I've been a client here for years and really love the talent, the effort and the type of environment that trio provides. Lea and Lola are both amazing at what they do and I love the time I spend here. Very happy with my cut and color every time. So convenient also for me with parking and ease of scheduling. They are often very booked and busy but work with me to get me in at a good time. Can't recommend Lea and Lola more.

This is a lovely and bright salon located in downtown Evanston. There is plenty of metered parking nearby. They are taking covid precautions, and even offering outdoor haircuts. I went to Trio on the morning of my wedding and was well received by Lola, who was welcoming, patient, kind, personable, and also a SUPER talented stylist! I showed her pics of my gown and a few looks I liked and she got to work right away, producing the most beautiful bridal updo. I highly recommend Lola at Trio, especially for special events or weddings. She was sweet and helpful, taking my preferences into account and

I had my first experience at Trio recently - had my hair color done by Philip. I am not exaggerating when I say he is the first hair colorist to capture the exact color I had in mind ever since I started coloring my hair. I am so happy to have found this gem of a salon. Thank you so much for a reassuring and perfect experience!

This was my first visit to Trio. I was soooo scared to change salons due to the fact that I basically liked my old salon. It was time to change. So........here is my review.
I met the owner Phillip, I found him to be a very compassionate person, who listened to what I
Had to say. The end result is a work in progress to repair, let's say, an old paint job. I feel we
Are on the right track to getting where I want to be. If you are looking to change hair color this
Definitely is the place!,

Mallory is fantastic. Amazing beachy waves. Make sure to book early if you are needing a Saturday appointment as she books up really quickly. This place has a very laid back vibe and parking is super easy.

Ladies... please hear me... if you want the most amazing freaking haircut ever... go to CLIFF at Trio. He is a master artist. I get NON STOP compliments on my hair after he cuts it. It's the perfect blend of body and soft, bouncy layers. It's easy to work with and just looks and feels so good. I am serious- you have to go to CLIFF!!!!

I just moved to Evanston after living in the city for years, and I was thrilled to find that Cliff, my former stylist from Maxine's Salon, seemed to move with me! Cliff always knows exactly what to suggest for my hair, whether it is a style or a new product, and he gives the best blow-dry hands-down! Parking is easily available right outside on the street, and the staff is warm and friendly. Overall, I highly recommend Trio Salon!

I've gone to a million salons in my life due to my UNIQUE hair. I'm Indian, but I have super long, kinky, unruly, curly hair. No...not all Indian women have that beautiful silky straight hair that extensions are made out of haha! So, I went to Robyn both times and she's an angel. My hair looked SO good. I'm talking bouncy, shiny, Victoria's Secret model hair. Plus, my layers were better than I even asked for. OH...and forgot....the first time I went to see her, I ended up donating my hair to Locks of Love. I asked her to take about 8 inches off my hair...of course

I am so picky about my haircuts and have tried so many high-end salons in the city. No one gets how to cut super thick hair! They insist on thinning it out, and layering in a way that does not bring out the best in my hairstyles. I work by Trio in Evanston so I tried it and could not be more pleased. Robyn is seriously the only one who's ever given me a great haircut! She is so knowledgeable, super sweet, didn't try to sell me on a bunch of product I didn't need, and I left there feeling like a Pantene commercial. Loved her and still love my haircut! Two thumbs up!!!

Wow so disappointed in this place! First off I walk in and the receptionist didnt really welcome me. She looked at me funny I think because I wasnt white! Then I had a haircut with Robyn. She was a really nice person but she messed up my haircut. This was my first time going short & I was really upset she was so unexperienced. Then I got my hair colored by another lady she took about 2 hours to apply it. It came out alright but the haircut was bad I didnt really care about the color!! To top it off my bill came out to 190!! For a color and cut really?! I will never be back and I dont recommend

I've been getting my hair cut at Trio with Robyn since I moved to Evanston in 2005. I LOVE HER! I've never had a bad cut with her, or even a mediocre cut! She does a great job of listening to what I want, giving me her input on what will work and what won't and my hair looks fabulous every time. Robyn has done updos for me for weddings, too.
I really like the atmosphere at Trio. It's not pretentious... ALL of the staff is super friendly and it feels comfortable there. Recently, I had an insane work schedule and was having a really hard time getting in for a haircut. Robyn, Jenny (shampooer) and

TRio Salon is one of the most professional salons I have been in, not to mention, customer service driven culture. The desk staff are so friendly and Phil, well Phil is an old fashioned gentleman, expert colorist and all around nice guy. My husband still sees him for color even though we do not live there anymore but when he is in town for business, he makes an appt with Phil!
Rosa is a great stylist and up to date on all the new cutting techniques. She listens to what you want and delivers.

