Amazing experience. The nicest owner and hairstylist duo, and an absolutely beautiful, clean, and FUN salon. They treated me so well!! Elise did my color and cut, and she left me with healthy, glossy hair that looks good in any style! Will definitely keep coming back to this hidden gem. read more

I don't understand why this place doesn't have any reviews for haircuts, coz Jordyn is awesome at styling! I bought a Groupon to this place when I was looking to get a haircut. I was sold when I saw the reviews and the proximity to my apt (just a couple of blocks away!). Jordyn was amazing although I was 5-10 mins late to my appt. She is super friendly, really personable and I didn't even realize how time flew by! We did 5 mins of consulting before we got to it since she wanted to know what I was looking for and I wanted her opinion and input about the same. Once we had "the look" decided, we just ended up chatting the whole time while she cut and styled my hair. And the end product was just what I wanted-in terms of length and style (something others haven't quite been successful at). The real test though was when I washed my hair and set my hair (just a regular blowdry), it was just what I wanted. I would like to mention this specifically since in my experience, and it might just be me, but every time I come out of a salon, I am pleased with my haircut and style but the minute I wash and blowdry my hair, I can never ever get it to look like it did the time of the haircut. Not this time. I got and continue to get the look I wanted and got when I left her salon space. THAT'S the level of expertise and skill that you'll get with Jordyn. I would TOTALLY RECOMMEND Jordyn. YOU ROCK!! read more

Jordyn is an incredible talent! I went to Salon Snob in desperate need for a change in color and style, and she totally delivered. Jordyn knows how to share her professional opinion while still listening to what her clients want - a rarity in stylists these days. She is an expert at partial highlights that really rev up your color and yet look natural, and her cuts are complicated but easy to maintain. I am getting compliment after compliment on my new look! As a bonus, she is as sweet as can be and I enjoy my time at her salon. The space is clean and private and close to all the Mag Mile shopping if you want to make a day of it downtown. As much as I love my hair now, I'm already looking forward to going back to see Jordyn again! read more

What can I say... I've just got in from having my hair done by Jordyn and I absolutely love it! I tried highlighting my own hair at home and pretty much ruined it :( I phoned around to different hair salons in the Chicago area and just couldn't find a reasonably priced place.. Until I phoned salon snob and just from the phone call I received such a pleasant aura.. Jordyn is so polite and nice that I was instantly sold.. She's an amazing stylist and I'm glad I found her, she's done an amazing job and fixed my hair just how I imagined... I'll definitely be returning! Being from the UK and in the process of moving out to Chicago, I think I've found a new friend as well as a new stylist :) Thank you Jordyn :) *big kisses* x x x read more

Really awesome experience. Jordyn is so passionate about her job and is super nice and helpful about hair care and anything else! I used a Groupon and got a really good haircut here. The GK hair products she offered were especially great and so reasonably priced, I will most definitely return for them. read more

Jordyn is AMAZING!! I have had my hair highlighted since very young and have never come across someone as talented as Jordyn. She is not only talented at her work but is also the nicest, sweetest person that I always look forward to catching up with in the chair. What I love about Salon Snob is how sanitary it is before and during COVID-19 era. She follows all protocols and I feel very safe there. I could go on and on about her but if you're thinking about going to Salon Snob... do it!! read more

I decided to take a leap of faith after reading wonderful reviews of Salon Snob on Yelp. I was visiting Chicago from the east coast and thought it would be fun to get a new look for Spring. Owner Jordyn Olawumi made me feel like a long lost friend. Her outgoing, friendly personality was matched by her talent and attention to detail. I had color and cut and I rate both of the services 5 stars. If I lived in Chicago I would be a regular client. You will not be disappointed if you give Salon Snob a try. read more

Salon Snob is the real deal! Not only is Jordyn such an incredibly talented stylist, she provides top notch customer service. Booking an appointment was super easy because everything is online. When I got to the salon, I was offered sparkling water which is a really nice touch. The service was fantastic. I'm in love with my new highlights and color and owe it all to Salon Snob! I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Jordyn was the absolute best! It's been awhile since I got a hair cut and had damaged hair from lightening it myself over the summer. She was able to get my hair back on track to looking healthy again and gave some great tips. I will definitely be going back here again! read more

