I was given Linda's name as a superb person for hair color, and I went to my appointment at Blade yesterday. I went in with an unhealthy-looking drab shade of dark brown/red i...

Best Haircut EVER 11/27/2009

Great salon, always friendly, place is amazingly clean and the hair cuts are the best I ever had. I was a bit hesitant to leave my barber at first but after the haircut I got from Linda I was sold, and have not looked back since. I would Highly Recommend Blade Hair Skin Body to anyone that wants a superb haircut!!!!! Pros: Best haircut in town! more

LEXI Saved me! 11/11/2009

Lexi has saved my life with her micropoints after I had some loss of hair due to illness. I now have undetectable hair extensions ON TOP of my head and not a soul knows. I can again face the world with confidence. Thanks Lexi! Pros: Great personal attention. Awesome service! Cons: none that I am aware of. more

Linda is very Cool....but Alison is the Rocker 11/4/2009

I've been going to Alison for few years, like 3 or 4. She's a great stylist, very confident and really good at working with you. At this point, she can do whatever she wants with my hair b/c it always turns out great! If you are looking for a great hair cut, you have to come see her. She makes a difference and it's worth it. Pros: Easy, low key, stylish without pretentious swank Cons: you have to practically beg to get a head massage more

The best colorist and stylist 10/25/2009

Linda Licocci has been cutting my hair for 17 years. I have followed her around the city. Her beautiful new salon has been worth the wait. Linda is a master of color and cut. She is an artist. I get at least weekly compliments on my hair from someone I do not know. I love going to Blade! Pros: full service salon, experienced stylist, colorist Cons: parking during a Cubs game more

Linda is fabulous 10/23/2009

I went to Linda for 16 years before I moved from Chicago and still miss her skills 5+ years later. She always knew what would work the best with both my hair and personal style and even refused to do something once that would have been a disaster. In hindsight I was very glad she did! If only there were a Linda in Los Angeles...I miss her and her cuts! Pros: I always looked great! more

Linda Rocks! 10/23/2009

Linda really gets it when it comes to cutting my hair. Short, long, a little off the top, don't cut the bangs too short, let's have some fun with it - she does it all by listening to what I want and making it happen. The salon space is low key and fun, parking on the street is easy most of the time. Linda's a great gal and keeps me looking great, too! Pros: I get so many compliments on my hair! more

Always in style 10/22/2009

Linda @ Blade gets it right every time. Whether I ask for a specific cut or let her suggest something different, I am never disappointed. Although I know she is a fab colorist, I never got pressure while I was coloring my own hair. Great atmosphere in the shop--always professional. Blade gets my vote for sure. Pros: Consistently excellent cuts and hair care Cons: Can't think of any con except Lake View parking more

I love Blade! 9/20/2009

I had my makeup done by Amy for my cousins birthday party. She did a great job selecting colors that complimented my outfit. Her technique in applying the eye makeup was one that I never would have thought of myself. The result was great. I kinda felt like a superstar. Plus it lasted all day. I recommend Amy for any specail occasion makeup. I'll be seeing her again for my next party! Thanks Amy!!! more

Amy is Amazing!! 9/20/2009

I had a facial done by Amy and I absolutely loved it! It was so relaxing and my face felt very refreshed afterwards. She was very professional and explained to me how the products she used would benefit my skin. It was so nice to relax and unwind since I am a working mom. I highly recommend her facials!!!! I loved it! more

both professional and friendly 8/9/2009

I have a head of curly hair and Linda does an amazing job styling it! She has transformed my once stair-step choppy layers into long beautiful multi-layered curls. I ventured out to highlights (which I had not done since high school) and was very pleased by the result. It made my hair look warm and highlighted the curls nicely. I have been going to Linda ever since I moved to the city (2 years now) and will continue going back. She's professional and very friendly. She will take time to make sure you are pleased with the result. Pros: attention to detail, professional background more

STILL ONE HAPPY REDHEAD 7/13/2009

Being a natural redhead, I was nervous to have any color added to my hair. Not many people can work with such color and make it look real. ( If you've ever looked around the El, you know there are a lot of girls out there with really bad fake red hair). But Linda nailed it. She listened to what i was hoping for and translated it into color masterfully. She added the richness back into my natural color in a way that is both distinct and subtle. I love it. Trust me, if she can rock red, there's no color she can't nail. Pros: Comfortable Vibe, Friendly atmosphere, Cons: None at all more

