In the spring of 2017, two hairstylists met due to their passion for the hair industry. They soon discovered that they both had the same goals of someday owning and operating a boutique hair salon that focused on the client's experience. In the spring of 2019, those dreams became a reality and J & CO Hair Studio was born.

The studio was founded on an emphasis in continued education to stay up to date on the most modern trends and techniques. Maintaining the health and integrity of the hair is our top priority, while also making our guests feel as though they are in their second home. We hope you absolutely love J & CO Hair Studio.

I can't rave enough of the absolutely positive experience I had at this hair salon! I just asked Siri for nearest salons near me and I'm so happy I chose J & CO Hair Salon! Nelson did an excellent shampoo and blowout! I loved the decor, the welcoming atmosphere and cleanliness. Plus I was pleasantly surprised with a $20.00 discount for being a first time customer! Highly recommend this salon! Will be a returning customer!

I did not like it. The managers were not helpful and very rude. We showed them the photo on what i wanted my hair to look like but they did the complete opposite . We told the managers that i did not like my hairstyle and want them to refund my money and they said no and it costs $ 300 and wasted my time and money. So i do not recommend this place. This place is not worth to go to.

I went to see Alaina for the second time since the pandemic & she did not disappoint once again. She also cut my 8 year old daughters hair this time (which was her first time ever getting a professional haircut as I’ve always been the one to cut her hair at home). My daughter is soooo in love with her hair. She doesn’t stop telling me over and over “mommy I love my new haircut” lol.
Alaina never cuts more than what I ask & always confirms again before she even makes the first cut. (Which is very nice & reassuring since I’ve had bad experiences with hairdressers cutting more than what

Nelson is a magical color genius who totally saved my hair. I was in town for two weeks from LA- where I just had my hair color ruined- a splotchy, bright yellow, horrifying blonde. I was literally embarrassed to go outside and needed it fixed ASAP. I was staying in Bucktown and reached out to the salon, and Nelson kindly asked for photos so she could thoughtfully assess the damage and see what my hair goals were. She was able to fit me in that week, and lo and behold- she TRANSFORMED my hair into beautiful, dimensional, healthy blonde locks. Not to mention she has the best attitude ever and we

Had my hair cut for the first time since before the pandemic and since moving to the area. Alaina was wonderful - great attention to detail, excellent communication about the plan for the cut, very pleasant and fun experience overall. The salon is lovely, welcoming you with snacks and beverages, loved it!!

I followed Nelson to this salon and do not regret it! Nelson has been doing my hair for the past 4 years. She’s creative, considerate, but stern in the most ethical way in which leaves your hair so healthy. i trust her fully with all my hair and beauty concerns. so it was a no brainer following her to j & co. the shop is super cute and intimate. plus the shop manager, teddy, is easy on the eyes 😍

Kaylan has been doing my hair for the past three years. She has taken my hair lighter over the last few visits and I couldn’t be happier! The salon has such a great vibe! The staff is friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend!

J & CO was an awesome find! I went to Alaina for a big chop and she nailed it - listened to exactly what I wanted, kept checking in on how the length and layers felt along the way, and styled it just how I like to wear it. I love the cut that I walked away with. They have a great deal for new clients, communicated parking options and detailed COVID requirements in advance, and it's a cute and cozy space for a beauty boost.

Nelson has been my stylist for 5+ years and I will follow her to the end of the earth! She is the only stylist that has ever made me feel so pretty & I am at ease in her chair knowing she is an absolute master of her craft. You can tell talking to her she has a huge passion for hair & is always keeping me trendy.

The salon felt so safe with Covid & it is like walking into a magazine, so gorgeous & cute in there! I truly don't need a haircut as often as I get one I just love any excuse to go to J&Co and see Nelson to get that beauty pick me up I need!

I'm lucky to have found such a great spot in the neighborhood for a glossy hair cut and color. The salon is clean, bright and friendly. The offer you a beverage as you enter and get settled. The stylist are super friendly, do beautiful work and always make sure you're satisfied. This salon really goes the extra mile!

