Ok, so i walk in to get a Brazilian wax, and was helped in under 10 minutes. I am used to paying $70.00 plus for this service, and it was only $30.00!!! Veronica did my wax....she was fast, friendly, efficient, and personable. Although she missed a few hairs(after the wax) ,with the tweezers, i can deal with that for the price, so Yes i recommend this salon! read more

I usually have Zoran cut my hair, but any of the nice ladies that work here do a great job as well. Everyone is friendly, the shop is clean and the prices are fair. I usually just tell Zoran to do whatever he feels would look best, and I have never been disappointed. I seem to get more compliments about my hair ever since I started going to shear elegance. read more

I was fit in, and my hair cut is great. Very efficient and informative stylist. If you are looking for a great hair cut I recommend this salon. read more

Great, professional hair stylist is Alma. Very friendly staff and they keep busy, so make an appointment.

I love this place. I have been a customer for almost 12 years and have tried other places and no one compares to this place. I love my stylist Elma. She is young, hip and knows exactly what I need and want. She is not afraid to suggest new things and I trust her 100%. I just recently tried a place in Elgin because I didn't have time to drive out to the city and will never do that again. They were way overpriced and worthless. Shear E is very reasonable and know what they are doing. I recommend this place to everyone I know. My entire family and almost all friends have tried this place once and never went anywhere else. LOVE THEM! read more

I haven't found a better place to cut my hair then here! I've been going for a couple months now and Saida hasn't failed to make me adore my hair! My hair is very thick and long and it's been damaged many times by the hair salons I've been too. Saida did exactly what I wanted and I highly recommend this salon to all the ladies! read more

I've been getting a haircut from Elma for the past five years, since I moved into the Lincoln Square neighborhood. She always does a great job which is why I keep going back. The prices have been slowly rising (it's now $20 for a men's haircut) but it's still worth it. read more

Probably Chicago's best kept secret. I have to agree with the other reviewers, Zoran does a perfect job every time. He instantly remembers you when you walk in the door and knows how you like your haircut. He may ask something like "Are we doing the usual today?", can't get any better than that. He's friendly and fast and does a great job. If you happen to come on his off day his fellow co-workers are great too. Awesome place with reasonable prices. I always leave a good tip, they deserve it! read more

I have been a customer for 5 years now. Saida does the best hair cut I have ever had, plus she handles my hair color beautifully. AND they don't charge enough, a benefit to you and me. read more

The ladies (and gentleman) at this salon are phenomenal! Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel right at home. They listen to what you would like and they make sure to meet and exceed your expectations. Saida is my favorite! I always get blonde highlights and she is the queen! I never have to worry about brassy/orange tones because she knows just what to do to get the color perfect. Another plus are the great prices. I would never go anywhere else. read more

My older sister introduced me to this place, and they completely exceeded my expectations. I have been to several different places trying to find a place that I felt complete confidence that the staff would execute a perfect haircut every time, and I am happy to say that my search has ended! Shear Elegance has given me exactly what I wanted, and has gone above and beyond to make sure my hair was on point before I left! The cut takes a little longer than it would at most places, but that's only because they are perfectionists, and want to make sure there isn't a hair out of place. The staff is very friendly and are the only people I trust to give me the perfect cut. They accept walk-ins, but it's best that you schedule an appointment, because they are usually pretty busy! read more

Saida is my stylist. I just adore her and she is amazingly good with color and cut. She always makes me feel so welcome and as a patient with a critical illness she always inquires about how I am doing and makes me as comfortable as possible. I have been going to Shear Elegance since way back when they were a tiny storefront next to Cafe Selmarie. I have tried other "hoity-toity" shops like Tiger Lillie in Lincoln Square who had a snooty attitude and much higher prices and they couldn't stay in business. Shear Elegance is half the price for their services and shows that great service will keep their business open for many years. Shear Elegance focuses on providing great styling and customer service and doesn't need over priced products and high prices for services to make them the great shop they are. read more

This was the worst experiences i have ever had. I had asked for the lady to clean up my eyebrows. She gets done with me and tells me she made a mistake but it's not that bad. I have never not paid for a service and did anyways and tipped her but as i looked more closely because i kept telling myself it's ok. It is not. Then i went back and asked for my 10 dollars back and then they tried telling me it's not that bad. For them to try to say it's not that bad and give me the run around about giving me my money back was completely ridiculous. Until the owner had to be called and immediately looking at what happened gave me my money back. I have never had such a horrible experience and for them to tell me it's not bad. First and last time customer. Complete disappointment. read more

the ladies that work here are so sweet! they really do make sure that you're satisfied with the service! got my hair done here and I'm extremely glad I chose this salon! definitely worth it! so coming back here! read more
