Trianon

Finally found an amazing salon that looks amazing and stylish inside and it has the best customer service.
Pam their master colorist is the best colorist in town.
If she can get my blond right she can get yours.

Tara is fantastic with color. I first went to the salon for some corrective color, after going to a cheaper stylist who really did a terrible job, leaving crazy color streaks and a bleached blonde base. She fixed my color and just really knows what she’s doing. With blonde hair, I had always been to stylists that used toner because my hair would turn out brassy, and I thought this was the norm, but Tara has never had to use this on me as the color comes out properly. I also have had 2 hair cuts from Abby, who is also great. I’ve had cuts for the same price that took all of 10 minutes, but she really took the time to go over my hair and make sure it was even and perfect. The salon itself is nice, simple, not snobby or too loud, with friendly experienced stylists. To the reviewer who said they are uppity, how would you know, considering you’ve never been there! It’s not a cheap salon, but as I learned the hard way after going to a cheaper stylist who fried my hair, you get what you pay for. They also have a line of hair products from Italy that I’ve never seen at any other salon.

Everytime I come here I find the whole experience just a really enjoyable one — from the quality of the work done by the stylists (I had Tara for color & Abby for cut — both are awesome) to just the general vibe of the salon and the way it’s run. I always enjoy my time here and when I return home to CA I always get compliments on my hair! I literally schedule a visit to the Trianon every time I’m in Chicago (3 – 4 times a year).

I went back for the second time and I am so happy. The atmosphere is so cozy and relaxing. No attitude or screaming dance tracks. Pam did fabulous color for me and Abby spent all kinds of time on my cut. Hope they are around forever because I’ve found a home!

After moving to a new city the last thing on my mind was fixing my bad DIY dye job that was completely faded and growing out, however after months and some bad roots it couldn’t be ignored any longer. I had booked an early morning appointment with John who was amazing. I’m pretty sure I was still half asleep but after briefly walking him through what I wanted he was able to exactly match the color I had in mind. The salon is beautiful (no seriously… whoever decorated it can you come to my apartment?), the head massage I received when my hair was being washed was out of this world and the staff was all beyond friendly. Even though it might be a little pricier than I’d like to spend on my hair it was 100% worth it!

Pam does the best color for blondes! I am always getting compliments on my hair color. She is super sweet and the salon is so cute! I highly recommend this salon!

They are «upity». Obviously I didn’t fit their «type» and they never called me back when I wanted another color. If you are of upper class, they love you. other wise, your money is worthless… lost a possible faithful customer here. If you «reek» of wealth, you will do fine.

My old hairstylist had moved and I’ve been to several other stylist/​colorist for months searching for someone as good as the one I had. I was about to give up and just rock my grey hair but decided to give it another try. My search is over!!!
My best friend recommended John at Trianon. Let just say that I am beyond impressed! Trianon is small but very welcoming. Everyone there seems extremely pleasant. I was greeted by David at the front desk wit a smile (which always goes a long way for me).
John did an AMAZING job on my color! Seriously hands down the best! He listens and takes his time. He is meticulous in his work and it shows. I highly recommend if you’ve never been to Trianon you MUST go and experience John’s magic!
TEAM JOHN!

Great salon. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the city. Abby cuts my hair and Tara colors it and both have been really wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone. Last visit I got one of the more expensive keratin treatments and I just washed my hair for the first time today and it’s everything they said it would be. Took minutes to dry and none of the terrible curly frizz in normally have. Didn’t even have to turn on the flat iron, for the first time in years! Keep up the great work.

Jenn (with help from John) made my dreams come true by taking my hair from dark brown to completely lavender today! I’m so amazingly satisfied. They were super patient and careful to keep the damage to a minimum. Jenn got the color PERFECT and I couldn’t be more pleased! Easily one of the best hair experiences I’ve had.

Love Tara! Perfect color every time.

