Wonderful people helping us look beautiful. Always a bit of sunshine added to the experience. read more

Yay! I found Angie thanks to a referral from a friend. Having curly hair makes any hair salon visit traumatic, but I walked out with a great cut. Thnak you Angie and see you again. read more

Always a solid cut and color. Great music and Halloween decorations. Good value. Staff is always great. I'll be a lifelong customer. read more

I got a pixie cut a few months ago and it needed a clean up, but I didn't want it quite as short as it had been previously cut. Pam did a great job and was really sweet. I am happy I found a skin in Oak Park I plan on going to regularly. read more

Yesterday, February 22, 2024, Pasquale Russo, the proprietor of Snip City, passed away of a heart attack, very suddenly and unexpectedly. He was the heart and soul of that place, and his customers loved him. RIP Pasqual, we will miss you greatly read more

Stephanie was kind, listened to me and delivered a FABULOUS color and cut. I will be back.

Price for a hair cut is too high Stylist is nice Music playing in salon is very loud If you don't like the music you're stuck read more

Emily gave me a curly cute little hairdo. Great customer service and very professional. It's definitely an older demographic of clientele. But this place is truly a neighborhood staple! read more

Snip city is the best place to get your next haircut. Not only is Pasquale warm and welcoming, but you can see this trait passed on to the others this work in the Salon. At first I was a little anxious to get my hair- both me and my boyfriend suffer from anxiety so it's hard for us to communicate to others at times, but Pasquale made the hair cut so enjoyable that I could not stop talking!! My boyfriend and I love our hair cuts so much we would recommend anyone to go here. This is a hidden gem and I hope others will get to experience the pleasure of, Snip City. read more

I really didn't want to write this review because I did appreciate the hair dresser's kindness and welcoming personality...but I want to prevent anyone from going through the same experience. I was excited to go to Snip City for my first time for a much needed haircut. Yelp reviews encouraged me to see Kristin. I thought Kristin was very nice. I was happy to see that she was young and edgy so upon this first impression and other Yelp reviews, I trusted her expertise. In the end, I thought the cut was fitting for my face shape. BUT...if you do not want/ask for thinned hair and you see thinning shears taken out...RUN. I did not know what these shears were (prior to googling). She told me that they were to help the layers blend in, but a few months after my haircut, I'm still struggling with very thin and very damaged looking ends (as the overuse of the shears literally shred your ends making them appear dead). This was probably one of the worst haircut experiences I've ever had :( As much as I appreciated the friendly staff, I will not be returning. read more

I received a hand-written apology from the merchant with an invitation to return for a complimentary haircut. I have great respect for merchants who actually keep an eye on their reviews online. Should I take you up on your offer to return, I will most certainly be happy to update my rating. Kudos to you guys either way for taking the time to reach out to me. read more

Snip City is a wonderful place to get your hair done whether you are a man, woman or child they are accommodating, clean and the service is excellent. I have been going there for years and it is safe to say that I have "problem hair". My hair is very thin, with that kind of gray coming in that is actually silver and very hard to color. Paquale is my personal genius when it comes to hair styles and coloring, as well as tips and tricks that I can do at home to make myself look like I've just stepped out of a salon. He has NEVER steered me wrong. He has shown me the best ways to style my hair, which side my part should be on for my face, has recommended styles (as welll as set me straight when I wanted to do things with my hair that simply wouldn't have looked good). I love this place! Even the shampoos I have gotten there (complete with head massage) were incredible. They are terrific about scheduling you at your convenience and if you have friends that also go there they put us all in at the same time so we could hang out together (as well as provided a very friendly and warm atmosphere). Going to Snip City is like coming to visit family and friends. Even when I lived close to an hour away it was always worth the trip to come back there time and again to get my hair done. The cuts are cutting edge (ha, get it?) and their coloring is also top notch. When they suggest different things my advice (seriously) is to at least listen to their ideas, whether you go with them or not. They know what they are doing. They've made me look terrific when I felt my hair was hopeless as well as taught me how to make it look good at home. WELL worth the money (pricing is not bad at all), unless you don't feel you're worth it.... and come on, of course you're worth it! read more

