Steven Papageorge Salon

Analie has been doing my hair for years now, and I will never trust anyone else to do my hair! This most recent time I got a much needed haircut and a refresh of my color. She always brings it EACH TIME!!! My hair not only looks great, but it feels great! I always get compliments, and its all due to her giving me amazing color. Steven Papageorge Salon is a must go to!!

This salon is the best you’ll find in the Chicago area! Located in downtown Evanston, it’s in the heart of a vibrant and family-friendly community and also near Lake Michigan. There is no place else I would trust to have my hair done. I continuously go for my haircuts and highlights (guylights). They are attentive and caring to your every want/need and will always strive to give you the best service and final product. They are also pet lovers, so be sure to ask about bringing your furry friend along to your appointment.

Good haircut, not amazing. For the price, I’d expect more, but my issue is with the service. The times I’ve been in, the front desk attendants seem blasé and unwilling to help. They recently raised prices, but did not inform patrons. When I asked, no one could give me a straight answer about why I was charged what I was charged. In terms of the overall experience, they continue to insist that because of covid, they can’t offer water, coffee, tea, wine (mainstays for all salons I have been to in Miami and New York before moving to Evanston). It’s bizarre - Hardly any customers are wearing masks, so this seems like a cost saving mechanism more than anything. The last time I went in was truly disappointing, since my stylist was running 30 minutes behind. I informed them I had other appointments that day and was leaving for my honeymoon the next day, so I had to get a move on. No water for the wait, and their answer after 20 minutes of waiting was to have a front desk employee (who seemed irritated that I had interrupted her conversation) wash my hair, which was a debacle in and of itself, since I specifically wanted a special treatment for my hair. I had to have my hair washed twice, and I ended up leaving without a blow dry because of their terrible timing. I left feedback on their internal feedback form, but received no response. I doubt anyone is checking. In sum, I would give my first experience a 4 and the second a 2, so I’m leaving this at a 3 and suggest you look elsewhere. **Update: I find it telling that the owner gave an immediate and in-depth response here, only after I left a review publicly. Why ask for feedback online privately (which I gave) if you’re not going to check it and follow up? To me, speaks of poor customer service, which is why I gave you all 3 stars to start with. A top-down issue? I hope you can bring back drinks and train your customer associates to be a little more on the ball.

I have been coming here for about 10 years now. Great location, flexible appointments. Great and maybe even more important, consistent haircuts. Really close for NW students also.
