One would assume that in a magnificent city like Chicago I might be able to find a salon I enjoy going to and someone I can fully trust to give me a cut and color that I not only asked for, but that compliments my facial structure and skin tone. Nope. That's exactly why I book an appointment and drive 3 hours from where I live to walk thru the doors at Cheeky Strut- knowing when I walk out I'll be feeling just as magnificent as the city I live in. This salon boasts an amazing vibe, but what really livens it up are the stylists. Now, I know stylists aren't magicians (you're going to leave the salon with the same height, weight, and facial structure you had when you walked in), but if ever I would dub that title to a stylist it would be JAIME MOORE!!! When I ask for a dusting on my ends, she does Exactly that, rather than taking off a full inch or 2 like some stylists have done in the past...what a concept! When I've asked for a bit of a change and a face frame, but no bangs, she does exactly that. Now for color. Color, color, color. For those of us who weren't properly trained- garnier fructis has deceived us into believing that a $9 box of color is going to give us amazing color that will last for months on end (why would we not trust them??...after all they say they are "experts") While my days of trusting box color are Long gone...so are the days I trust anyone but Jaime Moore to color my hair. Words simply CANNOT describe how amazing my high and low lights looked when Jaime was done with them!!! They complimented my skin tone, and had so much depth and dimension! I'm so happy I found Cheeky Strut and was lucky enough to have sat in Jaime's chair- I can say without a doubt my drives in from Chicago are well worth it and I recommend her and the salon to anyone who wants a great cut, color, and experience from someone who loves to help you look and feel your best! Thank you Jaime for your amazing work and Cheeky Strut for providing an amazing atmosphere to enjoy while pampering myself. I always look forward to my visits! read more

I selected Cheeky Strut purely from the commentary on Yelp - the praises were significant and real. I have been looking for a stylist that understands my hair and coloring for over 8 years. When I moved from Ann Arbor to the middle of the state it was tough to find someone who could take my dirty blond hair, give it highlights, and then have it look great as it grows out. KL did this for me. We have changed my color up to blonder for the summer and will go back with some lowlights in the fall. I love it both ways. In terms of cut, I have fine,straight hair, but a lot of it. I hadn't realized how bad my haircuts had been previously until I let my hair naturally dry and it just stuck out. KL gave me a great cut that has my long hair hanging straight and not looking like straw. The salon itself is cute as heck - a retrofit dream in an older building. KL purchases all the items herself as she finds them and she definitely has an eye. I am planning on bringing my mother to see KL as she has terrible cowlicks. I have every confidence that KL will be able to give her a good haircut. read more

I recently moved to MI from Los Angeles and was extremely nervous to get my hair colored at a new salon and by a new stylist. I am very particular about my color and wanted to have someone do the balayage highlighting technique. Someone had reccomended that I try Cheeky Strut. Upon entering the salon I was very impressed with the chic, glamorous, yet very comfortable interior. Once meeting my stylist, Allegra and talking to her about what I wanted, I felt like I would be in good hands. Well... Allegra did such an amazing job on my color that I can't say enough about how happy I am! It is EXACTLY what I had hoped for, even though my explanation wasn't the greatest. I have had my hair done by many stylist in LA and spent over twice as much. I have honestly NEVER been so happy with the results of my hair! I'm thrilled to now have a stylist that I can completely trust! read more

First of all i would like to say personally i think that Cheeky Strut is the best hair salon in Grand Rapids. The atomosphere is amazing and very comfortable. Sin is a SHEAR genuis and i dont think anyone that i know that gets there hair done by him doesnt love it. Also, Sarah just recently did my extensions and they are amaizng. She ended up picking hair that is exactly like mine and died it perfectly to match my color. I actully got caught in the rain last night and everything curled perfectly together. I did the fusion and it was fast and easy and look amazing. I have gotten extenstion before and they do not compare to the quality of these ones. I love cheeky strut and everyone that i know that has gotten there hair cut there has said it was there Best hair cut ever. read more

Found Cheeky Strut after reading the reviews here. Looked up their site and out of everyone's page Sin's stood out to me the most. The place itself felt really clean, great lighting and a very lighthearted atmosphere. As far as the cut goes, I really feel like he pulled it off. It was something akin to a WW2 German army cut: short to shaved sides with a long top, but styled in a more modern way. He was fun, friendly and showed me how to get that 'runway look' as he put it. Very pleased and I even got a brohug. For the work he did, the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff and the overall feeling I had while there, it was definitely a bargain. I would not hesitate to recommend Cheeky Strut to any of my friends. read more

Do yourself a favor and schedule a massage with Susan Lowden. I have been seeing her for years and she is truly gifted. This is not your "average" massage therapy, as Susan is beautifully intuitive and also works her magic energetically and beyond. My first session with Susan was after a long, painful bout of migraine and cluster headaches. The doctors didn't know what to do with me to ease my pain. Susan was able to combine her knowledge of massage and cranial sacral work to not only stop the cycle of headaches, but keep them at bay with regular monthly sessions. I have since moved to Colorado and miss Susan dearly. When I come back to visit I never fail to get her in my schedule. read more

