I went for a haircut with Jasmine and she absolutely crushed it!! She was so friendly and welcoming, I felt heard when voicing my hair desires and the outcome was even better than I could have imagined. The best haircut I've ever gotten! Will be a repeat customer with her! read more

Book with Milan!!!!! He is the BEST! I just booked with him for the first time and he was one of the most attentive stylists I've ever had. I've gotten so many compliments on my hair, he took the extra time to make sure every detail was perfect and that I walked out with a finished look. I'm not always the best at describing the look I'm going for, but he helped talk me through different options to narrow down the exact style I was hoping for. The salon itself is very nice and has a bright, open concept. I loved that they have free lockers with electronic locks to keep your stuff safe during your appointment. There's also a bunch of a free street parking in the area if you go before 6pm! read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Marianne Strokirk Salon. I booked what I thought was a Partial Foil Highlight, which their website clearly lists starting at $160+. I completely understand that salons use a "level system," but nowhere during booking, check-in, or my appointment did anyone specify what level my stylist was, how that affects pricing, or that my service would cost double the listed price. As a new client, I had no way of knowing that the stylist I booked was considered "top-level." After my appointment, I was charged $465 for what was essentially a partial highlight, toner, and trim. When I called to ask why, I was told the increase was because my stylist was "top-level," which is not mentioned anywhere on their site or booking portal. I asked to speak with the owner and was told they'd call me back, but I never heard back that day. (They did eventually call the following day, likely after seeing my review.) To add to the frustration, my appointment lasted almost three hours -- much of it waiting -- and when I said I needed to leave soon because my parking was expiring, the stylist insisted I had to get a blow dry first "because it's quicker and better to cut that way." I've never heard of needing a blow dry before a haircut, and it felt inconsiderate given I had clearly stated I was on a time constraint. Once again, I thought I was there for a partial foil. I have gotten this done before and between the foiling, blow dry, and hair cut it's never taken more than 2 hours. Update After Their Response: After my initial review, the salon replied publicly saying their pricing is "very transparent," yet in the same message admitted they "cannot quote online for color." Those two statements directly contradict each other -- if you can't quote online, you can't claim transparency. Their website clearly lists starting prices, implying a reasonable estimate. Nowhere during booking or my consultation did anyone tell me I was getting a "Custom Partial" or that it was a separate service from a Partial Foil. If I had known, I would have asked for a pricing estimate, but again the entire time through I assumed I was receiving a partial foil and anticipated paying between $160-$250 for this service based on their websites starting prices. I'll admit it's possible I accidentally selected the wrong option online, but I told both the front desk and the stylist multiple times that I was there for a partial foil, and no one ever corrected me or clarified that it was a more expensive service. Yet they were more than happy to add a haircut to my appointment -- a service I hadn't originally booked -- without any issue. As a first-time client, I wasn't familiar with their booking portal, service categories, or hair-color terminology. I've only colored my hair once before, so I relied on their team to guide me honestly. As someone who works in healthcare, I find this lack of transparency unacceptable. In my field, performing any procedure without informed consent would be considered unethical. The same principle should apply here -- clients deserve to fully understand what they're agreeing to and how much it will cost before the service begins. Just because this is the beauty industry doesn't make deceptive or manipulative practices excusable. After my review went up, the salon quietly edited their website to add "Custom Partial | $253+," a service that did not exist before my appointment or my review. I have dated screenshots showing the site before (Oct 30) and after (Nov 2) the update. The owner then claimed the pricing was "always listed" -- which is simply false. It's one thing to charge more for experience, but it's another to retroactively edit your website to make it look like the information was there all along. That's not transparency -- it's gaslighting. Be cautious booking here. Prices online may not reflect what you'll actually be charged, and in my experience, accountability only came after public criticism, not customer communication. read more

