In general, I have been pleased with the services I have received at Madison Reed's Color Bar in…read moreVernon Hills., Illinois. The business is extremely clean, and does not smell like hair coloring products. The first young lady who did my hair was extremely pleasant, and did a great job. I wish I could remember her name! I know faces, though, in a good way. I went in for a roots touch up. This young woman was pleasant, too, but it felt like I was taking up her time. She did do a very nice job in what I asked her to do, so no real complaints. I walked out feeling much better than I did walking in. I have one bit of advice for some of the staff, that I will pass on. Before I went to graduate school, I, too, worked in the service industry. My boss told me that the absolute hard and fast rule was to never discuss customers in front of other customers. I felt bad for the customer who was being discussed at great length, and in deep detail. I worry about how much I might be discussed. You are all young and smart enough to learn to not talk about customers. My hair looks great, though! To Madison Reed's Corporate Office: Linking the rating directly to Yelp is a terrible idea. Customers like to give honest, anonymous reviews, without the fear of repercussions.

Lorenzo is simply the best, and I cannot recommend him enough…read more He truly knows how to work with wavy hair -- my cuts and blowouts always come out incredible -- but what sets him apart is how much he actually pays attention. I went through a period of hair loss and was growing my hair back, and Lorenzo was with me every step of the way. At one appointment, someone had told me I was experiencing breakage, but Lorenzo took one look and knew it was actually new growth. That kind of expertise and attentiveness meant the world to me. Beyond his skill, he's just a genuinely good person. He's down to earth, listens to what you want, and meets you where you are -- whether that's a specific look you're working toward or a hair journey that takes time and patience. His scalp massages are incredibly relaxing, and every appointment feels like you're in the hands of someone who truly cares. If you're looking for a stylist who treats you like a real person and actually delivers -- Lorenzo is your guy.

Updating my review before the year's end!…read more I obviously opted to return after my negative experience over the summer, and ever since that visit, the staff behind the front desk have been nothing but attentive, professional and kind. Alecjia is still the best of the best when it comes to nails, and always goes above and beyond. I have a very physical job, plus I am in the gym multiple times a week, and I have had my nails chip maybe twice in the last year between my bi-weekly appointments. When she has been booked, I've also had the pleasure of having Galina do my nails as well. Both women have their own unique touch to their services, but I've been happy with the outcome each time. The salon is beautiful since the unexpected "remodel" earlier this year, and is always kept in pristine condition.

Super long overdue review as I've been coming to this salon for a few years now. This salon was…read morepreviously called Zaza Salon, and now renamed to Salon Bennett. This salon offers many other services, from hair color, cutting, facials, massages, and more. I generally come in for just coloring and for my hair cuts. I love coming to get my hair colored. I've had Christy work on my coloring, and have gotten highlights/balayage. I am guilty of waiting far too long between sessions to get my hair done but every time I come in I feel like a new woman. There's also something about come out of getting your hair colors with no more gray lights, and shiny hair that just feels like an extra sparkle. My most recent time, I visited and was schedule for my hair cut with Izzy. She was a delight, she made me feel right at home. Talking me through my hair thickness and now to style it in a way that it will grow out healthy again. The check out process was super easy as well, we check out at the front and they adjust the type of services you had, and you pay and go about your day. Keep in mind that tipping is strictly cash, and you put it in an envelope fro your stylist.

She gave me an amazing haircut and color! She even managed to hide my stubborn gray hairs! My 6 year old daughter also had a wonderful experience with her stylist Sara. She walked out with a big smile on her face and I could tell that she really loved it!

To set the context, I'm particularly picky about my haircuts and have made the trek down to…read moreChinatown to get them for more than a decade. In this particular instance though, I was a bit desperate. I needed to get a haircut before a trip I was taking to meet some professional clients and did not have time to drive all the way to Chicago to get one before I left. I saw that this salon had just opened up fairly close to me, had some good reviews, and that being new (though I think they actually were just in a different location), they would know how to cut more contemporary styles. Overall, I've been to this location 4 times now and here's a breakdown of my experience: 1st haircut = 5 stars 2nd haircut = 5 stars 3rd haircut = 3 stars (4th time was to fix what I considered a really uneven haircut) My 1st haircut exceeded my expectations. I was really impressed by how close to what I wanted my hair stylist Yana was able to cut my hair. I showed her a picture, described a few things I wanted, and it felt as though she put in a lot of care and detail to each part of my haircut. My 2nd haircut a month later was essentially the same as the 1st and I was really happy to have found a place to get my haircut that was only 20 minutes away instead of an hour plus. My 3rd haircut though was a huge bummer. In part, it might have been the circumstances because they had a walk-in come in at the same exact time I had scheduled my appointment and they initially confused the walk-in as the person who booked the appointment, and so perhaps it had something to do with the divided attention (she would switch off cutting each of our hair during the shampooing the hair phase - you can opt to do it before or after the haircut). When I got home, my wife remarked at how unevenly cut my hair was. When I compared it to the pictures I took the 1st two times, it felt like a different haircut even though I asked for the exact same thing each time. I called them the next day to ask if I could come in for a fix and after a bit of confusion on the phone, I scheduled something for two days later, a Friday (Yana doesn't go in on Thursdays). To set some additional context, the salon's usual patrons are usually all Korean and are able to speak Korean with the stylists. I bring that up because while I observed that, it wasn't very clear to me how much English was or wasn't understood (since I don't speak Korean nor am I Korean). I just assumed they knew enough to get my haircut done the way I wanted. When making my follow-up appointment for the fix, the confusion became more apparent that it was a language obstacle. When I got there on Friday, I knew something was off because it felt like Yana went through an entire haircut with me. I expected to only spend about 5 minutes getting my hair fixed but it ended up being the usual 25ish minutes with shampoo and everything. It was only after the haircut when this other lady told me the cost, that I had to explain to them I had just come for a fix. I thought Yana would recognize me since I had just gotten a haircut earlier that week but that didn't seem to be the case at the end. To their credit, when they realized the misunderstanding, they were super nice about it and didn't charge me anything and so it ended up with me getting a shorter version of the haircut I initially came for (at least it was even). In the end, I have some mixed feelings. On one hand, I have gotten very good haircuts here in the past and intend on going at least once more to see how it goes, especially because I'm intending to do the same style I've done the past few times. On the other hand, I also recognize that there exists a communication barrier if you're not a Korean speaker, which means if you're asking for a style that is different from what they're used to cutting, things may get lost in translation. I do believe that they will do their best to understand and to accommodate. If in doubt, Google Translate is your friend.

Kate gave my daughter as many breaks as needed, made her laugh and even put a movie on the iPad for her (after asking me if it was okay). She went above and beyond, was professional, courteous, and kind. My daughter is beyond obsessed with her hair and has received a ton of compliments. I can't recommend Kate enough!
