How to choose a hair salon in Chicago
- Verify that stylists and barbers hold a current state cosmetology or barber license, which should be displayed in the shop. Licensing rules vary by state.
- Look at the portfolio or photos of work similar to what you want, particularly for color, curls, or specialized cuts. Ask who in the shop does it best.
- Ask about pricing before the service, including add-ons like toner or treatments. Pricing often depends on hair length, thickness, and the stylist's experience level.
- Pay attention to cleanliness, such as sanitized tools and fresh capes. Speak up if a style is not right, since good stylists welcome adjustments before you leave.