I have been coming to this salon for several years, never had a bad experience until today. One of the colorist said she was not comfortable working with my daughter's hair and seems reluctant to do the work. There was miscommunication and confusion so it made the situation uncomfortable for everyone involved. I asked not to work with her. My daughter also had an appointment with Isaac, which we have seen many other times. Needless to say that he behaved unprofessionally by approaching me to discuss an issue that had nothing to do with him. He took a personal stand and refused to honor my daughter's appointment and proceeded to make personal claims. Never in all these years have ai had an issue at this salon or experienced unprofessional behaviour like this. Bottom line- as a client I was not comfortable with the ambivalent behaviour of the colorist. Isaac was wrong in his stance and out spite cancelling the service was not harmful me but to child who is on the spectrum. So he discriminated her not me. Poor choice on his part. Therefore would not be recommending him or the salon moving forward. Perhaps my stance in not patronizing this business won't be a big deal- but I rather spend my money at a business that will have stylists behave more professionally and not as if they are still in high school. There are many other places and choices and I'll be happy to support them. Today was a poor vibe, terrible attitude, and zero quality. BTW everyone else had a dignified a d professional attitude just not Isaac. read more

I had hair color with Rhi and then a cut with Tyler. Marianne Strokirk is super clean and taking COVID precautions pretty seriously with temperature checks, answering a questionnaire, and spreading out seats throughout the salon which is quite large. All staff and patrons wearing masks as well. I decided to do something bold and knew I wanted to go to Rhi based on a photo I saw on her instagram and from a friend's referral (there is a first time referral discount!). Rhi was really reassuring and triple checking changing my hair something so bold is what I wanted. The process went by really quick. I did a partial balayage in EMERALD. I will admit it was very bright emerald which a lot of dimension so some spots were on the lime green side. I think my ideal was a dark emerald, but that was in fault of Rhi's because it's not what I asked for and she honestly made the process so seamless. Looking back at the pictures, the color was stunning in the ring light. She was really attentive and easy-going to talk to! I also want to give a shout out to Tyler for the gorgeous cut where he was able to frame my face perfectly and give me the long bangs and layers I desired without my direction. I would 100% recommend Rhi and Tyler!! The prices are high NGL but comparable to salons in the area. read more

DISGHUSTING HIGHLIGHT JOB BY BRAXTON Please look at the attached wish photos so you can see what I asked for vs what I received. These are the worst highlights I've ever seen, not only did the hairstylist not listen to what I wanted, he completely did his own thing. I paid $270 for this mess. The highlights are way too chunky and messy and uneven at that. He didn't even ask me how I parted my hair he just started grabbing random pieces of hair instead of separating the hair to be highlighted. I have to pay to have them covered and completely redone elsewhere so this ended up costing me more money. The manager said that she was completely happy with my hair and that there was nothing wrong with it. Don't come here because they will botch your hair and refuse to give you any of your money back, this place is a joke. read more

first time at a salon since moving to Chicago. Beautiful salon and met Susan, the woman who would be cutting my hair. I get my hair cut about once a year and it was absolutely dead so I needed a freshen up. Susan listened to my suggestions but truly I just left it up to her expertise. She killed it and nailed the vision i had in my head. Big shout out to Susan, I will absolutly be going back to her again! read more

I've been going to Marianne Strokirk for over 30 years. I worked in Chicago when Marianne started cutting my hair. I have since retired, live in the Northwest Suburbs and still drive in every 4 weeks for my haircut. Marianne is a talented hair stylist who keeps up with all the latest trends. The staff is friendly and professional and I would not go anywhere else. Peg W. read more

I wanted to update my review. I am still just as big, if not more, a fan of Mimi. I have never had a bad color. She is amazing at making me look natural and make my "glitter" disappear without covering it up. It's been 13 years and I am looking forward to many more. In the past few years, I have also started seeing Cristina for my hair cut. She does an amazing job as well. My cuts grow out nicely and I can wait to go back when I feel my hair is getting too long. This was the case over Covid. My hair ended up being extra long. It definitely needed a refresher (the ends were more than frayed), but the cut held. Cristina is as comfortable with short and long hair. I greatly recommend both Mimi and Cristina for anything your hair may need. read more

