Great Haircut an Color

by tgirl_223 at Citysearch

All I can say is THANK YOU LAURA!!!!! I am so incredibly pleased with my haircut. I have gone to several different hair salons, but with no luck finding an individual who would cut/color the way I want, or even close for that matter. I was so impressed with the way Laura had cut my sister's hair (the color is beautiful too) that I made the appointment two days later. It has been about two weeks now and everyday I wake up I look forward to the way I will be styling my hair that day. Laura took her time to help me find the perfect colors (I am extremely picky) and I cannot thank her ENOUGH for her fabulous sense of style, I found her to very focused. So many stylists spend theri time chit-chatting about their personal. lives. What I want is a great consultation and service, not a lot of chatter. WHAT A TALENT!!! I found my permanent hair dresser, and I am so excited and relieved! The Thickening spray is working out great. Thank you Laura keep up the amazing work!!!!

• Pros: Good Consultation and service
• Cons: be sure to park on the East side where the parking and entrance is

LIZ SAVED MY HAIR!

by MarieG at Citysearch

I have been going to LIz for about 8 or 9 years but recently I had started to lose some hair (menopause I think) and on a vacation my hair was lying flat on my head and in a moment of insanity I took scissors to it and "cut some layers"...after a 2 month odessy of trying to even it all out, I was almost there! It was looking pretty darn good but there were some pieces in the back I couldn't quite reach and I didn't want Liz to see it unless it was a bit more presentable. So I thought I'd go to someone else just to get it evened out a bit. I got a recommendation from a friend who told me that her guy was "fabulous". I made an appointment and explained to him that the general shape and length was perfect but I just wanted some of the back parts evened out a bit and he agreed telling me that he would have to do very little.

He proceeded to hack of INCHES of my hair ALL over my head leaving holes and talls and ridges! He blew it dry very very big - like Tina Turner (probalby to try to hide his hack job?).. I did't wrory too much because frankly everyone who styles my hair makes it too big for my taste! It cost me $40 plus tip (he was a VERY nice man and had spent a lot of time on the phone with me and at the salon so I felt I had to tip him and at that point I was still not totally aware of what he'd done). I went home to wet and restyle my hair as is my normal routine after a new cut...This time I had to wash it as well because he put some waxy stuff in it and it was awful.

To my horror I could not FIX it..the holes and tails and ridges prevailed...the next day my coworkers laughed at my hair cut! They tried to console me but I was inconsolable. I couldn't put it up or in a ponytail even!

In desperation I wrote an email to Liz after BEGGING the receptionist for her email address...I explained what had happened and begged her forgiveness for straying and pleading for her to fix me if she could! I was mortified.

Liz's response was wonderfully kind (just like Liz) and reassuring (just like Liz). She said I should make an appointment and come in so she could assess and hopefully repair the damage...she also told me to NEVER be embarrassed to talk to her or show her my hair.

I immediately called the salon and to my DELIGHT Liz had a cancellation the NEXT DAY!!! I jumped on the appointment telling my boss and co-workers I was taking 1/2 day off of work. I only had to live with the tail for one more day!

The next day Liz assessed the damage which was "not as bad" as she expected but she did concur that it was a dreadful haircut (some of the pieces looked like gears!).

She worked some kind of magic and the tail is gone as are most of the holes. I can't say I LIKE the cut because there are still some places that were NOT fixable and will just have to grow out and I'm not used to such short hair and I'm still learning how to work with it...BUT I'm convinced that Liz did the MOST with this disastrous cut that could possibly have been done. I can sleep again and at least make it look presentable...I've even gotten a couple of compliments on it.

I will never go anywhere again and I hope that Liz and Chicago Hair are around until I'm a bald old lady in a nursing home and don't need them anymore! (and since I'm almost 60 that's not going to be THAT much longer!)

Thank you Liz for your wonderful cuts, colors, and outstanding hair products (people always ask me how I get my hair so soft and I tell them I use Bumble and Bumble.

P.S. Liz's cut and style was only $15 more than the HACK JOB and worth a million bucks to me!

• Pros: QUALITY - KEEPS UP WITH LATEST TRENDS - EXCELLENT PRODUCTS
• Cons: Too far away-will you consider moving to Longmon?LOL

Great Haircut and Color

by AliciaAlo at Citysearch

I've been to Chicago Hair a few times. Finding a good hair salon is very important to a girl. Sometimes they have a stylist in training, charging 1/2 price. Palmer was the new stylist who did my hair. I was really comfortable after the consultation. Two weeks later ,I love my haircut and highlights. I think I have a new stylist at Chicago Hair, even at full price. Palmer, you are going to be really poular hairstylist!

