Precision Haircut in Evanston, IL

Evanston is a lakefront suburb directly north of Chicago, home to Northwestern University and a downtown that rivals many city neighborhoods for restaurants and retail. The mix of college-town energy and established residential streets gives Evanston a unique character. Central Street and downtown Evanston along Sherman Avenue are walkable hubs with high standards for quality.

3rd Coast Salon serves clients from Evanston at our private studio in River North, Chicago. The look here is academic and refined. We get that.

What This Service Involves

A precision haircut at 3rd Coast Salon is not a trim. Phillip Fowler, our cut specialist, cuts to your natural hair fall. That means he works with how your hair actually grows and moves, not against it. He checks dry during the cut to see how the shape is forming in real time. The result is a cut that holds its shape for 8 to 12 weeks. Not 4 weeks of looking good followed by 8 weeks of growing out awkwardly. The internal layering is built to maintain its structure as it grows.

Why Clients From Evanston Choose 3rd Coast Salon

Phillip has been cutting at 3rd Coast Salon since it opened in 2022. He builds every cut around how you actually wear your hair. If you air-dry, the cut is designed for that. If you blow it out every day, the layers and weight distribution reflect that. This is a specialist approach. Phillip does cuts and extensions. He does not split his focus across color, blowouts, and everything else. Cutting is what he does all day, every day.

Getting Here From Evanston

Evanston to River North takes about 25 minutes by car via Lake Shore Drive or Sheridan Road. The Purple Line Express from Davis Street to Merchandise Mart is one of the fastest suburb-to-city CTA routes.

The salon is at 223 W Erie St, Suite 1E, Chicago, IL 60654. We are in a private suite on the first floor. Street parking is available on Erie, Huron, and surrounding streets. The nearest garage is at 222 W Huron.

Pricing

Haircuts are priced by service type. Women's, men's, and children's cuts are each priced differently. Contact us or book online for current pricing.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your first appointment includes a conversation about what you like about your current cut, what is not working, and how you style your hair on a daily basis. Phillip uses this to design the cut, not to upsell products or services. The appointment includes a wash, precision cut, and a finished style so you can see exactly how the cut looks when it is done.