Im not a karen ... but worst hair experience in my life BOTH times i went 1st time apt with Rhi i arrived 15 min early and checked in ... the receptionist was beyond rude!! I was the only person in the waiting area and i wasnt taken back up 45 min after my apt. time. They continued to ignore me as i told the receptionist my apt was 20 ago.. 40 min ago etc... and they rolled their eyes the salon was not busy. and through the glass i saw my stylists fooling around making tik toks ....she along with several people saw me waiting and did nothing ... after all of that a very rushed apt and $300-400 later..... 2nd time with MiMi i chose a different stylist hoping the experience would be better... we agreed on an inspo pic partial balayage ... only for my hair to come out the EXACT same color as when I walked in... she offered to fix it for free and i went back in 10 days later ... and the picture below is what I have now AFTER she corrected it. .... I have an ELSA stripe HORRIBLE also around $300 for this read more

Rhi @donebyrhi is below average job with customer service and color. The request was for Sarah Jessica Parker highlights and the color started at my chin instead of my roots. Paid $500 and my hair look like it is 4 months grown out. Would caution to what people see on Instagram. There is a reason she has people sign contracts and it is because it is overpriced and she does not deliver. Would NOT recommend. Side note: Dennis Bartolomei Salon always delivers and when there is an edit or adjustment that needs to be done, they welcome you back with open arms. read more

Madeline Brady is one of the best colorist in the city. I am very picky about my blonde color and she always gets it right.

Highly recommend booking an appointment with Maddie! read more

I have been with Marianne Strokirk Salon for 35 years. I find it to be a comfortable and unstuffy salon with high quality staff and I do not see Marianne as a stylist. I have read some of the less than reviews on Yelp, and I have not had the experiences of some of those reported. The key to having a good salon experience is to be very clear about what you are looking for in a result (a picture can be interpreted in different ways by different people - we all see things differently) and don't expect receptionist's to roll out the carpet for you - maybe you could roll out the carpet for them every once in a while. They are often the most overlooked staff at a salon - most of them can't afford to get their hair done at places like Strokirk so maybe check your attitudes before you check-in or at least be empathetic of their perspective. I highly recommend Bonnie for cuts and styles and Ashley for color. Jac the color assistant to Ashley, does a phenomenal job applying the finishing touches and removing excess color in addition to giving a great shampoo. Parking is convenient with an attached garage and discounted parking and the salon offers a variety of services and products. read more

Just received the BEST highlights in years...or possibly ever...from Jayden. He responded to my Salon Apprentice inquiry. You never know what to expect using a platform like Salon Apprentice, but I figure, it's just hair, right? Wow, did I luck into something awesome! I could not be more thrilled! Jayden's attention to detail is impeccable. He even used techniques I've never received before and they made a big difference! My color is so dimensional and he even added some killer curls for the photo-op. I left feeling fabulous about myself. All of the staff is fun and personable which really added to the experience. I will definitely be back, and I hope the salon knows what great talent it is fostering! read more

I've been going to Marianne Strokirk for the last 5 years ever since Rhi (@donebyrhi) started at the salon, and every experience I've ever had has been nothing short of amazing! She always makes sure to ask the right questions and accommodate what I'm looking for, and has greatly educated me on the hair-dying process. She's always been super clear that it's tough to know how my (or anyone's) hair will lift/react to different processes no matter how experienced the colorist is, and posts educational videos and graphics about this on her Instagram. I've always left the salon feeling absolutely gorgeous and happy with the result, and when I return and give her feedback with what small items I'd like to change from my last session, she makes sure to apply the feedback to the current session. I'll never trust or go to anyone else for my hair coloring needs after going to Rhi the last 5 years. In the last 2 years, I also found an amazing stylist in Lois (@glowwith_lo). I initially saw her to style my hair after Rhi's color a couple of years ago, and she really knew how to make the color pop! So the next time, I tried her for a cut and loved the result, so have been going to her ever since. There was also a time when I had an appointment that was closer to home for my engagement photos last year and unfortunately the stylist had to cancel a couple of days before, so I reached out to Lois for an updo (half up/half down hair with big curls) for our photos and I was blown away with the result and her ability to accommodate. All in all, Marianne Strokirk really knows how to hire and train the best talent! I'll never go anywhere else. read more

