told me that Pecan Praline with jimmies was the best color for spring or that ice cream is a great glossy finish, I would totally believe her. read more

I found Gro Salon on Yelp about 18 months ago. After a good 6-7 years cutting my own hair after a traumatic haircut incident as a teenager, I was nervous. I called and asked for the first available appointment, as luck would have it, I got Karen. I have baby fine yet curly hair, therefore it is a bit of a challenge to cut well so as to reinforce the curl pattern. When I arrived at Gro for my appointment, I knew immediately that Karen would be the boss. She has curly hair too!!! She did an amazing job, my hair has never looked better. Shortly after my haircut, I went to a family reunion and my cousins wouldn't shut up about how amazing my hair looked. Thanks Karen! I had to knock it down one star because I sometimes feel as if the administrative staff (receptionist, etc) are somewhat unprofessional, and are not attentive to clients. If you have curly hair and are not satisfied with your cut, suffering from triangle hair syndrome, or other similar conditions, I highly recommend Karen. read more

I left Chicago 3 years ago, and haven't had a good haircut since. I love Michael. Sometimes I dream about flying back just for a haircut from him. He had a great sense of current styles, of what looked good on me, and was super friendly. I was less than impressed with the colorist I had, who didn't really listen to me and wasn't so imaginative, so that's why I can't give 5 stars. But that was 3 years ago, so maybe she's moved on. All in all, go for a haircut from Michael, you won't regret it! Don't forget, cash only tipping. read more

The first few times I went there, it was my fave place to go. But, their service seems to be declining and most of the good hairdressers have left. Nevertheless I got my haircut from some woman who I thought knew what she as doing. Because It was my 21st birthday, she offered to style my hair with a bit of "movement", So thinking to myself, oh she's going to add waves to my hair. Big mistake. She gave me some kind of 70s hair style with tight curls. I then said I changed my mind, please straighten it, and she didn't like that one bit. She was like oh you should've told me that sooner and just rough dried my hair so my head looked more like a light bulb flicks at the bottom. She then said, hey, its the cut that matters. That's why I gave two stars instead of one. Going to try elsewhere... read more

Gro makes me feel young, stylish and pretty. You know the icky feeling you have about yourself when your hair is unfashionable? I always feel a million times better after having a cut from Gro, the owner. I kick myself for waiting so long between cuts. Gro is a creative stylist who can take my mushroom shaped head of hair and effortlessly shape it into something ultra hip. I'm always amazed at how quickly she works. Snip, snip, a blow dry and I'm done. What I love the best about Gro is that she makes me laugh. She has a dry sense of humor - maybe some Groupon clients didn't get it? The staff is friendly, with lots of cool characters. The salon is clean and the design is sophisticated. And they never pressure me to buy salon products (my biggest pet peeve). I highly recommend this salon if you are tired of your old boring 'do. Gro, YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST! read more

Is an $84 dollar haircut really better? Thankfully, I have a Groupon to find out... Turns out, an $84 haircut IS not really better. I'm not sure if it was because I had the Groupon, or if this is their normal service. But either way, I will not be returning. I walked in and they were friendly and offered me a drink (while they were checking me in, so 2 people were talking at the same time and neither's information got across...) I was shampooed and conditioned, and sat while Gro (the owner) finished up her last "client". This took about 10 minutes..sure, fine, but my hair is drying as their talking. Then Gro comes to me, asks me what I would like, then proceeds to suggest the opposite. Warning bells start going off...but can't go back now..lol. Long story short, Gro is ridiculously ADD, anything shiny walked by, she stopped and looked. A puppy walked by and she actually ran to the window! She kept going back to her "client" and tried to get me to join their conversation (about people I knew nothing about...plus, I don't want to know other people's personal lives...ESPECIALLY when I'm paying you to cut my hair!). She kept cutting...cutting...cutting...she chopped about 4 inches off when I wanted a trim...she did straighten and style it, but by then I was over it and just wanted to get out before she cut more! Basically, I will not be returning. Thank god for the Groupon because I would've cried if I'd paid $84 for this! By the way, the "client" was one of her receptionists...so if you want good service at Gro, work for her! read more

It is hard to believe that I have been a client at Gro Salon since 1999 and this is my first yelp! Never the less, here I go. Over the years, I have probably had my hair styled by as many as six of the stylists at gro and colored once by a colorist (my midlife crisis point around 2004). The coloring was perfect thanks to Allison and I would say nearly every one of my cuts turned out as good or better than I expected and if I got nuts and asked for a style that just wasn't me or wouldn't work with my hair, they let me know it. I am a young professional (or at least i was when i first started coming here) working in a conservative work place, yet gro salon stylists have always been creative enough to give me a versatile style that allowed me to be polished at work and myself after work. Now before I wrote this yelp, I took a look at all the other yelps. Lots of great yelps! And some not so great yelps (mostly from the great groupon fiasco). Sorry Gro, but reading some of those groupon yelps made me laugh till my cheeks hurt. I have been a client long enough that I have experienced it all, but I keep coming back. Why? The people, the location, the interior design (all done by gro herself, an accomplished artist) the music (fix the radio already), the great service, and of course Mr. "Duke" Lafferty or Dennis - my current hair architect trained by V.S. himself. Anyone I have recommended Gro Salon to has not been disappointed. I simply recommend that they not schedule an appointment on groupon day. read more

