YELP READERS LOVE MARQUIN SALON:

• “I am very particular about my hair and I love the fact that they specialize in conditioning your hair. I also like the fact that they use ceramic flat irons, which place less heat on the hair. Not to mention that the owner Monte Montgomery is ultra fabulous. You can't help but be fabulous in his presence.” –Nicole L.
• “Monte has been and continues to give the best haircuts in Chicago! Not only am I completely satisfied by his services, I know all of my friends both men and women have had nothing but great things to say about Marquin Salon. The salon is a unique atmosphere, being that it is an international salon. Monte himself is the best stylist I have ever been too. I never knew there was such a thing as the Hair Olympics until I went to his salon. I found that he has and is competing in this year's competition. I know that having someone that can not only take care of  me and the people that I refer, is comforting. If you haven't been there, then GO! He is professional and the best kept secret in the city!” –Brandon L.

• CITYSEARCH READERS LOVE MARQUIN SALON:

  “After moving to Chicago in 2005 and searching for close to 2yrs for a stylist, I was about to give up. I have very coarse and wavy hair and it's very difficult to manage. My husband came home and spoke of Monte who owns Marquin and that a coworker and his wife have being going to Monte for a while and only had great things to say of the salon. It's a one-man show, but let me tell you folks, this guy is beyond wonderful and his prices for color and cut are unbelievable for the results you get. I recently had to move back to Texas and flew back in to have him color and cut my hair. He'll have me as a client for life! Please, do yourself a favor…give Monte a try. All I can say is wow! I myself use to be a hairdresser and give him total thumbs up. Looking forward to seeing him again, worth the plane ticket! Thank you Monte for such great service and great conversation. By the way, you can also get facials and eyebrow waxing there too with Shelly. Fantastic!” –rlevine
• “1 visit and you'll be a customer 4 Life. I dropped of my girlfriend to get her hair done at Marquin. I arrived early to pick her up so I went in. I was impressed by the decor of the salon, but even more impressed with the owner/stylist, Montgomery. After talking for a few minutes, I could see he knew his stuff…I can see how he won all those international hair competitions. His trophies speak to that. Pros: They are up on all the newest techniques and styles. Cons: That I didn’t discover him sooner” – dmaris13
