Katie does a fantastic job with my regular manicure and pedicure. I am extremely picky when it comes to my nails. She is detail oriented and my nails turn out exactly how I want every single time. I appreciated wide range of polish colors and punctual service. I highly recommend Katie at Studio Debonair. She’s the best!

Great place for blondes! Lily did an amazing transformation from brown warm high lighted hair to platinum blonde in one sitting.

I came into town for a few days and needed my hair trimmed and styled. This place is just around the corner from our hotel, The Viceroy. I walked over. Lily cut and styled my hair for me for a special event. She was so professional! She did an amazing job. I was super happy with the results. It stayed looking nice for almost 3 days before I had to wash it. I highly recommend having Lily take care of your hair. She’s super nice and friendly too. We had a lovely conversation. The price was very reasonable too. If I’m ever in town again I’ll definitely go back and ask for Lily.

First time there and I had an amazing, relaxing experience. I do not get self care as much as I should due to my busy work schedule, so I was a little shy about being seen with such a mess on my head. I had nothing to worry about! My hair looks amazing after my cut and I even booked a follow up appointment to try out some color options. So relieved but also thank you all so much! My stylist was Liliya and she helped me decide how much to trim while being realistic about my hair's health. She was spot on and I could not be happier! She gave me a nice cut with emphasis on health and low maintenance/easy styling. We cut more than I would have at my old salon but it was sooo needed and just shows how knowledgeable she is about hair. I keep my hair long and even with the trim it's still past my shoulders and looks fabulous. I couldn't be happier with my haircut and I am excited to come back!

Joelle is the master of men’s haircuts. Good coffee too. Two thumbs up!

I had a lovely haircut at this salon and it took longer than expected, but it was a great cut. The following week I had an appointment for a blow out of my hair and a styling for a wedding. A few hours before my appointment she cancelled with no solution of someone else being able to do my hair. I understand things come up, but it’s poor customer service to not be able to provide an alternative especially since she knew this was for such a big event.

Kristina is great. Excellent service.


Feb 05, 2024

My haircut yesterday with hairstylist Joelle has been such a wonderful experience! I only get a haircut one or twice a year because I never found a hairstyle that I feel happy to wear. So I was nervous heading into my appointment yesterday. But Joelle made me feel so comfortable within minutes and I just enjoyed the experience. Great chats and I just love my haircut! I left there so happy that I was just vibing around downtown afterwards. I will be back for another appointment in 6 weeks and for the foreseeable future.

They always do a top notch job

First time here, made the reservation completely online which I truly appreciated. The service fees were easy to understand and clear cut (pun intended). Easy to find the salon and the interior was stunning. Sean listened to my requests and engaged in two way conversation about what I was looking for. I have found that to be crucial to getting the result you desire when it comes to hair. I was offered a beverage as soon as I sat down, another higher end salon feature I have discovered over the years. I look forward to returning.

Great service and atmosphere! Kristina has been my stylist for more than 15 years and even though I now live far away from where she works, I still make the trip regularly because there’s no one else I trust to do the work she does so well.

I tried a few places in search of the right salon to make my regular spot and Studio Debonair was by far the best! I've been here a few time for a cut and color and will keep coming back because they are the absolute best on all fronts: - Great website for easy booking - Only place I've been with transparent and consistent pricing - Beautiful and stylish salon - Very friendly and talented stylists / colorists The vibe in the salon is always happy and social. You can tell they all work well as a team and have a lot of regulars who like being there. On a personal note - coming here has been game changing for my hair happiness and confidence. I've been a double-process bleach blonde for several years and my hair is so much healthier since I started coming here. A (more expensive) place I went to for a long time before really fried my hair so I came here expecting to give up being blonde. The care and attention to detail has made my blonde color beautiful and hair healthy again. My friends and family comment on how much better it looks. I also got a great cut that camouflaged the breakage and looks great.

I've been going to Studio Debonair since it opened and have been thrilled with every service received. Their setting is incredibly beautiful and the stylists are warm and welcoming. I cannot recommend them highly enough.


Feb 05, 2023

It’s my first time to do my perm there, Kristina is awesome!! She is super friendly and cares my hair very well, and she made the curls is definitely what I want and I definitely will come back to treat my hair! Love it!


Feb 05, 2023

Joelle does an amazing job with my cut & color. Salon is super relaxing and has a nail bar too that I'll check out.


Feb 05, 2023

My hairstylist, who was also the owner of the shop, gave me a great experience. She spent time giving me a full consultation on what I wanted, had no rush during the cut, and gave me a great new hairstyle. She wasn’t pushy with upselling any products, and was a joy to chat with. I’ll be returning!


Feb 05, 2023

Super friendly staff


Feb 05, 2023

This is my second visit to this salon for a blowout service. I had a different stylist each time but the quality is always amazing. Appointments are always on time, I love the products used and stylists are talented. I highly recommend!

Best place in the city best staff ever


Feb 05, 2022

Best place to get your nails done in the city! I’ve been seeing Katie for a long time and she does an incredible job. The salon is very clean and everyone is very welcoming. Katie is very talented and I highly recommend going here for nails!


Feb 05, 2022

I have been going to Lily for several years and she always has done a wonderful job. I have done haircuts, highlights, whole hair coloring and always loved the results.


Feb 05, 2022

Joelle is great!! She cuts and colors my hair.


Feb 05, 2022

Kristina is the best! I've been coming here for the past two years and I always leave feeling confident and well-taken care of! Highly recommend


Feb 05, 2022

Kristina was absolutely wonderful and gave me such an empowering layered cut. I’m obsessed with it! Also, she was so much fun, which always makes the experience even better!


Feb 05, 2022

Lily is great! Was able to take me 30 mins before closing without an appt and as always gave me a great cut!


Feb 05, 2022

Relaxed, professional & skilled


Feb 05, 2022

Such an incredible experience. I came on the recommendation of a friend and am so happy that I did. Kristina did an amazing job with my cut and color. Because I do fantasy color (pinks and purples) the process takes several hours and it was a joy spending the day at Salon Debonair. The space is beautiful and Kristina and Liliya are so warm and create a great vibe. I highly recommend Salon Debonair to everyone!


Feb 05, 2022

The best service, the girls are super talented I love how they cut my hair.


Feb 05, 2021

Great service, friendly staff. Would come back again, when I'm back in Chicago.


Feb 05, 2021

I love this place, BEST hair+beauty salon in Chicago! Incredibly professional, talented, and so sweet! They solved my disaster eyebrow situation from another salon with calmness and kindness, turning me into a loyal client!

I’ve gone to barbers most of my life for a haircut. I’ve had really good ones and some so so ones. Even the best of them don’t compare to Kristina’s skill set as a stylist for men. She has an innate sense of stying your hair based on the type of hair you have, the contours of your head, and the shape of your face. She listens to what you want, and gives you exactly that. If you ask her what works best for you, she gives an honest opinion and it has always worked for me. Hands down the best stylist/barber I’ve ever had.


Feb 05, 2021

Lily has been cutting my hair for almost 10 years! I can not tell you how hard it was to find someone I can trust with my hair. She is beyond exceptional and I love the new salon that they opened. It is so stylish and beautiful. In addition to that she has been so good to me she always gives me new ideas and things to try in my hair and it is nice to have a hair stylist you can trust and consult as a dear friend.
