About

To Dye For Hair is a small business owned by Monica MacDonald, who does the hair herself from a space inside Hair Flow Studio on West Cullerton in Chicago. The business aims for each client to feel safe, accepted and comfortable being themselves, with the service shaped around that client's needs, comfort level and expectations.

Color is the core of the menu. Options run from an Olaplex color add-on or bond builder through single process color, partial and full highlights, balayage, double process, bleach and tone, toner and glaze, silver hair, creative vivid and special effect color, and color correction. First-time color clients can book a free 15-minute consultation by FaceTime, text or in person. Silver hair and color correction both require a consultation before booking, and creative color asks new clients to have one too.

Haircuts and styles include bang, neck, side and beard trims, clipper cuts for very short hair, blow outs with a round brush, and pixie, medium, long and thick haircuts. Monica's cutting work covers a broad range, from long layers to short fades, pixies, shags, mullets and bobs.

Extensions are offered as removal, and as pinch braid or weft sew-in installs. These are made without glue, chemicals or protein bonds. Pinch braid and weft sew-in extensions require an in-person consultation before booking.

Some practical points: the listed hours are Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 7 PM, with other days sometimes available. Walk-ins are not accepted and there is no waiting area. The space is accessible for people with disabilities and offers Wi-Fi. For double process, bleach and tone, and creative color, clients are asked not to wash their hair before the appointment. The Booksy profile shows a 5.0 average from 110 reviews.

Each service is fitted to the client's own needs, comfort level and expectations, with the goal of making every visit feel comfortable and accepted.
