By far, hands down the best salon in the city. I am very picky about my hair color and style so I was so happy to find Jenny, Kim, and Pam. The customer service is amazing. From the time I walk in the door to the time I leave, I feel like I'm being given a five star treatment. Highly recommend this amazing salon! read more

Kim is THE BEST! I walked in with dull, lifeless hair and walked out feeling like a movie star! I showed Kim a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it - now my hair has movement and bounce and I'm ready to go out on the town :) Plus, she throws in a great scalp massage and fun conversation. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm forced to give a star, but don't want to because Pam canceled my haircut apptmt. When I made the apptmt. I said I have very short hair & asked what the difference was between a man's cut, which they charge $35-$45 & a woman's cut, which is $55-$65. I told them it's discrimination & illegal to always charge women more than men, & when I asked the woman on the phone if they'd post charging black people more than whites, she said of course not. Same thing - both would be illegal discrimination. Just like always paying men more than women. I made the $65 apptmt anyway, & suggested they reconsider their pricing & how they're publicly displaying the disparity based on sex. They're entitled to charge as much as they want based on experience, the style of the cut, & time it takes, so it'd be fine to post price ranges like based on a basic cut or something more involved. But the Chicago Human Rights Ordinance says it's illegal to treat people differently based on their membership in a protected class like gender in employment, housing, & public accommodations. As a woman, I should be entitled to get the lower-priced "man's" cut. But Pam told me not to come to the salon & to find somewhere else to get my hair cut. She may not see me tomorrow, but she may not have heard the last from me. read more

Jenny rocks my curls!!! I, like most curly haired woman have always been challenged with finding a good stylist, hair cut and products. I moved to Chicago two years ago and just knew someone in this city would save me from my hair. I then discovered Ouidad online and found Fox Hair had a certified Ouidad stylist. My hair has never been the same...in a REALLY good way. :) I constantly get compliments on my curls and other frazzled curly haired girls stop me on the street and ask me what my secret is. I gladly tell them about the Ouidad cut that Jenny does for me. One big plus I like about Fox Hair is, it's not a mass producing salon. There's Pam, Jenny and Sean. It's very personal and relaxed, unlike some of the higher end salons where you feel self conscious just even being in their presence. read more

Having been to more than 20 salons (or is it 30? could it be 40? gulp) in my many years in Chicago, I've learned to wait a couple visits before deciding how I feel about a place. Having just had my second cut and color at Fox Hair, it's safe to say I'm in love. Intense, consistent attention to me and my neediness, a relaxing environment, and fantastic results. I've got straight hair, transitioning from super-short, and I've been longing for a look that's a little more sophisticated but not Stepford wife. So I'm a tough customer. I want layers but not too layer-y. I want rich color but I don't want permanent color. I want it to look fantastic, but I don't want to brush or blow-dry... Wow, I'm annoying. But Pam listens and makes suggestions... and listens some more and makes more suggestions. I love the way my hair looks now possibly even more than my first time there. That to me is a sign that I'll get the same star attention each time I visit. Another thing I appreciated... Although I felt like I was getting a haircut, Pam only charged for a trim. I guess it wasn't a full-on cut this time. She said that I'd probably only need a full cut every other visit. Maybe this is common with other salons, but I've never experienced it before. I've always paid for a full cut every time I went in. So, that was a nice extra surprise. I also love that there are so many shops I love right near this place, so I can get lots of errands done before or after my cut. Score and double-score. read more

Pam Fox saved me! !!! I had a bang disaster the night before where a woman at a DIFFERENT salon BUTCHERED my bangs: I had wanted a trim and she took off 2 inches off on a slant- it looked horrible! The next day I ran to fox hair on my lunch break and Pam sat me down right away and fixed it in a minute. I am pretty picky about my hair too. So sweet and helpful, I will definitely be back. Trust your tresses to Fox Hair read more

