Ratings_icons Diana is the best!!

roxy1498

I've been getting my hair colored at different salons since i was 13 (im now 21). No matter who I went to or where I went to I was never happy with the results...until I came to Trio. Diana is awesome!! She is so nice, funny, conversational and actually gives you the color you want. She spends time listening and talking to you before she even starts to color your hair so you both know exactly what is going to happen. She is awesome!!

donna4444

I have long thin hair. I'm from LA and never had a problem getting a good cut there but since I've moved to Chicago it's been a different story. Everywhere I went left my hair too short, stringy and it had to grow out for 3 weeks before I stopped hating it. Then I went to Shelly...she's great! She's the 1st stylist in Chicago to cut my hair while I was standing up and finish it dry (which they always did in LA). It looked great right away, it has body and movement and style and I couldn't be happier. She knows what she's doing and I won't be going anywhere else!

Ratings_icons Jeri Delgado is an incredible hairstylist at Trio!!!

DanaSus

I have been so lucky to have found Jeri Delgado that I felt I had to share the good fortune with everyone. She had my trust with the first haircut. She is so passionate about styling hair that she travels all around the world just to learn different techniques and styles. I have full confidence in her skills based on the fact that she has always known exactly how to cut and style my hair, while listening to my preferences and/or concerns. I always walk out of Trio feeling like a million bucks after seeing her. She deserves a great deal of respect for her professional work. On top of that, she will also give me great advice for styling my own hair at home. You will definitely be hooked after the first haircut!

Ratings_icons Need a fantastic stylist? Call Jeri Del Gado...

MarciaKB

I've been a client of Jeri's for over ten years. I was "stylist-phobic" when I first met her, after many years of bad cuts, inconsistent stylists, and stylists who didn't listen. Then I met Jeri. I can imagine I was quite a pain in the beginning, fearful of getting a too-short cut, a style that didn't suit my face, or a style requiring a lot of maintenence. From the beginning, Jeri always listened and was senstive to my needs as well as the instructions I gave. Now, I trust her implicitly. Not only do I know my cut will suit my face, but Jeri knows I may not be in for a trim for a few months, and my cuts always grow out beautifully. My hair is thinner than I like, and unevenly curls- with tighter spirals on top and straighter layers beneath. I like to wear it curly sometimes, other times I blow-dry it straight. I enjoy having the option to take it in either direction, and Jeri is the ONLY stylist I have ever found that understands how to properly layer thinner hair so that it looks great either curly or straight. I think there are a lot of stylists who may have a "vision" for you, but many don't take into account whether the look suits the person. Jeri does. On the flip side, I've seen people walk in and show photos to stylists of styles (or hair) that wouldn't realistically work, but the stylist does it anyhow. Jeri has the creativity and experience to understand what works best for YOUR hair, and additionally has the communication skills needed to tactfully explain to a client how a look might be modified so your resulting haircut meets your expectation.
Aside from her being a talented professional, Jeri is a warm and loving person who always seems to practice her art with joy, and an incredible attention to detail. She honestly cares about her clients and you feel from the first appointment that Jeri wants you to walk out feeling great about yourself, and your look. I know I always do.

7M

I rarely write in such forums but feel compelled to share with you that Jeri Delgado is the woman you want to cut and style your hair. She instantly gained my trust and I haven't looked back. Been going to her for 3 years and quickly got to the point where I don't even say what I want. She is that good. I trust her completely. It is apparent why Jeri is a senior instructor in Trio's educational programs and I always enjoy when she explains the technical side of her craft. Jeri goes beyond the imagination and brings a creative element that you'll be proud to live with every day. I always look forward to my visit with Jeri, and, I'm sure you will too. On top of her professional skill, she is a person who is full of joy and will bring you a smile, every time.

Pros: Superb staff.

Cons: None.

I cant say enough good things about Trio. Diana has been doing my color for many years! She's the best. She listens to what you want and then she does it!! I first found her after I received a BAD color from another salon. Wow!! She is a colorist ROCK STAR!!

Theresa is also great! Her cuts grow out the best. Its amazing from day one! What a huge difference the right cut makes!

The staff is all very friendly without being snooty or pretentious like other salons of this calibar.

Go there! You wont be sad you did!

Pros: Diana!!!!!!!! Once she does your color, you will never let anyone else touch it!

