Christian Fields Style Bar

Nice salon.

I always leave here feeling great!, thanks to my natural hair styling gene Chris Fields

I had my locs colored and styled last week… and my style still looks good. I have received so many compliments on my new color and style! The Style Bar has such a warm feeling, staff members are friendly and professional chic! I would have never selected the style Christian did for me, however I trusted him and it came out great! I highly recommend the Style Bar… you get what you pay for!

I will highly recommend this shop to anyone. Christian is very knowledge and his expertise of natural hair is top notch. I was blown away by the customer service the staff also provides.

I don’t often write Unilocal reviews, but I felt particularly strongly about writing one regarding my experience with Christian Fields Style Bar.
I’ve been trying, to no avail, to make an appointment for color for over a week. I just wanted information of whether or not I needed to give a deposit, or perhaps go through a consultation appointment, but I can’t even reach anyone to advise me. I have been told that I need to speak with one specific person who hasn’t returned my calls, and who has not called me back after leaving my information for her with reception. It’s one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had with a business in quite awhile. If I were on a tight timeline, I would have been completely out of luck.
Not sure if I’ll ever be able to truly weigh to verify the all of wonderfulness that people sing CF Style Bar’s praises for, but I will say this — they must be doing very well, as it doesn’t seem at all that they are interested in/​in need of new business.
Wish me luck on my journey to find a loc colorist! (I’ll apparently need it!)

This place is awesome. The customer service is on point. I have been here a few times and each time the experience is pleasurable. I have been getting my hair done at natural hair salons for years in multiple states, and this is definitely an experience I have never had before. There are plenty of staff members around, providng all types of hair services, and they all work together well.

I took my fiancée in for a surprise appointment. This was her first visit to a hair Salon in almost ten years! (She does her own hair usually and a great job too). The shop seems to specialize in locs but they also do natural hair styles and weaves.
When I called to set up the appointment for her, I was greeted with a friendly woman who walked me through setting up the appointment and the stylist.
When we arrived we were greeted with a lively but comfortable atmosphere. No stylist were upstairs at the time and we were directed down stairs. The shop looks well maintained both up and downstairs.
When we got downstairs we found out that the stylist who was suppose to do her hair was not there yet. However, all of the other stylist were friendly and one even went an extra step to contact the stylist and see where she was and when she would be there.
After the stylist arrived (kinda late due to some miscommunication on both the shop and my end) she was pleasant and very apologetic.
Although I did not stay, my fiancée said the experience was amazing and she would def come back. Michelle was the stylist she saw and I must say, she did an amazing job! I guess they just gained a new customer.

Excellent experience. My first visit was a loc start with Kerry who appeared to be very professional, neat and knowledgeable. He made the process a breeze. The clean cozy environment provided a lot of comfort for me as well. Also, the young lady who washed my hair, Ronnie, was extremely sweet and open for discussion. Her touch was GREAT. I felt a great sense of teamwork amongst these representatives. I truly admire that. Based on the interaction I shared with these 2 and the results I saw from the loc start, I WILL be returning once a month.

I moved to Chicago about a year ago and was in need of a salon. I was so use to my hair stylist in DC and was nervous to try anyone else. I asked around and was given two salons names and one of the names was: Christian Fields Salon. I went to the salon for a visit for the first time and spoke to a gentleman named Shaheed. He was very nice, polite, patient and answered all of my questions pertaining to my hair. I left feeling as though I would give them a try soon but was still hesitant. I went back to the salon a few months later and spoke to the owner, Christian Fields. Chris was very professional and was very knowledgeable about hair. I was impressed with his knowledge of hair from the start. He actually informed me that the last stylist that styled and maintained my locs had actually damaged them. I was shocked! I had been going to this stylist for over 5 years. He immediately explained to me how my hair was damaged, went through a step by step process of how he would rebuild and strengthen my hair back to my natural state. Almost one year later and I am still going to Chris for loc maintenance. Chris is the real deal! He has several hair licenses and certificates. He is God sent. Please try Christian Fields if you want healthy locs, fantastic styles, professional atmosphere, healthy meals and the Christian Fields experience. I have gotten so many compliments from strangers and have referred so many people to this salon. Please try them!

This is my favorite shop. They have vision and just overall good vibes and energy that lead to beyond amazing styles. They keep my hair healthy and as a result it’s growing like crazy. The styles are so amazing that people stop me in the streets all the time and ask me where I get my hair done. The décor of the shop is superb and there is a kitchen in the back.
Another great thing is that they are flexible. I tell Chris I have a job interview and what type of company and he comes up with the most beautiful but appropriate hair style for each interview.

My fiancée is getting ready for medical school, and wanted a place to maintain his locks and help them to start looking more «professional». Ive looked up maybe 10 different salons trying to find the perfect place for him to go. Our first time here was great other than his appointment being scheduled for 11 and not being seen until 12, we live in carol stream and after and hour trip waiting an hour to see a stylist is somewhat upsetting. Other than that we ate a great breakfast in the restaurant in the back, everybody is very professional, and the salon has a nice atmosphere. We’ll be back for sure.

