- SHSkyler Hawkins5 days ago5.0Two of my church missionaries got their haircuts here last week, and the ladies who cut their hair (Martha I believe, and another one I can't remember) did a great job on both of them
- NFNick FOct 31, 20255.0Popular location with some long time resident stylists in demand. Check in online 1st. I go here for a men's cut and also bring my kids. Booster chair for littles. I dont think they do kids tots under 2.
- GCGalilea CSep 24, 20251.0I went in at 7:33pm 9/24 Martha was going to cut my 5 year olds hair. Her other associate and Martha had money all over the counter and did not welcome us in fact they looked annoyed we decided to stop in and give business. They were ready to close but online it said 8pm was the closing time. They had Leo sit on a chair and asked to pay ahead of time which has never happened to us before. When doing a service pay is usually always towards the END not when service hasn’t even begun. My son had gel on his hair earlier from school and my son kept saying it hurt when she comb but proceeded to do so at that point we felt very uncomfortable and decided to stop the hair cut. I mentioned if she can wet his hair lightly and she refused said it was going to take longer and obviously they didn’t want to stay longer to accommodate us. Martha then proceeded to start arguing saying we were making her uncomfortable and mentioned this was my fault because I need to prepare and wash my sons head before I want a hair cut that it was very poorly planned on my part. As someone who is busy on a WEEK DAY running errands I figured the hair stylist would accommodate and figure a solution since they CHOOSE to be in this profession making THEM the professionals. Martha mentioned she will no longer be serving us. She also mentioned that even if it kept hurting my son, brushing through HARD PARTS OF GEL she would of kept doing it until she was done which is concerning to have someone like part of the team. VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. We ended up driving only 7min away to a different salon who took great care of us and had no problem treating my sons hair with care. The place is called Hair Cuttery Color & Haircuts - Mount Prospect only 7min away would definitely recommend!
- NFNiko FunteasSep 18, 20255.0Joanne did a great job. Will definitely be coming back!
- MKMatt KapustaSep 17, 20255.0Did a great job with cutting my hair nice and evenly
