Best Hair Salons In Highland Park

“Eren is FANTASTIC! She gives a great haircut and colors hair beautifully! 9/4 update: received another great haircut today!“

“Talk about AMAZING! I went into this reading with a whole list of questions and never once did I look back at my paper because Mary Lou intuitively guided me with answers to my questions. She's provided well needed validation, and a perspective shift that I innately feel but I can't always put into words. Like anything in life, it's nice to have an expert to bounce ideas off, so getting to talk to someone whose an expert on the energy that's felt around you, your circle, your location, it's really an eye opening experience and we're lucky to have her!“

“I brought my daughter here. The stylist listened to her and and asked questions about the reference image she picked. She will be leaving here happy with all smiles.“

“Amy is wonderful! She pays close attention to detail and takes her time, making sure the cut and color are exactly what I want. She's been doing my hair for so long! I highly recommend Amy!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Marzena and the whole team at Salon Vole! Marzena is incredibly skilled, she does my full highlights flawlessly every time. She listens, offers great suggestions, and delivers results that exceed expectations. The salon itself is welcoming, clean, and well-run, with a friendly atmosphere that makes every visit a treat. Highly recommend!“

“Jenny is the absolute best in the business!! I’ve been getting my hair cut with Jenny for a few years at Sola Highland Park. Not only is it the best cut I’ve ever had but Jenny’s personality and kindness make the experience that much better. 10/10 every time“

“ALX is a beautiful upscale salon. The stylists are terrific & everyone is always greeted with a friendly warm smile.“

“Sam is the absolute best!! He pays so much attention to detail with my hair and works incredibly fast while still making my hair perfect! I have very curly thick hair and you would never know based on how great he is. Highly highly recommend booking him for all types of hair!“

“Ross id like s beloved family member. It’s fun to go there whether to find a nerdedvitem or just browse. Employees know your name, favorite items and things you might like. Best of all prices are reasonable. A greatcneighborhoody place. It’s like an old fashioned general store !“

“I cannot recommend Hunter more. I’ve been seeing her for quite some time and every single time she knows exactly what I need with minimal description. She truly knows how to make you look (& feel) like the best version of you. I honestly could never imagine going to someone else.“

“Todd does great haircuts always so clean and friendly.. he is always on time and if you get there ahead of your appointment and he is available he will take you in..“

“Morten is an excellent stylist I ever worked until now. This shop is very clean and the ambiance is very cool. I would highly recommend this place..“

“When my husband and I moved to Highland Park 2 years ago, we needed to find a lot of new business and professional services, including a hairdresser. I didn’t think that would be too difficult, as there were a lot of hair salons in this area. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I tried 3 different salons, during a 2-year period. Each time, I explained what I wanted, and each time I was told that they could accommodate me. Although I stayed with each salon for several months, they were not able to give me a satisfactory hair stye. Each time, I got tired of wasting my time and money, and looked for another option. Then I found Lynn, at Untangle Hair Studio, in Highland Park! Like other stylists, before she did anything, Lynn discussed with me what I wanted. However, she also managed to find some roots of my original hair color, she considered my skin coloring, and overall appearance, and then suggested that I would look best with a darker shade. She was right, and I really appreciated her wholistic approach. Most important, Lynn was able to give me a style that was exactly what I was looking for! It has made such a difference for me, and I am so happy that I found her. I would recommend Untangle Hair Studio to everyone. It is a fresh, newly converted, welcoming space, with an experienced, talented owner.“

“I really appreciate Renata's work and her attentive, individual approach to each client. I also love how my haircut keeps its original shape even as my hair grows out.“

“Lynn has been my stylist for 20 years! Lynn used to work out of Lakeview (Chicago) but now she’s opened her new solo cozy salon in downtown Highland Park. Now I drive from the city all the way out to visit her! Her new place is sparkling clean and there are no other stylists. Easy parking, and reasonable prices for both men and women. I highly recommend Lynn, and Untangled.“

