My husband and I came to Chicago for a weekend getaway and saw this salon as my husband and I walked back to hotel from eating breakfast. I called to see if I could get an appointment because my hair was badly in need of a good cut. Fortunately I was able to get an appointment with Marc. Not only did he cut and style my hair but he offered to do highlights and give me a partial relaxer (due to the texture of my hair and the tendency for it to curl easily). I was so pleased with his customer service, his personality, attention to detail and his extra covid precautions such as having me put a new mask on when I arrived and making sure I washed my hands and sanitized them when I left. I was super pleased with my final result. He was also extremely knowledgeable about hair and having only done my hair this one time he could tell what products would work best on my hair. The salon itself had great precautions in place such as partitions between wash bowls and the stations were social distanced. Lamont took my initial call when I inquired about getting an appointment and once I arrived he was pleasant and made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. I highly recommend Marc and I recommend this salon in general for the customer service. read more

Karin Perry did a phenomenal job, not only with my hair but with her personal customer service. She assessed my hair, gave good tips to maintain its health and then made it look good. I walked away feeling taken care of. Plus, the salon is following CDC guidelines to the "t" while also looking chic. I'll definitely be back again and again and again! read more

Yesterday was my first visit to this salon, and I was blown away with the professionalism. I've never been to a salon where the receptionist was actually seated at the desk. The salon is humongous and pretty in the inside. The furniture is really unique to the overall feel of the salon. I also like the black and white contrast throughout the salon. My hair stylist was Kisha, and she's so professional and beautiful. She did my hair exactly the way it was in the picture I texted her. I only wished she was available on a Thursday rather a Wednesday due to my event being on Friday. I surely hope my hair style last. My only other complaint is that hair styles are so costly. However, I rather pay outrageous prices and have a reliable hair stylist any day of the week. Otherwise, I enjoyed my visit. Parking is a breeze as there is enough street parking to go around. read more

As I've stated in my photos, the styling At the salon had caused my hair to grow. The atmosphere is great and positive, above all professional.

Marc has been my hair stylist for years. When I started out with Marc I had left a hairdresser that I was unhappy with. I was seriously considering going natural because I'd started to experience shedding and poor scalp conditions. Marc totally changed things for me. Yes, I still do sport a relaxer and my hair is healthy and longer than it's ever been. Marc knows how to take care of hair! If I do decide to go natural it'll simply be a choice. I see his other clients and I can share that he shines with natural hair care and styles, just as much as he does with relaxed hair! Whether you rock a relaxer or you're on team natural, you'd be quite pleased to have Marc as your stylist. He works wonders. read more

Let me first start off by saying that I have never actually made it through the door way of Lillian Dion Salon, and let me explain why... In the mart I made the mistake of making eye contact, and therefore getting roped into a 15 minute sales pitch for a groupon-esk package at Lillian Dion Salon. ....Partial Color, Cut, Style, Deep Conditioning treatment, Mani/Pendi a $300+ value for a mere $65...it seems too good to be true and as it turns out, it was! Well, I was tempted and ended up buying int the package receiving my voucher right on the spot. The first two times I called the salon was to try a schedule my mani/pedi..."try" being the key word. I was met with the response "Oh our manicurist actually just left the salon, we don't know if we'll be replacing her". Interesting, well you ought replace her and pronto if you're selling deals that include that service, no? So I figured, OK I'll let them work that out and in the mean time I DO need a haircut, so I'll give that service a whirl. I called an additional 4 times throughout a 3 month period to schedule a cut/style. The receptionist was pleasant enough but I was blocked with filled schedules, or "Lillian is sick" or let me get back to you about availability. (mind you i never asked for or requested lillian herself). We all know where this is going...there was never a call back. Never an appointment scheduled. I'm not one to back down after I've paid money up front for a service or PACKAGE of services - after 6 phone calls I was feeling stalkerish but I moved up to Lakeview and decided this battle wasn't worth the fighting for anymore. Hell, Lillian Dion Salon may be miracle workers with hair, pampering and the rest....I wouldn't know. Instead they left me extremely pissed off and with a bad taste in my mouth by the way they run their business. Lesson learned, if it seems too good to be true...it most likely is! Such was the case here. read more