I've been going to Snip City since I was a kid to get my hair cuts. When I was little there wasn't much to do with it other than trim the bottom but now that I'm an adult I like to keep it spicy. Either way I don't trust anyone else with my hair (other than my year in Los Angeles). I have strangely wavy and frizzy hair and I've been told honestly and nicely that some cuts I want won't work and been pleasantly steered towards better choices. It's always a pleasure to go here and that's why I keep a standing appointment every couple of months. AND I love when they decorate stuff. read more

I've been seeing Pasquale, the charismatic owner of this fine establishment, since I was six years old. I'm twenty six now and I wouldn't dare go any place else. That's hundreds of haircuts, and never a bad one. It's a very friendly, familiar and welcome environment, with cleanliness, courtesy and decor that match the excellent level of service provided. My favorite quality of this salon is the variety of clients served. There has always been a healthy mix of families, professionals, older folks and trendy young people -- a real cross-section of the community that Snip City serves. As I always say, universal appeal is always a good sign! Give them a shot, you surely won't be disappointed. read more

Pasquale is the best, he gave me a haircut David Beckham would envy! There open late most days and the rates are competitive if not less expensive than other high end salons. The atmosphere and the vibe of the place is just cool. There located in a trendy neighborhood with little restaurants and bars all around them. You best bet is to book ahead of time because they do the business and are always busy but not busy enough to take care of you in a bind. Bottom line they love there customers and the customers love them. read more

Go to snip city!! And let me just say one magic name when you do go: Kristen! I am loyal to Kristen at Snip City for 3 1/2 years because she does such an outstanding job keeping my bright blonde hair healthy! (and she's a really nice girl!). She cares about the condition of my hair. I receive random compliments on how nice the color looks and how long and healthy it looks. The salon was very festively decorated for the holiday last week, which is fun! And the owner Pasquale and the girls are always very nice when I stop in every couple months! read more

I am new to the area and this was my first visit to the salon. Emily was absolutely lovely! I have a rather boring cut (long with bangs), but she was very meticulous & I love it! She even helped me rethink a new style for my fringe that I am very happy with (so is my partner) ;) I will definitely become a regular. read more

I have only been highlighting my hair for a few years so am not good knowing terminology/explaining what I want. I got a cute cut and highlights from Pasquale last week and wasn't completely happy with the color a week later. He let got me in (called when there was a cancellation) and touched up the color perfectly so it blended better. His customer service is outstanding. He gives the best hair cuts and the rates are extremely reasonable (with the ability to stop in to get things 'fixed' if you don't like something). The kind way he treated me, his technique and the great atmosphere has made me (and my daughter) want to only use them in the future. I highly recommend Snip City! read more

Snip City has gone downhill a bit with the departure of the wonderful Kathy, but it is still a pretty good spot. The place is always nicely decorated and accessorized. This may seem shallow, but I figure if the salon looks good, then they can't do much damage to me and my coif. The stylists are all friendly and listen to my requests. The kids' haircuts are a bit pricy at $25 (I've started taking them to BoRic's) but other services seem in line with what's out there (my cut and blow dry is $45). They recently added manicures, but I haven't had one yet. read more

Five stars for KRISTEN!!! She does my hair, and she's fabulous. I'm black and she does my hair better than anyone my own color. She's excellent and a total sweet heart. I travel an hour and fifteen to get to her because she is the best stylist I know. She's always on time with my appointments and the other staff members seem nice enough. I believe she was even on a haircut show because of how great she is. Go see her! read more

Update! After my rather unpleasant first visit, I received a phone call from the owner, Pasquale, apologizing for my experience. He offered to send me a gift certificate and invited me back for an appointment with him. I received a box from the salon yesterday with a note of apology, a gift certificate, and a full size Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner. Quite impressive! Obviously Pasquale cares about his customers and their experiences and is willing to make it right. If I return to Snip City and have a great experience I'll be happy to give even more stars. read more

