Every review starts with horrible hair. Haha
I was a brunette turned balayage blonde because of, you know, a guy. Then the salon I went to bleached my hair with product so bad that my hair essentially turned into a bird nest made out of grass. Dry, endless tangles, and brassy. I went to solo Solon back in 2018 and booked an appointment with Joey. It was probably the best 5 hours spent - Joey was sooooo patient with my stubborn asian hair, and needless to say, I looked fabulous.
Soon after Joey moved to another salon, I followed him to keep up with my hair appointments. There's never

Let me start by saying that I've lived in Chicago for 8 years and for the first 3 years I would drive back to Michigan to get my hair done. I'm VERY picky about my hair and who can touch it. I found Melissa through a friend 5 years ago and she is an hair ANGEL. She was amazing when I was blonde and she made my hair look stunning. And then she made me into a redhead and I'm never going back. She is unbelievably talented when it comes to coloring hair and styling it. AND she is so sweet and funny that the time spent there is fun. Go see Melissa, I promise she will make you feel like

Aimee is an expert hair stylist, a fantastic business owner and an overall wonderful person! I originally visited Aimee about 6 years ago when she operated her business on Clark St., after my friend Traci referred her to me. I have never let anyone else touch my hair since for good reasons! She has transformed my hair over the years and thoroughly understands what I like, what I dislike and what is good for me! I trust Aimee wholeheartedly that she will leave me walking out feeling like a new woman! Aimee will either conduct a touch-up and cut on my hair or a full-fledged highlight session

I've been going to Melissa for about five year now, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Before coming to her, I would often feel nervous getting a haircut, as I have a LOT of hair, and stylists in the past haven't always known what to do with it. Now, I trust Melissa fully with my hair, and I always leave her chair feeling great. Whether I want to go with a classic low-maintenance look, or try something new and edgy, Melissa listens and more than delivers. We talk about what I'm envisioning, then I leave it up to her expertise and creativity to come up with something amazing

Aimee is such an amazing hair stylist. I drive from the suburbs to see her because no one can do my hair as well as she can. I constantly get compliments from strangers about it. Aimee puts three colors of highlights in my blonde hair and it looks very natural. She also cuts my fine hair to look like it has some body. In addition to her amazing talent, Aimee is a great person and I always feel comfortable in her chair!

Aimee is unbelievable when determining the best for every client, no matter gender or age. She has THE eye for face shape and the right cut. Aimee is known for gorgeous color, highlighting, Brazilians, and proper hair care.
She's a gem to know and her salon is immaculate.
Easy parking, great vibe, other stylists too.

After several months of debating on whether to go lighter or not I finally decided to "go for it". No the hard part began; looking for a stylist! Well, after filtering through stylist after stylist I found Jennifer and I am so glad that I did. She knows what she's doing and will talk you through the steps and make sure that you really understand what she's saying (and not just agreeing to everything she's saying). Look through her IG page and you will see the great work she does. I decided to do a light/blonde bayalage which will take two sessions (originally though it

I moved to Chicago 4 years ago and was so worried about finding a new hair stylist until I met Melissa at Fusion Hair Studio, and now all of my hair-anxiety has vanished forever. Literally forever. Like I would probably decline moving to another state because of being far from Melissa. A coworker came to work one day with the cutest bangs and I could NEVER get bangs to look decent on me. She immediately sent me to Melissa and since then, she has done things with my hair I've tried to achieve for years...and it seemed like she could do it in her sleep. Whether it's a simple trim to keep

Where do I begin?! I found Melissa through a Yelp review when I first moved to Chicago nearly 10 years ago. I had an aversion to dyeing my hair due to a horrible experience with box dye when I was younger. After my first appointment with Melissa, I knew it was the start of a fantastic friendship! Melissa has an extensive background as a colorist and after numerous appointments and conversations, I knew I could trust her to take my hair to the next level. When I first met her, my thick, wavy hair was as short as my chin. Over the years, with the help of her extraordinary styling abilities, it&apos

I've been going to Fusion for years. Aimee is fantastic and always suggests the perfect cut & color for me. Most recently, she suggested Balayage based on my description of what I was looking for and all I can say is wow! I've never received so many compliments on my hair. I highly recommend Fusion & Aimee!

