I purchased hair at Indique and asked the sales rep Ashley if she had any recommendations for a stylist and she suggested I try Brandi. Making an appointment at Justin's was very easy, I was able to get in for a shampoo style on the date and time I requested. When you make your appointment, you receive a text to confirm your appt and about 1-2 days prior to your appt, you receive another reminder text. I also loved that when I arrived for my appointment, we started right on time. The #1 issue I have at some salons is waiting around all day because we all have busy lives and I cannot stand sitting in a salon for hours on end, especially due to overbooking. Brandi was very personable, friendly, and took the time to explain certain procedures to me. The price point of provided services are comparable to other salons. I will definitely be back so see Brandi read more

If you're looking for hair extensions THIS is the place to go! Call up the studio and ask for Naomi, she has revived the life of my hair! She uses DreamCatchers Hair Extensions and after doing extensive research, it's the best way to go. I had to find something that worked well with asian hair and didn't make my hair look like I obviously had a weave going on! DreamCatchers use a "micro-cylinder" technology that is permanent, reusable and non-damaging. Meaning-- NO glue, bonding or sewing in!! The extensions give my natural hair fullness and body and they also allow my hair to grow healthily while in place. The extensions also come with a two year warranty! How fabulous is that? It's worth every penny! Call the salon for your consultation with Naomi. You won't regret it!! ---- Other info about the salon: Everyone there is extremely friendly and the salon is very clean and well kept. There's always music and laughter whenever I've gone in. There is ample street parking in the area, but some streets require you to pay the meter and others are free without meters or zone limits. It's a great addition to the South Loop! read more

Cori is the only stylist I trust to color my natural hair in Chicago. It had been almost a year since the last time she colored my hair, so I was excited to book an appointment and get some more color in my life. I went in there not sure of what I wanted, but knowing that I needed something to excite me about my natural curls again. I told Cori that I wanted something to brighten me up, but lower maintenance than what I had previously had. Her suggestion? Heavy highlights sans the overall base color. I was game! Once again she used 2 different Wella colors for highlights, but I did opt for bleach this go-round. So far I'm loving my hair and it was just what the doctor ordered. For anyone in the Chicago area looking for a professional, personable, and prompt stylist that can take care of your strands - - Cori is perfect. Justin's Salon Studio is a great addition to the South Loop and perfect for your hair care needs. read more

Justin's Salon Studio - Hair Extensions Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My experience at Justin's Salon. It was great and my hairdresser Brandy is very knowledgeable in getting my hair back to healthy state and looking good. I really like all Haircare people, the gentleman which was Justin the owner, and the receptionist & ladies all very nice. And they all can whip that hair up to a beautiful styles. My husband says he absolutely loves my hair. All Thanks to Brandi! read more

I. LOVE. THIS. SALON!!!! First about my stylist: Cori is a true master of her craft and the only one I trust with my follicles. I love the fact that she is an artist and uses your hair as her canvas to create works of beauty that even Matisse and Monet would admire. I give her absolutely no instruction. I simply sit in her chair and allow her to create. Each and every time the results are absolutely amazing and render compliments from the time I leave her chair until I return for my next appointment, usually months later. Specific things that make her one of the most talented people in a smock: 1. Cori is EXTREMELY punctual and attentive. In the 7 years that she has been my stylist, she has NEVER stacked a client on top of my appointments which can last anywhere from 2.5-5 hours depending on my color needs. 2. She has an amazing gift with color. She once told me that she dreams in hair color and it totally shows. The way she combines base/natural colors with highlights is completely unmatched in this city. My hair is a kaliedescope of colors that compliment one another and my complexion. She also takes the time color your brows to match your hair. My favorite color job from her occurred in October 2012 where she colored my hair to look like the colors of the trees as the leaves began to fall. My head was full of vibrant brown, red, and gold tones that slowly faded (as color does) to honey/amber tones as winter set in. It was simply gorgeous. 3. She is the ONLY stylist I have met in my entire life who can cut my natural hair PERFECTLY without having blow dry/flat iron it first. She had me at "hello" with this one. Now the salon itself: This is, by far, my most favorite salon where Cori has worked. Justin has an amazing and warm personality, that invites you into this family-oriented space. You're greeted at the door by a smiling and hospitable woman, I do believe her name is Verna, who immediately sets the stage for the service to come. Justin, too, is a master of his craft. I've only seen him create sew-in weave extensions and perform sew-in maintenance, but that man is working pure unadulterated magic with that hair! A few things I love about the space include: 1. Intimate feel - It is a smaller, loft-style space that is extremely well planned and used. The flow from the chair, to the bowl, to the dryer, back to the chair can happen without roadblocks and twists and turns. 2. Location - It is centrally located in the South Loop and easily accessible from a number of main thoroughfares and expressways. Traffic is forever free-flowing and metered parking is ALWAYS available. 3. Decor - The decor is simple with clean lines and warm, inviting colors. Browns and blues with silver accents and photos of the amazing Chicago Skyline make for a relaxing trip to the salon. 4. Sanitation - I don't think I've ever walked in and seen a piece of hair sitting on the floor. Even when I get my hair trimmed, by the time I remove my smock and grab my coat to leave, my hair magically disappears from the floor. Each stylist's station is well organized and aesthetically pleasing. The bathroom is also impeccable. If you are looking for a salon and stylist who truly takes your hair seriously and has your follicles' best interests in mind, THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. FOR. YOU! read more