Honestly? Save your time and money and go somewhere else. It's just not worth paying $500. You can get the better quality, level of service, and overall salon experience somewhere else with more bang for your buck. I had a balayage by Rhi and a haircut by Violet and they're both...okay. The balayage is pretty but it was pretty at the other salon I went to before trying this one out too. The haircut is definitely ugly but I'm not one to cry over spilled milk. A bad haircut is a bad haircut -- throw it in a ponytail and it'll grow out in a couple of months. It's not the end of the world, especially in a pandemic where nobody is really seeing it. What's really upsetting is what you have to pay for mediocre results. I find $400 for an okay balayage and $100 for a bad haircut to be way too much. I spent $500 at this salon to walk out and look in my car mirror and say "Eh. Guess it'll grow out in a few months." So some technical things: the balayage was $350 and then there was an added charge for toner (which I have never seen added ON TOP of a balayage service cost) and a protein treatment (which I was not told was being added or given the option to opt-out of). I came in for a touch-up because it had been 4 months since my last balayage and it looks...pretty much the same. I came home and my roommate asked me if I decided to skip the balayage and just get my hair cut which is not what you want to hear after dropping that much money lol. After that, my stylist was late so I sat on the bench by the hair dryers after my color with my sopping wet hair for over half an hour waiting for her. To be quite honest, being kept waiting so long with nobody even checking in on me and then having to pay $100 for a service that took less than the time I waited really irked me. As for the haircut......I asked for a few face framing layers but really stressed that I have fine hair and don't want it to look thin. Her solution to that was to basically put short layers in the front half of my head and then a blunt cut on the last layer, which is two inches longer than the other layers. I truly cannot emphasize how bad it looks I won't be going back to this salon. I don't mind spending a hefty amount of money on hair services, but they have to be worth the price tag and they just are not here. read more

The stylist was very personable but my special event hair styling was awful. I wouldn't return to the salon. Overpriced and underwhelming.

Extremely disappointed with the hair results and professionalism I found this salon through IG. I got my hair done by Jillian at Marianne Strokirk Salon in Chicago. Her IG page displays several pictures of women with beautifully colored hair. From this, I assumed she would be the right person for me but that was not the case. My hair did not turn out like any of the blondes she had posted on her IG. I showed her my inspiration picture, and she suggested highlights with a toner. I wanted to be a blonde but still keep my dark roots. I basically wanted my natural hair color acts as my lowlight. I had assumed this is what I needed to get done to achieve the look from the picture I showed her. Unfortunately, I did not get the results I wanted. My hair was more on the yellow side with light orange highlights. My roots ended up orange too! It did not look like the picture at all. I kept thinking maybe my hair will look better in the light. I paid over $250 plus tip. I don't like giving bad reviews but I am disappointed in the results and the professionalism on how she handled the situation. I contacted her expressing that I was not happy with the results and that I had to get my hair fixed somewhere else which cost me $400. I thought she would at least apologize and offer some type of compensation to offset the additional cost I had to endure. I am highly disappointed and sad that she didn't handle this in a more professional manner. I would not recommend this colorist for blondes. read more

I'm honestly very dissapointed. I wish the Salon would have disclosed during the booking process that hair dry was not included in the service rather than notifying me while they were already working on my hair. I was told I could dry my own hair otherwise I would have to pay an additional $175. Stylist was awesome but I wish the front desk was friendlier. I went in with Joggers as I wanted to feel comfortable and warm but Receptionist made me feel unwelcome when I first arrived and by the time of payment, she never said "thank you" as she was doing with the other customers . Paid almost $200.00. I'm not stingy with any services I purchase but I do wish the receptionist would've been friendlier and treated everyone equally. read more

