I wish I could give more than 5 stars - Ursula, Katherine and Hair Fusion Bar are just absolutely…read moreamazing!! I had chemotherapy 2 years ago and have been trying to grow my hair back since then. I finally decided - why wait years to have the hair I really want?? I went in for a free consultation and learned all about the different type of extensions and what would work best for my hair. I scheduled an appointment with Katherine for about 2 weeks later - she helped me pick out exactly the colors I would need to achieve the look I was going for. Pricing is discussed up front and there were no surprises at the end. I feel absolutely amazing, and because of the INSANE deals they offer to their extension clients on blowouts - I'll be back next week to have my fabulous hair styled. While I was getting my extensions done, I watched the owner do highlights on another client - I have never thought about getting extensions for highlights instead of bleaching/damaging your own hair - I can't believe more people don't do this. Brilliant!

A few weeks later I spent the whole day with her as she TRANSFORMED my hair and me! My extensions look just like my real hair. She was meticulous in mixing hair colors and ensuring all areas of my head were covered. In addition to doing an amazing job, she's also a really kind person. Couldn't be happier!

I have lots of thin,straighter than straight hair and Marissa's precise attention to cutting detail and application of my color. Reverie has a calm, ordered atmosphere, a wonderful antidote to the usual frenetic,spin on a dime atmosphere at work. It was wonderful to have someone attend to me. Two thumbs up, I'll be back.

Lilah killed it again. I wanted to go brighter and to do something a little "different but similar"…read moreand she was able to read through what I meant and give me exactly what I wanted. And as always, always super comfortable and down to earth at this salon. The color is absolutely gorgeous, even just for a solid all-over color it has tons of dimension and is not your normal red. The cut was perfect. I am not great with requesting what kind of hair I want - I just said I wanted to switch it up a little and had a few ideas - and she was able to put all of my ideas into a coherent cut. I've been getting tons of compliments. I completely trust Lilah with my hair!

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've been seeing her for over a year now, and my hair has completely transformed it's healthier, stronger, and looks better than ever. I was completely bleach blonde last year!! I also highly recommend getting a Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment during your appointment. It works wonders and makes such a noticeable difference in the health and shine of your hair. TRUST me!!!! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your hair and consistently delivers amazing results, Fay is the one! Also the receptionist is the kindest person and always goes above and beyond!!

I came in and my hair was nothing short of a hot mess. Amanda couldn't have been more patient taking 2+ hours to remove my matted extensions, carefully consulting with me regarding pictures I eventually wanted to look like again. She gave me me 2 amazing treatments that were desperately needed for my scalp and integrity of my hair and educated me on how to properly take care of my hair. She gave me her personal number to text any time with questions. She really could not have been more professional. The salon is absolutely gorgeous and intimate. The manager took 30 minutes of her time to take pictures of my new cut & treatments. The salon and Amanda have a customer for life. Overall a really amazing experience. Do not hesitate coming here, your hair will be in good hands!

Bait-and-Switch Pricing: $190+ Advertised, $680+ Quoted In-Person…read more I had an extremely disappointing experience at Gold Coast Salon that I believe constitutes deceptive business practices. What I Booked: I'm new to Chicago and found Gold Coast Salon through Google, where they're listed as a "relaxed salon" with quality work. Their website clearly advertised full babylights starting at $190+. I booked an appointment with Ashlee on 5/15 and paid a $95 deposit. She immediately requested photos of my current hair and my desired results, which I provided (see attached photos). What Happened: I arrived early to my appointment on 5/29. After examining my hair, Ashlee quoted me $680-$700 for the service without blow dry or cut. This was over 3.5 times the advertised price. I understood the "$190+" meant the price could vary, but in what world does a jump to $700 make sense? That's not a reasonable variation, it's egregious and deceptive. I came prepared for the price to be higher than the base rate, but this kind of markup is completely unreasonable for babylights on already blonde, shoulder-length fine hair. When I expressed that my budget was $300-$400, she offered to "see what she could make work." She returned with a scaled-down option: face-framing highlights and a few babylights for around $390. During this back-and-forth, she claimed the high price was due to this being a "full color correction." Look at my photos. I'm already blonde. This is clearly not a color correction situation. When I pushed back on the pricing, Ashlee condescendingly told me that this cost might not be in my "beauty budget" but it is in a lot of her other clients' budgets. This comment was not only rude and dismissive, but completely missed the point: this isn't about affordability, it's about being misled by advertised pricing. The Unacceptable Resolution: Realizing I couldn't trust her judgment or spend hours in this uncomfortable situation, I requested to simply use my $95 deposit toward a trim and leave. She refused, insisting I could only receive the service I originally booked or be charged the full amount. I left without services and with my deposit held hostage. The Issue: This is textbook bait-and-switch advertising. Advertising services at $190+ and then quoting nearly $700 in person with no transparency about pricing factors beforehand is deceptive and potentially illegal. Their own booking policy states deposits "will be applied towards your services," yet they refused to honor this for an alternative service despite their egregious pricing discrepancy. I am pursuing this matter through my credit card company and appropriate consumer protection channels. Do not book here if you value transparent pricing and honest business practices.

The ladies at reception couldn't have been more welcoming and Sam was right on time. From the start he was attentive and I felt in good hands; and the results were amazing, he did a root touch up but it was way outgrown because of my transition to the city and he gave me a fresh trim that did not cut too much but somehow brought new life and energy into my hair. I love his it!!! and I will definitely be a regular customer of Sam's and salon 833.
