My review is long overdue as I experienced my first cut with Janet 2 years ago. I was trying to find a new stylist after moving to the city, and unfortunately, I had a what was, in my opinion, a disasterous cut, at another salon. A friend of mine referred Janet and I haven’t looked back. She listens and takes her time, and makes sure I can recreate what she’s done. I ALWAYS feel like a million bucks with my ‘rich girl’ hair even weeks after I see her!

This review is a little late! But I swear, I haven’t had a haircut as awesome as I had at Janet’s. All I did was gave a couple of ideas that were all over the place and she knew exactly what I wanted. That’s what I got! Loved the haircut and got the stamp of approval from all my friends at work.
Time to get another one…

Janet is truly a master at her craft. She’s got such a discerning eye for just the right shade/​amount of highlights and her haircuts are fabulous! You’ll love the vibe of her intimate shop, there’s always great music playing. I can always count on her being honest about what style works or doesn’t work for me. If you want «rich girl» looking hair but at an affordable price… Call and book your appointment today!!! You’ll love it.

My GF and I had a great time at Janet’s ‘Hair Party’ this past week! Such the hairdresser and hostess with the mostess! Met other interesting and friendly women, got my hair blown out and shopped for some great gift ideas (candles).
Quaint, cozy atmosphere. Janet is always welcoming with a great fun attitude. I love the red highlights I got from Janet this season!
I highly recommend this salon!

Highly recommended. Janet’s new ammonia free hair color is fantastic — great color, does not fade, no funky odor, results in soft shiny hair and it does not make my sensitive scalp itch.

Amazing! Janet Torelli at Spitcurl is a hair genius. She is savvy, sophisticated and cuts your hair to fit your face — brilliant! When you walk in all you smell is deliciousness in her beautiful vintage space. Comfortable, relaxing, but not an all day experience to get your hair done. Janet looks at you from different angles and asks questions most stylists don’t. The end result for me is hair that looks fantastic with or without styling product.
I highly recommend Janet Torelli at Spitcurl salon for an excellent Men’s haircut. Once you try Janet you will never go back to your old stylist!

Janet is the person to go to. She really understands hair and explains why she does what she does. I will never go anywhere else. Besides she’s fun and you can find other quirky stuff at her salon, like her handmade silver creations and wonderful candles.

This review is a little overdue, but I must share what I wonderful experience I had with Janet back in February. I had purchased a Lifebooker certificate for highlights/​cut, but decided I wanted to try something new, the ombré coloring style. Janet was kind enough to work with me to find an appropriate substitute for the value of the highlights.
I must say how impressed I was with her attention to detail, consideration for my hair type and treatment to get me the best results I could have imagined. I simply showed her a photo of the Ombré coloring style I wanted and voila! She made it happen.
I can’t wait to make my next appointment with her!

I’ve been letting my hair grow for over a year now, and I wanted to keep letting it grow but was struggling terribly with it! So much so, I contemplated cutting it all off almost daily! I have been going to salons and having my hair done from a very young age and have had more hair cuts than most women! After seeing Janet, I can honestly say I have never had such a detailed haircut in my life! Everything she did had a purpose, and she really listened to why I was struggling with my hair! It has been a month since my hair cut with Janet, and my hair still looks fabulous. I’ve gotten so many compliments! I can’t wait to go back and see her again! Janet is truly a miracle worker! :-)

Janet has awesome shave cream and after shave treatments. :0) And she has the best personality ever! A couple of my female friends go to her, and she’s made them look amazing.

As soon as found out Janet worked solo in her own salon, I knew she was the one for me. In my experience, when a hair dresser has the confidence, creativity, and good business sense to go out on their own I know the product is going to be fantastic. I must say, I was spot on!
Janet immediately knew what to do with my long, over bleached, fine hair. She colors my hair with great care as to not cause excessive breakage. She has my hair looking as healthy and gleaming as it did in my younger years. After a hair cut from Janet my thin hair looks twice as thick. Can’t tell you why that is, but is true! Janet Torelli does great hair!

If you want to look good for work or for play, go see Janet. Her scissors will blaze across your brow. A little pricier than most basic men’s cuts, but you’ll look fabulous once she’s done !

Janet has been my hairdresser for the better part of two decades. She has been there the whole time to cross the bridge into colored hair when it was time and into a shorter cut when the long curls were no longer appropriate. She is an expert colorist, a fantastic cutter and a wonderful, caring person. (In fact, I kid that my hair really belongs to her and that I only borrow it during the month.) The salon is a warm, inviting place with lovely scents and great music. If you are looking to connect with a hairdresser with whom you can get personalized treatment and not feel like a number in a waiting room, go to Spitcurl!

HIGHLY recommended. This salon is unique and you will leave looking great with a terrific cut or color. One look at owner/​stylist Janet Torelli’s fabulous curls and you know you are in expert hands. Anyone who can tame such temperamental locks can be trusted. She has an unerring eye for how the cut of your hair can showcase your eyes or cheekbones, or how just the right shade plays up your complexion. Her charming salon is light and airy but also refreshingly quiet — far from the bustle of most hair salons where you are passed from person to person, at Spitcurl you have Janet’s personal attention. Give this one a try (you’ll be back,)

I have followed Janet around Chicago for 20 years now — yes, she’s that good! Spitcurl is everything the other reviewers said — it’s more like Janet is the hostess and you are her guest for the next hour. I joke with Janet each and every time I’m there to see her about «what’s the music theme today», as there’s always a great mix playing. In fact I’ve even gone out to buy the music she’s had playing after hearing something new! Aside from the great music there’s always some wonderful scent from the candles and yes, even refreshments! What a nice way to get a haircut! Oh and don’t forget to check out her custom sterling martini pics and serving pieces — stunning!
