Salon 833

Ok, so I am loyal to Corrinne for my highlights + cut, but I got a blowout with Becca last week and I just wanted to say she is amazing! she does this lovely hair massage during the wash and really knows how to style hair according to a persons frame. Highly recommend!

Lesley was my hair stylist and she did a great job! I followed her from salon Red 7. She listens to requests and does amazing haircuts. I highly recommend her!

I have seen Lisa for years and now I also seen Brittany and Corrinne. I have never been disappointed and I always leave happy! All three stylist listened to what I needed and I always look better than I thought I would! I recommend them to everyone and I appreciated the tips and the help that each stylist has given me.

I went to Salon 833 and saw stylist Brittany Jacobs. I’ve been seeing her for a couple years now and I can honestly say each time, she brings something new and I leave loving my hair even more than the time before. She’s so fun to talk to and she has incredible technique.
I always felt self conscious about my hair but Brittany has made my hair look so much healthier and smoother. my hair has never looked this good and I feel much more confident. Brittany actually listens to what you have to say and does what she genuinely thinks looks best for each individual person’s face. She takes her time doesn“t rush through. she actually wants to do her best. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s really good at styling and layering, and I love how she blow drys and curls my hair before nights out.
Salon 883 is a really warm and inviting atmosphere. I love it and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh new look!

If you want highlights done right, try out Becca. Well worth every penny. She is very meticulous and matched my highlights and lowlights to a «T.» She will also give you some good tips and offer suggestions (but not pushy advice). Looking forward to going back.

I found this salon through Gilt City and had purchased a deep conditioning and haircut. I had an appointment with Becca and she immediately made me feel right at ease. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to I gave her an idea of what I like and she made some suggestions of what I could do with my hair. She gave me an amazing haircut and something that I would have never picked on my own. She also styled my hair after and took the time to explain exactly what she was doing so that I could replicate it at home. Overall, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back.

Love this place! Easy to find parking. The salon pricing is a little on a high end but the staff is very competent and skilled when it comes to hair color and cut. I have been seeing Corrine! She is my fav hairstylist in Chicago

Originally, I had some concerns about my hair but the salon owner– Lisa, went ABOVE and beyond to take care of me and follow up about my experience. You can tell she truly loves her customers and does everything she can to make them leave happy. I would recommend going to Lisa 100%! Thanks for following up with me to make everything right.

Im unable to figure out how to remove my past review. But basically I complained about the prices of men’s haircuts. It was unfair of me, because this is more of a female salon. The owner sent a nice apologie and now I feel bad. I usually keep my hair short, and every 2 weeks I like a trim, so when I was told the price for a mens haircut it was a shock. Again this is a salon mainly for women and I should have known better.

I have never really treated myself to a salon nor have I had one person in charge of my hair maintenance (shameful I know. I’m the worst at keeping up with the routine so trims from hair cuttery have sufficed). But after recently moving to the city I knew I needed to have a regimen and do it right. I tried Salon 833 because it was walking distance and had raving reviews. And it lives up to all the hype.
Becca was my stylist and she’s wonderful! She’s laid back, she listens, gives good advice and doesn’t just tell me what I want to hear. For the first time, I felt like someone understood my hair concerns and what I do and don’t like. So often I’ve had stylists try to convince me I’d like my hair a certain way. Becca listened me and then worked wonders on my hair in the exact way I had hoped.
99% of the time I leave salons, I put my hair in a bun or pony tail immediately because I hate how it’s been styled or hate the «fresh cut» look. Becca did such a nice job blow drying and styling my hair — that for the first time I left with my hair down and even ran errands in public to show it off :) Such a great feeling! I will definitely be going back to see her soon to try the keratin treatments they offer as per her recommendation. She’s got my trust! So excited!

I really love this salon and Becca is fantastic. She is very creative with her color and cuts. I just went into change my haircolor and she was very helpful to guide me through the process on what she thought would look nice. And the results were amazing. She totally listened to my needs and I really love my hair and what she did was transforming. Can’t wait to book my next appointment with Becca.

This was my first time at Salon 833 and I LOVED it! The staff was so nice from the moment I walked in the door I felt pampered. When Becca came and got me she put my mind at ease instantly! I have had some serious new stylist «nightmares» so I was a little nervous, and honestly it turns out for no reason. Becca took her time understanding what I was looking to do for my color and cut, and explained every step of the process. The end result was beautiful, exactly what I wanted! I’ve officially found my new salon at Salon 833!!!

I’ve been on the hunt for a stylist since moving to Chicago in September 2013. All the other salons I have been to have been just okay. None of them warranted writing a Unilocal!review, either positive or negative.
Until now.
I chose Salon 833 because I just moved to the area and wanted a neighborhood salon. Considering I probably spend more time in salons than my home, I needed to find something close and comfortable.
I made an appointment online and promptly received a notification that Becca would be my stylist for a full highlight.
I am always skeptical of coloring my hair due to a really, really traumatizing bleach job about 5 years ago. But when I met Becca, I could tell she was a pro and she «gets it.» Within two minutes of meeting Becca, my mind was put to ease. She really looked at my hair and asked what I liked and didn’t like about my current situation. She definitely knows what she’s doing!
She also timed the foils JUST right. That is definitely an art. After she foiled the last piece of hair, they were ready to come off. (I love when I don’t have to sit there looking like an alien for a long time.)
The color came out great and she gave me a great blowout, too. Everything about my experience was delightful.
I am so excited to return to Salon 833! I have finally found a really great salon and stylist. I HIGHLY recommend Becca!