Awesome stylist/colorist 7/9/2009

Linda has been wrangling my increasingly grey, demonic, ""lots of"" wavy/frizzy hair for 10+ years. I need to be able to blowdry it out, air dry or scrunch, pull back in pony tail or braid all while having some sort of style. She also is a very good listener and knows when to introduce more ""excitement"" or ""trends"" without pushing me too much out of my comfort zone since I need to live with it every day. I always get compliments! On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, I give Linda/Blade a ""12"" Pros: Talent, soothing environment more

Great Haircut!! 6/4/2009

I went to Linda after searching for a new stylist, she gave me a great cut after listening to what I wanted. She incorporated that with her skill and I love love love my new cut. A Perk was that I was at the salon on a Thurdsday and received a complimentary make up touch up.. which was perfect as I was meeting my husband for dinner after my appointment.. Pros: Professional Stylist... who listens to what you want Cons: can't think of anything more

Wonderful! 6/1/2009

I did not know that my first visit to Blade -over a year ago, was going to make me a big fan of this awesome salon. Since my first haircut until now, Linda has showed me that it is possible to achieve what most hair stylists would always tell me was impossible: A perfectly polished wash and wear style. She is an amazing artist that knows how to work with every hair texture to make the most of it with beautiful results. If you are not sure where to go, give Blade a try. You are going to love it! Pros: Relaxing atmosphere, incredible artists more

20+ Years of AWESOME Hair Artistry by Linda 5/7/2009

Linda Licocci has been cutting and coloring my hair for 20+ years. From city living to suburb living to now living 2 hours away -- Linda has done my hair! Color or haircut -- I ALWAYS get compliments and ""who does your hair"" and feel great about how I look. . What I like most is sitting in the chair and letting Linda take the lead. Her professionalism and artistry is second to none -- particularly with color. I look forward to my next visit so that I can hear the latest and look my best when I leave. Blade is an AWESOME salon -- great parking (right outside the door), relaxing environment and a great place just to sit a read a magazine! Blade also offers full skin care services which I have taken advantage of. Linda's colleagues at the salon deliver top notch services as well -- only the best from Linda and Blade! Pros: The Results, Salon and Linda more

Search no more! Linda (Blade)is the stylist for you! 5/5/2009

I have been a Linda convert since 1992. I have followed her all over the city and am happy she has her Blade! Linda is the most talented and creative person-- from her personal style, her singing to-- of course-- hair!! I can't say enough. I moved out of the city to the 'Burbs in 2000 and always made the trip for Linda. I had my 2nd child in 07and ""my time"" went on the back burner and I went to a stylist 4 minutes from my house-- but no more. I was just at Blade and got a highlight and cut. My husband said it all. When he saw my hair he loved it and asked who did it. I proudly said Linda! He said I thought so! Women -- and Men-- you deserve the Best and Linda is the one! Don't hesitate any longer. \r I can't wait to go back! I just sit in the chair and do not flinch to let Linda do what she feels like-- I am never disappointed. Thanks Linda! (Plus I just met Amy, the makeup stylist. She is adorable-- gave me a makeup touch up and made me look ""Wow!"") See you both soon! Pros: Linda is fabulous with cut, color and OMG-- the styling!! Cons: I don't go to her often enough! more

Only ALISON! 4/28/2009

Alison is the ONLY one I will ever let touch my hair. She is not only friendly and professional, but makes all the other hairstylists I've ever gone to seem like amateurs. She is up on what is hot and current but is also fantastic at traditional styles and cuts. Honestly, whatever you want she can do. Not only do, but do better than anyone else. I can not say enough or recommend her enough! And if you ever have her blowdry your hair (ladies)? You will never want to dry your hair yourself again! Magic! She is genius! I am so grateful to have found her!!! If you haven't made an appt with her yet, do! You will be glad you did!\r Pros: Professional, current, best hairstylist I've EVER had!!!! Cons: not one more
