She is not only worth EVERY PENNY, Chyla is a joy to work with! I was immediately drawn to Chyla's understanding of our needs, her kindness, passion for what she does; & her clear expectations for the day! She is so proactive, genuine and very responsive with communication. Within hours of connecting, Chyla provided me with a contract, set expectations & a wedding day schedule!

We all wanted a softer and more natural look and she executed our vision perfectly! I had never felt so beautiful- polished & put together!

From the trial to the wedding day, she was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to feedback. I had specific preferences around how I wanted my makeup and hair to feel light and natural while still showing up well in photos, and she completely nailed it. She listened carefully, made small adjustments based on my input, and the end result was exactly what I hoped for. I looked like myself, just elevated and glowing. She was also amazing with my mom, who can be particular about my makeup and hair. Chyla took the time to talk through my mom's comfort level, test a few options, and make sure she genuinely loved her final look. It made the morning of my wedding feel calm and collaborative, and my mom felt so confident and beautiful. Overall, Chyla was not only talented but also kind, communicative, and professional: the perfect person to have by your side on such an important day.

I started getting haircuts with Sarah at Freyja three years ago when I first moved to Chicago and I…read moreabsolutely LOVE her cuts. I chose Freyja after checking out Yelp and seeing glowing reviews from curly-haired customers (not counting the trolling reviewers of course). It can be hard to trust a stranger with your curls but I'm so glad I went with Freyja. I love that Sarah knows how to work with my curl patterns, even the wackier ones. She's super fun to chat with too, and the new location is beautiful. All around a great experience! I moved out of the neighborhood, but I'll be heading back here for future cuts.