“Absolute miracle workers tbh. Lena in particular is my hero for her ability to tackle my extremely long, extremely thick hair in record time. For context, I'm someone who has had salon workers who've never worked with me before take up to 2 hours on my hair; the stylist I've worked with the most could do my hair in an hour. And then there's Lena: her first time giving my hair a blow-out, it took her about 45 minutes with a bit of back-up. This most recent visit, though? 30 minutes, all on her own. Is she a wizard?? If you're like me and both (1) on a budget and (2) looking for someone who can handle a whole lot of hair, I definitely recommend the Highland Park location! If you likewise have really for real a ton of hair, I'd suggest calling ahead rather than booking online to ensure that they'll have enough time for you, especially on short notice. (Normally every appointment slot is just 30 minutes, but if you communicate with them over the phone you can work out a longer slot.) Or else you could just book with Lena directly, since apparently she's magic! As for BloOuts as a whole: pretty standard blow-dry bar, if you've been to one before. Small but classy space with a bright, airy feel. Not as chi-chi as Dry Bar, which I think is probably the most well known of this type of salon. It feels a bit less luxurious as a result, but the results are just as good and the vibe is more personal.“

“I’ve jumped around to several different salons in the area and wasn’t pleased enough to go back to any. I recently got my hair cut by Cody and I’m so happy with the result! His salon was very clean and organized, and he was so kind to both me and my daughter (who came with me). I’ll definitely be back!“

“No appointment necessary but I have had to wait up to 20 minutes. Their new location is larger than the previous one near Metra and tucked off the street. Price and attention can’t be beat when all you want is a good clean haircut.“

“Teshanna came to my home to help do my hair and makeup for a newborn photoshoot I had later that day. She was accommodating by working with my schedule by arriving very early in the morning. She came very well prepared, more than I expected and did a fabulous job as a result of her skills. Along with her supplies (suitcases of hair supplies and makeup) she brought her own makeup chair and ring light. She took a minimum time to set up everything and it was like she brought a whole studio to me. She’s personal, prompt and professional. I felt like I had an artist and a friend come to my house because of her personality. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely work with her again.Services: Makeup services“

“The Best Color Salon in Highland Park & The North Shore

Taylor Reese Color Salon in Highland Park is truly a gem. I’ve tried many salons over the years, and nothing compares to the experience I’ve had here. Mouna and her team are absolute professionals when it comes to color. They consistently deliver stunning results, and their attention to detail is unmatched.

I have a very sensitive scalp, and nearly every other salon I’ve tried left me red, itchy, and irritated for days. On top of that, my hair has a tendency to turn brassy after coloring, no matter what products were used. That all changed when I found Taylor Reese. The products they use are top-of-the-line and clearly chosen with both health and beauty in mind. My scalp feels completely comfortable during and after my appointments, and the color stays beautiful and true—no brassiness at all.

Mouna is not only incredibly skilled, but she’s also warm, attentive, and truly listens. She takes the time to understand what you’re looking for and customizes the process to fit your hair type, tone, and goals. Her team reflects the same level of care and professionalism.

The salon itself is stylish, clean, and inviting. Every visit feels like a treat. Whether you’re going for a bold new look or maintaining your perfect tone, you can trust that you’ll walk out feeling confident and looking your best.

If you’ve been searching for a color salon that delivers beautiful results without compromising the health of your scalp or hair, Taylor Reese is it. I’m so grateful I found this place and won’t go anywhere else.

Highly recommend Mouna and the entire team at Taylor Reese Color Salon.“

“I recently visited Arielle, and I couldn't be happier with my experience!
She was incredibly patient, taking the time to listen to my concerns about my hair. I left the salon feeling very happy. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, I highly recommend!“

“I have been going to M Salon for years- love the friendliness of the salon, cleanliness, professionalism of the owner, Michelle. I have had color from all colorists- quality products, listen well, and can't think of a time I've been dissatisfied. Likewise, I've had blow-outs from most, and my hair always looks great. Love this place!!“

“Kathleen came to my rescue! Sadly my hair was a mess, blonder than blonde, yellow along with brassy. She completely brought my base color back to its original and highlighted with blond tones for a lighter look for summer. She is very professional, talking the process through the entire time. I wanted to use an organic color, All Nutrient, which she works with. I am in love with my hair once again! Thank you Kathleen!!!!Service: Hair coloring“

“The staff was very kind and personable. I don't usually have a good experience going into makeup stores but this team was wonderful.“

“Edita is amazing! She's been my go to girl for the last 23 yrs. Whether your looking for a new hair style, color or facial , she is by far the most excellent Esthetician I've ever encountered. Not to mention she's become a great friend over the years. Glad to add Karyyn the manicurist to my favorites as well. Check it out!!!“
