    Got a chocolate brown balayage done by Marilyn and the experience was amazing. I really appreciated the time and care she put into her work. She understood my vision perfectly. And customer service by all employees was 10/10. Would definitely go back!

    Just moved to Chicago and wanted to find a place that was as amazing as my last hairstylist. Finding one is like a dating game. Every single person at Robert Jeffery is friendly and knowledgeable. JP does my hair and truly listens to my preferences, but also gives pointers and advice on how to enhance my look. Wonderful team!!

    Kathryn is an AMAZING colorist and stylist. I had a really bad balayage (it was orange ombré) done last year by someone else and Kathryn worked her magic to fix my hair. I have been going back to her every couple of months for my hair ever since. She is such an artist and you can just relax and trust she's going to do a great job. She is the best!!

    I want to start by giving Sadie a shout out for giving me a nice cut. Also by noting their web site says $40 for a men's hair cut. I (a female) was quoted $40 by the receptionist when I called to inquire about a very short cut (above my ears and collar). When I checked out I was charged $60. I emailed the salon and to their credit they called me and apologized and offered to give my $20 back. I asked instead for a credit toward my next cut and they agreed. Then my wife called to make an appointment with Sadie. When she arrived for her appointment she learned Sadie had called out sick. No one bothered to call my wife and ask if she preferred another stylist or wanted to wait for Sadie. She was told another stylist would be cutting her hair. When she was done they told her it would be $57. She told them their web site says $40 for a men's hair cut. They finally agreed to charge her $47. I can't believe how wrong all of this is. You are a business but you are discriminating against women based on nothing. I tried to attach before and after image of my wife's $47 cut that they tried to charge $57 for. The pics don't seem to post but let's just say she almost has a shaved head. After all of this I'm going to just let Robert Jeffrey keep my $20 and go somewhere else because I am thoroughly disgusted with them at this point.

    Horrible colorist No exspence I was platinum blond he completely changed my whole color to gray after I only requested touch ups Will never go there again I would keep my customer happy and refund for very unprofessional hair job Don't recommend at all

    Before and After of my horrible haircut!

    This review is based on my second experience at Robert Jeffery Hair Studio in Lakeview. I admit my first haircut there was somewhat decent, so I went back, much to my regret. My second visit I was given a different stylist. Please DO NOT get styled by EVELYNN! When I called for my haircut appointment I asked for a senior stylist, they paired me up with Evelynn, who is not a senior stylist. At my appointment I explained in detail what I wanted in terms of cut and style, I also explained very clearly in detail what I did not want. I asked for a haircut that was no shorter than chin length, but preferably an inch below my chin. I asked for layers just to frame my face (which I had come in with), and I asked that she straighten/flat iron my curly hair after the cut. I told her that I had once been given a haircut which was cut above my chin and I hated it, and I would never go that short. We talked about this and agreed to have the shortest layer be an inch below my chin/mid neck, just above my shoulders. The cutting began, she started in front. I immediately saw how much hair was cut off (about 5-6 inches), and said that is too short. Evelynn reassured me that she would cut no shorter than this length, which was already above my chin level. She said that would be the shortest cut and the layers would be longer around my face. She did not keep her word, in fact she kept going shorter, and in the back went even shorter. My hair ended up at my ear lobe length, above my lips. At one point she asked me if I wanted layers in back as it would be harder for me to flat iron. I said NO. Instead, she gave me short choppy layers in back that revealed the entirety of my neck, and are indeed very difficult to flat iron. I ended up with a very bad bob, super choppy, and unevenly cut. At the end I asked her to cut layers around my face (like we had originally agreed upon), but she admitted that she had cut my hair too short and that it would look funny to go shorter and do layers to frame my face. I was so upset after the cut, I asked Evelynn, did you misunderstand what I wanted, did I say the wrong thing, and she again admitted that she just cut my hair too short. She offered my a free styling because I was upset. She admitted several times that she knew it was not what I had asked for. I went to the front desk on the verge of tears, paid and left a tip and asked for the manager, who was not there. I said how upset I was at the horrible hair cut which was about 3-4 inches shorter than I wanted, and not all what I had asked for. The front desk said to call back later and we could talk. I called back as soon as I got home, after crying for 20 minutes. I asked for my money back, and for the manager again. I received the managers phone number, who I called over the next week about 5x and never got a hold of. Finally a week later, after never getting to speak with the manager, I called the salon and insisted on getting my money back. They did reimburse me, but now 7-8 weeks later, I'm still upset at the worst hair cut I have ever had! I Actually cried for days after this haircut. I will never go back to this awful salon. DO NOT GO TO ROBERT JEFFREY LAKEVIEW!

