I was in a pinch and needed my hair washed. Elizabeth did a great job, the products feel amazing in my hair and she gave me a great scalp massage. I will definitely be going back!!! read more

I went for a haircut, and the owner didn't bother to wash or style my hair. I was left with stretched-out, puffy hair after the cut. I won't be returning--extremely unprofessional. Don't waste your time here. Owner is very inconsistent with services. read more

Tried Salon87 for the first time today (highlight and cut) and had fantastic experience. The color is beautiful and for half the cost of salons closer to my home in Bucktown. Highly recommend! read more

Eva is a hidden treasure for Men hair cuts just off Lawrence Ave on Damen. I had walked past this salon for years and then today decided to give her a try. Awesome ! She took her time asking me what I wanted and then delivered a great cut including 'real barber razor' used on back neck area.The edges were razor tight. An absolute steal for under $20. Highly recommend to the all the guys... Also wanted to add, my wife considers Eva to be the best 'Hair Color Specialist' on the North side. read more

I was so dissapointed. I can't even begin to tell you the feeling of wasted time. I go in I loved the highlights but I hated that half my head was orange. My left side was showing orange as the girl added highlights very late into my lighting. I specifically said I dont want the orange looking hair. Ok we will fix it... I had walked out with a full head of orange hair. I was so annoyed and embarrassed to even go out.... I went right back in and they corrected the hair, I cried... I really enjoyed my highlights the light hair was fun for me, I just couldn't stand the orange spots. My hair is so dark now and yes you can see some highlights. My scalp is killing me and I am sure my hair will feel like hay for the next few months. I'm sad.. but I am glad it's not orange. Overall I like them. I'm just a bit frustrated. I didn't buy the discount because I want them to be successful. read more

I had been with the same salon/stylist for over 5 years and truly loved loved my stylist! However, I decided to get smart with my money, recently and no longer wanted to pay $300 (plus) bucks, every 4-5 months for my hair, upkeep. I have long hair... my typical 3-5 month service includes: highlights, low lights, gray coverage and a trim. I searched online for something a bit more affordable and found Eva. I called her and we set up an appointment. Upon meeting, I was a bit taken a back as the shop is a bit run down and family members are hanging around, inside the salon, playing on phones and U tube. It was just new to me, that's all. Not what I've been used to. Her daughter is lovely and so very friendly... we chatted and laughed together. : ) A real cutie. Not going to lie... If i schedule a salon visit, I'm expecting things to be perfect, from check in, to exit. This is not a boujee salon. Do not expect that. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT, HOWEVER: A Stylist who, KNOWS HAIR. A Stylist who, listens to your requests. A Stylist who, honors what you're looking for. A Stylist who, charges fair pricing. I do believe I have found my new salon, as long as pricing remains the same. It's a breath of fresh air, here. You will not be offered Prosecco, wine or any other malt beverage, upon check in or during your appointment. However, You ALSO will not be paying $95.00 for a HAIR TRIM. Eva is a real GEM and I am so very happy to of found her. Saving me some money, and still getting my beautiful hair. SEE YOU SOON, EVA. : ) read more

Excellent for kids haircuts too! Eva is hard working and uses great products. Just make sure to call before you go in to ensure the salon is open read more

Do yourself a favor and keep on walking. The inconsistency of cuts (for men at least) you'll receive at this place is staggering. It doesn't matter what you ask for, the stylists here will give you the same cut, every time, regardless of if your hair grows different. This is basically a day care. I've put it up with this for a few months cause of the economy of the cost. However, each stylist brings in their 1-2 kids while they work. Children constantly come up to them asking for their phones, interrupting the cut. Today was the last straw. Went in for a cut. She told me to sit down. The usual day care environment. After waiting 15 minutes for the one stylist on duty to finish up a cut, she started on a new kid's haircut. Didn't even bother to communicate there was a queue. Go to any other hole-in-the-wall salon for a better $15 cut. read more

