I came here for the first time in dire need of a haircut that I had been pushing off because of how expensive so many other salons/hair places are in the city. I called day of and Lori said she could fit me in. $25 for a GREAT haircut. Be sure to tip her well she absolutely deserves it! As long as I am in the city I will only be going to Lori from now on and will recommend her to friends. read more

Lori is great with kids and charges a reasonable price. Only place we take our daughter for haircuts!

I can't say enough about Lori and her shop. She is what makes this neighborhood the gem that it is. She does great work at a great price but aside from cutting hair, Lori has a true talent connecting with people and the local community. She's involved with everything Chicago and gives back in many ways. We love our girl, so does our pup. read more

Lindsay Station - Wanting to stop in to say hi to Lori - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best value Haircut in Roscoe Village/ Lakeview. The owner is super cool and down to earth.

BTW, this review is so totally overdue! Last year, I got my first awesome haircut from Sabina. I went to get a couple of long braids for cut "locks for love". After Sabina chopped off what seemed to be all of my hair, she suggested I get out of my 'one length, no body, boring' hair style and let her do something dramatic for me. She changed my life! I never thought I could look good with such a hip hairstyle. I've been back a couple more times and each time, my hair looks even more fabulous. I now overdue for a hair cut. Can't wait to get it set up. Everyone at this salon is super nice, very talented and totally worth whatever they charge (which is really not much for the talent that they boast). The salon is not real high tech or fancy, looks like your typical neighborhood salon. Although they typically work with appointments, I've been known to sneak in with my girlfriend on a given Saturday if Sabina is not swamped. Overall, Lindsay's Station has very helpful , talented and nice staff. If you're looking for a change, try out Sabina! She's wonderful. Thank you for my new look read more

Lori is one of the coolest people I know, and the only person who cuts my hair. She always makes me look great after arriving with a shaggy head of neglected hair. I never want to procrastinate too long about fixing my hair, however, because it's always a great time to drop by and catch up with Lori! She definitely comes to mind when I often think of what makes my neighborhood special! read more

I have known Lori since high school. She has been cutting my hair for 30 plus years. There is no one better at what she does but more importantly she is the sweetest person you will ever meet. Her shop is like the village square of the neighborhood! People stop by when they are not getting a hair cut just to say hi and talk! There is really no better place for hair care and more so, friendship! Very dog friendly too! Stop by and introduce yourself! read more

Lori cut my very long hair back in august of 2019. I was super happy with the cut. Lots of layers, heavy bangs. Fast forward to now & i haven't had a cut since. My hair was back to being a long & heavy mane. I called and she took me right away. Great wash & rinse, awesome haircut and a blow dry. Her prices are incredibly cheap in comparison to her skills. Tip her very well. No need to go to an expensive salon when you have a friendly & personable pro to cut your hair just the way you want it at such an incredible price. Lori rocks!!!! read more

Hey lol!! My last name is the same! This is the only place I would recommend going to get a cut or a nice deep hair cleaning. I recently came in, and was helped out by two extremely nice women, Cassidy and Lori were their names. They are the best duo there is cutting and washing hair. read more

Lori is the best. She is extremely personable and gives great haircuts. Cash only.

I am used to getting my hair cut for a measley $8 at home in Ohio by my barber who was my first and only barber, so I was hoping to find somewhere that I could get a decent hair cut for a somewhat affordable price (come on, I have short hair, and do not require much styling!) A co-worker told me about this small salon around the corner from her apartment and mentioned they were giving hair cuts for $20. That sounded like a much better deal than $45, which is what some of my friends pay to get their hair cut. I stopped in right after work to check the place out. The salon had a homey feel to it, and there was a big dog in the salon - I assume the owner's pet. I met DENISE, who was the girl who cut my hair. She was very nice and, when I told her just to make my hair look more "business professional", went right to work. We talked quite a bit, learning about each others backgrounds (we both had an Ohio connection), families, etc. I even ended up getting semi-invited to a Nascar party for this coming weekend at a bar down the street. My hair looked great, and I was definitely satisfied when I left. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, whether you are a guy or a girl. The two girls from work who went there had positive experiences, too. It sure beats the same hair cut I likely would have gotten for twice as much at some fancy-shmancy salon. Blah! UPDATE: My barber's name was actually Denise... I guess I don't pay attention as well as I should :) read more

I bought a deal for Lindsay Station through Deals Magazine as a treat for my mom for her birthday. We have a regular stylist at a regular salon, but I thought it might be fun to try a new place, just for the heck of it. It was easy to get an appointment, and worth the drive into the city. Sabina cut my mom's hair in no time flat, giving her a flattering look for her special day. Everyone there was nice and friendly, and we would definitely consider going back. read more

