I recently went to trio salon after reading good things about it on citysearch, I was very happy to see that I was not mislead. I saw Iwen for color and Ashley for a cut. Iwen listened to what I said very carefully and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Ashley turned my mop of hair into something very stylish that is easy for me to do on my own. Both girls were extremely sweet and friendly. Also Im not sure what the girls name iswho works at the front desk but she was the nicest girl, and very helpful when I spoke with her on the phone. Thankyou Iwen and Ashley, I will be a loyal client!

Pros: color and cut

Cons: parking

This is the only review I have ever written on Citysearch but I just had to write about Trio and my stylist Jerri and my colorist Diana. I moved to Chicago from out of state 7 years ago and spent the first 4 1/2 years trying every salon I could find for a consistently good cut and color. I tried all of the big name salons and a few smaller ones. The problem I always ran into was that you may get one or two quality hair cuts and then it would go down from there, it was like the person would flake out on you or just wasn't trying anymore. Or the color would be great the first time and then it would be a disaster. I have finally found a wonderful stylist and colorist who are consistently wonderful to work with. I always leave the salon feeling great and loving my hair. They are open to any and all suggestions and really listen and answer all questions. I joke with them that if they ever move I am going to have to track them down and follow them. Jerri even did my hair for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier...she really helped to take the stress off throughout that day.

I went to Chris back in October for a graduated bob. He is awesome! He was superfriendly, very attentive, and very detail oriented. He was obviously concerned with not only improving his own skills, but also making sure that I liked what the end product was. He's got a lot of passion for his work, loves what he does, and it shows in his customer service, his desire for perfection, and his eye for a beautiful haircut/style! Highly, highly recommend him! He's in the training program at the Wicker Park Trio, which, incidentally, is a lovely salon.

I am 24 years old and have had my fair share of haircuts at high end salons in both Chicago and Boston. Up until I found Aaron at Trio Salon, I was never happy with my haircut. Most high end salons boast the professionals that work there as the best in town; however Aaron at Trio is the first hair stylist that not only made me feel like I was getting what I paid for, but actually impressed me with his abilities. I have had everything from a simple layer to the trendy bangs and bob look, and have always left feeling more attractive than when I came in. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to commit to a serious hair stylist who knows what he is doing. He will deliver!!!

I also heard about Farrah and the stylist training program from a friend and I went to her and LOVED her. She was a great stylist and a pleasure to be around - which is sometimes not the case at top salons. Farrah has graduated from the program now and I loved her so much, I'm still going back to her for my next cut! Even though the deal isn't quite as great as when she was a trainee, its worth it.

Pros: Farrah!

After MANY visits to other "supposedly" high end salons, I was recommended to Trio by a co-worker. I loved the atmosphere of the Wicker Park location. I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist, and had the best shampoo of my life!!! Ashley did an AMAZING job on my cut. My hair is troublesome, and I have never found someone that could cut or style it w/ such precision. My hair looked fantastic when I left the salon, and continued to look fantastic for 8 weeks! I will definitely be a very loyal client to Ashley, she was great, and not to mention one of the sweetest people I have ever met...Thanks Ashley for listening, advising, and executing!!! I've never felt better.

Pros: friendly, upbeat, welcoming

Cons: none!!!

I've been to Trio Several times over the last year and have had nothing but the best experiences. I've seen aaron for haircuts and he's extremely talented and always professional. Alex the owner works there on Fridays and is incredibly welcoming and personal, there's nothing pretensious about this place. Regardless of minor inconviences like running out of hot water, I've had worse experiences at other salons in the city- I'm recommending it because I've never had better haircuts anywhere else. Try aaron, you won't regret it

I am in love with my hair color! I moved to the city 2 yrs ago and was in need of a touch up. I took a friend's recommendation and went to thins high end salon to get highlights. Unfortunately I left the salon with white, chunky bands and on top of that my hair was so damaged it was flying away as it was being dried. I discovered Trio as I was walking down North Ave. not long after, so I went in for a consultation with Ewen and I have stuck with her since. Ewen is the best colorist I have had so far. She really listened to my complaints and made suggestions. She is very patient, which I appreciate because I like to ask A LOT of questions all the time, and she always listens to my problems( I have alot of those to.) Nevertheless she fixed my do and gave me a treatment which stopped my hair from breaking. As long as I stay in Chicago I will keep going back to Trio. I have found a wonderful colorist and a friend!

Pros: beautiful color, friendly staff, not snooty at all

Cons: strange set up, florescent lights

So I have been to about 10 or so salons in the chicago area. and have NEVER left feeling like I got what I paid for...until now. I am super excited that I found Trio Salon on citysearch. I decided to try them after seeing their video and the coupon, I figured I had nothing to lose. The only stylist available the day that I wanted to go in was a newbie. She just started working on the floor. I was a bit nervous about having a newbie work on my hair but to be honest with you, it was the best color I have gotten since moving to chicago. I was very surprised that my stylist was able to do what others in the city with more experience hasn't been able to do. Cate was awesome and I am definitely going to go back. I felt like she really listened to me and did exactly what I had asked for. I left feeling great. Best part, they didn't charge me to blowdry my hair like the last salon I went to. I would highly recommend going to Trio. If you want to give a newbie a chance Cate is aweomse, however there are other stylists there that looked like they were pretty good to - either way I would say if you are looking for a great salon, trio is it! Oh and the receptionist was one of the most friendliest people I have ever been greeted by. Im not sure what her name was but she really made me feel comfortable.

Pros: Friendly receptionist, great color

Cons: they only do hair, nothing else. Gotta go somewhere else for a wax

When my stylist, Rosa, recommended I see Jessica for color, I was skeptical. I had been doing my own for many years, and the results were adequate. Having had some very bad experiences in the past with color done in salons, I was, well, gun shy. But I trust Rosa completely, so I went ahead and took a chance. It turned out to be one of the best chances I've ever taken. Jessica is a terrific colorist. She has a great eye for color and is very skilled at seeing the possibilities and carrying them through. And she has a wealth of knowledge (that belies her youth) about hair and how products will work with various natural colors and textures. I have no doubt that she will achieve the best results for you. She has utterly transformed my blah and spotty hair color into just the vibrant and stunning color I really wanted all along. Since I've been privileged to have Jessica as my colorist, I get compliments everywhere I go on the color of my hair. Being her client has completely transformed how I feel about having this work done in a salon. Book her now -- because she is going to rapidly become the most sought after colorist at Trio!
