“I had an excellent experience working with Blush and Braids for my wedding. My amazing makeup and hair artist, Mercedes, is not only incredibly talented, but was also so pleasant to hang and work with. We did one makeup trial together, and two hair trials. Then on the day of my wedding we did my hair and makeup, and my mom and sister’s makeup. Everyone was very happy with their look. As a cherry on top - all the communication from Blush and Braids was spot-on and proactive.“

“BOOK HERE NOW! I came in desperately needing a haircut and Jezebel exceeded my expectations! As a busy mom, I don’t always have time to get my hair done. So when I do get my hair done, I need it to grow out really well and be easy to style every day. I am in love with my layers and now my hair is bouncy and has lots of volume. Jezabel was so professional and gave me so much knowledge on how to properly care for my hair. The staff is so welcoming and friendly and the space is super cute. I left with a new haircut, gorgeous bouncy blowout, and an instant confident boost. Will definitely be back!“

“It took me two years after moving to Chicago to find Moe!! She is brilliant! I have frustratingly thin, frizzy hair with a deep part and changing curl pattern. But she cuts it so well!! She makes sure to have an actual discussion about what I want with my hair, and if I ask her to do what she think will look best, she walks me through what her idea will look like and how it can be styled before making any cuts. As for her "bedside manner", she is personable, welcoming, and kind. Moe makes wonderful conversation or we can be quiet, whatever I need. She is truly a special stylist and worth EVERY penny.

The salon itself is wonderful, as well. The staff have been nothing but kind and helpful, even when I run in at the last second looking a stressed mess in my stained work clothes, they help me get settled and relax. They've always helped me with scheduling so patiently, and the building is clean, comfy, and stylish.

Cannot recommend them enough!“

“Today I went into FM Hair Studio looking for a transformation after neglecting my hair for a long time. Kim was my stylist and she did an amazing job! I got highlights and a cut that refreshed my 3a curls and complimented my face. We also spoke about my hair goals and Kim provided me with curly girl education and product suggestions. I left the salon feeling totally confident, loving my new look. Thanks Kim for giving my hair that magical touch it needed!“

“I wanted to get a major chop and start over. I searched for months to find the right salon and finally decided to choose Xtacee. When I called to make an appointment, I spoke with Teisha, the shop owner and explained to her what I wanted done. She assured me that she would take good care of me and she did! I also decided to go platinum blonde with the short cut and Teisha made sure it was the color I wanted. I was very pleased with her work and professionalism. The shop is nice and clean and the other stylists are very friendly which made for a great experience. I will definitely be returning!“
