Lombard Beauty Salon — Hair Salon in 2439 Lombard St

I'm crying as I'm writing this. If you don't have time to read the rest of my review, I'd take this as a sign to not go. This is the worst haircut I've ever gotten in my life. Today I wanted to go for a more affordable haircut as my usual salon is now out of my budget. Inspired by the movie Materialists, I decided I wanted to get bangs today. I showed the hair stylist the photo of the bangs I wanted-- TWICE and reiterated that I wanted it just like the photo. The first red flag is when I showed the photo of the bangs to her again, she told me she was going to cut it longer as the length in the photo would cover my eyes. Clearly, I'm not getting bangs because I think it's practical for my eyesight, it's a style choice. I told her again that I wanted it as short as the photo (attached). Second red flag-- my hair is parted in the middle as that's how I usually wear it, but I wanted to transition to bangs, so ALL the hair should go in the front. She proceeded to cut my bangs as my hair was still parted. She didn't ever put both sides together to measure it. She left my hair parted in the middle, which is very confusing because I wanted bangs and bangs go in the front, as seen in the photo (or is just typical common knowledge). At some point, I told her to stop cutting because she kept making my bangs worse. After showing me the back of my hair (I wanted some layers), she picks up the scissors AGAIN and continues to cut my bangs. After she was done-- I was mortified and holding back tears. I've never felt so insecure leaving a hair salon and had to hold back tears in the chair. I'm attaching a few photos: the way my hair looked when I left (2 photos, one of each side of my hair), and 1 more photo of what my hair would look like if I were to put it in the front (as bangs are supposed to look). As you can see, my hair is a disaster and looks nothing like the photo I showed her several times. Cherry on top? The price on the website is incorrect. It shows $60 for cut/blowout, it's actually $80. Moral of the story? Avoid this place unless you want the worst haircut of your life.

Maggie gave me an excellent haircut and was super friendly! Can definitely recommend! 🙏

I feel bad leaving poor reviews but just need to warn others - if you’re a person with long hair, who cares about their haircuts, do not let the man here touch your hair. I should’ve known better, but he did a dry cut, cut off too much and it was completely uneven (everything was - overall length wasn’t even, layers weren’t even and bangs were baaad). I had to go to another salon immediately afterwards and get it fixed. He was very nice but I didn’t even want to let him try to fix it because it would’ve been worse. I did hear that Maggie (other person at the salon) does great short hair / men’s haircuts though!

Every time we travel to the USA, our son Sumanth insists on taking his father (my husband) to Maggie for a haircut, and without fail, she works her magic. After each session, my husband has even started capturing his hair's post-cut perfection in photos, proudly displaying them to hairdressers back in India. Maggie's talent is simply remarkable, matched only by her humility and kindness. In all our years, we've never come across someone as gifted and down-to-earth as Maggie. A visit to her is a promise of not just a haircut, but a wonderful experience. As someone who's never felt the urge to write reviews before, I was so moved by Maggie's skill, demeanor, and approach that I had to ask my son if there was a way for me to share this with the world. And here I am, fulfilling that intention at 65.

Amazing haircut! Best 30 dollars spent :) and Phil is a great barber, try making appointments with him! Really friendly and professional staff, clean work too
