    My girl, Dani, making my hair look awesome with blonde highlights.

    I love this place! I have been going to Meraki since 2019. I was initially attracted to the salon because of its cute and relaxing vibe with all the plants and minimalist design. But I have gone to both Meghan and Dani for highlights and they are not only super talented, but also nice humans who are great to talk to. Everyone I have interacted with at the salon has been great. Try it out but don't take my appointment slots from me!

    Love this salon. I passed by it everyday since it opened but never walked in because honestly, the fancy interior/exterior intimidated me. I thought it would be way out of my price range. Then, one day I met one of the staff Lauren at the studio across the street that I work at and she told me she works there. I had been looking for a colorist for years! I left my hair untouched for 6 years at this point (naturally jet black) and wanted a change but was afraid to have someone mess up the color i want (Also bc im asian and was terrified of having orange hair) Anyways, after asking a gazillion questions, Lauren recommended me to Kara and now I am loyal. I love the beginning to end process at Meraki. It turned out to be such a treat for a fair price. From when I walk in, I love when she massages my hair in the 'ambiance' spa like room, Kara LISTENS to my concerns and she delivers. I love my new color and am so glad I found Meraki Room.

    I have been a client of Meraki Room since I moved to Chicago in the summer of 2018. I love this salon and all of the ladies so much! A few of them have become friends and I so look forward to coming and miss it when I am between appointments! I get hair color (highlights) and haircuts done by Dani, and Claire often assists and is my other go-to. For my Wedding in November, I had a hair trial from another company (Pin Me Up) and it did not go well. I was asking for Dani & Claire's advice and Claire offered to jump in and do my bridal hair the day of my wedding! She practiced on me right then and there, then practiced on other girls at the salon before the big day. She brought a beautiful bubbly energy to my bridal suite and did an amazing job with my hair! She also helped fix a bridesmaid's hair after the aforementioned company didn't do the style she wanted. The salon, the employees and the general happy vibe is amazing here. But most of all, my hair is in great shape, expertly done each time, and I get compliments all over the place!

    I am still high on life about my experience here ! Kara was my stylist and she did exactly what I wanted- I walked out of there a whole new woman. My rich brunette hair color is perfect and soooo shiny and healthy. I am growing my hair our and was nervous about length being cut and she gave me the perfect dusting split end haircut. Claire gave me the best shampoo of my life ! All the girls are so nice and fun to chat with. Highly recommend the Meraki room, I literally asked how soon I could come back.

    The first time I made an appointment with Taya was shortly after I moved to Chicago and I was nervous because until then, my entire life, the same person had cut my hair (like gave me my first hair cut when I was a baby). But naturally I liked the way Taya cut my hair even more than my old stylist! I've been seeing her ever since! All the girls here are great though. My hair is probably pretty easy to cut but my Puerto Rican friend has long dark curly hair and I brought her here and she loved Diana's work too! One of the highlights is always the wash room which is dark with relaxing music and you get an awesome head/neck massage before every cut! The prices for all this are super decent (around $70). Beer and wine served too!

He was very meticulous and took his time to make sure all of the layers were even. He was very friendly during the whole interaction. Recently, I made a drastic change from long hair to a pixie cut. I showed Jason my reference pictures, and he was able to cut it in the way I requested while also making it fit my face shape. Again, he took a lot of time to perfect the shape and texture. I was very impressed with the ending result! I have since gotten many compliments on my new style. Additionally, the salon itself is clean and simple. The other staff I have interacted with were nice and efficient. The receptionist also helps with translations to effectively communicate what you want done. I have always favored Asian hair salons for my hair type, but it is very rare that I come across a stylist as skilled as Jason. If you're into layered cuts, I definitely recommend booking him.

She not only helped me achieve the blonde I originally wanted, but she did it in a way that protected my hair and brought it back to life. My color looks beautiful, natural, and exactly how I envisioned it. Even better--my hair is actually growing back and feeling healthy again. Lira is truly a master of her craft. She listens, she cares, and she knows exactly what she's doing. If you're thinking about going blonde or need someone to fix a color gone wrong, she's the one you want in your corner. Absolutely worth every visit.

He is worth the drive. Atmosphere- The salon is very clean, welcoming, comfortable and spacious. Everyone is friendly and you'll always see someone cleaning and helping each other out. Yes they do speak another language but that's because that is their first language and it's easier for them to communicate to each other. It does not bother me at all. Also, they have a great play list lol Parking- It worried me the first time because it's the city but there's free garage parking and on the side of the street as well. I've always been able to park on the side of the street. Price- Fair pricing considering the quality and time spent. I'm usually there 8-9 hours. Hair stylist- Leo is amazing at what he does. He doesn't rush anything. He takes his time, gives you his honest professional advice on what color you want to achieve while keeping the integrity of your hair. I love how Leo styles my hair. It always feels silky smooth and soft. He can cut hair and gave me the cutest angle bob. So don't hesitate to get haircuts from him either. I always get compliments on my hair and recommended him to my co worker and now she goes to him too! Her hair looks amazing and healthy. She is happy with her results and said she will continue to see him. The hair results don't lie!