I was in Chicago on a girls trip with my mom and wanted to get my hair done last minute. I found Jordyn online, called the morning of, and she was able to fit me into her busy schedule. She was extremely personable from the moment we walked in and could not have made us feel more welcomed. She then did a fabulous job on the cut and color of my hair--the best I've ever received. She is extremely talented and knows what works with peoples face and complexion. The entire experience was outstanding. Every time I visit Chicago from now on I will be calling Jordyn! read more

Jordyn is amazing! She really takes the time to listen to her clients to ensure that she makes the best use of her skills to deliver outstanding results every time. She's very responsive via email/text, she's upfront about prices and charges and she has a trusting work ethic. Most importantly, she's very talented in her skill and is always equipped with new tools, hair products, techniques etc. that gives her a competitive edge in the industry. She's friendly and professional and it's always fun chatting with her. read more

Jordyn is the best! My sister's wedding was in 2 weeks and she did us a favor and fit us into her busy schedule to give us last minute extensions. The extensions look amazing and our stylists for the wedding day told us they were extremely well done. Jordyn is very knowledgable and was completely honest about what she thought my sister and I needed, without being pushy or salesy. We love Salon Snob! read more

If you are a blond, come see Jordyn. I had a hard time finding someone who could bleach my hair without damaging it when I moved to Chicago four years ago. (Blonds, I'm sure you know the struggle). After having a few not so great experiences, I found Jordyn on yelp and my hair has been happy and healthy ever since Jordy. n has major skill and talent. Plus, she's really nice and professional. My mom (who is also a cosmetologist), is a fan of her work! Seriously, go book your appointment now. read more

I've been with Jordyn for 5 years and I won't trust anyone else with my hair. She does my extensions, color and haircuts and it's always amazing. She's always super friendly and accommodating and I love the personalized experience. Highly recommend Jordyn!! read more

I debated before writing this review, but decided that as a loyal Yelper that I couldn't just let this go as much as it sucks to have to write it. Disclaimer: Jordyn did NOT do my hair or makeup and I think that's where the problems arose. I made an appointment online through an automated system that is clearly flawed. It sent me 1000 text messages and emails before I'd even gotten close to my appointment time, never mind the day of. Just too many. Then the times for my makeup got mixed up and caused stress, but it was fixed fairly easily. I showed up and met the vibrant and bubbly Jordyn and wished I had known more about this place so I could have made a better decision. I definitely would have gone with her doing everything. She's put together and just gorgeous. I had an appointment to have makeup/hair done for a very important photo shoot/event the day of. I was paired with Madison for makeup and Camrin for hair. I walked in and had to find this little bitty room of a salon. Not typical at all and had I known that this was the way it was set up I definitely would have made a different choice. My mistake. Camrin and Madison were both the sweetest. I really loved their outgoing personalities and how kind and accommodating they were. I had made an appointment for a blowout with Camrin but when I sat down and got ready to have it done she pulls out these HUGE rollers. I have never in my life gotten a blowout with rollers. I expressed my hesitation and said that wasn't what I was looking for but was assured it would be fine. I showed her a picture of what I wanted with curls and was told she could do that. Camrin would blow out tiny sections of hair, one at a time, and then put a roller in. My roots are curly and she wasn't really getting those. It was really not a blowout. Then she gave me the curls I asked for and they doubled the cost of my blowout, but they didn't tell me until it was already done. I wouldn't have paid $55 for someone to curl my hair. My blowouts in NYC (that I get twice a week) are the same price whether I blow it straight, have it flat ironed, or curled. This was a VERY overpriced hairstyle. It also lasted one day. When I slept on it all the curls came out. It wasn't worth what I paid for it. I don't really want to get into the mess that was made of my makeup. Madison was clearly very new to this. My makeup was horrible and I had to do it all myself for my photo shoot. She used drug store products and was just not good at it. I was devastated. Jordyn did apologize and refund my makeup (rightfully so, it was awful), but charged me for the blowout and curl that didn't stay. I wish I had never come here, it really ruined my photo shoot and event. I agree that Jordyn probably does do a good job, unfortunately the people she hires to work for her don't. read more

