Supercuts

The salon is nice and clean, and that’s about it. My hair cut was nothing like I explained, nothing like the stylist said she will do, and last but not least nothing like the picture i showed her.
I went for a haircut, the lady seemed nice, but… I showed her a picture of how i wanted my haircut to look, tho she made a remark that she didint like long hair on me, i thought it wasn’t any of her business. Well, she cut away my hair and to my surprise it was so short! I only went for a «Trim“and shapeup not an entire haircut. The haircut she gave me was the one she wanted not the one i asked for! looks nothing like the picture i showed her.
I would NOT recommend this place, because you should get the haircut you ask for and not the one the person cutting hair wants. Too bad I can’t give them zero stars. Never going back.

I went there last week. I hate it. She doesn’t know how to cut hair and i paid $ 40
Bad haircut ever !!!
Not recommend!’

Went in for a haircut, and when I got home, noticed that it was quite a bit shorter on one side than the other. Went back to get it fixed by a different stylist, and she also cut it unevenly. Then, when I pointed out that one side was still longer than the other, she agreed, but seemed quite confused that I would want my hair to be the same length on both sides. Never going back.

DeLois is a SUPERSTAR!
I originally went to an Aveda salon to get my hair trimmed. I left with choppy, uneven facial layers?! I ran to Super Cuts around the corner and told DeLois my story. Not only did she sit me down then & there. She fixed the horrible mess that someone else created. I know it’s hard to fix a bad cut. but she did :)
Very friendly staff. Will continue to go here from now on!

Brought my son in for an 11.95 haircut and walked out a happy camper. We were in and out quickly and the lady who did his hair was a sweety pie. No complaints here.

I’ve been to the various discount Hair Salons in Lake View and Lincoln Park and I feel that this one by far is the best. The location is clean and I feel the staff is courteous efficient and do a very good job. I have 2 regular persons who cut my hair here and they always do an excellent job. I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews for this location.

I have gone to «cheap» salons before with no problems most my life. I just created a Unilocal account just so I may warn people against this place and a women named Delouse. I just got the worst F-​ing hair cut of my life. First off I am use to more back and fourth before the scissors start clipping. I had to say LONG LAYERS four times and she never asked how much I want off. I had to stop here after her first cut to show her. At that point its now to late. I asked for a simple layer and a swoop across my bangs. After that she started cutting again going on and on about how I have to keep my hair healthy and saying my hair was thin and dry that’s why it was tangling in her comb. My hair is NOT thin or dry. She was snatching me bald is what she was doing. I was raised by a single father I am not tender headed. now its time for my bangs she sprayed me in the face with water twice like I was a cat on the drapes. She did one big snip and I was done. I have no layers she only cut out the center of my pre-​existing bang leaving out the sides of them. i can see the scissor marks in my hair like I had cut it myself. So now not only do I have a poor excuse for a hair cut but i look like I am a kindergarten er that got Bored and went at my hair with blue safety scissors. You may ask why i did not stop her or why I didn’t ask to have it fixed. I didn’t because I don’t think any of the women in that place could have done better. My sister and a friend was there with me. They received disappointing hair cuts as well. My sister who is much boss yer then me was correcting the girl who was cutting her hair like it was training. Save your self some time and money drive a few more blocks and find another cheap quick place to get your hair cut. once again I have never had a problem with «cheap» salons but this one is god awful and I really do hope it goes out of business.

I should have known better than to think that a $ 15 haircut was going to make me look like I got a $ 75 one… lesson learned! I came here on a random Sunday and there was no one in the store… that should have been red flag number one considering it sits in the middle of a strip mall. But I ignored this and talked to the lady at the front counter, she was young and seemed to know what she was talking about. I asked for a trim because I like the length of my hair and so she started cutting. I told her my hair was straightened but that I’m naturally curly, she said she needed to cut my hair while it was straight because it would be harder to get the cut I want if she cut it after she shampooed my hair… (flag #2 — wth was she talking about, ‘cut I wanted’ It was a trim!)
Yes I have a few layers in my hair but its not that complicated to the ladies at Regis, they always cut my hair after shampoo with no trouble at all and it looks great!
So onto the cut, which was a lot of fluffing up my hair and snip, and fluff and snip, and fluff and snip, etc. At the end of ten minutes she was done… I looked at it and saw that it looked exactly the same as it did when I came in… and not any shorter, I seriously didn’t see a difference. I asked her if she could cut it more, give me more layers and… fluff and snip, fluff and snip… and voila, same sh**.
So basically, I left the store with the same cut I had, not any shorter and I examined my ends… and guess what, I still had split ends! A good sylist would have told me she needed to cut down x amount of hair to remove the split ends and would have had noticeable layers. My hair looks dull, long and out of shape. Never again!

