If it were possible to give no stars I would do so. This salon was part of a health fair held at my apartment complex. They offered a services for a reasonable price to tenants in the building. I scheduled an appointment for April 4. Very early I received a text telling me they did not want to give me a pedicure for some made up resons. They have never seen my feet yet they had comments about my feet that were far from accurate. There was a link to schedule with anothr nail tech and they canceled that appointment too. I had a back and forth discussion with the owner who told me to see a podiatrist. I told her I already have and he said to get a pedicure which is why I made the appointment. I do not think they wanted to honor their original price and decided to cancel my appointment as they may have booked a full price client. I have made an appointment elsewhere with no issues. read more

I'm not the first to give a review for wedding hair, but that shouldn't surprise you if you do even the most cursory glance at other reviews here. I had a hair trial here and had a good experience with Kelly. I wanted a second hair trial, ostensibly to try extensions, but also because I wanted to see even more styles (by that, I mean different types of soft waves and such). Each time was a blast. I am particular about my hair but am also very interested in hair in general, seeking advice from hairstylists and trying to incorporate their ideas into my own daily hair routine. Kelly understood this quickly and easily, and she was very descriptive about different styles and how she was making each of them happen. She is the nicest hair stylist I have ever had in over 30 years on this earth. Period. She could get along with anyone and is passionate, kind, and ready to make you feel great. The wedding prep itself was also very easy and fun with Kelly and Nikki. My bridesmaids who worked with Nikki seemed to enjoy the process. They got the exact hairstyles they wanted and/or sought her ideas for what to do. Everyone's styles looked magazine-ready and stayed that way for hours upon hours. I felt similarly with Kelly's styles for me and for others getting ready. They also were easy to talk to and very kind, fitting right into the joyful atmosphere. It was clear that my friends and family had fun while being styled and felt confident after their hair was done! After such a long time without big events, it was really nice to feel pampered and glamorous again. read more

The salon itself is very New York - professional, sophisticated and cool. I say this because I'm from New York and get the same sense I get there - they are confidant and know hair technique. Leslie is excellent at balayage and bonus, an overall awesome person. She is dividing her time between Nashville and Chicago these days so be sure to make an advance appointment with her. I will mention that because the salon was busy, there seemed to be some small timing issues. For instance, I arrived on time for my appointment but waited 25 minutes. Also, I was pretty confused when I was asked during the shampoo whether I was being styled after the balayage. I said no and they changed my chair location and asked me what styling products I would like to use. So basically, I didn't know that not being styled meant that I had to blow dry my own hair, lol. I felt a little foolish? I mean, I've never left a salon and not had my hair dryed there but I guess if it saves me $45 then maybe I'm okay with it? Unsure. What also threw me off was that after my hair was shampooed, Leslie didn't check in to see if the balayage looked okay. It was only when I was at the counter checking out and the receptionist needed to see how much to charge, that Leslie came over to see if it looked okay when I was basically already out the door. Maybe this stemmed from the blow dry confusion because ultimately I decided to let it air dry since I was already running late to return back to work. read more

Josh fixed my hair! A few years ago, took some random salon up on a 50% off highlights deal and left the place stark-white hair (I kid you not, it had NO pigment to it). Needless to say, it was a COLOSSAL mistake. Luckily, I found Josh and booked him that next morning. He was able to completely transform my hair into the natural blonde color that I was actually looking for. I have stayed with Josh ever since and recently had him color my hair for our wedding. He is incredibly talented and truly will do whatever it takes to ensure you are happy with your color. If you want a stellar colorist who will make your vision for your hair come to fruition, look no further! read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try based on the raving reviews. I requested an appointment on Yelp and they called me back within a few hours to set up an appointment. I received a warm welcome going in by the front desk guy, and he immediately took my coat. So far so great. I docked off a star because of the girl washing my hair. Now it's my first time here so I didn't know that the piece of clothing they gave me was actually a robe. When I looked confused, she just stood there looking at me impatiently. When my hair got caught in my cartilage piercing she just yanked it out. While drying my hair she also pulled so hard that I felt like my scalp was gonna get ripped off. Fortunately, my stylist Tina made the rest of the experience fantastic. She made great input on how my hair should be cut, and was super meticulous when cutting my hair. Definitely one of my favorite haircuts I've gotten. They even gave me a mini bottle of the Oribe texturizing spray! I'll definitely recommend the salon if you're in the Gold Coast area. UPDATE: I just want to thank Tina again for the amazing haircut. I have gotten a few compliments, saying that she handled my Asian hair really well. Thank you Tina! read more