Lovely neighborhood salon. Small, cozy but modern, excellent stylists. For the past year or so I have given control of my locks to Jenny and haven't been disappointed. She knows whats 'in' and whats not. She urges me to try new looks and it always turns out better than I could have ever expected. I have gotten more compliments on my hair in the past year than I have ever before. I love that it is small, everyone knows your name and is so nice and helpful. I have the best time when I'm here chatting and laughing. Enjoying a diet coke while getting my hair done isn't too shabby either. Usually I can get an appointment within a week, which is great because I seem to procrastinate and when I go- I NEED to go. Somewhat expensive, but not more than any other comparable salon. You get what you pay for- and its worth it. Parking is readily available at the meters on the street. When you leave looking and feeling fabulous- head next-door to the Irish Bistro and enjoy a drink at the bar and show off your new look. read more

Pam Fox will make you love your hair. Since I've started entrusting my tresses to Pam, I've been perfectly satisfied with the results. Delighted, even. Pam is utterly kind and a true professional. I don't know what on earth would inspire the review that ChicagoD gave Fox Hair but I would take those words with a grain of salt. Many of my friends have gone to Pam for years, and I would not hesitate to recommend her or her lovely staff. (A shout out to Jenny and Seanpaul!) The atmosphere is very relaxing and serene. I never feel rushed. Pam is careful, attentive and I benefit from her creativity and perfectionism. She may gently recommend something new but she is very sensitive to my response. She asks for and listens to feedback and really takes her business seriously. She treats her clients like friends and I feel that she really puts her heart into everything she does. Side note: If you drive, parking here is a snap. I always find a spot right in front. Summing up: lovely, kind people; excellent service; serene atmosphere; easy parking. read more

Great blow out! I'm not giving 5 stars because when I made the appointment I told them I had to be a wedding ceremony by a certain time, but they were running late and made me late. read more

I have been going to Fox since I moved to Chicago 4 years ago. I used to go to Molly, but she moved and Jennifer took her place. At first I was nervous to start going to a new person, but she totally proved herself and I am now hooked. Her prices are very affordable and she gives a great scalp massage while doing the hair washing! I recently colored my hair here and Pam (the owner) and Jennifer had a lengthy discussion trying to decide which color to use on my hair. As a busy mom and wife, it felt so wonderful knowing that people were making time to seriously consider the color of my hair! I felt very attended to and important. And of course, I was elated with the coloring results. She is also certified in a special technique for curly hair -- I don't have curly hair but she has told me about it and I'm sure she is wonderful at it. Another plus -- parking is always plentiful! read more

Being a curly girl, I searched for the perfect Ouidad certified hair stylist in Chicago. Coming across Jennifer at Fox, I was thrilled to get my first official curly-girl-cut for my modeling, photo shoots, and physique competition in March and May 2010. Though the service is pricey, if you have the cash for a full-service, first-class experience - go to Fox Hair. I was thrilled with my haircut! My curls had never been bouncier! I felt like a million bucks as I left the salon. I was treated with the best service anywhere. Jennifer made me feel "like a regular," though it was my first visit. Again, I returned in May 2010 for a touch-up before my pageantry/competitions. She made me feel so beautiful with my curly locks cut just so. The Ouidad cut is definitely the way to enhance your natural curls!!! read more

Fox Hair took my son as a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon. The stylist was very good and took her time to ask him questions about how he wears his hair, what products he used, how active he was. $35 for a mens haircut. Tip: If you check in on Yelp, they give you 10% off! read more

I moved to Chicago two years ago and spent several months searching for the perfect hair stylist. I had a stylist in Texas who knew my hair extremely well and would cut my hair exactly how I asked. After several stylists and one unsatisfied hair cut after the other, I gave Fox Hair a try. Jenny is amazing! My hair looked fabulous! She was able to interpret how I wanted my hair cut and go above a beyond to make it look fabulous. I also have bangs and they always look fabulous after I get them cut. Definitely ask for Jenny when you go. This is also an Aveda salon so they sell a few products. They don't have full make up service, but they do have a few items (lipstick, lip gloss, etc) and of course, shampoo and styling products. I live in the neighborhood so it's easy to access by walking, but you can also get to off the Brown Line (Irving Park or Addison stop). I would recommend to anyone anywhere in the city to give this place a try. The service is great, whether it's your stylist, another stylist or someone helping you out when you walk in. The prices are also extremely reasonable, not only for an Aveda salon, but exceptional quality. read more

