    Shorter than i wanted but still cute

    I was able to book an appointment for the next day which was awesome. The staff was super friendly and the salon was clean & adorable. My only concern was that i asked for my hair length to be between my chin & shoulders (so about 1-1.5" off). When my stylist showed me what he thought would be a good length, it was below my chin so i agreed. When my cut & dry was done, my hair was very much above my chin. Its fine, its hair that grows but def not what i asked for

    I'm glad I called on a Monday because even if the flyer says they're closed, they're actually o pen on Mondays! Anyhoo, Jad did my hair color (just a root touch up to cover the pesky grays) then styled my hair. I was really happy with the style when I walked out. He was very efficient, offered my sweets and coffee, and was very professional. I'm gonna go around the city singing, I feel so pretty now!

    The haircut I got versus the haircut I received.  I will never come back to this place.

    One word to describe my first experience at Saraya Salon: disappointing. I had an appointment with Omar, but since I came in earlier Sam took me in for a haircut. He asked what I wanted and showed him a picture of myself with the hairstyle I wanted. He seemed to understand what I am requesting since my hair is not the most compliant one. He spent 20 minutes with me and when I asked him how can I style my hair parted on the side he said, "it's impossible." I literally told him I need some length on the side and showed him my photo for reference. If a haircut cost $45, I would expect some quality and attention to details. Sadly, neither quality not attention to details occurred during my haircut. I left the salon feeling unheard and disappointed. Lastly, I would expect the clippers and items to be cleaned/sanitized in between clients, but Sam did not do so. I would say, if you are to try this place, your money and business will be best suited for another salon/barber shop. I will never come back to this place again.

    My daughter found this salon on line. As soon as you walk in you can tell it's a high end salon. From being greeted, to the service she received, I was very pleased. We've been to numerous salons and have yet to find one that we are happy with. We have found it. We will definitely be back. Next time I will be their client.

    New haircut w red hair color.  I couldn't love it any more.  100 thank yous, Saraya Salon!  You have a client for life.

    Sam and Jad are incredible! I went from blonde to red in their salon at my request. Sam colored and cut my hair, and Jad styled it. It was done in such good taste. I also got the most incredible haircut I've ever had changing my drab locks into a full-bodied hairdo that requires little attention on my part. I had my hair styled here for an evening event as well. Jad did it. It was the most attractive hairstyle I have ever worn. My man went bananas! I'm sitting in Sam's chair now getting more red hair color. So grateful I came across this salon. Do yourself a favor and pull the trigger. They're amazing!!

    I went here last year for coloring. I loved it and I came back for second time for coloring and haircut. I am 56 year old and he made my hair look so full with volume. Ask for Jad. He will take good care of you and your hair.

    Great cut and style.

    Just down a bit off Michigan Avenue, this salon was easy to find and get to. The Salon has online booking for appointments, which helped a lot because i was in chicago for a business trip. Jad listened to the issues. I've been having my hair and came up with a brand new plan that looked extremely professional. He styled it in a way I've never done before and it looks great. The style really brings out my highlights and low lights and is very flexible so I can do many things with my haircut. The salon was pleasant and there was no pushy upselling. Next time I come back to Chicago I will definitely make an appointment here.

    $45 ash blonde glaze + $75 wash/haircut/style. Thanks Jad!

    Just had a great experience at Saraya for the first time! I was looking for an early appt last minute and they were able to accommodate me within the hour. I also straight up asked if they have had experience with thick Asian hair, and Jad delivered. He recommended a $45 glaze treatment that toned out the brassiness of my highlights, and gave me a $75 haircut that met my requests of long layers, cutting out some bulk, and some face framing magic. Even before he styled my hair beautifully, I noticed the major improvements he made and did not feel at all fooled by the final outcome (like I have at other places). 10/10, would recommend!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lira Hair Salon. I came in after a disastrous visit to a…read moreso‑called "blonde specialist" who completely ruined my hair while trying to take me from brunette to blonde. My hair was damaged, uneven, and honestly I was scared to try again. Lira changed everything. She not only helped me achieve the blonde I originally wanted, but she did it in a way that protected my hair and brought it back to life. My color looks beautiful, natural, and exactly how I envisioned it. Even better--my hair is actually growing back and feeling healthy again. Lira is truly a master of her craft. She listens, she cares, and she knows exactly what she's doing. If you're thinking about going blonde or need someone to fix a color gone wrong, she's the one you want in your corner. Absolutely worth every visit.