UPDATE: This place is either closed down or renovating. All the stylist stations are gone and most of the stuff has been taken off the walls. Hmm... I received an incredibly nasty, error-laden message from Jai, who saw my review. I was accused of being a "loser" and a friend of former employees, which couldn't be further from the truth. What I am is a longtime South Loop resident who doesn't like having her time or money wasted. I was truthful about my experience at the salon and absolutely stand by my review. Instead of trying to make improvements in service, I get an illiterate and disgruntled customer attacking me. Even further proof of why I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

I went here once, during July. Let me start with the positives... my hair actually looked really great. The stylist (can't recall her name, but she is Caribbean) was an amazing colorist. Cut was so-so, but the color was great. And yet, even with the great color, I will never go back: First, I was in the salon for a total of over seven hours. Second, there was a weird stylist switch... I went in after making an appointment for a highlight touch up. The stylist that I had the appointment with called over another stylist (the Caribbean woman), who suggested that I add low lights because my hair was very blonde and did not "look serious" ... okay, fine. Not what I asked for, but fine. The weird thing was that the first stylist then sort of started picking at my hair for about an hour or so, and then kept calling over the second stylist to help her decide what to use. And then she just left and let the second woman take over for the entire service. And then, even though the second stylist did my entire color and even blow dried me, when I went to pay, the owner of the salon (who was also the cashier) told me that the two stylists split the service. I asked her whether I should just tip on the total amount, even though one of them did the whole service. She said "well, did you like your service?" which made it sound like she thought I was asking how tipping worked or something. So I ended up having to tip both of them on the total amount, which was sort of unfair considering the first woman got a giant tip (see below for cost of service) but didn't do anything. The worst part, though, was that I was honestly shocked by the cost of the service when I went to pay ... over $400! ... the stylist charged me for a corrective color, without telling me at the outset that she considered low lighting/ highlighting combo to be a corrective color. That really surprised me. I did not go in seeking a corrective color. The stylists did not say "we need to do corrective color" or "this will be pricey" or any of that... she suggested low lights, and then charged me for corrective color. I felt a bit trapped by when I saw the bill. I honestly had no idea that was coming. I am just too weirded out to go back. But that being said, the color was quite good. So my advice is to be prepared to pay a lot, and to be very clear on the pricing.... read more

Lillian Dion broke my heart. I trusted her with my locks- I thought we had something special but I guess she didn't feel the same. I have called and called, almost a stalkerish amount, and she doesn't return my calls. I guess she doesn't want to use her magic on me. Which is a huge shame because I don't think I will ever find a better hair cut. This is the most painful form of rejection. I will have to talk to my therapist about it. Seriously a bummer. I'm actually pissed. WORST BREAK UP EVER! Update: Lillian and I are on speaking terms my therapist says this is a start to my recovery. I'm very excited to have my hair look like the gods have blessed my head. read more

The salon looks great, but is way overrated. I saw the article in Chicago Mag and the reviews on here, but my experience was far from what I was expecting based upon the reviews and the article. I had Willy as my stylist. It was a bit uncomfortable, because of his attitude - very superior. I was worked on for 20 minutes, period - the time I spent waiting was longer than that. He didn't wash my hair, or have my hair washed by anyone else; I had a trim (two - three inches), and told him I wanted bangs. When I went in, I didn't have them; I told him what I wanted and that I hadn't had bangs before, and he started cutting. When he was done, that was it. No shampoo at the end, no advice on how to style my hair or how to make the new bangs do what I wanted them to do. Then he asked if the receptionist had told me how much it would cost; I told him now, and was floored when he told me that it would be $80. I can't believe how ridiculous that is - $80 for 20 minutes of cutting and discussion, no styling advice, and no shampoo? After that visit, I was thinking about how I really should enroll in a beauty college if I was going to be able to charge $320 per hour. Never would I visit again, regardless of how convenient it is to my work, and I wouldn't suggest the place to anyone. read more

