Vicky was great

Vicky is great! Always a great haircut when I go here.

Very bad service, there is no attention. They put some cut models to choose from and you are 95% different. I won't come back, I don't recommend it

Wanted a quick single process. I was overcharged and still had grey hair showing. The place is filthy.

Doesn’t know what a bald fade is. I still have hair on my fade and she still thinks it’s bald lol. If you’re a guy don’t come here. Then she tried to charge me extra for no reason but I got the regular price down.

⚠️TLDR: don’t come here!!!⚠️ If I could give zero stars I would. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hair salon and I was so nervous I didn’t let her finish my bang trim. The black hairdresser did my bangs, I don’t know her name. All I wanted was rounded bang trim and lightening of the weight of my bangs. I offered to show a picture and she declined she said it wouldn’t help. The method she used to cut my bangs was twisting them and cutting it all at once, and by doing this when I had asked to go a little shorter, she did a CM off instead of the few MMs I was thinking. When I said it was shorter than I wanted she said no it wasn’t and I was becoming a “very difficult” client. She was very argumentative, did not listen to feedback, was not welcoming or kind at all. She seemed inexperienced. Not a good listener. It seems the owner is good, but avoid the other hairdresser. Not worth the price nor convenience. Definitely will not be coming here again.

DO NOT GET YOUR HAIRCUT HERE! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Went there with my wife earlier and the place had a very strange smell and the hairdresser was extremely rude, should have taken that as a sign…. My wife is from Brazil and has always gone to the same place in her home town. Naturally she was nervous about getting a haircut, but was needing one. We went in, and from the beginning she was rude and told me to sit down and wait, even though I wanted to be closer to my wife since she was nervous and doesn’t know all the English jargon around haircuts. When my wife told her that she always has her hair wet before cutting because that is how they do it in Brazil to be able to cut it straight, she told her that a good hair dresser is able to cut hair straight if it’s wet and dry. When she was finally finished, my wife took a look in the mirror and saw that her hair was longer on her left side than on her right. When she mentioned it, she said that it is because her hair is wavy. She was very very rude and when we were leaving, I was in such a rush to leave but still wanted be a decent person and leave a standard 15% tip and accidentally left a $15 dollar tip which my wife was really pissed about… When we got home my wife literally had a panic attack and saw that in the back it wasn’t even straight and saw that some places were uneven after taking a shower and wetting her hair (which the hairdresser recommended). Tomorrow I am going to go get it fixed in another place, wish us luck! SERIOUSLY, DO NOT GET YOUR HAIRCUTS HERE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Awesome haircuts. You get just what you you ask for, and the price is not bad either


Feb 05, 2024

Absolutely incredible! Vicky was able to fit me in for a same-day appointment and did an incredible job. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable during my cut -- noticed I was sweating, as I often do, and she turned the temperature down straightaway. Prices are competitive, especially for the area, but I no longer need to shop around -- I'll be coming back!


Feb 05, 2024

FIRST hair cut here in Chicago!!! I am blown tf away! If you got curls, or need a trim like I did? This is the spot for you. Know what you want, what you are going for. Bring reference photos if it’s something specific. Vicky’s hair cuts are out of this world, my friends 🦋🪼


Feb 05, 2024

Fantastic place. The owner Vicki is super nice and knows her stuff. Definitely recommend her shop for all your haircut needs!


Feb 05, 2024

Great , quick service. Great hair stylist


Feb 05, 2024

Great haircut spot in north lakeview/ Buena park area. I really enjoy the cuts I get from here. I have curly hair and when I have it longer, barbers don't always know how to cut it. Vickie, the owner, is super kind and personable. This is a wonderful small business to support. I will definitely keep going back.


Feb 05, 2024

Great service for a reasonable price! Vicky provides a clean cut and offers a flexible schedule for appointments. Always happy with my haircut here and will definitely be returning!


Feb 05, 2024

I did not like my hair cut at all. The lady cut my hair very short in spite of me telling her about the length I want.


