I've been going to Hot Cuts for more than 10 years--and not only because I get a great haircut at an incredibly reasonable price (Aneta usually does my hair, but Sandy and Alex are excellent too). I want my hair to look good, but I also want to enjoy the salon experience, and I get both at Hot Cuts. Super-fancy salons aren't my thing--so if you prefer that atmosphere (and price tag), don't come here. But if you enjoy a welcoming environment with friendly, talented stylists, you should definitely try this place. There are some "value" salons that have a generic, utilitarian vibe. Hot Cuts doesn't. There's comfy leather furniture in the waiting area, lots of natural light, toys for kids to play with-- it feels inviting, and that's also due to the friendly stylists. My husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law also go to Hot Cuts (my in-laws drive from Glenview) and they feel the same way. I very rarely give 5-star ratings for a product or service, but Hot Cuts deserves it. read more

This place ROCKS!!! I can get a GREAT HAIRCUT for $20. The stylists are friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back. It is not one of those high priced, big attitude salons. They offer great cuts and color and insanely cheap prices!!! I use Kim and I will not let anoyone else touch my hair. There is no receptionist, no snotty assistants running around. This is the BEST PLACE in the North Shore to get you hair cut and after reading some of the other reviews, I think they better stick with a $50 haircut for their kids!!! I have sent one of my best friends here and he swears by kim as well!!! The entire staff treats you like one of the gang while you are here. Last time I ws there I saw Kim cuting a special needs client's hair and she was so sweet and so professional that it almost brought tears to my eyes. NEVER WILL GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HOT CUTS!!!!! read more

The very best haircut. The very best people. I still remember the first time I walked through the doors of Hot Cuts. I had a falling out with my barber of twenty years and I desperately needed a new place for my monthly cut. The entire Hot Cuts staff, including all of the stylists, and the spectacular owner and operator, Aneta, were so friendly and eager to help. They made me feel like I was a good friend and not just some customer with money. I grew to love each and every one of them over the years. Sadly, I had to move out of Illinois for work and I had to say goodbye. I cannot find a salon down here in North Carolina half as good as Hot Cuts, but that's just how life goes, I guess. Every chance I get to return to Illinois, I give my favorite folks at Hot Cuts a visit. It's like a family reunion. I love you all! read more

I highly recommend Hot Cuts! I've had my hair cut by just about everyone on the staff, and have ALWAYS walked away happy! I'm currently into having my hair done by RUDY. He's great, and a really fun guy! Cuts always only cost $16. And it is as good or better then the $75 cuts I get at the high end places. Also, they always know my name AND remember the details of my life from visit to visit. I've also had my hair colored here, and it's also very good, tho not as great a savings. They still charge considerably less than other places. They were also willing to go out and purchase the brand of coloring stuff I have always used, which is often not available at other places. So I thought that was very nice of them, especially since it was going to cost them over $100 - and I wasn't going to have to pay anything extra. read more

I've been going to "Hot Cuts" for about ten years and have always had a great experience there. Aneda has been my "go to" stylist and hair cutter,( she's way to adorable to be called a Barber) for all these years tho I did have Kim cut my hair once in Aneda's absence, and my hair always come out looking great. The atmosphere is friendly and simple, very laid back and always some fun conversations going on. It's also very kid friendly so don't hesitate to bring your youngster's here ( the lollipop basket is always full) I am giving "Hot Cuts' the max STARS allowed and highly recommend this very comfy Salon. Oh and if she tries to sell you on the purple mohawk, realize it's all in jest cuz the sarcasm abounds there !! read more

I have started going there relatively recently, but every time I go, I leave very happy, and satisfied. The first time I went, my haircut was done by Aneta, and since then I only ask for her. She cuts my hair just the way I like it, not too short and not too long. She always takes her time to trim by beard/eyebrows, without me even mentioning anything. They are always smiling and upbeat, and they treat you like family. You also can not beat the price, especially it being in our beloved Northshore area. I would recommend them to anyone, who might be looking for a place to get a a haircut. Like I said, Aneta is the best! read more

Hot Cuts Plus was where I got my haircut. Aneta had cut my hair at another chain store establishement and when she left, I followed. Now, years later, my entire family goes there and all of us are happy with our cuts from Aneta and Kim. Most impressive is that my young kids actually like going to get their hair cut because of how Kim and Aneta treat them. Hot Cuts Plus is convenient, good hours, efficient, not too hard on the wallet, and am never disappointed with the results. Never a long wait, and when you do wait there are comfortable couches. read more