This is a LONG overdue review for Fox Hair! I cannot say enough amazing things about Jenny and Pam. I've been going for a few years now and will never go anywhere else! Jenny is the first stylist I've found who really gets what I ask for ... she always makes sure I'm happy with my cut before I leave her chair. On those rare occasions where something's just not quite right, she makes sure all is well before I head home. Not only is Jenny an incredibly talented stylist, she's also just an amazingly sweet person. I love chatting with her during my appointments. My favorite Jenny story, however, involves no talking at all. Last summer I had an appointment about 8 weeks after having twins. I was exhausted beyond words. I actually fell asleep in the chair. Jenny managed to give me a haircut AND let a new mama get a nap. Amazing. I love the small feel of the salon as well ... makes it feel much more like you're sitting in a room among friends rather than a big factory-type place. Another bonus is that I live just a few blocks away. SO nice to be so close to the salon! read more

I have been going to this salon since I lived right around the corner about 6 years ago. Before going here I never had a permanent stylist. I cheated on every person who ever cut or colored my hair. But then I met Pam (and Jenny and Sean), and I have never strayed. First of all, this place is like family. I adore Pam, Jenny and Sean and it is always so great to see them. I bring my sisters here whenever they are in town and Pam and Jenny did our hair for my wedding. Walking in is like walking into someone's home and hanging out with friends. As for the hair, Pam has now crafted several different shades of red/auburn for me (I like to change the color a lot) that are all fantastic. The particular shade I have right now never (EVER) fails to get compliments. Constantly. Friends, co-workers, random people on the street tell me how much they love the color of my hair. I get squeamish about compliments, usually, but when people notice my hair I think that's great and I tell them exactly where they can find Pam. She does a fantastic cut too... don't get me wrong, I love the way she cuts my hair and she is always in tune with whatever I am thinking I want to change about it. But ladies, if you have ever had red hair, or wanted red hair (I am a mousy brown by birth) or even just wanted someone to make a shade of color for YOU... then you gotta go see Pam. read more

Jenny was amazing! It's really tough to find someone that really knows what they are doing with my curls. Jenny jumped right in. She was professional and talented and took time to walk me through each and every step. I'm excited to go back. read more

Love this salon very professional but also very friendly. First time getting my hair color Leah is awesome. She asks you what you're thinking you want and then makes a few suggestions as to how it can be accomplished leaving the choice up to you. She answers questions honestly and let's you know the pros and cons and if unsure as I was she gives expert recommendation and reassurance. The end result is fantastic I love my color it captures my natural highlights and gave me rich color Thanks Leah Awesome job!!! Curly girls Jenny is every curly girls dream come true in a stylist. She listens to what You want and then explains how she can achieve it. I had the Ouidad cut which is the best curly cut by far ( I've had the other ) Jenny shows you how to recreate the style and advice on products to use and why ( No Oversell). Thanks Jenny my hair looks terrific and I'm so happy with the "new me". Love you guys!! Don't miss this great Salon it's unbelievable and you'll love the results!!! Mary Ann Just had hair colored. Love this salon and Kim is awesome!!!! This salon consistently out performs for curly hair girls. Jen is amazing !! I will never go anywhere else. Came home boyfriend thought I looked amazing Thanks Kim. And thanks to Pam and Jen!!! If you have curly hair you must come here. Always friendly and super professional. They keep me happy and will continue to rely on their professional excellent friendly service. Love you guys! read more

I went in to get a different look for my unruly curly hair. Normally stylists just opt to make it straight because working with the curls is not part of their skill set, but I knew I wanted to stay curly and try out this technique/products from Ouidad. Jenny, a stylist at Fox Hair, worked with my schedule to set up an appointment and I was ready for my new do! I wanted to go a bit short and Jenny understood my apprehension to go too short. She did an awesome job! I've never had someone work so well with my hair (it normally doesn't play nice)!!! She talked me through the whole process so I could maintain the look at home and shared with me each product. The combination of the two made for a worry-free me. One of the true tests of a do for me is the next day...how would it hold up to sleep. Well it went great...looks just as good! I'll definitely go back again and tell my friends...especially the curlies ;) read more

