Tirra Salon and Spa

07/24/2008 Posted by SoooLucky

Tirra Salon is polished and professional without being snooty or pretentious. The staff knows their stuff! Roy ROCKS! He delivers an expert cut and finish each and every time! Before my cut, I'm invisible. When I walk out the front door of Tirra, HEADS TURN! He takes his time...never rushes. I highly recommend Tirra and especially Roy!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: nada

I found Tirra through Citysearch because I was looking for someplace I could go on my lunch break, so it was my first time there. I had a haircut with Melissa. She was very nice in taking the time to listen and she was very responsive to what I told her I wanted. After reading the reviews that complained about rude service from the reception staff I was apprehensive but I did not have that experience. The girl who checked me out even came out and turned the cab light on for me so I could get a quick cab back to work. All in all it was a really good experience, I thought she gave me a great cut and I will definitely go back.

Pros: Stylist - Melissa

Cons: Location is a little off the beaten path

Staci gives marvellous haircuts to both men and women, and her use of color is phenomenal. She is delightful to talk to, highly professional, and really good at what she does. I recommend her most highly.

I recently visited Chicago and found Tirra Salon. I enjoyed each of the services, the facial was very relaxing and I got the best haircut. The staff was very friendly and professional. As soon as I walked in the environment was very welcoming and the front desk was very helpful.

Pros: friendly staff

I have visited this salon many times in the past but recently I was shocked by the rude front desk. I was warned that the ladies were short and sometimes caddy but until I saw it for myself I did not believe the rumors. I heard employees speaking rudely about the customers and I will never go there again because of the things I heard them say.

Pros: Aveda Salon

Cons: Rude staff

Sorry to have to be negative, but Tirra was a disappointing experience for me. I had gone there based on a NYC Aveda recommendation and the Citysearch reviews, so I need to be honest for future Citysearch readers. First off, the place was extremely busy and that is a good thing, but when there is a sense of false caring to get you in and out then that good thing turns bad. Any other Aveda experience I have ever had (and I have had many) was relaxing...here, not the case. Both the shampoo and my haircut simply felt as if attempts to get me in and out...both with a sense of fake sincerity at satisfying me. I had my hair cut by Astrid...who is often raved about in Cityserach...but compared to the Aveda cuts I normally get her cutting work was dated...and showed none of the creativity that Aveda is know for. She works fast and furious...and I think, perhaps, her many years as a haircutter have left her skills robotic. I felt as if I was getting the kind of cut I got back in my teens in the neighborhood salon before newer techniques and salon settings became all the rage. Truthfully, my new haircut cut looks like a helmet or a suburban housewife's idea of style! It shows no life whatsoever...it just hangs limp and unpolished. In fact, it looks as if I am due for a haircut and not like i just had one! Quite honestly, I'm going for a fix up haircut today. Sorry Tirra...if my experience was great I would have written about that too...unfortunately, the best part of my visit was the friendly and helpful girls at the reception desk!

Pros: Friendly and helpful reception desk employees.

Cons: Non-relaxing service untypical of what an Aveda salon experience should be.

Really love this place. They have something for everyone there. I had a haircut from Astrid. I walked in there with my hair all frazzled and she was able to eye ball it and suggest what would look good on me. I went with her suggestion and am really happy with my new hairdo. She is very knowledgeable and well worth the price of the haircut.

Pros: Excellent service and knowlegeable staff

Cons: A bit out of the way
