Living in Paris, I often come to Chicago and took the opportunity to find a good hairstylist for hair extensions since I couldn't find anyone in Paris who could do it well.After some online research, I found several salons, but I chose salon 833 and selected stylist Jane. You know what? I didn't make a mistake choosing Jane because she managed to create the dream hairstyle I had longed for and never found in Paris.Since then, I get my hair done by Jane at salon 833 every time I'm in Chicago. Jane is very professional, quick, kind, and highly efficient.I highly recommend Jane from salon 833 to those who appreciate fast and exceptionally well-done work.Happy New Year to everyone🥳

On Tuesday, November 21, 2023, I had the opportunity to get my hair done by Viviana at Salon 833. If I could rate my experience, it would definitely break my scale. Prior to my appointment, I had a couple consultations where she gave me options of what I could do to my hair. One night I showed her a video of what I wanted my hair to look like, and that's exactly what she gave me. Throughout the process, she would reassure me when it was needed. Viviana is super understandable, outgoing, and overall super sweet. If you are looking for someone to get your hair done, I would recommended Viviana! She does an amazing job.

I got highlights, lowlights, and a haircut from Ashley recently and I’m very very happy with both the color and the cut. The color is exactly what I wanted and it didn’t destroy my hair - it actually feels healthier somehow. I went shorter with the length than I planned and I’m so happy I did. It looks great even without styling it at all, which is exactly what I was hoping for!I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt rushed through a consultation at a salon, leaving me feel less than confident that the stylist understands what I want. This was not the case with Ashley. The whole experience felt so collaborative. She checked in with me often and asked lots of questions. I really liked that. She also has a delightful personality. Definitely recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hair extensions are additional hairpieces that blend with your natural hair to add length, volume, and style.

We use various methods like clip-in, tape-in, and sew-in, tailored to your hair type and preference.

When applied and maintained correctly, hair extensions are safe and don’t damage your natural hair.

The lifespan varies depending on the type and how well they are maintained – usually several weeks to months.

Absolutely! You can style your hair extensions just like your natural hair. Feel free to use heat tools for curling or straightening, but remember to apply a heat protectant first. Washing and cutting can also be done as usual, but we recommend having your extensions trimmed by a professional stylist at Salon833 to maintain their optimal look.

Choosing the perfect extensions involves matching them with your natural hair color and texture. At Salon833, our experts offer a color-matching service to ensure a seamless blend. Consider your lifestyle and hair type when selecting the type – for instance, tape-ins are great for fine hair, while weft extensions work well with thicker hair.

Yes, human hair extensions can be colored or dyed to match your hair color perfectly. However, we recommend this be done professionally to avoid damaging the extensions. Synthetic hair extensions, on the other hand, should not be colored as they can be damaged by the chemicals in hair dye.

To keep your extensions in top condition, wash them with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Brush them gently with a soft-bristle brush or a comb designed for extensions. Avoid sleeping with wet extensions and use a silk pillowcase to minimize tangling. Regular maintenance appointments are also key to their longevity.

Yes, hair extensions can suit almost all hair types. Salon833 offers a variety of extensions, such as keratin bonds for fine hair, and weft extensions for thicker hair. During your consultation, our stylists will advise on the best type of extensions for your hair texture and condition.

The lifespan of hair extensions varies depending on the type and how well they’re cared for. Generally, extensions need replacing every 6-8 weeks for tape-ins and 3-5 months for keratin bonds. Signs that your extensions need replacing include tangling, matting, or slippage.

Yes, you can sleep with your hair extensions in. We recommend braiding your hair or tying it in a loose ponytail to prevent tangling. Using a silk or satin pillowcase can also reduce friction and help maintain the integrity of your extensions.

When applied professionally, hair extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair and are virtually unnoticeable. Salon833 specializes in ensuring that your extensions look natural, matching your hair’s texture and color perfectly.

While it’s possible to swim and exercise with hair extensions, we advise taking precautions. Tie your hair up to prevent tangling when exercising. When swimming, avoid chlorinated or salty water as it can damage the extensions. If exposed, wash and condition them immediately afterward.