I've been going to this salon since June and my hair was in very bad shape at that time. It was breaking, very dry and very uneven. Cori has been my stylist since then and has restored my hair back to its normal health and my hair grew out so fast within 3 months. I get compliments every time I leave the salon and I feel super confident as well. She is great with her appointments, very efficient with time and she keeps me happy always. Thanks Cori! read more

I was recommended to Justin's Salon Studio from a very good friend. I went in for cut and color and I had no idea what color I wanted but Justin knew. He is an genius and talented stylist. He has found a regular client. The salon is gorgeous!!! Wonderful location!!!! read more

I was referred to Justin by a close friend of mine who's hair is always looking fly and now I'm hooked! I just love Justin! Everytime I leave the salon I look like a rock star! For anyone looking for a stylist in the Chicagoland area, give Justin a try. He's reliable, he has great listening skills, he's consistent and he truly knows what will look good on you. read more

I went to Justin for the first time 2 weeks ago based on yelps reviews and my experience was bad. He was friendly, facility nice reason for the one star, everything else I beg to differ. One review said he starts on time, well my appt was at 4, they told me to get there 15mins early!?! Anyway got there at 4, he was starting to flat iron someone's hair, 40 mins later I'm in the chair, ok-strike 1. He wash/condition/color rinse in my hair and sat me under the dryer for 10 mins, what the wt&$&@!?! Then he sits me at his station and blow dry my hair-strike, WT$&&$!?! Finishes and guess what ...flat iron more heat. If I didn't have damage I probably have it now-strike 2. Now he's styling my hair from the back. Ok. Now this so called style looks like how I came in without the grease, okay!?! He leaves me and walks in a closet behind the counter. I'm sitting there like is he looking for something for my hair. Then he says from the closet he's done it'll be $85. REALLY...REALLY!!! Mind you I sat in the chair as he finished his previous person and walked her to the counter, checked her out and pretty much walked her to the door. What the heck happened, first time customers don't get that. STRIKE 3!!!! So the lady sitting at the counter looking at my hair like wow ask me if I wanted to schedule my next appt. my mind said sugar honey ice tea no, as nicely as I can put it but I said no thank you. I get home and there's a black line across my forehead and on the side of my face from the rinse. If he was a real stylist he would of checked that. Last thing sorry so long, but he ask to shape my neck I said yes. Those clippers was so dang sharp OMG. REALLY?!?! and he didn't wipe neck down after grazing it. Wow. Second so called beautician/stylist in Chicago I've been too and I'm done!!!! I'll hed back hm everyone month. Just ridiculous, the price and the service, SUCKS!!!. That's it. Good luck. read more

Had a blow out here and the girl who did it was amazing! This Salon is around the corner from my house so, I wasn't too sure how it would go but, I was defiantly satisfied. The girl who blew my hair out didn't even use a flat iron which for me is unheard of as my hair is extremely curly and in the Chicago humidity is impossible to keep straight. Thank you Justin's I will be back :) read more

Brandi G. styled my hair. I used to see her at another salon close to my home but it was worth the trip to South Michigan Ave for Brandi's talents. I am not sure how she manages to get my hair so straight and shiny because I cannot replicate it. I always get compliments after she has done my hair. Brandi is the only person I trust to style my hair and I can't wait until my next visit. The salon was clean and the owner Justin was also very welcoming. I'd highly recommend visiting Brandi at Justin's Salon. read more

I had a great experience at Justin's! I'm natural, and wanted a fresh spring cut and color after having braids for about 6 months. I decided to try Justin's because a friend gave the salon rave reviews. I scheduled my appointment a week in advance, and was easily able to get in Justin's book. When I arrived the morning of my appointment, I was given a consultation right away, and was on my way to highlight heaven within a half hour. Everyone at the salon was attentive and courteous, explaining the color/wash/cut/style processes to me as my appointment went on. My hair was gorgeous when I left the salon, and remains so, as Justin gave me a fresh, low-maintenance bob w/highlights - just what I wanted! Check this salon out! read more

