I haven't seen a stylist in years and have been (barely) taking care of my hair on my own trimming my ends here and there with the occasional pop-in visit to a $5 cut place so you can imagine that I was a little nervous venturing out to find someone to take care of my hair, especially since I didn't quite know what I wanted to do with it. Booking an appointment was easy enough. I browsed the site a bit and was able to set it up without any issue. I even left a little note saying I was kind of nervous since I haven't had anyone take care of my hair in a while, but I had an inkling of an idea--long and low-maintenance. The studio is tucked away in Evanston, but easy to find. No issues with parking. The space is clean with cute decor. There's no receptionist and the stylists do their thing, but they were attentive and checked me and other patrons in promptly. They've got a little coffee machine if you need, too. My appointment was with Chase and he was wonderful! He really listened to my concerns about my hair and helped by giving me all the information I needed to make decisions on what I wanted. He was also just a fun person to talk to. By the end of it, I my hair was feeling clean and light and all sorts of fresh. I will definitely be returning to Fawn in the future for my hairstyling needs. read more

5 stars for Karina! She always does a great job with my highlights. I love them! And she takes time to educate me on my hair and really helps me a lot. Highly recommend her and this salon!! read more

The salon is beautiful and the atmosphere is very zen. Karina does my color and highlights and I've never been happier. She is the color guru and there is nothing that she doesn't know about color. I highly recommend the salon and Karina. read more

I have been going here for about a year now. I live in Evanston and was going to another salon but my stylists kept leaving. I wanted a local salon that I could walk to, with a stylist I could have that wouldn't leave. I searched and found Chase! Let me tell you that he is the best. Not only has he given me the best cuts and styles I have ever had, but also is the nicest person. I have had people (yes, plural) compliment my hair. One woman stopped me in Target and asked me who cuts my hair because she loved the back so much - and it was two days unwashed! He is on-time, reasonably priced and the salon is very nice. I brought my 93 yo mom to him and she said she couldn't stop looking in the mirror because she loved her hair so much. The only downside to giving a good review is that getting an appointment will be much harder now ; / read more

Love Fawn Studio. Karina has been coloring my hair for years. She always does an amazing job. I highly recommend her!!

Traveling visiting friends and selected this studio based on reviews. Chase gave me a great haircut. I'll go back for another cut with Chase when I'm next in town. Highly recommend him. read more

I absolutely love this place! It took me forever to find a great salon that I trust. So long story short, I thought it would be fun to give myself a hair cut because I needed a "change." This "change" turned into a chin length mullet that needed some help. So. I used Yelp to find nicely rated salons near me. This place came up - it looked a little pricey but I figured my head needed some serious help. I went here and they gave me such a gorgeous haircut that I will now keep going back. Kara was the one who took care of me and treated me with such care I almost cried. Kara was able to find a cut that I truly loved and I have forever since been happy with my style. I have been back since for a nice hair trim and was just as impressed as the first. I truly love this place and plan to keep coming here for my hair care needs! read more

Fawn Studio - My new haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

See all

Fawn Studio is great! Chase was my stylist very recently and I highly recommend him. I have curly fine to medium hair and can be super picky about stylists, and he gave a beautiful cut! He was very easy to chat with during the appointment and made it a breeze. Thanks Chase and Fawn Studio! :) read more

I had a wonderful experience. Chase was my stylist and he gave me one of the best cuts ever. Thanks for the quality service.

Having moved to the area last year, I was honestly nervous about who I would be trusting with my hair, which is very important to me. After some online research, I ultimately decided to give Fawn Studio a try and booked an appointment with Quinn through the salon's incredibly convenient online system. Three appointments later, I am so glad I made that decision! Quinn has been amazing, and I am not exaggerating when I say that she has given me the best haircuts I have ever gotten. Quinn truly listens to my requests and, from the feedback that she provides, I can tell she is very knowledgeable. The overall atmosphere in the salon is also nice and relaxing. I plan to continue visiting for as long as I am still in the area! read more

Chase is an absolute dream! I have lived in Chicago for quite sometime and spent far too much time trying to find a stylist, talking 13 YEARS! To be completely transparent, I have a challenging amount of hair with deceivingly daunting texture. Enter Chase... he is absolutely incredible! A master stylist that is capable of magic. He is able to give me a style that takes away weight without my hair looking like a mushroom. While Evanston is a bit of a trek, I would 100000% follow him anywhere!! read more

Last minute call for a badly needed haircut. I was in luck and had a wonderful experience with Tam! Great head massage, great haircut! Will go back again read more

GABRIEL. That's all you need to know. I've been searching for someone who "gets" me for a decade and Gabriel knows how to give me that million dollar look with each and every cut. Gabriel is like a buddha. I was having a terrible day the last time I came in and his calming nature made me feel like a glass of fine wine. He will cut my hair forever. read more

