Orlando’s Hair Studio

Elsy is AMAZING! She talked me out of some bad hair decisions, helped fix some hair problems, and overall took great care of my hair! She was able to get the perfect shade of purple for my highlights that straddled the line between fun and professional. Also, the blowouts she did for my hair were perfect! I’ve moved to Atlanta and tried high end salons and NO ONE can get my hair to flip the way she did.

Super find in Avondale! I, like another reviewer, had a hair emergency. I had attempted to give myself a haircut and something went Horribly Wrong. I let it sit for a couple days hoping it might magically turn into a haircut I wanted. Didn’t happen. I needed help fast. My usual spot, Twisted Scissors, both usually requires an appointment plus I have to say I was a little embarrassed to walk in there with the thing on my head. (Twisted Scissors I still love you!) I just wanted it fixed IMMEDIATELY.
I was in the area and saw the great reviews so I gave Orlando’s a call and they said they’d be fine with a walk-​in, so I headed over.
The place was empty and not super fancy, but was definitely clean. I cannot for the life of me remember my stylist’s name but she was super sweet and really did an amazing job. I showed her a picture of a cute pixie cut and she totally nailed it in half an hour. One of the best pixies I’ve ever gotten in fact.
Oh, and the cut (including a wash) was $ 18. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS. This is easily over half as much as any other place I’ve been to in the neighborhood, and for as good or better a haircut. No frills (they won’t try to sell you expensive product or offer you a beer) but just a good haircut.
I can’t speak to any of the other stylists at Orlando’s, and the guy who answered the phone wasn’t the friendliest, but I’d go back in a minute. Great deal and I’m a very happy customer.

I needed to get a haircut. I NEEDED a haircut. Earlier in the morning I was fixing my hair before work, and I found crazy long uneven pieces of hair due to a horrible haircut that I had received over the summer! (at a completely different salon) I was shocked to find that my hair had been so jacked up since then and I hadn’t noticed til that morning. Once I got out of work I decided that getting a haircut should be a priority and I looked to see what salons where in the area. Orlandos was close to my apartment so I called to see if they had availability and was told that I could come in at anytime. When I walked through the doors I was greeted by my stylist Elsey and we got down to business!
Things that were great about this place:
Elsey asked me if I wanted my hair washed. Not all stylist do this, and then later when you go to pay for your haircut, they charge you extra for a wash that you did particularly need. She really gave me a good head massage when she washed my hair and I was ready to fall asleep!
She asked me what I wanted from the haircut and she actually listened to my response. I wasn’t %100 set on any particular style because I just wanted my hot mess hair fixed and maybe some bangs. So she gave me some suggestions and we came up with a great game plan.
She was the sweetest person and made great conversation. Its always nice to have a good talk when your getting a haircut!
The price was suuuper reasonable for a wash, cut, and style.
Things you might not like about this place (but I didn’t really care to about):
The building is old and there were some structural issues. Its not the fanciest, most high end salon you will ever go to but my haircut was awesome so I didn’t give a crap.
The chairs are a bit strange. They are square and not regular salon chairs BUT they weren’t uncomfortable. And my haircut still trumped that though .
Over all I’ll go back to Elsey because I was happy, and cute, and didn’t shell out a ton of money when I left Orlandos. And that was my main goal! Thanks Elsey!!!

I was looking for a new hair place near Logan square and boy did I find a winner!!! This is the best haircut I have had in a long time! Yidira was AMAZING!!!

Alex is the best kept secret in the city of Chicago! He is GREAT! Once he’s cut your hair once, he know what to do every time you sit in his chair. He is fast, but takes his time and pays attention to every last detail and the price cannot be beat!

Avondale: home of the $ 8 eyebrow wax. Quality $ 8 eyebrow wax, that is. Sold!

WOW !! Talk about service… I was rushing like a mad woman trying to get stuff done for my son’s graduation party and everything last minute. I realized I needed my hair done for this event I was hosting. In desperstion I remembered of this salon in my neighborhood so I went there in a hurry. Yadira couldn’t of been any sweeter and took care of me right away. She gave me a fantastic cut in about 20 min. My hair had soo much volume and shine. I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks. Prices were great … Wash, Cut and Dry $ 25.00. The other place I used to go to $ 45.00 and it really wasn’t that great now that I see what Yadira has done for me. Thanks Orlando’s I will be back soon
