Manal Studio

Manal is just wonderful. Very professional, quick and just the right amount of fuss. I always feel 10 years younger after a haircut from Manal. Don’t have to go home and fix it again like with other hairdressers.

Look no further for great skin care! Anna is a true professional! Her knowledge and experience in the field is amazing and she knows what to do with any skin type or issue-​with great results! My daughter and I both love what she has done for our skin and we higly recommend her. My daughter has been going for once a month treatments for her acne and we are so pleased! Anna taught her how to maintain her skin in between visits and it looks great! My «slightly older» skin has benefitted as well. Very reasonable prices and fantastic results!!! She does our waxing too — always an excellent job! Thanks Anna! :)

She is good. She is professional. My hairs looks so nice. She did partial highlights for my hairs.

I intentionally waited about a week to write a review to make sure that the color and style would set well and it was something I loved.
I could not be any happier. I am absolutely in love with my hair color and the cut it was exactly what I asked for!
Manal and her staff where very welcoming and they make the experience so enjoyable. It felt like going to a good friends place and having her do your hair.
I don’t think it’s even a question whether I’ll be returning.
I highly highly recommend!!!

Manal is absolutely fabulous. She’s skilled as a stylist, and somehow knows exactly what you want with little direction — every single time. I cannot say enough about her, but what is more important than anything else is her genuine appreciation toward her clients.
She’s kind, makes you feel comfortable, and goes beyond small talk. The experience is more like visiting a friend!
Her new salon is beautiful, well-​kept, and operates with incredible class. Definitely recommend this place.

I am so happy that my friend recommended Manal to me. I have never liked my hair more or received so many compliments on my hair in my life! I have very straight, fine, rather thin hair and Manal has given me a short cut which works beautifully. Manal is also a delightful person and I am so happy she has finally realized her dream to open her own salon. The salon is a beautiful serene space, very calming, like Manal herself. Even though I have to travel twice as far, I do not give it a second thought. Leaving her salon you look better on the outside and and wonderful on the inside too. I can’t recommend her enough!

Manal is the best hair stylist I have ever known. She is fabulous at cutting hair and truly wonderful with hair coloring. Her studio is beautiful and has such a calm, inviting atmosphere it is always a delight to be there. She also happens to be a very kind person. I highly recommend going to Manal Studio.

If there were 10 stars, I would give both Manal and her salon a 10! I have lived in Chicago and the near burbs for almost ten years and have been searching for the right stylist and salon the entire time. I don’t think I’ve gone to the same place twice in that time. I’m picky and I want what I want. My patience and persistence have been rewarded! Manal is a tremendous stylist who never disappoints. She is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home in her beautifully styled, ultra clean salon in Lincoln Square. She listens well and ensures she understands exactly what you are wanting to achieve with your hair. (And if you don’t know, she’s an amazing artist who will ensure you leave with a cut and color that suits you and your hair type.) She is detail-​oriented, taking the time to explain what she is doing and ensures that every nuance is, quite literally, perfect. For other women out there who rock a short do like me, she’s perfection — the lines are clean yet feminine and there are no scissor marks. EVER. Manal is also a great colorist, executing beautifully to create depth and definition. Finally, there is never any pressure to buy products or services. If you ask about what products she is using, she will explain what they are and why she’s using them, but it’s completely up to you if you want to make a purchase. Manal has NEVER tried to sell me anything.
Do yourself a favor and visit Manal the next time you are looking for an incredible Aveda salon experience. You will not be disappointed.

I had the best experience at Manal’s studio. She did such a great job on my hair cut, color, and blow dry. My hair feels so much fuller and healthy. I love the products she used in my hair by aveda. I would definitely go back and refer all my friends!

Manal! She is fantastic! She has been my stylist for 5+ years and highly recommend her. She really knows her stuff and is fast & efficient.
Her new Solon is gorgeous and offers all my Aveda needs.
I live in the city and was more than willing to make the drive to the burbs so Manal could do my hair. She is now here in my neighborhood and couldn’t be happier.
She even does brows, phenomenal!
Go here and you will NEVER be disappointed.

I am not a Unilocaler, but I have to Unilocal about this. Manal came highly recommended by 2 friends, a husband and wife, who have been going to her for over 10 years. I have not had a regular stylist for a long time, after my previous stylist who knew my hair so well and always did a fantastic job passed away… ever since, I have been floating around to different stylists and have never been completely happy with the results. I dreaded going for haircuts. I am SO thrilled with the haircut Manal gave me today! She did an absolutely perfect job. The cut follows the natural way my hair wants to go, while being super stylish. I finally feel like myself again! I can’t express enough how completely relieved I am! Please go see her, you will love her and her salon. P. S. Scalp, neck and hand massages come with the haircut :)

Amazing Manal has moved on to her own, beautiful salon space: Manal Studio in Lincoln Square. I encourage you to book time with her as I have been going to her for hair cuts, highlights and formal up-do’s for years.

Manal has been my stylist for over 10 years. I first met Manal when she worked for Renessence. I followed her when she moved to another location in Skokie. Now she’s back in the ‘hood and I’m spreading the word. She has never disappointed me with the cut and colors I have gotten over the years and her chair side manner is top notch. I am so excited she now has her own salon to get a great cut/​color as well as additional services like facials, waxing and threading. Welcome back to the neighborhood, Manal!

Hands down, Manal is one of the best hair stylists in Chicago. An easy conversationalist with an eye on style, she is generous with her time and makes sure that you leave feeling good about how you look. I have been going to see her on a regular basis for a haircut for over a decade and know from experience that she genuinely cares about all of her clients. Manal is a gem in a brand new location that truly shines.

I have been going to Manal for about 12 years now, I believe. I’ve never had a haircut I wasn’t 100% satisfied and Manal also happens to be among the nicest people I’ve ever met. I can’t say enough how glad I am to have found her all those years ago!