I had a really good experience at Salon Snob. The owner is the only one who works there, and she is so sweet! It was nice because it was just us the whole time, so we got to get to know each other better than you normally would. It struck me that she is just such a real person. I got a deep conditioning treatment & blow out via a Groupon. She loved that I had used the Groupon, which was nice compared to some frosty receptions I've heard about at other places. She started with a shampoo, then put the hair mask in and gave me a wonderful hand massage. Then she shampooed again and offered me magazines and a beverage while she went to get the hot towel. I asked for water, so she gave me a real glass with bottled water. So nice and homey! Then she gave me a hot towel and did a blow out. She did a great job. My hair looks super shiny and bouncy. She also explained what all the products were doing just so I would know, but she didn't try to sell me anything, which I also appreciated. Also, even though the appointment technically would have been 2 hours, she got it done in one and still had me feeling relaxed. Loved how she was efficient yet friendly. Definitely a loyal customer now! Even if I see a groupon for another place, I'll probably come back to Jordyn. Bonus: She said she'd be in the area for awhile! Note: The salon is a little hard to find by the address alone. If you go down the stairs next to the Gaylord Indian restaurant, through the Phoenix Salon doors, then continue through the back of that salon and the different suites all have individual doors on the left. read more

Jordyn Daniels is not your average hair stylist. After being the head stylist for other 5 star salons, I was thrilled when I found out she was finally opening up her own salon. Her skills are incredible and my hair always looks amazing. I have used her for darkening, highlights, haircuts and she even did my hair design and make up for The Miss Bikini USA competition. She is truly a gem. read more

Jordyn is fantastic. She does her craft well! I love that I was able to trust her opinions right away. I received my first set of extensions for fullness from her and she and the extensions did not disappoint. I'm so happy that my first experience with her was a great one. My search for a new salon is over!! read more

Jordyn is AMAZING! I came in very nervous about getting bangs. I contemplated them for a long time and I actually went to another salon where the stylist talked me out of it and made me feel very wary of getting bangs. Jordyn is a straight shooter who will tell you the truth about what will and what won't look good for you individually because everyone is different. She dyed and cut my hair (bangs and all) and it is the very best hair cut I have ever gotten! I LOVE IT! I have gotten numerous comments within a 20 min period from walking out of her salon! Jordyn is very personable and makes the time with her fun and relaxing! I am a definite return client and I can't recommend her enough! read more

I started going to Salon Snob last year when I was new to Chicago. In desperate need of color and a cut and based on satisfied customers high reviews on Yelp as well as other social media sites, I decided to give Salon Snob a try. I am so glad that I did! Saying that Jordyn does a phenomenal job is an understatement. She's elite. I've been highlighting and coloring my hair for 15 years. I've frequented top salons in NYC and no one has ever done as beautiful of a job as Jordyn does. She is not happy unless her customer is happy. She takes great pride in her craft and her work reflects that. She is an absolute doll and the entire salon experience is fun. It's like chatting with an old friend while I wait for my color to process. Her salon is neat, clean, cozy, quaint, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. She plays great music and even offers a variety of beverages. (And the sink has the most comfortable neck rest I've ever used.) If and when I move back to New York, I've already decided that I'll come back to Chicago for long weekends and hair appointments at Salon Snob. When you find a gem, you hold onto it tightly! read more

Jordyn Daniels is amazing! I stumbled upon her thorough Groupon and haven't looked back. Jordyn is a hair extension expert! They always look completely natural and beautiful. She gives amazing blowouts and I always leave feeling like a super model! Her prices are more than reasonable, especially considering she is located in the Gold Coast!!! I recommend her to everyone!!!! read more

I walked into Salon Snob with not knowing what to expect. I opened the door to my own personal boutique salon. Super amazing. Jordyn's set up made me feel so special. I love that there weren't any other stylists and extra noise a larger Salon can make. Jordyn took the time to look through my hair and give me recommendations on all over color and partial highlights with a cut. I told her I wanted to go brighter and blonder for the summer. She perfected my color. I seriously have never had a blond color that looks so natural and complements my skin tone the way she has perfected it , is amazing. The trim was perfect. Just enough and not too much( unlike my last stylist). Jordyn really takes the time to get to know you as her client. Her personality is extremley fun and bubbly. Her product line is GK. This is the first time I have used it and in my opinion is way better than any other Salon product I have used. My hair is so soft.I received 5 compliments within a few hours of seeing her. I'm extremley impressed and will continue to come back! Oh- scheduling is super easy and I love the reminder I get! Thanks Jordyn! read more

Jordyn is one of the most creative and personable people I know and was the only one who could help me manage my helmet head with the right cut and frizz with the right blow out. She uses the healthiest products and is as honest as your mother in law but you will feel like you have a fairy godmother when you leave. You will not be disappointed! read more

