Very relaxing hair wash. I didn't think they would style my hair but they dried and styled my hair! Felt super light, clean, bouncy afterwards.

You don't appreciate a good hairdresser until you've had a bad haircut. Norris is excellent…read more Although you might have to wait a little while he tends to another client, he checks up on you and is focused on your needs when he is working on your hair. Every time I come, I bring a picture and he ALWAYS DELIVERS. My hair when I leave looks like the picture. That is not easy and I really miss this quality of service now that I'm not in Chicago.

I cannot say enough good things about Lira Hair Salon. I came in after a disastrous visit to a…read moreso‑called "blonde specialist" who completely ruined my hair while trying to take me from brunette to blonde. 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 was called by the salon less than 24 hrs prior to my appointment to move up my time by an hour…read more And in that conversation I expressed wanting to have a consultation as I have long hair without any dye. When I had a sudden issue on my property and needed a plumber, I was told I needed to come to not be charged for the full service. So I made it out. A consultation is a conversation. I was going to get a full service, but the front desk insisted I get enough to match the balayage inquiry. I couldn't get a word in. No way would I trust my hair with someone who won't listen. So I left. And they charged my card $400. Vibes 0/10, customer service 0/10, skill level unknown.

Everyone was very friendly and nice! Mandy did my blowout (Groupon) and my hair looks great! The…read moresalon is not super high end, but she did a great job on my hair. There is a friendly dog named Moose who was hanging out in the salon as well. I watched another stylist doing a little boy's haircut -- he was so patient and made the little guy feel less scared and we were all ooh-ing and ah-ing once he was done. I would highly recommend!

Bad experience trying to cancel an appointment. I had booked a balayage appointment with Tara, and…read morewhen my plans changed, I called to reschedule more than 24 hours in advance. I was then told that Tara has a separate 48-hour cancellation policy and that I would still be charged a cancellation fee, despite that policy not being listed anywhere on the website. The whole interaction left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't even want to reschedule afterward. It felt really misleading and just poor customer service. I was also told that Tara's specific cancellation policy would be added to the website, but it still hasn't been. Posting this so others are aware, because there's no reasonable way to know cancellation policies vary by stylist if that information isn't clearly disclosed upfront.

When visiting Chicago seeing Keith at Arsova Salon is an absolute must. Keith is super skilled,…read moreattentive, and he listens to his clients. His color, balayage, cuts, and styles are modern and beautiful. The salon itself is open, airy, and spacious. Arsova is also located in a cute neighborhood with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby in case you want to get styled and go out afterwards. It is also worth noting that the booking and payment process was seamless. Overall I recommend Keith and Arsova Salon.

I want to share my experience because I think other women should know what to expect…read more I came to the salon asking for blonde highlights, but my hair ended up looking noticeably darker than what I had asked for. What disappointed me most was not only the result, but the way my concerns were handled afterward. Instead of taking responsibility for the result and trying to understand why I was unhappy, the stylist repeatedly shifted the conversation toward blaming me. I was made to feel that the problem was somehow related to my language barrier and cultural differences in communication. At one point, the conversation even became about money and what I had paid for -- essentially, "You didn't pay for the whole highlight, right?" -- which felt completely inappropriate and shaming. I have never experienced this level of disrespect or lack of accountability in a beauty salon. I left feeling sad, embarrassed, and unwelcome, when I had simply come in expecting professional service and to be heard as a client. I want to be clear that I don't believe this experience represents the values of the entire salon or its owners. My issue is specifically with this individual stylist and the way he handled a situation when the result did not meet my expectations. I am sharing this so other women, especially those who may have a language or cultural communication difference, know to make sure their concerns are genuinely listened to and treated respectfully. A client should never be made to feel guilty or ashamed for expressing disappointment with a service.

Her cuts are always excellent, she recommends (but doesn't pressure you to buy) great products. When she washes your hair, you will find yourself secretly hoping that her scalp massages could go on forever. The vibe is relaxed, frequently there's jazz on the sound system. There is always a beverage for you to enjoy, while you look at the beautiful salt water fish. Duet is good for your peace of mind, wonderful for your hair!