I adore this beautiful new salon in the South Loop. The owner, Lillian, and staff are both friendly and know how to do some hair!! They carry the Italian line of hair care products, DAVINES (http://www.davines.com) and Avlon's Keracare(https://www.avlon.com/KeraCare/index.htm). The salon itself is gorgeous with white walls and dark wood accents, hardwood floors, massaging chairs that you sit in while your head/hair is washed and massaged, and huge plasma screen TVs you can dork out on while you get your hair done! The prices are a little high but worth it! They also have a private room you can request if you are having a salon service done that you want nobody to know about, like extensions or a weave/wig. This is the place to go for people with all different hair types and no one is ever made to feel awkward as in "we don't specialize in THAT type of hair" or "ethnic hair, what is THAT?" Multi- racial hair salon? Love that concept! Welcome to the neighborhood Lillian Dion. read more

This review is for the magician herself...Miss Lillian. I came here on a whim as her salon is in my neck of the woods and while skeptical at first it turned out to be a grade A decision. For as long as I can remember I've had a huge complex about my hair. Shallow? Maybe. Necessary? 100%. My hair is pretty wavy/curly and thick. With the exception of my hairdresser in my college town circa 2008 I've had the worst time finding someone who gets me. I can't tell you how many times where I've heard, "Oh...wow. You have so much hair" which as we all know is code for "Cough cough your hair sucks girl." Lillian just got me. She's absolutely adorable and the sweetest thing ever and most important girl is amazing at hair. Not once did she complain or make a bitchy comment (which most girls know goes a long way). She can blow dry like no one else I've ever met and the best part is she took the time to teach me how to do it myself! She's always giving me great tips and tricks and mentoring me on what to do next with my hair. I like to think of Lil as my own personal Nick Arrojo from TLC's What Not To Wear. :) Side Note - Minus 1 Star for the guy who answers the phone. I'm not sure he quite understands the art of being a receptionist. It's pretty much like pulling teeth to get that damn appointment...homeboy needs to lock that shit down. read more

Now to be fair, I'm sure the other stylists are also excellent, but this review is really just for Crizen. She is PHENOMENAL. And worth it to follow her to any salon. It's amazing how much she knows about hair...and all different kinds of hair. I've seen her work with my girlfriend's hair which is thick and super curly, whereas I have really thin hair, and it was her that convinced me to chop off my long hair and have a really short, trendy, angled cut. When I returned for a trim, she gave me the best highlights I've ever had. And the best part is....she is super nice! She really listens to what you want, what your hesitations are, and she's not afraid to tell you what she thinks would look best. I've come to just trust her with everything that involves hair and makeup. When I moved to NY I actually refused to go anywhere else for my hair and I would wait to come back to Chicago just so Crizen could do my hair!! Granted it's been a while since I've been back and although I'm happy with my stylist now, no one compares to Crizen. And FYI..I saw her yesterday and she's preggers and about to give birth, but STILL working as hard as ever to make your hair look fabulous! read more

Crizen is hands down the best ever!! I followed her here from another salon actually. I just go for haircuts, but I am picky... the wash and styling they provide with it is very enjoyable. Everyone that works here is very nice and helpful too! I have been able to sneak in a last min cut before due to others canceling, and the online booking system they use is nice and easy too. read more

A coworker recommended that I try Chris Curse of Lillian Dion salon. Her hair is natural and always looks healthy, shiny and amazing. This past weekend, i gave him a try and I can honestly say my hair has not looked this good (straight) since I've gone natural. The Lillian Dion staff is very professional, friendly and warm. The salon has an upscale, chic ambiance that makes you feel at home. They even have reclining chairs at the shampoo bowl that makes the experience all the more pleasant. Chris is a genius. Besides being a celebrity hair stylist who is very good at what he does, he takes the time to build a relationship with his client. He gives you exactly what you ask for but also makes recommendations that will only benefit you-nothing is for personal gain. While Chris was my stylist, I observed the other stylists as well. All of their clients walked away with a fresh, new edgy look. This is day 3 of my hair style and it still looks fresh! I often sweat in my head so getting my hair straightened can be a waste. However he sprayed my hair with a product that protects it from humidity and it has been very successful on my hair. I love this salon and I will be going back next month! I highly recommend Lillian Dion and Chris Curse to anyone that is looking for amazing hair. Although I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the stylists there. I forgot to mention that the prices are very reasonable. I've paid much more at other salons, and wasn't nearly as pleased as I was this time. It was worth every penny. read more

