  If you are a curly girl, you know how difficult it os to find a stylist that can cut your hair and you don't end up looking like orphan Annie.. well look no further, Melissa at Base Salon is "the one." She cut my hair in long layers, not sacrificing length or style. My curls fell perfectly the next day after washing, which is extremely rare-it usually takes a week for "her" (my hair) to settle in to a new cut. So thrilled to have found someone that says they can cut curly and actually can! I also got highlights as I am graying and the color os perfect. Im not one to get color normally but it added great dimension to my curls.

  Recently, my hairstylist that I’d been using for 12 years moved out of the state. A family member recommended Krysta at base salon. Although I am over an hour from the city, I decided to give her a try. At the beginning my appointment, I gave Krysta two or three pictures of the color and cut that I was looking for. She gave me a 15 to 20 minute consultation, which included suggestions and recommendations of her own. After agreeing on the color and the cut, she proceeded to give me an excellent haircut and the perfect color. I am in my 60s…so she started with a brown base adding in blonde highlights that blended in with my current hair color. When completed, I was extremely happy with the color and cut. My oldest son greeted me with a compliment that evening, saying I look 10 years younger. :) Thank you, Krysta! Jackie

  The absolute best salon in Chicago! I have seen both Melissa and Krysta and they are both incredibly amazing. They spend so much time making sure your hair turns out the exact way you want it. They also spent extra time with me making sure I had the perfect hair routine to make sure my hair was as healthy as it could be. I have never had a better experience at a salon. When I first started going my hair was brassy and damaged and within in a year of going there I have the exact color I want and my hair is healthier than it has been in a long time. Strongly recommend!

  I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Base Salon. I felt welcomed and taken care of. The staff is genuinely friendly and professional. Melissa always listens to what I want and offers suggestions that made the end result even better than I imagined. I love her creativity, skill and confidence. I wouldn’t trust my hair to anyone else and highly recommend Melissa! If you’re looking for a salon that combines skill, attention to detail, and a truly relaxing experience, owner Krysta has created this in Base Salon.