Ratings_icons Ask for Renata...

stepahnie8404

Just found my new colorist, RENATA at Trio. I walked in by chance, and met Renata. I loved her style and her professional advice. She had recommended a treatment that did wonders for my moisture deprived hair. She had also suggested a great color with highlights that worked for my skin tone and for my busy schedule. She called them peek-a-boo highlights. When they grow out you can't tell, so if I don't have a chance to get back to her for awhile, they still look really good. Thanks Renata, I will definitely be back.

Pros: Freindly Staff, Great Advice

Ratings_icons my favorite hairstylist jerry delgado

melbeth

I moved to chicago and was very worried about who I would find to cut my hair. I ended up finding the best hairstylist I've ever had. Jerry Delgado is incredible. She is wonderful with curly hair. I have curly hair that I have always had a love-hate relationship with, and Jerry cuts it in a way that just enhances my curl, and makes it so easy to style. She is a very kind person who I look forward to seeing each time I go in. I would recommend her to anyone who is unsure of where to go, and nervous about who to trust. You can trust Jerry. She will take the time to listen to what you want, and make it her goal to make you happy.

Ratings_icons Shelly's the BOMB!!!!!

bsquare2

Well, I just moved her from L.A. and I wasn't sure where to even begin looking for a new salon to go to...until I looked up this website!! City Search is great for people who need to find a new spot! Anyways, Shelly had alot of nice reviews so I thought I'd check her out and I must say that I was really happy that I did! The salon is nice inside and the staff was pretty cool! I went on a Sunday which I think is awesome!! In L.A. the only salons that are open on Sundays are chop shops!!!! Shelly really is a great stylist. After talking with her, I may be considering hair extensions as well! She told me the good and the bad things about them and the good REALLY out weighs the bad. It's a little expensive, but hey, it's my hair so it's super important to me! As they say.. you get what you pay for and I think that everyone has had a bad hair cut and swears they will NEVER go to a cheap place again. So....based on my opinion.....Shelly is the girl for you if you need to get a great cut!

Tired of brassy, fake-looking, and just plain bad color? Go to TRIO on N. Wabash and ask for Renata! I have a dark-blonde to brown natural hair color and have been lightening it for about 4 years now. I was always going from colorist to colorist because I was unhappy with the results I was getting. Then I found Renata at TRIO and have been going to her for the past two years and plan to stay with her for as long as possible. My color always looks great and natural and she is able to help me get the results I want even though I'm not real familiar with the processes and lingo of hair color. She is absolutely awesome at her job and very easy and fun to talk to! Not to mention the atmosphere at TRIO is great. I have also gotten trims there by a couple of the stylists at TRIO, also with great results.

Ratings_icons Best Extensions by Shelly

Jillbeverly

I was really wondering if getting exentions would be the answer for me. Many of my friends have them done and their hair looks great. I heard it can get a little pricey, but everyone recommends to spend the cash beacuse it's worth it. So, I went to see Shelly at Trio on Wabash and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. She took her time explaining the pros and cons. The way extensions can make your hair feel not only longer, but fuller is really worth every penny. I've always had really bad thin hair and always wished to have thick locks..well I have to wish no more!! I truely think that Shelly does an amazing job and would recommend her to anyone who's wanting hair that they thought they could never have!!!!!

Pros: Hours and location

Ratings_icons Best Hair Place in Chicago! --- Aaron J.

BCGirl05

I am 24 years old and have had my fair share of haircuts at high end salons in both Chicago and Boston. Up until I found Aaron at Trio Salon, I was never happy with my haircut. Most high end salons boast the professionals that work there as the best in town; however Aaron at Trio is the first hair stylist that not only made me feel like I was getting what I paid for, but actually impressed me with his abilities. I have had everything from a simple layer to the trendy bangs and bob look, and have always left feeling more attractive than when I came in. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to commit to a serious hair stylist who knows what he is doing. He will deliver!!!