You only need to know one name. Gabriel. He has been doing my hair for... I don't know how long... a long time. I get bored with my hair quickly, and Gabriel always has beautiful and creative ideas for me. And once done, he executes that vision perfectly. He always considers my ideas and concerns when envisioning my style. And cranks it up another notch (or two), and I walk out looking like a million bucks. HIs expert creativity is what makes people stop me again and again to ask where I get my hair done. Just go. You won't regret it. read more

Hair LOVE at its best! LOVE is.....Fawn Studio. It's warm, friendly, and completely stylish. The entire staff are accomodating, completely down to earth and offer excellent customer service. LOVE is.....my expert colorist Michelle. She nails my color every time, and I walk out feeling like I'm 10 years younger! LOVE is......trying this new salon just in time for Valentine's Day, or any day! Go get some Hair LOVE! read more

Wow. All I can say is wow. This place is close to my work and Gabriel is simply the best. The one and only. read more

Fawn Studio - The best. - Hair Salons Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Still love it so much here!!! Maggie did an amazing job with my color--and a gorgeous blow out to beat. Love her and love Fawn.

Best haircut ever! Quinn did a fantastic job and the haircut is exactly what I wanted! I've tried to get a similar style other places and it never really came to life until now. Booking was easy and I was able to get an appointment the same day. Will book again! read more

My stylist was Quinn, who took my vague demands and executed them perfectly. I have thick, coarse, curly, frizzy hair. What I wanted was a layered cut that would thin out my hair, bring out the curl, and was easy to maintain. I didn't want to use more than two products in my hair and I didn't want to have to do more than wash, condition, finger-comb, and air-dry. Quinn clearly knows what she's doing. I'm very pleased with my style and how easy it is to maintain. She's also thorough, asks for and listens to your input, and is a pleasant conversationalist. I really liked the products she used in my hair, because they made it look awesome while also making it feel soft, but I very much appreciate how there was no product sales pitch during my time at Fawn. Fawn's located on a small street that's hard to maneuver in even if there is a parking space available, so it's probably best to park on Dempster by the Mexican Shop which is on the corner. It would be nice if the website is updated with a list of all the services available and their prices. I read the reviews beforehand so I knew how much my haircut would cost, but I think it's important information to have on the site as well. The scheduling system has a list of services, but not the prices. read more

Gabriel and Michelle and my go to stylists for haircut and highlight. I'm always happy with the results and the studio is so close to home! read more

Gabriel is the best. I've recommended him to many friends because he truly is an expert. He's lovely and warm and makes the visit very pleasurable. I followed Gabriel from his last salon and grateful he's still nearby. Michelle is fabulous as a colorist. She is always on time, always cheerful, always attentive and just makes sure I feel relaxed while I'm at the salon. She's thorough and very skilled. I've been booking appointments with her since Fawn opened. read more

I have been going to Michelle to have my hair dyed for years. I have nearly all grey hair and it is tough to color. I have my hair dyed every three weeks like clockwork. Michelle does a great job of getting every single grey covered. My hairline is not a mess when I leave, she scrubs the dye off before and after shampooing. She is extremely conscientious, kind and attentive. She also gives me a great blow out after my color as I don't always have a cut scheduled. The atmosphere of the salon is laid back and the everyone that works there is extremely welcoming and friendly. read more

Erin and the staff at Fawn are the best. The salon itself is a warm, welcoming space that immediately makes you feel relaxed. They did an outstanding job remodeling the space. As for services, those are top notch. Erin is an outstanding colorist. I have been going to her for several years and I always leave feeling and looking much younger! Gabriel, Quinn, Maggie, Michelle and Kara are all excellent stylists. I have seen all of them for haircuts and have never been disappointed. Just be sure to book your services in a timely manner. This is a salon with a loyal and dedicated clientele, and they book up quickly! Booking however, is very easy to do online. I also appreciate the Kevin Murphy and Verb products that they use - wonderful products. So glad to have such a great salon in Evanston! read more

The salon is very cool. Erin did a wonderful job with the design of the space. And, their online booking is super easy. Gabriel is the best stylist ever. He is a true professional at his craft, and a really sweet and kind person. After trying MANY different stylists for MANY years, Gabriel is the first to listen and actually follow-through to give me the haircut that I want. Both Maggie and Michelle are excellent colorists. Definitely a 5-star place! read more

Quinn consistently gives me a beautiful haircut. She really is a master at her craft! I'm so grateful to have found this salon and their talented stylists. read more

I have a head full of thick babyfine, downy, flyaway curls. The top layer is curliest and the wrong haircut can leave me rocking a dandelion puff on the side of my head. I came a few minutes early and detailed my hair quirks and Quinn said she had it and that I didn't need to worry. True to her word, I walked out looking fabulous. My new haircut works whether I go natural or blow it out. Maggie as usual worked her magic and gave me back the beautiful, caramel blonde with champagne highlights I used to grow naturally as a toddler. We've lived all over the country and I've never seen a more talented colorist. One star off for the price. Ouch! I feel like I just got used to paying $50. $65-$75 for a haircut is painful, lol read more