This is the very best salon in the city... no match for Oak Street, Michigan Avenue or the Gold Coast. We are so very particular about who cares for our hair. We are attached, trusting and want to keep him or her forever. So how do we find that special stylist. One way is to ask our friends whose "heads" we envy and want to look just like them. Or better yet... once in a while we see someone at a restaurant, at an event and ask: " Oh... I really like your cut and color.. so where do you go..somewhere in the city?? That is what happened to me and the answer from the woman in the Yoga Class was " I get my hair cut and colored and love it at Gro (it is a Norwegian name and pronounced "grew").. the salon is her namesake and is in Bucktown. So what makes her work so special? Gro was taught by the best.--. Mr. Vidal Sassoon himself. She worked in his salons throughout the United States and trained new stylists. What else do I like about Gro. This is someone who really cares how you look and feel before you leave. She listens and wants to hear your opinion. She is current and really knows how to cut, style and color. So.. I recommend you giving Gro an opportunity to work her magic on you. My hair has never looked as great as it has in years. She is always on time and you never need to wait. You are always offered a drink of bottled water, coffee,tea and whatever soda is available.. no charge. The salon has a great urban/modern and comfortable feel to it with artwork and photographs displayed. Very comfortable setting. So.. why wait any longer???? Call Gro Salon and trust me.. you will thank me over and over again. Eleanor W. read more

I came for the a special I got for checking in, but was not at all disappointed. I had a highlight done by Brittany, she was great with understanding what I wanted and executing. I have been slowly going more and more white/blue/grey with my not naturally blonde hair and she knew exactly what I was going for. An averagely clean/trendy ish salon setting, noting to call home about. The other stylists seemed friendly and on their game as well. read more

I've been going to Gro Salon for about 7 years now. Alison is the best! What that woman can do with hair color is pure genius. I've been everything from bright red to super blonde, whatever color I want, Alison makes it and me look fabulous. Also I was just there for a Brazilian Blowout. OH MY GOD where has this been all my life? My hair feels super soft and looks super healthy. And to top it all off, there is no more frizz. Love it!! I know several people who go here to get the hair done and all of them walk out loving their hair and loving the staff at Gro Salon. read more

IIt makes me sad to see all these groupon people rip on Gro. For anyone who knows Gro she is a true character, not a static salon airhead you would find in Lincoln Park or Naperville. Anyone who goes in should understand that there is a quality to a business beyond appearance and good prices, and that is character. You can't go to school to get it or buy it off ebay. There is not an app for it. Gro has this quality in bunches. Her coworkers are also a great group of talented people. Come for a great haircut, stay for the off color politically incorrect opinionated broken english entertainment that is Gro Ferskaug! P.S. Broken english as a second language does not equal being drunk! read more

I LOVE MY STYLIST GISELLE!!!!! I have/had crazy damaged curly hair (3b). Half my hair was curly, the top half was withered from all the straightening I've done to it. I decided to do a keratin treatment on my hair. I had a friend highly recommend Giselle because they had a keratin treatment done on their hair and they loved it. I was very iffy about getting the treatment because I heard mixed reveiws. Well, I can tell you - my hair looks and feels amazing!!! Giselle did such a great job on my hair! She took her time and really and told me what to expect the outcome would be. She also recommended products to use, but she didnt try to sell me anything from the salon. She just told me what products would work on my hair and gave me alot of information I didnt know about my hair, the coloring, split ends, etc.... She didnt pressure me to get anything else done on my hair that I didnt want. After she took her time doing the treatment, my hair came out looking fabulous!!! I can blow dry (yes, not straightening iron needed) my hair in 5 minutes and it will come out silky and straight. The whole process was not as expensive as I thought. She gave it to me for far less than any of the snobby, pretentious downtown salons charge, AND GET THIS, ontop of the cheaper price, I got 20% off (yelp users discount). Basically, it cost what a groupon deal would cost, except it wasnt for the instant Brazilian Keratin Treatment. The salon itself is really nice and all the staff and stylist are friendly. Dennis's stories were hilarious, and I had a great time when I was there. As soon as I walked in, they asked me if I needed anything. Everyone was really friendly and accomadating. FIVE STAR PLACE! I will definetly go back! read more

Just went here for the first time to see my stylist Giselle who thankfully just left a snooty Lincoln park salon with terrible customer service skills to work at GRO! YAY!! Loved the decor and the funky people who worked there! P.S. did i mention Giselle??! She's amazing! Beautiful! AND knows how to cut/style/ and color my thick A%S curly unruly hair!! She's amazing and I'll follow her wherever she goes, which happens to be Gro! Check her out!!! Go to Gro ;) read more

I have been visiting Gro Salon for many years. I always feel taken care of and leave with a fresh stylish hair cut. Gro is a master of her craft, she has been in business for a long time, and knows exactly how to work with every hair type. I was born and raised in Chicago, and I have visited dozens of salons throughout the years. Gro Salon has a cool laid back vibe, unlike a lot of pretentious Chicago Salons. With that said, I highly recommend Gro Salon, this place is truly one of a kind. read more

Went to Gro yesterday for the first time and LOVE my cut! I tried it out on a groupon and so happy to find a new salon. BTW, that last yelper, you ALWAYS pay for blowdry after color if it's a "upscale salon". read more