I have been taking my daughter here off and on for around two years now. Candryce always has her looking beautiful when I pick her up. My son gets his hair cut there now and then. My children are young, 8 and 10, so I’m picky about where I take them. Barbershops especially can be rated X (tra). I always feel great about having my children in such a diverse setting. The people who work there and the patrons seem to be very positive. The salon is beautiful and clean. I love the kitchen idea, I’ve purchased food for my children there on occasion. As far as professionalism I’ve always been treated with respect and received great customer service from the front desk. I am about to transition out of relaxes hair and I can guarantee you I will go to Christian Fields to stay stylish while I transition. I am about to book another appointment right now!

I love this place and my new hair cut!
After my first big chop I was worried about styles but I’ve been here twice for a wash & style. Leaving with fabulous twist and coils in my natural hair. Thanks M. J, my stylist & friend !!!

They take good care of me here! Love the atmosphere, the stylists are really chill and the chef is good in the kitchen!

Go check out my boy Lorenzo. He cool peoples n he does a phenomenal wash n retwist. Shoutout to Byron for the style

My husband and I both have locs and Dustin is our stylist. My oldest daughter has natural hair and Candryce is her stylist. We all have different needs. My husband usually goes first thing is the morning in by 7am or 8am and he is back at work by 10am. I on the other hand, usually like my locs in intricate styles especially when I have formal events. I am very particular about my Bantu Knots. LOL !! Dustin does a great job and always gives me exactly what I want.
My daughter is in highschool and is still learning how to take care of her natural hair. Candryce does a wonderful job interacting with her and gives her fun vibrant styles.
All the stylist at the shop are well-​traned and function as a team.
The food in the café is excellent and made fresh daily.
I highly recommend Christian Fields Style Bar.
If you are on the fence about starting locs.
Take the leap an head over to 65^th and Cottage Grove.

It is often said not to mix business with pleasure. At Christian Fields natural hair salon the opposite philosophy is practiced. Christian Fields Style Bar believes in giving you the best Salon experience. Clients are treated like family at the Cottage Grove salon. Christian wanted to choose an ordinary neighborhood to do extraordinary things. By bringing a richness to the Cottage Grove neighborhood in entreprenuership and quality service, Christian has maintained a wonderful rapport within the Southside community as a hardworker and dedicated owner of Christian Fields Style Bar Salon.
Christian Fields is a cornucopia for new naturally intended folk, specializing in all styles of natural hair from locks, bantu knots, fades, tapers, strawsets, coils, relaxed styles and colors. The juicebar and style lounge is a nice space for lounging and grabbing a quick meal before your appointment.

My last review of the Christian Fields Style Bar was pretty rough because the customer service was so bad. But then… the owner, Christian Fields, caught wind of my wife’s experience and worked really hard to fix it. He offered to provide the services for free or pay for her to go somewhere else. This gesture proved to me that he does not support bad customer service and values his patrons. Which for me makes all of the difference. She went back and got the red carpet treatment and loved it. Mr. Fields you are all right with me :-)
Everyone makes mistakes… its all about how you fix them.

Okay okay I really like this salon :) So, Christian Fields called me at my office because he found out about the debaucle that happened last weekend. He made a special color for me and Larenzo gave me the most beautiful color oh my goodness. Nia washed my hair and curled it she was very sweet and funny. Christian Fields as an owner and Larenzo as a colorist are artists. Larenzo explained each step to me and literally painted the highlights and gradient color onto my hair LITERALLY.
I got five star treatment and I loved it.
I didn’t realize this but they also have a shop downstairs that sells shea butter and frangrance oil as well as a delicious smelling café of sorts on the main floor that sells made to order turkey burgers and jerk chicken.
I am fasting so I didn’t taste the chicken but it smelled wonderful. I did buy some shea butter and incense from downstairs and I they are wonderful.

Why have I waited so long to sing the praises of my stylist, the best locktician in Chicago? Shahid has been doing my hair for about 6 years, and he has clearly spoiled me because I have yet to find a salon home in Atlanta. Whenever I go home, he is one of the first people I see.
Positives:
1. PROFESSIONALISM: When you have a 2pm appointment with Shahid, you are in the shampoo bowl at 2pm. This is a man who knows how to respect your time! He works quickly and efficiently. Also, he is a gentleman. Shop talk is always positive, and he is never distracted. In all these years, never a personal call, drama, or even remotely inappropriate comment.
2. Skills and products: Organic, simple recipes: no mystery products.
3. Atmosphere: I’ve followed Shahid to a few locations, and Christian Fields is the best so far. It is clean, well lit, and spacious.
Only one negative: No parking.