Horrible experience today. Greeted by a rude & hostile male receptionist, then the owner came out to use the excuse of their new "covid restrictions" for his inappropriate & over the top behavior towards my small child & I. Long time customer who won't go there again, and will alert my friends who are clients, to do the same. Not in a million years would I be expected to be treated with such hostility, in a hair salon.....by both the receptionist, and the owner read more

For context: Hair Type: Wavy/Fine Hair Length: Medium Service: Cut, blow dry, and styled I have tried numerous highly rated salons in Chicago (paying a pretty penny), and judging by my first time at this salon, I can safely say that I have had the best experience! Molly cut my hair, EXACTLY THE WAY I WANTED IT (that never happens as I always get some variation of what I ask for, even after showing the stylist pictures of what I want!). In fact, Molly cut my hair even better than I could have possibly imagined. Molly's technique is amazing and she just knew how to work with my hair. Molly really paid attention to my specific cut and was very attentive to the smallest of details. The products they use in the salon are luxury brands and feel and smell amazing when put to use. Also, Molly gave me great insight on my hair and gave me lots of tips for hair styling and overall maintenance that I am already starting to go by. I have found my favorite salon and cannot wait for my next visit! read more

I followed Sarah Kinser to Renee Feldman, and I'm really happy I did! She gives the best haircuts, and she has the best personality. She knows exactly what I want done with my hair every time. I come to her with my super thick, stick-straight hair, and she adds long layers that give it volume, bounce, and airiness. Thank you, Sarah! I also got a balayage from Leslie the last time I was there. I thought the balayage was great, and even though I had some trouble describing exactly what I wanted, Leslie gave me something natural that added dimension to my hair. I'll be booking Leslie for all of my future coloring needs! Also, the salon space is beautiful and clean and comfortable. read more

You CANNOT find a more quality & professional haircut throughout Chicago. Renee Feldman is THE best. Don't believe me? I moved from Chicago to DC, but I make damn sure to book with Renee whenever I am planning my next trip back to Chicago. After going to her, no one else could do; try it and you will see why! She deservingly opened her own place and I have full confidence they will be one of the premier salons in Chicago within the next few months. You better book soon because this place is about to blow up! read more

I recently got the Heather/Molly special and I could not be more happy with the results! Heather has been coloring my hair for several years and gets it perfect every single time. She's taken me from black to ombre to blonde and back to dark brown flawlessly! This was my first cut with Molly and I decided to be daring and chop it all off into a lob. It is my favorite haircut I think I've ever had! She also taught me how to style it so I could do it myself at home. And the oribe dry texturizing spray has been a god send for this new do! The salon is also beautiful. Can't wait to go back! read more

I haven't stopped smiling since I left the salon yesterday afternoon! My new hair makes me feel great, and ten years younger. As a new client, I went in with an open mind. The salon's atmosphere is relaxed and professional and everyone there is approachable and "real." Leslie worked her color magic and Nicole gave me a perfect classy cut that is low-maintenance, as requested. I've already booked my next appointment- no one else is touching my hair again! read more

I've been going to Brooke Ingram since she first started in the business -- what an amazing professional! She does the most precise bobs in the business. I'm a short hair fan but she cuts my long-haired friends' too and makes us all look fantastic. She is really thoughtful in her approach, and works with you to get your style just right. if you're feeling adventurous, she goes for it. If you want to stick to "the usual," she's consistent and always remembers just how I like my hair -- perfecting it each time!! When I got married, I wanted 1920s finger waves, and Brooke spent hours researching and practicing her technique so that I could have my dream look. For color, I always go to Lo. Last time I was in, all I said was, "let's go bold and lighter." I didn't have to say anything else! She got super creative and gave me a stunning new look for summer! She's an absolute delight to work with -- and she does gorgeous makeup too! The new Renee Feldman Salon is a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Coast. I couldn't be happier with the new space! read more

