Just got arguably my best cut and color of life from Stephanie. I have been shopping around Chicago for two friggen years and have yet to find my hair home. She chose the perfect, fall brown (that “my natural hair color” brown ) with a perfect cut to match. New to Kala, but parallel 5 …

I’ve been seeing Asif for nearly 3 years now, and I couldn’t be happier. Number one, he is just amazingly talented. Cut, color, style and all kinds of trreatments – he has done wonders for my hair. I get compliments on my hair pretty frequently, and the credit goes to Asif. I do cuts and …

It’s now 4 months later and my perm looks amazing still. It even survived a trip through SEAsia. I’m still as lazy as ever – all I do is wash it, put some spray gel in and twirl it around my fingers. It makes big bouncy curls. I still get all these comments about it. …

I absolutely love Kala Salon and Asif. I’m relatively new to Kala and have been so happy I made the switch. This is the first time I’ve had complete faith in someone to take care of the look and overall health of my hair. Even the blowouts are gorgeous. The salon itself is fresh, modern …

Daniela was amazing she gave me an amazing cut and styled my hair perfectly! She asked me what i wanted and i told her and i also asked her if she could make it look even better. She made it happen. Magic hands and it felt as though the time went by so quickly. Perfect …

My hair was very damaged walking into the salon. Asif immediately assessed what needed to be done today and moving forward. He kindly taught me exactly how I should be treating my hair (in most salons I typically feel berated with information, but Asif was very genuine and helpful). I came in for a simple …

The difference between a good hairstylist and an excellent hairstylist is that the latter not just cares about styling based on mere words but really pays detailed attention to the client’s personality, needs and what is really being said. Asif at Kala Salon does just that. I’ve never walked out of there unhappy or uncertain. …

I have gotten my hair cut at Kala before by Alyssa and she is awesome – 100% recommend. I went in last night, and after seeing Asif with other clients and knowing that my long hair was in BAD shape I made an appointment with him. I went in wanting a trim and to go …

You won’t be disappointed. Not just with the result, but with the process. The second Asif starts cutting you realize how good he is. A month after I get my hair cut, I still have people complementing me on my hair. I don’t like to cut my hair more often than once every few months, …

Incredible experience. Was greeted and had my coat taken and a drink in hand within seconds of walking in. Alyssa was fabulous! Great consultation and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I did a single process on top and then bayalage. Followed with a blow dry and some beautiful wavy curls. Definitely my new …

I love Asif! I first learned of him a couple years ago when he was working at a salon with ambitions to start his own one day. Fast forward 2 years and here he was in his own Salon, with a friendly staff, great service which meant a free champagne or cappuccino on a winter …

ASIF IS AWESOME!!!!! I have always been super skeptical when it comes to getting my hair cut because people have literally butchered my hair. I have curly, Hispanic hair and admittedly it can be hard to deal with. I’ve tried plenty of different salons and plenty of different hair stylists and have always been nothing …

After losing touch with my stylist of 10 years, I have been searching for a new one who could cut my straight long hair and give it some movement and layers. Asif was the 4th person I’d tried out and he had his work cut out for him. The first cut after my regular stylist …

I just left my haircut and I can’t wait to go back. The entire staff is terrific, professional and friendly. Asif is incredibly talented and extremely knowledgeable about the products and technology needed to achieve the look you’re going for. Hands down the best cut and color I have ever had, and their hair products …

I am thrilled to have found this place!! Asif, was wonderful. After having a crappy job done a few months ago. I was extremely nervous to go to a new stylist. I sat down and went over my concerns with Asif. He listened and made some great suggestions. My layers are beautiful. I finally have …

Well, well, another rave review for Kala Salon. What a surprise… After deciding I wanted to chop 8 to 10 inches off my hair, I was on the market for a salon when I walked by Kala. I stuck my little head in, did a quick yelp search, and made an appointment. I was hesitant …

Asif is the best. I came in with my hair in a mess and little idea of what to do about it. Sat down in his chair and an hour later? Sorted. I LOVE my hair and I’ll definitely be back. He also has the best stories. I don’t always like talking to hairstylists–sometimes it …

As the legendary Joan Crawford once said, “I think that the most important thing a woman can have — next to talent, of course — is her hairdresser.” Ladies and gentlemen, you will find that important thing at Kala Salon. Extraordinary, magical, gifted…these are a few words that describe the incredibly talented Asif Rajan. Asif …

Alyssa cuts and colors my hair- she’s awesome. I literally tell her to do what she wants and it always turns out great. I originally started coming here after my friend told me about it and how much she liked Alyssa. I had my hair done last night and it looks great. Nice salon. Always …

Great location close to the office. I was able to bike there from the West Loop in 10 minutes. Arrived 15 minutes early -nice touch with offering champagne, tea, coffee, or water while I was waiting. Aneta was awesome. She consulted with me to see what I was looking for with my haircut. I decided …

I had an appointment for color with Aneta and she did an awesome job. I’ve been coloring my hair for around 10 years now and this is probably one of the best color treatments I’ve ever had. She really took her time and didn’t just slop color on my hair. I showed her a picture …

I’m writing this review both for the salon in general, and for Brittany, Alyssa, and Denise, who were my glam squad for my wedding in June. I love Kala, and have been getting my hair cut there for about a year. It’s always a great, laid back experience, and I get exactly what I ask …

Like a lot of other reviewers, I followed Asif from Fuga to Kala. Asif is awesome at balancing what I want out of a cut with what he knows will look good. At this point, I can pretty much sit down in the chair, zone out, and know that he’ll do an amazing job. He’s …

This was my first time at Kala salon, and I was very impressed! I had never dyed my hair or had highlights, and I was looking for a reputable business to get balayage. Kala had amazing reviews! I figured it would be worth the expensive price for a good job. I booked an appointment with …

I went to Aneta for a cool brown Balayage and a quick trim. She did HANDS DOWN the best coloring job of anyone I have been to (even though she was starting with my months old and worn out balayage from the summer). Heard about her from other friends who had success getting the color …

This place is #1 (or should be) in Chicago. Have been coming here for almost a year and absolutely love it. Alyssa is super kind and professional. She is the perfect stylist, listening to what you want, making suggestions, then making it all happen better than you imagined it could happen. Great location and amazing …

Alyssa!!!! I don’t really write reviews much but I really hope she sees this. I was in need of a hair rescue and boy did she deliver the best she could with what she had to work with. My hair has a long ways to go to look amazing naturally but Alyssa really has helped …

Absolutely love Kala Salon! Aneta is a great stylist. She knows how to style my hair so it is flattering for my face and to the length that I want. I really enjoy chatting with her during my appointment and it is always very relaxing. I like that she will style my hair with waves …

So happy to have found this place AND Alyssa! Kala has a great vibe – cozy and cool. I have very thin curly hair which can make haircuts a bit challenging. Alyssa listened to what I wanted from my cut and provided great info about what would be best for my hair. She also made …

I went to Kala based entirely on its excellent Yelp reviews and was not disappointed one bit! By far, the best cut/color I’ve ever had. I have a dark blond natural color and I regularly lighten my hair, while keeping my natural undertone. Before going to Kala, I was fed up with constantly having light …
