    haircut layers
    Kelzie T.

    I booked an appointment for a haircut and Bekhi was my hairstylist. She honestly did a phenomenal job! She executed what I wanted perfectly and I couldn't be happier. She's so sweet and kind, I had a wonderful time This is my second time coming to the salon and so far I had nothing but good experiences. Shoutout to my friends who recommended this place to me! Would definitely vouch for this place

    Got my hair cut by Kei. He doesn't speak English, but with the interpreter it was easy. He really considers your hair type and provides options on ways to improve your request, which I really appreciated. Definitely very knowledgeable and super detail oriented. Overall great experience

    With my Asian hair it is so hard to find American hairstylist that can work with Asian hair. I ended up getting choppy haircut that also giving me split ends. Then I started to get my hair done in Chicago (used to go to the salon at Chinatown). I am not too satisfied with my hair there so I searched again and found Salon Yangmi. Book appointment and traveled about 6 hours from Kentucky to Chicago. Arrived 15 minutes earlier, waited just a few minutes, and get taken care of right away. I totally recommend this salon, why? 1. I don't feel like my stylist, Noah is rushing. He made sure that my hair is ready for the process. (The other salon I felt the rushed and scrambled around, my hair was not prepared well). I am a nurse, I used to have 6 patients for myself, so ability to multi task is understandable, and Noah still took the time checking. 2. I told Noah what I want, without picture for reference and impressively he gets it, I came out from the salon just the way I want it. 3. The 2 ladies that washed my hair were courteous and gentle, not rushing. 4. Salon was very clean, nice, and cozy. So does the bathroom. They didn't pick up and reuse things that fell on the floor which I really appreciate it. (The other salon was the opposite). Overall, I am very happy and satisfied, everything was worth what I paid for. Since I found better salon now, I definitely will come back to Salon Yangmi again (not too soon tho because of the 6 hours drive, but when I visit Chicago again, definitely I am going there to pamper myself).

    I've been coming to Salon Yangmi for around two years now, and they have never failed to give me the most perfect haircut! Amy cut my hair today and did the most amazing job. My haircut was identical to the reference photos I showed her, it's truly so impressive her attention to detail! I am so happy with how my hair looks, and couldn't be more excited to wear the new style. Thank you so much to this masterful team for being so consistent!

    Oh my goodness! I absolutely love my haircut!! Based on the excellent reviews, I booked a haircut with Yangmi and boy oh boy, did she deliver! With this summer heat, my naturally curly hair gets frizzy and just uncontrollable. I've had a pixie cut before but i thought it was time to go back to it. I showed Yangmi what I wanted and she did such a great job! I feel feminine, powerful and I love it! It will definitely help me take this summer heat! Thanks Yangmi for your hands of magic and how sweet your staff is. You were kind, gracious, gave me exactly what I wanted and you were quick. I will definitely be back!

    I always make an appointment to avoid having to wait. Been coming here for new hairdos for the past 2 years. Over this time, I've gotten 1. hair cuts (i.e. long bobs) 2. setting perm (took 4 hours, curls were great for 9 months) 3. hair dye (2 rounds of bleach and then hot pink color, took 3.5 hours) and every time I have received satisfactory service. I don't speak Korean, but there's always someone who can translate there on the weekends. I usually bring a couple pictures as examples and ask them to for advice and to do what they think will look good. I was really impressed by their experience and skill when I got the setting perm. I had previously tried to get a digital perm in San Francisco (Sunset) at an asian salon thinking they'd be experts, but it was a huge flop and waste of money. I took a risk and tried again at Salon Yangmi and the results were exactly what I wanted. The recent hair dye and cut I got last week was also successful. I showed a couple pictures and got exactly what I was looking for. I recommended this place to my friend who was in town from Indiana and she too was happy with the cut she got.

    Ruined hair. I'm in shock. It was pink first and then they tried to correct it. Untrained colorists left me utterly devastated.

    I have never had a hair experience like this in my life. I came with 5 photos of what I wanted for the color: an auburn-honey tone with some dimension. Like the photos I uploaded here. *** also note, my hair had NOT been dyed or colored in 4+ years. And that was only some lighter highlights. *** They first bleached the lighter pieces which is normal. Then the applied the coloring. I noticed it was really pink and asked about it. They told me "it looks like that now but when we dry it it won't." When it dried, it was PINK. My friend and I told them this needs to be corrected because it was nothing like the photos I showed them. They suggested all over color to convert the PINK to the treatment I showed them. They showed the color book with the hair color they said it would be. When they put the color on it was literally ORANGE. I called the Manager, Sam, over to alert him and he insisted that it would be the color from the color samples they showed me. It wasn't. As they were drying it I knew it. I could see the ORANGE and then other areas where the PINK was there. I left the salon with ORANGE and PINK hair. I literally cried in my car because it was so awful. If you're white, I would not recommend going here. They don't know anything about dying hair. The whole time the two "colorists" acted like trainees. I now have to find someone to correct this orange-pink mess; I'm completely devastated. PS: Hard to believe but they actually charged me for the botched color job: $140. What would they charge me anything at all? That's like going out to dinner and the whole meal is not what you ordered and then they come back and say "we only charged you for the main course."

    Just moved from California and was in desperate need of a new stylist. I hadn't had my hair touched up in over 2 years! I'm always a little apprehensive going to a new salon but I am SO glad i took the chance with Salon Yangmi. Hoyeon did an amazing job and turned my hair around completely! I appreciated how transparent she was upfront--the price, lift potential, and most importantly... what was a reasonable expectation. Throughout the entire appointment Hoyeon and the other ladies were extremely attentive and there wasn't a minute wasted. Have gotten so many compliments on my hair. Will definitely be recommending this place to friends!

    What I was left with after leaving Salon Yangmi

    I love that your answer to all of the bad reviews is that "there was a miscommunication" how is there a miscommunication when I showed the stylist a picture of the cut that I wanted which was a shoulder length Bob but I ended up with a Shag with bangs when I never told her I wanted bangs. The miscommunication is due to your stylist not speaking English but taking English speaking customers and not giving the customers what they asked for even when a clear picture is shown of what I wanted. I ended up having to go somewhere else and pay double the price for an attempt to fix the mess I was left with. I will never step foot in your salon again.

    Blonde balayage!!
    Iris Z.

    This was my first time getting a blonde balayage and my hair designer, Hoyeon, was so professional throughout the whole process! She really knew what she was doing and I really love the results! The color lifted really well and that could be hard to do on darker hair. I highly recommend this place if you are thinking about coloring your hair

    See all

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.

    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.
