Brett Ponder

Brett has cut my hair for over 10 years– I trust no one else! He is supremely talented, understanding, professional, and meticulous. It is a pleasure to talk wit him; he’s personable but low key. Brett’s a great guy and totally reliable. I can’t think of another business I’ve been loyal for this long– I’m a fairly practical guy when it comes to business/​service– but I would NEVER consider switching away from Brett.

Brett Ponder gives, hands down, the best hair cut in Chicago. He’s professional, a nice conversationalist and amazing with hair. He spends a full 40 minutes cutting my hair, and he is an absolute perfectionist in getting it perfect. I have been a client of his for over 10 years and I have never left disappointed.
Brett Ponder comes with my highest recommendation. He is a master at womens hair.

Brett at Tsubo is the best!!! Healthy looking, fabulous hair — need I say more. If you want someone who is talented and in the business for years… this is your guy. He is the one who fixes the mistakes of the cheap cuts on Groupon and color disasters. Brett is also a trainer who teaches other salons how to do color. He actually listens and can make your hair look awesome!

I have been visiting Brett for over 6 years now, and each time I come out of his chair with spectacular, natural-​looking highlights and a cut that doesn’t break the bank. He is affordable, his schedule is easy to work with as he works evening hours, and he is extremely attentive to every last detail.
As a dirty blonde, I am very picky about my highlights and coloring. Brett always delivers on making my highlights appear very natural, and I get compliments on my hair even after I haven’t been to the salon in 2 or 3 months. His coloring skill ensures that my outgrowth isn’t obvious, which I love because I don’t go all too often.
Tsubo, the salon, is also great. Its got the vibe of a loft which makes it trendy but also very relaxing. Free parking out front in their lot is also a huge plus. If you’re looking for a great stylist, look no further. Brett does it all!

Brett is an awesome stylist. He is talented and professional, up to date on the latest trends and products, attentive to detail and pleasant to talk to.