I have been seeing Pasqual for years, he is the best hair cutter I've ever had. I really trust him to figure out what to do with my thin white hair as I get older and older and less and less traditional as I age! Last summer he gave me a multi-color tint that was incredible and won me compliments everywhere I went. I think this shop has the best cutters in the Oak Park and River Forest area; plus it has a wonderful sense of community there, too, something white hair salons are usually missing! read more

I've been going to snip city as far back as I can remember, in fact I'm pretty sure it is where I got my first hair cut. I love the people and the service. Every time I go in I find myself involved in a great conversation. All I do is tell them the functionality I want out of my hair and the general length and I always come out with a great hair cut. read more

They're the best I've been coming here my whole life and have never had a bad haircut. Kristen usually cuts my hair and does a great job but I've also had just about everyone there do my hair at somepoint and have never had a problem. Everyone is so nice and they really care about making the customer happy. read more

Maya has gone but Kristin is good with color.

I've been going here since I was a little kid! The staff is superb -outrageously friendly and knowledgeable. They do a terrific job with giving you the haircut YOU want, while also giving you informed-insights on what is best for your face shape, hair texture and type, etc. Balancing respect and valuable honesty. I am always happy after leaving this salon. read more

I used to use this haircutting place a lot. Now I use BoRics. But this place was awesome. Kids can get great cuts, and so can adults. I love the workers because they are nice to everyone. Go here for a great haircut! read more

I have literally never been to a better salon. Each and every employee is thoughtful, kind, and good at what they do! They are really playful and sweet to my little sister. All the women in my family go there, and we all adore it. Pasquale (the owner) is also a total hoot! :) read more

Best cut I've gotten anywhere, good pricing and super friendly and accommodating.

This place is great. I have gotten my hair cut by just about everyone there. Support your local businesses!

After a traumatic experience in another place, I decided try Snip City for a haircut and I love it. Paschal is such a gentle and friendly person, and he is so professional! My hair looks great! He understood what and wanted and he did it exactely how I asked him. I strongly recomend it! read more

I have been going to snipcity for a year. I swear im in love with my stylist KRISTEN. She is the best. I 100% trust her opinion. She does an amazing job. And its worth the the cost. I dont want anyone else touching my hair. If you try this place ask for kristen. read more

Great prices and hair stylists, friendly service!

Been coming here for a few years now and I do love it. All the stylists are friendlly. I see Pam regularly and she is sweet and always gives me just what I asked for. The prices are in line with a salon but not over the top. Products are there but don't get shoved down your throat. Great place to try if you are looking for a friendly professional hair salon. read more

I went to this place based on the reviews - and it was clean and friendly, but my hair cut was really uneven - Like it was cut by two different people. If you do want to give it a chance, I suggest ask for one of their more experienced hair stylist (I didn't specifcy and my stylist looked very young). read more

Great place. Have been searching for a salon since moving to Chicago in summer of 2008. A little more than I am used to paying but it is worth it. The salon is clean and attractive and the haircut I recieved is stupendous. It was nice to not feel like I was at an assembly line salon. read more

I've been going to Snip City for many years for my haircuts and have never been disappointed. Pasquale is the man! He just knows what to do and what looks best for me. My wife, daughter and three sons have also been there many times. Great, friendly atmosphere! read more

Kristen is a 5 star stylist! Her haircuts are excellent. I can tell because I only have to blow dry my hair and it looks fabulous. She knows how to make small changes that make you feel alive and brand new! She is very, very nice, down to earth, has a good, positive energy. Everyone is friendly in the salon and always easy to get a late night appointment which I need. Love, love, love Kristen and I am very picky! read more

We had a good experience at Snip City for back -to- school haircuts with Jacqueline. She listened to my girls and did a great job with slightly more grown -up styles, including some layers. They left looking beautiful after a full blow dry. Thanks! read more

I just called to schedule an appointment with Kristin next Tuesday night right before Thanksgiving. I get my hair done so rarely that I wanted it to look nice for the holiday, when I'll be visiting my boyfriend's family. At first, they said there was no opening, but then Pasqual was kind enough to schedule me at 9:15 pm! Any place that will stay open late right before a holiday is too kind. Thanks Snip City read more
