I've been with Sarah exclusively since 2013. No one has ever cut my curly hair in such an attentive, responsive way. She is always upbeat, warm, and a great host in her welcoming space. Before going purple in 2018, I had never gotten my hair colored. She talked me through the whole process and worked with me to get exactly what I wanted. And going back to my natural brown couldn't have been any easier. She even uses healthy, natural products that you can purchase from her at the end of your visit. Sarah is a queen. One of her other clients has said, "Sarah will do my hair until one of us dies," and I share this sentiment. read more

Hair Craft - purple curls - Hair Stylists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sarah is a hair magician; she's the best stylist. I first met her in 2012 at Twisted Scissors, followed her to Little Sister, and was so excited for her as she opened her own space. Sadly, I moved from Chicago to Denver in 2018 and knew I would miss her the most. She even tried to find me a stylist in Denver through her network to no avail. So, every quarter I fly back to Chicago and look forward to spending time with Sarah. Her cuts are incredible and her color skills are divine. I've done everything from all over color to highlights to a hidden rainbow to an oil slick. Go see Sarah, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Hair Craft - Oil slick hair! I received so many compliments. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been to dozens of different stylists around Logan Square and Avondale and was never a return customer until I found Sarah. While she no longer works a block from my house, I was happy to follow her when she started her new business. I've never had a stylist just know what to do with my hair from the very first visit. I have really thick hair, and I've been to a lot of salons that don't know how to manage it or rush through it because it takes so long to style. Never with Sarah. She takes her time and does it right. I've never come away with a style I didn't love, and I completely trust her with making major style changes to my hair. Can't recommend her enough. read more

I really did not want to take it this far but after repeated attempts to get Sarah to acknowledge that she left me a very unsatisfied customer, I feel like I need to leave a review for my own peace of mind but also to forewarn future blondes who consider going to her. I'll leave the attached picture to do most of the talking. My ask was to brighten and highlight my roots to get me to the blonde that I was a few years ago (pictured on the left) for my upcoming engagement session the following Saturday. Upon visiting her, my roots were grown out, dull and lacked vibrance. She acknowledged her love for working on blondes and said it was absolutely something she could do. Unfortunately, the picture on the right is where she got me. Brunette; flat, dull and removing all dimension I had. I texted her shortly after my appointment as well as the days that followed. Her initial fix was telling me to wash my hair repeatedly with dish soap... which I did. I saw no improvement, my hair became dry and bristly and so I continued to press back on my unhappiness. She offered to schedule an appointment for a clarifying shampoo and to throw a few more foils in. At that point, I did not trust her to get me where I wanted to be and so I kindly asked for a partial refund of the total $240 I spent - to which she denied, claiming she stood by her work. I know she goes above and beyond for other clients, as noted by their reviews, however I do not feel like she adequately addressed my concerns and in no way showed sympathy or offered to refund me for the damage done. read more

Amanda is my girl!! I started seeing her at her previous salon when I wanted to dip my toes into some fun, vivid colors. She's seen me through from a firetruck red, to a multitoned gemstone, to chopping off 6+ inches of hair and dying it rainbow unicorn goodness (emphasis on the rainbow). Through all the cuts and the colors Amanda has been very careful to take utmost care of my hair, and is great at advising you so you get the happiest, most vibrant, healthiest hair you've ever had. She's also incredibly creative, and I'm totally comfortable telling her a direction I'm leaning in and letting her go wild. Whether you're looking for someone to give you a great cut, a beautiful style, or gorgeous colors both natural and otherwise, Amanda is definitely your girl. So proud of her for venturing out into her own business!! read more

Amanda is THE best you'll find in Chicago. She has an incredible ability to listen to you as the client but also provide insight and advice as an expert in her craft. I've been going to Amanda for nearly 3 years for color/cuts and highly recommend. read more

I adore Sarah and trust her implicitly. I've been going to her for 7(?) years. I have thick, wavy-curly hair. It is more confused than complicated, but where others have struggled, Sarah can tame my mane like none other. From simple maintenance during a 'grow out phase' to hacking off 10 inches, from natural highlights to rose gold balayage to a full head of red you'd believe was natural. She's renowned for her colorist capabilities, but I fawn over her for it all. Bonus: she's been a hair educator as well so she is super passionate and knowledgeable about color, product, tools, etc. I love that she listens and knows my preferences, but also makes some spot-on recommendations when needed. Following her from her last salon (Twisted Scissors) to her new, self-run biz was a no brainer. Seriously, go to her. read more

Amanda is extremely patient and puts so much love and time in every single appointment I have been to.

I've been seeing Sarah A for pixie cuts and asymmetrical bobs since 2012 -- after moving back to Chicago in 2016, I was so excited to reunite with her scissors. She does beautiful, precise, skillful coloring and cutting, and I always felt more confident leaving her chair. I'm not much into changing up my own hair color, but when I did take the risk there her work was awesome. I'm always stunned by her other clients leaving the salon. There's no one in Chicago I'd recommend more! read more

I have been seeing Amanda since shortly after she finished cosmetology school. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to watch her grow as a stylist. I followed her to each salon she moved to and I am thrilled that she now has her own space! She has always taken the time to listen to my wants and concerns and has never once let me down or given me a hairstyle I didn't love. Color, cut, style is always exactly what I want. She is truly an artist! read more

Amanda is the most amazing hair sorceress! She always creates the most amazingly beautiful combinations of colors, and turns my head into a work of art. I cannot speak highly enough of this woman and the work that is done here! read more

Amanda is absolutely incredible. I was so nervous to go to a salon to get a hair cut because it had been years since I've gone, but she made me feel very comfortable and talked me through everything she was doing. She uses great products and has a cute space. Found my forever stylist! read more

I've been a client of Sarah's for years now and I can't imagine ever letting anyone else cut my hair ever again. Sarah is an amazingly talented stylist. She has taken my hair through many colors, all while keeping it healthy. Sarah knows my hair almost better than I do, and is always happy to offer advice when I'm thinking of making a big change. I never used to be confident in my hair, or that my hair could be glamorous. Sarah found products that work for me and my lifestyle and outside of cutting my hair has greatly educated me on how to care for my hair in between visits. I can't believe my own hair when I look at myself in the mirror now! She also is excellent at cutting and styling men's hair as well. My brother and my boyfriend have both also been clients of Sarah's for years now (I can't recommend her enough!) and she has done the same for them as she has for me, educating them on hair care beyond just the cut and style. We always leave Hair Craft feeling like a million bucks. I'm now so happy with my hair, thank you Sarah! read more
