This review is from a regular customer. I got my first experience with dying my hair 10 years ago…read morein a popular hair salon. I paid more than $100 for highlights (not full head!). After service my curls looked yellow and I was disappointed . Thank God I met Angelika who did a great job! I have been visiting Angelka for over 10 years! During this long time, I experimented a lot with colors, hair lengths and hairstyles. During this time, the salon has changed its address several times. But I always come only to Angelika because she's a really good specialist, always gives me good tips and suggestions for my hairstyle, she's responsible, and she's just a good person. Also the prices are very reasonable and I always get excellent quality and I am ready to pay for it! Here is a photo of my last visit last week. No photo filters. Thank you very much Angelika for making me happy again! Good luck with your business and God bless you!

It has been years since I found a stylist who understood what I wanted and was able to make my hair…read morelook this good. Dana, the owner, who is also so sweet and fun, cut almost 8" off my hair my first time seeing her, and it looked amazing! I have lots of hair and it ranges from kind of wavy in the front to full on S waves in the back, so it's not the easiest to work with. Dana just knew exactly how to shape it so that it lays right, but still has lots of swing and movement. This salon is such a great find for me. Compared to what other salons charge, it is so reasonable to leave with hair you love!

this is my first review on yelp. I just had to review since I know lots of people like myself that…read morehave a hard time finding a good salon. and because of prior bad experiences, I had not cut my hair in over 8 months. I moved back to my hometown Chicago from NY after 10 years so I was looking for a hair stylist to stick with. shortly after I moved back in spring of 2013, I had a bday party to attend and needed a cut badly. on short notice I stopped by the nearest chain hair cuttery. it's wasn't a bad cut necessarily but it wasn't a good one either. she missed trimming at least one layer. and she scolded me for having dry hair, doing keratin, and not cutting my hair every 6-8 weeks. fast forward to this past Friday. I read a few reviews and also wanted to stay within driving distance of Jefferson Park. so Aiyu peaked my interest. I was super nervous but as soon as I walked in Dana was so warm and inviting. the place is small but very neat and modern. she mentioned her training and education which did put me a little at ease. conversation flowed with Dana, but I never felt pressure to converse (sometimes I just want to read a magazine or play with my phone and not necessarily have an hour long convo while my hair is being done) (FYI: I'm an introvert). but I felt really comfortable. the wash was great, she conditioned my hair more because it was dry and needed lots of dead hair cut off. but she never once scolded me. she asked and actually listened for what I wanted. and I too asked her opinion on length to cut but she didn't go crazy cutting my hair all short. I wanted a cut but I still wanted my long hair. when she was done I admit I was a little surprised, it was probably the best cut I've had. all the dead hair was gone. my hair was still long, and it was shiny and soft and so flowy. my boss complemented me as soon as I walked in to the office yesterday. I'm loyal in that when I find good service (car shop, hair salon, etc.), I stick with them forever. Extra points for sending me a "thank you" email. thx Dana, I'll see you soon.

I've known Fred and Lynn since I was in diapers. I'm 24 now. They have always treated my family and…read moreI well - and have taken GREAT care of my hair ever since my mom first allowed me to dye it! Fred does all of my cuts and he always does such an amazing job with both color and cut. All of the women in my family go to Hair FX to get their hair done and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I always get compliments on my hair after a visit to their salon. I'm a natural brunette, but Fred does such a great job with color and highlights that many people think I'm a natural redhead until I tell them otherwise. Fred is knowledgeable, VERY patient (I never know what I want when I walk in the door), and very skilled. Lynn takes care of my mom and my sister and she does such a great job working with their hair and also gives great advice pertaining to texture, length, and color for each individual. Hair FX is well worth the price! Certified Obby approved :)

The owner (Waffa) started out great the first two times I went in for a hair appointment but like…read moreother reviewers posted, her work product really went downhill. Twice I walked out with uneven edges (drastically so). The first. time I chalked it up to an honest mistake but when it happened again, it clearly shows that she stopped putting in a good effort. She tends to rush through it. Also, fails to brush off/remove the hair that has fallen onto our shoulders/neck etc. Just like someone else posted, if you get an "appointment" do not expect it to be honored. I still had to wait about 25 minutes for her to finish someone else up. In that case, do not even provide appointments and just say it's a first come, first serve basis. On some occasions when I dropped in and (there were no people but she was on the phone) she seemed annoyed that she had to hang up to take care of a customer. Hair salons are so abundant in the city, I am sure I can find one that provides much better customer service and actually cares to provide a good quality haircut.

My hair stayed in place all day even with photos by the lake and dancing late into the night. She is amazing!! Korena is also so kind and easy to be around.