I went here on a Sunday because I was dreading trying to do my own hair for a wedding that night given the humidity. I chose L&E mainly because they were open on a Sunday and had awesome reviews on Yelp. Admittedly, if it hadn't been for the reviews, I am not sure I would have tried it. I am so thankful I did though and look forward to going back. Eva was very friendly, the salon was very clean and full of my favorite products (even my favorite Moroccan oil- yay!), and most importantly my hair looked fabulous. Eva did exactly what I asked and I was so happy with the end result. She did a blow-out/flat iron on my long, thick, often frizzy hair. It looked gorgeous when I left. Very silky and smooth. Just what I wanted. And I got my eye brows threaded. Oh, and I got tons of compliments on how awesome my hair looked! Go here - you will not be disappointed. read more

I had Eva cut my hair last night and I am SO happy, such a great cut. She listened to what I wanted and made a couple suggestions, and I'm glad I put my trust in her ideas. I've had my hair cut in Chicagoland many times, and I've had some hairdressers that don't seem confident in what they're doing - and have done a terrible job. Eva was the exact opposite, and it feels awesome when you have confidence in the person cutting your hair! Eva's also very personable and fun to chat with and though we just met, there was no awkwardness. The salon is nothing fancy, but they use really good product, and the haircuts there are very affordable - $20 for the cut, an extra $15 to blow dry & style. Definitely worth it. I will be back in a couple months for another cut! read more

Eva, my wonderful hairstylist, just opened her own salon with her partner Lidia, so I am updating my review here.: I just got my sixth or seventh haircut from Eva today. When she first cut my hair, I was unsure of it, but I got several compliments on it right away and then it turned out that it was the best wash and wear style for my wavy curly hair that I've probably ever had. It got me through one of the hottest, most humid, frizziest summers in a few years, and instead of doing the Roseanne Rosanna Danna summerheat fuzz pyramid it usually does, my hair had quite a bit more layered guidance and curled and waved beautifully through the season. I am still very happy with it! And all of this satisfaction only cost $20 a cut (plus tip). (She also does eyebrow threading for $8 and mani-pedis are available on weekends for $30, by the way.) read more

This normally wouldn't be a place I would walk into if it weren't for the reviews. I've gotten my hair cut at expensive places before but Eva did a better job, partially because she didn't have to go through an interview process to open up her own place. A lot of stylists aren't as comfortable as she was (another reviewer mentioned it was confidence.) I have to say though, this would be akin to going to a dive bar and finding out that they brew their own beer. It's not a setting for princesses. The chair where they wash your hair sits a little too low and is a bit uncomfortable. Their coffee is served out of styrofoam cups. However, Eva did an excellent job, the atmosphere was relaxed, and she didn't pressure me to buy anything. It wasn't even mentioned. read more

this place was DISGUSTING -- it was incredible dirty, disorganized and there was hair everywhere, including the cash register counter! i set my purse down on the counter and left with a bunch of hair stuck to it! EWWWWWWW!!! when i mentioned that they had hair on their counter, they just shrugged and did nothing. then a week later when i had to return, there was still hair everywhere, including the counter. and each time i was there, they had no ppl in there and at least 2 stylists sitting around doing nothing. how about sweeping???? how does cut hair from a bunch of different ppl find its way all the to the display case for over a week? by NEVER CLEANING UP. they also DONT KNOW ANYTHING about hair. i made an appointment specifically for a hair glaze or gloss, and when i got there, suddenly no one had even heard of it! this happened 2 other times when my appointment was reschedule for a stylist who could have possible heard of a glaze. i actually had to google hair glaze and show them a few articles on my phone. they rescheduled me twice b/c each appointment was with someone who didn't know what it was, and the rest of the salon had never heard of it. PLUS they only have permanent color, which i cant use since im growing my hair out for charity. they also kept misplacing my appointment. the 3 times i showed up (all for one appointment), and despite having no one in there each time, they were absolutely baffled that i had an appointment, and kept asking me why i was there. really?? they had a notebook they wrote appointments down! the last person i had an appointment with kept apologizing saying that the salon owner doesnt like to accommodate customers and didnt know what she was doing. i had a groupon and groupon only refunded me a credit! also, ive noticed some of the good reviews are written by the ppl who work there! in my experiences (3 attempts for 1 hair cut that never ended up happening), the bad reviews are completely accurate! i suspect they just got a bunch of friends to write positive reviews, b/c there is NO WAY those reviews are about the same place! i wish i could post pictures, but i took some pics of the filth and hair -- it was that shocking and disgusting! DO NOT GO. THE PLACE IS FILTHY AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!! read more