Fantastic. I've bounced around to many salons but I've never had quite the amazing experience that I had here!! She was so kind and had a passion for perfection which was obviously my benefit :-) I'd highly recommend her to anyone extremely picky about their hair. The space is smaller than any salon but it's cute and comfortable. read more

Jordyn is absolutely amazing! I have never been so happy with my blonde hair! Not to mention her lip snob collection! I will continue to go to Jordyn for all my lip and hair needs! I highly recommend you book your next appointment here! read more

Jordyn is amazing!! Professional, friendly and listens to what you want even if you really don't know want you want. Lol. I always feel and look like a million bucks when I leave!! read more

I am in town on business and found Jordyn on Yelp. Had a fantastic shampoo and blowdry- my hair is so pretty! Bouncy and soft - I don't need to worry about it for the rest of my conference. Jordyn is very detailed and gifted. Will definitely come back next time I am in town. read more

Jordyn is the BEST! Not only is she an amazing sytlist but she has personality to boot. Wish I could give her more than five stars. Seriously. read more

OK-sooooo... I have a bit of a long story, but I feel compelled to share it because of how much Jordyn has helped me after just one visit to her salon (bear with me here). I'm in Chicago this summer for an internship (I live out-of-state) and during my time here I decided I wanted a change. I went to three different high-end, respected salons over the course of about a month, and with each visit, my hair (and self-confidence) deteriorated more and more. Background: I'm Asian, and my hair has been dyed increasingly blonder and blonder for the past two years. I wanted to go back to my natural color-something I thought was a relatively easy process (easier than going platinum, at least!). The first salon I went to got my hair dark, but caused a ton of breakage in the process. I left the salon with rocker-chic hair with short bangs (I'm talking closer to my hairline than my eyebrows), because my stylist had to cut my once-long chin-grazing bangs into a choppy Joan-Jett undercut (not a bad look, but I'm totally not that kinda girl... I like long, feminine styles). In other words, I hated it. Fast-forward to my panicking and heading to the next salon, which promised me ashy blonde balayage and a better haircut: what I got was brassy orange highlights and a bob (to "repair the damage"). I was totally hysterical by this point (I felt so unfeminine and unlike myself) that I went to another salon that specialized in color, asking to go back to my natural color and get rid of the brass. I ended up with like... an orange-y head somehow? I also had even more breakage (with an inches-short bob surrounding my crown) and even shorter bangs after that process. I was totally devastated. Finally, I found Jordyn online-and her personality in conjunction with her ability to empathize (and see my hair as I saw it, instead of some "ohhh, it's not that bad" kind of mentality-instantly put me at ease. I walked in and she was honest with me about the condition my hair was in, where we could go from here and why my hair was in the shape it was in. It's obvious she knows what she's doing, and the 5-star ratings on here make all the sense in the world. She fit me in for a color correction (even though she was closing soon... angel) and finally got me to a great starting place for my hair's road of recovery. I now feel WAY more comfortable in my own skin, and my hair looks ten times better than it did when I walked in... as good as it can, you know? She's amazing, and it's clear she actually *cares* about her customers, beyond just a one-time money transaction, which is actually so heartwarming. I got the impression she gave me the exact same treatment and care and customer service she gave her client of 8 years (who she was working on when I arrive), even knowing I'm an out-of-state visitor. Anyway, she recommended extensions to me to help fix my mullet situation, and after mulling it over (see what I did there?), I'm going to go for it. It's wonderful, because I can tell her suggestion of extensions wasn't just to make more money-it was genuinely in my interest, something she thought would improve my looks and self-image while my hair grows out and recovers. We're in the process of figuring out what length/bundle number to go with to fit my budget, but in the meantime, it's wonderful: she's working with me (not judging), she's not just trying to take my money/sell me products/push me out the door (like the other 'top' salons I went to, and spent too much of my savings on their services/products) and she understands the sadness of the situation I'm in. I've never met a stylist who works with clients so willingly and kindly, and who doesn't make me feel pressured or uncomfortable if I'm not able to afford certain things. I'm a student, after all, and I think she sees that. She reminds me of the complete opposite of the saying "They may have won the battle, but they lost the war." Instead of just sucking as much $ as she can from me over my time here, she genuinely wants to build rapport and like... HELP ME AND MY HAIR! In the long run, that kind of character pays off. If I'm ever in Chicago again, she's my go-to. Once I get my extensions, I'll write an updated review and include pictures. Just know, if you're sad about your hair, this is your girl-she'll help you fix it, while making you feel like a cared-for human being. LOL-but really, sometimes that's all you want! Here's some pics of my before and after-can't wait to show you all my extensions. Back soon! Thank you, Jordyn!!! read more

