I got the cut I have been asking for after trying 2 other shops. I am done looking! Parking is around the corner due to construction that will end in 11/2026. Great experience and I agree with other reviewers. read more

Absolutely amazing. My 13 year old wanted her hair highlights. I knew Armida would do a great job. My daughter showed her photos and explained what she wanted and what she did not want. It worked out great. Thank you for your patience, Armida! read more

I had such a great experience with Vanessa today! My haircut, bang trim, and blowout turned out amazing. She knew exactly what I wanted and made the appointment very enjoyable. Absolutely love my look! read more

Finding this salon and getting a last minute appointment was what saved me after another salon in the area cancelled on me at last minute. Armida was able to fit me in and took her time doing a great job at getting my extra dark post pregnancy hair lifted and toned to the right level. After moving to Chicago from Miami I thought it'd be impossible to find a great stylist that could offer clean work without frying my hair off and asking for a kidney. This little hidden gem fixed me right up and delivered a nice lift, tone, cute cut and smooth blowout in a short amount of time. I'll be back! read more

I love Venus Hair Studio. I have been coming here for 7 years. Today Armida gave my 10 year-old daughter the cutest pixie cut. Armida listens to her clients and is very efficient. I have referred my Sister and my Mom to Venus and they were very pleased with their haircuts, too. read more

Been getting cuts here for a little while. Very affordable (~$20 for a man's cut) and quick. In an out in 20-30.

My haircuts are always great and the recent highlights came out beautiful. I am very happy with Armida's work.

Armida does my haircut every three months. I love the price and her kind affect. Sometimes she even brings in her little puppy, Lola, which is so cute. She does a good job with my hair and listens well. read more

I sent my son (home from college for the holidays) to Armida as he was long overdue for a haircut. Armida did an amazing job cleaning up his style and incorporating the tweaks he requested. She's the epitome of professionalism and wonderfully patient! We're so fortunate to have her in Oak Park!" read more

First time customer and will definitely be back! Super nice, professional, and attention to detail. Very satisfied with my highlights and haircut. Great location too! read more

Armida definitely did an amazing job with my hair. Although I wanted to have lighter brown color, it was impossible cause i had a very long dark roots and copper red ends. But Armida still managed to go above and beyond my expectation. She is a professional! Highly recommended read more

Armida is quite knowledgeable. I had some fun colors added to my hair and she told me how to keep them in (no hot water) and they are still in after 2 months. She is my new stylist for everything! read more

Started getting my haircut here over a year ago and haven't looked back since. Armida does a great job every time, highly recommend this place! read more

Outstanding. Clearly the best salon in Oak Park-I tried several of the "paul Mitchell" clan and they were far below the quality of Venus. Product line also excellent. Service impeccable. So far the best blowout ever and knows curly/wavy hair perfectly! read more

Very happy with my experience here at Venus. Best haircut I've had in years. Armida is very personable and knows what she is doing with the scissors. Thank you so much, I will be a returning customer read more

This was my first visit to this Salon. I arrived there with my stepdaughter. We both where going to have our hair done. We were greeted by to lovely Ladies. My stepdaughter hair looked so amazing. I had hair dyed medium Arbun with golden orange highlights. And I also had it styled I was so happy with my new look. I definitely will make Venus hair salon my definite place. Thank you ladies for your amazing, professional job. read more

Venus Hair Studio - I love my new cut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I have been getting my hair done here for 7 or 8 years, the longest I have ever stayed with one hairdresser. Armida, the owner, is an excellent hair stylest and a pleasure to spend time with because she is sincere and intelligent and very supportive. She oversees the other stylists to make sure they are working up to her high standards. Good vibrations all around at Venus Hair Studio. read more

Lena fit me in last minute during a terrible rain storm this week! Gave me the perfect cut- exactly like the photo I showed her- and I was in and out in 35 minutes for an excellent price, $25 less than what I typically pay at a nearby salon. Then Armida offered me an umbrella that she says she keeps just for customers to use if they get caught in a storm. How thoughtful! My two teens and my husband have come to Armida for years but I stubbornly stayed at the other salon. No more! I'll be coming to Lena and Armida at Venus from now on! Be sure to bring check or cash as they don't accept credit cards or debit. They said I could bring the cash tomorrow as it was raining and late. I was able to run to the bank a block away, but it was kind of them to offer to let me settle the bill the next day. read more

The absolute best!! I love how my highlights and cut turned out! Highly recommend! Her prices are also great.

