Amazing. I've found my new spot. Cruelty free Kevin Murphy line! I couldn't ask for better service! I will return. I feel like I look so much younger with my new do. read more

Visited Pop this past weekend. Conveniently located. Neat setup with a few salons grouped together. Kenny definitely bring his experience to the table. I didn't really say much on how I wanted my hair cut, only said clean up and tight. He did a fantastic job. Definitely recommend Pop. read more

This place is such a rare find. The owner is one of those people who are just incredibly gifted with hair. I have gone there for cuts, highlights, and full color and it always turns out amazing. I am leaving the city soon which is incredibly sad as this place is a true gem. read more

I think I've found my forever stylist after a 4-year search. Kenny is terrific! I've struggled to get a hip and fresh-feeling cut at other Andersonville salons, and that's exactly what I finally got with Kenny. I booked a last-minute appointment on his website this evening and got an immediate personal confirmation via email. (Being able to see all his available times and book on the spot was a HUGE plus!) When I arrived, Kenny was open, friendly, and welcoming. He truly listened to all my requests, took a lot of time to play with my hair and get a feel for how it moves, and asked good clarifying questions about how it typically behaves and what I had in mind. I LOVED this, since I've seen many stylists who do a cursory listen but then don't ask any questions and just say, "Okay, great, let's get started" and then give me a cut that misses the mark or doesn't respond to the character of my hair. Not so with Kenny. Kenny translated my vague request (basically, make me stop looking frumpy) into some clear suggestions for how to update my bob. He totally delivered on the cut, hitting my entire laundry list of criteria: something that had a distinct shape on my head, some lift at the roots, didn't have to be washed often, didn't need to be blow-dried or styled, worked with my existing blunt-cut bangs, and could morph into a pixie within the next couple of months. The end result left me feeling gorgeous and more like myself, like my cut fit my personality. We kept up easy, relaxed conversation throughout, but I got the sense that he would have been totally cool with working in quiet if that had been my preference that day. I feel like I've found someone I can really trust, even for bold changes, and can't wait for my next cut! read more

I put a lot of thought into whether or not I was going to review my experiences at Pop Salon with owner Kenny and ultimately decided that it would be irresponsible of me not to. I found Kenny's salon because I live in the neighborhood. My first experience was pretty ok, came in for a cut and it looked nice, so I knew that I'd return again. I didn't mind that the salon was bare bones, though almost disheveled looking, because it was new and I cared more about supporting local businesses. I went back a few months later for another cut and a color. I came with pictures and plenty of guidance and while the cut was pretty good again, the color was a total swing and a miss. It didn't look terrible, it just wasn't what I wanted nor what we discussed. I ended up reaching out a few days later requesting a few touch ups that would have been very simple- his response was neutral with a tone of unwillingness- I never ended up going back because of his response. Fast forward a few months later and my partner needed to find someone new to cut her hair and I suggested Pop Salon because it was close by and was always available (red flag). We decided to make an afternoon of it and I reluctantly scheduled another color session with Kenny. I went in with several pictures of what I was looking for and he said cute no problem. He spent more than an hour and a half foiling my short and fine hair, all while having my partner and another customer both waiting for their turn for more than an hour. That was very uncomfortable for everyone because he was frazzled and fumbling and totally mismanaging all of us there waiting. He took out my foils and I expected to see a nice natural faded Boleyage highlight- but instead saw straight up tiger striped, 90's chunky highlights. I was practically in tears. He then blew a dryer through my hair and said he didn't have time to fix it and I would need to come back. He sent me out with wet hair and a cape still attached to me. My partner went back to pay for her haircut while I was scrambling around desperately trying to find someone to fix my hair before work the next day. I messaged him to say I wouldn't be coming back and my feeling about the entire experience and wished him well and double checked that he wasn't planning to charge me for the service. The texts that followed my message were some of the most shockingly unprofessional messages I've ever read- it was truly uncomfortable and alarming. He blamed me for his errors and accused me of having a bad day and kept going back and forth about whether or not he was charging me for it. You guys, it was insane. Anyway, this happened a few months ago and I decided to let it go until today when I rode my bike past his salon and he lunged toward the window and aggressively gave me the finger and screamed profanities. WHO DOES THAT? Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I had a stylist that did not listen to me. He cut my hair the way he thought I should look. This ended up in me not knowing how to style my own hair. Kenny truly listens. He understands the fact that I am extremely low maintenance and I need a cut that I can style. I have not had any problems styling my own hair since! read more

Kenny always does a great job cutting my hair, especially this last time. He listened closely to my wishes to change things up a bit for the summer and offered his own suggestion as well. He always gets me seated on time and is easy to talk to while being low key. read more

