Janet is amazing! I love my hair! We live like an hour away from her salon but I don’t mind the drive because she’s the only one I can trust to do my hair, color or haircut always come out great! Thank you Janet!

Carrie is very personable, yet maintains a professional demeanor. Carrie also gives a great haircut! I was a bit concerned at first as my regular stylist was unavailable (and she's been cutting my hair for over 10 Years!), but Carrie gave me a great cut! I Recommend Carrie Very Highly!

I came in last minute in a rush for a haircut and no-chip mani and received the best service possible! Melissa took me to the front and cut/styled my hair while Irene did my nails! Could not be more grateful for these women and this salon!

I live in Nevada now, but since finding Jess I wait to return to Chicago because I can’t go to anyone else! Watching her cut almost seems like a lesson in geometry, she makes sure to follow my wishes, and the results have always been more than 5 stars in my opinion! Plus she’s a lot of fun to talk to. Win-win.

I moved to Chicago a few months ago and as a blondie I was very nervous to try someone new, but Loraine exceeded expectations! The color is natural and bright and the cut is gorgeous. Definitely recommend!

Super friendly atmosphere and amazing hair cut. They take the time to listen to what you want and don’t oversell unnecessary products. Left with one of the best haircuts yet again, for extremely thick and long hair. I’ll be back!

Women's Haircut FAQs
There are many variations of women’s haircut, but they’re based around five main types. These are: the blunt cut (below the shoulders and all one length), the layered cut (lengths of hair cut up at an angle creating a neatly layered effect at slightly varied lengths), the bob (above the shoulder, blunt or layered), the shag (extremely layered often with a razor), and the pixie cut (short, cut above the nape of the neck).
Word of mouth referrals are always good, but if you don’t have anyone who can recommend a good women’s hair stylist, go online and do your research. Look at verified reviews, qualification levels, and their portfolio (their social accounts are likely to show some of their best-loved cuts).
A women’s haircut begins with a consultation, followed by a wash, cut, and style. The consultation is important: it’s your opportunity to tell your stylist exactly what you want and how much time, realistically, you have to style your hair each morning. They may make suggestions based on what they think is possible for your hair type and what you’ve told them before progressing. When you’re happy with what they’re going to do, your hair will be washed, conditioned, cut and finished with either a rough-dry or blow dry to really show off your new style.
To maintain the style, length, and condition of your hair, try to go in for a maintenance haircut once every 6-8 weeks.
Having your hair cut should cost around $45.
The more information you can give your stylist about your hair goals, the more likely you are to leave the salon with a style you’re happy with. You’ll need to do this right at the start of your appointment. It’s a good idea to show them an image of the type of style you like, and explain what you do and don’t like about it. You should also tell them how much time you have in the morning to style your hair. Your stylist may well share their own advice for your cut. Listen, because if anyone knows what works for which hair type, face shape, and lifestyle, it’s an experienced hair stylist.
