I've worked with a few of the stylists at Studio SLK and I'm always satisfied. I've had natural hair for a decade and rarely visit salons because I'm capable of styling and maintaining my hair by myself. However, every now and then I need to venture to a professional to get a trim or to simply give myself a break and Studio SLK is the only place I trust. Studio SLK is clean and comfortable, not to mention well decorated. The prices are reasonable and about what you'd expect for any of the services provided. During my most recent visit, while I was getting a haircut, two other ladies were getting relaxers, another was getting a blow out, and another was getting a sew-in. I showed Sandy one photograph of the haircut I wanted and she was able to recreate it for me easily. Great experience from start to finish. Go see for yourself! read more

We love Studio SLK. Tiffany always gives my daughters beautiful haircuts - they really take care of us

I enjoy my service with Tiffany, she is very professional and my hair is always beautiful and bouncy. And the vibe at the shop is warm and inviting. Lorinda read more

Great customer service, always interested in satisfying the customer. Very easy to get an appointment and handle the payment.

Long overdue update. Had issues with my schedule that prevented me from going back. Hopefully a visit back once settled again in Chicagoland. The salon helped me het extensions from another stylist last minute as my orginal stylist cancelled on me last minite. The salon has a peaceful environment and is progesionally run. Based questions that were asked personally by me on hair care and amswered by staff I am beyond impressed. I I give them 7 Stars on the 5 star scale. read more

Studio SLK is one of the best hair studios in the North Shore area for high quality black hair care! I started working with stylist (and owner) Sandy in 2018. When Covid lockdown started, I was began to transition my hair from relaxed to natural. Throughout my hair transition, she helped me find styles that I could manage and enhanced my look. Sandy is kind, patient, and knowledgeable about hair. I feel very comfortable asking questions about hair care knowing I'm going to receive guidance on what is effective with my hair type. I still get compliments on my hair and most importantly my hair is the healthiest it's ever been!! Tiffany is my daughter's stylist and she loves the Tiffany's styles and care she's received. We couldn't have found Tiffany at a more perfect time! She's helped my daughter learn more about hair care during her independent years of high school and being away at college. Her hair is healthy and flourishing with the products Tiffany recommended. The vibe at Studio SLK is welcoming and chill. All services are reasonably priced and appointments are scheduled properly to avoid long wait times and overbooking. Call and book an appointment. You won't be disappointed. read more

Going to SLK shop is what I call my calgon moment. Because from the moment that I step through the door I am always met with a warm smile and hello from the staff. I always leave feeling refreshed because Sandy has me looking good and feeling great. If you need a calgon moment in your life please give SLK a call to set up your appointment. read more

Just an all around cool vibe! You can tell that Sandy has been doing this for years. She is very knowledgeable about all things hair and also just life. Really enjoyed my experience there read more

A calm atmosphere with excellent services. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Sandy is amazing!

This was my 1st time at SLK Salon. It took almost 2 weeks to get an appointment. I asked to have my hair cut and styled. I tried to describe what I wanted. I did not like the work of 3 earlier salons. But now, I do not think that I'll need to go any where else. The atmosphere was great, friendly, comfortable. I'm not good at describing what I want. But Alia talked about my hair type. She was spot-on. I will be scheduling another appointment in 3-4 weeks. Sorry, I failed to ask for help taking photos this time. I didn't ask for pictures before. I just wanted to let my hair grow out so that I could forget the earlier experiences. Abbott M. read more

I called three days in advance asking for an appointment to straighten my hair for my birthday and I had gotten a call back three days later to come in the day of at 4 pm. I am a college student and wanted to find some place quick. I waited for three hours in the salon and she had only washed my hair and when I kept asking her when she would finish she kept saying she would get to me soon and never did. She also kept calling me desperate and I feel like my time was taken advantage of. She never told me I was being booked with another person or that it would take this long to simply get my hair straightened. Do not go to this place, going to downtown Chicago is definitely more worth it. read more

This salon is one of the most unprofessional salons in the greater Chicagoland area. The stylists are absolutely incapable of accepting constructive criticism. Tiffany is the worst of them all!!! She's immature, rude and absolutely classless. She gives others in her profession a bad name. Take it from me, don't waste your time or money patronizing this salon. There are much nicer, cleaner and professional options available to you. read more

