Lorenzo is simply the best, and I cannot recommend him enough…read more He truly knows how to work with wavy hair -- my cuts and blowouts always come out incredible -- but what sets him apart is how much he actually pays attention. I went through a period of hair loss and was growing my hair back, and Lorenzo was with me every step of the way. At one appointment, someone had told me I was experiencing breakage, but Lorenzo took one look and knew it was actually new growth. That kind of expertise and attentiveness meant the world to me. Beyond his skill, he's just a genuinely good person. He's down to earth, listens to what you want, and meets you where you are -- whether that's a specific look you're working toward or a hair journey that takes time and patience. His scalp massages are incredibly relaxing, and every appointment feels like you're in the hands of someone who truly cares. If you're looking for a stylist who treats you like a real person and actually delivers -- Lorenzo is your guy.

They have a speaker there so we could connect our own playlist too. It's a perfect atmosphere and exactly what I was looking for. When booking, I understood that it would be a private event, but one of the hairdressers had appointments all morning. We were there from 8-12:30 and there was at least one stranger there with us the entire time. Michelle did come up and apologize for the schedule confusion, which I appreciated. Prices. Bride's trial hair and makeup is $60 per service. Day of for party was $60 for Updos, $60 for makeup. Day of for bride was $120 hair, $120 makeup. I have short hair so asked her if we could come down so she charged $60 for my hair which was nice. Everyone was super nice and great at their job, we all left happy. Michelle kept checking in with me to make sure all was well and making sure we didn't need anything. She took photos for us, even offered us umbrellas because it started to sprinkle as we were leaving. So sweet. Burta did most everyone's makeup and she was seriously incredible. Super talented. I had a strapless dress and asked if she would contour my neck and chest as well. She killed it. Loved her so much. Overall, great place and talented people. Would recommend !

I have longer hair and it's a lot of work, so these visits are a nice break. The best part though is this: I always walk away feeling heard and beautiful. I've seen various stylists since I started going and have yet to have a bad experience. I won't lie, I have my faves, but anyone you get will do an amazing job and give you an overall great experience. So far, everyone I've come in contact with who works there is kind, courteous, passionate about what they do, and truly cares about the clients and delivering what they want or need and at a VERY reasonable price to boot!

I brought my own extensions to be put in and they were placed horrendously. My curls were loose and disorganized. They tried charging me an additional $15 for an extended blowdry, but I was finished in under an hour. The stylist did end up removing this charge. I had to pin my hair back to blend my extensions and re-curl every piece of hair. I then felt a crunchy section of hair at the nape of my neck and I realized this was because my stylist didn't fully rinse my hair....such a terrible service and experience.

My daughter and I have been doing the magic sleek (a defrizzing, straightening treatment) on our…read morecurly locks for a few years now. We've been happy with our treatment and stylist, but a friend recently switched to Jasmine and said the results were better than ever. My daughter had 2 days home between summer adventures so I figured it was worth trying Jasmine. She was booked when I reached out, but then the week of let me know she had a cancellation and could take her - whoo hoo! The entire process took 4.5 hours, which is long, but crazy enough less than the 5+ hours we usually spend doing this treatment. Jasmine herself was was super friendly and confident that my daughters hair would be better than ever with this treatment. I was hopeful, but skeptical. She got to work right away with a few assistants helping with the process. When I picked up my daughter I was shocked how straight and smooth her hair was after just running a blow dryer thru it for a few minutes. My daughter was thrilled, although she hoped it would be a little wavy after braids since she doesn't like it perfectly straight. She took off for camp the next day, but the only letter I've gotten in the mail is (no joke) "my hair is totally straight." And based on the camp pictures I've been amazed by how well it took to her hair. It looks a little wavy at the ends and I'm guessing she's likely sleeping in braids to get it to curl a bit. We usually have to do this treatment every 5 months. Jasmine thought every 6-12 months, but our roots grow in so curly that I'd be shocked if we could go that long. I'm also interested in trying Jasmine for the magic sleek, but she thought other treatments would be better for my blonde (highlighted) hair like the keratin express. It's tough to please a 13 year old when it comes to hair (and other things), but I think Jasmine did it!

I know absolutely nothing about hairstyling or makeup and she was so helpful and patient, both during the preview and the day of the wedding. She was very responsive to inquiries, and accommodating about my timeline and the fact that I was out of state. She is really knowledgeable, but also listened to find out what I was looking for and then was able to match that to what she thought would look good on me. The day of the wedding, she and Natasha were again really helpful and patient, which was great, as most of the party had little experience with formal hair and makeup. They also made getting ready more fun and less stressful. Everybody was ready on time and looked lovely! I would very much recommend Chicago Hair and Makeup Professionals, and I appreciated all their help!
