My 15 year old went in on her own today for the first time. She knew exactly what she wanted and really wanted to do this on her own. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She said everyone in the salon was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]She met with Marjola and had a lovely experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My daughter showed her a picture of what she wanted and [[HIGHLIGHT]]she left so happy. It was a huge change for her and she was thrilled with the results![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you Marjola for making her feel comfortable and doing a fantastic job! She FaceTimed me the 2nd she left to show me the results! read more

This salon is my go to for getting my hair dyed! I have been going to Lela since 2019 and she is fantastic. I would not see anyone else. Even when I lived in the suburbs, I would make the trek down to Lakeview. The one time I did not see her and went to a salon in the suburbs, I had to come back to Lela to fix it -- I asked for a subtle blonde balayage and got streaky highlights that looked like a very cheap version of Jennifer Aniston's circa season 1. Lela went to work and fixed them, and I learned my lesson. She also does a good job protecting it when styling, which is extra appreciated since it's so fine. Also want to give a special shout out to Valentina, who I went to for a hair cut and conditioning treatment when Lela was booked and I need a cut desperately. She took her time making sure my hair was healthy and refreshed, and spent more time than I would expect on my blowout given low little hair I have -- which is a good thing! A lot of stylists would always fly through since there isn't much, and it wouldn't look good. My hair looked full and shiny after Valentina was done. Everyone at the salon is also very welcoming and friendly, so it has a great atmosphere even when you are waiting your turn. I appreciate the offer of water and chargers for when my phone was close to dying. Will forever be returning to Ricci Kapricci while in the Chicagoland area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Not happy at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They gave me triangle hair, looks like a Christmas tree after washing [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, it will take a while to grow back and nothing I can do[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very friendly staff[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but unfortunately my blowout was not what I expected there was very little volume and it looks more just like I had straightened my hair. I was also charged $15 more because I had thicker hair so I was definitely not expecting that. read more

Maryna gave me a haircut that I have gotten more compliments on than I ever have before. Maryna super focuses on cutting and shaping very precise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She concentrates silently while working, but asked all the right questions, and listens carefully.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend her highly. read more

I recently tried this hair salon out and booked an appointment with Slavisha, he was amazing! I have very thick hair and he immediately knew what my concerns was with my hair (I wanted to continue growing it out, but I needed my ends trimmed, and he didn't want to create too many layers since it wasn't right for my hair texture and goals). Usually it takes a long time to blow out my hair but he was super efficient, he showed me how much he wanted to trim, and he styled my hair nicely and smooth. I loved my hair leaving the salon and made a next appointment to get a Keratin treatment done by him. The front desk person was very nice too and it was easy to book. I highly recommend this salon and going to go back! read more

Great environment, they really took their time & gave me what I wanted - a trim with layers. They also had a first-time client discount! Very affordable for the service read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I made a last minute appointment for my 3yo daughter and was so glad I did![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] her hair was getting long and unmanageable so I decided on a short bob with some bangs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her first haircut was with the lovely Valentina who was both patient and kind, making my daughter look and feel like a princess.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time, she needed something a bit more drastic so I asked for a French bob with some bangs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kristen was wonderful and patient. She took her time to ensure the cut was both clean and stylish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My daughter loves the way it turned out and I couldn't be happier with the result. read more

Really nice blowout by Felipe. $40 so I was very happy! Quick and easy. The salon is a convenient location. The salon isn't very big, but it isn't a bother. He used nice products like a hair mask. read more

Yesenia gave me not only the most complete haircut of my life (usually I go back home and start messing a bit w my bangs and such) but I came in with a choppy POS haircut I gave myself after going crazy and just chopping my split ends off haphazardly. She called it my little art project. But she fixed that mess up. How? I have no idea, the woman has a great set of eyes lol AND she gave me exactly the color I wanted. YELLOW. Real real yellow. I had a totally of 6 people tell me they loved my hair between the salon, whole foods, and the apartment I was staying 4 blocks away. Srsly, outside of the color, the cut is amazing. Yesenia, I can't thank you more. This was the most awesome experience I've ever had at a hair salon EVER. I wish I had tipped you more and I wish I went back to allow you to take more photos but hopefully the photos I've taken myself will suffice. You're awesome. read more

