Sparrow

At Time Out, we are constantly refreshing our citywide rankings to keep pace with Chicago’s ever-evolving landscape and ensure you’re always connected to the best of the best. In our latest 2026 reporting, Sparrow has officially claimed the number-one spot as the city’s premier hair salon—a well-deserved honor for this longtime Logan Square mainstay.

Hair stylists Suki McAdams and Bathsheba Nemerovski run Logan Square’s Sparrow, the it-girl salon of this artsy neighborhood. Proudly branding itself as a salon for “sensitive people,” Sparrow is a sanctuary for those who value both high-end artistry and environmental consciousness.

As a clean-air and Amazon-free space, it is arguably Chicago’s premier destination for sustainable hair color. Beyond its stunning design, the salon is celebrated for low-maintenance cuts and effortless, natural-looking color. Sparrow also champions inclusivity through genderless pricing, allowing each stylist to set a single, transparent standard. Now, with their new location, the experience extends beyond hair to include a full suite of spa services, such as waxing and massage.