5 stars! Just moved to Gold Coast and walked by this little gem of a hair salon. Greeted with a glass of wine, my experience was just wonderful. Josh was amazing with color, Molly killed it with the cut! I have definitely found my new forever hair salon. read more

She truly transformed my hair, which has changed somewhat drastically since the birth of my daughter. Sarah totally understood what I wanted and I felt confident in her ability right from the start! I will be coming back to Sarah and I am scheduled to see Leslie for color next month! A wonderful salon in an accessible part of the gold coast! read more

I recently had my hair done by Tina Tobar for the first time. I've pretty much had the same cut and color for the last 10 years so I had Tina change it up, and I'm thrilled with it! Nothing too drastic, but a big change for me...baby steps! My hair has never looked better! Its healthy, shiny and even when I don't spend much time on it, it looks great! That's the beauty of a great cut. Tina is not only talented she also has a great personality. The salon itself is stylishly decorated, and spotless! The staff couldn't be a nicer! I appreciate their unpretentious courteous customer service, with reminder texts about my appointments. I definitely recommend Tina and The Renee Feldman Salon. read more

Renee was very highly recommended to us as the hair stylist to use for our upcoming wedding. Renee and her team handled our entire bridal party and all the family members in a very timely fashion, creating beautiful customized looks for everyone. We had such fun doing our consultations that my daughter is now using Renee for her regular haircare and styling. She is very skilled with extensions and handling all hair types to create the look you want that will stay throughout your wedding day .... or any occasion! Beautiful salon and very professional and friendly service by all. Thanks to the whole team for making our wedding day go smoothly and most of all for making us all look and feel great!! read more

This was my first time at this salon. I used a Gilt voucher for an Oribe blow out. All of the staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming. I was taken back for my wash as soon as checked in. Molly did a fantastic job with my blow out- she gave me plenty of volume despite my thinning hair. I will definitely be back! read more

I love my color from Kelly! This is a lovey salon with a very talented staff. Megan will cut and style my hair later this week and I already know I'll love it! read more

Nicole Passolano (stylist) and Lo Vitalo (colorist) have been working wonders on my hair for six years! They are the BEST and I have referred multiple friends to both and everybody always loves their work. Nicole knows my hair so well and I usually turn to her to pick my latest cut - seriously, I let her do whatever she wants and I have never regretted her judgment. I recently went more blonde with Lo and received a ton of compliments - I am naturally brunette and the way she worked the blonde in looks so natural! They both used to work at Studio 110 and I followed them to Renee Feldman and love the new salon - the staff is very friendly and professional and the decor is simply elegant. There is not a pretentious vibe like you get at other Gold Coast salons - I felt very welcome and will continue to recommend everybody I know to Renee Feldman Salon (and Nicole and Lo)! read more

Renee is am absolute ROCKSTAR to work with! She and her assistant, Nicki, did hair on site for my Recent wedding at Salvage One for myself and 8 bridesmaids and everything was amazing! She is a true professional, responsive to questions, super helpful and was a delight to have around on my wedding day. I strongly recommend her for any event and will certainly call her again! read more

Ive been a long time client of Nicole Passolano and would follow her anywhere. So happy she is now at Renee Feldman salon! Just had my first haircut there and it is fantastic. The salon is adorable, bright, friendly and professional. Nicole is amazing as always, gave me an amazing cut and is the best! Can't wait to go back for color! read more

I can't say enough great things about Renee Feldman Salon and Nicole Passolano! I followed Nicole when she left her previous salon and I'm so glad that I did. She cuts my hair in a way that allows me to wear it how it air dries and it also looks great when styled. She also does an amazing blow out that I can't replicate no matter how hard I try. What I value most about Nicole is the friendship we have formed - she remembers to ask me about things we talked about at my last visit and makes me feel like I'm not just another customer. The salon itself is beautiful, clean, sells great products and the people are awesome! I have tried upwards of 10 salons since moving to Chicago but for the past 3 years I have been going to Nicole and I feel no need to look elsewhere because I'm so happy with what she does to my hair and the service I receive from her and the entire salon staff! read more

Renee is amazing! She is doing my hair for my upcoming wedding, but I have been coming to her for haircuts for about nine months and my hair has changed dramatically for the better! It feels thick and looks extremely healthy. I've always struggled with my ends but they look beautiful now. Also, the salon is beautiful and everyone who works there is extremely nice. I can't wait for my wedding hair and to keep coming here for cuts in the future. read more