Pros: Great cuts and color, great area, friendly and professional staff

Cons: None

byond

TRIO on Wabash, is the last Salon you try. Great down to earth atmosphere and employees, no extra "hype". This salon "WAY" out-performs: OK,...here we go; ..{deep breath} ,,,OhMyGod...) J. Gordon Designs, Maxine, Charles Ifergan, Mon Ami, Mario Tricoci, Troupe, Milios, Red 7 Salon, Art & Science, Sine Qua Non, Urban Lift Salon, Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Tirra & various other smaller Aveda Salons in Chicagoland and Skokie as well. I WAS READY TO get drunk and start SCREAMING all the way down Rush Street, but now I am YELPING about TRIO on Wabash. Pricey is way better than Dicey, you get what you pay for" unless you know someone in the BIZ. I don't know anyone in the Coif biz except Coiffures that I do not want to go to, that has cost me a small king's ransom on my American Depression Card. one day on the Oprah Winfrey Show, I saw Alex and Phillip demonstrating their techniques and I know Oprah does not invite "clowns" on to her show, so I thought I should try TRIO. At TRIO, other stylists like Thor (for a great haircut) and the less experienced stylists are less expensive and still 100 times better than going to any other salon because they are trained In-House by Phillip and Alex in the training program. I don't know if they actually train to read a clients mind the way Alex, Phillip & Thor do, but maybe that is the TRIO secret ingredient! How do they know exactly what I am going to say about my hair when I first walk in and sit in the chair? Is it the chair? They just "pick up your thoughts about your hair". They don't just talk about hair they actually perform what they say they will do! Something really crazy is going on here at TRIO because I am not the only client that says this thing about 'mind reading hair'. Also, If you have Aveda PurePriviledgePoints they accept the certificates for salon services at the North Ave location, so that can help out too. Money well spent!!! Dare u to try the "hair reading experience" at TRIO!

lindar1971

I was in Chicago from New York for a wedding and I really wanted to get my hair done. But sometimes being in a strange city can lead to a bad "hair do." So, I went to Trio Salon after reading some reviews on Shelly Aguirre. I went both Saturday for a blowout and on Sunday for an up-do. I couldn't have been more pleased! My brother, who never comments on ANYONE'S hair, told me how fab I looked! I felt like a million bucks! So, if you ever need your hair done, you must go see Shelly! When I come back to Chicago, I will most certainly be going to see her again. I bet if she can style hair like she does, she must be great at cutting too! I may have to make Chicago a regular stop!

Pros: I love the Sunday hours!!!

I see the esthetician, Nicole, for all of my facial waxing. She's so careful and very sweet. I have nice eyebrows naturally so I didn't do much to them until I started to see Nicole. I can't believe the difference it made, they look absolutely perfect. I've been seeing her now for two years and am completely satisfied. She even goes the extra step when waxing my upper lip and does just inside my nose ( i know, wierd, but actually a fantastic service that i greatly appreciate) . She's the only esthetician at Trio so she tends to be booked so I recommend calling in advance for an appointment

Pros: lovely staff, very calming waxing experience

Ratings_icons Diana and Theresa are the winning combination for perfect hair.

cjcb

Trio Salon is outstanding largely due to top-notch stylists and colorists. I highly recommend Diana for color and highlights. She has NYC and Beverly Hills style right here in Chicago. I receive compliments and inquiries EVERY time she does my color; she is creative and keeps her clients up-to-date with the current trends. Yet she truly assesses each person's individual hair texture and lifestyle so that your color is unique to YOU. Makes me feel like a rock star every time!!!

Theresa is the very best for cuts. Her style is artisitic and careful. She spends at least 1 hour cutting and cuts dry so you can really see what your hair texture and natural wave will do. The best part is that the hair style is all in the cut itself...so you won't be spending 45 minutes stying at home later. Her technique and the products she recommends enable you to actually re-create your style at home!!! As with my color I get alot of compliments and inquiries about her cuts. I have had several different lenghts and cuts over the years and she gets it right every time.

Accept no substitutes - these women are the best.

Pros: Located conveniently close to the Chicago Red Line stop.

Cons: Parking can be difficult; must park in a lot or garage.

Ratings_icons Sux Beyond Belief

pupchen

Should have no stars but they don't let you do that.
The Evanston location is down the street from where I live. DO NOT EVER GO THERE. The people are brain damaged, the turnover is something like 500 percent, except for the nightmare hairstylist called, on any given occasion when you demand NOT to have her, Kat, Katherina or Kathy. She must be having personal relations with somebody since she is the worst, but the only one who remains. Or perhaps no one else will have her. She cut my hair THREE INCHES shorter than I told her to, first visit. Thus visit #2, I said "no Kat." So they gave me Katherina. Guess who I got. Suxed again. Third time, I told the Village Idiot receptionist that I wanted no one remotely related to the name Kat or Katherina.....guess who they thought I would be dimwitted enough to overpay this time??????? Kathy. (I think you can imagine who she would have been.....)

Now, I lived in Manhattan for 12 years, and paid $400 a popf or a fabulous color and cut; I know a good haircut when I see one and especially when I get one. First, you do NOT color before cutting. They DO color before cut at TRIO, so you know off the bat they don't know what they're doing. Secondly, you don't cut wet. They do.

