I was nervous about having someone I didn't know styling my hair, but my stylist highly recommended Vanessa. I'm so glad that we were connected! She did a fabulous job, and was really great to work with! Vanessa came over to my place for a hair trial about a month before the wedding. We had exchanged some emails and pictures of styles I liked, and I really felt like Vanessa understood what I wanted and was able to match that to my hair. I was on the fence about whether or not I was going to do a flower crown in my hair (ultimately I did), and Vanessa gave me a style with flexibility in case I changed my mind the day of the wedding. She was also really easy to chat with, and I instantly enjoyed her company. She has a calming, easy-going presence - a big plus on your wedding day! Vanessa ended up doing the hair for me, four bridal party members, and my mom. Everyone looked great, and each person had a unique look that fit their personalities. I love the way that my hair turned out, and it lasted through a windy rooftop ceremony and hours of dancing!

She is professional, responsive, fun, patient and a great listener! She helped me grow out my hair leading up to the wedding to a good length while keeping the style fun and functional. We met for a trial (which I highly recommend to any bride) and worked through what I liked/disliked for my wedding style - I was surprised how much I liked on Pinterest that just didn't translate on my hair color/texture/face shape. The day-of style was perfect and better than anything I could have found on Pinterest. Vanessa created a totally customized, beautiful, sophisticated look and my hair piece was incorporated perfectly. She even stuck around to help place my veil! If you are looking for a thoughtful and creative stylist for your wedding day, look no further!

Or... if you prefer to have the same style every time, she will accommodate that request as well. But she will always tell you if something isn't working and will make sure that you leave looking your best. There have been times when I just wasn't feeling the cut or color that I got. It happens. You think you want one thing and then when you get it, it just doesn't look the way you hoped. And each time she fixed the problem (at no extra cost) and went the extra mile to make sure I was very happy with the results. If you are looking for a place that will churn out a hairstyle for you, Di's isn't it. But if you are willing to spend some time in the chair, Di's is well worth visiting. (And, yes - the color and cut in my avatar was done by Di)

Let me start by saying if I could give this 6 out of 5 stars I would. I've lived in both Naperville…read moreand Aurora in the past 6 years or so and have tried just about every highly rated hair cut place you can think of. Some of them were good, others....not so much. I've payed $10 for a haircut and well over $50 for one. I've "been around the block" so to speak when it comes to barbershops in Naperville/Aurora. I came to try out this shop and my only regret is not trying this place out earlier! Carolyn is hands down a master at her craft and gave me one of the best haircuts I've received in a very long time. She was friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable and provided this all in a timely manner that didn't break the bank either. A place like this sounds too good to be true but I can assure you that is not the case here. Give Inspired by Carolyn a try because I'm so glad I did! I can confidently say this has to be the best haircut I've gotten in this area in all the years of me living out here.

I am always getting compliments on my hair and my response is always a referral and "if I ever moved away from Chicago I would fly back here to get my hair done. " I discovered Liz from complimenting a friends hair and since starting to see her have sent numerous friends her way after receiving compliments myself. Liz is a MASTER at balayage and natural looking highlights. I have been getting highlights and/or balayage for 10 years and after going to liz I realize how much I was being ripped off by other stylists!! Liz is an artist. Her knowledge and exceptional skill level is apparent in both the end results but also in sharing her insight with you. I never feel like she is rushing or giving me a standard or typical treatment, I feel like it is always specific to my requests. I have never left disappointed with what she does and I completely trust her!! Liz is easy to get a hold of and is always willing to work with me and my crazy schedule to find an appointment time that works for me. I saw Liz at the previous salon she worked at and have followed her to Vandross (her current salon). I love the vibe of Vandross and it is in a very easy location to access and park at. The salon is clean and organized, with great high end products. You are always given high end salon level care (from washes to blow outs and styled) so you leave the salon looking ready to walk the runway!! If you are thinking about going, GO. You will NOT regret it.

HAIR: Incredible!! I am so happy with the results! I don't…read morethink the pictures do it justice. I got a partial foil and a trim. She did an incredible job framing my face, not only with how she layered my hair, but also with the money pieces (lighter pieces in the front). I get nervous with money pieces because sometimes they look really unnatural, but Abbey did a fantastic job! To provide a reference point, I am the person that ALWAYS cried when they got their hair done because I always hated it. So the fact that I like my hair for once is impressive in itself. HAIR STYLIST: Abbey worked at a bigger hair salon, but was bringing in most of the clients, so she started her own salon. She is incredible at what she does and is willing to go the extra mile to give you a recommendation and talk through ideas with you, unlike other places where I feel like they don't care and they just want to get it over with. Before I even scheduled my appointment, I messaged Abbey asking for her advice on what I should get done to my hair. I communicated that I didn't want to frequently go back for touch-ups and I didn't want it to look unnatural. So she recommended a partial foil with a natural color and said that I could bring in pictures for the color I wanted or she could make a recommendation. At the appointment, I brought up a Pinterest board with like 30 pictures in it. Immediately, she knew which one she would recommend based on what I had told her about a week earlier. She told me which ones were more likely to look brassy if I didn't want to go back for frequent touch-ups. I was very impressed that she remembered our convo. She is also extremely easy to talk to. And if you are the kind of person that doesn't like to talk when you get your hair done, she is totally fine popping on a true crime podcast! AMBIANCE: It's a one-person salon, which I love. I hate when the person next to you is blow drying their hair, so you have to scream to communicate what you want. So I love that it it does not have all of the commotion and a bunch of people are not staring at you when you are sitting there with foil in your hair. It was also extremely convenient because I had important work calls scheduled last minute that I had to be on. Abbey was extremely accommodating. I had my work call on speaker. When she was rinsing my hair and told me to raise my hand if I needed to speak and she would shut it off. Obviously, this would never work at a larger salon. She also let me use her phone charger when my phone was about to die. The salon looks very modern and is very clean. She has a huge mirror instead of the very tiny ones at most salons. She offers you water or a drink like Diet Coke. You sort of feel like a celebrity with your own personal hair stylist. TAKEAWAY: Abbey did an incredible job and is extremely accommodating. She is the only person that I have found that I have complete confidence in and trust doing my hair. I will never go anywhere else!
