Best Hair Color I've Ever Had!. I was given Linda's name as a superb person for hair color, and I went to my appointment at Blade yesterday. I went in with an unhealthy-looking drab shade of dark brown/red in my hair, and I wanted something brighter that would lighten up my look. Every salon I've gone to in the past has told me that they can't change my look because the color is too dark - and that they'd have to spend 5 to 6 hours lifting all the color from my hair, in order to then go in with a lighter shade.

Linda at Blade looked at my hair situation and came up with a winning solution that far exceeded my expectations. She absolutely transformed my look and gave me the hair I was dreaming of! I left with a lustrous warm brown plus super-cool swaths of ginger "ombre" lowlights.

As an aside, I asked Linda about fixing the bad haircut that I got elsewhere, and she had amazing ideas ranging from subtle changes to a whole new style. I booked a hair cut with her for a couple weeks from now.

Hands down. Linda is the best person I've ever gone to for color. She really knows what she's doing, uses high-quality products, and is the consumate artist and professional. I can't wait to see what she does with a cut!…

New Location...Same Great Hair!. I had to write an updated review after I went to see Linda for a "back to school" style change and once again she rocked it! My new copper locks and edgy pixie is just what I needed! I just let her go and once again I am totally thrilled with my new look.

The new salon locatin is great and love, love, love the new decor!…

Trust Linda with your hair. I've been going to Linda at Blade (and several of her previous salons) for about 10 years and am never disappointed. Linda is a creative professional and a genius with color. The cuts are always great and I leave the salon with fabulous hair. Blade is comfortable, immaculate and welcoming and is easy to get to by car or train. Highly recommended!…

Elgin is the best hair stylist in Chicago. Very comfortable but clean and artistic atmosphere. I am a straight guy and Elgin is the best hair dresser I've had and I have lived in many places. They are a reasonable price and are very flexible with ideas. Last time i went in I just let Elgin choose a look with a few specifications i said and i turn out wonderful. Check this place out its in a good neighborhood and request Elgin…

Linda's Blade is Fabulous!. I have been going to Linda for more years than I can count. Every time I walk out I feel fabulous, my color is amazing and the cut is great from the moment I leave until I get back there (but she always says "Well, just let me clean it up!). Over the years she has gently guided me in color and cut so I look contemporary and stylish. And it's not just that she is extremely competent. Blade is comfortable and all the staff is friendly and positive. I love going there.…

Linda at Blade is the Best!. I have gone to Linda for many years and would be lost without her now. She does the best color and cut. I like the fact that she changes the style from time to time to keep me in a current fashion. I never knew I could do so many different things with my hair. Her shop, Blade, is in a convenient Lakeview neighborhood and is always friendly and comfortable.…

Always Happy with my Hair!!!!!. I've been going to Linda at Blade for my cuts and color for a long time now, and I have always left Happy. The shop is fun and comfortable so, it is a good time getting your hair done there. Linda has a great personality and she is really, really good at what she does. I pretty much let Linda do her thing with little instruction on what I want and I am always very pleased with the results. I get many compliments on my hair since I've been going to Linda which, as we all know is very flattering. I highly recommend you go to Blade.…
