chicago spot: twisted scissors

June 1, 2009 | Chicago, hair, me me me

I tried a new hair salon.

Cue: Shock! Awe! Gasp!

I was well overdue for a cut and my normal stylist, Mary, schedule changed so she’s been harder to book. The next available appointment was like June 20th and well, that just wasn’t happening.

So I had to look elsewhere. I searched Yelp! like it was my job until I found a new salon and someone to ask for.

Enter: Twisted Scissors

I magically managed to score an appointment with one of the owners, Angela. I was told just how hard it is to get in with her last minute because she books at least a month out in advance. Once they told me this, I knew I was in good hands.

Angela was every bit as amazing as they say she is. She listened to what I wanted (less boring, more edgy but still keeping length) and gave me her input (texture, more layers and bangs!) and I even felt comfortable enough to let her take a razor to my hair. And you know I’m an anal retentive freak when it comes to my hair. She took off some length (my hair was almost down to my waist), added in more layers for texture and volume and did a more blunt bang than the sweepy long ones I use to get.

The salon itself is a really cool spot. Great music coming from the speakers, kitschy decor and pin up decked walls. Best part about it? Haircuts start at $30 for women (mine was $40). Affordable and the best blow out ever.

I’m in love.

Eeeee! Bangs! They look wonderful, Jamie!

And I get to see you in less than four days!

Cute cut! I love the bangs. You’re inspiring me to try a new salon myself

LOOOOOOVE the bangs. I have always wanted to try bangs like that but have been too chicken. They look fabulous on you!

Love it!! That’s so affordable too – nothing better. See you soon!

Pretty! I think I need bangs now!

I love it!

Oy. I’m not ready for Chicago cost of living yet… My last haircuit & style was $18.

But you look fabulous!

oooooh!

That hair is pure sex. Meowtch!

You look amazing!!!!!! Great haircut for you.

So CUTE!

I want bangs & desperately need a hair change (but I’m too scared).

oooolady that is cute!

Babe, you look H-O-T!

adorable! yay!

I LOVE it! It looks awesome!

wow it looks great! your bangs look A-MAZING!

Seriously gorgeous. Love, love, love the bangs. With all my heart. Heehee…

Doesn’t it feel good when trying a new stylist actually works out? How awesome!

You look so great in bangs! LOVE THEM!

I f*cking love bangs. And you.

I Love the bangs!

LOVE that haircut! Isn’t it great finding a good stylist??? You’re so Vegas ready!

Oooh super cute cut!!

Wow, that’s really inexpensive compared to the places I have found in Chicago. I might just have to check this place out.

What a great cut! Beautiful!

The hair, like always looks fabulous. Are you ready to rock your new do in Vegas?

I love it! You look gorgeous! And that is an amazing price. I wish I could find such a price for a really good cut around here.

I’m actually in this same spot. I’m in need of a new hairstylist since I recently moved. Since I live in a small town now Yelp provides no help. Enter Google and their reviews and the girl who I would love to use charges $65 (will not accept a tip at that price she says) and provides a complimentary color wash (what is that?!) or a brow wax. Not sure if I want to pay that much though. As for you, love the hair and congrats on finding a new stylist

great cut! I love it!

Huzzah! for bangs.

Absolutely LOVE it!!!

Finally, a correct use for FIERCE!!!

wow! looks amazing! it’s always great finding a new stylist. I had the same problem when I moved. It was hard getting into my regular stylist because she only works wknds and it just never matched my schedule. I realllllly love your hair though.

Oooooh. Pretty.

It’s super cute! I wish she had a salon in AZ. I am in deperate need of finding a stylist I can have a committed relationship with.

oh very cute! love the bangs

V. cute Jamie! Your bangs are hot!

Super cute!! I love the bangs – they look great on you!

Lookin’ good!

You look so pretty, Jamie. I like the bangs, suit you very much.

you look great! love the bangs. I am definitely overdue for a cut and color, but I have been putting it off since it costs me about $90 (including tip). I would go elsewhere but the lady who does my hair has been doing it for years, since I was in junior high/high school! there’s a trust factor there, you know… I just need to suck it up and spend the money because my roots are like 5 inches long! ha!

Wow, I really like your new hair style! It looks good on you, really does.

I’m jealous – I tried a new salon last month and hated it. Hopefully the next time I need to get my hair done I will have better luck!

Now THAT’S a haircut. Gorgeous!

Love your bangs! Last time I got a new stylist was also my first cut with bangs since I was, like, ten. And I adore them.

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like forehead is OUT this year. So our fashion-loving Jamie is right on it )

Love it!! That's so affordable too – nothing better. See you soon!
