I have been seeing Megan for over 10 years. I had always cycled through different hairstylists…read moreprior to that, and happened upon her in a hair emergency (my current hairstylist at the time had left the salon I went to in Chinatown, and they would not tell me where he went). So, I googled hair salons near me (at the time, I was living in the Gold Coast), and called up Swerve. They asked the length of my hair, and paired me up with Megan. She seemed ok, was nice enough, and cleared me of my split ends. Then, I decided to cut my waist length hair short. Chin-length shaggy bob. That is when she impressed me. Okay, okay. How about a pixie? Me, with my round face, uneven hairline, and hair the texture of a young Asian boy, wanted a pixie. And she did it. And she made me look beautiful, and feminine. And that's when I knew I had found a keeper. No one else knows my hair and the shape of my skull the way she does; no one comes close to the perfectionism I require. Even though I moved further south, I followed Megan to Emmett Rode Salon, which was even further north. She helped me grow out my mohawk. Turned me into a blonde (after a brief moment with lavender hair). Megan has been with me through the ups and downs of life, many milestones, many heartaches, and many celebrations. Prior to the pandemic, I would make the trek up to Lincoln Park every 5 weeks for my haircut, but also to catch up, for after 10 years, Megan has become someone I am honored to call friend.

Megan has been doing my hair since I moved to Chicago more than 12 years ago! I followed her from…read moreher old salon and absolutely love everything Megan does to my hair. I am the type of person that doesn't have a clue when it comes to styling, coloring, etc. I literally show up and tell Megan a little bit about what I am thinking and she always manages to make my hair look the exact way I never knew I wanted. She's the first person I ever let color my hair, she taught me how to curl my hair and I just love her as a person. I sip wine and we talk about our crazy lives with two young children. She has great advice for me and I really look to her as a friend. I can't wait to get back into the salon to see Megan.

I get a relaxer but they do a lot of styling with natural hair and Tereze the owner and main stylist is known for her coloring. The prices are average for the services they provide.

A lot of yal don't go to No Curl Denied and it shows.... you hate to see it. Hahaha, okay…read moreseriously, all jokes aside - go see Nica now! She's amazinggggg. Let me tell you why I adore her so: * TIMELINESS- If there is one thing I'm stickler for, it's respecting my time. We've all had the experience before where you make an appointment for 3 and you don't get seen until 3:30 and then you're left with your head dangling in the shampoo bowl for another 45 minutes, because the stylist insists on overbooking. I've been going to No Curl Denied for over 2 years and she has NEVER been late or overbooked. If your appointment is at 1, you are in the chair at 1 (and actually before). * PERFECTIONIST - I must admit, Nica is a little OCD. She is going to make sure every single strand of hair on your head is laying perfectly before she lets you leave her chair. You will never have to stare at yourself in the salon mirror and then go "well could you bump it here, fix this, do that...", NEVER. She takes pride in her craft and holds herself to a standard of excellence which leads me to.... *PROFESSIONALISM - Nica is an all-around expert in her craft. She makes sure to educate you about your hair, help you achieve healthy hair goals, and just make you flourish all around. As such, Nica places great emphasis in continuing hair education and it seems like every month she's taking additional classes to learn about new hair techniques, styles, etc. She sends out monthly emails to all of her clients keeping you updated with all of the developments which I really look forward to reading each time. I would continue singing her praises, but honestly, this review is getting long and No Curl Denied is something you must experience. Do yourself a favor & go visit her. I pinky promise you'll be glad you did!

She was very responsive to all my emails, and so patient with me as I had to re-arrange the day-of schedule several times. I did a trial with her at her salon, and I'm so glad I did, it was a great time to try out the look I was thinking of and see how it worked (I took her advice and did airbrush and lashes, and very glad I did!). The day of the wedding she remembered everything we had discussed at the trial and it was perfect. I cried many times throughout the photos, ceremony, and toasts and my make up never budged, it was incredible. She made the whole getting ready process so relaxing for me, I cannot recommend her highly enough!