As the daughter of a black business owner and understanding all it takes for one to thrive, Lilian Dion is the nicest, most professional black-owned salon I've ever visited. Every stylist is a specialist in the services they offer and even the shampoo is a mini-massage escape (depending on who's washing). It seems that they are highly selective in their hiring and truly know their craft. The owner is super sweet and everyone works to make sure your needs are met, while being friendly and making you feel at home. I love this business, and I think a small scale retail or esthetics component would take it to the next level. I recommend 100% read more

Will not be returning to the salon ever again. I googled black salons downtown and this was a place that came up.. the salon itself is cute but the staff are unprofessional. Expect to sit in the salon for 4 1/2 hours for a simple wash and flat iron. I've already been here for 2 hours and she's taking two other walk ins who came after me first. I Will NEVER come here again and pissed that I wasted my time here. read more

Were do I begin with this place..... Well for starters I choose to have my gorgeous hair cut here because the place looked cute and what the hell I live across the street. So I did the everyday research of looking places up on line and comparing prices and what not. Well for starters the price range for a hair cut was $35-$90. So you would assume 1. maybe the range is for the length and/or type of hair and 2. they would tell you what the price would be for you service before hand since the range is HUGE. (I worked at Mario Tricoci and I understand the range for new stylists versus senior ones, im down with that lingo). But no I wasnt told anything except to be at my appt at 1pm. Hey it was 11 and I thought I could relax my behind a lil more before I got ready. Hey it's summer and I like to relax!!! Anywho, I was greeted my a receptionist who asked me to be seated and my shampooer would me with me shortly. Well once he decided to come back into the salon at 1:15pm I was taken to the shampoo bowls, which I have to admit was the absolute highlight of the whole experience. They recline and massage you like the chairs at the nail salon, oh and I forgot to mention how cute they are by serving ginger ale in wine glasses. Ok now back to the "experience", so I get to the bowl and see another woman sitting at a bowl with her hair everywhere, and I really do mean everywhere. Thought she was for another stylist. Ooh little did I know we had the same stylist and she was before me. Its now 1:20pm and I am getting shampooed. Now mind I tell you that I have naturally curly hair but I straighten it. I take great care of my hair and it was in descent shape, I was just having a girl moment ad wanted a lil different edge to my current cut. The shampoo guy went into great lengths to tell me how horrible my hair was and he was going to put a deep conditioning conditioner on it. Well who the hell am I to know any better. So I sat there, and sat and sat. I started to feel like a lost child. Now its 2:15pm and I get rinsed and brought to the chair. Only to be greeted by a rude stylist who rolled his eyes at me when I was discussing what I wanted. Thank god I paid attention because I had to stop the cutting before I looked like Sinade O'Connor. Then as he "blow-dried" my hair he just just a plain flat brush and talked on his phone the whole time. My hair was curly on the bottom and I had a Farah Faucet flip on the top. He took the cape off and walked away. I then only assumed that we were finished and I proceeded to the front desk. At this point it was after 3pm and I had already rescheduled 2 work meetings because of the ridiculous tardiness of the salon. Then the heart attack came when she told me my bill was $90. I was so disgusted that I paid and left. Seriously? Does that salon think they are in the Bloomingdale's building doing Jennifer Aniston's hair? I will never and I mean never personally step foot in that place and I hope by reading this you never will. There was "1" stylist there and they charged $90 and were over and hour late? Yeah im pretty sure I was in Chicago and not London. So please do yourself, your time and your pocket book a favor and dont get services here. Go to Aniko Salon across the street where they are so nice and upfront with their services..... oh yeah and on time. read more

