Best Hair Salons In Evanston

“I love this salon for my natural styles and maintenance, as I like to try new things. The Lock Me Down Gel is THE PRODUCT! I have psoriasis and have tried many other gels, creams, sprays, etc to hold down my edges and braid my hair with but they all irritate my scalp. This gel is the only thing I have found that doesn’t. I’m a lifetime customer from now on!“

“Everyone was so friendly, pleasant atmosphere and great result on my haircut and highlights with Kelsey .Never been happier !!“

“I’ve been going to Michèle for almost two years now, and EVERY SINGLE SERVICE she’s done for me has left me feeling like the most beautiful woman. Her styles hit every time, and I’m so grateful that she is my stylist. Michèle cares for all her clients and truly wants to make them feel like the best versions of themselves. I’m so grateful for her!“

“Karina is always so welcoming and makes my experience great! She really listens to what style I ask for and my hair always looks so beautiful and natural when she's done. Thank you again, Karina!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Texture with Yuki, and I love my new hair cut (long hair to chin length). I have fine, dense hair and have always struggled with managing and styling it. One thing I really appreciated was all the styling instructions. Looking forward to my next haircut!“

“I cannot recommend Kelly enough! She was SO much fun to work with and had the best personality—exactly the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding day. She made me feel so beautiful, and my hair turned out even better than I imagined.

Even though we didn’t have a bridal party, she did hair for a few of my friends and family members, and they all looked and felt gorgeous. And the best part? My hair did. not. budge. Despite having our entire wedding outdoors in October, it stayed perfect from start to finish.

Kelly is incredibly talented, upbeat, and an absolute joy to be around. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel confident, relaxed, and stunning on your wedding day, she’s the one.“

“Came here after my previous stylist moved away. Very happy I did! May Lin is great. She is very experienced, listened well and the cut was very good. I totally trust her with my hair and I look forward to the next cut. One thing she suggested was to bring a photo of exactly what I want if I have trouble describing it. I may try that next time. Scheduling was easy too and the salon itself is well maintained. Highly recommend!“

“I got a haircut from Sunny Kim today and had a great experience. She was a great listener and listened to what I wanted while also providing her thoughts on what might suit me. She's clearly very talented, knowledgable, and experienced. She also gave a great little head massage while she was washing my hair, which I loved. Sunny was friendly and easy to talk to and I was so happy with my haircut!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for about six months now. By far the best haircuts I’ve gotten in years. I’ve also never felt as polished and confident as I have after getting my hair cut by Moe. Everyone here does great work, but Moe really knocks it out of the park - he’s super talented and has given me helpful advice about how to make impactful adjustments to both my hair and beard.“

“Vincent is the best—very attentive to details and always nice to talk to! I have gotten my hair cut here 3 times now over the past year, and they have turned out perfectly each time. Vincent has also given me some great advice on taking care of my hair and has an impressive memory of our previous conversations. Can't recommend enough!“

“I’ve been going to Lea for years for my haircuts and she always gets it just right. She really listens to what I want and the result is always exactly what I was looking for!

I recently got my first balayage with Lola..I wanted that natural, sunkissed look and she totally nailed it. It looks so soft and natural, I’m obsessed!

Both Lea and Lola are amazing. Can’t recommend them enough!“

“Alexandra is the best colorist I have been too. She has been doing this for years and I wish I met her a long time ago. Her products are top of the line and every time she does my hair the color is vibrant and lasts! Her attention to detail is always on point! She also gives great detailed information on products for your specific hair type. If you really want a colorist perfectionist, Alexandra is the girl to see!“

“Update: July 2025
I’ve been seeing Ming for a year or so now. My color is gorgeous, all my breakage I previously had underneath is growing out, health and soft texture are returning. I LOVE my color. The staff are sweet and friendly as always. I can’t say enough good things… blondes, trust this place! I promise.

Had a haircut with Ming 10/10! Months later, I’m a repeat color client as well and my hair quality has greatly improved due to her advice.She is meticulous about her craft, listens to what you want but makes it so much better. If you are needing advice/help with your hair and its health this salon seems to be the place. I've been unhappy with my hair's quality over the past year and seriously needed guidance on cut, color, product etc. Ming was so helpful and patient with me as I’ve had bad past experiences with color. They clearly take their time with clients and care about the fine details. Blondes… rest assured you are in great hands with Ming! Would highly recommend.“

“Oh my goodness- I cannot say enough good things about this salon! I got my hair done for a wedding with a Great Gatsby theme. And Sandy did my hair 2x to ensure it was fresh for the wedding and she helped with me with my make-up! You don’t get that kindness everywhere! And I looked really good! I got soooo many compliments! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!“

“I love coming here. I have special needs for my hair as I never use store-bought. and Evie is never judgmental. She meets my needs with curiosity and positivity. She’s always giving me tips for what else I can try that stays within my regimen. Plus she gives amazing haircuts that grow out well.“

“The only person I’ll ever trust with my face again lol. She always does my eyebrows so beautifully and I received a facial today as well. She always takes care of me and makes me feel relaxed!“

“This was my first session with Hannah and I love the results! The color is so fun She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and made suggestions based on her expertise. I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with as she gets to know me and my hair better at future appointments.“

“Love this boutique style salon. All the ladies are talented and make you feel special. I usually get my hair cut by Jenny. She cuts dry and this is great for me I love the precision it leaves.“

“Matt has mastered all the arts and sciences of haircare, style and interacting with customers. The salon feels like a private oasis, with quiet, style and pampering at the highest feel good level. Matt is a superb stylist!“

“I was nervous coming in for a first time for a haircut. I shouldn’t have been. Risa took the time to understand my hair, how minimally I style it, and what I was looking for in a haircut. I left, looking about 10 years younger and feeling great. Thanks so much Risa.“

“Unwana was referred to me by a great friend that has had amazing hair growth results with her 6 month sew-in service. This was my very first time getting a sew-in. From the braid down, install, and styling she made sure I was happy with my service. My braids felt secure but not tight and I don’t feel the tension that I have felt after receiving other protective styling in the past. She was very professional and I felt like I had known her for years. I highly recommend her services.“

“She did a great job, with lots of careful attention to detail and great communication. I'll be back for sure.“

“This is a very small salon if you do not look close enough you will miss it. It is next to Tapas Barcelona on Chicago Ave in Evanston. Marian is the main stylist and she is wonderful and extremely accommodating with appointments as well as hair washing process. She has given me two fabulous haircuts that I absolutely loved and her styling fees are very reasonable. There is also free parking garage around the corner (you get one hour for free) ask Marian and she will direct you!“

“I have been going to Fairus for over 15 years now! She does a great job with my hair and my beard. Her newly remodeled shop is welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommended.“