It's been a while since I've found a stylist I really liked. Jordyn did an amazing job and I'll definitely be back. She took the time to discuss what we were going to do when I came in - asking questions to learn about how I am with my hair (I like to air dry in the summer sometimes, relatively low maintenance in general). Then she gave suggestions and made sure we were in agreement before we started. She really took her time with the cut and cared about making sure everything with it was perfect. My cut is amazing and I've already received so many compliments on it. On top of that, she was a pleasure to sit and chat with during my appointment. I'm incredibly pleased and relieved to have found someone who has charm and skill. I also got a keratin treatment with her. I've had a few in the past and some were better than others - this one is great! She uses GK, which I prefer (it's so excellent and makes my hair incredibly shiny and smooth). She takes her time and applies it well - my hair looks amazing! Side note - Jordyn rents space in a suite of salon units (it's really nice because it's private and you have her full attention). The space is down some stairs and the door says only Suite 102. It's the right door. Head on in and you'll see her suite. Go to see Jordyn - you won't regret it! read more

This Salon provides one on one service to clients in a high scale atmosphere. However I don't go just for the ambiance and intimacy I go for the amazing color, cut and services provided by the most talented stylist I have ever had. I have been to Orbe and had my hair colored and cut by him personally, while AMAZING, Jordyn Olawumi formally Jordyn Daniels is the Beauty Designer I have always been looking for. I have lived in London, NYC, Chicago, Scotland and have also traveled and had to have my hair done on the fly always looking for the best. I have found that at Salon Snob. My color has always been amazing, she by far does the BEST QUALITY and most beautiful extensions, her cuts ate amazing, eyebrows are an art to her and makeup is flawless. I am extremely particular and she has yet to disappoint. Oh pricing let's talk about that. Her pricing is to low. I would run not walk to this salon as she is two years in and will only become more well known. I recently put pics on my Facebook after Jordyn did my hair color and cut. I had 160 comments and all were positive. Personality wise you could not ask for a more honest, loyal, sweetheart who truly listens to what her clients want. This is the best Salon in the city. read more

I won't trust anyone with my hair from now on! Jordyn is a hair wizard. I got EXACTLY what I had in mind, plus a very pleasant experience with a super cool lady. She only takes one client at a time, which makes it very personal and custom. You're not shouting at a stylist over 3 other blow dryers and stylists/customers. Such a good experience, even better hair stylist. read more

Had a great first time experience! Not only did she blend out the issues left behind from my previous haircut, but she made it look ten times better! Jordyn's super professional, friendly, and goes the extra mile to make her clients feel and look amazing! I will definitely be going back to her again. read more

AMAZING! I cannot emphasize how AWESOME Ana was! I can't recommend this place enough! I came here after a TERRIBLE job by a different salon, and was so nervous and freaking out. I didn't want my hair to be ruined more, and Ana could tell I was a complete nervous wreck. At the other salon the stylist bleached my hair (when I asked for a few light brown highlights) and totally ruined it, making my hair dry, fried and terrible looking. Ana SAVED the day. First, she fit me into her busy schedule, and stayed late at work just to help me, but never complained or made a big deal about it. Even when I apologized for her working late she was SO positive and said "I love doing this! It's not a big deal." And I could tell she genuinely meant it, and was genuinely happy to be helping me. Not only is Ana a sweetheart, easy to talk too and professional, but she does an amazing job. She took my totally bleached hair and turned it into a beautiful balayage. Seriously, her colorist skills are out of this world! Ana really listened to me, and was so attentive to details. All my friends who had seen my terrible hair job from hell were AMAZED after they saw Ana's work. They couldn't believe how perfectly she fixed my hair! I will be back here for sure, and have already been recommending Salon Snob to everyone I know! read more

This place is amazing, the girls are great and welcoming and so sweet. Ana did an AMAZING job on my hair. I came in unhappy with my color and left feeling amazing. She really took her time and paid attention to detail. I highly recommend Ana! read more

When I saw the prices online I thought the price was a bit high but when the time came to pay I felt it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!! read more
