    I had two appointments with Andy. I needed a haircut and hair consultation for lifting color and custom coloring to rose gold. Even before the consultation and haircut, Andy and I were talking back and forth about my hair history from the last 2-3 years. I didn't use any bleaching products so I had virgin hair. Andy was very transparent and honest; he was super knowledgeable about style and products. When I came in for the first visit for my haircut on 3/16/2022, I thought I wanted an Medium bob with wispy bangs to try something new, but Andy looked at how my hair naturally parts and gave a better recommendation for my profile. We went with the medium bob but had side swept bangs. I loved it! I looked super cute. I came in for the off-scalp balayage on 4/3/2022. He made sure to put in extra care from the color lifting process to all the hand painting. My hair was so soft even after the dark color was lifted from my hair. Andy was super diligent and took the time to explain things when I asked questions about caring for my hair after the coloring was done. Once we had the color set, Andy also styled my hair and walked me through the process from applying the heat protectant product, blow drying my hair, spraying the dry shampoo and brushing my hair a certain way to achieve a look that suits me. He showed me step by step so that I would be able to follow the simple steps to create volume for my hair. I definitely recommend consulting Andy for any hair needs. He books one client at a time so you have his full attention and he is really good at what he does. I'm definitely coming back for my next haircut and color.

    I just moved to Lake Forest and was scrambling to find a hairstylist who could do vivid colors. I stumbled across Andy's page and I'm SO glad that I did. I first came in for a hair consultation and he was very honest and transparent with how much things would be and what he could do to achieve my hair goal. Fast forward to the appointment I booked after that, Andy went above and beyond. He took what I wanted and enhanced it. He is very diligent and he took his time when coloring and cutting my hair. Usually when I go to salons they just quickly cut the hair but Andy took his time to style it perfectly for me. He also gave recommendations that he didn't force on you but gave you the option if you wanted to try it. I don't think I'll ever go to another hairstylist again while Andy is still here! Definitely recommend if you need a cut, style, treatment, & especially dye!! He knows what he's doing! My hair has never felt this great in a long time while being dyed! Thanks so much Andy

    A much delayed review. It's been 3 weeks since my haircut and I'm loving it a lot. So easy to style and maintain. There were not a lot of photos of short hair cut but a few reviews so I decided to try and glad i did. Thank you Andy!

    Before keratin and Olaplex treatment
    Nuvdeep D.

    I came into Andy's salon for the first time in September 2019 and once more again in January 2020. He completely transformed the health and look of my hair. Andy is very knowledgeable and takes his time to explain the treatment options available to ensure that I know exactly what hair treatment I am doing and the benefits for each. I decided to do the keratin treatment with the professional Olaplex treatment and I absolutely love the results. My hair looks healthier and shiner. I attached photos so you can see how he saved my hair and length.

    What I asked for
    Naomi K.

    I don't usually write negative reviews. I tried this place in hopes of amping up my blonde however instead I got white stripes and brown color. The photos represent the hair I had before, what I wanted, and what I got. I understand that sometimes these things happen. Andy wasn't the one who did my color, it's was his assistant. I tried calling to explain that there was a mistake made and I was hoping for some kind of partial refund however Andy said that there was no mistake that he would not be refunding me unless I went back in person to prove my color was wrong. I was kind and courteous on the call and I feel he was indignant as a response. Very unfortunate to have paid $285 and not gotten blonde. I was a little surprised at the price as well. Andy did the cut and blow dry, his assistant did the rest. I've been coloring my hair blonde for 10+ years with different stylists and my hair has never turned out looking like this. It was actually greyish/purple when I left the salon, Andy said the toner would wash out. I've never left a solon with a toner issue like that before. It was over bleached and over toned as well as looked very dated, like something out of the 90s. Would not recommend, find somewhere else.

    COVID hair got me like
    Brittany A.

    I've been going to Andy for well over a decade. He always knows how to do my hair and he never fails to impress me. Even through the decades, he keeps up with current hair trends and styling techniques and makes sure that my hair is healthy, wealthy, and thriving through the process Can't recommend Andy enough. He invests in his business and getting better in his craft and it shows through his work throughout the years.

    Hair addition and extension
    An N.

    Come here for all of your hair needs and you won't regret it! You can tell Andy really loves what he does by the details he put into his works! We spent 8h+ total into the hair and I love the result! The hair looks shiny, full and real! Got a lot of compliments from family and friends! Also, 10 stars for the excellent services! The first day I went in and added 100 hair first, but then after I came home I wanted more. So I called in to add another 100 hair. Andy was so accommodating and squeezed me in despite last minute notice (bc he knows I have a trip the next day). The appointment didn't end until 9:30PM but Andy still showed his enthusiasm. After he finished the hair, he showed me how to do and take care of my hair, and "tested" me to make sure I got it right! Can't wait to try out his coloring skills next!

    4 days after Andy did my hair, platinum blonde did amazing on stage. I received a ton of compliments.
    Kristyn D.

    Andy, is absolutely amazing. His passion for hair health and color is beyond any colorist I have ever been to. He is up front, honest and to the point on what you should expect from your time with him. I went to him after many many years of trying to tell colorists I wanted platnum blonde hair, yet it NEVER got there. Finally, I found Andy on IG. He is extremely knowledgeable, and explains everything thoroughly. I will never go to another person again. I wish that there were more than 5 to give, because he deserves it.

    Andy made my hair the perfect color white for my 1st comp. amazing work. The color I've always looked for.
    Kristyn P.

    Andy is absolutely amazing. His dedication to supplying his clients with not only amazing hair; color, cut or styling is his absolute love in educating them on hoW to care for hour hair. He is an amazing colorist, he is also a tell It how it is stylist. He will be honest with what he can do (A LOT) and what your hair will be able to handle. He is well worth a drive, the money and time. Trust me I have seen him now 5 times and I am ALWAYS pleased with tHe results. Thank you Andy for always killin it!

Sorry." He claims he a color expert and had good reviews but he was not compassionate nor caring about my situation. Anyways, I checked yelp instead. I reached out to as many stylists I could that would respond right away, educate me, would answers my questions and had good reviews. I wasn't sure if anyone was going to be able to save my hair but I knew I needed lowlights and never had one plus I didn't want to lose all my highlights either. Vivian knew what I needed and what I wanted after communicating with her and sending pics etc. She wanted to work with me and gave me a better deal than Groupon and most stylists. She listened. She wanted to help me. I trusted my instincts and she made my hair look better than I imagined. You can see for yourself. She's efficient, unbelievable at multitasking, and is a hard worker. She doesn't waste your time and her attention is on your hair at all times. She saved me. I am ever so thankful for her. I would refer her to everyone. She doesn't overcharge. She helped save me from hundreds of dollars.

I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.
