get the no-chip!

by jhibb at Citysearch

I got a cut and a no-chip mani here this weekend. Paul did my hair and although I felt like he did it a bit too quickly it turned out well and I'm satisfied with it. Lisa told me about the new no-chip manicures that she does and I sprung for that. I've only had it one day and it seems like a pretty neat product if it's as good as she says. Only time will tell. I'm not really used to paying $60 for a hair cut and $40 for a mani so I kind of doubt that I'll make this a regular spot until i get some sort of big raise in the future. If you're not worried about cost this seems to be a good salon that will take good care of you.

• Pros: no chip nail treatment is great
• Cons: price

I have been coming to Colin of London for 14 years and even though I live in DC, I still come here. Great cut and highlights I always get compliments for, and at a wonderful value. Plus you can't beat how wonderful the whole staff is -truly a treat to go!

Warm enviorment, you never want to leave

I've been coming here off and on for 20 years and I feel like family. Which is how Colin, Cleo and Lisa have taken care of me since day one. The sofa is the best place to be. 30 minutes there and I've forgotten all my worries. As for services Colin still cuts my hair. I have also had the hairs on my ears lasered off and 4 months later still no hair. It really works. See you there.

Love my hair

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

I was referred to Gabriella last year by a friend and have returning ever since. Her cut and colors are always consistant and she is very sweet. The atmosphere is upbeat and family-like. Sometimes it's hard to park so I would suggest public transportation.

horrible

by linz1982 at Citysearch

Hands down, the worst salon i have EVER been to. i swear that the guy who cut/colored my hair has NEVER done hair before. 1 hour to apply color, sat 45 minutes, 1 hour to COMB OUT HAIR and about 2 minutes to trim, pretty sure he had no clue how to cut hair. it was a horrible experience and i will never go back.

• Pros: near designer stores
• Cons: everything was horrible, not one good thing to say.

NEVER go here!!!!!

by linzgulley at Citysearch

I am glad to see several of you agree with me. This place is by far THE WORST SALON IN CHICAGO!!!! They think that just because their two blocks off of Mich Ave that they can just rip people off. Well it didnt work on me! My bf bought me the street package. The girl who did my hair was nice. I tipped her waaaaaay to much though! After I left the salon I realized I had a dark ring of dye stain on my scalp by my face that she tried to cover with bangs! Lazy! ... couldnt even finish the job. I was there for 4 hours or more, and got treated disrespectfully the entire time. The nail lady and the waxing lady did a half assed job. Then in the end, after paying $65 for the card that covers "everything" , they still tried to charge me an extra $230!!!!! I was really confused and just paid the money. Only to go back the next morning and demand my money back. This place is THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: NOTHING
• Cons: EVERYTHING

Horrible Service

by bobo526 at Citysearch

I bought the street package as well, which consisted of a hair visit and a nail visit. Both times the staff was rather rude, and acted as if I was imposing on them by showing up for my appointment. I was satisfied with my haircut, it was a young girl who cut and colored my hair, and she was nice and did a good job. The nail visit was terrible. Although my manicure turned out fine, the service was once again horrible. I was once again treated as they were doing me a favor by honoring my appointment. The staff was very rude and seemed to only care about the ritzy "regulars" whos appointments I seemed to be imposing on, based by the way I was shuffled from chair to chair, and they spent less than 15 mins on my manicure. NEVER AGAIN!

• Pros: Decent Skill
• Cons: Horrible customer service