Shout out to Tiffany! She always has my hair on point. She listens to me on my style preferences and encourages me to step out of my comfort hair zone every now and then. Highly recommend studio Slk & Tiffany - very professional! read more

The establishment was wonderful, but my stylist's customer service wasn't as wonderful. I had to ask to see my hair which typically is done to get the client's feedback. Interesting experience. read more

I'm here every two weeks! Tamica is good for my hair, and my hair has improved TREMENDOUSLY since I started going to her! Easy 2hr street parking, nice area and next to a restaurant! Good friendly stylist and just a good atmosphere all around! read more

Courtney has been braiding my hair for 4 years because I now refuse to let anyone else do my braids. In the past I've had people braid my hair too tight. I've had to take pain pills to deal with people braiding my hair too tight. One time I got my hair done woke up the next day and took them down because they were so tight I was in pain and getting bumps around my hair line from pulling. Courtney is very gentle with my hair. I've never had pain or even slight discomfort after she braided my hair. I've expressed how important my edges are to me and she agrees. Not only are her braids beautiful they last! An added plus is she doesn't send me home smelling like Pink Oil or cheap products. She's extremely nice and professional. I used to dread getting my hair braided now it's a pleasant experience in a beautiful atmosphere! read more

Excellent service. Owner is wonderful and professional. Tiffany is excellent stylist. Highly recommend

I was able to get my hair done last minute. Alia did an Awesome job! I love my hair! Thank you read more

I love Studio SLK they provide excellent service and care for natural hair as well as other styles. I have been going to see Sandy for over 20 years and would not trust anyone else to help me make decisions about my hair care and that of my daughter. Due to the current shelter-in-place order, going to the salon is not possible. Studio SLK offers virtual sessions where the stylist of your choice can talk to you about your hear, recommend products and walk you through step by step. I was successfully able to style my daughters hair with the proper shampoo and conditioner as well as the correct brush to blow dry and feedback for correctly flat ironing. I was very please and would use the virtual zoom session again until the outside is back open. check out Studio SLK and tell Sandy that Kelly sent you! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Studio Slk. They are always professional and have great customer service. I have had multiple stylists and have left satisfied every time. The staff clearly care about the health of your hair, and help you maintain it. I have since moved from Evanston and miss this studio very much. Anytime I'm back in the Chicago area I will stop by. read more

At first glance this place is great! Neat and clean, nicely decorated, and punctual. But, at the end of the day my haircut was botched. Now, to their credit, I have unrelaxed African American hair and I prefer to wear it natural. For some hairstylists hair that is very curly is a challenge to cut and style. This is why I specified my hair needs as I was scheduling. I figured this must have been the problem because I saw some satisfied customers leaving with relaxed hair and/or ironed straight styles. Long story short. Somewhere along the way the cut went really bad. I wound up having to go to another stylist who had to cut even more off to get the dimensions right. read more

when I first walked into the studio it seemed upscale and not your typical hair salon. It was very clean, stylish and soothing. After a long day of work and visits to other salons that pale in comparison, this place is wonderful. The hairstyle I received was grade A. I can't believe that I am just finding this place. They don't just style your hair but you get a sense that they actually care about the health of your hair. I will definitely be back! read more

My daughter was able to get a last minute appointment here for color & style. The result was phenomenal and I've shared my daughter's experience with others. I will be making an appointment shortly for myself as I was very pleased with the level of professionalism and quality of service. read more

Thank you Aaliyah!!! JB loves his hair and so do the parents!!!! You do a fantastic job on his twists!!! Thanks again!

