I came here for the first time after not having a haircut in years. All I wanted was a trim and some long layers in my hair. During the consultation, I expressed how I did not want to lose much length. I explained I wanted layers that framed my face. I had hair down my butt, and when I left the salon, my hair was just below my shoulders when straightened. I can barely tie it back in a pony tail now, there were no long layers, and it's clear the stylist wasn't used to working with curly hair. The stylist was friendly, but, I'll never be back. I'm super disappointed in the cut. read more

Great staff. From color to cut to styling. Upbeat ambiance. Been going to them for over a decade. Highly recommend everyone there. My son and daughter love them too. read more

ease in making appointments! Elena's color and Felipe's haircut are the best I have had in years! salon has a good, calm ambience!

great service, awesome people! My hair colorist Elena does an awesome job! You won't be disappointed read more

Peter is my go-to stylist. I have curly hair and he knows what to do. I don't need to bring a picture in - we can talk about what I want and he gets it. If he wants to be super sure about how I want my bangs, he pulls up a picture on his phone. I appreciate that. Book your haircut with Peter! Felipe's Salon in general has always given me great service and always made sure I had tasty drink in my hand. read more

Peter's been cutting my hair for 13 years he rocks!! I am grateful for Felipe's Salon

I've had my hair colored by Kelly, and cut by Marisa twice now and I've been very happy on both occasions! Kelly is a master colorist who always gets exactly what I'm asking for. Marisa is great at cutting my long hair into layers that make daily styling a breeze. I highly recommend this salon and will be returning again. read more

I have been coming to Felipe for 20 yrs! Wow that makes me sound old, but their cuts and color are so fresh that can't possibly be the case. Felipe has cut my hair , he is amazing! I currently go to Peter and love him as well! Richard has been coloring my hair for 6 yrs now. Everyone says how great my color looks and honestly it's all because of this salon. Everyone who works there is friendly and always has been. I should've written a review years ago. As busy as this salon is, they clearly didn't miss my 5 star review. Always high quality and great people. read more

Felipe Salon - My hair courtesy of Peter and Richard. - Hair Salons Near Me - Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois

So I cut my hair maybe once a year and the last time I cut it I was unhappy and I've been going to the same hairstylist for awhile so I've been on the search for a new place that is inexpensive, yes I know this place is a bit pricey, but I got a Groupon for $30 which included cut, condition, and style and I loved it! Piper was very friendly and made the process extremely comfortable. She asked me specifically what I was looking for and follow-up with me to make sure she wasn't cutting my hair too short and kept a fun conversation going. She added beautiful layers to my hair and curled it gorgeously! I got so many compliments from strangers when I finished my errands for the rest of the day. Not sure if the Groupon is still available, but it was worth every penny. Since I only cut my hair once or twice a year I might just give in and pay the $65 because I really liked Piper and the way my hair turned out. read more

I've been going to Felipe Salon since I was 14 years old, so that's 15 years now. They are the best. I've lived in the city now for 7 of those 15 years and I still make the trip to their salon (only 20 minutes on the weekends!). I have tried my fair share of the "best" city salons and I keep going back to Felipe's. Felipe Salon has everything a major city salon, like Salon Buzz, has and has two major advantages: 1) prices are way more affordable and 2) availability is better. Plus the front desk is so friendly and accommodating, unlike the stone faced, "I'm way to busy to deal with you" reception desks of most city salons. I'm a very picky, fashion forward, young 20-something (29 still counts!) and Felipe Salon never disappoints. Oh yeah! They also are a Day Spa and I had the best pedicures I've ever had there! read more

I love Felipe's! I have been going there for years also. The only reason that I didn't give it a 5 star is the shampoo person. She tardy at getting my hair rinsed and seems to be preoccupied with talking to others. It irritates me. She doesn't spend any time with a great shampoo massage or temples and neck like I have had at other salons. She's been there for years. I actually went to another salon because of the shampoo person. But then in the end I returned to Felipe's, Juan, the stylist and ALL of the colorists are 5 stars!!! They have been trained by Richard and are GREAT!! Amazing!!! read more

To another reviewer... Lisa is the younger colorist. I got an ombre done by her and it was great! They do have more middle-aged clients because they are not a necessarily cheap salon. However, (I'm 21) it's worth it to me to get a great cut and color, instead of a mediocre one. I would do the "fun" color yourself and focus on what really counts... read more