Firstly, the studio is gorgeous. Second, I've been seeing Kaylan for almost 2 years already and it has been a progressive process with me getting to my desired blonde. My goal was to eventually get to a blonde shade and I met her when I had my natural color black. These pictures showcase a product of the lightest we've ever done. It's been such a joy sitting in her chair experimenting on my indecisiveness of hair color inspirations from Chrissy Teigen to a bunch of other Pinterest ideas. Every time I get my hair done by Kaylan I feel like a brand new woman and am incredibly happy

This was an amazing find! I'm living in Iowa and used to schedule my trips to Chicago around visiting a specialist for my medical condition. Now I schedule my Dr appointments around my hair visits with talented Nelson at J&CO Hair Studio!! ( @nelsonmakespeoplepretty )

Didn’t book with the main gals, which was maybe my mistake. It’s a beautiful salon with a cute puppy. But I’m so sad after my experience. I’ve been growing my hair out for my wedding and specified a trim .. an inch and half to two at most. I walked out with closer to 4 gone. I have before and after pics but am too sad with how much I wish I had kept the before. It’s a great place, but if you want to keep your length perhaps be very very specific.

I’ve passed J&Co for weeks and couldn’t get over how cute it looked so I took a leap and tried them out! I was paired with Alaina and she did an absolutely incredible job! I can’t remember a time I’ve loved my hair this much, if ever! After being stuck in quarantine and 8 months post-baby, I couldn’t be more thankful to feel this beautiful. Thank you Alaina! Definitely consider me a new reoccurring client :)

After getting my hair done with Jess there is no going back!! She is always willing to tackle my Rapunzel hair and gives the best advice. Jess listens to my vague hair ideas, provides suggestions and creates magic! I look forward to every appointment!
I am also in love with the Salon. Great location, clean and open. It's a 10 out of 10. I would recommend this Salon to all everyone!

So excited I found my new hair salon! I came across J&Co on yelp when I was looking for somewhere in my new neighborhood so I need to give back and say that the reviews are absolutely true. The salon is GORGEOUS and so wonderfully styled. Nice couches and water, coffee, tea, white claw, or beer were offered. My appointment was with Kaylan and she was wonderful. She listened to what I wanted, a couple of inches off to get rid of the dead ends and bring up my layers. She did exactly that And there was no miscommunication at all. I'm so so happy with how my hair turned out. Blowout looks

Jess completely TRANSFORMED my hair. I came in with two pictures and a vague idea of what I wanted. She listened, provided suggestions, and exceeded every expectation I had. I've gotten endless compliments on my balayage since. I can't speak highly enough about her skill, dedication to the customer experience, and attention to detail- all of which are evident while she works.

The shop is bright, clean, and as welcoming as the staff. There are headrests in the shampoo because clients spend so much time in the bowls- see what I mean about attention to detail?? The staff was engaging and

This place is super cute and clean! I got my hair cut by Kaylan and loved it. I had some idea of what I wanted, she listened and offered suggestions also. The salon is new but they are all experienced stylists. Location is great- plenty of street parking on Western, or just around the corner on Wabansia. $20 off first time clients, and they have a referral program.

I could not speak highly enough of the hair stylists. I started going to Kalyan to get my hair cut about 3 years ago when she worked at a different studio. After 2 years of bad balayage treatments because of my dark hair, Kaylan nailed it the first time and the color was exactly what I wanted (softer browns, with some lighter strands) and after she toned it such that it wouldn't become a blond-caramel (the default tone for anyone that has black hair) it retained its color and faded beautiful. I'm so excited that she's opened her own studio and would never go to anyone except kaylan

There isn't a HAIRY situation to worry about here! This place is awesome.


This salon is the bee's knees! I walked past it while walking my doggo, by Wabansia and Western, and immediately was drawn to the chic decor.

What got me in the door? $20 off service for new clients, friendly customer service experience during the phone call, and an easy to use website for appointment booking.

I walked in for a haircut appointment with Jessica, and was greeted by Jessica and also the cutest French Bulldog, resident staff member. I was ushered me to the salon seat, and offered me a beverage

Hair artistry at its finest! Ive recomended This gem to a few friends and they are all thrilled with their results. Im pretty picky about my color (red) and Jessica always does exactly what i like, even though i mix it up from time to time. Kaylan has helped me modernize my cut and has really helped me with my hair texture. I love that they have a salon puppy... he is such a love bug.