This city has tons of salons, and in the 16 yrs I've lived here, I've been to a bunch of really good ones--Vidal Sassoon, Salon Blue, Sine Qua Non, Salon Buzz, Maxine, Salon Blonde. Fox Hair is definitely one of them. Owner Pam Fox takes her time with her clients, gives tips on styling and caring for your hair. And the prices here are extremely reasonable. Very unpretentious and comfortable neighborhood place. read more

Just got my cut with Jenny, and they're not kidding! She's great! I would definitely recommend her to all curly girls (and guys) cause she's been trained in the Ouidad method for curly cuts. That ain't easy but she's a sculptress. She also recommends their line of hair products, which I will be using now too, since they're sulfate free. Gonna bring my whole family! read more

I went to Fox Hair for several years, but finally decided that my time is more valuable. The owner was consistently late and very, very slow - not careful or concentrated, just slow. She consistently booked other appointments while your color processed, which only takes 30-45 minutes. After sitting there for over half an hour AFTER the buzzer dinged, I vowed never to go again. The worse thing about it, is that she would never apologize. Even if I got my cut, color, and products for free, I would never return. read more

I recently went to Fox Hair to see SeanPaul, on the recommendation of a friend. I am, at my admission, a control freak. So I was more than pleasantly surprised at the results. I went in for a drastic change, very excited to get my long hair cut in a bold new style. My enthusiasm infected SeanPaul as well, until that is, I changed my mind last minute. He handled it with great aplomb, switching gears and giving my exactly what I wanted..I referred a friend to him, and she is getting her hair colored tonight. I cannot wait to see the results! read more

Everyone at Fox Hair is fantastic. I have been known to go in once a week just for a blow dry. I would trust any of the stylists there with my hair and that is not an easy thing to say about a salon. They also sell Aveda and Bumble products which are two of my favorites and Pam makes the cutest headbands. I am so lucky to have them in my neighborhood. read more

I can't say enough good things. I have gone here for about 3 years now and Pam and Seanpaul are the best! I was hesitant with my last hair cut but now LOVE it. They always squeeze me in when I need anything. The shop is small and personal, and it feels great to have such great service where the owner knows you by name. It is very modern without being pretentious and the stylists are always talking about new things that they have learned or new ideas they want to try. Street parking is a breeze, plus the #11 bus and the Irving Park Brown line stop are both 2 minute walks away. There is no reason NOT to go to Fox Hair. read more

Just got my 2nd haircut with Pam Fox and I'm happy. Will let a few more cuts take place and then write more.

Love this place! Pam is a genius. Can't tell you how many compliments I get on my haircut & color. Even my mother-in-law thinks I'm a natural redhead! My hair is super straight and she does a wonderful job, it's a haircut that looks as good week 6 as day 1. And the price is right too. Plus, everyone there is friendly and approachable. 5 stars. read more

Fox hair is a great salon. They did a really great job on coloring my hair. I liked it so much, I'm going back to get my hair done for my wedding! Vanessa read more

Fox Hair is the greatest thing about my neighborhood! The salon is adorable and friendly. I started getting our hair cut here when we moved into the "hood" and I have told everyone I know about this place. Although I am extremely sad that Molly moved to San Diego I have been just as thrilled by my haircuts with Pam and Sean-Paul. Sean-Paul does the hair of all my "troubled hair" friends and does an absolutely fantastic job! And he is so much fun!! I always feel right at home here and they treat me like a queen!! read more

I have only lived in the city for a few years now, and just recently have I stopped traveling back to the suburbs for my hair and eyebrows. I found this place on Yelp and was glad to see it was right down the street from my apartment. True to the other reviews, the experience was great. Jenny cut my hair and did my eyebrow wax, and the price was totally reasonable. The cut was exactly what I asked for, and it still looks good weeks later. Not only that, but she was super friendly. I'm not typically a chatty person with people I don't know, but we really had some good conversation going during my haircut. I've been back for another eyebrow wax since, and it was just as good as the first one. I'm due for a haircut pretty soon, and I will definitely be returning to Fox Hair. read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR I went for the special "Ouidad hiarcut" and the hairdresser Jenny thinned my hair out with a razor and cut it unevenly. She claimed that she wan't using a razor. I now have to wait for my entire head of hair to grow out to get back to its original thickness. The only thing I'm grateful for is that I have naturally thick hair, so that I still had hair after this process. Skip the haircut, maybe they can do other things correctly. read more