Mimi is the best! I've been trusting her with my color (and all hair-related questions & concerns!) for over a decade. I love her so much I followed her from her old salon to Marianne Strokirk, which is a lovely, bright salon full of friendly employees. I appear on national TV regularly so I rely on Mimi to keep my color looking great -- and she even helped me buy and match Halo hair extensions that have totally changed my look. Would recommend Mimi and this salon to everyone. read more

I love love love this salon. It's chic and very modern when you walk in. The reception desk, Jeanette and Ale, are so friendly and accommodating when you walk in. I normally see Jordan & Jillian to cut and color my hair and have been with them for over a year now. Jillian always takes me to the lightest I always want to be and continues to keep the integrity of my hair good. Rhi is a fabulous colorist as well. Jillian and Rhi both tag teamed my last appointment to tackle 6 months of root growth. Jordan always cuts just what I want and need. Never too much, just a clean up with beautiful layers and movement to my hair. My hair used to be very dense and she was able to make it lighter. This also helped my color even better. I've seen Violet as well before, for trims when Jordan's not available as well as to style my hair. These girls are my hair dream team. The never fail to disappoint me or any of the people I send in. You should stop looking for another salon and come in to see these women! This place is cash tips only, but there's an ATM in the back and parking valet in the building as well! read more

From the entrance to the chair, my experience at this salon has been nothing short of welcoming. You can tell the talent here prides themselves on their work. I'm a long-time client of Rhi at Marianne Strokirk. From my first appointment to my latest, she's always taken the time to listen to my vision and works diligently to make sure I am happy with my results. She develops the formulas/mixes best for my hair; I'm always impressed at how she nails it. I've left straight from the salon to a dinner date; I trust the team there to make sure I feel good when I leave. You can tell Rhi cares a lot! I usually drive to my appointments, and parking is not difficult if you plan ahead. read more

I found Marianne Strokirk from a recommendation from a friend. Right when you walk in you are greeted by a modern, sleek, clean, and beautiful floor of mirrors and vanity lighting. Such a beautiful salon. I first came in for a hair consultation with my stylist Jillian. She made me feel very comfortable speaking about what I wanted done to my hair. We discussed together what would look best for me and the options I had to improve the longevity of the color as well and increase time between touch up appointments. I usually am a person who hates when their natural hair color (black) is coming in because I currently am blonde and I hate the harsh contrast between black and blonde hair. Jillian took her time during my hair appointment and I could tell that it was going to be amazing as soon as she started. I have a lot of hair so I felt so bad that she had to put so many foils in my hair and had to refill her color multiple times!! Sorry girl!! Before I came in I was getting single color processes, (only getting my roots touched up) every 4 weeks so my hair was brassy and orangey. She had to do some major color correcting and put in low and highlights. Jillian blended the color of the roots so well with the blonde, it has now been 4 weeks and the out growth still doesn't look bad because of how well she did blending. I'm so happy with my results and recommend Jillian for color. She is polite and friendly and also very cute as a bonus! I can't wait to be back in the salon soon for more blonde as summer comes!! read more

Obsessed with how my hair turned out! The front desk staff were easy to talk to and helped with coordinating scheduling for my friend and I to get our hair treatment and cuts done. We had to book during two separate dates because of the availability of who we preferred to get our hair done by. I was able to get my hair cut with Jordan who was amazing and really knowledgeable on what to do with my hair. She was super sweet and easy to talk to as well! My second visit I did my full balayage by Jillian who helped me figure out what color tones I wanted in my hair just by looking at a million of balayage pictures I just showed her! It took almost 3 hours for my balayage to be completed, but I was so amazed that she did a great job on the color and styling my hair afterwards. You pay for the quality of the service and it was sooo worth it! read more