    Just had a haircut with Melissa at the Lakeview location. Salon was clean and well organized. Melissa was very friendly and did a great job! Having long curly hair, I'm always hesitant to find new hairstylists. I think she listened to what I wanted and executed it well. She finished the appointment by doing a blowout on my hair since I never do them myself, and I enjoyed the change. The price of a woman's haircut was also very nice! Usually places I've been to up-charge you for the length or kind of hair. It was refreshing that they didn't have all of these hidden fees.

    Love my balayage!!! Megan is a star... she did a brilliant job on my black hair turning it into subtle violet red hue I would defintely recommend her for first timers like me whose hair has never been chemically treated before.. We had a consultation earlier after which she took time out to test a couple of colors on my hair... and on third seating she finally did this!!! My hair looks fab!!! Thank you

    New hair color!

    I have a new best friend! Jason did my hair today ... I absolutely love this! Purple/pink peek-a-boos as I move around, and the placements of the color are so perfect. Jason was professional, nice, inquisitive/curious, and took time to understand what I wanted. I'm so glad I decided to work with him. So in love

    Just had my hair cut and styled by Bob LaMorte. He is one of Chicago's treasures, and always makes my personal style shine through.

    Who is the best stylist to get a pixie cut with?

    They are all awesome. We have personally used Patrick for such a cut for my eldest. Both Brittany and Evelynn have done the same cut on my youngest. All were spectacular!

    I've been booking with Indira at different locations for the past 14 years. I've always booked one…read moreof 2 services (a partial highlight or full highlight with toner). I've always had ease booking and getting the same service and never had issues with the results I've gotten. The last 2 times, after booking the text service reached out which ended up being the owner in a very attacking tone. All of a sudden the what I wanted was going to take twice as long and cost twice as much. I highly recommend finding a salon with better owner customer service, with all of the options out there, don't be swindled by Tracey and her long texts to your phone demanding she knows what she's talking about for a salon you're a regular at while trying to double your service needs. Horrible communication and customer service from the top down which is sad to see given the stylists there don't have anything to do with the way they are conducting their client communication and scheduling.

I was able to book an appointment day of through the website which was super convenient. After checking in, I waited for maybe a minute or two before being introduced to my stylist, Gaetano. Right away he sat me down and started inspecting my hair (it was clear I hadn't been in for a trim in quite some time...busted!). He asked me what I was looking for and made suggestions for a cut and style. During the wash, he used a shampoo and conditioner that was particular to my hair needs. The head and neck massage was much needed and so good! Gaetano took time and care cutting my hair, and it was clear it's something he's passionate about. After a blow out, he even curled and styled it for me! The haircut was amazing, but chatting with Gaetano was the cherry on top. He's originally from Rome, and moved here for a better life for his children and family. We discussed our love for Italy and the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Throughout the haircut, he gave me tips and tricks that I can do to improve the quality of my hair. I normally book a haircut with whoever is available, but moving forward I'm definitely going to be seeing Gaetano! Grazie!

    Be aware that this shop puts an illegal 3-month expiration date on gift cards. My friend bought me…read morea $30 gift card in October 2025 and the owner put an expiration date for Jan 2026. I thought she was just putting there as a courtesy and did not bother to ask thinking she would still honor it if just a few months late. Oh boy No. She declined the gift card when I went in Mar, only two months after the expiration date. My friend just basically gave her $30 and she took it without blinking. According to Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, Gift cards cannot expire for at least 5 years from purchase or last reload. Illinois even has stricter rule about it stating that retail gift cards generally cannot have an expiration date. If a card says it expires, that term is typically unenforceable in Illinois. I don't care how often you need to go threading your eyebrows, but 3-month expiration period for gift cards is illegal. I will be filing a complaint with Illinois Attorney General's Office Update: your terms and conditions on the gift card are ILLEGAL. I was not rude to your staff. You did not want to provide me the service so you asked your assistant to do my eyebrows to get me out of the door. I did not want to waste my friend's money so I accepted and tipped her well. The gift card is good for two services and you took it and said that's it. If I'd known this is illegal, I would have kept the gift card as evidence and refused your service.