Feb 05, 2024

I got a $30 mens haircut from Vicky that was great! She was fast, skilled, and very nice


Feb 05, 2024

I have been going to Charbella's salon for nearly a year and every time, I get a great haircut from Vicky at Charbella's every time I see here. Super friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, and great service. I always feel very welcome and the prices are great. If you need a new salon in the area, give Charbella's a shot.

I recently had the pleasure of getting my haircut from Vicky and was quite satisfied with the experience. Vicky accurately translated my requests into my desired haircut, showing her expertise and talent. She provided a reliable and professional service, giving me the confidence that my hair was in good hands and the pleasure of leaving the salon feeling refreshed and satisfied with my new look.

I went in for a haircut and Vicky immediately made me feel at home. I’m from a smaller town, and yes I’ve been in the city for a few years now, but even with the hustle and bustle on the corner of W Irving Park Rd and N Clarendon, the ambience gave me small town vibes. She gave me an amazing cut, took interest in things I was talking about, and just made me warm. Her overall demeanor was very family like. I felt like family at Charbella Salon. She even discounted my cut and wouldn’t let me tip her because she remembered I was going to look for jobs, and had some interviews coming up. Don’t worry, Vicky! We will be celebrating very soon, and I’m bringing the champagne! Thank you so much and you’re an amazing owner and stylist! Sending love, light, and positive vibes your way!

Mrs Vicki is such a joy! I was nervous to get my hair trimed but she made me feel comfortable and showed me how much she was cutting before hand. I have curly hair and haven't used heat in a long time. Mrs. Vicki blew out my hair on low heat and took her time. My fear of hear damage went out the window. She did my hair with so much care. Thank you!


Feb 05, 2024

Not sure why this place has high ratings! Very poor quality of haircut and hygiene levels. I was almost left wondering if the lady who did my hair ever knew how to cut hair or if she was practicing. Not worth it and never going back. Also charged 30 bucks for a regular haircut when their pricing displayed in the store says 25 bucks.


Feb 05, 2024

THE BEST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE!!! OMG Lady Vicky is incredible with hair! She took her time, and made sure to pay attention to every little detail. She listened to what I communicated what I wanted and executed it perfectly! Will be back again, VERY soon! (Curly hair friendly too!!!))))


Feb 05, 2024

The owner got me in the day of when I called. I waited a week to review to see how everything would grow out and style and I’m very happy with what I got. Very kind and quick.


Feb 05, 2024

The salon owner Vicky is so nice and welcoming. I was looking for a salon to give me a cut same day and Vicky had availability. She was very attentive when I explained to her I'm growing out my pixie to a bob and cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it. She also has a warm and fun personality. I'll definitely be back :)


Feb 05, 2024

This place is great! Vicky is amazing at what she does and was able to give me the exact haircut I wanted. She's very welcoming and cares about giving you what you want.


Feb 05, 2024

Very polite staff, pretty good haircut. Overall satisfied.


Feb 05, 2024

Vicky did an amazing job cutting my hair! I will definitely come back!


Feb 05, 2024

Vicky is great! She's always able to fit me in and knocks the cut out in 20 minutes or less. She's super friendly and is always on time for my appointments. Check out Charbella if you're in the area for a quick cut.


Feb 05, 2024

Vicky is great! 🙏🏼


Feb 05, 2024

Vicky welcomed me with open arms to the neighborhood and gives the most consistent cut around! So glad I found her as a walk-in and am now a repeat customer!


Feb 05, 2023

Great service, style, and price for a men’s haircut. Thank you Vicky!


Feb 05, 2023

Had a haircut there today. Very nice job and I plan to come back


Feb 05, 2023

I love this place!! Vicki is so delightful and makes her salon a friendly, lovely place to get your hair cut. I walked in one day hoping I could get a haircut relatively soon and she took me right away! She gave me an adorable haircut and I will absolutely be going back - thanks, Vicki!!
