The Chair List · Chicago Edition · Nº 01

Chicago Black Hair Salons.

80+ stylists for natural hair, braids & locs — vetted by the community.

Chicago is the pilot. We're building The Chair List one city at a time — starting here, then expanding to Atlanta, NYC, D.C., Houston, LA, and Detroit based on where readers tell us to go next.

Every hair journey is personal — check current Instagram, read recent Google and Yelp reviews, confirm they’re taking new clients, and make sure their vibe matches yours before you book.
