    I really enjoyed my haircut expereince at Pilorum. The process of online appointments was super…read morestreamlined and made it easy to see availability, particularly since several stylists in the area only take phone call appointments, and it's unclear to see what's available weeks or months ahead. You can even specify a hairstylist should you have a preference. Someone from the salon called to check in and ensure I had the best experience by asking a few basic questions about what I wanted for a cut. I was really impressed by the thoroughness in follow-up. When I got to the salon, check in was quick, the front desk kindly asked to hang up my coat, and there was no wait time (despite arriving slightly early for my appointment). You could also request a refreshment, and they have one of the most extensive coffee menus I've ever seen! The wash, cut, and styling were all done seamlessly, with my stylist periodically asking clarifying questions along the way. I paid at the door, and inquired when I should be back. Another staff member knowledgeably mentions about 6-8 weeks to maintain the shape of the cut. Everyone was so warm and kind. Not to mention, there's great parking in the front and in the alley. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    I went back and forth as to whether I wanted to write this, but I do think my experience was…read moreunfortunate and may not necessarily reflect their skill and service here, but I think it's still worth sharing. The TL;DR is that I was unable to get my hair coloring done and also got a haircut that was not very flattering. I felt I looked better when I came in vs when I came out of the salon. This was all despite the effort I made to contact this salon multiple times beforehand to ensure that they were able to do the hair that I wanted. In January, I had my hair cut and permed in Los Angeles, which I was happy with, but I wanted to also make my hair blonde with this hair style (I'm a Korean American with dark hair). I confirmed with my hairstylist in LA as well as the internet that you should wait a while to bleach your hair to space out the damage, at least ~4 weeks. I currently live in Cleveland, OH for grad school and heard there aren't many good salons in OH for Asian hair. So I did my research, found this salon in Chicago with good ratings, read through ratings, looked through photos, and then first messaged them on instagram to set an appt. I sent them reference photos of the color I wanted, plus a current selfie showing my hair to ask if what I wanted was possible. I also explained I was going to be driving in from Cleveland (took me 7 hours since I avoided tolls) so I wanted to really make sure before I made the trip. I told them also about my perm from weeks ago (it was going to be over 7 weeks since the perm for the appt day I asked for). I also called 24 hours later directly to the salon since I didn't get a response on instagram right away. The person on the phone booked me with Michelle. I then proceeded to explain my situation and told them I sent them photos on instagram. The woman on the phone tried to reassure me saying "it's okay, Michelle can do whatever color. Don't worry about it." I took their word. They also responded on instagram confirming they could book me an appt and gave me an estimate of pricing (starting around $350) and time range (3-4 hours) based on the color I wanted. The day of my appt, I show Michelle my pictures and what I want. She starts rambling about how the color I want is not possible, or needs to be bleached multiple times because my hair color is too dark. I was asking her to clarify if that meant I have to come in on different days to get it done, and she wasn't very clear and eventually just said, "It's okay, we will figure it out. For now, you need a haircut right?" So we cut my hair to a length I was satisfied with, but since it wasn't dried/styled yet, I wasn't sure what the finished product would look like yet. Then we went back to discussing color. First, she tells me, "okay, we can bleach multiple times, but it may take a long time, maybe even 6 hours. Is that ok?" I said yes (I knew it might take a long time so I purposefully asked for their earliest appt time that day). "And it's going to be around $400-500. Is that ok?" I said yes again. THEN she says, "oh, and the bleach is going to flatten your perm, so you won't have your perm anymore." This is when I was stunned and hesitated and asked for time to think. I was already starting to worry about whether the color would actually look okay on me based on Michelle's initial response to my request, but then to also not have my perm that I had paid for before but I still wanted to be a part of my overall hairstyle? I was incredibly disappointed. I was definitely ignorant of how this hair stuff worked, but that's why I tried doing my research beforehand and asked them multiple times, sending them pictures and explaining my situation BEFORE I planned a trip 7 hours away by car. I don't have many free weekends, so this was also difficult for me to schedule. Eventually I declined the color because I didn't want to risk not liking the final color AND losing my perm. But I wish the staff, all the people I talked to here, told me BEFORE I made the trip to Chicago, and BEFORE she cut my hair. I honestly would not have gotten my haircut had I known I wasn't going to get color. I know cheaper hair salons for hair cuts in the area and might've opted for another place if I wanted one (my hair was already short, but the haircut price was still $70). The staff didn't necessarily act rude or anything, but they clearly failed to take my situation into consideration despite all of my effort and wasted my time, money and energy. And honestly I don't like the hair cut. I look like Johnny Depp from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; the lack of layers is not flattering. I have to pull my hair back daily to look decent. I'm just sad this happened and they may be competent at hair, but the inconsiderate communication was really disappointing.

    All the staffs here are very accommodating! They also give complimentary coffee/water and snacks…read morewhich is great for people who are waiting. I love how Jay cut and styled my mom's hair!

    The new name is "Dorothy Hair". Worst haircut ever! Helen…read morehas no idea what she's doing! I decided to go much shorter but not too short. But she cut it so short that I look ridiculous now. I told her it looks nothing like the pictures I showed and she says it looks similar. I showed her pics of what I wanted(which were my own hair pictures, so I know what to expect) and she held my hair like pony tail and cut all of it at once. I thought it was okay since I was going shorter but even then she cut way too much and proceeded to keep cutting and keep making way shorter layers. Since it was a Korean shop with a higher price, I trusted them when I walked in there. I really regret my choices, I literally cried after coming home. During the haircut I already told her it's too short and she proceeded to keep making the layers shorter. After the haircut I told her how much I hated my haircut and she said "it's okay, it will grow in a month or two" who the hell says that? Oh and she asked for tip when I paid. I actually want to go get my money back. I have curly hair and she has nooooo idea how curly hair works it seems like. She cut the layers too short so it becomes even curlier and she says my hair texture is different than the picture I showed. It was MY pictures I showed. It looks different because YOU cut it too short. I'm disgusted at the service she provided and the comments she made. Instead of saying sorry, you say, "it's okay, it'll grow in 1 2 months"? Be happy I don't have any big events coming up. First picture is how long my hair was, when I walked in there, 2 pics in white top is what I wanted. 2nd pic from last is what she sent me home with. Last pic is after me trying to style it with cream.

I think this will be our new place as long as the gentleman named Sky is there. The difference from this guy and other places is that he cuts hair first before washing the hair. I really appreciate that because of all the hair in the ears and around the neck is usually left there after a haircut. I see there are reviews about the stylists not speaking English. Yes, Sky didn't speak much English but he knew what we wanted just by giving him keywords. The haircut cost $25, pricey but so worth it.
