Supercuts

Upon entering the stylist did not introduce herself. She just asked what kind of haircut I wanted. I showed her several photos of haircuts. Which was many layers and face framing layers (I have very long hair). When she was done, it looked like she just took a bowl and cut around my top layer. My hair was all one length and now, I have just have two layers; one layer that ends at my ears and the other the goes down my back. My hair looks horrible and I am in tears. The towel service they promise was not provided either. Overall, unsatisfactory. I will never entrust my best feature with a Supercut. It was my fault for thinking I could get a decent haircut for $ 16.95. I literally got what I paid for. #lifelessons
If you wish to look nice and end with a suitable haircut, do not go here. It is better to go to an Asha type salon and get a haircut done correctly. It is worth paying the money.

Reading some of the reviews I was scared to get my haircut here. But I was desperate and out of time so I walked in after work today and got my hair cut by Maria. She was quiet (which I prefer) but did a god job and was quick about it. It’s not the best haircut I’ve ever had, but it’s certainly not the worst either, especially for the money.

I walked in with 50mins to kill before my train arrives to see 1 stylist, with 1 client. Following the directions, I write my name on the waiting list (I’m the first of the names not already crossed off) and take a seat. I’m patiently waiting about 10mins, before a second customer walks in, writes his name BENEATH my name, and sits down. 5 minutes later, the one stylist looks up to see two waiting customers, walks to the back and grabs her co-​worker. The working stylist comes to the front, tells us her co-​worker will «just be a second», and goes back to her client. 5 more minutes, a red-​headed woman appears from the back, grabs the sign-​in sheet, and calls the guy who arrived AFTER me. The stylist can tell that I’m clearly annoyed, and then asks me what my name is, looks at the sheet a second time, REALIZES her mistake, AND STILL takes the guy who arrived after me. Not even a ‘Sorry’. At that point I left, and instead of getting a haircut, I’m currently writing this review, waiting for my train. I will NEVER give business to ANY SUPERCUTS, and I’ll make it my mission to tell all my co-​workers (I work in the building) how unprofessional it is. Thanks for nothing. (FYI. I usually tip 50% during the holidays). Cheers.

I went in for a haircut and put my name down. I was first on the list. After 35 min and 5 other customers later, I left as my name had to be called. The icing on the cake was during that entire 35 min, one stylist «cut» the same man’s hair the entire time. I put «cut» in quotations as she spent 70% talking and 30% cutting by taking such a small cut each time. Overall, horrible experience and I will never return.

Started coming here a few months ago. Haven’t had a bad cut yet. Then again my hair is really short, pretty much a high and tight.
Love the online sign up process. Super convenient.

I don’t know how much there is to say about supercuts in general, but I was happy with this location. The staff were polite, I got a haircut in about 15 minutes with no wait (reserved online in the morning), and they seem pretty busy and clean.
Apparently this is the first time I’ve seen them give me a hot towel to wipe off my face from the haircut though, which is a nice plus.
Really, does anyone ever have a giant story from getting a haircut if a: you’re a man who doesn’t know much about hairstyle or b: nothing horrific happened? I’d imagine not.

I was a loyal customer for three years. My stylist, Ivonne, is great and deserves a five-​star rating on her own.
But since this location started trying to high-​tech up appointments with their snazzy new app, my last four appointments have been ignored. I call (or now app) ahead, clear that hole in my day and make the trip in, and find myself on the same wait as if I hadn’t scheduled at all. Three of my last four attempted haircuts resulted in me running out of waiting time and leaving with nothing accomplished.
I like Ivonne and I wish she could still cut my hair, but time and principle force me to another haircut place that will honor appointments and its customers’ time. Very disappointing.
Looking for recommendations for a good, reasonably priced men’s haircut option in the Loop!