If you have natural Black hair. DO NOT come here! The only thing they know how to do is blowdry it to cut it, or give you a straw set...I mean hello! Just because you have natural hair doesn't mean you want to change the style of your curl into small shirley temple ringlets! Also beware of the amount of heat they apply to your delicate hair...I had to cut a couple parts out since they singed it straight with hot combs and what not. Plus it's very expensive. Lastly, the shampoo lady did not know how to properly comb through wet naturally curly hair. Natural hair takes time and care. these people didn't care. read more

My review is based on merely attempting to get an appointment there, but never having actually set foot inside. The experience alone was enough to let me know I would NEVER give them my money. A friend gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure, and after 3 failed attempts at an appointment I gave up. The first time I called I had to leave a message and never got a return phone call. The 2nd time I actually spoke to a live, albeit flippant receptionist, who sounded like she was doing me a huge favor by answering the phone (should have been my first clue) and granting me the privilege of booking an appointment for me. The day of my appointment, which was scheduled for after work and right before I was leaving for a business trip, they called me (no joke here, people) 15 FRIGGIN MINUTES before my appointment to tell me that the person scheduled to do my manicure & pedicure had called in sick, so I'd have to reschedule. Now what, now?? You have ONE person in the entire salon who does mani/pedis? For reals? There was no other hand and foot specialist who could handle my appointment? Is it me or is that bad business? Oh, and, mind you that the oh-so charming imp who called me didn't bother to ask if I wanted to reschedule while she had me on the phone. The third time was the charm. Called to make yet ANOTHER APPOINTMENT, and was left on hold for 7 minutes. At that point I gave up and decided that a prepaid pedicure wasn't worth the janky atmosphere. read more

Jacinta is one of the best hair stylist in the city! She takes really good care of my hair and always leaves it blowing in the wind (literally)........She's been doing my hair for the past 2 almost 3 years and I love it! She is such an amazing person and stylist, who genuinely cares for your hair. I highly recommend you natural ladies to go see Jacinta! Love her mucho! read more

I received extensions from Dedric DeShon and was extremely displeased. Dedric styles my friend's hair, and she assured me that he also did extensions well. I visited his salon for a consultation and looked at photos and saw a long and short extensions that he had done. So I booked the appointment. He insisted on ordering quality hair for me, and said that it cost $150. I agreed. I wanted a "bob" style and did not get that at all. The extensions service was HORRIBLE. $150 for hair (which really costs $110). $220 for extensions service. And then an additional $50 for him to try to fix it when I went back to the salon for the THIRD time. I hated the style, it was not at all what I wanted, the braids were crap and everything started to come loose after only THREE weeks! Also, the braider did not add the loose hair to braid my hair, instead, they added YARN! WHO DOES THAT? The weave was so bad and raggedy that I had to take it all down and go elsewhere after only THREE WEEKS! Luckily I found someone that is awesome and now my hair looks WONDERFUL. I should also mention that the first appointment was at 5:30PM and at 1AM he said that was tired and for me to come back the next day for proper layering and styling. So I had to go to work with a crappy weave. The second appointment he layered the hair entirely too much. The third appointment I wanted to take it all out, but he asked to save it. So his assistant added two braids to my hair, and then he sewed in THREE more tracks, flat ironed it and it looked bad still...then had the nerve to charge me an extra $50!!!!! He is the worst! Dedric is not a good stylist for extensions. I've seen the natural and relaxed hair he has styled and it is lovely, but he is out of his league when it comes to extensions. read more

Dedric Deshon is my stylist and has been for several years...he saved my hair from completely falling out of head! He cares about his work! He does the best sew-ins and keratins! Period. So if you need a stylist I highly recommend Dedric and I am picky as they come :) read more

My stylist Robert Lewis is awesome. If you decide to see him u wont be disappointed

Hey ladies! Just an fyi that Mikke is no longer stylin' it up at this salon. She has since moved to Toss Salon. It's just down the street on 13th St. in between Wabash and Michigan. As I mentioned before in my previous review, wherever she goes, my hair will follow! Check her out! read more

