I searched the city over for a great stylist and colorist and finally found the best with Linda at Blade! Linda styled my hair for my wedding day and Sonja did my makeup and it was worth every penny! My photos prove it and I've had lots of people ask me who did my hair and makeup because it stayed put and looked fresh all day and evening. Linda is very flexible with her time and will bend over backwards for her clients. She is great at suggesting ideas too if you want a new style. There's always parking nearby (and a starbucks within walking distance). Blade's decor is hip with great art photography on the walls. They also serve beautiful hot tea in the wintertime and a refreshing sparkling water in the summer. Linda has great taste in music (as a musician herself) so there is always great music to listen to and she wears the coolest shoes! Great salon if you're looking for a hip place but don't want to pay for parking downtown. Fair prices on services and great products. more

Linda has been cutting my hair for about two years and just recently she's been highlighting it. I've never been disappointed with my haircut - when I say don't cut my bangs, Linda doesn't cut my bangs! Her cuts are precise and always fit my face. She's a natural talent. \r \r I trust her with my highlights, too; so much so I just say do what you want. In the summer we tend to go lighter and brighter, for the fall/winter we may go a bit darker. Overall, I've been impressed with her intuitive abilities to know what I want. Linda's great! I couldn't be happier. Pros: Parking is surprizingly easy, I ususally park on the street. Nice, casual atmosphere, peaceful space. more

Linda Licocci is the BEST colorist in Chicago. She is truly gifted at recommending and applying color process.

The atmosphere at Blade is comfortable and soothing and the location is convenient with easy to find street parking or a block from the brown line EL stop. With the recent addition of waxing and facials, it's an excellent one-stop-shop salon.

Linda has been cutting, styling, and coloring my hair for 15 years and I have never been disappointed, bored, or misunderstood. She takes her time and listens to you so that when she does your hair, she's doing YOUR hair and creating a style that truly fits YOU. I have changed lengths, cuts, and colors over the years and I am always amazed at how Linda gets it - she really shares my vision and makes the right choices so that it works for me. Of course, it helps that she is really good at what she does, especially in cuts and color. I went from a dark brunette to a perfect blonde in just the right increments and with gorgeous color all along the way. Linda is caring and gentle in her honesty about what she thinks will work and what won't and so far, in 15 years, she's never been wrong. I always leave feeling as if I'm her only client and her most important one. Blade is a beautiful shop and I love going there - you will, too!!

I've been getting my haircut from Mark for 9 years... I like trying new things and I always get compliments. Mark is very accommodating in setting up appointments on evenings and weekends. He recently did my wedding hair and it was a awesome, clean lines, classic --yet contemporary. I had guests complimenting me all night. I also got a facial from Marisa and make-up by Sonia Mauseth. Both were able to do it by appointment and were very flexible just prior to the wedding day. Sonia did my mom's make-up that day and she looked stunning. I would recommend Blade to anyone looking for very personalized experience from beginning to end. Pros: flexible hours, amazing facials, great make-up, intimate atmosphere and decor Cons: not very close to home, but worth the cab fare, parking OK more