Pam Fox is amazing! She takes her time, asks lots of questions and makes sure she gives you exactly what you want. She also offers a two week satisfaction guarantee...within two weeks of your appointment you can come back and get any corrections or touchups to your Haircut you want. She does an amazing job and is worth every penny she charges (average for an experienced stylist). Love love love her!!! read more

Pam Fox knows Blonde hair. I have had my color jacked up all over chicago and Pam knows what blonde hair should look like without drying it out. It's natural and the outgrowth is not dramatic where I have to get my hair done every 4 weeks. She blends it with my natural color. She also knows how to cut a perfect graduated bob. With all of my cowlicks and different textures. I Left Pam when I moved, what a disaster. I'm back now and will never leave!!!!! read more

I have been going to Pam Fox (the ownder) of Fox Hair for almost eight years now - and I live in St. Louis! She has taken me from long hair to shorter back to longer and introduced me to color and I have not had a bad hair day since 1998. I'd say that's well worth every trip.... Pam has an eye for design and her cuts not only work from day one, they grow out beautifully. I have gone up to 5 months without a trim without losing shape or managability. She is a total pro and this salon is a gem. GO TO PAM!!!! read more

Very cute, non snooty salon with talented stylists. I had quite a bit cut off and Kim did an amazing job, honestly one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I literally walked in there shaking I was so nervous to cut my hair, but was quickly put at ease. Kim is very laid back, easy to talk to, and no pressure (she didn't push a single product on me). I felt like a good friend was cutting my hair at home-except I left with high quality work. Pricing is not bad either. This place is a gem. I won't go anywhere else from now on. read more

Jenny is very friendly does an amazing job with color and cuts, the pricing is lower than a lot of other salons I've been to, plus Pam & Kim are super friendly. The location is great and appointments are quick to schedule. My only small complaint is that I wish there was an online scheduling tool. But I highly recommend Jenny & this salon. read more

i had a great experience at Fox Hair. I went in to buy hair product and walked out with the most beautiful hair color. Seanpaul spent a lot of time with me (a walk-in) to find just the right color. He also showed me how to better use a hair product I already own. I will definitely go back. Highly recommended! read more

If you have curly hair, a Ouidad cut and products is the way to go.... I have tried many but always come back to Ouidad. I have been going to Jenny since i moved to Chicago 3 years ago. She is great with curls and i like the atmosphere... not frenzied or loud. read more

I used to get my hair butchered at Hair Cuttery, and have tried some of the fancy places like Genacelli, Fox Hair seems to be the right fit for me, I dont want to spend a grip of money on a haircut but i also want a nice haircut that will grow in correctly as i let it grow out. I have always gotten a great , never rushed cut from Sean Paul, he always takes his time and i never feel like i get a rushed job which has happened at a few places. The quality of hair cut is as good as the higher end Lakeview places so its definitely a good value. Once I found this place, I have not gone anywhere else, except once last year and regretted the hell out of it. read more

I have been going to Fox Hair for 6 months and have had a great experience. Jennifer has cut and colored my hair and I am very happy with the results. Pam, the owner, is very personable and the other sylists are also friendly. I have been to several different salons in the city and Fox Hair has been a great find! The pricing is reasonable and competitive. read more

I must say I walked by this salon for years and never looked twice. But my need for a haircut got the best of me and I walked in to schedule an appt. I am very happy I did. It is a salon where the stylists are well trained to cut and color and give a great "current" cut. They can cut thick/colicky hair (like mine), short, long or curly. I am very pleased with my new do and after 6 weeks of a shorter cut, it is still in great shape - which I think is a great value. Please be aware this is not a Cost Cutters so I would suggest you sit back, relax and enjoy your appt. The vibe is sweet & mellow and the costs are comparable to other salons in the area. I am also happy that I can support businesses in my neighborhood - even though it took me a little bit of time to get there. read more