Marc Anthony Bell and his assistant Cordellia (sorry, I'm sure I've butchered her name) are now at this salon and I couldn't be happier! They are simply the best. Due to distance and lack of time, I stopped going to the salon they used to work at in the west loop. I tried a number of different places, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, can work my natural hair like these two! The health of my hair, the body, the shine...I'm a new woman every time they touch me. I'm so happy to have them both back in my life. Pure awesomeness! read more

Just got an amazing hair cut from Melissa Douglas. She's amazing!!! My hair was badly damaged and she managed to get my hair exactly where I wanted. It's so hard to find someone who can listen to what you want and execute it so well. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

All I can say is my wife loves this place... We were in Chicago visiting and my wife wanted her hair done and we found Lillian Dion close to our hotel. Long story short, my wife now plans to get her hair done everytime we visit Chicago. read more

Marquita is a miracle worker! I visited Lillian Dion Salon yesterday after a recommendation from two colleagues who are her clients. I made an appointment on Tuesday for a sew-in weave and was able to get a 6:00 AM. appointment on Saturday. Marquita was prompt, friendly, professional, and treated my newly transitioning (relaxed to natural) hair with a gentleness that I really appreciated. This was only my second time ever having a sew-in. The first time was about three years ago with someone else and it was a HORRIBLE experience. I was totally turned off to the concept of wearing a weave but my desire to gracefully grow out my relaxed hair in a style that could withstand my 6-day-a-week workout schedule made me reconsider. Marquita consulted with me when I arrived and we talked about my reasons for getting a weave and my reasons for growing out the relaxer, we talked about the style I wanted and my own hair's quirks and idiosyncrasies. I appreciated that she wasn't just a weave factory, out to make a buck at any cost to her clients' hair health. She didn't braid my hair too tight (I was able to sleep comfortably last night) and she cut and styled my weave beautifully. I got compliments all day long. I see so many women walking around the city with jacked-up, "wiggy" looking weaves, so I was really nervous going in the door. However, Marquita was just fantastic. The salon itself is calm and decorated nicely. The prices are surprisingly good for the Loop location. The stylists seemed to have a nice rapport with one another and with their clients. There's $8 parking in the garage across the street if you arrive before 10:00 AM. I'll definitely be going back...I think I've found my Chicago salon home (however, if Marquita ever leaves, I'm going with her) . read more

Linda Mikki Faine is the baddest hair stylist in Chicago! I say this because it's the truth! Mikki has been doing my hair for 6 years! I even moved away for 2 years and still flew back to have her do my hair. I usually get a relaxer, deep condition, color rinse and trim. My hair always looks and feels healthy, my relaxers last a long time, my color is custom blended by Mikki and not that cheap Jazzin color that looks like koolaid, and my hair style is always fresh! Mikki believes in healthy hair and signature styles. Even when I'm in between visits and my new growth is a little nappy, my hair still looks great because Mikki's cuts and trims are all that. Mikki is precise and she takes her time to make sure your hair looks flawless. She even checks up on you after a couple of days to make sure you are happy with your hair. Mikki is a great person, she's honest, always positive and this woman loves House music. She's definately Chicago's finest. And Lilliian Dion Salon is lucky to have her. I love this salon because it is so centrally located. The music is always nice, the other stylists are drama free and friendly and the assistants are so attentive, they even let you know when the meter maid is stalking so you can put quarters in. The salon is very multicultural and you never have to wait. The prices may be a little more than Shaniqua's Bump and curl but you never have to wait, you get the best service ever and you get what you pay for. IF you are looking for healthy hair and signature styles check out Mikki at this salon. YOu will fall in love. read more

I've been coming here for the last 2 years and never leave disappointed. Rashaad does a great job making sure my hair is cut how I like it and he takes the time to educate me about my hair. I use to wait hours at my last barbershop, lining pushed back and jacked up. Now, I appreciate having appointments and someone who actually cares about my head. read more

