hair salon rec for Chicago girls (very MM!)

[Deleted]

My hair looks seriously amazing.

Got a $10 cut at Michael & Michael Salon michaelandmichael.com with Carmen today (she's new and posted an ad for $10 cuts on salonapprentice.com).

MY HAIR IS AMAZING.

Carmen was nice and all, but it was obvious she was still learning. She took a while but was very careful, polite, and open to instruction. Michael (the owner) is very involved and watches every move. He got in there and started each cut. The techniques he uses are fucking amazing. This guy really knows everything about hair - and he picked up on the smallest things (like the deep curvature at the nape of my neck and how to layer my hair to make sure it doesn't collapse too much against this curve).

Michael's high involvement and impressive expertise makes it impossible for you to get a bad cut--even with someone very new. He charges $250 regularly for cuts. I PAID $10.

I highly suggest monitoring salonapprentice.com for more workshop cuts at this salon. I cannot wait to go back - I booked a $15 color appointment for next Tuesday. Ombre would be only $30. Seriously. I have butterflies about this place.

I went with the MM consensus and gave a $10 tip. I'll probably give the same amount for my $15 color next week.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

sorry for the creepy non-face.


also, this picture doesn't do it justice. I got inverted layers, and the way my hair moves is my favorite thing about the cut!

Let's see if I can make this work.

Very pretty! Too bad about that thing that ate your face though.
