Absolutely love this salon! Moving from Lakeview to the West Loop in February, so decided to find a new salon. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair but like anything that's not my expertise, I want to be able to trust the stylist I'm going to fully. After reading some other yelp reviews and looking at the pictures provided, I decided I was going to make an appointment with Jesse. From the moment I got there they were super sweet. Offered me bottled water, helped me figure out where to park, and just overall friendly vibes from everyone working there. The decor is beautiful. I met Jesse and loved him from the beginning! He is SO personable and really fun to talk to! I could have sat there all day talking to him! But on to my hair! My hair was super long and I decided I wanted a big change. I wanted a shorter cut and I had a specific idea in mind. He sat and explained everything to me so I felt super comfortable with what he was about to do! Let me tell you, he did an AMAZING job! I absolutely love my new cut! I've already received so many compliments from everyone I've seen today! I'm so thankful to have found Jesse and this salon! He is amazing, the people are super friendly, the salon is so clean, and it was just an overall great experience! Can't wait to go back! read more

Thank you, Mane Salon, and Nico! You've made me look and feel my absolute best!!! read more

Mane Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Usually get my hair done in California, but was in Chicago for an very extended amount of time and couldn't go on much longer without a touch up. Had been researching color stylists in the Internet for weeks because I'm so protective of my hair! Found Galina and was so excited to get started. This salon requires consultation before the color and I always appreciate that so the stylist isn't going in blind and I can actually feel comfortable with what is happening to my hair. I got a hair cut the same time which was nice. They do a de stress massage and it's amazing. Cut included a blow out, and all together was around $60. Not bad. I came back about a month later for the actual color because Galina was taking time off for vacation. When the day came, the process was very simple. She started painting on the balayge and I just waited to be amazed. I loved what she did to my hair, but do take note, the color only is what is being charged, which for Galina js $200. There is no hair drying/styling including. If you'd like to add that, it's an EXTRA $50. They did tell me this upfront, and I did it, because why go get our hair colored to leave the salon looking like a wet dog? I mean, what if you didn't like the results and couldn't see until you got home? What I did notice as well was Galina does a very basic blow dry. Just brushing the hair straight with a flat brush and blow dry. No big round brush, styling or anything. She also VERY quickly ran my hair through a big barrel curling iron (she said she's so against flat irons) but it was so quick, my hair didn't hold at all, and fell pretty straight as soon as she finished. Which is odd Because I have thick curly hair and usually holds curls very well. Definitely NOT worth the extra $50 in my opinion. I was pretty upset about the lack of effort on that part. I also felt for the amount of bleaching she did to my hair, she could have offered s conditioning treatment, but it wasn't. Oh well I guess. Beware of parking, it sucks. I was searching for 30 minutes before I came in. I probably wouldn't come back here just because I feel like I get more with my usual salon in California. Which in reality, if you're spending over $200 on a hair color (which I also do in California) I feel a blow out and style should definitely be included. read more

I have been a long time fan of Sandra and her work and when I finally was able to get an appointment I was beyond thrilled. The haircut was actually really good however, I'm beyond disappointed with my color service. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and I understand that I won't be as light as I'd like right away but for $290 I should have way more color in my hair than what I walked out with. I am pretty sure she uses filters on her pictures because my hair looks nothing like the picture she posted of my hair. read more