A+++ I had my hair styled by Justin after receiving a recommendation from a good friend. I feel like I hit the lottery! He is a super talented stylist! Beautiful salon, wonderful ambiance, great conversation, very professional and conveniently located right around the corner from my home (BONUS!!!). I've found my new hair home! Kudos to Justin!!!! read more

Mrs. W - did this Naomi use to work at Kiva Salon in Water Tower Place? I'm trying to find a stylist named Naomi who used to work there but she no longer does. read more

My experience at Justin's Salon Studio in 3 words...I LOVED IT! I made an appointment with Justin for a cut based on a recommendation I received. Everything from the wonderful experience I had with the receptionist while I was making the appointment and checking in (she was SO helpful, patient and friendly!) to the care that Justin showed during the consultation while coming up with options for my haircut. The wait was a little long but I share the blame as I arrived about 30 min too early. While I was waiting, I watched him work and the skill he used in creating a gorgeous style on his client before me made me even more comfortable. The cost was more than I am used to paying but walking out of a salon loving your experience and loving the results are completely worth it. I scheduled another appointment on the spot and can't wait for the new styles that I know await me. read more

I was referred to Justin by a friend who's hair is always gorgeous. Justin does an outstanding job at everything...natural hair, sew-ins, cuts (absolute best) and color. He colored my daughter's hair and people regularly stops her and raves about her color. He does a great job with my hair and I love the way he cuts it. Perfect!!! read more

I have been a client of Cori's for several years. She has taken my hair from relaxed to natural and back to relaxed. I admit I've seen other stylists from time to time when Cori was unavailableb but no one can do like this amazing woman. I love the salon, it's warm and inviting and has a very positive, relaxed vibe. The other two stylists are phenomenal as well. Forget the negative reviews, everyone has an off day. You will feel like a rock star after having your hair done here. read more

I came into this salon February 23, 2014 to get a sew-in but walk out with something that looked nice on the outside but horrible underneath. Krista was the stylist, in first off she double my tracks for the back of my head and left big gaps in the back, secondly she put my 14inches in the middle and my other 18inches on top. My tracks were not laid flat and some were coming up. My horrible experience didn't stop there reminding you I paid you $290 for the sew in. The owner which is Justin was very off putting and kept raising the price on a sew that he thought I was talking about I wanted for myself. I didn't ask a sew I can part anywhere I ask for a standard sew in. Krista also was her phone texting and answer calls but I didnt say anything. She seem like she was in a rush. Which also became a reason for her poor work was because I came close to closing, I think if that was the case then she should have started my hair. Krista took a long time to get back to Justin so we could discuss what was wrong. I corrected my own sew in so no I don't want Krista in my head because she already mess me up. And cost me $290 overall this experience was horrible. Justin the owner made feel like if I had more money I could of gotten a better sew in. You try to support black business and seems u get mess over every time. As far as the other comments they seem like friends or insiders. Don't believe the hype. They you downtown feel but a 63rd salon hair do where none of the stylist are properly skilled or licensed. Oh, and dont believe what Justin has to say about Induge hair those women over there support him and he had nothing but bad things say about them. read more

Justin's Salon Studio - As you see she chop my hair up... In this is Indigue hair... - Hair Extensions Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

What a great experience! I was a little nervous when I first walked in as I always am at a new hair studio. I thought I was seeing the owner Justin but there was a change and I was paired with Brandi. A very happy change of circumstances! Brandi really listened to my wishes and even anticipated some changes that enhanced my look! Justin's chair was right next to hers and I completely enjoyed chatting with Brandi and him. By the way, Brandi gives a deep scalp massage when in the sink that is incredible! Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

I'm such a fan of this place! I used to live in the condos above the salon and for the longest time, I didn't think they did black hair. One day I passed by after work while they were still open and saw someone getting tracks. I started going to Justin and immediately felt so welcomed by him and Cori. I was new to Chicago and he gave me a ton of tips on where to go and neighborhoods to visit. I think the biggest testament to his work is the number of styles he's had me try that I wouldn't have before. I told him I was considering going natural but wasn't ready for the big chop. Between cuts, tracks and natural hair care, my hair has grown so much. I've since moved to DC but still squeeze in an appointment with Justin anytime I'm in town for work. Anytime someone can get my hair bouncing and flowing in the wind (especially my thick, natural tresses), I'm sticking with them no matter the distance. read more

My favorite stylist Brandi G. does wonders with my natural hair. I was a client of hers at another salon and when I found out she was moving I just knew I had to follow her because I don't trust anyone else to do my hair. She straightens my hair so well that it looks like it could be relaxed. No matter how hard I try I can never get my natural hair that straight at home. read more
