TRIO Salon Ltd.

OKmight sound like a freakBut, I am addicted to Trio salon. Yes it is my drug. I have been a devoted client for the last six years. Then I moved to the burbs
Thinking somehow I could find the same great service Trio offers out there. Was I wrong! No where could I find Trios - genuine smile when (you are greeted at the door), the awesome music playing in the background, the pleasant aromas in the air (some of the salons I tried to experiment with had a scent of hair dye and other chemicals)And most important I never walked out of those salons with the feeling I got from Trio Super Star
Now, I just take the drive (make it a day trip) to Trios downtown or Evanston location -Rosa you are the best!!!!
My Super Star Feeling is back!

Cons: Parking-Downtown Loc.

Teresa Tufte has been doing my hair for over a decade. Not once has she ever given me a bad haircut. So precise and always clean looking. I have made the mistake of having another stylist do my hair a few times while business trips and it has turned into nightmares for Theresa to correct. I recommend Trio, very elegant and the management is top notch. Love the products they sell.

Trio Salon's ambiance is a refreshing change in the styling world dominated by cold, sterile, chrome environments with receptionists/stylists to match. Trio staff are warm, welcoming, yet professional and knowledgeable. The small cozy setting boasts the best trained stylists and colorists in the business. I travel 130 miles to spend a day in Chicago dragging countless friends along for the experience. They all agree Trio is the perfect place to get a truly dynamite style, color or perm. They are impressed with the time stylists spend with clients before ever putting scissor to hair. The colorists are artists that wield their tools like Seurat wielded a paint brush - every touch of hair color integral to creating the whole effect. The colorist works with the cut much like Seurat used the spaces on the canvas to create the final image. Trio Salon is the best!

Pros: professional, knowledgeable, accomodating

There is not one thing that you can point to that doesn't make this place stand out! I drive over 35 miles each way to get my haircut and colored every 3 weeks. I've got my haircut at those famous LA and NY places where I spent a large amount of money only to come back to Chicago to have them fix those awful cuts and color. It's funny I think TRIO is one of the only places I know that gets better with time and doesn't rest on it's laurels. Philip is the best colorist in the country, he gets calls from people in other cities that ask his advice. A haircut by Roz is worth 10 times what I pay, I hate to worry about my hair and she makes it easy for me to maintain so that when I walk into a client's boardroom it's the least of my problems. I can't tell you how many people I've recommended to TRIO and the only one's that were disappointed were the one's that didn't come. If it's not the best Salon email me.

Pros: Everything-especially philip, Roz and Alex

Cons: None

Diana and Theresa - two professionals who changed my hair to the hair I always wanted but never got - no matter how much I paid....
I now travel to Chicago from Milwaukee to have my hair colored by Diana and cut by Theresa - they will listen to you and honestly share their ideas with you as well -
Trio offers a high level of service - you will not feel lost in the shuffle.
They carry the full-line of Kerastase hair products.

Trio also stocks the full-line of Kerastase hair products

Roz is so great, I followed her here from NYC! Seriously, she's the best stylist ever! She really takes her time when she cuts my hair. My hair looks and feels great when she's thru with me! The rest of the staff is great too. Everyone from the receptionists to the owners are really friendly and knowledgeable.

Alex is the most talented and the up to date stylist I ever came across in USA and Europe . His new location is top notch as his other salon's (Wicker Park and Evanston) .
Good Luck Alex...with the new location.

I started going to Rosa at Trio when she was a student and was so impressed that I'd never go to anyone else. She gets my curly hair! I'm 31 and before Rosa had never realized how good my curly hair could look. The products she recommended along with the styling have made people on the street ask where I get my hair done - mostly women who are straightening their curly hair, but wish they could wear it curly and like it. Rosa listens so well and is such a sweet person. I recemmend her everyone!

Pros: great environment, personal service

Cons: none

Got a glimpse of the new space on Wabash... its beautiful. Great service... even better ambiance. I won't go anywhere else and would recommend Trio to anyone.

Tracey is the best colorist I have been to throught the U.S. I have tried many different salons and I have not gotten the kind of color I have received from her anywhere else.