This is a five star salon experience. I came here after another highly rated salon in Bucktown on Damen near the expressway destroyed my hair. When I say destroyed I mean bleached it out to oblivion when we simply discussed all over honey blonde color, only to have me go back later on (two more trips later) to the owner who couldn't figure out how to color the roots. The owner who Instead of bleaching the roots just places high potency color on the roots so then I had this sweet looking discolored line on my head. Seriously disaster. So the first time I had purple lavender white hair like Olivia Clarke in Game of Thrones to more spot on color but then with a weird line on my head where they were inept at matching their work from the prior time. Overall a nightmare on all 4 visits. I will never return but I also won't post a Yelp review on them because they immaturely attack their clientele and Yelp reviewers who post. Needless to say I searched long and hard (Instagram, Facebook, calls to salons to speak with their receptionists, Yelp, etc) to find a salon that utilized high quality products, employed talented and competent stylists, and wasn't downtown. Voila! Mane Salon fit the bill. I first came in for a quick consult with Lauren so she could assess the landscape and deploy a strategy for how to tackle our next appointment. They squeezed me in a couple weeks later and I was at the salon for about three hours, which is usually pretty standard for me. Lauren fixed my hair and did a reverse balyage where instead of painting in blonde she painted in brunette to fuse with my already blonde ends. It turned out a little darker on top than I would have liked (my roots are coming in and are a little lighter) but very close. Overall I recommend this salon, the people who work here know what they are doing (it amazes me how many people call themselves stylists but are completely color inept). I would continue to come here if I lived in Chicago- you're in good hands with all of the stylists here. The environment of the salon is also really nicely done and they play relaxing non-club music. read more

So let me first start off by saying that there is no better feeling then when I have an appointment scheduled with Mariella and Tiffany. They both have been doing my hair for the last 4 years and if they ever have to stop for some life reason I may cry. (Which almost happened and I've never been so upset) Mariella makes me feel like a new woman. When I want a complete change in color she knows exactly what to do. I can't thank her enough for always doing such an amazing job with my color. Tiffany has no easy job with me. My hair is so damn thick. It actually makes me feel like I have a weight on my head. There has never been a time Tiffany hasn't cut my hair and made me literally feel like that weight has been lifted. She is a miracle worker. Mane salon is a beautiful salon. Everyone who works there makes it such a comfortable atmosphere. Love the vibe. If you are in the market for a new salon check it out. you will not regret your experience with Mariella and Tiffany. read more

Before I even start my review, just call already and book an appointment! Ha. Seriously, though, this place is magic. I have long, thick, dark brown hair that's naturally wavy and I had been wanting to get Balayage for some time now, but deciding who to trust with my hair seemed like an impossible task! So I checked on YELP and could not believe the praise Mane got, especially with their stylists abilities for Balayage. So I called and made an appt with Lauren and oh my goodness...best thing I ever did. I had never been to Mane before or to any of the stylists, and I went in for a (complimentary) consultation to meet Lauren and talk about what I wanted to do with my hair. Right away we hit it off and in those fifteen minutes of talking with her I learned so much about color and balayage and how it works and what expectations to have for my own hair. She was so lovely and friendly and knowledgeable and it just felt like a perfect match. (And the salon itself was so beautiful and open and had such a cool feel about it.) A few weeks later I went in for my cut and balayage and I left feeling like a million bucks. I've always had dark hair, which I've loved, but I was ready for a change and really wanted a blonde, beachy feel to it for summer and I really could not be happier. My hair looks AMAZING and I thought I might freak out a bit to have it look so different but I just love it so much. (So much!) I get a million compliments and seriously, I just could not be happier. And aside from how talented and awesome Lauren is, the entire staff at Mane was just incredibly lovely. Everyone there made me feel so welcome and comfortable. Who knew spending four hours in a salon could be so fun! So thank you, Lauren, for sharing your amazing talent with me and thank you Mane for making me feel so at home. I can't wait to go back! read more

Wonderful experience with Kelly! This was my first time here and she exceeded my expectations. My hair looks so amazing now. I needed a color correction and wasn't even sure what anyone can do but she definitely made it happen! Thank you talented lady! read more

