In ShortOpen and bright, this narrow, vibrant, mirror-lined salon with blond hardwood floors is illuminated by track lighting that lends a modern, flattering glow. Treatments rooms are chill with floor-to-ceiling silk curtains and flickering candles. The menu focuses largely on hair services-from cuts to coloring-but a limited spa menu offers up a roses and champagne facial complete with neck and shoulder massage as well as makeup application, waxing, manicures and pedicures.
The Inside Scoop
- Save Money - The salon has an associate program, which means new stylists learn the ropes and you pay less for cuts. A senior stylist oversees everything. Cuts cost about $20.
- Parking - Street parking can be a challenge. Plan to park in the pay lot behind the salon, which has entrances on Greenview and Belmont.
Insider Pages Reviews for Siren Salon
High-priced cuts and impersonal service, but great product selection

I had an appointment with a mid-level stylist for a women's short hair cut that cost around $55. It seemed somewhat reasonable to me, given the location.
The stylist was highly impersonal (a downfall for any stylist!) and sitting through the hair cut was really awkward. He was quiet, and I had to try to make conversation! That's the stylist's job, in my book.
I tried to explain what I wanted ... and he didn't really get it. I ended up with one of my worst cuts ever (luckily my hair grows fast).
My score is not merely on the bad cut and bad service alone ... they do, however, offer a great selection of high-end hair products such as Bumble & Bumble, etc. I would to back to buy products, but not to get a cut.

I've had trouble finding someone to cut my hair evenly without cutting it too short. I've been going to Siren for a few months now, and the girl who's been cutting my hair takes a LONG time, but does a nice job. It's a little pricey ($40), but it's better than the chop jobs I was getting at barber shops and other salons, so it's worth it. They have a lot of products, but they aren't pushy about buying stuff unlike other places.

best haircut everrr!
by emg3
I recently went to Teddy to have a very drastic cut. I wanted to cut off most of my hair and he was the best person I could have ever chosen to go to. He talked with me about what I wanted done, why I wanted it done and talked me through the entire process. I have never had a better haircut or stylist...he is the best! I can't even tell you how many compliments I've gotten in the past few days because it is seriously that great of a cut! I highly recommend him and Siren salon. It's such a wonderful environment. I have very thick hair so when I go to the salon I'm usually there for a long time. By the time my cut was done the shop was closing, but no one made me feel like I was a nuisance for keeping them there later than usual. It's a great place!

the best salon ever!
by stephymarie
OMG i absolutley think that siren salon is the most fantastic salon in the chicago area. I have been going to mark since i was a baby literally he gave me my first haircut (im 15). The people and the atmosphere is just wonderful to be around. Everyone there is just so friendly ive become good friends with alot of the hair dressers that work there. Siren also gives awesome haircuts and colorings and you dont leave the salon dissapointed. I highly recommend this place!

Great customer service, extremely "salon educated"...
by mcgaffigan
Incredible place! I called yesterday seeing if maybe they would have any openings for that evening and they fit me in at 7pm (almost impossible i've found for places around here to do that)! The atmosphere there is completely comfortable and the stylist/receptionist are all friendly and welcoming. My stylist Dominique (i'm officially hooked) was very confident w/ my hard to style curly/poofy hair and she chopped up the cutest hair cut i've ever had-- knew exactly what i wanted even though i was having a difficult time putting what i wanted into words! I could go on and on as to why this place is the place to go, but I just recommend you check it out for yourself-- and ask for dominique!
Pros: Stylists know what they are doing
Cons: no complaints

long lasting waxing job!
by hlhammer
I have been going to Berry to get my waxing done and she dose a great job! ( and the prices are not bad at all!- i used to pay about $10 more at my previous salon) I saturday I'm getting a massage with another staff member, if he is half as attentive as berry it will be great. I am always warmly greeted as soon as i enter the lobby! it feels like a mini vacation every time i go! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