I've been always getting my haircut at her place for over 7 years. She never disappoints me ever. The owner is soooo nice and understands so well what I am interested in doing hair. I recommend her alotttt!!! read more

Very nice service, Armida and Monica are really nice people I always have a good experience with them Loved the color hair Monica did for me. read more

Armida (and everyone who works for her!) is amazing. Our whole family has been going to her since she had a salon in Brookfield many moons ago. She is the most kind and gracious person, and she gives an amazing haircut, especially for me with thick wavy hair, I love the way she takes some of the weight out and makes it feel light, bouncy, and beautiful! Even when I don't live in the area I wait until I'm around to see her. You leave feeling like a million bucks! read more

Wow! Armida and Monica did a FABulous job on my first hairstyle in over a year (I moved here during Covid and waited for vaccine) . Armida did highlights and Monica did cut and blow dry. They did superb job , I feel like a million bucks. read more

I've had highlights, color touch up and haircuts several times now. Armida has done an excellent job each time and I am extremely pleased. I had gone to one of the more expensive salons in OP for years but become a bit underwhelmed by the continued high prices and moderate service level. I highly recommend her services. read more

This hair salon is absolutely the best. The hair stylists and owner are amazingly talented, friendly, accommodating and make you feel as if you are part of a family and visiting them at home I have always been happy with the services and get lots of compliments on my hair. With all that said, their prices are very reasonable. I have been a customer at this fabulous salon for 7 years. read more

The best haircut, at such an affordable price. She really is a beautician magician. I almost don't even have to suggest anything. She is intuitive and kind. Please give this salon a try! read more

A very good haircut and blow dry, made to order. Reasonably priced with a neighborhood feel. I'll come again.

I've been coming here for years to have my hair cut, and I can't recommend anyone else more. The owner is warm and friendly and does a fantastic job. Being androgynous in a hair salon can be tricky, typically stylists ask a million questions and give me the "but you'd look so much prettier with long hair!" All of the stylists at Venus make me feel so comfortable and confident. The service is meticulous and efficient, all good things. read more

I am so thankful I found this salon several years ago. Once again, I had excellent and professional service. They are experts here and after my new highlights and color today, I have already received two compliments from a woman in target and the owner of a nail salon! Very reasonable prices as well! Especially compared to other places in Oak Park. You will walk out with a wonderful hair cut/style, and color. read more

To preface, I first came upon Venus Hair Studio after calling countless local salons to schedule a corrective consultation. Venus Hair Studio was able to not only see me, but fit in the 2-3 hour long process that would ensue, that too on a busy weekend. I was seen shortly after arrival and we thoroughly discussed what my corrective options would be (one even color vs toner vs balayage, etc). Armida and Lena were so incredibly sweet, understanding, informative and non judgmental of my diy-gone-awry (see images). They looked through examples of images that I had, and really broke down how feasible it would be with my hair type, current color, etc. Throughout the process, I was made to feel very comfortable with every step, they really listened. That was key. The result... EXACTLY. Really. Exactly what I wanted. Dare I say it, it kicked my inspirational pictures butt! They're prices are incredible! I was expecting to hear around $300 for one session, based on comparing prices in the area. However, for my really long, recently bleached orangey hair- I paid approx $130 (not including tip) for dark brown/black at roots with balayage including wash, tone, dry, and style. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! You won't be disappointed :) read more

We've moved a lot, and the worst part is finding new doctors, new dentist, and new hairstylists! Luckily I stumbled across Armida just after we got here a year or so ago, and I am thrilled. I get a fabulous color and a beautiful precision short cut every month or so, for a very reasonable price. This is the best haircolor I've ever had-- it stays fresh looking the whole time. I generally call the day or two before I want to go in, and can get an appointment. Armida is fun to talk to, and her shop is very cozy and comfortable. Bonus for me is I can walk there, but there's ample parking on the street, as well as a lot off the alley. I highly recommend Venus. read more

Armida is an artist. I have thin hair and a lot of it, which often means I can't keep a short, straight length style very long before it starts looking bushy. Armida has helped me keep this style for a couple years now. Also, I enjoy my highlights and the coloring is perfect. On Saturdays, Armida has other beauticians work with her. I have had my hair done by another beautician at her salon and I was just as pleased. I believe this means that Armida selects good talent and you are in good hands at Venus Salon on any day. I will be going to Venus Salon for a long time. read more

My girlfriend and I go here have been for years. I Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. We have referred many friends here and all are super happy and keep going back. Armida is very friendly and is an amazing stylist. You tell her what you want and you get it. She will also give her expert advice to correct things with the style you tell her you want, so you get a better look thank you thought you would have. Give Venus a shot promise you wont regret it. read more

Great cut, great prices, and great service! Armida is so sweet and highly skilled. The salon is open long hours and into the evening which makes scheduling easy. Highly recommend! read more

Very friendly neighborhood salon! I was visiting Chicago area and just really needed my bangs trimmed. After having brunch in this neighborhood with a friend, I found this salon close by on yelp and decided to give it a shot. The hair lady was really nice and friendly - she's the only one working in the salon and there are customers back to back! She was able to squeeze me in after a twenty minute wait and did a great job layering my bangs. read more