Mane is a fabulous salon and I can't get over how great of a job Sheri does on my brows. I'm sure there are a lot of bad eyebrow sob stories out there about how they'll never grow back after going tweeze crazy in high school. That would be me... Until Sheri took a look. A few waxes later and the missing spots were starting to grow back in, and I really attribute that to her meticulous sculpting and the extensive amount of time she takes to make them PERFECT. I'll never go to anyone else. She's the best in Chicago! Mane Salon has been a lifesaver from head to toe. The salon as a whole is so chic, so welcoming and has the most talented staff. Colleen is a breath of fresh air every time you arrive. She greets you with a huge personality and is always super attentive to your every need. And I mean EVERY need. I was getting my eyebrows sculpted with Sheri before a charity event, bent forward to grab something and tore the entire side of my gown (whoops). Colleen rushed to find a stylist who doubled as a seamstress (lol) - cue, Sandra. Sandra sewed me up as Sheri sculpted my brows and another stylist touched up my curls. Talk about royal treatment. Fast forward a month, I booked a cut with Sandra and couldn't be happier in my decision. I have very long hair and I'm always afraid a stylist will cut too much off. Sandra was so knowledgeable, meticulously addressed all my concerns and gave me the best haircut to date. My hair feels so healthy and voluminous. On top of it, she really understands how to tame wavy/curly hair types. If you want a stylist who is attentive and talented, see Sandra! read more

I don't have enough words to express my appreciation for Galina as a hair stylist. I have been seeing her for 4 years, following her from when she was working at diferent spot to now where she works at MANE salon! Before Galina, I would hop around different stylists - never really enjoying the experience. With Galina, everything has changed. Not only do I consider her a master with hair (and trust her completely with my hair!) but I have also come to consider Galina is a friend and dear person. Over the years, I have gotten to know Galina and I only have the kindest regards for her.She has welcomed me into her beloved chair (it's a beauty!). I've been platinum blond for over 5 years,on the beginnings it was very hard to fined the write person who can turn my dark brawn roots in to platinum blonde without spending 4hours at the salon and damaging the rest of my hair. She has proven to be a great hair colorist. I always look forward to seeing her!! No matter the gender, no matter the style, no matter the hair - Galina is the stylist The prices are spot on, the location is convenient, the atmosphere is relaxed. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! read more

Lauren is the best. I have been a client of hers for 3 or 4 years--the longest I have ever been dedicated to one stylist. She does a fantastic job making recommendations and cutting my hair in a way that suites me well. We've done a range of color including ombre and more recently she's made my brunette hair a beautiful blonde. She has also given me like the best updo I've ever had for a wedding. Not to mention she is just a fantastic gal. It's evident that Lauren is passionate about what she does. It seems like she is always continuing her education and trying new techniques. I have recommended Lauren to a number of friends and will continue to do so. read more

Jesse cut my hair beautifully! He started the appointment with a face to face consultation and truly listened and responded. I made my 6 month appointment! Cash only/encouraged tip. Great customer service, apparent that the model and culture of the salon is well facilitated. read more

Balayage with Tracy. It's my first time doing it and it will be my go-to from now on. I had an amazing customer experience at Mane as well as coming out completely obsessed with my color. I had requested another stylist based on yelp reviews, and when I showed up it turned out that the stylist in question had had some kind of car trouble and was stranded and unable to make it in. The front desk women were extremely concerned and apologetic about this, offering me another stylist who was available and also comping part of the service as an apology for the inconvenience. It turns out that I couldn't be happier with Tracy, so I have zero complaints! FYI: Balayage takes a while to do, and so while you are paying a lot for it, it's also taking hours of the stylist's time. I described the look I wanted and Tracy went to work. After the balayage was complete (which looked beautiful) I realized that I actually had not described that I wanted a significant chunk of the front section to be a lighter blonde. When I told Tracy this, she went back in and put in some additional highlights in the front (adding a good hour and a half to the total service time) and never complained once about it. The result is absolutely beautiful and perfect, and I can't believe how far out of her way she went to do this for me just to make sure the color was exactly what I wanted. So, I have found my Chicago hairstylist. I noticed that Tracy hasn't really been mentioned in Yelp reviews yet - FYI I'm guessing that is because she recently moved to Chicago... but has been doing balayage for 10+ years. So basically you're getting a top stylist without a 3 week wait. Do it. read more

