Julia is my favorite, hands down. I've been to a multitude of salons in Chicago but haven't really hit it off with other stylists. Julia is officially the only person I'll see from now on. She genuinely cares about making you feel your best and is remarkably observant, thoughtful, and gives really great suggestions (on hair and life.) I'm very pleased with the quality of her work-- her color and cut is seamless and natural. I especially appreciate that she'd rather suggest a cheaper option when it's the better route than up-sell anything. Studio J is truly a rare gem in Chicago and I highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for quality haircare. read more

Julia has been my stylist, my confidante, and my friend for several years here in Chicago. She has made me and my hair look fantastic, every time. Julia REALLY helped me that past two years especially when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I couldn't wash my own hair for a while, and she graciously offered to wash/style it for free. She also has helped me grow my hair back in style after I lost my beautiful locks to chemotherapy. She has given me hope that my hair can and will look gorgeous again. We always talk and laugh a TON during my appointments. Julia is a talented, wonderful, funny, gem who REALLY knows what she's doing! read more

I originally visited Studio J. to have a keratin treatment and after a round of bad haircuts and a colorist who moved to LA, I decided to give Julia a try for a cut, color and keratin. To say Julia is amazing is an understatement. When we first did my highlights, we spent a good 30 minutes talking about looks and what I liked and didn't like. As a result, my highlights turned out PERFECT! Julia's haircuts are always amazing, and when I can't quite decide what I want, she always comes through with modern, on trend haircuts. I can't recommend Studio J. enough! read more

Julia has a gift! I just moved to Chicago and it's hard to find a hair dresser you can trust. This girl is trustworthy! I've been wanting bangs for 3 years and finally decided to go through with it!

Julia is definitely my new stylist here in Chicago! Her prices are fair and reasonable especially for the great quality she gives. You won't regret sitting in her chair! read more

I was visiting the Chicago area on business and thought I might need a new look. I was told by a friend of mine to check out this hair stylist Julia. I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to have someone even touch your hair after the last 20 years... but after meeting this woman I knew right away I was in good hands. She suggested a totally different look for me and I must say between the cut a color I feel and look 10 years younger. Thank you again Julia, I'll need to attend more meetings in Chicago! read more

Julia colored and cut my hair for 4 years and I can honestly say I left every appointment loving my hair. She is truly an expert of all things hair and I appreciate that she explained what would work best for my hair type, lifestyle and look.

I think what I want most from a hair stylist is someone I can trust. Every time I go in to Studio J I tell Julia what I'm thinking, she tells me if that will work/her suggestions and then she cuts it and I'm always like what the heck my hair looks amazing. She listens, not everyone does that, and every time I go in the cut gets even better because she knows me. I tell everyone I know to go to Julia. She's also super cool and has amazing hair herself, which is always a good sign... read more

I miss Julia dearly. Truly the first hairstylist I've trusted with my hair. I am more than willing to go visit her in CT for some color and a cut because she is irreplaceable. I am that annoying customer that never knows what she wants so I put all my trust in a professional like Julia. I continuously walked out of her studio salon feeling like a backup dancer for Beyonce. CT please appreciate her because she is a real artist. read more

Julia is great! I got a haircut by her today and she was super sweet and accommodating. She listened to what I had in mind, and made sure that the length was what I wanted, nothing more or less. She really took her time making sure that every part of my hair was perfect, which I definitely appreciated, because my hair is crazy long. I would definitely come back! read more