My Mom has been going to Felipe Salon for years. We wanted to have a Mom and daughter spa day so I agreed to go there as well. I went to Kelly to have my brunette hair turned red. She bleached me out damaging 3 inches of my hair. My hair ended up looking nothing like the picture and was a radically different color on the top of my head vs the bottom. I called a week later and let Kelly know that I was unhappy. She was accommodating and polite to have me back and fix it. Unfortunately when I arrived another stylist kept getting into the middle of our consultation and trying to convince me that my hair wasn't that bad I kept trying to tell me what to do. I felt ganged up on and frankly, I did not ask for her opinion nor did I trust it based on the color of her own hair. Every effort I made to politely let her know I wasn't interested in her opinion was ignored. I eventually had to tell my stylist that I didn't respect her co-workers opinion and that I wasn't interested. Kelly was able to return me to brunette. Although I don't hate the color I don't love it either. It faded quite a bit over the last week, I'm upset over paying so much money to end up close to what I originally had and having to cut off quite a bit of hair. Protecting the integrity of my hair was never discussed in the consultation and if she wasn't able to give me what I asked for without ruining my hair she should have stated this. The two stars are for Kelly's grace in trying to handle a bad situation and the courtesy of the salon's reception desk. I also noticed quite a few women with long blonde high-lights. They looked pretty. Not my thing but seems they have the "oak Brook, suburbia" thing down. If that's what you are looking for I bet you'll be happy. It's what came next that put me over the edge. I sat down to have my hair blown out with another stylist. (I can't remember her name.) She convinced me to let her cut off the dead over-bleached ends. I agreed to do this because she communicated what she thought needed to be done and listened to me explain what I wanted. She made it sound like we were on the same page...Unfortunately what she said and did were very different. I said..."I'd like it a bit longer in the back and more of a U shape in the back" Very simple instructions. I said "think more gypsy and shaggy, not blunt." She nodded enthusiastically. What I ended up with is a cut that is blunt all the way around with the front of my hair longer than the back! When she showed me the end result I pointed out that I had lost my shape and she offered to fix it. I was in shock over how much she took off. More then we discussed. I didn't trust her to fix it nor did I want to lose more length then I already had to so I declined. I'm still trying to get the courage to go get it fixed. My hair is past shoulder length. There is never a time this length looks cute with shorter in the back than the front. I trusted her to have good taste. She had cute style. I don't think this was a matter of her taste but rather inexperience. The final straw... She then told me she needed to have her work checked by the owner! It is simply unprofessional (and feels a bit scammy) to not share this upfront! Had I known she was an amateur I would not have allowed her to cut my hair. Felipe came over and made some adjustments. I'm not clear if she even shared my requests with him. I tried to communicate with him but he brushed off my words and it was clear he didn't care. He was obviously in a hurry. In the end I was then charged $65 for a student haircut!!! A haircut I needed because the first color job ruined my ends and I was not warned of this nor were there attempts made to prevent it. A haircut I shouldn't have even paid for as they damaged my hair! On top of the money I wasted on the coloring and all the tips and now the time I have to wait to grow out my hair to even get back to a style I like. If you want blonde highlights and a blunt soccer Mom cut this is the place for you. It seems they have that down. (just be sure they don't fry your ends...Oh no worries. They'll be happy to charge you for a bad haircut to "fix" it for you) What a waste. read more

Elena always does a wonderful job with coloring. I came in back in May with stubborn purple in my hair that wouldn't come out from a self dye job. She was able to make it look like it never happened! Rudy does an awesome job with my haircuts! Came in yesterday and I've never been so happy with a haircut in my life read more

Manicure was not good. Polish was sloppy and overlapped on the cuticle. Chipped within 48 hours. I've had my nails look much better and paid half the price. Two starts because everyone was very nice and accomodating. read more

This place is WAY over rated. They are charging LA salon prices for crappy hair cuts. I have layered hair and like it nicely blended. My hair is pretty much two lengths, super choppy. The person washing hair should immediately be replaced. She sprayed water all over me, in my ears and then didn't even towel the hair so I had water dripping down my back through the crappy haircut. It blows my mind that this place has five stars. read more

This was my first time at Felipe and I loved! I came in with a free haircut that I got in the mail so I was a tad hesitant. I also hadn't cut my hair in over 6 months. I met with Piper and she exactly what I needed. Came out with a low maintenance yet classy look! Salon was clean and everyone was very nice! Highly recommend! read more

Felipe Salon - The after - Hair Salons Near Me - Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois

Allyson does an amazing job coloring hair! I started going to her about 10 years ago - and never stopped. I can't imagine going ANYWHERE else - and wouldn't trust my hair in the hands of anyone else. Not only does she do a great job, but she is so fun to talk to. Even though I have a TON of hair, the two hours goes by super quickly. Felipe is a very welcoming atmosphere, and I would recommend Allyson to anyone that needs any coloring done! read more

Marisa did an excellent job cutting my hair into a current long bob style. I highly recommend her!