So I have naturally really dark hair, and went blondish with darker roots about two years ago. I got a little too cocky in my at home hair toning skills, and *shocker* completely ruined my hair. The entire top of my hair was a horrendous orangey color and the bottoms (lightest part of my hair) turned silver with a green tint. Literally as soon as I dried my hair, I stalked top rated Chicago salons (wanted to try a new stylist, my current one was always way too rushed throughout the appointments and gave me anxiety) and chose Mane Salon. I booked my appointment and was told the stylist's name was Tiffany. She. Is. Amazing! On my first visit, she completely fixed my hair back to what it was before, but I wanted to bring the blonde up a bit higher. We did a partial balayage, touch up, hair cut, hair treatment, and blowout. It ended up being a bit pricey but I mean, I was getting the works done, completely understandable. She worked on my hair for almost 4 hours and was so great about everything. When we finished, we both agreed that the newly pre-lightened parts of my hair weren't as ashy as we would like, but very pretty nonetheless. I made a second appointment for two weeks later to get more ashiness in. Two weeks later, Tiffany does her magic and I kid you not she did not let me leave that salon until I was completely and fully satisfied with my hair. My hair has never felt and looked so healthy before, and the color is spot on. I've been getting non stop compliments on my hair, and that makes me lover her even more lol I will definitely be coming back to her, I can't stop recommending her and Mane Salon enough. read more

I recently had a color correction appointment with Megan after a humiliating ombre-gone-wrong at another highly rated Chicago salon. I expected her to look at the bottom third of my long hair - bleached yellow, uneven, and spotty - and tell me that it would be impossible to fix, that the only option I had to was to chop it off. Somehow, she completely saved my hair. After a few hours of wizardry (highlights, lowlights, toner, snipping the ends), my hair looked natural again, and actually not far off of the "goal" photo I had showed to the original stylist. Overall, an extremely positive experience. Will definitely be returning! read more

Mane Salon - Color correction before/after - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tiffany is truly a master, color or cut! If you're looking for the most precise cut you've ever had, look no further. Wild color dreams? She's taken me from full platinum, to every shade of pastel, all the way back to a natural and gorgeous red (a color I never thought I'd find the right tone of). The rest of the crew at Mane is incredible, too. I always enjoy my time at the salon (and with my hair color tastes, that's sometimes a multi hour process), chatting with the stylists and staff. Coffee and cappuccinos are always available, the atmosphere is relaxing, and cool girl Jackie at the front desk always makes me smile. Highly recommend. read more

I went to Mane Salon because I have been going to the same stylist in my home town for the last 15 years and just can't make the journey out there for a haircut all the time. I am super picky about the styling and cut of my hair, but needed to get my hair done on this day. I was assured I'd be in good hands with Tiffany. Tiffany did an amazing job! She really took the time on my hair and styled it so simple but it was perfect! I will definitely be returning as the customer service was excellent as well! read more

I called Mane salon after a stylist fried my hair. I have been living in Chicago for the last 8 years. My first hair stylist experience in the city was awful and I found by chance an awesome hair stylist who fixed the damages and I have been loyal to her for the last 7 years. Unfortunately I moved to the southloop and it was a all day dedicated to my hair as soon as I was going to her (she is In the north side and slow because so meticulous). As I am expecting my first baby I knew I had to find a more practical (so closer) place. Last week I decided to give a shot to the next door salon as one of the owner is a client of my husband's gym and the salon had a lot of 5 stars on Yelp. Oh my! The dude had no idea what he was doing and literally fried my hair. I asked him to light up my ombré (that I had done last in Nov) because the color was simply tired and he just fucked up my hair and was even happy about his work. I couldn't say anything cause he is my husband s client but I was furious. I called Mane salon and talked to Colleen who booked me the same day for a consultation with Megan. Let me tell you that the girl is simply awesome. She knows what she is doing and simply saved my hair and my pride at the same time. I was looking for a new salon closer of me and even if I had to go to a crazy so called "hair stylist" fist, I am glad i end up To find Mane and Megan. She has a new loyal client line up. Only down side is the pricing. Mane is really expensive. I will say that you pay for what you get: "awesome hair"! read more