I really am sorry to see the horrible reviews on here. I have only seen one person here, Yolanda. I was tired of paying for pricey haircuts and being miserable after I leave with an ugly haircut. I figured, if I’m going to walk around with ugly haircuts, I might as well be paying $ 15 for them. I walked in, as they do not take appointments, and was seen quickly by Yolanda. I am a woman and wear my hair short, like a pixie cut. Yolanda had me skipping out of there in 20 minutes. My haircut was so cute, and it only cost $ 15! I went back, same thing. Again and again. I have been going to her for at least a year now, and short hair needs a trim every few weeks. Once or twice it isn’t quite right, but I go back in a few weeks and it’s great. I’ve tried growing the side, growing the bangs, angling the cut, and Yolanda keeps up. I’m going back today.

I agree with one of the other people that reviewed this Supercuts location, I wish there were negative ratings. Giving one star is too generous. I was told to see Yolanda by a friend. Well, Yolanda did one hell of a hack job on my hair and then thought she could camouflage by blow drying and then flat ironing my hair. I tried to live with it for a few days. Couldn’t, so I went back and Teecha (sp?) was the next person that I tried. I say person and not stylist because that would not be an accurate description. She tried to clean up Yolanda’s mess but failed. I went back to her once more thinking all I needed was to let it grow out a bit so there would be more to work with. Uhmm yeah, I was wrong. I went to a professional on Saturday and when she combed out my hair and showed me how bad it was I wanted to scream! How do you cut off too much hair and then try and cover it by leaving the next layer longer?! NEVER again!

It’s too bad there aren’t negative ratings. This has to be the worst Supercuts in the city. It is about as organized as a group of stray cats. I walked out (without a haircut) after waiting for an hour and seeing countless people who came in after me (and didn’t call ahead) get served before me. It wasn’t a matter of being forgotten either. I checked in the with «receptionist» twice.
I finally realized that I was about to let a group of people that cannot properly manage a line cut my hair.
To be fair I’ve been to this location before and I’ve had mixed results. There is one woman that does a great job and is very friendly. However, she is just one person.
I go to Supercuts because I expect it to be quick and inexpensive. If I would have had service it would have been inexpensive but far from quick.
AVOID this place like the plague.

Nothing special. I went in with my friend to get hair cuts and we both exchanged glances as we realized all of the customers were males (not something we’re used to at salons.) We both work near by and needed inexpensive haircuts asap. I noticed all the women working also looked the exactly same (must be family owned franchise or something.) After waiting about 30 minutes I got a cut, basically a trim because I was too scared to complicate/​confuse the dresser (the cuts they were giving all the men didn’t look too good). I left with just a few inches off, I basically look the same. My friend also had the same feeling, they didn’t really do much. So for about $ 20 including tip, it was okay. I wouldn’t ask for anything too picky, they don’t seem very experienced. Though, I don’t think I’ll go back.

Go to Yolanda. Very good and highly experienced. Thoughtful sweet lady.

Worst. Haircut. Ever. Except for the last time I went there 2 years ago.
I was clear about what I wanted — clean up my cut, trim about an inch, longer on top than the sides. I came in with a side part, and left with a center part. Not my idea. I don’t know what the gal was thinking about, but it wasn’t my haircut. She made it lumpy and lopsided, and I decided to leave rather than see if I could talk here through getting it right. I don’t have enough hair for that.
Back to the Haircuttery on Halsted for me. They always do a nice job, and it is equally inexpensive. But like night and day.

I realize a place like this is going to be a bit hit-​or-​miss depending on the stylist you get, and maybe because I’m a guy and don’t need as many «services» (ladies, I sympathize about the $ 45+ charges!), but they’ve always given me a decent cut at this place and the price is reasnable.

I have been going here for about 3 years as it is convenient to go get a haircut on lunch break while working in the loop. There is a woman here who has cut my hair probably 25 times over the course of my frequenting this establishment, and every time I end up with her, she does a real great job. I wish I knew her name. I think it’s Wendy. I should find out.
Granted, my haircut is easy (well, really, what do I know, I don’t cut hair). But you just take a 1 guard around the sides and back, then fade it up to the top of my head and leave about 1″ of hair up there. So it sounds pretty easy to me. Anyways, I have always been happy with the haircuts I walk out of here with.
I tried to get an $ 8 hair cut at some Latin American type place near my house and walked out with a way crooked fade and a big chunk of hair missing from the back of my cranium. I of course can not see the back of my own head, and in retrospect the haircutter there curiously did not give me a mirror to inspect her handywork, so when I got home my girlfriend’s roommate politely pointed out that the back of my head looked ridiculous. This has not happened at Supercuts in the Thompson Center and for that I is grateful.