So, until I go to NYC for a 'do, I'll go down a few feet on Central and get a BETTER haircut and color for LESS THAN half the price, by a stinky (oh, my god she stinks,but she is good if not cool,) Russian, and walk home happy. Unlike when I went, past tense, for more than twice the price to the brain damaged broad at TRIO,and her ever-changing entourage of third rate colorists (who probably left because of her stupidity.)

To like TRIO is to be masochistic.

Pros: none whatsoever.

Cons: incredibly inept staff; huge turnover; ridiculous lighting, no wonder, aside from the absurd staff, they can't see what they're doing.,

I just moved from NYC where Kyle from Oscar Blandi salon on Madison did my color. Kyle came highly recommended and had an A-list clientele with lots of magazine covers. He was so great and I was so worried I wouldn't find someone comparable in Chicago. A friend recommended Renata at Trio salon and I was thrilled with my color. She took so much time to make sure the highlights were super close to the scalp and the color has never looked better. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for great color. Also, my hair was pretty damaged from the color/technique used by a stylist at the Charles Ifergan salon. So when I first went to see Renata, she recommended I begin using a conditioning treatment which got my hair back in good shape. If you want fabulous color, go see Renata.

I have been going to see Renata for the past 2 years now. I am so glad that I have finally found a colorist that knows what I want and is able to satisfy her clients. I have seen colorists off and on for the past years, and I finally found one. If you want a drastic look she is eager and ready to do what you want. Also, if you want more blended/subtle highlights she is awesome at that as well. In general, the salon can meet the needs of an array of clients. Renata gives me great tips on how to keep my color when it starts to fade and gives me an opinion of what will look good on me. She has an amazing eye for color and you will not be unhappy with the results. Finally, she always consults with you before you leave to make sure your color is what you wanted and if you want to change anything.

Aaron is an incredible stylist. Honestly, you will feel like your appointment is taking hours, and not in a bad way, he takes so much time and care to make sure he cuts just perfectly -- the appointment really only takes about an hour, and it's well worth it. The only reason I took away one star is because the salon itself could use some adjustments... it's a bit stuffy and some of the staff need to improve their people skills. Aaron however is very personable and kind.

I've been to several other salons/stylists in the city looking for someone to cut my hair. Jeri is the only one I trust! I've never had a dreaded "poddle do" or "triangle" from her. No one ever complimented my hair until I started seeing her. I highly recommend Jeri if you have curly hair!

I've lived in NYC and Chicago, and I've never found such a professional, friendly, laid-back salon. Diana is amazing--my color has never been this beautiful. Shelly has a great instinct for cutting/styling and I'm always thrilled with the results when I walk out the door!

Ratings_icons WHEN IT COMES TO STYLING YOUR HAIR, SHELLY'S YOUR GAL!!!!!!

staceymccarthy

WOW!!! That's what I have to say about Shelly Aguirre. I have been to alot of other salons in Chicago and New York (I travel alot) and I couldn't be more impressed! Shelly really understood the texture of my hair and took the time to listen to me when I was going on about how much I hated my hair! She gave me an amazing hair cut. Not only that, she actually took her time to explain how I can do my own hair at home. What a concept!! Most hairstylist couldn't be bothered to give step by step instructions on how to do your own hair. She recommended velcro rollers for me and I love the look!! I'm getting married soon and Shelly will DEFINALTLY be doing my hair for my wedding. Thanks Shelly!!

Pros: Open 7 days a week. Shelly has great hours that she's available

Ratings_icons You NEED to go and see Shelly Aguirre!!!!!

I can't say enough great things about Shelly. She not only has given me the best haircut of my life, but she also is so well rounded. Shelly is an educator with Aquage and travels all around the country. She really seems to know her stuff! I love that she keeps on top of all the current trends. So many hairstylist don't really seem to care about taking classes. Shelly takes them and teaches them! I really recommend Shelly if you are looking for someone who will really listen to you and your hair needs. I love that she also gave me some product that actually worked with my hair!!!!! I usually see her on Sundays and I think that is great that Trio is open 7 days a week.