Today I got a blow out, my hair curled, and a bang trim from Tara and it couldn't be more perfect. She totally nails the soft loose curls I see on Instagram and try (and fail) to do on myself. She also gave me a cool, stylish bang that works with my face shape. I've been seeing Tara for all my cut and styling needs for 6 years and there's nobody else I'd let take a scissor to my bangs!! She's the best! Thank you! read more

Mane Salon - If only my hair looked like this every day - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

UPDATE: The Stylist called me following my review, apologized and offered me a free blowout. I think that was incredibly professional and I do appreciate the gesture, but I'm going to return to Salon Buzz. In the 4 years that I have been getting my hair done at Salon Buzz I have never had a poor customer service experience. I never should have tried something new. Best of luck. Mane Salon! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I hate to write a negative review, as I work in hospitality and completely understand that people have bad days or there are usually extenuating circumstances, whatever... But I had a really poor experience here. I signed up for Yelp just now, so I could write this. When I made the appointment I told the receptionist that I had to find a new salon, because my previous stylist (at a different salon) had unexpectedly moved. I also informed her that I had hot heads extensions that needed to be removed ASAP, as they were almost 8 weeks old already (hot heads extensions should only be left in your head 6-8 weeks--ideally 6). The receptionist said, "No problem! We will book you for a blow out and you can conduct your consultation at that time." I responded, "Are you sure? It typically takes at least 30 minutes to remove the extensions. These are probably less manageable, as they have been in my hair longer than recommended. Not to mention I am a new client." She assured me that my hour long appointment would be just fine. I made my appointment for 4 days later. I will start by admitting that I arrived to my 6:00 PM appointment at 6:08 PM. I was late and completely understand that a stylist's entire evening can be affected by one late client--even if it's only 8 minutes. I would have been more than happy to reschedule (and pay a fee for rescheduling if there was one) due to my tardiness, if they thought that was necessary. Upon arrival though, my stylist told me no worries and proceeded with the appointment. I took my hair down and she seemed surprised at the condition of my extensions. I told her that they were almost 10 weeks old and apologized for the condition. I didn't bother to tell her that I forewarned the receptionist when I made the appointment. She said, "I typically don't charge much to remove extensions, because they come out quickly, but yours look like they'll be more work, so I'm probably going to charge you more." I responded, "I understand. Not a problem. I can absolutely pay more." My stylist gets to work and I see her looking at the clock. She then pulls over the receptionist to assist her. I asked the receptionist if she was a stylist too. She replied, "No." I'm no expert, but I really don't think anyone would feel comfortable having a receptionist, with no cosmetology experience, working on their hair. The two girls are perfectly friendly. I want that to be clear, but they're talking now and my stylist says to the receptionist, " I normally wouldn't be in a hurry, but I need to leave here at 7 PM--not a minute later." Knowing that I was 8 minutes late, and the removal process is taking longer than she thought, I apologize again. Very sweetly, she says, "OMG no problem! normally I would be happy to stay late I just NEED to leave in 30 minutes. Don't worry we'll get you all taken care of." I persist and say, "Really--I don't need a blow out. If you could just get the rest of the extensions out I will be more than happy to wash my hair when I get home." She persists that she will figure something out, so I'm leaving with a blow dry. At this point (it is 6:30 PM) a couple of other stylists are done for the day, sitting in their station chairs, the one next to me is talking on her phone about her plans for the evening... At 6:45 PM my stylist moves me to wash my hair and sits me down to blow dry my hair at 6:55 PM. I'm feeling so uncomfortable knowing she has to leave in 5 minutes. She blow drys my hair, just so it is dry, no style whatsoever. I beg her to stop--and she does--because she made it very clear that she needs to be somewhere following my appointment. I get up to pay and tip 40%, because when all was said and done, I was feeling like this disaster of an appointment was my fault. I'm even considering to come back in and give this girl another chance to make a ton of money off me--between hair cuts, color AND extensions. And the cherry on top of this bummer of an appointment ... My stylist is about to leave and says, "Thanks Jessica! I hope I'll see you back soon!" My name is Jaclyn. I will never be returning to or recommending Mane Salon. read more

