    An absolute GEM of a salon! The scheduling process was a delight; I was able to book a last minute appointment on a sunday with no issues. Salon is located in a fantastic area; location is very important to me. Divine service from the moment you enter the salon. I had the honor of having Effie be my stylist. Words can not describe how wonderful she made me feel that day! Apart from being extremely kind, she displayed genuine interest in making sure I was taken care of that day. I love that she took her time to understand what type of look I was going for. I felt completely safe in her hands which has been hard for me in the past with other hair salons. I wholeheartedly appreciate how she took her time with me; other hair salon experiences in the past have made me feel like they were trying to rush me out the door, so to me this meant the world. My hair had alot of dead ends which she cut off perfectly. I love that she added layers to better frame my face as well. Apart from the fabulous haircut, she gave me the best blowout I have ever had! I couldn't stop smiling for hours after I left the salon. I can't thank Effie enough for restoring my confidence and making me love my hair again! The only complaint I have is that she is so far from me since I live in Los Angeles lol. It looks like I'll be having to fly over to Chicago every so often to have my hair done by this angel of a person. If you want to not only LOOK but FEEL amazing, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Effie!

    Go see Effie!! I was looking for a new stylist near me and crossed my fingers hoping for the best. And she delivered! I am obsessed with my hair. Effie was so sweet and patient. She really understood what I was looking for and was able to execute it perfectly. My hair looks better than it ever has. Will absolutely be coming back for her! The salon itself is also beautiful and they're very accommodating with beverages. Overall amazing experience.

    If you are in need of a haircut and want to spend time with a great person, go see Joseph. He is a kind spirit and will give you exactly what you wanted for your hair and more. I'm glad I found him. The talent is real here!

    Quality stylists and quality colorists. Beautiful space. Mio Sota is a star. No attitude. Her talent is beyond amazing. George Charles, the owner, is extremely friendly and super nice.

    First timer here, I booked a haircut through Classpass for 27 credits. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the front desk agent and was offered a comfy robe to wear. They had a complementary tea and coffee bar. Bianca was friendly and professional and gave me a lot of product knowledge as well as product suggestions I can purchase for my bleached/damaged ends. I was in and out within 60 minutes. This was a much needed visit for my hair's regrowth. Will def recommend if you have the budget.

    My friend recommended me to try this salon, and I can now say I have found my new salon in Chicago! Sherrie did an excellent job with coloring my hair with balayage. I trusted her, and she colored it very differently than people have in the past. The more I see it after several washes, the more I love it! In regards to haircut, I had Cecilia. She was just as phenomenal. Her patience and keen eye in doing my hair was worth it. Both individuals helped me to understand how to love and treat my curly hair, and I look forward to coming back!

    This was my first experience at Trio. My expectations were fairly high since I'd heard so many good things about it, and I can definitely say it lived up to expectations! The staff is incredibly friendly, efficient, and professional about everything from scheduling to making sure you are happy with your entire experience. They offer complimentary tea, coffee, and water with your service. This was my first haircut by Mio (experienced, award-winning stylist!) was just incredibly lovely and attentive to what I wanted. I went from long hair to an undercut with a short bob and it was literally the best haircut I've ever had in my life. Sharie, who did my partial highlights, was also super sweet and did a fabulous job taking care of me. I would absolutely go back again!

    A few hours after great haircut by Mio at Trio salon.

As someone with darker hair, I'm extremely particular about coloring my hair, and at LG I've always felt my hair is treated with extreme care and expertise.

My hair was damaged, uneven, and honestly I was scared to try again. Lira changed everything. She not only helped me achieve the blonde I originally wanted, but she did it in a way that protected my hair and brought it back to life. My color looks beautiful, natural, and exactly how I envisioned it. Even better--my hair is actually growing back and feeling healthy again. Lira is truly a master of her craft. She listens, she cares, and she knows exactly what she's doing. If you're thinking about going blonde or need someone to fix a color gone wrong, she's the one you want in your corner. Absolutely worth every visit.

I've also referred several friends, and they are just as obsessed with Emad and the team as I am. Everyone I've encountered at the salon has been so professional and kind.