Amanda Moss Brostek is my go to hair STYLIST for the past nine years. I have followed her religiously because she is simply the best. She is my hair styling goddess/therapist/doctor all in one!! She knows exactly what to do with my hair and I not only trust her with my hair, but my daughter, sisters, mother and best girlfriends!!
To recap - Amanda has done my color, cuts, and styles for everything ranging from my engagement photos, wedding, post-wedding chop, maternity styles, professional bobs/lobs, and mommy friendly styles! She does it all and every time, I walk away from her, I am 150

Aimee is simply too cool for words. I knew I was long overdo for a cut, so she got me in before I had to leave on a business trip. (Which I appreciated immensely).
I never know what to do with my hair so I let her have at it, and it turned out great. Def will keep going back, especially since it's so close and is in a great part of town.

Let me just start off with the fact that Aimee, the owner, came in on her day off, DAY OFF, to help fix my hair emergency. The day before I had gone to my old salon wanting to change my dark red hair back to its original dirty with blonde with ombre. To make a long story short, the other salon destroyed my hair turning it into a dark, dark brown on the top and an awful yellow bottom- no blending just a straight line. I came into Fusion because of a recommendation from my cousin. Aimee took the time to explain all of my options to fix it. She was so sweet and professional. She made me feel so comfortable

I just realized I've never written a review for Fusion, which is insane, because they are amazing. Maybe I've subconsciously wanted to keep Aimee my little secret!
I've been going here for 4-ish (?) years now... I admit I was too cheap to get a 'real' haircut prior to this (In my defense, I grew up in So-Ill, where my haircuts were always $14, so the Chicago sticker shock got me!), but I finally decided that since I had a big-girl job, I should get myself a big-girl haircut.
A friend recommended Aimee to me & as long as I live here, I'll keep going to her. I

Melissa is seriously incredible! I came to get a cut and color per a recommendation from a friend and was a little nervous to take my brown hair to blonde. It turned out the most gorgeous color, and 3 months later it still looks amazing. Melissa was really sweet, and made the process super easy. Plus, fusion lets you sip a beer while getting it all done. Is there anything better? Now, I won't go anywhere else! Thanks thanks!

I currently live in the LA area but I fly out to Chicago once every quarter for work. Five years ago, on one of my trips I was in need of a haircut before a meeting and Aimee was recommended to me. Not expecting anything more than a quick efficient cut, I had a great experience. She was engaging and man can she cut hair. It was the best haircut i've had and I can honestly say that I have never been able to find anyone as good as Aimee Collins at Fusion Hair Studio. I now make sure to schedule an appointment every time I come to Chicago...So I guess you could say that I commute from LA

I've been coming to see Amy every month for 8+ years! This is their new location and it is awesome! It was a great move as it no longer has the foot traffic of Wrigleyville like it use to. Big perk that it is now located right next door to a small liquor store and two doors down from Pony Inn!
All the ladies that work here are really nice. Amy (who also owns the place) knows exactly how a guy wants his hair, BUT she is really good at giving you her own opinion to make you look extra sharp! (It's always good to have a ladies opinion on it..right?)
Dude....don't be fooled into

I have been coming to Fusion for the past 3 years. Aimee is amazing! She highlights my blonde hair so it looks natural and beautiful! I always leave looking fabulous, plus she cuts my hair so I can style it straight or have a wavy look. She also does an amazing job cutting my husband's hair. He has thick coarse hair but she always makes him look great! Fusion is a fresh, clean and fun salon! You will feel relaxed and you can even have a beer while you get your hair done!
