Pixie Salon

With Janice for 3 years! She is an amazing and talented stylist! So much fun to talk with and come out looking great after the whole cut n colour process! You can totally trust her with your style wants and needs!

Janice is a great stylist ! I have been getting my haircut with her for the past 3 years and I would not go anywhere else. She is so precise and meticulous when it comes to cutting hair. You will walk out the door feeling fabulous. I highly recommend her !

I searched high and low in the city for a new stylist. My best friend is one and had done my hair perfectly for years and I always let her do whatever she wants and I always end up loving it. I quickly found out that it’s not wise to just walk into any salon and give them the same freedom. After going to a few big name salon chains I finally did Unilocaling and found KP at Pixie. She’s awesome. I trust her completely to get my hair like whatever picture I bring in, or tell me if its not possible. A lot of people won’t give you that curiously, they’ll just do what they can and then leave you with whatever comes from it. Yesterday KP cut about 5″ and sheared, what felt like 10lbs, off my hair and I love it. It’s amazing, she’s amazing. Stop looking and book with her, today!

4 stars for hair styling.
3 stars for customer service and scheduling.
Since I seem to repeatedly have trouble to come in for a haircut, the 3 star rating takes precedent.
Of all the salons I’ve tried in Chicago, Pixie Salon has worked out the best for me. However, my irritation comes with the inability to contact and schedule an appointment in a timely manner.
I’ve worked with both Jorie and KP. I’ve had different haircuts with them but overall I was pretty happy with the outcome and thought their pricing was reasonable. However, I think an important thing about a stylist is that they be reliable and accessible. Just as much as you want a great haircut… you want to actually be able to come back to have it styled again! At pixie salon, you are required to contact them via their individual cell phone numbers and most of my communication was via text. For both stylists, I’d try to contact them about making an appointment and in the midst of trying to find a time that works for both of us, they’d stop responding. I actually switched stylist because I stopped hearing from the first. And after a successful cut from the second stylist, when I was about to come in to get a haircut… KP cancelled on me a few hours beforehand. I understand people get sick but that’s why when I contacted her a week later to schedule an appointment and didn’t receive a response. it was even more irritating. I then tried to contact Jorie later on to see if she can fit me in. no give.
I’m sorry but reliability and accessibility is important! What’s the point of finding a stylist who doesn’t respond or try to fit you into their schedule. My main stylist in San Francisco always is able to fit me in despite me only having a 1 – 3 day window period and I’ve always appreciated that. Getting my haircut in SF always seems like a hassle but so far it’s the best option for me after 5 years of living in Chicago.

Janice is my favorite stylist, she always takes her time and does a great job on the cut and color! Definitely give her a try!

Pixie Salon is the best! Go see Angela if you want the greatest haircut of your life. She’s consistently amazing, which is refreshing after having some nightmare experiences. The salon has great energy, and it’s easy to get an appointment.

Angela always does an amazing job with my cut. She’s pleasant to chat with and has a very accessible schedule. If you need a cut or color, Angela at Pixie is the winner!

Keeping my hair looking good continuously from the initial cut through the next cut as it grows out has always been a challenge. Angela has been successfully meeting that challenge for over 10 years now and I would not consider using anyone else. I hesitate to make personal recommendations to friends unless I am 100% sure of the quality and service they will receive — I never hesitate to recommend Angela and Pixie salon.

Being new to Chicago I had no idea where to go for a new hair look. The last time I got my hair done in Florida, the guy ruined it and made me scared to let anyone touch my hair for over 18 months. I went on Unilocal and saw amazing pictures and reviews for Kim P. When I showed up early to the salon, I saw Kim’s client getting wrapped up and her hair looked amazing. Kim P. was extra careful and talked me through everything she was doing so I would be more relaxed and comfortable about having my hair worked on again. She nailed it with the violet ombré and layered cut. I will definitely be going to her!

Pixie is excellent. I goto Angela but all of the stylists are fantastic. Not too pricey either!

Angela has been my hairdresser for 15 years. I LOVE her! I don’t even tell her what do with my hair I just let her do her thing. I always get TONS of compliments on my hair. Highly recommend!

This place rocks! It’s conveniently located, easy to make an appointment, has a relaxing vibe, and Angela always gives me a cut that leaves me with a little extra moxie.
It’s definitely a cool spot that caters to both men /​women.

My review is based on my first visit to Pixie Salon. I had scheduled my appointment with KP based on the pictures and reviews on Unilocal,and went in hoping to get a subtle ombré look with a few colorful pink and purple pieces. It was a Sunday afternoon and KP was absolutely wonderful. She listened to exactly what I wanted and worked with me every step of the way, explaining the process as she went. I am very particular about my hair and KP was so detail-​oriented that I felt very comfortable putting my hair in her hands… literally! With the amount of work that had to be done, my appointment lasted close to four hours and KP was so kind and welcoming the entire time. I was totally comfortable and will certainly be returning! If you are looking for a great colorist that really know what she’s doing and is in tune with the latest trends, KP is totally your girl!