I always stop here for my hair cuts when in the N Lincoln Ave area. Lindsay Station gives a great quality haircut at a very reasonable price. read more

I love going here, Lori, Sabina and Maria are the nicest peopl! I have followed them for the past nine years since they were on Sheridan near Loyola University. The price is perfect and they always make you feel at home. I mainly see Maria but I can trust Lori and Sabina should Maria not be scheduled! You will not be dissapointed there. read more

I have been here a few times and I have always had great experiences. I am very bad at describing what it is that I want- Mary and Lori did a great job translating my awkward gibberish into great haircuts for only $20. Another thing to note is that they do only accept cash/check, but the one time I didn't have cash- they didn't force me to use some random ATM. Lori just told me to stop by whenever I got the chance to pay. Now I wouldn't walk in there expecting a handout but its small things like that, in addition to quality haircuts at a reasonable price that will keep me coming back to this place. Now I can truly only speak to getting a Mens Cut, but would recommend Lindsay Station to anyone read more

Excellent! I came to Chicago to go to a wedding and happened upon this salon. Lori cut my hair and I found out we knew people from the same circles growing up, which was wonderful. It is always hard to talk to a hairdresser but Lori is very personable. Before I knew it I had a fantastic haircut. Most comfortable haircut I've ever had. read more

What a great salon! Walk in and feel at home immediately, totally laid back and decorated like an old train station, hence the name "Lindsay's Station". All the girls are very nice and aren't afraid to tell you if a style would be good or bad, depending on their professional opinion. Very reasonable prices, check them out! read more

Love Lindsay Station.. It's like going to visit extended family. Sabina is my hairstylist and I been following her for the last 10 years... I am very anal over my hair and she is the only one I will let touch it.. I always walk out feeling great about the cut and highlights.. and you can't beat the price! read more

Lori is a first rate person, owner, and stylist. She's been "doing" hair forever, and it shows. I'm an every six-weeks regular. Don't expect the trappings (or prices) of more upscale salons. Expect an attentive, authentic, and talented bunch of stylists. read more

I've been going to Lindsay Station since the day it opened. My kids are clients as well! Many salons have that phony feel, however Lindsay Station is so genuine and has such a fun & laid back atmosphere! I enjoy going there because it is such a treat to talk and laugh with everyone. Sabina is my hair stylist and she is so accommodating and does a consistently excellent job on my hair. I just love this place!! read more

Hmmm...not sure where to begin with my glowing review of Lindsay Station. Perhaps I'll start by explaining my "bias", though this "bias" is shaped from the truth of the awesomeness of owner/ stylist Lori Lindsay, her staff, and the shop (including her great dog, Harley!) My respect, love, and total trust of Lori stems from knowing her as my stylist since 1990 and having never gotten a haircut/ styling from anyone else in those 24 years. (I think that speaks for itself! Even when I lived up in Wauconda in the late 90's, I would make special trips to Chicago to get haircuts from Lori...) Lori worked for another shop then, when I first met her; I then followed her, and her friendly, skilled manner, to another shop; and now, best of all, to where she owns her own shop, Lindsay Station, for the past several years. Going there is an exercise in comfort. Lori and the other stylists make you feel at home right away. Whether it's for color, perms, or just a styling-of-your-choice, Lori and the rest of the staff will treat you to ample doses of friendliness, attentiveness, skill, and respect. What more can I say? Lindsay Station ROCKS! I would never go anywhere else...and I don't. read more

Lori is excellent and really listens to what you want. Every haircut I've gotten here is great.

Let me start by saying that I used to dread getting my hair cut. Not that I didn't like a fresh cut, but to have to dish out a significant chunk of cash only to then be held captive and forced to listen to product pushing and criticism about my decision to dye my hair at home for 45 minutes....gave me a little anxiety. So I was SOOO happy to find Lori at Lindsay Station. Her no b.s. attitude, years of expertise, and great pricing will have me coming back for life. She cuts my hair exactly like how I asked, does the best job of anyone I've ever been to, and doesn't spend the entire time trying to sell me other things. Plus, she's just down to earth and real. Thank you Lori!! read more

Lori is amazing. She was able to squeeze me in before closing time on last minute notice for a haircut. I color my hair at home and always dread going to a salon for fear of being scolded... but Lori was so nice! Not only was she nonjudgmental but she actually gave me tips on how to continue coloring my hair at home. The cut was great and the price was a steal. However, what will keep me coming back was how genuine and sweet Lori is! Thank you! read more

Great service, very reasonably priced. I got a color/cut by Densie, who was super nice. Definately worth a visit.