My stylist, Jan, started working at Lillian Dion about 3 months ago. The location is convenient and the people in the salon seem to be very friendly and courteous. I really love my stylist Jan and will follow her wherever she goes because she is a GREAT stylist. She really focuses on healthy hair and she knows how to make her customers feel and look beautiful:-) She has helped my hair grow and she is great at choosing a hair color that you will love! I have had good experiences at the salon which has a relaxed/friendly setting. And the set-up of the salon is unique. I would recommend this salon, especially my stylist to anyone who wants beautiful, healthy hair for life. read more

I love this place! Have been going here for over a year and Rashad has been my barber for well over 5 years. He is the best in the business and if you come here I would recommend seeing him! read more

I haven't been to Dedric in about 6 months, mainly because he did a terrible job on my sew-in. He layered it way too much, and I was not happy with the results. Then I checked my emails the other day, and saw that Dedric Deshon was offering his clients $5 off if they wrote a positive review on Yelp. I'm sorry Dedric, but that says a lot about your work if you have to bribe your clients into saying positive things about you. He is overpriced and does not deliver for what he charges. Find a different salon, I'm happy I did. read more

I wish I could give this a 0 star rating, because I am seriously traumatized. I went in for a hair coloring and I wish I could say I'm upset because of my hair color but it's actually from my experience (although the stylist, who I will not name out of respect, did leave the toner in for too long and the color is just horrendous). Besides that, while I was waiting for the color to process, I thought I felt something brush up against my leg. I ignored it the first time, and when it happened again, I just had to look -and I can tell you I was not at all pleased. THERE WAS A RODENT - A FAT LITTLE RAT! I cannot believe this establishment is suppose to be considered classy and high-end. Are you kidding me, is this what the customers are paying for?!!!! I'm sorry but I will NEVER step foot near this place again! read more

Don't let Tracey from Lillian Dion color your hair. She RUINED my hair. I had to come in a total of 4 times and spent close to 24 hrs at the salon rectifying her horrible job. She left me with half of my already thin hair gone. All I wanted was her to touch up my roots on the tip of my head which had been highlighted. She messed up the first time so I had to go back the next day which she messed up even more. The third time she left bleach in my hair for over 5 hrs and my hair was so plastic like it just fell off. LUCKILY the owner has been able to help me and put extensions free of charge to rectify the HORRIBLE job Tracey did to begin with. The owner is very nice and professional and told me she will work with me to get my hair back to what it was but that it will probably take up to 6 months to get there. I would only recommend letting the owner do your hair unless you want half of your hair burnt off and want to look worse than how you originally came in. read more

I went to Crizen for highlights and a haircut (after asking someone where they got their hair done; so I saw her work in advance). She gave me the best cut I've had in years, at a fraction of the cost from the Gold Coast. area. My Color is also great; and a price I didn't choke on. Crizen took me a few minutes early, didn't b.s. and went right to business. I also want to mention the ladies at the reception desk couldn't have been nicer; I will certainly be back and referring clients! Thank you Crizen! read more

I loooove love love Lillian Dion Salon. It's very clean, great location, and the staff is wonderful. I go to Mikke who I absolutely adore. I started going to Mikke earlier this year, and she is fabulous. I moved to Chicago and had all the regular hair horror stories, but Mikke was a god send. When I came in, she gave me a consultation before she did anything to my hair. She asked me what kind of products I used, how often I relaxed, etc. My hair was really damaged, so I told her I knew I needed a cut, and she was able to make some really great suggestions for styles. She had to cut much more off then we discussed initially, but she asked me before she chopped it off, which I really appreciated. I knew how my hair would look before she even relaxed my hair. She's really into the health of your hair above all else which is rare in stylists. She communicates very well with her clients on the health of their hair and how she will get it and keep it healthy. She's super professional and does an excellent job cutting, coloring and maintaining healthy hair. I ended up loving my haircut so much, we've been keeping it short ever since. I would highly recommend Mikke to anyone who wants not only amazing style, but also healthy and bouncy hair. read more
