    My hair before.. I never asked for shortened layers, in fact she told me she wasn't going to touch the length of my layers.

    I'm sure the owner will be replying with a condescending message, but let me start by saying I am not one to complain of services. The appointment started with me changing my schedule and coming in later so the stylist, Stacias, could have another client come before me. I told her I was unhappy with how choppy my layers were, and that I wanted everything rounded out and connected. I told her my hair looked thinner because it was so layered and that I wanted it to look fuller. I was left with a haircut that looked disconnected and even choppier than when I went in. Before I left I tried asking the stylist to round out the bottom, but she told me not to worry about it and that it looked blunt because she blow dried it straight.. I left, went in the car to facetime my friend, and the first thing he said was wth did they do to your hair, so I know i'm not crazy. I went back in after about five minutes, but my stylist had already left. Someone else tried to help, but they had another client coming in in a few minutes. Ended up having to take off 2 more inches. Worst part is I just spent $600 getting my hair colored and now $120 for a cut I absolutely hate. I have messaged back and forth with the manager. I already tried going in to fix my hair same day, and I do not want to waste my time going in again and having it chopped up even more. Refused to give me a refund on a horrible $100 hair cut.. which I don't mind paying & thought paying a higher price would mean a nice haircut.. I would have better results at a cheaper place. If my hair was fixable I would go in, but look how short the stylist made my front pieces when I had asked for the exact opposite..

    Just avoid this salon if you want a root touch-up while having highlights; otherwise, beware of the result you could get (check the photo taken 12 hours after the appointment; I wish I made the same one for "before", as even growing natural hair looked nicer than this so-called professional touch-up). I've got a very disappointing result from one of the top stylists (Carrie) who either didn't pick the right color for the roots or kept the dye on before washing it off for too long + didn't do a good job with blending it in using a toner (according to my 2 go-to colorists who saw the photos of the outcome but whose schedule for the summer I couldn't match because of business trips - huge mistake). I addressed the issue very politely with the stylist but was told the only option I should have used was more highlights (I was never told the color would look patchy otherwise). On top of that, the owner told me " this was exactly the color/formula I wanted " (as if it's me picking up the right tube from the shelf and following the processing requirements during the appointment) and " the salon doesn't offer free highlights ". I have never asked for a free service, in the first place, but I did expect an acceptable result from a $150+ service booked 7 weeks in advance. Also, I would have considered other options if I was warned about the possible outcome timely. Finally, this was the first time in my life I heard that highlights should be redone more than once per 4-6 months to keep the hair color visually appealing (full highlights were done at the end of April, and the described visit to Sine happened in late August). All the other stylists managed to do root touch-ups without creating a sharp contrast between the roots and the ends / middle section of the hair - not to mention that if they were unsure of the result for any reason, they communicated concerns and potential solutions proactively before starting to do their work, not post-factum. Overall, the customer service standards are highly questionable, if not non-existing, not to mention the photo indicates the quality of work deemed fully acceptable / normal by the owner. In case the stylist makes a mistake or just doesn't deliver (and admits the result looks strange in person), it will be the client's problem, and even a simple apology would be too much to ask for. " We are fully booked to try to do anything else" effectively means " we have other clients, and cannot care less about you or your satisfaction with the service ". " Pay for more services if you want to get it right " is a great piece of advice to be given to a clearly dissatisfied client at a top-ranked salon - I'll definitely follow it elsewhere.

    My AMAZING hair!

    I just had the greatest experience at Sine Qua Non Salons with Valerie! She took the time to discuss my hair in great detail and what she was going to do with it. I couldn't believe her AMAZING technique and it was SO fun chatting with her throughout the whole process. I would 100%, without a doubt, absolutely recommend this salon and Valerie! The BEST experience!

    After my first color (baby highlights) and cut with no toner needed. Grew out beautifully with no touch ups.

    I have been with a few stylists at this location and they are all amazing, but if you are blonde or trying to go blonde you must see Lauren! She is an incredible colorist who truly cares about the integrity of your hair. I go in once a year to go a bit blonder and my hair grows out beautifully in between visits. She also gives great haircuts in between colors and I always leave super happy with my hair. She takes her time with you and recommends the best products. You cannot go wrong with Lauren or Sine in general. Top notch service, will not go anywhere else.

    I got my hair cut by Glenn and it was my first time there. I was so impressed by the hospitality immediately upon my arrival. Everyone is super friendly and it's a cute space. I also loved my haircut!!!

    I have been going to this salon for over 6 years. I have curly hair and would not trust my locks to anyone. I love this place.

    Came with my sister for pedis. This is her regular spot and I really loved it too!…read more I love the ambiance it's not all white and bright lights like some salons, it's a lot warmer and more relaxing! The staff are all super nice and did a wonderful job (no cuts or bleeding ahah which happens sometimes during pedis but no they were perfect here!) I also liked their temporary shoes more than the rubber ones at other places and love that they give you a baggie with oil in it to put over your feet before putting shoes on to make sure that the polish doesn't get rubbed. I would wear flip flops normally but not during winter in Chicago of course, so I love that they pay extra attention and make sure your pedicure lasts :)

    I've been going to Salon Chic for about two years now. I've been in Chicago for almost eight years,…read moreand I can confidently say that Salon Chic has been the best nail salon experience I've had since moving here. I personally see either Sharon or Trang but have also seen the work of other technicians who seem to deliver great quality from what I can tell. Beyond the results which are fantastic, I LOVE the vibe of this salon. I've been to other nail salons that seem a bit "flat" or give an unpleasant vibe. This is not the case with Salon Chic. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile, and you can really tell that the staff enjoys working together and cares for one another - cheesy but it makes a huge difference for me. Unless I move to another area where I can't easily get to Salon Chic, I will ALWAYS be a customer of theirs! Thank you, Salon Chic! :)
