Aaron treats his customers worse than he expects them to treat him. Allow me to explain:…read more I showed up for a haircut today 8-9 minutes late. Aaron refused to see me, saying it would ruin his entire day. Maybe that seems reasonable to you -- I was late, and it was his first cut of the day -- but here's why it's not: In the year or so I've been going to him, he's cancelled on me twice. Once, he said he was sick and asked if we could reschedule. When I asked when we might re-sked -- informing him I needed a cut before the weekend for MY WEDDING -- he went days without responding, only offering actual appointments after I followed up several times. No offer to connect me with someone else in the shop, no recognition that this was important. Then, a few months later, he cancelled on me literally as I was on the way to the shop: "Hey bud! I've got you at 8:30 am but I'm out in the suburbs right now for some birthday stuff and won't be back until a bit later. Can I get you in later today or later this week?" When I sent my availability for a reschedule, he again didn't respond until I followed up. Illness is one thing. "Birthday stuff" is just blowing me off. In short, Aaron will cancel on customers at the last minute and ignore important rescheduling requests. But if you show up 8-9 minutes late, he will refuse to see you, then speak to you like an aggrieved party. He will cite a policy on the website that says they "generally" do not accept customers who are ten minutes late, even though you're objectively NOT 10 minutes late. (And let's be real: a customer showing up 5-10 minutes late is part of running a barber shop. Or a dentist's office. Or whatever.) EDIT: He will then charge you full price for your "missed" appointment and send you a quasi-apology that also insults you. I kept going to him because he was convenient, reasonably priced, and seemed like a good guy at heart. But no more. He's actually petulant, unprofessional, unreasonable, condescending, unfair -- just childish, really. I see a few other reviews that state the same.

Manal was great at communicating how she was going to achieve what I was going for (a blend of…read morehighlights in the root area and lowlights in the shaft.) She nailed it, and what I really appreciated was that she said that if after seeing it in different lighting I felt it wasn't dark enough that I could come back in and she'd throw another toner on to deepen it. After leaving the salon and seeing it in outdoor lighting and warm toned indoor lighting, I realized it's probably perfect as is. But I really appreciated that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure it was exactly what I'd envisioned. I'll definitely be back!

I'm so glad I finally came here! After my stylist at another salon moved away, I was on the hunt…read morefor not only quality and convenience, but someone who wouldn't overcharge me. I absolutely found that here at Manal Studio. I appreciate that they have an online booking system so you're not confined to business hours to work on your plans for the week. The system also sends out text reminders which are always helpful. Upon arrival (free street parking on side streets, by the way), you're greeted with nothing but good vibes. It smells lovely, everyone in there is kind and happy to see you, and there's soft music playing. Ahhh, an oasis. Muna took care of my color and Manal handled my cut. It was really comforting to have the owner with 25+ years of experience cutting my hair. Picking a new salon is anxiety-inducing! Both ladies are so lovely and did a wonderful job on my hair. Manal did a consultation with me ahead of time to better understand my hair color and cut preferences and worked her magic to help me leave with the desired results. I'm looking forward to coming back again soon. :)

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.

You'd rather I come in and infect everyone? I moved to a far better salon in A-ville, and am much happier.

We were in for a treat!! I had one of the best touch up/hair dye and blow out jobs I have ever received. Mary was the stylist who worked on me, she has 50 years experience and it shows! She was able to blend a perfect color dye to blend my roots and the rest of my hair. She also gave me a killer blow out.. I received a better dye job from her than I have in my visits to some other pricier salons down the street. The place is also not too busy since there are 2-4 stylists working and the prices are awesome. Men's haircut $15 and roots/blowout $65. The owner is really nice too, always welcoming and treats each customer with kindness. Come check this place out!! Just don't come at the same I do :)