10/10 recommend. I only come here for colorist Rhi, but I can only imagine all other services/employees here are just as amazing. I heard about Rhi from a few friends, but she also has an amazing Instagram (@donebyrhi) where you can see her work. It's clear she has a lot of experience and with a lot of different hair types, needs, etc. I DMed her before I even booked an appointment and she was super helpful. That helpfulness continues throughout your experience with her - during, after, between appointments - whether it's explaining what she's doing or product recommendations. I always leave loving how my hair looks, but also how it feels. After my first appointment, I honestly don't trust anyone else to lighten, tone, etc. my hair. I don't even live in Chicago, but I make the trek. And I've even convinced a few of my friends to make the same trek. They can be expensive, but you pay for what you get. And what you get is amazing! They do have a really nice referral program that can get you discounts on your services! read more

I found this salon through recommendations from a few friends. I had a balayage appointment with Rhi on a Saturday morning. After making my appointment, I received an email with instructions about parking and my appointment confirmation days before the actual appointment. I really appreciate these little reminders even though I knew it was coming up! Parking wasn't bad at all. There's valet parking in the garage off of banks st for a discounted price, which they indicated in the email. I arrived 30 min before my actual appointment time, but Rhi was kind enough to take me right away. We talked through my coloring history and she made a recommendation for a deep conditioning treatment after lightening my hair since it was dry. She was very honest with her recommendations so I absolutely trusted her. Rhi took her time foiling my hair and making sure that the color was just right. During my rinse and deep conditioning, she gave a nice massage lol! It was so relaxing and the chair was so comfy. After I blow dried my hair, she curled and styled my hair for after photos! I love how it turned out!!! Through her recommendation, I purchased a deep conditioning treatment to do 2-3x a week and since it was my first visit I received 20% off and they also have a referral program for a discount off your overall service. Verdict: I've found my go to colorist! Rhi was very sweet, honest, and didn't make me feel rushed at all. I highly recommend her and you can check out her work on her IG @donebyrhi read more

Save your money and do not go to @donebyrhi. The color and execution was not there. Rhi is very kind, but loses perspective and puts herself before the customer in situations where the customer should come first. She is not adaptable which is unfortunate. That little touch makes someone feel like that half a grand was worth it versus not worth it. Will not be returning. Have nothing bad to say about the salon and the environment. It was very pleasant. read more

Love this place. The location, ambiance, employees and the job John did was great. Already going back after 8 weeks.

This review is solely for Jeff. Unfortunately I cannot recommend him at all, as he butchered my hair last April and clearly disregarded what I had asked for. It has taken months of supplements, hair extensions, and a haircut with an excellent stylist who does listen (Alex Brown), to finally like my hair again. I'm tired of the male ego dominating the beauty industry--if you're making money off of women, you need to listen to us. read more

Love Melissa!!!!!! She's amazing, honestly she has transformed my hair color to perfection and consistently produces the perfect color for me during my bi-monthly touch ups. That may sounds like it's easy to do, but no....my hair is light and I dye it dark, so before I started seeing Melissa, stylists would always just do the same old and ruthlessly color my hair until it was like this really strange super matte pitch point-of-no-return-black color rather then dark brown with a purple tint. So many colorists quickly ended up turning my hair into a matte black atrocity, I didn't even know it was possible to avoid. But it's been a few years now since I found Melissa and she has been nailing my color ever since my first appointment. Melissa is a Color Pro who is super well educated, extremely thoughtful and very strategic when it comes to coloring hair, and she formulates the perfect custom color for me that she ensures I keep consistently. She alternates between glaze and dye as needed .... and I don't really know how it works (..lol..), but all I know is that it does work and my hair has never looked better. I even get compliments on my hair color from random people all the time, which never happened once when I had different colorists in the past. She's honestly a perfectionist and just like really-really good at what she does. In conclusion: Melissa is a super dope colorist and i would recommend her 10/10 times. *low key really enjoys getting all the hair color compliments* read more