Mary Beth definitely rocks — and came to my rescue. Will continue to see her from here on out. Well worth the trip and find. Wasnt happy after going to Paul Mitchell on Halsted and wasting 2 hours just to be told that they couldnt and wouldnt do what I was asking. Mary Beth took into consideration what I wanted to accomplish and we came pretty close. We will continue till we get it where I want it but she jumped in to help. I highly recommend her and the salon. Thanks Mary Beth and Pam (salon owner)

I used to go to NYC for hair cut and highlights. No longer necessary. This shop rivals the best in the Big Apple. You can’t miss with John for color and Ed, the co-​owner, for cut. They are both fantastic. Stylists, models, fashion editors and in sophisticated clients who know the value of great hair, rely on them. Shop itself is a gem as well.

You know how sometimes you meet someone who is clearly an expert in what they do, and they’re super impressive and you feel lucky to benefit from all that experience and knowledge? Well, John at Trianon is that person.
John is an amazingly talented colorist and just a delight to spend a few hours with. He talked with me about what I wanted to fix (grays, a grown out box dye-​job that left my dark brown hair reddish at the ends) and walked me through what he was doing as it was happening. I am IN LOVE with the results of a few hours in his chair… subtle, lovely highlights and an overall color that looks natural, only prettier. I’m excited to have found a colorist, and a place, that’s elegant, low key and relaxing.

Mary Beth is awesome!
I am a natural blonde with fine hair, that dyes my hair red and I have had some not great results in the past… until I found Mary Beth. Mary Beth is extremely knowledgeable and honest with what will work and what won’t. I always walk out feeling beautiful, polished and ready to take on the world. I would recommend her to anyone hands down.
Also, Abby is fantastic for a cut and the salon itself is kind and accommodating.
Definitely give them a try… you will love it.

Mary Beth is the greatest! I dye my hair black and I’m a natural blonde. Weird things have happened in the past with other colors, like bright orange roots! Mary Beth knows exactly how to deal with my hair and my color comes out perfect every time. She’s also super funny and very smart, so sitting in her chair for an hour isn’t awkward at all. She gives me great advice about what to do with my hair, and we just have fun talking while the color processes. The experience at Trianon is great, thanks to Mary Beth!

A HUGE thank you to Noah for magnificent haircut experience. I felt welcomed and pampered from the moment I walked in. He was willing to work with me to decide what would look best for my hair. Extremely pleased with the outcome!
Definitely recommend Noah to anyone who asks.

Mary Beth is awesome!
I was excited to use my GILT City highlights package but nervous about going to a new colorist. The second I saw Mary Beth I knew I was going to be okay. She really listens to the type of look that you are going for, and does her very best to create it. She is extremely knowledgeable… about color, hair health, and what looks good on clients. Almost better than her work is her personality! Mary Beth is a breath of fresh air and it was hard to leave the salon because I just kept wanting to chat with her!
Trianon is a nice salon… great location in Lincoln Park and the front desk is kind and accommodating. I would recommend this salon and definitely Mary Beth!

I hate finding a new hairstylist. But after moving to Chicago last year, I didn’t really have an option.
Fortunately, I lucked out on my first try when Nicole at Trianon cut my hair. The salon itself is super clean and pretty. The girl who works at the front desk is so nice. In fact, everyone there is nice. The staff isn’t gossipy or catty… just a lot of friendly people.
I’m pretty picky about my hair. It’s long and layered. And easy to screw up (believe me, it’s happened before and it isn’t pretty). Nicole has cut my hair 3 times and every time has been so wonderful!
Although the salon isn’t incredibly cheap, it’s certainly worth spending $ ²⁰⁄₃₀ more than your average Chicago haircut for some really good hair. Everyone I’ve seen leaving the salon has looked great… I highly recommend Trianon!

Got an absolutely excellent haircut a couple of weeks ago from stylist in training, Noah. Went in looking for a curly asymmetrical bob and got just what I was hoping for. Cut off nearly 2 years of growth (I’d only had my hair trimmed since my wedding in 2011) and ended up with a super versatile style that’s just long enough to pull back on hot days but keeps most of my hair off of my neck. It looks great air dried curly but can be styled into big, soft, glam waves with almost no effort. I’m so happy with it.
The process takes a little longer with a new stylist but there’s a master stylist there for direction at all times and Noah was friendly and great to work with. He definitely knows what he’s doing. Getting a decent style with curly hair is nearly impossible for under $ 90 in Chicago so I was amazed. I’ll definitely be going back to him once he gets a chair and starts booking clients.