I needed a hair change, so I decided to try a place in my neighborhood, and I'm so glad! Ana adjusted my bob so that it's more graphic and angled my bangs so they are more flattering to my face. They also stay in place more on their own now! Ana paid close attention to what my hair naturally wanted to do, and therefore I ended up with a better cut. I love the quiet atmosphere and the scent of many good products they sale. I want to eat the shampoo, it smells soooooo good!:] I think this is the start of a very long relationship. read more

I really don't get some of the negative reviews here. I've been coming to Hot Cuts for years and have never had a problem. In fact, it's always a pretty good time, between chatting with the girls and listening to Rudy, who truly is a one-man-show. I guess if you want a sterile environment with no personality then this place isn't for you. But if you like hanging out with real people and getting a quality hair-cut at real-world prices, I would suggest giving these guys a shot. read more

I have known Aneta for almost fifteen years. I can honestly say that she is an individual that hits perfection when it comes to the standards of her profession. I would recommend her hair salon to anyone who wants to get great results on what they ask for. I have never had a bad experience through the many years I have been a customer. Aneta is a professional that knows customer satisfaction is the key to a successful bussiness. Five stars across the board for Hot Cuts!!! read more

Been a very long time customer. Aneta always makes me feel looking like a Rock Star when I leave and and Kim AKA #1, is like Edward Scissorhands. They also have Rudy, ... I can't recall ever walking in their without Rudy performing like he's in front of the Mike at the Improv which I encourage him to give up his day job. Great people. Great value. The only thing is they need to fix their TV so I can watch ESPN. read more

I love HOT CUTS!!! Not only because it's close to my home, but everyone is very nice and friendly! My family and I have been going here for YEARS!!! I love Aneta, always very professional, accommodating (especially during COVID) and I love my hair. I can never forget about Kim who I started with at least 15+ years ago! Beside all of these wonderful things, their prices are the best! Please support HOT CUTS!!! read more

I have been going to Hot Cuts for three years and have yet to get a bad haircut. Aneta and Alex are both very skilled cutting hair and making you feel like you are not just a number. I have referred numerous family and friends to Hot Cuts and they always walk away happy. I will be a long time client and highly recommend that next time you need a haircut give Hot Cuts a shot, you will be happy you did. read more

I was in a rush to get in a haircut for me and my brother before shelter in place began and I was welcomed in with open arms regardless of the wait! I am so thankful for the staff, especially Aneta, the women who cut our hair on such short notice! They really were kind and understanding during such a difficult time. Not to mention she also gave a great haircut! Can't wait to go back for a trim. read more

I just got done with an appointment with Aneta, and I just have to say, I haven't liked a haircut this much in at least 5 years. Not only was she professional and friendly, she asked me questions about what I wanted, because frankly, I didn't know. She took what I said and for once it actually transformed to what I was thinking. I can't see myself going anywhere else for a haircut anytime soon. read more

I have been going to Hot Cuts for almost four years now and wouldnt even consider going anywhere else. Aneta , who cuts and colors my hair, is extremely personable and has the unique ability of making everyone feel special!! Both friends and strangers are always inquiring as to where I have my hair done because they love the look. Hot Cuts is truly a shop for all people of all ages!!! read more

Just wanna a huge shout out to aneta and her staff. Been going here for years and when covid hit aneta and her team made all the necessary precautions to follow with covid protocols. Aneta took the time to allow my 81yo wheel chair bound father to come into the store when it was empty to make a safe and worry free experience. Thank you thank you aneta and her team read more

I have been going to get my hair cut and colored with Aneta since I can remember. Very clean, friendly and professional local salon. Weather you are getting ready for an interview, picture day, a wedding or even if the kids decided to play barber shop at home. Hot cuts is the place to go for your cut, color and daily dose of comedy. You won't be disappointed. read more

Finding a salon when first moving into town 20 years ago there were a few options in the area but we decided to give Hot Cuts a try. The easy part has been going back each time since. Aneta is wonderful and listens to what you want. She's cut my brother and sisters hair since they were babies. Always makes it fun and personal! Would always recommend them! read more
