Hafid Hair Design - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been going to Hafid for a few years. It's very convenient. I can walk in without an appointment. They usually get me in and out quickly. I do love that they are open on Sundays. It's hard to get an appointment with my regular beautician so I usually use them as my plan b. The prices are reasonable too. read more

Hafid is a great stylist. He is super at getting your hair healthy! He values his clients' time and works quickly, but efficiently! He also takes time to work effectively with each client by asking each client the right questions regarding their hair so they will leave with the beautiful styles they have requested. Great hair shop in a convenient location. read more

Hafid, the owner is absolutely the best! He tries to accommodate your schedule within reason. The salon is clean with light and airy atmosphere. He offers tea and great service! He listens, access, give expert opinion, and will give you what you ask for. He's absolutely respectful and mild mannered. He does take phone calls because he is the owner and always excuses himself for a moment or two. He's been my stylist now for 2 years and I love how healthy and beautifully he's managed my hair. My coworker has been with him for years as well. She's the person who introduced me to him after my stylist moved to Hoffman Estates. And I ridiculously champion his skills and professionalism. Support staff is just as wonderful. Note; Make your appointment please, allowing him more time for consultation, etc. Yes, he accepts walk ins, however, take the time to call and speak with him first. The longest I've ever waited was an hour because I walked in, instead of setting an appointment. Thanks! - Michelle E. read more

I wish I could rate them lower than one star. Hafid is very rude. He enjoys having inappropriate conversations with his clients, making them uncomfortable. Other times, Hafid is shouting Arabic into his phone, RIGHT INTO YOUR EARS. If you look at the top of the curtains and rods, they have dust that is two inches thick! Whenever you go to the restroom, they are always out of soap or paper towels. If you want a drink of water from the cooler, they are out of cups. I drive here and it's a struggle to find parking, so I am looking for a new place with a parking lot and a better experience. You will however get a great shampoo from a guy named Tony. He massages you well and is thorough. I only come for the prices, the shampoo, and the fact that you don't need an appointment. Everything else impacting my experience is subpar. read more

You get what you pay for. $35 cut and blow dry. Friendly staff, ample street parking, conveniently located, tea and coffee. The shop can get busy but they're very accommodating and are conscious of your time. I will be visiting them again. read more

$35 wash & blow dry, you get what you pay for.. I thought I'd try someplace new because my usual spot is by appt only and cost $65 for a wash & blow dry. The guy who washed my hair has a physical disability which enables him to thoroughly wash and comb my hair. The guy who blow dried my hair had the heat too high and the combo of the heat and very hard brush was painful at times. Finally the guy who curled my hair (the owner) was quick and pleasant. The salon is very clean, and I was out in about an hour and a half. Overall, the experience was ok. They just need a shampoo and blow dry person to be as skilled as the stylist (owner). In the meantime, I'll go back to my main salon. It cost more but the staff is friendly and skilled, they comb through my natural hair with ease, blow dry on med heat and style me just right:) read more

Great shop. Does good hair. They're quick & affordable. They may charge more for longer hair, if your hair is down your back.

I've walked past this salon since it was being built as my vet is right down the street. I kept telling myself that i'd check them out and today I finally did after becoming increasingly dissatisfied with my current stylist. I wish I'd done it sooner because my hair looks great. I called the day before to make an appoint and had no trouble getting in. I arrived on time and waited about 10 minutes before being seen. The shampoo guy was nice and did a fine job but I found the bowls very uncomfortable. My stylist was Adel and he took me right after my shampoo. I informed him about my hair and cautioned him not to use too much heat. He used the blow dryer on medium heat and asked questions every step of the way. He made sure that he didn't put anything in my hair without my consent and took the time to explain how my hair would look if he used one curling wand vs. the other one. Adel was very personable and professional. The entire staff seemed that way and the salon is nicely decorated and modern. There happened to be a lot of children being serviced so it was a bit chaotic for awhile but I heard one of the stylists say that children are only welcome if they are actual clients. The prices are extremely reasonable as well. I will most definitely be a return customer! read more

Today, I just walked in Hafid salon and luckily, I was the very first client. The guys that work here are super nice and treated me very well. We first discussed about the color of my hair and the hilight as well and gently started doing the hilight. They used the best quality of hair color and shampoo and hair conditioner. Also, they applied pure Oregano oil, which is a great source of vitamin E, on my hair. I am super picky but Hafid's really great hair dresser. He gave me one bottle of oregano oil, too. As a result my hair looked fantastic and really pretty. The price is great and affordable. I will definitely go back to them and l highly recommend people to trust Hafid and get what you want about your hair. read more