Welcome back SLK we missed the amazing service that you provide. Thank you Sandi and your staff, for your dedication and hard work. Thank you for the warm greetings today from the moment I enter the shop, follow by my temperature check, hand sanitizer, Covid 19 screening questions, and signing waver. The furniture was rearranged to comply with the social distances guidelines. Thank you for caring , simply amazing,well done. Thank you for the extraordinary service you provide. Mahalia read more

I always have a wonderful experience when I visit this salon. Alia and Sandy(the owner) are excellent stylists! They are great at both styling and keeping the hair healthy. I recently had an appointment with Alia to prep my hair to go under my wig. She deep conditioned my natural hair, blowdried and put it in cornrows. She did a great job as usual. Definitely visit this salon if you are looking for knowledgeable stylist who will have you hair looking fly while maintaining its health. read more

I also showed Sandy a picture of what I wanted and she recreated it. She follows your lead if that's what you want.

Awful! Awful! Awful! Never had such bad service, they even doesn't wash your hair before cut! And hunt your ear by "accident", burn your skin by super heat hair dryer ( don't understands why they drying your dry hair?!) No surprise, the hair-style is like oh my ladygaga! I have to wear hat in next few weeks! I really want to know who issue them the license?! And why they have confidence to charge $35 with the terrible work? Will never never never get back, I hope I can give zero star! Btw, the lady who serviced me is the one with short red(or pink whatever) hair, I don't know her name, hope she can get more professional if want to earn life in this field! read more

I love getting my hair done here. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming as soon as you step through their doors! Tanicca is a fantastic stylist! She makes sure that you're comfortable and will hook your hair up! Sandy is such a sweet lady (the owner of the shop) If you haven't been here you need to make your appointment NOW! read more

I am so happy that I found out about Studio SLK! I moved to Evanston about three years ago and have been searching for a salon in the area that really knows about hair and works with clients to promote healthier hair. I have locs and so it was very important for me to find a stylist who knows about hair and would work with me on my loc journey. I am so happy that I have Tanicca as my stylist. She is excellent, super informative, super nice, and extremely helpful. I look forward to my next visit :) read more

Great experience from the moment I walked in!! Beautiful space and great service. Sandy also took time to understand my hair needs!

It's a nice cozy place. Sandy is very kind and thoughtful. Price a bit higher than ordinary haircut place but hey, for the warmness and service it's worth it! read more

I went to Studio SLK today for the first time and absolutely LOVED it. The ladies that work there are super nice, and took care to make sure that I had a great experience. I got the best sew in to date from Tiffany and I am thrilled with the results! I would definitely recommend! :) read more

I've been going to Sandy for years now. She's the only one I trust with my natural hair. She has natural hair as well so she knows how to handle it. She straightens my hair for me and she does good braid outs as well. What I love about her is she isn't just money hungry like many beauticians. She actually cares about her clients. That's hard to find in a stylist! read more

This place is wonderful. I don write reviews but this is my 5th time coming here and every time. They handle my hair. I get a wash cut and style and I tell you Tanicca is the best. She listens to what you want and also gives great advice with hair styles. Plus I was able to get a last minute hair slot. Very professional and welcoming. I would recommend this place especially if you have short unmanagable hair. read more

My friends and I have been going to sandy for years and I am please 9 out of 10 times. Everyone is entitled to an off day. Not to mention I can be picky. I love the new shop. Very clean, bright and always good music playing in the background. I always see another stylist doing weaves and they always look super nice!!! My only complaint would have to be "staying on time" and that there are a few younger (immature) staff or other staff that rent chairs. read more

This hidden gem is perfect! The salon is clean, stylish, and beautiful. The ladies are very professional and friendly. Everyone said hello, the staff offered me refreshments, and plenty of magazines to read. Charrise (if I spelled it right) did an awesome job on my hair. My first time in this place was an overall great experience and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

This place deserves 5 stars and above! My first visit was yesterday and I felt like I had been there for years. From the moment I entered, the receptionist was beyond inviting and made me feel right at home. From the clean, beautifully decorated and upscale feel, this salon is great from looks alone. I have not had my hair trimmed or relaxed in a LONG time, so I was nervous to have both done and the outcome. My stylist was Sharice and she was wonderful. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, she made sure I was okay with every step of the process. I had a few inches of dead hair and she made sure before cutting it I was okay with that amount of hair being cut and I appreciated that because some stylist just cut and ask questions later. Sharice made sure my relaxer and trim was to perfection and I left feeling amazing. This is now my new salon and I'm so glad I found it! Thank you all for being so welcoming!!! read more