Ratings_icons Renata for color, Alex for cut!

windycityghopper

Renata does a fabulous job on color! She really has an eye for hair color and blends my highlights in naturally. No zebra stripes! She'll also let you take a walk on the wild side if you decide you want something a little different. I can't say enough about her, I love Renata! I have been going to her for about a year and she completely turned my drab hair into fab! :)

I see Alex for hair cuts and he is SO worth the high price tag! He listens to what you want and your vision for your hair. I have really thick hair and my previous hair stylist thinned my hair out so much just to manage it. Alex has never thinned my hair out and it's totally managable and healthy. Thank you Alex!

billylullo

Shelly is a phenomenal hair stylist. My hair is perfect every time I leave her. I travel alot so I occasionally go else where to get my haircut. SHE FIXES IT EVERY TIME. No matter how badly they other people screw it up she gets back to looking like me. She is also an Aquage Genius. She travels the country promoting Aquage; even working for them though is isn't pushy. She will always manages to find the newest and best products that work well with ever changing hair. Not to mention her wit; she makes 45 minutes in a salon seem like 15. :)

Pros: They serve a variety of beverages.

Cons: Parking is tough!

Ratings_icons Jeri Rocks Trio Salon

sophia_26

I love Trio Salon for its outstanding customer service, impeccable sense of style and friendly staff and of course, for Jeri Delgado, my stylist - who, frankly, gives the best haircuts!

I go to Jeri at Trio Salon about twice a year for fabulous haircuts. Jeri is always current with all the latest styles, frequently travels to France to perfect her craft and yet is very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. She works with me and my specific hair needs in terms of lifestyle (do not have much time to style in the mornings) and hair texture (curly hair needs special attention). Jeri?s eye for detail will NOT let you walk out of Trio Salon with anything less than the perfect cut! And that is a GREAT feeling!

Sure, it costs slightly more than an average cut/style at Trio, but it is worth it. The cut I receive from Jeri is always way above average and grows out beautifully, so I only need to see her twice a year!

If you want your color done right...Renata is your girl. I am never not satisfied with her work. She also can guide you in the direction you want even if you are unsure of what to do with your hair. I will not let anyone else touch my hair now because of her creative and beautiful work that she does!! Thanks Renata!!!!

Ratings_icons Jeri Delgado: splendid, encouraging stylist and person

cbashley

Great skill and easy personal confidence both-- Jeri has these, and she offers them simply and straightforwardly. I always feel good about how my hair looks ( relaxed and professional, with maybe a touch of quirkiness) and she keeps me on top of things with changes I like. She is a warm and admirable person besides, and her conversation is just what is wanted. She is responsive, lively, tactful, and amusing, and she is also, amazingly, happy to just cut and say nothing at all.

Ratings_icons jeri delgado, best hair stylist on the planet

purplegoddess

As a singer/songwriter, my look has always been a very important part of my career. When I moved from L.A. to Chicago, I was terrified that I'd never find anyone in Chicago who would be able to create and maintain a unique style for me. My colorist in L.A. said to me, "The best cutter I've ever worked with happens to live in Chicago now. Her name is Jeri Delgado." By the way, my colorist has worked all over the world, Paris, London, Tokyo and L.A., and here he was saying Jeri was the best in the world. He was right. I've been a client of Jeri's for 5 years now. She's seen me through many style changes, and always comes up with the right look at the right time. I consistently get rave reviews of my hair! I've also sent many friends to Jeri, who have also loved their results. She's able to create unique sophisticated and/or fun styles that cater to her clients needs and wants, and make them look fantastic. Once Jeri cuts your hair, you'll never have another bad hair day again!

Ratings_icons People that you don't know will tell you how amazing your hair looks when Diana and Theresa care for it!

ganess

Diana has been doing my color longer than I even dare to admit. Theresa has been cutting my hair for about 10 years now. I can't tell you how many compliments I've received on their work. I used to travel a lot with my job and people from all over would stop me to ask who did my hair. Just the other day someone told me that I had great hair! My hair is baby fine. I don't have great hair, I have a great colorist and stylist!
Diana and Theresa are extremely talented and work together wonderfully. Not only do I love the end result of their work, I enjoy the experience of getting my hair done by these two very talented individuals!

Pros: color, cut , shampoo, dry, ambience, staff...

Cons: parking

Jeri Delgado has been cutting my hair, superbly, for the last ten years at four different salons in Chicago. Consistency and attention to detail are both hallmarks of Jeri's work. What's more, she possesses that rare ability to translate her personal sense of style to the needs and desires of her clients. As director of education for the three Trio Salons, Jeri understands the importance of professional development--hence her yearly trips to the coasts and Europe to check out the latest trends and further refine her skills via cutting classes. Jeri is a stylist you keep because she keeps you in style.
