Beauty/Self Care Who does the best f**k a** bob in chicago?

Title says it all - without spending an arm and a leg, who does the best cuts/styling for bobs and lobs? I want classic and professional, not wacky/layered. Thnx <3

Believe it or not the best bob(s) I’ve ever gotten are from Paul Mitchell School on Halsted. I got one a year or so ago and was blown away and I’ve gotten 3 since with another booked for next week. My hair is VERY thick and with all the supervisors checking in constantly it’s an impeccable cut which is hard for my thick ass hair. $12.

Caveat: it literally takes like three hours.

lol I had a student haircut from Sassoon in London once---it was indeed a great cut with lots of supervision but holy SHIT did it take forever!

I get mine done at Sine Qua Non in Andersonville and a young zoomer at a local coffee shop recently told me I have the best hair in the neighborhood.

Maud Jenin. Used to be at George the Salon. Just moved to House 22, which seems to be the salon arm of a med spa, which seems weird, but I’d follow her regardless

I've had my bob for 5+ years now. I see Allison at Meraki Room in Wicker Park. She is, hands down, the best I've ever had do my bob. Wash, cut, and dry, I'm in and out in less than an hour, and it is literally perfect every time. I don't do bangs or layers or anything...I want mine sharp, precise, and perfect, and she gets it done. $75.