    First I will start with what was good…read more 1. The dye job ended up beautiful. I came in with pretty unclear instructions and reference photos and both the stylist and the owner were able to figure out what fit my needs. This seems to be a huge strength here. 2. They were able to fit me in last minute. What was bad 1. The total time listed online was 1.45 hours, the service ended up taking 2.45 hours. I have been to many salons and never had my hair take that long, especially when I was getting all over color and a blowout (no haircut). Perhaps this was due to me booking last minute. However, the website booking made it look wide open and I think it is the responsibility of the salon to accurately represent their booking capability. I would not have booked with them had I known what experience was to follow. 2. The salon overall seemed overbooked and people were bouncing around. Three different people worked on my hair. Personally, I really didn't like this set up. I like to build a relationship with my stylist and this hectic atmosphere was not synonymous with that 3. The blowout I had was so uncomfortable. The rollers were tangled up in my hair and I could feel it ripping out as the stylist took them out. I have never have a blowout be so painful. My hair had so many split ends after I looked in the mirror at home. 4. My hair fell the moment I stepped outside. Granted it was a windy day, but my hair doesn't typically fall that fast. I think this may have been due to the stylist rushing at the end. On one hand I'm glad she did because I had been sitting alone for quite some time, but on the other hand I paid for essentially nothing. My old stylist back home (moved cross country) had no problem giving me a blowout that lasted at least a few hours. Even on windy days. 5. At one point the owner took my stylist in the back and seemed to be scolding her. This is never something a new client wants to see. I immediately felt anxious that something had gone wrong with my hair color. It ended up great but tbh experience was awkward and handled strangely in my opinion. 6. Finally. The price came out to $260 for all over color and a blowout. I wouldn't mind this price if it wasn't for the lackluster experience. Hair salons are charging luxury prices without offering luxury experiences. The pricing structure is also strange. They charge $60 extra for toner but I have never had a color job that didn't need toner to look good. It feels strange to not include it all together. The toner charge was added after which was a surprise because toner has always been included in the price. To be clear, the website did ask if I wanted to add toner for $60. I thought that was for someone coming in looking just to tone and not add more color. Perhaps this was my mistake but I found the whole pricing structure strange. A few other things to note: water was offered but never given and they only accept cash/zelle/venmo tips. Overall this salon was not a fit for me. A lot of this is subjective preference but I think it's important that people understand what environment they are paying for when they sign up to spend hundreds. That being said, the color was beautiful and I am grateful for that.

I usually see Emad for my cut, color, and blowout, and he is SO kind and incredibly talented. He's truly the best hairstylist I've ever been to. My blowouts last for days, which is why I always book with him before trips. It saves me from worrying about styling my hair or packing my Dyson. I've also referred several friends, and they are just as obsessed with Emad and the team as I am. Everyone I've encountered at the salon has been so professional and kind. I also wanted to add, in response to a Yelp review mentioned below, that I've personally never encountered a language barrier with any of the staff.

I love the vibrant red color he created and my shorter cut has so much bounce and frames my face perfectly. I'm so happy with the result! I'm thrilled I found my new salon in my new city. Jay is fantastic too. Emad created/mixed the hair color and Jay applied it, and washed my hair and got me ready for the haircut. She is so nice and I really enjoyed our conversation. Beautiful and spacious salon. Welcoming atmosphere and positive vibes.