It’s taken me three years to find a stylist in this city, but it was worth the wait. Kim Peterson is a gem! Seriously ladies… Kim will hook your hair game up. I got a very natural ombré and get so many compliments on my hair now. I have no idea what magic she pulled off but I am a loyal customer from now on. I will follow this woman anywhere she goes. Don’t hesitate to book an appointment here. You will not be disappointed!

I love Pixie Salon! There’s no doubt about it and I am positive that all of the stylists are excellent, but my reviews are for Kim Freyermuth.
Kim F. is the BOMB​.COM (as the kids say). I have been a client of hers for about 17 years, following her from Hair Cuttery on Clark, to Hair Cuttery on Milwaukee (where she was the manager), to all of the other salons she has worked at. I get so many compliments on my style and my color, that I wonder if I should believe them. lol Strangers stop me and compliment me, plus ask who does my hair, at least once a month’ if not more often. Kim F was the first stylist to give me highlights. She knows what is best for me and always gives me a cut that compliments me and my style, etc. Once she cut my hair and when I got home I said, «Oh no! All my hair is gone!» I felt it would grow back, but the next day I looked in the mirror, felt my hair, and realized it was absolutely perfect. I really, really do trust her with my hair cuts and color, not to mention her prices. They are comparable to other salons prices, if not better. THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE!
About three years ago I was ill and had a cholecystectomy. I was hospitalized for almost two months, but was really out of commission. After about six months my hair started thinning and I lost 70% of my hair. Kim F. came to my house, more than once, and did everything necessary to take care of my hair. She even tidied up my place. :-) She is up to date on all the new products and I had her give me the Keratin Treatment a few years ago, before I was ill. Pixie Salon use the very best products available. The girl is amazing!
Maybe people can find a stylist that can cut, color and maintain there locks, but not someone like Kim Freyermuth. She’s become one of my most loyal friends. I was hospitalized again in May ’14 and she surprised me by stopping by one Sunday afternoon to visit and stayed almost all evening. Not only can I count on her for an awesome hairstyle, I can count on her friendship. You’ll love her! Check her out and tell her Sheila sent you. You won’t be disappointed with Kim Freyermuth.

I have been on a search for a hair stylist for the longest and I thought I finally found one. I been wanting to dye my hair to get an ombré hair style. I read good reviews and I said what the heck.
I went in with Janice, I showed her the picture of what I wanted. After a few hours I was done, only to find out that my colors on my hair were backwards. It went from dark at my roots and mid way blond and then end of my hair dark ash blond. Janice notice the pattern and said to return so she can fix it. I gave her credit for letting me know she notice and offer to fix it. 3days later I go back, I’m looking forward to get it fix and getting what I wanted. So all is done and I just ended with a reddish color where my blond color was. After everything I still didn’t get my original hair color I wanted. I look at my hair and I get sad. But you live and learn. Not sure what I learn from this experience because once again I’m on a search.

I will follow Kim Peterson anywhere– seriously– if she moved to Antarctica I would be right there with her because my hair would be a mess without her. This girl knows her stuff– she is so smart with color and what works with complexion and texture and really listens to what you want. She is also full of suggestions depending on your face shape and ideal maintenance routine (or lack there of). She also happens to be a great person to chat with– so sweet and energetic. I would never leave her chair If it wasn’t for my new luscious locks that I can never wait to show off.
You should call Pixie Salon right now and book yourself some hair time with this girl– you will be SO glad you did.

I saw Kim Peterson at Pixie last night for a hair cut and color, and I cannot praise her enough for the fabulous job she did! I was nervous to try a new hair stylist after having gone to the same one for quite some time, but I am so glad I did! Kim was SO friendly and worked with me to get the exact color and hair cut/​style that I was looking for. On top of that, she even rearranged her schedule to get me in on super short notice. VERY rarely, if ever, do I write reviews of places I have been, however Kim did such a great job I just had to! I will definitely be back! Thanks Kim!

Pixie is nice — but this review is for Steph!!! LOVE her. She absolutely saved me when I had a major hair burnout (literally). You can see my post for Salon Trendz. I’ve been going to Steph for several years now and she always gives me exactly what I ask for, and if it’s a little off, she fixes it immediately. She is my lifesaver. If you need a stylist who actually listens to what you want, and what will work for your hair type, you need Steph! I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

I have lived in Chicago for 5+ years and I finally found my go to girl… JORIE!
I went to Pixie for the first time last year due to the great reviews on Unilocal and I never looked back (been going for almost a year now!). Jorie does such a wonderful job on my color and an equally amazing job on my cuts! I recently decided after I got married to get a bob (big decision) and I cant tell you how many compliments I get. The cut is amazing and so easy to style.
I wouldnt be able to deal with Jorie ever moving away so she better just stay right here in Chicago so I can have fabulous hair for the rest of my life!