It’s weird to give Supercuts a good review, but I found a diamond in the rough. Alma is a fantastic stylist and always keeps me looking trimmed. I’ve been here a few times and found that if you vary from Alma you are rolling the dice with your dew. From now on if I go here I’ll stick to her.

You would think a trim wouldn’t be that difficult, but possibly something to save a little money on? WRONG! I understand supercuts is not a «top notch» place to get your hair done but seriously… i went in there with a picture of a girl with strawberry blonde hair with blonde highlights. i walked out with black hair and bangs cut to the middle of my forehead on one side and long bangs on the other side of my face… WOW i hate my choice to go here. if u do go here DO NOT GO TO THE BLONDE GIRL WITH GLASSES!

First, I want to preface by saying I understand it’s a matter of WHO, and not WHERE, you get your hair cut, but I just got one of the worst cuts I’ve had in years at Supercuts. I’m actually really laid back about my hair, but I have a few things I know I like. I just went in for a trim, and although I explained exactly what I wanted a few times, the woman clearly didn’t listen, as I watched her do exactly what I’d asked her not to. At one point, she actually grabbed one section of hair + held it for a while, scissors hovering, saying «Hmm…how am I gonna go at this?» while I looked on in horror. In the end, I came out with a chop job that looks like 3 different cuts rolled into one… and all I wanted was a trim.
I would say that if you DO go here, make sure you know who you’re getting as a stylist. I think I’ll have to find a new place to go tomorrow to get this mess fixed, now.

I stopped into this Supercuts for a quick eyebrow waxing. The place my friend recommended (Paris Nails… right across the street from me) was closed… and my brows needed help! These places are always risky, but I was willing to give it a try. I stuck out like a sore thumb being the only female waiting for service. Well, the risk paid off-​the woman did a great job on my brows. She didn’t over wax and she was quick. Plus it only cost $ 8. Can’t beat that!

Wow, that’s interesting. It certainly never applied to the Supercuts at Lincoln & Peterson, where I first encountered my now-​regular hairdresser. I know that franchise businesses have to maintain a certain «uniformity of product» but I was never asked to name a «number“from a list of standard haircuts. On the contrary, my beautician studied my face and head structure and cut my hair so as to be the most flattering, just like an «upscale» hairdresser.
Maybe the pressure to conform to a corporate image drove her (and some other good ones I used to encounter at S.C.) to finally open up her own place.

This place cracks me up. Why do I keep going there? I have no idea. Every time my hubby and I go get a hair cut we get someone else who doesn’t speak English. You neame it and they speak it. My hubby wanted a faux hawk and got a mohawk LOL. Then I wanted a graduated bob and now I have a 8 year old girl bob. The whole time the girl was cutting my hair she kept telling me how hot my husband was (after she asked if he was my son I might add) which I felt very uncomfortable about. We are only 7 years apart and I am not that old! I need to find a new place.

People buy from people, not from businesses. That is the reason I go to this Super Cuts about every three weeks to get a trim. There is a very talented hair guy there named Lauro who told me the first time I visited, «…I make you look sexy, ok?», and he does consistently every time. I had been going to a few salons downtown and just thought one day, «why am I paying $ 60-​$ 80 for a hair cut when I wear my hair so short.» I’m literally in the chair for 10 minutes tops. My hair always looks the same and I never get the free beer or champagne I see all the girls drinking when they are doing a dye job or something.
This Super Cuts is located in a big shopping center, neighbors to Pier 1 and Jewel. Parking is easy and readily available. It’s just like another Super Cuts in the city and you sometimes have to wait for a chair. No use making an appointment as it has never made a difference in my wait time.
I’m not a big fan of the Super Cuts coprorate policy that they should not keep the customer in the chair for too long. Where this may maximize profitability for the franchise, the customers end up having the same haircut and does not allow the hair dresser artistic freedom. I once asked an employee at another locating why this was. They told me that much like the Pizza Hut guy is taught how to make pizza that are consistant every time, the «hair cut school» teaches you one or two ways to cut hair. This way quality can be controlled and maintained corporate wide. The first thing asked as you sit in the chair and they drape the big plastic apron over you is «what number». This means what number would you like your hair cut today. If you are a Super Cuts customer you will know what I mean.
Lauro is cool and will take his time, really pay attention to how you request your hair cut, and actually make you look your best. Tell Lauro I sent you.
