Cellar Door Salon & Studio

I adore Cellar Door. Everything from their mission– very gentle to the earth basically (a green circle salon), to their actual talented stylists who are all friendly, and great listeners during consultation. The welcoming, zen/​artsy setting is great as well. It’s very vintagey. And Jordy, at the front desk is the best!
I feel as though cellar door salon is fully aware of paying detailed attention to every step of the process. Got kids? or wanna make a big leap& want someone fun to help that idea come to life beautifully? Pixie is a blast& does a splendid job every time! Need to look like a mermaid, Hannah has got chu covered.
Need a wicked, seamless haircut&color, Alicia and Kerri have got you. Want someone who pays close attention to detail but is super chill? That sounds like Amy. The rest of the crew is great too!!! Thanks for a great experience every time and taming my lions mane.

Joslyn is absolutely amazing! She fixed a botched balayage I received at another salon and made my hair color look natural and just great overall. She always puts in a lot of effort into haircuts and color processes and you can tell she really cares and is passionate about doing a good job. She genuinely wants to make sure you’re happy with the haircut and color. She’s also a great person to discuss any game of thrones theories you have.

First time Cellar Door and now I will never go anywhere else! Thank you Jocelyn for the amazing cut and for the lessons on how to style my hair!

This review has been long overdue! My first impression of the salon was very comforting! I didn’t feel out of place, which isn’t always the case at every salon! I had the daunting task of cutting the majority of my hair length due to a really bad ombré I received at another salon. Jocelyn really listened to what I needed. Jocelyn was able to not only find a haircut that matched my needs but also would coincide with the typical care I give to my hair. I don’t typically style my hair so she was able to give me an incredible cut that was truly low maintenance. At the end of the cut, she took the time to show me a few tips and tricks of how to style my new haircut due to the drastic length difference. I would say that’s the first time a stylist has taken the time to show me how to handle a new haircut and it honestly made the world of difference. Jocelyn really showed me she cared about how I felt in my new haircut and made sure I was happy! i had the best experience at Cellar Door!

Went here based solely on other Unilocal reviews and the overall feel of the salon, and could not be happier with the results. Jocelyn was able to see me for a full balayage on fairly short notice and the results are even better than I hoped for. She was very thorough in explaining her thoughts and what would work (and look best) based on my current hair color and condition, and took my head to a gorgeous blonde. I get compliments on it constantly and really love the look and feel. The atmosphere is great, very friendly and everyone looks as though they’re enjoying themselves. Very diverse clientele and the prices are very fair for the high quality service. As of now, I wouldn’t go anywhere else but Cellar Door and Jocelyn!

I usually do not like getting my hair done — it takes forever and making small talk with some stylists is no fun. I absolutely love going to Cellar Door! Hanna is fantastic and a pleasure to be around. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. I have never liked my hair more than the past couple of years I have been going here. I have recommended many friends — male and female — to Cellar Door. Outstanding place!

This place is amazing. Hannah is a true artist. She takes time to sit down and talk with you about your hair from what you like and don’t like to your morning routine. She even explains the science behind hair coloring and how the hair products they use work. I always walk out with great looking hair and tips to keep it looking better longer. She shampooers, the bringers of beer and sometimes the finishers of the blow dry are great women too. Always taking care of you to make sure you’re always comfortable with a magazine, drink, or whatever else you need. There’s never any push to buy product but they are always willing to recommend things if you something. Cannot recommend Hannah or this salon enough. Doesn’t hurt they are within walking distance of my house.

Love this salon! Hanna is a hair genius. I followed her here from Streets of London salon on Diversey. Cellar Door has a great atmosphere, the staff is great and make you feel really welcome by taking your coat and offering you a drink (or PBR!) when you arrive. Everyone runs on time too which is really nice. I think the prices are really reasonable and all of the stylists are really talented. Easy street meter parking as well. Love this place!

While they are good-​time is money. I was there for 3 hours and 20 minutes for a haircut and partial highlights. Left exhausted and disappointed. Debating whether to search for a new salon. I like the people and the atmosphere but I just don’t have that much time to get my haircut each time!
Update — the manager of the salon reached out and explained that color treatment has come a long way over the years and unfortunately, for some of the best results, takes more time. They are passionate about their process, which I love them for. So I will just have to adjust my expectations for any color treatment… They were very accommodating and apologized for the wait that was within their control. I will go back for haircuts, maybe for high-​lights because I like their team that much…

Hanna gave me probably the best haircut I’ve ever had! Before she got down to business she asked me a ton of questions and then used all my answers to somehow bring together everything in perfect magic hairdo harmony. I don’t think I can trust my hair to anyone else ever again!