Pros: Color

Posted 05/13/05

I travel a lot with my work and have had haircuts in many cities in many countries in the world until now. I now wait until I am in Chicago to go to the hairdressers. I sit there and let Theresa do her majic cut and Diana her majic color and I have never been happier. They know exactly what suits me and I leave them to it. Everyone is friendly, fun and professional.

Pros: Proffesional, great cuts & color, fun & friendly

i have been going to trio for over 3 years now; and this is a record for me. diana is the BEST colorist. people stopped me on the street to ask where i get my color done. josie is an AWESOME stylist. i have never been disappointed with a cut. josie is that rare breed of stylist who actually listens to what you're asking her to do, and then does it. oh, and it helps that she's a chicago native, and cool as hell too.

the ambiance is not what you would expect from a typical, high-quality salon. the staff is friendly, but not in that ass-kissy way that makes you feel like you're just a dollar figure. while it's in the heart of pretensious-ville, it remains quiant and off-beat without trying too hard on either front. i really do like this place.

Pros: diana, josie, atmosphere

Cons: none

I had the pleasure of getting my hair cut by one of Trio's best. Her name is Brooke and let me just say that the only way to describe her is fabulous. Not only is Brooke devoted and passionate about her work but the girl is talented! My hair has never looked better and I get compliments on it every day. Do yourself a favor and stop in and see Brooke at Trio Salon, You won't regret it!!!

Pros: fantastic service, great haircuts, chic environment

Trio Salon is fantastic for hair cuts and color. Although I am currently based in London, I always manage to get to Trio whenever I am back in Chicago. I have thick wavy hair and Theresa's cuts give it such great shape and style - I have never seen a stylist like this and I have been to many of the other salons in Chicago (Ifergan, Pascale, Brady etc) as well as London. Diana always manages to get a natural coverage for my (mostly) grey hair, and also to remedy any color mishaps I have had since my last visit. I would give anything to find a salon like this in London!

Pros: great stylists& color, convenient, friendly staff

Cons: , steep stairs!

Trio offers an Advanced Intership Program, licensed, stylist can specialize in areas of expertise. A friend filled me in. I had searched the Gold Coast, years looking for a salon. I pd $0, to a color specialist in the program, Lauren, (normally you pay cost of product in this prog., Lauren was an exception), for beautiful hair color. Rosa a stylist for 8 years, in the program, offered a haircut, $20. I felt like I had just walked out of a makeover from an exclusive salon in Chicago care of Oprah! I have never been so impressed, satisfied by a salon. Products, cost, service, atmosphere, treatment I received was beyond professional, it was personable. 11 E. Walton location. Alex & Philip, owners, wonderful. Staff a reflection of them; friendly, considerate, concerned, I could go on. Dont miss out. Thanks to Lauren, Megan and Rosa, you have a client for life!

Pros: Cost-Effective, Top Quality, Services Incredible

Cons: , none, none

Trio is unlike any salon I've ever been to - the owners and staff are completely down to earth, yet possibly the most talented and precise at their craft. I've never been so comfortable at a salon, nor looked forward to going back so much!

Posted 08/07/04

Trio is the best salon I've been to in Chicago. It's top notch without being pretentious. Everyone is service oriented and very nice. The staff is exceptionally well trained and the stylists are the best!

I was trying to grow out my hair when I met Alex Ioannou in Seattle. I allowed Alex the liberty to choose my cut and to recommend the color for my hair. Three months later, I'm still receiving praise for my awesome hairstyle. It takes a real master to understand an individual's hair and Alex is someone whom I trust to exceed my expectations. He's friendly and a cute one, too! It is a pleasure to know him. I highly recommend Alex to everyone. He makes me want to move to Chicago.

I live and work on the North Shore and I have been coming to Trio for 10 years. Its cutting edge ( Pardon the pun ) but with a no snobs allowed attitude. Alex, Jimmy and the staff are top notch professionals and true artists.

Excellent customer service, extremely skilled and friendly staff, great atmosphere. Definitely the best salon in Chicago. The Wicker Park location is brand new and beautiful...I've received numerous compliments on my color. ...And not only is Alex a Master hair stylist, he is so sweet and adorable!! Once he cuts your hair you will be his forever........