Missy is amazing! She takes her time and gives great advice for how to transform your hair in the best way. If you are a first time customer, you get 10% off! I will be coming back for Missy. read more

Came to get balayage after a couple months, and still received the same great care. Not sure what normal daily foot traffic is like, but they were definitely busy most of the hours today, Tuesday (suppose people are also prepping the hair for holiday season!). I believe they take walk-ins but I suggest you make an appointment. Everyone here seems great, and their clientele's leave happy, be it right away, or after feedback's been given and things needing a little tweak here and there. Regardless, as always, they care about you being satisfied. Consistency is really rare when it comes to salon experience, but they've got it! Will continue to refer people to this salon, and I'll be back in a few months for touch up! Come on in! read more

Yesenia always gets me in and gives me exactly what I'm looking for, even with my difficult schedule. She's a treasure.

I went in for a consultation a few months ago as I just moved to the area and noticed they were running a promotion for 10% off services for new clients. I meet with Lela and told her I wanted to get a trim and all over color and she was very confident in being able to provide me a great service. I went in later that week and loved my new refreshed color and haircut. She was super friendly and I would definitely go back here. read more

Kristin is awesome! Kind, diligent in her work, educated me on products and usage. So happy on first try at a new salon in Lakeview.. i found Ricci kapricci! Love my color and cut! And I'm a color snob.. read more

Ricci Kapricci HALSTED - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really enjoyed my haircut at Ricci Kapricci. The cut was great and service was excellent too.

I am from out of town and have been in Chicago taking care of my daughter who had surgery. I needed a haircut badly so I made an appointment. The salon is close by my daughter's house so I walked there. I was told to take a seat and the stylist would be right with me. She came and got me and I told her about my hair and she said for me to have a seat. Then she informed me that she didn't cut short hair. I was a little puzzled by this but she said it again. So to make a long story short I didn't get my hair cut because I do have short hair. I am almost 79 years old and in my life time I have never been told in a hair salon that a hair dresser did not cut short hair??? It would have been nice if someone asked me when I spoke with them over the phone. So if you have short hair make sure you tell someone before you make an appointment!!! read more

I've been coming to this salon since October of 2021 and I love everything about it. The vibe of the surrounding neighborhood, very reasonable pricing, modern interior without feeling unwelcoming, and everyone I've come into contact who works there has been super friendly. Specifically Tres, who has been on my hair journey with me through thick and thin. She's knowledgeable, honest, and wildly enthusiastic about her work and life, in and out of the salon. She makes me excited to get my hair done and I always look forward to my time in her chair. read more

Ricci Kapricci HALSTED - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love a lot of things, but Ricci Kapricci and Lela are at the top of that list. I came to Lela after getting the worst balayage of my life down the block at a different salon, and she has fully saved my hair. Lela has color corrected my hair for months and I always leave her chair with the prettiest shade of brunette versus the orange highlights I walk in with. On top of that, she knows what will suit me better than I do myself. I trusted her whole heartedly chopping my hair despite being attached to my length and, of course, her cut was so good she convinced me I love my hair shorter and layered. Cannot recommend this salon and Lela specifically enough - forever my hair place in Chicago! read more

I come here for hair cuts and color with some highlights. Kristin is professional, skilled, and very pleasant to interact with. I am what I call tender headed - sensitive scalp - and she is always mindful of this. I appreciate that, with so much experience, she still works for the customer and never makes me feel like I should "bite the bullet" and get over it :) J.R. at the front desk is really a sweetheart. He always offers coffee and will brew it immediately if none is ready. The perfect host. When I moved to this neighborhood, I tried Ricci Kapricci - and Kristin - and keep coming back. read more