See all

Love everything about this place! I always walk out with exactly what I ask for and sometimes a little more. They are so friendly and accommodating read more

This was a first visit for me, Adele was my stylist and really took care of me. Ive been looking to find a new salon, so I think this may be the spot. Hafid really has a great customer service set up here and is very catering. Just what the neighborhood needs! The shop is relaxed and the music was nice, it was specific to the clientele and not his native country. Nice touch. Decor is sleek but comfy and he offers a great price. Im a fan. read more

I've been looking for someone who can style my hair based on my face structure. Someone who can cut my hair based on my skull topography. Finally, I found Hafid. He was delightful, personable and did a fantastic job with my hair. Proof was in the number of compliments I received on the haircut and the happiness I felt looking at myself in the mirror. I was able to style my hair in any-which-way I wanted!! I would go there committed. read more

This is a great place. Quick service and has reasonable prices. I'm glad to find a place that doesn't charge extra for length. I've been here 10 times and have no complaints. read more

First, let me explain my background so you get where my review comes from. I used to cut my hair all the time in under 20$ places, but then I decided to try something a bit more expensive when I moved to Chicago. I went to Bang for a very long time, but with a student's budget, its a bit extreme. So I decided to try this place. 20$ hair cut. No wash or dry. Positive: he got me right in. Negative(s): He trimmed my hair and charged me for a cut. I left with a random 2 inch part on the back of my head that was an inch shorter than any other part of my head, and my bangs aren't straight (even after I pointed it out to him and he tried to correct it). Absolutely no texture. I told him I was growing my hair out so that way it was all my natural hair color; he then spent the next 30 minutes telling me how I should pay him to dye my hair because I have alot of greys (like 3 singular hairs btw) and two color tones (duh) . I got to my room, figured out the best way to wear it up and that is how it is going to stay until it is grown out enough for a real salon to fix his mess. read more

I've been going to Hafid on and off for some years. I went back because he provides a quick wash and blow dry and can actually cut hair. Lots of the blow dry spots can't. The issue is business has been visibly slow for some time and hafid is visibly moody because of it. It's a gamble letting him cut your hair because if he's in a mood he does a careless, terrible job. After my second bad experience (cut too much, too much difference in length of layers) I'm done. I'm not picky at all but I want to save some of you who might be more upset about his "moody" work. read more

His concern & care for your kind of hair IS NOT genuine.. all about profit. He will burn your hair out, cut it incorrectly and style it w/ no sincere effort. He applied perm to my hair w/out a base and my entire neck is burned right now. Stop giving your money to those who don't give a dam about your kind of hair. This shop has no idea how to maintain Black hair. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They don't always wash the towels, they don't always put up the refreshments they serve to clients and the next day there are spider webs on the doughnuts and they STILL OFFER IT TO CLIENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Disgusting. Not the place to go for quality service. The actual hairstyling is ok but there is no one there that does anything people in the area like (no weaves, mohawks, etc) outside of the "burn-dry" Egyptian technique. Why is that? Because the MANAGEMENT SUCKS and runs everyone away! read more

I am writing this review because I just don't understand the negative ones. I come in from out of state just to have Hafid do my hair. I don't get in as often as I like but there is no one in Minnesota who gets my natural hair as straight as Hafid does. I walk out with people thinking I have a relaxer. I have not used the salon for trims or dyes but I've seen others and they all look great. The staff is very pleasant and the place is extremely clean. I often go as a walk-in and still have little wait time and am in and out in about an hour. My suggestion is to just give Hafid a try and decide for yourself. I am sure you will want to come back again and again. If I could clone him and open up a shop down the street in Minnesota, I'd go in every week. read more

Literally the worst salon I've ever been to. The sign outside says $35 wash & blow dry. Not "starting at..." or "$35-$55". But when i come in I'm told my hair will be $10 more because my hair is natural and long. The next issue is the person that washed my hair didn't do much washing at all. My hair came out half clean. As I set in the chair to get a blow dry I was still scratching residue from my scalp and no one said anything. Lastly, the guy who straightened my hair didn't do much straightening either. When he showed me the mirror at the end, I had chunks of hair that was still frizzy, my edges were not straight and half was uncurled. When I asked him to fix it, he barely did that. I literally went straight home and flat ironed my hair all over again. Ive had my hair styled for over 20 years and NEVER experienced anything this terrible. I just moved to the city and was looking for a new salon buy will never return here. I would urge anyone else not to go here unless you're looking for a cheap job. read more
