Best Hair Salons In Highland Park

“I was a little nervous going in to cut my hair here for the first time as I have very thick curly hair and haven’t gotten it cut in over 2 years. However, Louy and his team did an amazing job listening and giving me exactly what I wanted. Very kind and warm environment as well. Thank you all very much !“

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

“I've been going to Taylor Reese for many years. The vibe here is casual and friendly, but the services provided are high end. The salon has specialists for color or cut, and they can recommend someone if you have a particular need or challenge. They also offer skin care (Ellen) and brows as well as makeup (Foti). Both ladies are as delightful as they are talented. Mouna the owner is an absolute doll and her staff has had little turnover in all the years I've been going here - which speaks to a well run biz. Try Yulia for fabulous blond highlights, Yvonne or Vikki for a perfect cut. They also offer a great same day (wash your hair) keratin treatment that lasts for 3-4 months!“

“Very happy. Bridgette thoroughly explained everything she was doing and remained patient and upbeat as I took important calls. The cut turned out well and I’m grateful—all set for my wedding next week.“

“Jenny cut my hair for the first time yesterday. She was recommended by my previous hair stylist. She took plenty of time to listen to me and to examine my hair (thin, fine and curly). She did a great cut, and I will definitely be going back!“

“Stylist: Amy B White does a great job of analyzing my hair and listening to me about what I want.<br>She’s also great with color.<br><br>Amy has a great personality and is fun to talk to.<br>I would highly recommend her!“

“I absolutely loved my reading with Miscellaneous Magic! The specificity and clarity in which she could tell me very real things currently going on in my life, and for the future, were absolutely astounding. I will be returning, for sure!!I've already recommended to a few others, one of whom went to her immediately - and she is also very happy with her reading. :)“

“Cody James is the best! I moved away from Chicago… and will still fly in to get my hair done by him and nobody else! 10/10 recommend.“

“I have been a loyal client of my hairdresser Jenny for over a decade, and there's a good reason why I've never looked elsewhere. Her expertise and finesse in hair coloring and cutting are truly unparalleled. Over the years, Jenny has consistently delivered not just exceptional cuts and colors that are both modern and timeless, but she also provides a level of personal attention that makes each visit a delight. Her ability to understand and execute my vision, while offering professional insights that enhance my look, has been consistently impressive. Every appointment is a testament to her dedication and passion for hairstyling. I wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to anyone seeking a trusted expert who will make you look and feel fantastic.“

“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.“

“Jenna was recommended to me, and I’m so happy I made the switch. She provides an amazing cut and is a pleasure to chat with. She loves what she does and it translates to her work. Highly recommend!“

“Amanda dyed my daughter's hair. She's knowledgeable, friendly, and was a total sweetheart with my kiddo. Final result looks absolutely amazing. Well definitely be back!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Love this store in downtown Highland Park. The staff is friendly and helpful. Great skincare lines and salon products! They have all my favorites. I also like that they’ve added clothing. Just bought a great pair of jeans :)“

“Gala was amazing! Super delicate, she was attentive to all the details and used very good quality products! He has magical hands! God bless her, I will always return to her!<br><br>Stylist: Gala Joy“

“Stylist: Bella touched up my grays and foiled in some pretty highlights, followed by a blowout with some curls. She also gave my son a nice clean haircut. Wonderful service in the cutest shop!!!“

“So much faster than my typical balayage and SO MUCH BETTER TOO! Wish they had a website, no idea how enough people find out about them without one. Sam did a great job on my highlights!“

“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.“

“The nail salon has excellent staff who give the most perfect pedis I've ever had, and it's always super clean and neat. The hair salon is also wonderful for both cuts and color.“

“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.“
