Salon 833 Chicago in Chicago, IL

The staff is very friendly, but, even after showing several photos and verbally explaining what I wanted, they ignored my statement for layering and also CUT OVER TWO INCHES SHORTER than I said to. It's like they freestyled and completely ignored the entire conversation we had about what I actually wanted. I asked for layers and framing around my face and hair that landed at my collarbone (and at the shoulder when curled and dry). NONE OF WHAT I ASKED FOR HAPPENED. I left with a typical bob cut, no layers and curtain bangs. To make things worse, my chair was turned sideways to the mirror when they were cutting so I couldn't even see what was happening to stop them. Respect wasn't given to customer desires. Now, I've got a CUT I DESPISE that will take months to grow out and am out $80+.

Amazing salon, great customer service, and I love my haircut. Stopped in seeking a new stylist. Met the owner and booked an appointment asap. Had a great experience and love my hair. Felt confident after an extensive consultation that my needs would be met. Glad I stopped by. Owner is a boss lady that gets it right!

After doing EXTENSIVE research on all installation methods, brands of hair, salons, and stylists I decided I wanted to go to Salon 833 and have a consultation with Giselle for the hand tied beaded weft method. AIt was my first time with extensions, but I had a go big or go home mentality as I didn't want to spend a lot of money to get something I only sort of wanted. My hair was barely scraping the edge of my shoulders and I wanted 20 inches of luscious, flowing tresses. Just a heads up, while my hair was short, my previous cut had been done with a straight razor which left me with a lot of layers that were key in terms of blending. If I had a straight bob at that length and she needed to layer it I would have needed to go shorter. Giselle is a genius, but she's not a magician. Obviously. Anyways, she said it was going to be a lot of hair and a lot of rows (5). For me, that was going to mean diligent brushing, learning how to style it, and a significant investment in quality hair products. I told I was game and promised not to let her down! She gave me a quote, and after a couple of deep breaths I gave the final okay and paid my 50% deposit. I had an appointment the next day to color match my hair to the extensions, and my installation was set for two weeks from then. I believe I got lucky with my appointment timing because she had a cancellation. She's pretty in demand so.. your timing might be different. Installation was super simple. It took three hours and poof! I was transformed into my sexy Russian spy alter ego! Seriously, I have never felt hotter. We cut straight bangs with it and it's really chefs kiss. Giselle is phenomenal, and the entire experience at salon 833 was wonderful. From the moment I walked in, the gentleman at the front desks was charming and witty in a way that just makes it feel nice to be in his presence. Bottom line, if you want extensions in Chicago- go there and see Giselle.

I've been going here for the past 2.5 years since I moved to Chicago. I only get hair cuts but Brittany is my go to and she is amazing! She is always honest and tells me what would look best and she really cuts my hair beautifully. I have a ton of layers and hair and I love the way she cuts it every time. Highly recommend!

I previously had been getting my hair done at a different salon but after going repeatedly It seemed like I was getting further from my inspo pic that was until I found Jocelyn at Salon 833, she truly cares about getting to your dream hair while maintaining your hair healthy. She is super honest and made my dream hair become a reality, it took a couple sessions but I didn't mind because she kept the integrity of my hair while doing. Amazing! And if you want anyone for blonde colouring or colouring in general I recommend Jocelyn 100%