I've walked by L&E Salon too many times to count and I never gave it a second thought. That was until I needed to get my brows threaded. Luckily yelp came to the rescue recommending a great place around the corner from my house at a decent price. What's not to like about paying $8 plus a tip. I'm sure you could find cheaper but the quality would be lacking. I walked in and was greeted right away. I was shown to the back area and had my brows threaded. The worker was more informative then other people I have gone to thread my brows. I'll be back next time I need my brows done again. read more

After going to many salons, I have found Eva the owner of Salon87(previously L&E)to do the best blond highlights in Chicago for the best price around! Also she is very sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. Every time I go back to get touched up, Eva is very talented at finding the exact same pieces of hair that she worked on before and adds on to them, I don't know how she does it! She is very artistic and articulate, I've been a loyal customer of hers for many years now, I always leave very satisfied and happy! read more

I'm so lucky to have found this place! I first Came here because was close to home and great reviews. I highly recommend Eva as a hair stylist. She is the only stylist in Chicago I let cut my hair. She does a wonderful job, and Everytime I get a hair cut or style from her I get a ton of compliments. Also she uses Morrocon oil products on my hair and I love them. The salon is affordable to compared to some of the other pricier salons in lakeview. I am Sending my boyfriend here so he can get a good haircut instead of wasting his time at a commercial place like Hair cuttery. I would rather l & e salon have the buisness! read more

I visited Eva for the first time this weekend and feel like I hit the jackpot! I moved to Chicago over 6 months ago, and could not believe the prices that salons were charging for a haircut and color. Because I have a pixie cut and am 80% gray, I require both every 5 weeks. I found Eva through groupon and had her cut my hair. She did an outstanding job for less than half of what I would pay in an upscale salon. She uses quality product and I was so pleased with her work. She was very kind and considerate. The salon itself is average (which is why the 4 stars instead of 5), nothing fancy or upscale, but I care more about the quality and price of my hair cut than they setting so that did not bother me at all. I will be returning in a few weeks for her to do my color. read more

Eva is the only person who knows how to cut my hair! She's fantastic! We live in the South Loop but our entire family will travel up to L&E salon to have Eva cut and style our hair. She's wonderful! read more

I moved to Chicago from California three years ago. Though I've been to plenty of lovely salons here, I am Latina and have a very thick head of wavy, unruly, very difficult to deal with hair, and have thus had a really difficult time finding someone who knows what to do with it. I was fortunate to have found Alicia. A fellow Latina, she knew exactly what to do with my hair and works very quickly while being super warm and friendly. This is by no means the fanciest salon you will step into, but if what you are looking for is good service and a good value, I would highly recommend. read more

I'm giving two stars because everyone was very nice and this review is quite late. I went in to get my eyebrows threaded quickly on a whim since it's close to my house. There was only one person working, which is fine i'm a former stylist and understand how things work. Unfortunately, there was also children running around, which again i'm a former stylist so I understand things happen, but the noise level was through the roof! The children were jumping on things, screaming, etc. I assume it was from boredom and can really blame them. The threading takes place in a back room, which seemed clean and nice. My HUGE problem with the service is; I came in asking just to follow the original shape just clean up, when I came out I barely had eyebrows. I actually like to have the appearance of having something there and not just two thin lines. I thought I was just being self-conscious but when I went into work the next day everyone asked what happened. It was a week before my birthday and all I can say is thank god for eyebrow pencils. I wish it was better service, it's close. read more

I'm impressed. My eyebrows were in dire need of a clean up and it wasn't looking good on a Sunday because most places are closed. I found L&E and walked in. $8 for eyebrows and $6 for upper lip. Meticulous. That's all I can say. I swear she got every hair and then some. I'm extremely pleased with the result. I may actually start coming here regularly to get my eyebrows done. Don't forget to check in to get the 50% offer on Yelp. They do honor it. read more