I’m going to engage in a bit of wacky, so-​called reverse stereotyping and say that this is what happens when you get your hair cut by a straight guy.
I’ll admit that I am 50% at fault for my unsatisfactory haircut, as I tend to forget the description of what I’m looking for, but the guy may well have decided to make his own decision regardless. He didn’t cut the top short enough, and he explained that he did so because I would look too bald otherwise. Uh, thanks for the editorializing, dude.
I knew I should’ve sat back down and made him cut it down, but I felt like I was in some kind of twilight zone, or tractor beam, or insert your preferred dorky sci-​fi simile here, and I also felt like this guy had opinions too strong to be overruled by pitiful «customers,» so I just gave up hoping that I could get it fixed at the other Loop location, where I’d had much better service. This place is closer to my work, but who cares! If someone’s gonna cast aspersions on me, they oughta at least give better results.

My cut and highlights are perfect at ½ price other places
Cut depends on who you get BUT Sheri and Gina are the best!
This place is closed weekends

How is it possible to have someone ELSE do your hair, yes, for $ 45 at SUPERCUTS — and have it look WORSE than your own paltry efforts.
I don’t know how it’s possible, but the wierd little chick who washed, blow dried and used the flat iron on my hair managed to do so.
For the Thompson Center, you’d think they’d have a better «quicky» salon than this flea bag shop.
I’ve never paid more than $ 30 for a cheapy quicky, but I accounted for its being IN the Thompson Center. huh-​uh. Location has nothing to do with the quality (NOT) of service (and subsequent lack thereof) in this place. Frankly, I think the PLACE felt creepy…
I couldn’t wait to get out of that chair, and I swear — I do a MUCH better job — and I can’t see the back of my head!

Have you ever been hit on by a guy so sleezy and so below your standards that you felt like you needed to take a shower afterward, just from being spoken to? Yeah, that’s what Supercuts felt like to me. If you’ve read any of my other reviews, you know that I am 100% loyal to my Gia at the Charles Ifergan salon. the place that brings you lemon waters and treats you like a queen each time you go. Well, during budget craze where for a brief moment I considered haircuts a «non-​essential» item, I decided that Supercuts may be a decent choice for a simple trim. I mean, cut and tip for less than twenty? I thought this was the answer to my budget woes. Well, my hair has never recovered from the emotional trauma since, and I will never consider haircuts a non-​essential budget item again.
Honestly, ladies, a hair cut isn’t just about the cut. Sure, you need someone with great technique and who can make you look beautiful (neither of which Supercuts offers), but more than that, going to a salon is also a spiritual experience. There is nothing like sitting in the chair having your hair cut by someone who looks just as hip and beautiful as you want to feel. You want to look around and see other people who care enough about their appearance to put in the time to come to a nice salon. You want to be pampered and made to feel like a goddess in a place with aesthetic furniture, calming music, and the sound of stiletto heels on the ground.
Going to supercuts was like walking into a grocery store. Not the hip whole foods type of grocery stores with MILFs walking around. It was like going to a grocery store in the middle of the afternoon where you see people walking around aimlessly like they are just trying to distract themselves from the fact that they don’t have a job. It’s like walking into some fashion bug type store off a recommendation from a co-​worker only to discover that it’s a store where fashion comes to die and you know you have to escape before someone you know spots you.
I feel dirty just writing this review b/​c I feel dirty for having ever walked into the store. There is no amount of frederick fekkai products i can buy to make up for what I did, and just the mere thought of having ever walked into this salon makes my skin crawl. What the hell was I thinking?
And if hating supercuts makes me a snob, then a snob I will be. But unless you’ve done it yourself, don’t judge. It was truly that awful.

I was quoted $ 47 to have my hair blow dried straight! It makes absolutely no sense that it would cost that much when a hair cut only costs about $ 20 and you would assume that they’d blow dry your hair anyway.
