Got there about 10am, requested for service, Emmah advised to get Micro braids instead of the mini, as my hair was too short. In short, with my own hair piece, it cost me $366.00. Sat through consistent loud talking, disregard for clientele, who mentioned refreshment, no offer of even water or a break. My braider didn't speak English, anything I wanted to say was something else, when she was done, I asked her, what the finish would be like, she braided the end, dipped the human hair in water, didn't shape or trim hair, she just braided, no shape to hair, 366 wasted for shoddy work, didn't even offer a mirror for me to look at work done, at this time, I was very much tired from wasted time and constant loud talking, I had to leave, but will make sure people are aware of this shoddy mediocre work parading as a beauty empire.

All of the braiders are good - some just faster than others. You can schedule an appointment or walk-in. I'd recommend arriving right at 9am when they open and going on a weekday (vs. weekend). I think the prices are reasonable for the various styles.

Hand down this is one of the best hair color experience I ever had. She is genuinely sweet. I have a dark hair and it's very tricky to get a nice balayage but she got the job done without any damage and in very short time and I am very happy that I found her and definitely will be back. Totally recommend her to anyone who looking for balayage or highlights done. Thank you Justyna for brightening my hair and my day :)

Justyna is absolutely amazing!…read more I have curly hair and I have always have had bad luck with haircuts. I told a coworker about my problem and she recommended Justyna and I have been going to her ever since; almost 3 years. Every time I come in, I tell her what I want and it is always the most perfect haircut. Justyna is the only person I let cut and touch my hair, LOL, she always delivers an amazing haircut and experience. If your new in town or looking to change stylist this is the place to go! You will not regret it!!!

I have naturally wavy hair. Following two bouts of hair dying, not straight perming my hair for a…read morewhile, and many days of aggressively combing out the tangles in my hair, my poor locks were in dire need of help. And Yip's Salon swoops in and saves the day once again! Instead of getting my usual Japanese straight perm, Sally actually recommended I get the Keratin treatment this time around. While the Keratin treatment lasts only about 3-4 months compared to the 6-12 months with a Japanese straight perm, the Keratin treatment reportedly gives hair unparalleled softness and shine. There is also a straightening part to the treatment, so my hair did end up straightened, but not PIN straight like the Japanese straight perm. This was great because I always thoughts the Japanese straight perms made my hair a little TOO straight sometimes. I was a little skeptical at first because Sally asked me to keep the Keratin solution in my hair for 48-72 hours after treatment for optimal results, so by the time 48 hours have elapsed my hair was a sticky, greasy mess. BUT OHMYGAWD, once you wash the solution out, you have Pantene commercial worthy hair! Am so glad I gave the Keratin treatment a go like the pro recommended, and you should too! I like it even more than the Japanese straight perms, it renders a more naturally straight hair look and your hair looks like a million bucks afterwards!

You will have no regrets coming here, I was very fortunate to find this salon on a whim. I was a…read moreloyal customer to a hair salon back in California for about 5 years. Having moved to Chicago, I knew it would be a struggle to find someone who I could trust and was worth the money. I refuse to go to overpriced hair salons. Called for an appointment. I came in with long hair that had not been cut for about 1.5 years. I was reluctant to find another hair stylist since the pandemic. Sally was the most meticulous and knew exactly what she was doing as I roughly told her what I had in mind. I came in for a trim/layers and highlights. I felt like I was taken care of to the fullest extent. I felt compelled to come right home and write a review for this business. Sally and her sister are skilled at what they do for +10 years and best of all, affordable. I am extremely happy to support a mom & pop/local business. I was provided the service and warm conversation as if I was having my haircut by an auntie! I will be coming here again without a doubt.

The only complaint is that it was so painful to put my hair into an upward ponytail because the braids around the edges were so tight. They also did a good job on my daughter's cornrows, but of course the braids were too tight. The atmosphere is like most African braid shops, they could all stand a deep cleaning. The braiders speak in their native tongue, while the customers endure long hours of braiding and getting an ear full. Of couse, you get your regular solicitors coming in trying to sell their merchandise. Overall, it's a layed back environment. Aicha herself is really sweet, and she listens to what the customer wants. She will also give you her advise if it's accepted. Her co-braider can be very opinionated about what she feels you should do with your hair. However, you would love the results. The neighborhood is really laid back for a shop on a busy street (North Ave). You have McDonald's one block west of the shop and a gas station. Two blocks east you have a Wendy's, and Pizza Hut. You will not find any healthy joints near this shop. Also, if you're in the mood for Jerk Chicken, 3D's is about four blocks west on North Ave. Give Aicha a try if you're in the area looking to get your hair braided. They braid really tiny and of course neat.

I'd been putting off my haircut for a while since I was enjoying growing out my hair, but with how hot it's been lately, I was just so over my hair constantly sticking to my back and feeling heavy - not to mention all the split ends. I asked for face-framing curtain bangs and to cut off however much seemed like dead hair. She kept checking in with me to make sure I was happy in terms of the length at the back of my head and the front. I didn't see any other stylists in the salon, and another customer showed up a little after I had just sat down in the chair; however, she still took her time with me and didn't rush. At the end, after she had already taken off the smock, she even sat me back down to perfect a little more (all while this other, I'm assuming walk-in, customer was waiting right behind us on the couch). $35 + tip for the cut and blow dry. Will definitely go back for my next cut.
