Since moving out to Evanston from the city a couple of years ago, I've had a hard time finding a salon that offered all the services I was looking for in a up-to-date but relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to some great reviews on City Search, as well as a good location (lots of parking and right across from the Central METRA stop), I stumbled onto Trio, and I love it. Jessica is a fantastic colorist at a great price, and Robyn is such a good stylist that I was comfortable enough to ask her to 6 inches off my hair. They both do a fantastic job each and every time, and the price is definitely right! ($100 for double process color and $70 for the cut)
From the friendly staff at the reception area, to the great (and importantly not too loud - I like to relax when I'm getting my color done, not rock out!) music, to the great selection of hair products, I can't think of a single area of the salon that I'd improve.
And one thing I like best is being able to schedule appointments online (www.triosalon[dot]com). I don't always think about it during business hours, so it's great to be able to book services any time of the day or night and see all the available times to choose from.
Pros: Great Ambience, Friendly Staff, Appointment Booking 24/7 online
Cons: No services beyond hair; would love if they added mani/pedi services!