Went to Cheeky Strut on 4/23/11 for updos with my bridesmaids for my wedding. We had an absolutely amazing experience while there, and the environment was so relaxing and inviting. We had the whole salon to ourselves and the staff had put out fresh fruit, bagels, cream cheese, coffee, and mimosas! All of the girls absolutely LOVED their hair, each one of them remarked how they have never had such an amazing updo! And of course my updo was fabulous as well, I received so many compliments throughout the night. If you are ever looking for a place for an updo or an amazing style, definitely go to Cheeky Strut! They will give you the best look, for an extremely reasonable price! read more

I had a great experience at Cheeky Strut. The salon has a modern, welcoming atmosphere, and the front desk staff were friendly from the moment I walked in. My stylist took the time to ask about my hair goals and gave helpful suggestions without being pushy. I appreciated how clean and organized everything was, and they stayed right on schedule with my appointment. What stood out most to me was how confident I felt leaving--not just because of the haircut, but because the whole experience felt relaxed and professional. I also liked that I could book online and see pricing and services in advance. Definitely planning to return. read more

First let me say, the owner Katie Lynn is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. I saw another stylist at Cheeky for a while and ended up leaving after one too many poor experiences. KL reached out to me personally after I left to see what she could do to make it right. I waited a while and bounced around to different GR salons, but eventually came back to Cheeky and made an appointment with KL. I'll never leave again! Her techniques are cutting edge, and I always leave feeling beautiful. She and the salon she's built deserve every success that has come their way! read more

I have been going to Cheeky Strut for over a year now. With KL working her magic on my hair, I have received more compliments from men and women about how beautiful, healthy and great my hair looks. I have more people ask me if I have extensions and I love to tell them no. I share with everyone that my hair looks this great all thanks to KL and the awesome staff at Cheeky Strut! Cheeky Strut's make everyone feel so welcome and part of the family. As they state on the phone when you call....Cheeky Strut is the best decision you will make all day! read more

KL did my hair for my wedding and I was SOOOO HAPPY with how it turned out. It was so perfect and it lasted ALL NIGHT LONG. I didn't have any problems with strands coming out or bobby pins falling. She listened to my ideas of what I liked and didn't like. She is also very creative. All of my bridesmaids got their hair done there too and everyone's hair turned out awesome and all looked different! I would suggest this place to anyone and I will deffinately go back to get my hair cut!! Awesome Place!! read more

I have been going to Cheeky since they opened and Sarah has been cutting my hair. I have to say I never had a complaint about the cuts. I have been switching places to get my hair done for years and I have finally found a place that I will not have to switch. Sarah does a great job she can do amazing things with your hair and also fix any mess some other place has made on your head. I love what she does with my hair. So go to Cheeky Strut and see Sarah and I promise that she will do a great job. read more

I have been getting my hair done by Summer at Cheeky Strut for the last year and she is amazing! I recently got married and hired Cheeky Strut/Siren & Proper for hair and makeup. I am SO HAPPY with how everything turned out. The lead coordinator Lindsey Rae was very helpful and a great communicator. Summer did my bridal looks, which I loved! Chelsea and Allie rounded out the team and everything was perfect. I highly recommend the girls at Cheeky for your wedding. read more

I am new to the area and thought I would try Cheeky Strut based on the reviews. I have thick, wavy/curly hair and am very cautious about who cuts my hair. I was going from shoulder length hair to a short Pink inspired do. Whitney and I discussed my new look in depth before she started shearing. She was incredibly professional throughout the hair cut and she gave me one of the cutest haircuts. Whitney is an amazing stylist. read more

I've only been once, but it was a really great experience. Friendly on the telephone, friendly when I came through the door. Allegra was my stylist. She took the time to ask me about my history, where I was trying to go with my cut, and how much time/product/effort I liked to put into my hair on a daily basis. I was and am thrilled with my cut, and I didn't find it overpriced in the least. Totally worth taking a chance! read more

Had a wonderful experience today with Summer. The facility itself has a fantastic elegant clean girl vibe. Street parking with MOTU. Easy to use website for booking. Easily one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I am near 40, female with light brown medium length hair. I have about 2.5 inches of wispy grays on the crown starting to come in. I already booked my next appointment to complete the look with color. read more

This is by far the hottest salon in GR. The environment is very friendly and upbeat. You will definitely leave there happy and you will "enjoy" getting a hair cut. You can trust the stylists that works there. I personally want to thank KL, Whitney, Sin, Ann, and Scotty for taking such great care of me and my staff. You guys are amazing and you guys rock every haircut that you perform there. thanks, NV read more

I'm, not one for writing reviews, I never have, but I had to for Cheeky Strut. I absolutely love Cheeky Strut, and my hair stylist, Paige Reedman, she will forever and always be my hairstyles, from my cuts, colors, and styles/ updos for events! She is so helpful, friendly and knows me and my hair so well. The salon is so clean and everyone is so sweet! No complaints love this place and my hair stylist! read more

Came in same-day looking for a simple end of summer chop turning my long hair into a lob, and got exactly what I wanted! Stephanie did excellent work and we shared nice conversation. The shampoo massage was especially awesome, SO relaxing. My boyfriend also came in and they chopped his unruly mop off into a super sexy short on the sides, more on top look. Love! I recommend this salon! read more
