I could say so many great things about BASE but one thing I can say for sure is that Mandi & Allie are the ONLY people I will ever allow to touch my hair. I trust them with their very careful process of making sure I am not damaging my hair through how blond I keep asking for them to make me and they take their time to make sure that their clients are not only happy and satisfied with their hair but RAVING about their results. Khrystyna's eyelash extensions are such an amazing addition to BASE hair studio bringing natural lashes to great lengths - one thing I cannot stand at regular salons is the amount of noise with a million other people surrounding you with their pounding music and at BASE you feel relaxed and comfortable. Being on such a tight budget nothing could be more perfect than their $20 blowouts from Allie for all the events during this holiday season couldn't be more of a gift!!! Love you guys for all that you have done for my hair 5+++++ stars read more

This place is now my go-to for all of my hair and makeup needs! The girls there are very professional and work with you to create your desired look. I had Khrystyna do my hair and makeup for my daughter's wedding and couldn't have been more impressed and in love with the results. About a week before the wedding she also did my lash extensions which I was hesitant about but she quickly calmed my nerves by explaining everything. After I had them done I was so glad that I did it, they are BEAUTIFUL!!! She also did the makeup for my daughter and her bridal party and did an exceptional job on all of the ladies. We were definitely satisfied with the results and certainly will be back again for our next event. read more

I have been seeing Mandi and Allie for over three years for cut, color, and styling. I have recommended them to anyone who will listen! Those who have taken my recommendation are equally as thrilled as I am with the skill, consistency, and professionalism of these two. Their range is also unreal. I've never had a hair stylist who does red as well as them (not an easy task) but they have been just as good at taking me blonde, dark, and even pink! No matter what I'm looking to have done, they always nail it. This is super impressive because I'm hair illiterate, but somehow they always get it -and execute it perfectly. They're the best of the best. read more

I have always wanted to transition towards a bolder blonde balayage, but no one could ever quite execute it exactly how I wanted. Mandi was referred to me from a friend, and since my first appointment with her a couple years ago she has always exceeded all my expectations! Now each time I go, I fully trust her to do whatever she thinks will look best! Mandi and Khrystyna are so kind and welcoming and both excellent in what they do. The salon is super cute and clean, and the service has always been excellent. Worth every penny! I would definitely recommend! read more

I relocated from Chicago last year and was REALLY nervous about finding a new hair colorist and stylist after having gone to the same guy for 7 years. My friend recommended Mandi to me, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! I wasn't looking to make any changes to my cut or color routine (my hair is on the longer side with highlights, lowlights and I also like to get a glaze), and she was able to perfectly match my color on the first visit! Highly recommend Mandi and her team for their professionalism and perfectionism! read more

Shina at Base Studio is truly an EXPERT hair stylist!! I have been going to Shina for over 6 years and I always leave the salon feeling ready to walk the runway. I have been stopped by women in stores countless times asking who styles my hair! Shina is a master at achieving the icy blonde color I love. She is extremely knowledgable about products, hair health, and the newest techniques for color and styling! Shina is an absolute sweetheart, she genuinely cares about each client and lights up every room she is in. read more

THIS IS YOUR GO TO PLACE!!! I have never experienced a more powerful duo like these two! The talent they have is unlike anything I have ever experienced from stylist in my life. The passion they both have shows in their work and in their attitudes and I promise you will never leave unhappy! Whether you are a returning client, a brand new one or a referral from someone you know Base makes you feel like you have been coming here for years!!!! You won't regret the decision to make Base Hair Studio your go to place! read more

Base Hair Studio is a refreshing change from the busy large salon scene. Such a beautiful, clean, and intimate space. I had great hair care from Mandi and Allie (as always) and was so impressed with the studio they've created. I came to my appointment from a busy day of work and was able to relax and enjoy my experience in a calm atmosphere. I have been seeing Mandi since 2014 and was lucky enough to have her and Allie style myself and my bridemaids for my wedding. I cannot rave enough about their amazing work! read more

Love my Brazilian blow out and hair cut by Khrystyna! Khrystyna is a DOLL. I felt like she knew exactly what I wanted when I told her, and she out did my expectations. It's been a couple weeks and my hair still feels as if I just got it done. I left extremely satisfied and recommend her to all of my family and friends. The salon was clean and they have a coffee/cappuccino/espresso machine available for you which was perfect to sip on while getting my hair done. Will be back again. Thank you!! read more

Mandi has been doing my hair for around 6 years. I have extremely curly course hair that I'm sure is very difficult to manage but Mandi never complains and always does a FANTASTIC job with whatever she does (normally I get balayage, Brazilian treatment, and cut) I always leave the salon loving my hair. I should also mention that I have red hair and she's the only person in the world that I trust to balayage/highlight it. Khrystyna is also extremely talented! BEST SALON EVER!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! These talented ladies are here to stay and I cannot wait to just get back in there for my next appointment. Grateful for them to have perfected their craft and able to share with us what they know. All the different styles and shades of colors they are here to help. Ive never felt more comfortable picking and choosing a new look! I walked out of there feeling and looking great! Thank you Allie!!! #foreverclient read more

I have gone to Allie 2 times for cut and color and I am hooked! She has taken my hair to the next level. She went above and beyond to make my hair lighter and brighter to give me the look I wanted from previously dyed hair. I am planning to get back in to see her in the next couple weeks before I head back to school! I live in Chicago and come to see her when I get a chance!! read more
