Salon 87 in Chicago, IL

I had the worst hair experience in my life at this salon. I arrived at 2 pm and was told in advance three services (cut, color highlight/foil and keratin) would be done by 5 pm. It was important to be done by then because a family member was in from DC and only comes once a year so there was a dinner in his honor. Color was so bad. I cried when I saw it. There were streaks of blue and orange. She was supposed to touch up my grey and follow my natural hair so it wasn't hard to do. After admitting how bad it was (I had my fiancé come to see it), the hair stylist tried to fix it and that didn't make it any better - streaks of grey, pinkish, brown and even the blonde is now orangish and not my natural looking hair. She didn't finish until 730 pm and I didn't even get to the keratin and cut which I would no longer have trusted her to do. She still charged me over $100. She told me it looks really beautiful. I am shocked at the entire experience. My hair looks like my teen daughter colored it. And I missed seeing my family member.

After going to many salons, I have found Eva the owner of Salon87(previously L&E)to do the best blond highlights in Chicago for the best price around! Also she is very sweet and makes you feel very comfortable. Every time I go back to get touched up, Eva is very talented at finding the exact same pieces of hair that she worked on before and adds on to them, I don't know how she does it! She is very artistic and articulate, I've been a loyal customer of hers for many years now, I always leave very satisfied and happy!

I was so dissapointed. I can't even begin to tell you the feeling of wasted time. I go in I loved the highlights but I hated that half my head was orange. My left side was showing orange as the girl added highlights very late into my lighting. I specifically said I dont want the orange looking hair. Ok we will fix it... I had walked out with a full head of orange hair. I was so annoyed and embarrassed to even go out.... I went right back in and they corrected the hair, I cried... I really enjoyed my highlights the light hair was fun for me, I just couldn't stand the orange spots. My hair is so dark now and yes you can see some highlights. My scalp is killing me and I am sure my hair will feel like hay for the next few months. I'm sad.. but I am glad it's not orange. Overall I like them. I'm just a bit frustrated. I didn't buy the discount because I want them to be successful.

Excellent for kids haircuts too! Eva is hard working and uses great products. Just make sure to call before you go in to ensure the salon is open

I had been with the same salon/stylist for over 5 years and truly loved loved my stylist! However, I decided to get smart with my money, recently and no longer wanted to pay $300 (plus) bucks, every 4-5 months for my hair, upkeep. I have long hair... my typical 3-5 month service includes: highlights, low lights, gray coverage and a trim. I searched online for something a bit more affordable and found Eva. I called her and we set up an appointment. Upon meeting, I was a bit taken a back as the shop is a bit run down and family members are hanging around, inside the salon, playing on phones and U tube. It was just new to me, that's all. Not what I've been used to. Her daughter is lovely and so very friendly... we chatted and laughed together. : ) A real cutie. Not going to lie... If i schedule a salon visit, I'm expecting things to be perfect, from check in, to exit. This is not a boujee salon. Do not expect that. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT, HOWEVER: A Stylist who, KNOWS HAIR. A Stylist who, listens to your requests. A Stylist who, honors what you're looking for. A Stylist who, charges fair pricing. I do believe I have found my new salon, as long as pricing remains the same. It's a breath of fresh air, here. You will not be offered Prosecco, wine or any other malt beverage, upon check in or during your appointment. However, You ALSO will not be paying $95.00 for a HAIR TRIM. Eva is a real GEM and I am so very happy to of found her. Saving me some money, and still getting my beautiful hair. SEE YOU SOON, EVA. : )