I just got my hair cut here by Kara and it was an all-around delightful experience. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, and also friendly. Kara was amazing and I love my haircut! I will definitely be back, and will recommend it to anyone who asks! read more

I love this little co-op space. Tried it out today for my first time and had a wonderful experience! I am immensely picky when it comes to hair, salons, and styling, but I walked out feeling incredible. I booked an appointment with Quinn online and she was fantastic! Highly, highly recommend this little gem. read more

Fawn is my new favorite! I followed Maggie and Gabriel from Red 7 Salon to Fawn. What an upgrade! The salon itself has an urban, upscale vibe while still being comfortable. It is obvious from the moment you walk in that the entire staff cares about your experience and goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Naturally I am a dirty blonde. I have really struggled to find a good colorist to make my highlights bright without looking too "fake". Maggie is simply amazing! She is by far the most talented colorist I have ever seen. She always takes time to consult with you and explain what color combination will work the best for you. In the past I have had issues with toner making my hair look mousey, but Maggie makes sure my hair comes out looking bright and shiny every time. Besides being an expert colorist, Maggie is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. It is an absolute pleasure sitting in her chair. There are times I wish I could stay just to hang out! Gabriel is an outstanding stylist. I have long, layered hair with side swept bangs. The bangs have proven to be impossible for some stylists in the past. They either cut them too short or style them crazy. Not Gabriel, he is perfect every time. Gabriel takes his time cutting my hair and is so precise. My bangs always look amazing when I walk out of the salon. Gabriel's abilities are wonderful and his personality matches. He is incredibly easy to talk with and always makes you feel like you are with a friend. I absolutely love Fawn. See Maggie and Gabriel and you will not be disappointed! read more

I have been seeing Erin for years now, and started way back when she was at her previous salon. But now, this is her own studio and she's just as awesome and the place is beautiful. Had my hair cut today and it's as good as always! See her and you won't regret it. read more

Also, Maggie for color. She's a wizard. Got my hair colored, cut...hit the town. Was literally stopped by strangers raving about my hair and asking me for the name of my salon. Gabriel for a cut, Maggie for color. I can't gush enough. read more

I followed Gabriel here from his previous salon and am joining the chorus of clients singing his praises. He takes great care when he's cutting and styling, and has a calming, kind presence that makes getting a haircut a true indulgent experience. I can also recommend both Maggie and Michelle for coloring -- I've gone to both depending on what works with Gabriel's schedule and trust their advice and talent. The salon itself is clean and modern, yet welcoming. The only minor caveat is that parking in the area can be challenging. read more

Quinn is amazing! Recently moved to Evanston and was nervous about finding a good stylist. But have been so happy with Quinn and the great cuts she has given me. Highly recommend. read more

I am so thankful to have found Maggie at Fawn. Not only is she incredible at creating beautiful and natural balayage on my super dark hair, but she is so much fun to chat with! I feel like I'm catching up with a friend every time I go in to see her. Her pricing is also very reasonable - if you're an NU student be sure to ask for the discount. read more

So grateful to have found Kara! She is highly skilled, meticulous, patient with questions and just all around wonderful. My hair was in desperate need and she took thorough time to analyze it and give me ideas. Having a combo of wavy, curly and some straight hair, she cut it in such a way to manage it all and taught me how to better style and care for it. Fawn is a lovely setting with a clean, chic, comfortable vibe. Loved my whole experience there. read more

This studio is awesome. It is a clean atmosphere with a 'less is more' take on things. The focus is on the client. Gabriel is my stylist and I thought I lost him when I called a previous salon to make an appointment. Gabriel has grown professionally and his skill is ever so precise. Red 7 should be sad to see him go, yet supportive of the talent he shows as he continues his career. When I met Gabriel, my hair was all one length...and then I cut it all off...and now I'm trying for a precision cut around jaw length. After all these years with Gabriel I have complete trust in him. I don't bring him magazine clippings because he listens. We talk about the ideas I have and a goal (such as growing it out). He recaps, is creative, and he gears it towards the client and what does or will work. He is so talented. The cut is for you! read more

I've been looking for a new salon for years, and finally found Fawn! Quinn gave me a great haircut (just by looking at an old photo) and Michelle did a fantastic job of fixing my highlights. Great cut, natural looking highlights. Super laid-back salon, clients from pre-teens to octogenarians. Very comfortable. I'm a new fan. Highly recommend! read more

I decided to come in for a brave pixie cut after reading the reviews. So glad I did. Gabriel is amazing and I'm never going anywhere else ever again. read more

Excellent hair salon! Super cozy + modern. Stylists are super professional and Nice!! Really recommend Maggie and Quinn : super nice and excellent with hair :) ! read more

Kara, the tall hair stylist who used to work at Red 7, is back in town and working at Fawn Studios. I highly recommend her, especially if you have curly hair or want a lot of layers. And she's a lot of fun to talk to. She was my stylist about two years ago and I found out by chance that she was back. I am very happy with the cut she gave me yesterday. read more