I see Hannah for cut and color and she, along with everyone else in the studio are just great! Hannah knows her stuff, always sits down to talk to you before you get started, and is just fun to chat with and be around. Everyone else in the salon is super nice as well, and there is just a really warm, welcoming atmosphere. They stands are refurbed vanities and I am in love with them — all unique and full of character. They rotate art, have good and a variety of music playing. I can usually get in withing a week or two, and I leave loving my hair every time. Such a great salon, and I know how tough it can be to find a good place! Look no further! :)

I’d had my hair cut here once before and was perfectly happy but when I made my second appointment I decided to go with another stylist. That decision led me to the best hair of my life. GO SEE HANNA NOW. No Joke, this girl is amazing.
I went in on a Saturday afternoon for a cut and followed up on Sunday with balyage and all over color. My hair is thick, wavy, and long and I am fully aware how much of a pain it can be. Hanna listened to what I wanted and also gave me so much advice on my hair. The cut turned out perfectly and she lightened my hair without loosing length or adding a ton of choppy layers.
The next day I wandered in so hungover it should be illegal and Hanna started the 4 hour process of coloring my hair to PERFECTION! I brought a couple of ideas and she took that and turned it in to exactly what would look best for me. She does not treat your hair like hair but like art, which is probably why her work turns out so fantastic.
.All the girls in this place, treat you like you are one of a kind. Top Notch Service! Also, the PBR I sipped helped my hangover melt away. If your salon doesn’t offer you a drink, they’re doing it wrong. Cellar Door you have gained a new client for the long haul (or as long as you keep Hanna)

I’ll start off by saying… Jen Beyers is a genius! I had never had balayage before, and thanks to Jen, I’m a convert. She did an amazing job. In just a few days, I’ve already received numerous compliments on the color.
Also, Jen really knows how to cut and shape long hair. I’m not exaggerating when I say that she transformed my hair. With long hair, it’s normally so heavy, but Jen managed to keep length while still lightening up the weight of it. She was very patient and detail-​oriented. I can’t wait for my next appointment.
It’s also worth noting that everyone at the salon was very friendly, which I appreciated. Highly, highly recommend!

Where do I start? Well, I hadn’t had a real hair cut by a professional in over 3 years. Prior to that I was very picky with who touched my hair and where I went. I was in need of a haircut like last month type of deal. I called a lot of different places and no luck everyone was booked. I was determined to get a hair cut and after all the great reviews on here I called to make an appointment and voila I was seen the same say which I was thrilled about ! Pixie oh Pixie i have found a hair stylist that I will Def comeback to ! She gave me the best cut of my life and it was absolutely everything I envisioned. I showed her some pictures on Pinterest and she took it from there. I feel like a completely new person and Pixie is to blame for (a good blame) she did an amazing job! Thank you! If you’re looking for a cut that will rock your world this is the place to go !!!

I wish I had something snarky to say, but this place is absolutely fantastic. Everyone at the salon is genuinely warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Pixie has given me a cut a few times, and every time it’s always better than what I could articulate.
I’m so happy the shop is doing so well, it’s well deserved!

I’m on the other side of the country and my hair is missing the shit out of Hanna! All the girls are lovely. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else (not even in California) for something edgy that will receive a million compliments.
Love that you guys are doing so well! Hope to see you again soon xx

I’ve been searching for a hair salon in Chicago and I am extremely happy that I found this place via gilt city & Unilocal!I went in today (that’s how eager and happy I am!) and got the most awesome haircut and color ever. I saw Hannah. Great personality. Great stylist. Very talented. I will admit, I was a little worried about getting my hair all chopped off but I’m glad I did. The color wasn’t what I expected… it was actually better than what I had envisioned! Being asian, no one has ever achieved the blonde I’ve been searching for.
My boyfriend also went there for a men’s haircut two days prior to me, and he really liked it. Felt very comfortable there. They offer you beer, mimosa, water, etc. He saw Pixie! He said she explained how to style his hair and took time on it. (I also love her color and cut!)
Since I was there for 3 hours, I was able to see all the work the other stylists did and I loved all of the looks. So, do yourselves a favor and check out this salon!

Came in to make an appointment with Kerri and see a friend who was getting her hair done. The space is awesome and they offer you a beer while you wait. I am looking forward to my cut later this week! I will update my review with the results and added experience.

You can’t go wrong with Catherine! She has been my stylist for six years, and she is truly the best. Here are my reasons for going to her for so long:
1. I am always beyond happy with every haircut she’s given me.
2. She is super easy to talk to and very down-​to-​earth.
3. She does not try to push or guilt-​trip me into buying additional product.
I am really glad that she is at this salon now. The environment of Cellar Door is way more inviting, comfortable, and laid back compared to the previous.
Go make an appointment to see Catherine!

I have a confession to make.
I have found the best hair stylist.
Her name is Hannah… and I like her so much that I have STALKED her.
Okay, here is the story before you get creeped out.
I first met Hannah last year when she worked at Streets of London salon. I needed a trim and my regular salon couldn’t take me. So I took a chance on Hannah. And seriously, she is the BEST. I saw her a couple times at Streets of London and then about a month ago I called to make an appointment with her to CHOP my long hair to my chin.
They told me she didn’t work there anymore.
WHHHHHATTTTT?
They wouldn’t tell me where she was. I had no way of finding Hannah. I google’d the heck out of her. But I didn’t know her last name. The old salon wouldn’t give me any information. So then, I made an appointment at a different salon and a new stylist to chop off my hair.
And then…
The hair god’s smiled on me. I found Hannah! She moved salons. I was able to get in right away with her!!!
So yea, she is the best/​coolest stylist ever. I let her chop my hair to my chin and got it colored. A month and a half later, I am still getting NON STOP compliments. Yes, she is THAT good. And she is a sweetheart.
Go see her. She is the best. And Hannah… you better not switch salons again before telling me!!!