I was petrified to get a haircut after my previous salon, I never felt heard and didn't walk away with a hairstyle and felt so discouraged... enter Mane Salon! I felt so valued, heard, and most importantly walked away with an amazing style. Tiffany was who cut my hair, and she really made sure to listen to me. I've gotten SO many compliments already! I'm now a loyal customer~~ thanks so much for giving me a style I feel confident in! read more

I've been walking past Mane since they first started developing the space for the salon, and have been dying to go. When they opened, I could see that the inside is beyond gorgeous and the atmosphere always looks so welcome as I walk by. I finally got a chance to book a haircut with Nico today, and I'm so glad I did. The staff is friendly and welcoming, starting you out with an offer of water, coffee, or wine; the atmosphere is as wonderful as it looked... I've sincerely never been in a salon that is this beautiful and warm; and my haircut was absolutely perfect. There was no attempt to sell me tons of hair products or force me to book an appointment exactly 6 weeks from today, both of which happen frequently at other salons, and which are total turnoffs for me. Short story: Fantastic. I'll definitely be back! read more

Saw Megan for the first time last after a bad haircut and subpar color at a different salon. She listened to my concerns, asked my likes and dislikes and made a plan! Great color and a fabulous cut, didn't over sell the products and she has a fabulous personality which makes you feel at ease, Very friendly vibe to the entire place and conversation was taking place amongst all the clients and stylist which was refreshing. Yeah, this place is a little pricey but so far as I can tell, totally worth it! My only complain/\warning... cash only tips. Totally fine but I wasn't told ahead of time, which is inconvenient since I don't carry cash. They were cool about it, I was/am mortified. read more

I always get nervous before coming to a new salon, but this was one of the best salon experiences I've ever had! All staff members are so kind and helpful, and I got legitimately the best haircut I've ever had. Sandra is the best! She gave me exactly what I asked for and helped me to decide what would look best on me. Absolutely worth the price point due to how high quality of an experience it is, I definitely recommend coming here especially if your hair is thick or difficult to cut. read more

It sucks that I live in California, have went to over six salons throughout the Bay Area and haven't been able to find anyone as talented as Tracy at Mane Salon in Chicago! She was extremely patient and communicated everything to me before we got started to make sure we were on the same page and then as she was about to do the next step throughout the process. I went in for a color correction and balayage. She did such an amazing job. My hair is naturally black so I was afraid that it was going to be fried and fall out like previous times when other stylists have tried to lighten my naturally dark hair. It definitely was not the case. I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair! I love it. Thank you Tracy!! Now I'm trying to figure out when I'm going to come back for my touch up in 12 weeks ;) read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but my experience was too positive not to share! The wonderfully talented and personable Lauren gave me an all over color, partial balayage, and a trim to my layers last week and I couldn't have left the salon any happier! Sometimes I've found that hair stylists can be overbooked and a little frantic at other places, but Lauren took every measure to make me feel like I was treating myself and I never felt rushed. All of the staff there seemed both really dedicated to their jobs and laid back, which you don't find very often. I've been to many salons in the city, but I think I've found my spot :) read more

I visited many different salons in Chicago but none of them were what I was looking for. A month ago, I decided that it was time for a new look; the color of my hair was becoming very sad and gloomy. I found myself needing to find a new salon and came across "Mane Salon". I called Monday to schedule an appointment for upcoming Saturday, but I was told that only open space they have is in a month. I decided to book that appointment. My appointment was booked with Galina. I was really excited to get my hair finally done. Saturday when I came for my appointment, I was greeted by a friendly receptionist; she took my coat, offering me a beverage and making sure I'm comfortable. Even though I came half hour earlier, Galina took me right away. Galina is simply amazing; she listened to what I wanted, gave her input and turned out an amazing Balayage. As well as doing a great coloring, she also gives a wonderful, fresh cut that leaves my hair looking and feeling healthy. She made my experience very pampering. I have to add, as well, that while being the best hair stylist I've found in Chicago, she's so personable and genuine. I was absolutely thrilled with the end result. My hair is now the healthiest it's ever been! I strongly recommend Galina for all your hair needs. She's awesome)))) Warning: If you are in need of a haircut, book your appointment a month or so in advance. read more

