Taylor Trimmers

Have been going here for a number of years. Nikki is great! She gives very personalized attention to her regular customers, and goes out of her way to accommodate new walk-​in customers (from what I’ve seen during my twice-​a-​month two-​hour appointments). True, she does not accept credit cards (the fee for a small business drives the price pretty high, so I don’t blame her), but I don’t mind going to the ATM so I can continue to go to her to get my hair looking great, which I did not have before going to her. BTW, I live on the Gold Coast now, with lots of hotsy-​totsy salons, but I still love the experience I get going to Taylor Trimmers, and for a lot less bucks. Hubby says if he ever loses his barber, he will go here also. This place is a gem and a real keeper!

Just moved to Chicago and needed to find a reliable place to cut and style my hair. I am glad to say I have found the place! Nikki is amazing; very professional, skilled, and friendly. She gave me a consultation, personalized attention, and did a fabulous job with my hair (even improving the look of my bangs). I felt great about my whole experience here. This is definitely a place you can trust, reasonably-​priced for excellent work. Make sure to make an appointment, and cash only.

In my experience, Nikki is the best there is at cutting, coloring, and styling hair. On top of that, she’s a great person. I started going to her because she is near my work and I could go during lunch break. She has never let me down. Every haircut has been to my satisfaction and I am incredibly particular about haircuts. She also got my highlights exactly as I wanted them and she did my hair for my wedding and it looked amazing. She didn’t have availability on my wedding day but she rearranged her schedule to fit me in. That’s just the kind of gal she is. Over time, my work hours changed and I had a couple kids and it became difficult for me to get to her salon. So I tried a few other places and came to the conclusion that finding someone who can fill her shoes is more difficult than finding a way to fit a visit to her into my schedule. I went back to her and plan to keep going back.

Oh my gosh, I am so glad I found this place. I got a perfect haircut – in and out under 30 minutes. The stylist was so friendly and nice. Kinda mad I didn’t see this place sooner. Great place for a cut – check it out!

Nicki does my grandma’s hair regularly, and she did my wedding updo (more like a low-​do, it was a loose and low bun with little curls, but I digress). Moderately priced, friendly, sometimes you catch a whiff of smoke because I think most of the employees do it. Basically tell her what you want and she’ll do it for you, ’nuff said.
I’m not sure about the appointment thing. Seeing as I was coming in for a wedding updo she did make an appointment for me since its the kind of thing one does not leave up to chance. So I think if you emphasize that you’re gonna need it done at a certain time for a reason, they will make an appointment. BRING CASH — that’s the only brow-​furrowing point for me.

I love Taylor Trimmers and Nikki. Whenever I need to come in for a cut or color… she squeezes me in. I love how she cuts my hair and I always get many compliments on my hair. I hope she will be around forever.

Nikki is awesome. She listens, and she keeps good records so she knows what she did last time you came in. Fair prices. Highly recommended!

I have been going to this salon for almost 10 years now. I randomly came across it as a student in the late 90’s and have been a consistent customer since. There were times when I couldn’t get an appointment and I would take a chance and go somewhere else. I regretted it every single time. Now, as a physician, my schedule is even more chaotic. But, somehow Nikki always finds a way to squeeze me in whenever she can. If you want a great haircut from a place you can trust, this is the place to go to.

Great place for a do… the prices are moderate, not as bad as mario tricoci but not as cheap as supercuts. they dont’ take appointments so you have to try your luck but if you don’t have an urgent hair need its worth popping in periodically to see if they’re free!