First time customer. Mary gave me the best highlights I've ever had! I have very challenging course, think, black hair and most high end salons miss the mark when it comes to highlighting my hair....not MARY, she found a great color and blended it perfectly. She really listens and understands you and makes you feel comfortable with what can be tough hair decisions. Mary can easily service high-end women's cuts along with men and children. The salon is very low key and my fav is the owner's dog that come to greet all the customers! read more

At Lindsay station my hair has gone through a variety of extremes, from buzz cuts to simply letting it shag out again, and I have been satisfied with the results every time. read more

So glad I discovered this salon. Lori is very personable and does a great job on my hair at a reasonable price.

Great place for guys to get a cut. Good prices & not snotty :) As for me, I would totally come back here too. Mary did a kick ass job on my cut & helped me after to figure out how I can style at home. Good prices! If you want a spa like atmoshphere, don't go here. They are super chill & laid back :) read more

I came to Lindsay's station when my former barber retired. It is a very relaxed and enjoyable experience so far. They do a great job everytime. And it is very reasonable as well. Highly recommend it for guys who don't want a military cut and don't want to pay alot read more

Man, what a nice place to get a haircut. It's crazy laid-back and relaxing and the bathroom has awesome wood paneling. My barbress was Mary. She did a great job and was a calming presence in an otherwise stressful day. read more

There is something very endearing about Lindsay Station. I don't know if it's the throwback barbershop vibe, the awesome ladies, the attentive service, or a bit of all three, but Lindsay Station is a true Lakeview treasure. The experience at Lindsay station is undeniably authentic. The ladies there make you feel welcome and truly listen to your input and preferences. I have been going there for just over a year and they have nailed my haircut each and every time. Whether it's Laurie, Mary or Sabina, each of them has done a great job and been more than happy to take the extra time to accomodate my pickiness. In addition to a great haricut at a great price ($20 - GREAT VALUE!), you get to hang out with a colorful cast of characters that makes every experience a unique and fun one. I can't recommend this place enough and hope that next time you're in the area and in need of a haircut you'll stop by and see what the ladies at Lindsay Station can do for you. read more

I've been going to Lindsay Station for 3 or 4 years now. I've had my hair cut by most of the women there but now I've been going to see Mary specifically. Favorite things about the place: 1.) Mary does a fantastic job. She's just consistently good, which may sound like a mundane nod but as most guys know, having one good haircut by a person does not guarantee she (or he) will repeat it the next time. Mary always does. 2.) This place is under-priced for the area. I don't know of another salon that does such a good job and charges such low prices. A good men's haircut for $25 is a bargain. 3.) The atmosphere is relaxing. It's not a stressful place. Just good vibes and very nice people running the shop. I've recommended it to all my guy friends and they've all become steady clients there. It's actually worth the 5 star rating. read more

So I chose this place because it was close to my apartment. I called to see what time they close which was a minute from the time I called. Everywhere else would say "sorry we're closing now" Not Lindsay Station. They stayed open 35 minutes later for me. Very friendly, not expensive but a quality cut. I will be going here from now on! read more

For a guy, I'm more than average picky and this is the place I've been looking for! Mary knows what she is doing!! Prices are totally reasonable. I used to go to a more expensive salon (than, say, Haircuttery) and was not as impressed as with Mary's skills. She just knew what to do. She's really funny too! These women are super welcoming and the atmosphere is really relaxing. Not stuck-up at all. Go to this salon!!! read more

I began going here after reading reviews on yelp, and after struggling to find a place in Chicago that will cut a man's hair for less than $35 (other than old-man barber shops..). I met Mary, and she has been cutting my hair since. Everyone is absolutely delightful here and treats you like family from the first time they meet you... I've never hugged my hair-stylist before. If you're looking for good quality at a reasonable price with wonderful people and no pretentiousness, I highly recommend Lindsay Station! read more

OMG..............I just came home and I cant wait to go out tonight and show off my HAIR!!! I have had my hair cut at Lindsays Station before by Lori and I loved it! But my friend Tracey went a few weeks ago and had Mary cut color/highlight her hair and it is banging! So I went today and she colored and highlighted my hair to the best it has EVER looked, not to mention she is a total riot!!! I love this salon and the prices are great!!! Thanks Mary, I cant wait to go out and show off my HAIR!!! xo read more

Lori's been doing my hair my whole life! She's the best. The nicest, sweetest person you'll ever come across. Everyone there is great! It's a nice laid back environment for a haircut and color. There's always good magazines and great conversation. You won't be disappointed! read more

I have been going to this great place for years and have always received great haircuts. Lori and Mary are great. Everyone is very friendly and it's always a good experience to be had here. read more

Lori, the owner, has been cutting my hair for over 20 years and my son's hair for nearly 16. She's like family to us. Professional and highly personable. She and her staff make you feel at home. And Harley, her dog, is sometimes there to greet you. Oh, and did I mention she does a spectacular job with our hair? Can't begin to recommend her highly enough. read more