Great experience with a fabulous colorist Laura and a great cut by Tina. My hair color was just as we discussed and my cut was done to perfection! Total professionals! read more

Absolutely love this boutique-like salon. It's beautiful, welcoming and I feel like a million bucks walking out. I see Heather for hair-color and Kristen for haircuts/blowouts. I have gone to the other girls for blowouts too and have been just as happy. Go, you won't regret it. read more

I was so happy when Renee opened her own salon. She made it a beautiful place to get your hair done and staffed it with the most talented hair stylists in the city. When Renee isn't available, my go-to was Molly. When Molly wasn't there, I went to Sarah and I loved her just as much. When I called for a last minute appt, they sent me to Tina and I left the salon feeling like a million bucks. I always leave this salon feeling like I was taken care of. The salon is very chill...you don't feel like you're in a hair factory. They get it. Everyone at this place gets it. And, they use the most amazing products. LOVE! read more

My bridesmaids and I used Renee Feldman for hair and make up for my wedding last weekend, and everything was wonderful. We came into the salon bright and early at 7:15- everyone was ready and waiting with a smile on their face despite the early start time. The Salon made everyone feel so welcome and at home, and they were so accommodating! Not to mention- our hair and make up looked amazing! We all got a ton of compliments throughout the day. My hair and make up lasted well through the evening, and I didnt have to touch it once! If you are in need of Bridal services- Renee Feldman is a must!!! Their expertise, professionalism and talent is second to none and their pricing is very competitive. read more

Wedding review for Sarah Kinser and Lola Vitalo - Sarah and Lola were incredible! I used Sarah for my hair and Lola for my make up and they also did trials and day of for my mother and mother-in-law. My priority was definitely how my hair and make up would look, but I also wanted good, fun people around me on my wedding day. Not only did they do such a beautiful job, but they were so easy to work with and completely laid back. Working outside of the beauty industry I thought it would be difficult to explain to them what I wanted, but somehow they translated "done, but not too done, you know?" into beautiful results. My hair looked beautiful and somehow Sarah managed to coach me into styling a beautiful, second hairstyle of a pony tail for dancingI And looking at pictures at the end of the night (12 hours later) I somehow still look like I just had my make up done. I truly could not have been more pleased with the outcome and to have them both as part of my wedding. read more

Josh is truly an expert at color, not just in application, but in helping you decide what is best for you, your skin tone, your style etc. Give Josh a call and start loving your color! read more

I am high maintenance when it comes to my hair color (I'm a golden blond who was mistakingly born a brunette!) and Leslie at Renee Feldman knows EXACTLY what to do to make my hair awesome. I've followed her from other salons - and would probably get on a plane if she ever moved out of Chicago! She gets my balayage just right --- perfect shades of golden blond and honey that make my dark brunette hair look flawless and natural. I've gotten compliments from random strangers in elevators. Best of all, I can go several months without a touch up because her blending is perfect, and she doesn't overbleach so my hair is still super healthy. Added bonus, she makes the salon time go by quickly! read more

we ladies know there's no shortage of beauty salons in Chicago.. it's just finding a stylists to do your hair right that can be a problem. I've been to many salons & I've never left feeling that "wow" factor. I got recommended to a stylist named Brooke & I thought what the hell ive been to so many I might as well try this one.. I honestly didn't go with high hopes.. I met Brooke & she was very cool & we talked for awhile about how unhappy I've been with the haircuts I've received & she listened to me about how I wanted my hair to be cut & what I felt was done wrong in the past.. so she cut my hair, thinned it out (my hair is crazy thick) & blow dried it.. when she finished I looked in the mirror & was SO happy!! Brooke had made me feel that wow feeling!! She got it right, She cut my hair perfectly!! So I've been going to Brooke for a long time now & I absolutely love her, I'm never disappointed.. She cuts hair at Renee Feldman Salon downtown on Clark St. in the Gold Coast. Brooke has a client for life!! read more

I feel so lucky that Renee was available for my wedding! She was amazing to work with, and her (and Sarah) did an incredible job on my and bridal party (of 9!). She was totally professional to work with, and very flexible and accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are still looking for a wedding stylist! read more
