Chloe is a life saver! I found her on Instagram last year, and even though it's a trek to see her…read morein the suburbs without a car, I've come to realize that it's worth the effort. The first time I saw her, she spent the time to explain how to take care of my curls, style them, and refresh them on day 2+ (plus offer product suggestions). Her Ouidad cut is top-notch and really makes a difference in the way I was able to take care of my hair. I recently tried going elsewhere to save the trip to Lombard, and it was a disaster. But Chloe was understanding and able to work with me on a plan to get my hair back in its original shape while losing the least amount of length. Highly recommended for anyone who's felt the frustration of stylist after stylist who doesn't know how to cut curly hair. And if you live in the city, definitely worth the travel. (Walking distance from the Metra station!)

I came in the other day. I did not want to leave a review as the staff i met were beyond friendly…read morebut I went in for a trim expressed that I wanted no more than an inch off my hair as it had taken me years and years to grow out and it was at its longest length yet & I was inlove with it for the first time in my life... I just needed to cut some dead ends off. After she finishes up which it took her less than 10 min she turns me around to look at it and my heart drops. I went in with hair that was to the middle of my back, just wanted to get some dead ends snipped and left with shoulder length hair.. I look at the ground and see pieces of my hair that are 3-4 inches long. I didn't know what to do so I thanked her, paid, tipped well, got to my car and called my fiancé sobbing. I understand it is hair and it grows back but I've done so much to heal and grow my hair and get it to where it was at just for someone to chop it all off in less than 10 min. As a female it really messes with your self confidence. Like I said I didn't want to leave a review but every time I look in the mirror I just get so sad I miss my pretty hair and not only was it all chopped off but it was straight chopped off when I had layers and a nice V shape to the back of my hair and now I don't even recognize myself. The staff is very friendly and I believe they are knowledgeable on what they do, but when someone comes in for one thing and leaves with another because you were rushing.... that's just not okay.

However, when booking the services for our actual wedding, the experience with Carrie was awful. They wanted to charge me for the "south asian" package which included services I did not need (e.g. dupatta draping when I was going to be wearing a veil), airbrush makeup (which was not part of the trial at all, nor did I want). Despite multiple attempts to clarify that all I wanted was the simple makeup and hair package, Carrie would not budge - so I went with another company instead and 100% no regrets. They basically made it quite clear that because of my race - NOT the services I was requesting - they would be charging me more. Very disappointing. UPDATE: All I wanted was the platinum package, not the celebrity or the South Asian package. The platinum package covered the services I needed and the level of stylist I had my trial with. While a bargain is great, I'd never ever cheat someone to get it (especially if its someone's way of making a living - paying ppl for their work matters!) nor do I appreciate the implication that I would. Trying to bully a client into paying their hard earned money for services they don't want is a big red flag. Carrie's response speaks for itself - some companies are willing to do better but doesn't seem like this is one of those. Just know that's what your getting into and godspeed my friend

Emily cut my hair recently and I was very pleased with the cut and the service. I had one of those…read morebad hair days and scheduled an appointment that same afternoon. I came a few minutes early and was seen right away, with no wait. I asked Emily what she thought I should do with my hair and she said she really liked my current cut and suggested a trim, taking off a half-inch. I was pleased with her honest judgement: I had gotten a cut in Montreal a few months back and was very happy with the cut except it was overgrown. She trimmed it quickly yet skillfully, blow dried my coarse wavy hair into a flattering style and then trimmed and textured the ends so the cut lays well. Best of all, my hair looks great even when I don't heat-style it. Dried naturally, the waves are nicely layered and just seem to fall into place--a sign of a good cut. I've tried a lot of places in Elmhurst, but this is the first place where I've gotten a great cut at a reasonable price ($35 with first-time customer discount, not incl. tip). This isn't a cutting-edge, hyped up salon--it's a comfortable, relaxed place, mostly patronized by middle-aged moms like me (as far as I could tell from my weekday afternoon visit). No frills, easy-going, no blasting music, no product-pushing. Just a great cut and great service. I'll be back! Disclosure: I will receive a $20 discount (or 20%, I can't remember) for this review, but I'd give Emily and the salon five stars anyway!

Most available times seem to be during regular working hours which is hard for those with a 9-5. But would definitely recommend Fringe for a great hair appointment and relaxing spa experience. BONUS!
