    Silkpress on Natural Hair
    Nekaiya H.

    Huetiful is my go to salon! Ive been attending periodically since 2016 and since then I've been hooked. Now amongst all of the other amazing things they have to offer service and aesthetically (see my previous review on Yelp and Facebook), I am here to exalt Ms. Nina Christmas. From the moment she greeted me at the door there was instant connection. She educated me on the uniqueness of my hair and the advantages of my hair type. Im a nerd so I love learning new things (hook, line, sinker)! She encouraged me and we conversed like long time girlfriends. She gives a wealth of knowledge in such a concise manner (yes, she has depth), this is truly Hairapy! Long ago as Black women we confided in our beauticians about home life, our children, our jobs and spouses and just everyday stresses. In this new age where technology is meant to connect us, we disconnect ourselves and sometimes have no outlet. I am thankful that this gem is still alive in Ms. Nina, she knows how to allow you to let your hair down and release (pun intended), all while holding space and keeping the sacredness of sisterhood and our hair. Sit in her chair and allow your story to be woven amongst the strands of your history. #NinaChristmas #Hairapy #HuetifulChicago

    I've been to the old and new locations about seven times and worked with the same stylist the last three times. I went in for a flexi rod set and left with a damaged scalp and bad hairdo. I was first surprised that my hair wasn't blow dried before installing the rods. She rinsed out the conditioner, applied a mousse, and went to work on sopping wet hair. My hair is 4c, so she should've known that it was going to dry in a shrunken state. I chose not to say anything because I felt I would've sounded ridiculous by using YT as my reference point. She then rolled the rods close enough to my scalp to develop immediate pain. The kind of tension you get from African hair braiders. Again, I chose not to say anything because I was thinking I only had to sit with it under the dryer for ~25 min and could handle the discomfort for that long. I ended up sitting under the dryer closer to 2 1/2 hours. After the first 30 min, my scalp was taut and on fire, my face and ears were red, and I was getting light-headed so I turned the heat down from 4 to 3 and asked another stylist to have mine come and look at me. When she came, I told her that it was too hot and she said "Well it's going to be hot - it's a dryer." I was later moved to a different dryer to accommodate another client and again had to turn the heat down. When she finally took out the rods, she asked me what I thought and all I could offer was "Ummm...." to which she responded "It'll get fuller over the next few days." In that situation, she should have separated the curls to look more like what I asked for and then given me guidance on how to do it myself. At the end of it all, I was there for five hours, paid $120 for service and tip, and $12 for parking because only the first three hours are validated. My scalp was burned in several areas and now has scabs. The curls in fact did not get fuller and were in a pony tail on day 3. This is the second time that I've gone in for a natural hairstyle and the second time that I left disappointed. Contrary to what they advertise, this salon does not specialize in natural hair. During my ordeal last week, one woman (type 4) got a flat twist out and there was no effort made to blend her sections, and another (type 3) got a hair cut and left with a head of frizz. It's an alright place to go, though, if you want your hair straightened. COVID-19: Everyone was properly wearing a mask. The sign in the salon door (not the building lobby) indicates that the last sanitation cleaning was in November. Chairs are not regularly cleaned between clients.

    Love it !!! Everything was nice and organized. Decorations were aesthetically pleasing. The women who washed my hair (can't recall her name) but it was her first day in the job and she was very sweet and knowledgeable about natural hair. The style comes with a wash, and hydrating hair steam session prior to applying any heat. Brianna a really good job on my blow out and flat iron. She detangled carefully and used protective measures for applying heat Will def go back !

    RachelO is the hair stylist that did my hair and I would not recommend her. She can not color hair right she honestly doesn't know what she was doing. I come from a family of hair stylist and after talking to them they told me she basically played in my head. My hair was two completely different colors. I was very unsatisfied with my results she made my hair paprika after I told her I wanted a ginger she also made my roots very red. She charged me $220 i felt bad for her cuz she doesn't look like she gets a lot of clients so I gave her at 10$ tip but I honestly felt like she didn't deserve that. Please do not go to her if you are getting your hair dyed for the first time you will be very mad at your results.

    Before entering the salon

    If I could give no stars I would. Here's a before and after photo of a haircut I received from a senior stylist at the salon. All I will say is that I should have done more research as yelp makes it rather clear that this place does not do good work. I've gotten several devacuts before and never had an issue wearing it straight (as you can see in the before picture.) Owner- unprofessional and unwilling to acknowledge the facts, which are clearly shown in the photos. I won't be recommending anyone to this shop.

    Wanted the lovey hair cut in the red but my mane was butchered down to almost nothing.

    This was my first time at Huetiful and I had high hopes because I thought they specialized in natural hair. I booked online by searching for someone who could do a designer cut. That's were I booked Sterling. He was very kind and nice. I asked him for an "out grown tapered cut" and showed him pictures from pintrest of the cut I wanted (I've had my hair cut the same way in FL). My hair was in a top knot when he preceded to cut my hair without washing or combing through, I asked him about shrinkage and he said it was a precut and he would cut again after shrinkage. After washing my hair he looked at the picture of the desired cut as he began to cut more hair. I received a twist in after the cut. I could tell my hair was very short because it was a struggle for flat twist. The next morning I twisted out my hair and it was very choppy, poor transition, uneven, patchy, and looked nothing like the picture. I desired a styled haircut but received a butchering. Of course I returned to Huetiful the next day and was told no managers were working except for Sterling so I left my contact info for the owner. I was called back shortly by Sterling, who remained nice (but I specifically asked not to speak to him). I told him the cut looked nothing like the inspiration and the cut I wanted was no longer an option due to how inconsistent and low my hair was. He offered to book me with another stylist to "correct" the cut or to void my transaction. I elected to void my transaction because I'm not sure that I can trust another Huetiful stylist. Honestly, Im not satisfied with that option either because it does not bring the hair back, it will be months or maybe a year to get my hair back to a decent length. I have posted pictures: one of my before, one of the desired cut (woman with the red hair), and after the cut. My recommendation is stylist should not be on the schedule for services that are not their specialty. Maybe Sterling is great at color but he butchered my hair. I'm not even sure where to go for a corrective cut and I'm still coming to terms with how bald I will be. I definitely feel traumatized by this experience. Every time I look it the mirror I have to see what was done to me.

    This is not how your hair should look after leaving the salon.

    Since I sat in Nina Christmas's chair in 2016, my hair has grown beyond what I could've achieved on my own.

    Can't say enough of how great Lira and team are! First found Lira Guzi after a botched hair…read moreappointment with another salon and have never gone anywhere else. 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. I no longer live in Chicago, but make special trips out just to have my hair done here! If you're looking for a salon in Chicago, look no further, u won't be disappointed!!

    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.