I've gotten my hair done here multiple times, every experience has been wonderful! The staff is very nice and welcoming, and every time I leave with beautiful hair. read more

Kelly is the best! She is the only colorist I have ever been 100% satisfied with. She goes above and beyond to make sure my blonde highlights look perfect. My mom and best friend now go to kelly as well! She's friendly, funny and just a joy to be around when I'm in her chair. I do not live near the salon unfortunately but I drive an hour to see her every time!! If you want someone who listens and truly loves doing color go see kelly. My mother started seeing kelly about a year ago and on her last visit kelly noticed a TINY spot on her ear and told my mom about it. A week later my mom was diagnosed with stage 2 skin cancer after showing what kelly had found to her dermatologist. My mother does not use yelp and asked me to share this to spread awareness. Without Kelly's discovery who knows if my mom would have ever known about this. She will be having surgery in a few weeks to be cancer free :) I am forever thankful for Kelly's attention to detail and how caring she was to my mother. Most people would not have thought anything about this after seeing it! We love kelly! read more

I've been going to Felipe salon for many years. I am always pleased with the results. I have been to many salons in the past and in my opinion, they are no match for Felipe. All of the stylists and colorists are excellent. And everyone is friendly. read more

I have lived all over the US, NYC and San Fran included, and in several areas of Chicago and now live in London. I have not found a better cutter than Felipe nor a better colourist than Richard. When I return for a visit, I always make an apt. to get a touch-up! read more

I went to Felipe's as a new client because of the Groupon they are currently running. It was an excellent choice. Kelly did a super job with my highlights! She was patient and very professional. I have a ton of hair and she spent about two hours carefully placing foils. The color looks very natural and most important it did not damage my hair. I will definitely be returning!!! read more

Felipe is awesome, I have my hair done by him whenever we have a black tie or formal event and people ALWAYS comment on how great my hair looks. Richard is also wonderful. My hair looks amazing when I leave the salon EVERY time. I am in my 50s and have been going there for over 10 years now and would never go anywhere else now. I agree though with the shampoo girl. I dread getting my hair washed to the point that sometimes I was it myself before I go so I don't have to sit in that chair and feel like my hair is being ripped off my head. She is so rough! read more

I am so excited to have found this place!! Okay, so, back-story: I lived in Florida for about 20 years. My next-door neighbor became a hair stylist and was *my girl* from about the time I was 16 and started getting my hair highlighted and layered and all that. She was amazing, I could literally sit down in her chair, say "I want something new, but that will look good" and she would NEVER disappoint. I absolutely LOVED her. Fast forward to 2007, and I moved to Chicago. I have gotten my hair cut/colored four times now since I've lived here--and every time with less-than-desirable results. Either I say what I want and they just do something else, or they attempt to give me a flattering cut and it just does not please me at all. It literally got to the point where I would go a whole year without so much as TRIMMING my split ends just so that I could wait until we went to Florida to visit my husband's family, and make an appointment with my girl down there. Enter: Groupon. Felipe Salon--right across the street from where I work. A great price for a cut, deep-conditioning treatment, and blow-dry. Whatever, I'm at yet another point in my forever long-haired life where I'm bored and want to chop it all off again. So I take a chance at another salon, get the Groupon, make an appointment, and here I am. Okay, so Peter was my guy. I had a couple photos of possible styles I wanted, but since (as I said) I'm a forever long-haired girl, I wasn't really sure which would look best on me. He was sooo awesome talking it out with me and helping my indecisive self come to a conclusion. And then when it came to the actual execution, he did not disappoint!! I had a great time talking to him, and he made my hair look amazing. I am SO happy with the final result, and that's something I haven't said after visits to any of the four different salons I've been to in the Chicago/west suburban area. Next time I need my hair done I know who to go to! read more