After a few more times back, Eva is an amazing hair stylist. She is quick and accurate. However, I cant say that about the others. The other one we've tried is slow, not very good, and rude. read more

I called this salon on Saturday July 8th 2017 at 7pm and asked for an appointment, the lady there was so sweet and kind and said I could come into use my Groupon. I arrived at 7:30 and ended up leaving at 8:30 which was past their closing time. I showed her pictures which she intently looked at and cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I was very pleased. read more

Using a groupon today, I got a cut and style from Eva. Right on time for the appointment and did a great job with my hair. Fast too, I was done in 30min. I would definitely go back. read more

I came back for a hair cut and threading this time. The threading was good as usual. The hair cut was pretty good too. My hair looks and feels a million times better. The only thing I wish I did differently was cut my bangs a tad bit shorter but it still came out nice. read more

They do a great job on men's hair, too! My boyfriend usually goes to Cost Cutters and comes out with a very mediocre haircut. L&E is just as inexpensive ($10 for a men's cut!), but they really do a professional job. His hair looks great! read more

Excellent threading. My brows look amazing. She took her time, and did a wonderful job. I'll be back for sure!

I have gotten my hair cut here twice now. Both times the stylist listened to what I wanted and did a through job. The stylist (I can't remember which one it was...) remembered me from the previous time too. She took her time cutting and blowdrying/straightening my hair. They also honored a coupon I had with no problems. Can't beat the price $35! I'll be back again in a few months! read more

This place is AMAZING. Ive been highlighting my hair for 5 years and have been to many salons and this place is hands down my permanent salon. I could have described what I wanted in another language unknown my stylist, Lydia, and she still would have got it right. I have the exact color Ive been trying to achieve for the last 3 years. Lydia and Eva are some talented ladies with the sweetest dispositions and serious hair skills. I promise you, you will not be disappointed!! read more

I had been going to the Hair Cuttery at Lincoln and Damen prior to trying this place out. Never again!! L and E is great. They do great work and they are very reasonably priced. The girl who did my hair was meticulous and spent extra time on the back of head shaping the hairline and even finished with a straight razor and some kind gel or cream on the edge of my hairline. Nice attention to detail! And the cut was outstanding. I actually went back the next day because I wanted my bleached blond hair a little more white, less yellow and she was happy to oblige, free of charge. This is a gem of a place and I'm thrilled that they're in my neighborhood! To hell with the HairCuttery. read more

I just started going here after my last hair stylist moved to California Both Lidia and Eva do a GREAT job here! I'm pretty particular for a guy, but Lidia listens well and does exactly what I want. She really spends the time on my hair and I greatly appreciate that. Both Lidia and Eva are hard working people and it shows in their work. The salon is nothing fancy, but if you want a great cut, I highly recommend their salon! read more

The kind, but mullet-focused folks over at Studio 4 Hair had given my son one too many bad haircuts--there are only so many years I will have control over my son's hair, and I want to use them wisely--so I did what you all do, searched for a good kid's haircut nearby. This came up cheap and 4 1/2 stars and it is just that. Nice people, detail-oriented and trained. And In Ex Pensive. I've been twice and tipped well, because we need to keep these wonderful people happy and just where they are. read more

I work nearby so L&E is a really convenient and great place - I've been going for almost a year now. Usually I get my eyebrows threaded and upper lip waxed. Lidia is the one who usually takes care of me (I tend to visit on days when she's working, but that's mostly a coincidence) and I've also had Eva do my eyebrows once. They are both fantastic! The threading is quick and close-to-painless, they will pluck to get the missed hairs and trim with scissors if necessary. For the price (and for more) it's definitely worth the service. Highly recommend! read more

I went in and got a great haircut despite giving a really bad description of how I wanted it. The blow drying took a bit long but it looked great. And the price is amazing!!! read more