UPDATE: 1 month later, and I still haven't received a reply from the salon. I wouldn't go back to have them fix it even if they offered, but working in hospitality all my life has taught me to always put the customer first and they clearly used the comment as a CYA. Very disappointed that they didn't reach out. Customer Service 0/10. Hair Cut -1/10. Honestly, I'm not one to write bad reviews. I gave myself sometime to see if i could get used to the haircut that I got from Kristen. I went to her because, as you can probably read on here, she has the best reviews out of all the stylists. I realize that maybe if you are looking for a barber, she is the one to go to because the appointments surrounding mine were all that kind of haircut, so maybe I just assumed incorrectly. Nonetheless, I know how to describe my cuts because I often move around and have to get a new stylist every couple of years. I asked for face framing, short layers, with the base length shorter than what I currently had, but long enough to still pull back into a ponytail. I wanted my highest face-framed layer to be just above the top of my jaw line to create that Jennifer Aniston 90s hairstyle. I brought 6 pictures that showed varying hair colors with the cut that I wanted, apparently it still wasn't enough. I left with curtain bangs and long layers that were so jagged in the back, it's like I let my 3-year old niece cut my hair. I knew something was wrong when I was watching her cut but she wasn't measuring the length on both sides or watching what she was doing with the scissors. All I saw were the front pieces getting shorter and shorter (it's like that video that you can't get your cat-eyeliner to match and suddenly you look like a panda....that's what happened but with my hair) She was too busy telling me her life story of all the other salons she's been at (I'll spare the details out of respect to her because there was some stuff that she should not have told a first-time customer!) I got maybe three words in the whole time, but I honestly did not care about old coworkers or whether there was bad blood. You're at a new salon, have a great time, be happy you're not there! When I saw how short she was cutting the front pieces, I FELT BAD because I had to interrupt her life story and told her to stop because it was too short for me. She blew dried my hair and definitely knew she messed up because she said "next time we can go shorter on the layers, but it was a lot to cut off for your first time here, but look how cute your bangs look!!" as she's literally YANKING my front pieces as if the pulling would make them longer. How exactly is cutting 3 inches of hair off, "a lot to cut off"???? On top of that, I get up to go pay at the desk and they tried charging me $25 more than what a haircut was because someone said that I got my eyebrows done and/or grabbed shampoo off the shelf! WTF! I'm in the middle for studying for a huge test and my bangs keep falling in my face and it's literally the most annoying. thing. ever. I had to go out and buy barrettes that I haven't used since like 4th grade, and it makes me look so juvenile. I'm really bummed this place didn't work out, because it's so easy to get to from my apartment. Disappointed is an understatement. read more

I've been going to Lela for a few years for bleach, tone, and hair cut. She's wonderful! I look forward to seeing her and walk away feeling fresh and fabulous. Thank you Lela and also shout out to Valentina. read more

Been going to Silvio for a long time for all of my haircut needs, but decided I wanted to do a drastic change. Haven't dyed my hair in 13 years. Haven't bleached it in 20. Silvio got my hair THIS LIGHT (photos for reference) in one session! Not only did he pull off the drastic change I wanted, but my hair still feels soft and healthy afterwards. Always recommended Silvio and the Ricci Kapricci salon for haircuts and style, but now I can personally say y'all should go there for your coloring needs as well! read more

Just WOW! I came in and wanted something pretty drastic done.

Got my hair cut and eyebrow wax today by Kristen for the first time. She did an amazing job, might be the best hair cut I've ever had. Would highly recommend her!! read more

My first time going here and safe to say I was IMPRESSED!! The COVID safety precautions are outstanding! Masks required by staff and patrons, temp check when you come for your appointment, and dividers between each station. If you're looking to change up your hair but COVID has you worried, this is the place to do it! Now onto the best part, my stylist Yesenia! I walked in with a picture from Pinterest (as many of us do) and she did an amazing job. I've never been so happy with a haircut! She helped me figured out what would look best on me and was so friendly. Normally the small talk at salons is tiring, but she was so friendly and genuine. She will be my main for now on! If you're hesitant to change up your look because of COVID, I can assure you this is the place to do it! read more

Went to Felipe for a partial highlight and cut. He did an AMAZING job!! Experience was a 10/10!

Kristen is amazing!!! She is my reliable girl for all things balayage, highlight, toning, color correction you name it. I had a terrible experience at another salon in the area and she fixed what they destroyed. I just went in to get a toner recently because my brassy blonde was coming back from the terrible dye job and because i wash hair every day and she worked wonders. I seriously can't recommend her enough - she's amazing! read more
