She is very talented,…read moreyou can show her a picture of what you want your hair to look like.. and POOF by the time you walk out of the salon, your hair will look like what you asked. She has tacked ombres, highlights, bangs, inverted bobs, bobs, layers, you name it.. she will deliver. Also she does a great job styling your hair after the cut (major bonus). Not only is Alex amazing at doing hair cuts for women.. she can do cuts/styles for men too! I send my boyfriend to Alex, and again.. I told her I wanted his hair to look like Justin Timberlake slicked back side part (trendy now in mens hairstyles) and she did it! His hair looks great, and it's a style you could NOT get done at a super clips (sorry boys). Alex is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone with confidence!

Dana, the owner, who is also so sweet and fun, cut almost 8" off my hair my first time seeing her, and it looked amazing! I have lots of hair and it ranges from kind of wavy in the front to full on S waves in the back, so it's not the easiest to work with. Dana just knew exactly how to shape it so that it lays right, but still has lots of swing and movement. This salon is such a great find for me. Compared to what other salons charge, it is so reasonable to leave with hair you love!

I just had to review since I know lots of people like myself that…read morehave a hard time finding a good salon. and because of prior bad experiences, I had not cut my hair in over 8 months. I moved back to my hometown Chicago from NY after 10 years so I was looking for a hair stylist to stick with. shortly after I moved back in spring of 2013, I had a bday party to attend and needed a cut badly. on short notice I stopped by the nearest chain hair cuttery. it's wasn't a bad cut necessarily but it wasn't a good one either. she missed trimming at least one layer. and she scolded me for having dry hair, doing keratin, and not cutting my hair every 6-8 weeks. fast forward to this past Friday. I read a few reviews and also wanted to stay within driving distance of Jefferson Park. so Aiyu peaked my interest. I was super nervous but as soon as I walked in Dana was so warm and inviting. the place is small but very neat and modern. she mentioned her training and education which did put me a little at ease. conversation flowed with Dana, but I never felt pressure to converse (sometimes I just want to read a magazine or play with my phone and not necessarily have an hour long convo while my hair is being done) (FYI: I'm an introvert). but I felt really comfortable. the wash was great, she conditioned my hair more because it was dry and needed lots of dead hair cut off. but she never once scolded me. she asked and actually listened for what I wanted. and I too asked her opinion on length to cut but she didn't go crazy cutting my hair all short. I wanted a cut but I still wanted my long hair. when she was done I admit I was a little surprised, it was probably the best cut I've had. all the dead hair was gone. my hair was still long, and it was shiny and soft and so flowy. my boss complemented me as soon as I walked in to the office yesterday. I'm loyal in that when I find good service (car shop, hair salon, etc.), I stick with them forever. Extra points for sending me a "thank you" email. thx Dana, I'll see you soon.

I decided to take a break and that's when I found AVS! It's very hidden in park ridge located across from the metra tucked behind a closed street. Thanking them for their website where I was able to read personal bios and reviews and figured out that Amy Doda was my best option. What really drew me to her was reading other reviews how she will cut your hair as close to pictures as possible. Upon entering, I was greeted and I was heard! She understood the assignment and I love that she's a visionary, she can picture everything in her head beforehand. We had good casual convo and I really liked how the haircut turned out. It's really tough to find a good hairdresser these days and I think this has been the best one I've found to date in or around park ridge! The owner is also extremely friendly! Highly recommend!