Have been coming to this salon for about 4yrs. Eva has always done an excellent job on my hair! However, the last couple of times I've gone she is NEVER there! A few months ago, I made an appointment to specifically have her cut my hair, when I got there she was gone! I found this upsetting since I went there to see her. Anyway, since I was already there I had her assistant Rosario cut my hair and she did a great job, I walked out happy. It's been some time now and I needed another trim so I went back to this salon a few days ago and Eva wasn't there(what else is new?) So another girl named Jackie cut my hair. She cut it wet so it was hard to tell what it was going to look like dry. I wanted layers with a side swept fringe. Needless to say, when I got home and blow dried my hair, I noticed she didn't cross check her work at all! I'm very unhappy with the cut! The fringe is all over the place, when I brushed the bang out there are long hairs mixed with short it's horrible! This girl has absolutely no clue what she's doing! I ended up having to cut the hair at another salon and fix it after paying them! NEVER AGAIN!!! Thanks for wasting my time and money! Jackie thanks for your "cagada" cut! So the employees understand "Coman mil veces mierda!" read more

I normally get my eyebrows waxed but due to all the good reviews, I felt comfortable going here to get them threaded for the first time. Eva did an excellent job and it was only $8! The place isn't fancy but you can't beat their price for the service. I am very pleased! read more

L&E Salon was a great experience. The salon recently opened in Ravenswood right past Lawrence on Damen. The two ladies who own the shop Eva and Lidia were extremely friendly and nice. Their shop opened about a month ago so I decided to stop in on this rainy Friday night to see if they could do a cut and color and for how much. We agreed on a price of fifty dollars for both which I thought was extremely fair. We got started right away and Eva showed me the color book with the hair swatches and helped me match a nice color for spring.. She was fast and accurate with the color application and I am very pleased with the way it turned out. She cut my hair with the razor shears which gave my bob some nicely added layers. Over all I'd say sh did a really good job. This is not a high end salon, but it is high quality. Give L&E a try because they are totally worth it. read more

Never again. Let me just start off with the basics: 3 days ago I had long, ombre colored hair...today I won't even take my hair out of the pony tail. With spring here, I was ready for my "spring chop." I bought their groupon and thought I'd finally find my Chicago stylist after all the awesome things Yelp had to say. After I'm seated, (20 minutes late) I showed David a picture of the (two different) recent times I had chopped my hair so he could see the length/style, and most importantly, color. I honestly don't think he looked. I very specifically said i didn't want yellow, streaky highlights---and that's exactly what i have. Let me just explain how this 4.5 hour appointment went. Yes. 4.5 hours. After I showed the picture, David was MIA for a good 10 minutes just chatting. He came back and apparently remembered I was there, and left to go mix the color. So I went to the bathroom while I waited more--HUGE mistake. Not only was it disgusting and without a working sink--I saw where they mixed their color--and it looked like a child's art counter. Just scary and unprofessional. We finally get things going and he starts foiling my head in THE weirdest pattern i have ever seen. Mind you, at one point he asked how long it had been since I had died my hair...after I had already told him the top portion was purposefully died brown for my current style. I should've just left then. After talking about me to his coworkers in Spanish (which I also speak) and rolling his eyes, and leaving to chat for another 10 minutes (not for more color, either) WHILE MY HEAD WAS ONLY HALFWAY FOILED...I was counting the minutes until I could leave. After he was done, he didn't put me under a heat-lamp,oh no. He instead started cutting hair for the walk-ins...I literally watched him do 4 hair cuts. He kept telling me that the color wasn't ready, and eventually literally had to start washing out the back so it wouldn't over process. After 3 hours, I explained how waiting this long was unacceptable, and he started ripping all of the foils out my head immediately. So now half of my hair is lighter than the other because of that and the way he set up the foils. As if that process wasn't bad enough, my haircut was horrible. The scissors he used weren't sharp, so it took ages, and I kid you not, I had stairs in my hair...just blatant chopping and all different lengths. I pointed out finally that I wasn't happy and that one side was (obviously) longer than the other...and his response? "Your head is crooked." I literally started crying. Never have I ever cried in a salon. So another stylist takes over, and fixes some of the damage that's been done to the haircut, but its no where near the pictures I showed, or what I expected from a salon that had such rave reviews. I'm sure for a quick guys cut they're great--but ladies, just don't. read more
