Outstanding Hair Dresser for Men
by davidkovac at Citysearch
I am a full-time Performing Artist here in the City of Chicago, and I highly recommend Patrick Anderson for a quality Men's Haircut. If your appearance is important to you, then find someone who understands their craft and also knows how to listen. No one has more experience in this department than Mr. Anderson. If you have an important engagement or photo shoot (even the very same day), don't take chances ... Get a PRO. Gratitude, Mr. Kovac.

Great Results!
by Ashley Marie at Citysearch
Patrick never fails to make my hair exactly how I want it. He takes time to listen to what I'm looking for and uses his extensive knowledge and experience to give great results that fit my lifestyle -- all while taking care of the condition of my hair to keep it healthy and manageable. I'm always happy when I leave the salon, which is why I keep going back!

Amazing Master of his Art
by bluerain at Citysearch
For all the Blond bombshells out there the search is over, I have found the most talented hair colorist in the whole of Chicago, PATRICK ANDERSON.
I found him by accident when I was researching color correction on the internet, I needed to find someone who was extremely experienced and at the top of his game to fix yet another botched hair color I had undergone.
I went into his salon wearing a hat to hide the hideous color of my hair, the color was like dirty dishwater, no contrast, no depth just like a wig , absolutely awful. I am not afraid to admit I had cried a river of tears before coming to see him and had lost all hope of restoring my hair to its beautiful glory of highlighted blond hair again
Immediately on entering the salon he made me feel at ease and gave me hope because after a hair disaster of this magnitude I needed nothing short of a miracle.
His knowledge of color is phenomenal and not one single hair on my head was damaged throughout the whole process.
He surpassed my expectations by a million miles, he brought back my blond hair from the dead I have never felt so good leaving a hair salon I skipped home checking my reflection the whole way.
Patrick comes with the highest recommendation, I will never let another hairdresser touch my hair.
Patrick you are truly a master of your art, I cannot thank you enough.

The very best
by kritikern at Citysearch
I went to see Patrick last week after a friend had told me about this salon.
After several years with the same old look, Patrick gave me a new and exciting feel. It's not just about the cut, it's so much more
I have recommended him to everyone I know and hopefully people reading this will pick up my "two thumbs up" here as well.
* Pros: Hair and Experience

Wonderfully skilled and Sensitive
by tomatogirl8 at Citysearch
Patrick is a superb stylist who takes his job to an artisan level. He is excellent if you are looking to "recreate" yourself without going wild as he approaches hairstyling like an artist. Upon repeat visits you realize how he is continually thinking about the concept of who you are professionally and personality wise. Depending on your needs and personality he will go as wild "mod" or restrained. My resulting hairstyle feels professional, balanced, clean with a modern touch that is sincere and matching to my needs.
Your initial visit may surprise as he is not a hyper polished stylist in an uber posh salon. But you can tell he is very dedicated to his craft, has a tremendously solid background and is very interested in understanding his client's personality. The results I have gotten from him are very modern & chic and I am very happy. If you are looking for "conceptual" change (and continual growth) in a non-pretentious environment for a balanced, chic and rounded look I highly recommend him.
* Pros: Dedication to balance of hair to your personality
* Cons: Initial visit may surprise, results easily trump surprise
