    I went in for a hair color/cut. The hair dye looks like it was done by a non professional. The skin to my forehead, ears under my neck all had hair dye stains. I went out to eat afterwards not realizing I was walking around with all these stains. This morning I noticed all these mistakes and only to come to the realization, I have no layers to my hair! I tried rescheduling with someone else for the haircut but would be stuck paying another ninety five dollars on top of the two fifty I already paid yesterday. I would not have to pay if i go back to the same stylist but I don't want the same person touching my hair again. This place is not worth the money for such rotten service. Very disappointed

    @long layered hair cut and style. Sweet friendly staff. Great vibe. Always recieve the best haircut. I'm his worst client. I'm his Mom. Love coming into the salon. They use the best products. Phillip does an amazing job on my hair. I'm not just saying that because he's my son. I have to be his most difficult client in his chair but he kills it every time. I received so many complaints on my hair everyday. See Phil you wont be disappointed.

    I had a horrible experience at Salon buzz today. I came in for a haircut and left with uneven hair. Sam was my stylist and she immediately upsold me a conditioning treatment-- which would have been fine but she neglected to let me know that she would not have enough time to give me a proper haircut! She cut my hair so fast and aggressively I immediately became concerned. I think she made 3 snips and then she started blow drying my hair immediately making me extremely confused because I paid for a whole haircut not just for my ends to be dusted in 2 seconds. The whole process was so rushed I felt like it was a stressful experience and they treated me like a transaction on an assembly line. If this was because of the unexpected conditioning treatment they offered me, they should have told me that the haircut would be rushed or scheduled the conditioning for another time! After she sent me to pay, I checked in the bathroom and found my hair in the front to be UNEVEN. so i told the front desk politely that my hair appeared uneven and the appointment felt super rushed. the front desk lady was dismissive of my complaint by saying "well Sam is really good" which felt dismissive because I had uneven hair. I asked for it to be fixed and requested someone else to fix it because Sam rushing with my hair made me feel super uncomfortable. The desk lady told me I would be charged for an entirely new haircut in addition to this haircut which is a completely unprofessional response from a high end salon! I felt like the customer service and cut was equivalent to Supercuts, and so you might as well just go there ans save your money for an equivalent cut! I had a good experience in the past with someone else and so I'm just really sad bc even after they sent me back to sam to have her fix it.. it's STILL UNEVEN. I just want even hair and for this business to be more polite! :( I trusted Salon Buzz after being referred to them by a close friend, but now I definitely don't want them to touch my hair anymore, and a refund sounds fair considering I need to get this fixed still! Overall so so sad and upset. they just felt so rude and i thought this place cared about customer service

    Went from one length hair asking for a blunt cut and got this.

    Would not recommend. I had grown out most of my layers, went to see Andreas for a dusting, trim and a blunt cut. No blunt cut and no dusting. He decided to add some dimension to my hair and now I have short layers at the top of my head I had spent the last two years growing out and he decided to add point cutting to the ends to add dimension. I wanted a straight blunt cut. I showed him a picture. The layers he added don't blend in with anything. He said it's not layers it's texturizing. Whatever it is, it's a mess! Your response is not true. The only layers I had left were long layers near my face. You added these to the top of my hair. I'll include a picture of the bottom which was one length, you butchered and made uneven.

    Spotty balayage. And that was the good side.

    Worst color I've had in years. I just moved to Chicago. She undid practically everything my last colorist had worked toward. I can't go into work like this. And for $210 for a partial highlight... no thanks. It's blotchy and way too light. It's awful. I don't trust them to fix it either so I'll go elsewhere.

    I LOVE Salon Buzz and most importantly I LOVE Talia! I've been coloring my hair with her for almost a year and a half working to get my super dark brown to a bright and healthy blonde. She always provides an amazing experience along with the all other employees, and I always walk out feeling beautiful and confident about my hair. If you're looking for top tier service along with gorgeous color done the healthy way, I will forever recommend Talia at Salon Buzz.

    bumble and bumble long layer cut

    I just went there last night to get a much needed cut. I went to the training program so one of the students (who have already graduated beauty school but are training to work specifically at the particular salon) cut my hair. Her name was Cameron and she was fabulous! I got a "bumble & bumble long layer cut" which I have never seen before but I loved it because it made the layers so blended and soft. I have super long (mid back) hair and instead of being long and straggly, its fabulous now. The salon itself is very nice too, very clean and friendly staff. I would definitely go back. Cameron does hair on Tuesdays at 5:30pm and 6:45pm if you need a cut or a trim for only $20!

    Ask for Scott for color & Jordon for everything else:)

    5 STARS ONLY FOR THE TAPE IN HAIR EXTENSIONS BY JORDAN!!!! She rocks at completing that long rocker chic don't you just love me hair that you can toss around & play with all you want... it looks natural!!!! And HOT. However not so impressed thus far with the colorist at the Gold Coast Salon Buzz, she highlighted my hair orange pretty much. The colorist, Scott at the River North Salon Buzz is who you need to see to get the right spot on color. He's great:). Jordan works at the River North salon as well, so go there - not the Gold Coast one for your next hair care spare a dime- they ARE EXPENSIVE. Get the manager for quotes on prices otherwise you'll get 3 different quotes from the same person & they won't recall what they first told you. Kinda annoying. Be cautious there bcus I kinda felt coerced into buying more than I wanted... -T

    Paul did a phenomenal job on my hair. I found him from a lady I approached about how beautiful her hair cut was. The place was beautiful as well. The staff from start to finish were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back to Paul! Paul has done it again! Second time getting my hair cut by him. I'm so pleased by the way he cuts and styles my hair. Thanks Paul!!!

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.

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.

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!