It was my friend time ever getting my hair colored, but the stylist, Tracy, made me feel like she was really trying to sell products which was annoying. She did a really good job putting me to ease and the color looked REALLY natural! The other part that was annoying was when I was done and ready to pay, they charged me more than they explained over the phone. They added a few things which was not explained to me as well as tried to sell me more products as I was leaving. If you’re getting a blow dry, ask them to decrease the amount of product they use… my hair was greasy on day 2, which is strange because i have the DRYEST hair!

I highly recommend Corinne! She was absolutely amazing. It was my first time there and she knew exactly what I wanted!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and Dana is AMAZING!!! I walk out every time looking like a million bucks… let me rephrase this… My HAIR comes out looking like a million bucks (I’ve had a few haggard times over there). Dana really takes the time to listen to what I’m looking for. Instead of just letting me run wild with celebrity pictures, she offers suggestions for a haircut that will look great with my face shape and hair type. I’ve had too many experiences with people giving me exactly what I want, but also having it look horrible. She’s seriously the best, her attention to detail always makes for an immaculate haircut.

I honestly feel bad leaving a review of 3 stars when they’re getting all 5’s but I figured I have to be honest here. I got the Gilt City for the highlights and blow out. I received the following confirmation email…
«Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start time of your first service to ensure proper time to check-​in. We regret that late arrivals will not receive an extension of scheduled service and the service will have to be rescheduled if 15 minutes late or longer.
I got to the salon 15 minutes early and no one asked me to anything besides give my name to check in. I then was sat down and asked to wait. They were pleasant enough at this point. Then my appointment time came… and went. I was approached telling me that it would be a few more minutes. Then almost 45 minutes after I got to the salon Bonnie and Tracy came over telling me that my stylist would be switching from Tracy to Bonnie because Tracy needed to finish someone up. Fine, but I watched Tracy the entirety of the time Bonnie did my hair and she was busy; I don’t think they had the slightest intention of putting me with her and/​or screwed up on the booking.
Bonnie was okay. She shot down my idea of getting lowlights, which was fine in the end but didn’t even say, «OK but let’s talk about options.» I got the partial highlight and would have to call it a bit streaky for my taste and not as well blended as I hoped. Overall, I do NOT hate my hair and that should be said.
I purchased this Gilt voucher to see if I could find a salon I liked to become a regular at. Given the above, I won’t be going back.

I have had the pleasure of working with the BEST stylist in Chicago over the past 6 years I have lived there. Caitlin Price is a master at her craft, and I would recommend her to anyone! I am *extremely* picky about my hair cuts and color, and Caitlin’s work is world-​class. She currently works at Salon 833 in Chicago, but I would have followed her anywhere. I recently moved to Ohio and know it will be extremely hard to find someone to fill her shoes. Thank you so much, Caitlin!!!

This place is beyond amazing! And Corrinne is definitely one of the best hair stylists that I ever worked with.
I bought the GiltCity deal for single color process, haircut and blow dry. Making an appointment was very easy. I called 3 days ahead and made an appointment for Saturday — easy breezy. When I arrived, someone greeted me right away and offered me coffee/​tea/​water etc. I soon realized this is a very chic saloon — bright, big, clean — you can name it.
Here is the amazing part: Corrinne did an 8 – 10 minutes consultation with me and asked if I have any preference and concerns. I have dark/​black hair with very big volume, naturally wavy and fuzzy hair, which is not that easy to take care of. Without having specific style/​color that I want to go for, I told Corrinne I just want a more «summer» color tone — maybe a lighter color and more layers. Corrinne offered me several options with the coloring — based on my dark hair, she recommended a highlight instead of single process. I am glad that they are very flexible with the GiltCity coupon and let me upgrade to highlight from single process. I let Corrinne pick the color for me and it turned out just fantastic! I was also very happy with the haircut — beautiful layers! Corrinne really understands my preference and concern and makes it work perfectly! I will definitely go back.
The best thing is not only me myself love my new look: Only a few hours after my new look, I was getting coffee and someone came up to me and told me my hair color looks amazing. Of course I told her to look up Salon 833 and Corrinne :)

So I’ve been coming religiously to Salon 833 and have been getting blowouts as well as color and cuts with Tracy. Love, love, love!
I always leave feeling great because my hair looks like a million bucks but also because of the friendly staff. Tracy and I always have the best conversations and she has such a great energy that it’s always a great experience for me.
The owner Lisa always greets me with a smile which I love… everyone here is just great. Great location, great products, great people and most importantly great hair!