I've been going to Kelsey for just over 4 years (we confirmed at today's appt.) and she is the Best! Not only is she great at what she does (cut and color) but she's knowledgeable, easy to talk to and always gives you exactly what you ask for. She's the only person I'd let chop my long locks to a lob. I followed Kelsey over from the last salon she worked at and I'm so glad that I did because this place is super cute, comfy and warm. Plus there's chocolate at the front desk. Thank you for always keeping my hair on point, Kelsey! Also worth mentioning there's plenty of street parking available. read more

Rachel A is amazing!! I came in with 4 month outgrown highlights and hip length, stringy ends and she sent me out with beautiful, fresh blonde locks. She was friendly and personable and really made my experience enjoyable. My hair tends to take a very very long time to do due to its length and tangles and even though my appointment ran into her next appointment, she never made me feel rushed. The salon was cute and clean, and I loved the way my hair looked when I left. Thanks Mane and thanks Rachel A! read more

I had a terrible experience last week at a different salon in Lincoln Park. I asked for golden blonde balayage and got a full highlight that came out orange and she absolutely fried my hair. I called Mane Salon and asked for Megan because I saw her amazing reviews on yelp. SHE IS AMAZING, A BALAYAGE GOD! She completely fixed my hair and did it exactly the way I wanted it. It was expensive but I bought product that she recommended that is great. She did not over sell and she was absolutely fabulous! I recommend this salon 1000%. WORTH EVERY PENNY! read more

Tracy is the best hair artist I've ever met. I always wanted to have highlights, but I never have the courage to do it because I have very dark hair. First when we met, she listened me very carefully to figure out what I had in my mind.

Actually, the worst layered haircut of my life. I don't think it's that hard to do layers, but I looked awful. Very disappointed with my haircut, and now I have to get it fixed somewhere else or let it grow out for around 3 months. It's extremely frustrating. read more

Mane Salon - Thank you Tracy! I love it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been working with Mallory Seisser as my stylist for about 5 years now. I met her when I walked into a salon in the south loop and have followed her to each salon that she has moved to over the course of the years. I would have to say that Mane Salon is my favorite salon that she's worked at by far and I recommend everyone to go to Mallory!!! She is one of the most well educated stylists about products and industry trends and I know and once she gets familiar with your hair and personal style, she will be able to read your mind and can do wonders for anyone I've referred 4 of my friends to her and because they loved what she was able to do with their hair, they left their other stylists and only see Mallory, now. Mallory is amazing at color and and I love the new the products she gets to work with at Mane Salon! Drop in and ask for Mallory. You won't be dissapointed. read more

Mariella is amazing! I have thick coarse asian hair that so many stylists dont know how to work with. My hair stylist of 12 years moved to Norway and I had no choice but to find another stylist. I went to Mariella after my recent super botched haircut! The layers were uneven and choppy and what seemed impossible to fix (without chopping off my hair) was corrected by Mariella. She spent the first 15 minutes listening to my concerns and wants and explained what she would do to my hair which made me very comfortable. Throughout the cutting process, She would explain to me exactly what she was cutting and asked me multiple times my opinion before she moved on. I loved that she did that as I have been traumatized by bad haircuts. She is caring, attentive, patient and skilled. I am very happy with my haircut! think I found my new hair stylist:) :) read more

Christine did an amazing job!! I'm a red head so it's hard for stylist to get it the color I want but she did it exactly how I wanted! She really takes her time and makes sure your happy with the results. She is also super personable and makes the salon a fun time :) highly recommend!! read more