Focus on what really counts? What really counts is a customer getting what they want, is it not? I felt this salon did not cater to all ages. Fashion changes all the time and we look to hair salons to keep up with the trends. I wanted what what new in Haircolor, and they did not deliver, bottom line. Maybe Lisa can do an ombré, but the gentlemen I spoke to did not. And he did not tell me there was Another person in the salon I could go to that knew how to do it. There's nothing wrong with charging more, thier prices were not an Issue for me. I'm sure the do very lovely old lady hair, the ones that were in the salon that day seemed happy. And I did state that in my first review ( which magically dissapeard by the way) read more

I'm not one to review anything, but after coming here, I had to write one. I just got my hair colored by Elena and I love it! I wasn't sure what to get done and she had great suggestions for me and made sure that I was 100% ok with it before continuing forward. I absolutely love the way it turned out- I would highly recommend anyone to come here to get your hair colored or cut! As a plus, everyone here is so nice, it has an open atmosphere so you don't feel so crowded around or anything. Worth every penny read more

I have been to several high end salons in the area, but Felipe is by far the best. Everyone is so personable and welcoming. My stylist Peter is great. He is very talented and knows exactly what I want and never disappoints. Kim gives great brow. So gentle you barely feel it. I would recommend Felipe to anyone looking for a great salon with the best talent. read more

Richard (colorist) is fabulous. I was referred to him by a friend who has been seeing him for many years. Veronica is the best shampoo lady ever. I have thicker hair and often times they do not thoroughly wash the color, shampoo , conditioner out. She is great. Staff is friendly! Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend Felipe Salon & Day Spa and only wish they were located in Naperville. No one cuts hair like Felipe and no one can do highlighting like Richard. They are the very best. read more

This place is amazing. Friendly stylists and the services don't disappoint. Will definitely be coming back!

I have gotten my hair cut here twice and am obsessed. I've tried tons of salons in Chicago and have returned to Felipe Salon even though it's a hike from the city. Best hair cuts I've ever had. Both times I got great advice about how to improve my hair and product recommendations that were genuine and not pushy at all. I bought one of the suggested products and have really noticed a difference in my hair already. read more

I went to Felipes last week for a hair cut . This was my first time going to this salon and was recommended by a close friend. The young man that cut my hair is Rudy & I highly recommend him as well. I had a great experience and an awesome hair cut! I will definitely be back! read more

I went to this place for the first time and was very impressed with the results. I got full highlights done by Kelly and a haircut by Marisa. Both of them gave me the exact look that I wanted. Low maintenance ,nice summer ready hair. The salon itself is also very nice and the staff seemed friendly. I will come back here again and I recommend it to others. read more

My mother and I have been coming here for years. Felipe does a great job on my moms hair. I've seen Rudy, the junior stylist, in the past. He does a good job. I've also seen Peter, who did an AWESOME job with my hair! I just went in to get a no chip manicure with Kim, she was so friendly and did a great job! I'm so happy with the way my nails turned out! I love the overall feel of the salon. When you walk in, it's warm and inviting. The receptionist, Tori, is always so super sweet and friendly! She always makes me feel like family when I go there because she always asks about my kids and everything. This is probably the best salon I've ever been to. Other salons I've been to aren't as friendly and welcoming and I don't like the feel. Or the receptionists are too stuck up. At Felipe salon this isn't the case. They're all so friendly! I highly recommend coming here for all haircuts and colorings and spa services!! It's - little expensive but totally worth it because of the quality!!!!! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place! Majority of the women in my family go to Felipe's and have been for a number of years. I recently went from blonde to a fun shade of magenta. After a few weeks of the "fun color"I was over it. Allyson went above and beyond to help me get back to a normal color! She is so much fun to talk too & is full of information about everything.She recommended products that have saved my over processed hair. Every time I went back to fix it a little more she would always mention about wanting to keep the integrity of my hair. Which too my old hairdresser was not a concern. I cannot thank Allyson enough for all that she has done.I am now back to a beautiful blonde and I still have all my hair! Definitely recommend this salon to anyone and everyone read more

Excellent and skilled management and staff. Very friendly and professional. They made me look fabulous!

I've been going to Felipe's for over 20 years! I'm constantly changing (by a little or a lot) my style and tweaking my color. I've always walked out to compliments. Although I'm a bit spoiled by always having Felipe himself cut my hair, I have and would see any colorist, any time. I've seen nothing but a class act since 1992. read more

For the price, I have been to better - had a cut and was not impressed at all. Some cuts I saw there were good - others nothing to suggest it was worth the price. read more
