Like some of the reviews mention, this isn't the place to go if you're on a budget. As a guy, I'm not used to paying over $50 for a cut, but that's what it ended up being here. The student price, as it clearly states above (but which I somehow missed), is only available on Wednesday. New customers get a $10 gift certificate.
Price aside, my stylist was pleasant and gave me what I was looking for. The haircut included a nice head massage, which almost lulled me into sleep.
I probably won't go back, but that's more to do with price than with quality. -
Review from Jacqueline S.

I starting looking into getting a cut at Icon because of the 15% student discount. It got a few meh reviews, but I figured I could at least take a look at the website.
It turns out that 1) Icon has new owners, who reopened in fall 2010, and 2) one of them is a stylist I used to love at Shanti.
First, if you're looking for a good deal on a cut (even with the student discount), Icon is probably not the place for you. It's a fancy salon, complete with fancy salon prices (although still not that bad), and apparently it's a popular place for the concierge at the Hotel Mac to refer clients to.
That being said, I've been to some salons where it was pretty obvious they didn't think I belonged there. You won't see that here. The staff were probably more casual with me than with super fancy clients, but they were still very friendly and I received the same quality of service.
I'm also super happy to have found Christina again. She just gets what I want... some stylists have a hard time really understanding that I am going to spend 30 seconds or less on my hair most mornings, and I end up with a cut that actually takes work. Every time I've seen her, I've been very happy with my cut, and I can even manage getting it to look good on my own. I also got a lesson in improving my drugstore box dye-jobs at home, much appreciated since I can't afford to get my hair coloured in salons.
I won't be back here too soon, but when I've saved up for another nice haircut, this is where I'll be. -

I walked past this place for so many years, before finally deciding to give it a try. The reason it attracted me so much was because they always have interesting displays in the window of either cool art or some sort of play on the conventional. It seemed like this place was rather edgy, since I used to see girls who worked here with bright green mohawks. This edge, along with the fact that it's in a nice building like Commerce Place, made Icon Architexture really appeal to me.
I made an appointment with a random stylist. She was pretty cool and nice with a punk style. She brought me to the back to a room with a bunch of sinks to wash my hair. I was surprised how big this salon was, because it seems rather small from the outside. She cut my hair pretty fast, and I think it cost me $40, give or take. I went home, and I realized that one side of my hair was longer than the other. It looked terrible, so I went back. She fixed it, and it did look okay, but my haircut wasn't edgy at all. It was rather plain and boring.
I decided not to go back to Icon and not to judge a salon by its show window. -

I was in need of a haircut and since I am not very picky I stopped in here as I was passing by.
The salon is much bigger than it appears and it is really nice on the inside, a bit of a modern look and nothing over the top. I got a basic cut, nothing crazy and they did a good job but the reason I liked this place was the staff. I found everyone to be extremely friendly, very outgoing and fun. The stylist cutting my hair was great to talk to, it seemed like we had known each other forever.
I was lucky enough that I could just walk right in but other times I have walked by this salon it's been really busy so you might want to make an appointment. It's a fun experience. -

Ok, so I gave Icon another try. I was walking through Commerce Place when I passed a mirror and remembered I was desperately in need of a haircut. I decided to give them a try again - and I'm glad I did. A woman named Jayme cut my hair and I honestly haven't had such a hip, modern cut in long time. This time the service was exceptional, and I have to say that the salon has improved by leaps and bounds. I learned it's under new management. The studio has adopted a more boutique-style environment, with artwork on the walls and they even have a tattoo studio attached. The place was quiet, as it was in the middle of the afternoon during the week, but I wouldn't be surprised if weekends are packed. I was really impressed with Jayme's friendly service and she even gave me tips for styling my hair, without pushing product on me - a pet peeve of mine at salons. I will definitely go back for a haircut, and may even try a colour there next time. Keep up the good work, Icon.