Since this is the second time I've been very happy with a new stylist at Chicago Hair, I have to say that their training program must be good. Or the people they hire are good. Either way, the salon is worth checking out.

The Uptown Broadway neighborhood also has Restaurant 4580, Amante Coffee, and Organic Orbit.

• Pros: Friendly well trained staff
• Cons: None that I can think of

Best Hair Cut Ever Received

by comidamonster at Citysearch

I had the best time at Chicago Hair Salon. My hair dresser was Shauna and I will be going to her for a very long time. She worked around my schedule to get me in. She has done the best dye job I've ever received. (Usually I would have splotches of dye close to my scalp, and it didn't happen with her.) She was friendly, and it was like I was at home, hanging out with a friend. I don't care so much if the person is young, it is more important they give a great hair cut, which is what I received. I told her all the things I wanted and she exceeded my expectations. GREAT JOB!

• Pros: A great hair cut
• Cons: If I could afford it, I would go more often.

Overpriced

by MWestfeldt at Citysearch

I was a first time client at Chicago Hair because I couldn't get in with my usual salon. I was very disappointed when I left them, to say the least. Their prices are sky-high and the service is mediocre. The staff is very young (minus the 2 owners), yet their charges are equivalent to very experienced stylists. The receptionist they have was very short with me and was clearly just doing her routine job. The stylist I had was not very friendly and didn't bother to get to know me. I was content with the color, but shocked when they told me my total. Since I had one of their younger stylists, I was expecting a much lower price. I would not reccomend this salon to anyone, especially since Boulder is full of great salons with reasonable prices.

• Pros: They take walk-ins
• Cons: Price and customer sevice

Awesome Salon Experience

by amandaAlpha at Citysearch

I have an odd question that I hope the owner's can answer. Are you supposed to tip the stylist if the stylist is the owner?

• Pros: Super knowledgeable and friendly
• Cons: Wish I could afford to go more often

Best cut and color in Boulder

by Boulderpartygirl at Citysearch

After years of spending money trying to find a salon to get a great cut and color, I recently stumbled upon my new favorite place. On my first visit I was greeted by the receptionist and was able to see Shauna right away. Shauna gave me one of the best haircuts I have ever got in Boulder and the color came out even better. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who is tired of mediocre color and haircuts from other Boulder salons. Thanks Shauna and Ill be seeing you again soon!

• Pros: Great staff and color
• Cons: Hard to find

best haircut in years!

by custudent08 at Citysearch

After years of bad hair cuts from barber shops in Boulder I found Chicago Hair online. Most of the reviews were by women, but I felt very comfortable there as a man. Meredith cut my hair and did an excellent job. She was easy to communicate with, and seemed to know what kind of haircut would fit me well. This place is a little expensive, but you definitely get your money's worth in service.

My hair turned out wonderful.

by vryhppy at Citysearch

I think everyone knows the difficulty in finding a hairstylist that can follow through in giving you what you ask for. I made an appointment atr Chicago Hair for a color and a haircut, and not only did I receive what I asked for but she suggested a change in my color that I wasn't aware was possible. I have been a medium to dark brown color but wanted a change so Shauna gave me a rich brown with subtle highlights. This alteration uplifted my appearance and made a positive change for me. I am extremely satisfied with my entire appointment and will be sure to visit Chicago Hair again.

• Pros: Shauna gave me a wonderful color.

Great Place for a Hair Cut!

by MichelleM45 at Citysearch

Meredith is one of those great hair stylist every woman hopes to find: she can see what she wants to do with your hair before she ever picks up her scissors. The results, as a woman elsewhere in the salon said when Meredith finished taking my hair from mid-back length to above my chin, is "Fabulous." And the cut she gave me is VERY low maintenance--wash it, dry it part way, shape it a bit with fingers and a brush and it is good to go. Get windblown or mashed under a hat--no problem. I can bring it right back with the brush and fingers! Give yourself a treat. Have Meredith cut your hair--and, incidentally, she is also a great colorist.

• Pros: Talented staff, nice atmosphere
• Cons: A bit far out of the center, a little pricy perhaps
