So, I am NOT a girly-girl; for all of my life my hair has been lucky to get a cut twice a year. Every time I got a cut I'd go to a different salon, never the same place twice because I was never comfortable with the fru-fru stylists or clientele. But going to the laid-back, smaller places left me with a blah hair-style. When I moved to Evanston I searched for a stylist that was close to home. I found Trio and reading the reviews I thought, "Ok, another fancy salon with super trendy stylists and customers." But they were close and highly recommended, so I resigned myself to an hour of feeling weird and unglamorous in a room full of beautiful people. All I can say now is "I LOVE ROBYN!" She gave me the absolute best cut I had in my life and she has not disappointed me since. She is super cool, friendly, does a fabulous job with my hair, and doesn't push products or services on me. She held my hand through 3 haircuts before I finally decided I wanted to chop it all off in a new shorter style and I LOVE it! I think it was awesome that she was so patient with me and was totally cool when I backed out a couple of times! The place is small and comfy feeling. The receptionist and all the stylists are nice without the fakeness. Robyn makes me feel really comfortable, not weird at all, so I actually get my hair cut every couple of months. And I even feel a little glamorous when I leave there...Amazing!
Pros: Super nice stylists, great haircuts, Sunday hours, online appointments
Cons: Parking kinda stinks, a little bit pricey but worth it
