Orbit Salon

After doing a hairshow I went to LeAnn and she totally fixed my weird haircut and color and that's something really hard to do! She is just amazing, always listens to what I want in my haircut, and besides being awesome at cutting hair and coloring it, she is also the nicest person in the whole world! so it's always nice to go to the salon because it will always be a great experience with her!

I went to Orbit for the third time to try a stylist that was highly recommend because I could have been happier with the first 2 cuts so I thought hopefully third times a charm. Well, I find out AFTER I arrived my stylist wasn't coming in so the owner recommended Jeff. Honestly I was nervous because I thought why isn't he busy. He is newer to the salon but not to the biz and he gave me the absolute best hair cut I've had in years. He is great with short hair and knows how to texturize. A++++ Thanks Jeff!

Pros: modern, mellow atmosphere

Cons: street parking in Wrigleyville

Everyone is very friendly and personal. Not only does my stylist Shannon make me feel welcome every time I come back, but so do the receptionists and other stylists. I was a walk-in 5 years ago and have been a happy client since. Shannon is fun and friendly, does a great job with my crazy mop, and my hair looks great for weeks. I'm glad I found someone who takes their time, because my hair can be tricky.

Pros: fun, friendly, open on Sundays, reasonable prices

Cons: salon can be messy, watch out for parking during Cubs games

I've been going to Orbit for two years now. Binh my stylist does an amazing job with cut and coloring! Not only is he extremely talented with scissors and foils, he's very attentive. He always asks what your looking for and listens closely to make what you want happen. He's great company for those long highlight/cut appointments. He remembers everything we chatted about at the previous appointment and asks for updates the next time I see him. I never have to wait more than 3 or 4 days between the day I call and the day I want to make the appointment. There's no waiting two-three weeks for your stylist to finally have an opening. Definitely ask for Binh when you call Orbit to make an appointment. He won't let you down!

I love Shannon! She is sweet, takes time to find out what I do and don't want, is great with hi-lights, and is affordable. I'm glad I don't have to spend a lot of money for haircuts that I REALLY love. And my hair ALWAYS looks good, even after it's grown out. I love that she works evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Makes it easy with my schedule to still fit in a cut and highlight. A great find in Chicago, where there are so many salons, but not always filled with good stylists.

Pros: Salon is open 7 days a week. Great service. Friendly environment

Cons: Parking can be a hassle during cubs games, but, there are meters and a lot in the back.

Travis is my new BFF!!! In all seriousness, Travis does a WONDERFUL job! I agree with the previous post, this is the first time I have had a hair style that is hip, and that i love!!!! He is great with color AND CUT! He got it perfectly right the first time. I have curly hair and was nervous about going to someone who doesn't have curly hair, but he is amazing and knew exactly what my hair needed. Also, he is super fun and relaxed! If you are looking for someone who is very reasonably priced, very easy to talk to, and EXTREMELY talented, Travis is your man!!!

I recently went to Orbit for a haircut after having several unsatisfying cuts from my stylist of 5 years. I went in blindly, asking the receptionist who to use. He recommended Travis. With some hesitancy, I went to the salon, only to discover the best stylist I've ever had. Ladies, if you want a hip and amazing haircut for an affordable price, Travis is your man! I have long hair, which is usually hard to maintain and to look cool and hip. I fret no more. Travis has honestly given me the best haircuts I've ever had, and I'm sure he'd be able to do the same for any type of hair. I would recommend him highly. Aside from being incredibly talented, he is just a really nice guy, easy to make conversation with, and makes you feel right at home. I am so happy!

I happened to stumble upon orbit when i was trying to get my hair done last minute for an important event. Not only did I love the way my hair looked, but I went back a few weeks later to get it cut and could not have been happier! I have been going to heather ever since and have reccomended her to a couple other people who have been equally pleased...I couldnt imagine getting my hair cut by anyone else. Definatly try this place out!

I found my stylist Heather and colorist Megan at Orbit. I had been a client of theirs at a different salon and had to hunt them down. I finally found them!! They are both extremely talented and sooo nice. I got a hot short punky haircut and an amazing color my first time there. The salon is very hip and the staff is really nice. The prices are very affordable. If you are in need of amazing talented stylists go to Orbit. I walked out with a hot cut, great color, and got my make up done too. I was ready to party at all the great spots in Wrigleyville.

Pros: GREAT STYLISTS, AFFORDABLE, EXCELLENT LOCATION

Cons: parking
