For girls with untamed curls and frizz

by micki5

I finally found someone who understands my hair - better than I do! Trish at SineQua Non was recommended to me by my daughter, of all people, which means you are never too old to learn.

Despite Chicago weather, the change of seasons, and business versus casual, Trish has helped me find a way to work my hair into my life. Finally....

Definitely Worth It

by ColleenC

My sister started going here a few years ago and had the greatest things to say. She sees Aimee, so when I was looking for a place to get my hair cut I made an appointment with her too. I can't say enough nice things about her. First off, the location is extremely easy to get to. The staff is always friendly and offer drinks or to take care of your jacket or anything you need. They always have good music playing and everyone is nice. Right away Aimee was friendly and interested in learning about me and making sure I got what I wanted. My first visit there I wasn't exactly sure of how I wanted my hair cut so Aimee was more than willing to help me figure it out. Every time I have been there I have been extremely pleased. Although I don't normally buy any of the products, they have a great assortment that is always fully stocked. The overall feel of the salon is very chill. You do have to book pretty far in advance because the stylists get filled up quickly. An extra bonus is if you're a DePaul student you get a discount. Also between hair cuts you get a free trim. I would definitely go there more if I didn't live in the suburbs and also the pricing is pretty high but at the end of the day it's worth it because I always leave happy and feel great with my new cut.

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Great Cuts, Nice Location, Good Music
• Cons: Pricey

Sine Qua Non's Best Asset

by jboots

I don't live in the area but I wish I did! I was recently in Chicago on business and stopped in after reading the reviews on CitySearch. Jennie is the only person I've found that has mastered both the cut and the color. I mentioned to her that I didn't see her name on the site and she informed me that she recently moved to Chicago so I thought I'd get the word out that Jennie is amazing! I live in Portland but I will make sure to find myself in Chicago next time I need to get my hair done. Nobody else is touching my hair again...I've already booked Jennie for my wedding!

Hip, young salon offering cuts, color and more slides into girly digs further up Lincoln.

In Short
Pink is the theme at this expanded Lakeview salon with its rose-colored floors and pink stencil designs lining the walls between ceiling-high mirrors. Trendy twentysomethings get their hair cut, colored and styled by even trendier stylists sporting funky cuts in all colors of the rainbow. Up front, neat rows of Aveda bottles line the shelves to keep up the primping at home.

Great Experience!!!

by jewels9900

After getting the haircut from hell at another salon, I came in to see Jamie to see if my hair could be helped. Immediately when I walked in the door, I loved the place. The staff person at the front desk was very friendly and offered my tea, water or coffee. Jamie is great to work with. She asked me a million questions about my hair and what I like and dislike. She really paid attnetion to what I told her .Even though I am stuck waiting for all these really bad layers to grow out, Jamie corrected my hair and made it look beautiful. And the best part it that it is easy for me to manage and I have no problems styling it myself.

• Pros: Great cut, friendly staff
• Cons: None!!

My favorite salon in the WHOLE city!

by mk721

I?ve always been nervous about highlights, since I have naturally dark hair. But Jamie has done a great job every time, giving me a natural look, with a little bit of a kick. She really listens to what you want, and has great suggestions. I am always getting compliments about my cut and color. The salon is very relaxed and reasonably priced, too ? all around a great experience!

Warm and trendy salon

by ssinnott

What a great experience I had here! I went in wanting something completely different from the nearly 3 feet of hair I've been sporting for so many years now, and I come out with a fabulous, chic new style. Natalie was very accomodating and really helped shape my vision of what I wanted my hair to look like. My style is so cute and fun- and the girls were very kind and helpful. Can't believe it only cost me $40- what a steal!

• Pros: friendly staff, great insight

Sonia is the best for blonde highlights!

by brooke_s_1218

Sonia did a wonderful job with my blonde highlights and cut last week. Being new to the area I needed a new hairstylist. I had a "not so great" experience at the last salon I went to here in Chicago, so I was a bit hesitant when arriving at this one. She made me feel very comfortable from the beginning of our appointment. She listened to what I wanted, corrected the problem with my color and I ended up with exactly the color of blonde I wanted. She is very down to earth, friendly and her prices are reasonable as well. If you re looking for someone who can cut and color (especially high maintenance blondes) try Sonia. She rocks!

• Pros: Sonia is the best for blonde highlights
• Cons:  none

Sonia is fabulous!

by rooneygirl

I was really impressed with SQN. The salon is small and not at all pretentious. I had no problems making an appointment and the entire staff was really friendly. I read positive things about Sonia and her knowledge of blond highlights. Sonia was one of the nicest, friendliest stylists I have ever met. She was easy to talk to and she really listened to what I wanted and did not try to impose her ideas on me. She took her time and my color looks fabulous. I had a wonderful expience and will definately return.

• Pros: Really friendly, down-to-earth staff.
• Cons: street parking