Great place and Kenny did an awesome job! He did exactly what I wanted and it looks better than any other cut I had in Chicago. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm new to the city and was dreading the hunt for a great stylist.. Kenny is awesome! I wanted a pretty drastic (for me, anyway) change and he nailed it. He did a great job interpreting my desired style and making it work for my hair. read more

OMG it's not even noon & I have already recieved so many compliments on my new haircut! After 2 years if growing my short-hair-girl hair out Kenny has finally helped me to be excited about my long(er) hair. I can't wait to go back for colour. read more

Probably the hardest thing about moving is finding a stylist that you like. When I came back to Chicago a few years ago, it was really hit or miss as I tried new people. Then I stopped by Kenny's old salon on Balmoral on a whim and the search was over. He does a fantastic job with my cuts (several different styles) and color. Now he's around the corner at Restoration on Clark, which is just as convenient and adds a little more energy to the environment. As another reviewer noted, scheduling with him online is super convenient. Highly recommend. read more

Kenny made me look like one million dollars! His salon is clean, warm, and inviting. He was very attentive to what I wanted and gave me a great cut. read more

I moved to Chicago recently and was really happy I found this place! I'm very finicky about my hair and it can be difficult for me to find someplace I like. Kenny is very welcoming and accommodating and has styled my hair just how I wanted it during both my recent visits. He provides great quality service in a high-end atmosphere without making me feel intimidated. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

My first cut with Kenny was just great. He is truly talented and right here in Edgewater! Friends commented on how great the cut looked.

Kenny does an excellent job with color and haircuts. He has done my hair for years and I'm always happy with the results. Kenny is a great stylist! read more

WOW, Kenny is AMAZING. Can't say enough about his creativity and skillset overall. Plus, he's really nice and fun to talk with. My friends and co-workers were super complimentary about my new look (color, plus after 20 years... bangs!). I highly recommend giving Pop Hair a shot, I'm so happy to have found Kenny and this salon. read more

Kenny is a great stylist. I have really problematic hair and he always does a good job, so good that he has been cutting it for at least the last four years. I've followed Kenny to different locations as his career has progressed. Kenny does an awesome job and is really responsive to clients and their needs. Kenny is also a great person. He is nice and really funny and a good conversationalist. He has awesome taste in music and knows a lot about art and photography. If he ever left Chicago or chose a different career, I don't know what I'd do without him. I don't think I could find a better stylist in Chicago. read more

Kenny is fantastic! I've seen him for over a year now and always walk out with a great haircut and having had an interesting conversation. It's also a great price, and booking is incredibly, incredibly easy. (Why doesn't every salon let you book online? Being able to do it at midnight and see all the available times is almost as nice as the haircut itself!) Definitely recommend! read more

Must be two kenny's at this salon?? I should have walked out when he exclaimed, "OMG, your hair's so thick!" And not like that was a good thing, but like "what the hell am I supposed to do." I was persuaded by the great reviews, granted there's only 10... so, don't bother. Total hack job. read more

Kenny really knows his stuff. I've gotten so many compliments on my haircut! Highly recommend.

This is my 2nd time going to Pop Hair Salon. First time was for a much needed cut, Kenny did a great job. 2nd (which was today 6/10/18) I came in again for another much needed cut & a first time color. Again, Kenny did a great job! Getting color from someone new is always a crap shoot, can be a real disaster. I am so thrilled with my color and cut, I can't wait to show them off. read more

Fumbled around the area for several years, trying to find a good cut. Well, I must say, I left Pop Hair Salon fully satisfied, with a great cut from Kenny. Relaxing space and great products used definitely enhanced my experience. I will definitely be back. read more

Sincerely the best hair cut/barbering I've ever had. My hair hair grows too quickly and I'm a very lazy person, yet Ken Moore's mastery skills have made the cut look great even after my hair cut has grown out. I don't see myself going anywhere else in Chicago. read more

Kenny is famtastic! The guy totally taimed my dammaged, dyed mop into a head full of beautifully colored and styled (no more box dye!) hair! His prices are very reasonable and his mannor is patient, welcomming and proffessional.....and he makes a great cup of coffee! You gotta check this place out! read more

I've been popping around for a while to different salons and haven't found my match. Rarely do I find a stylist that takes my direction and incorporates their creativity and knowledge to results in a cut I'm truly happy with. I don't have to pop around anymore. I've found my salon. read more

Kenny is fantastic! My friend always has good hair, so I decided to check out her stylist and now I have great hair, too! He did a beautiful bob cut for me and then I went in for highlights two weeks before my wedding. I'm glad I trusted him with my hair. read more