Started looking for a place to get a haircut about a year ago after my stylist left town. A couple of consistent recommendations later, I ended up with Robyn at Trio. I have really fine and thin hair which is easy to screw up so despite the rave reviews I was a little nervous that I'd look like a chia pet.
Fact is that she did a FANTASTIC job! Really thrilled with the way it turned out and the compliments I get consistently even a month after she cuts my hair. Will be a regular with Robyn and the rest of the crowd at Trio unless she decides the winter weather isn't for her anymore...even then

I've been going to Robyn for my haircuts for 4+ years. She's the best. She always listens to what I want and always does it just like I've requested. I've even had her suggest that my idea wouldn't likely turn out quite how I wanted, which is very helpful. I relax when I'm with Robyn and we chat, but she's never over the top chatty like some other stylists I've had. When I walk out of the salon I get a million complements on my hair, every single time. Robyn does great work. I've done very dramatic changes and minor trims with Robyn and the results are always fantastic. I've moved out of state

EVERYONE HERE IS FANTASTIC!
I love Barbara for my color. I have long blonde hair and she does a wonderful job of making my highlights look natural. She's so good that I can go twice as long between appointment than I used to at my other salon. She's also really friendly and honest. I also saw Phillip once for bayalage and was very happy with the results.
For my cut I go to Robin but have also seen Chad. I've gotten amazing cuts from both of them that have grown out beautifully. I have a hard time deciding which I prefer so maybe I'll just alternate between the two of

I had my hair done here back in june, I feel awful about not writing a review sooner because the results were great. I had michelle do the cut and Iwen with the color. Michelle ( i looked at their talent list and didn't see her, not sure if she is still there... i hope i don't have the name wrong) gave me a cute bob that worked well with wavy/curly hair. Iwen, so much to say, first off very personable easy to talk to. Her judgement on hair color is awesome, i was going from a orange/red to a blonde for the summer and she toned it done to a great shade. she talked me out of a complete

My wife checked the web site for pricing, which said $53+. A particular stylist had been recommended by a friend, so my wife booked me with her. She was very sweet, and I love her work.

When I went to pay the bill, I was stunned to find that it came to $103. The receptionist explained that, yes, some of the stylists there do charge $53. Mine just happened to charge almost twice that. Just for a men's cut--nothing fancy, not even blow drying.

Not cool, Trio. New clients should be notified at the time of their appointments what the bill will come to.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Trio -- The staff is amazing and Robyn (the stylist I've been going to for years) is fantastic. The difference between Robyn and other stylists I've been to (at other salons) is that she actually listens to what you want and gives you exactly that. I've been to her for weddings updos, regular hair cuts, and most recently I booked my sister's bridal hair with her. I've never been anything but 100% satisfied and would HIGHLY recommend her.

I also have to give my compliments to the staff -- When I was stressed out about timing

I found a colorist! I can finally get my hair cut and colored all in the same appointment, rather than dividing my time between two salons. I had been seeing Iwen at the downtown location, and loved her. Because of my impulsive / fickle approach to my hair, I hadn't seen her in a while and was super bummed when I'd heard she left. Iwen, wherever you are, you rocked.

So I took a leap of faith and booked a color appointment w/ Jada at the Evanston location. It was my first experience with her, and I'm super impressed.

My hair has been described, by many stylists, as "

I had to come back to give them a break. I know I said it's expensive, but I'm starting to realize this is fairly standard these days. Plus, I just can't allow people to pass the place up just b/c ratings turned them away. Again, Chad is great. My husband told me he knows what looks good on me better than I do, and I have to agree. He's an artist, and he wears cool scarves.
