I've been getting my hair cut and colored by Lynzie for 10 years. Before Lynzie, I would rotate from salon to salon, in fear of my next bad hair cut. When you have curly hair, you understand that fear and the desire to find someone who "gets" it. I feel so lucky that I've had Lynzie in my life for all these years. Over the years I followed her through multiple salons, but unfortunately, I won't be able to follow her when she moves to Colorado (but if I ever visit, you know I will be hitting her up for a c&c!). My hair has changed and my style changed but Lynzie was my rock and always there to give me the best curly cut and hair color around. read more

I've been going to Lynzie for a few years now and I think the photos speak for Lynzie's talent. It had been a LONG time since I had a cut, and my poor waves had been through some rough wedding months of teasing and heat application. Lynzie knows what she's doing when it comes to curly hair, and really knows how to give life/shape back to curls. Go to Lynzie, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been a client of Lynzie's for 5 years. She is an amazing stylist and truly gifted at what she does. She has colored my hair many a times and it always turns out exactly like we talked about. I have naturally curly hair and she always advises on how to style my hair either naturally or straight. When I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to hire for my hair & makeup. My trial was 2 months before my big day. We talked through options and looked at pictures. After she turned me around, I felt transformed! All the other ladies in the salon made me feel as beautiful with their comments as Lynzie made me look. On the morning of the wedding, Lynzie's presence was how she always is; calm, happy and professional. My 4 bridesmaids and mom said how comfortable they felt in Lynzie's hands. She is quick and does amazing work. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist & artist who will listen to you, encourage you and provide feedback to make you look amazing every day or on your special day! read more

I've been getting my hair cut and colored by Lynzie for over five years. Curly hair isn't the easiest to cut, but Lynzie always lives up to the job. On top of that, she has always exceeded expectations with hair coloring - everything from blonde highlights to lavender all over. Thank you, Lynzie! read more

I've been going to Lynzie for nearly 5 years now. I finally found someone I trust with my curls. I appreciate the knowledge she has. There are times I've come in on my appointments not really knowing what I wanted and just telling her that I trust her judgement. I recommend friends and family to Lynzie because she is great at what she does and so easy to talk to. I look forward to our visits. Wonderful customer care. read more

I have never been able to style my hair to maximize its curl. Lindsey dry cut my hair and taught me how to groom my hair from wash to finish to get my hair very curly without frizz. With summer around the corner I'm looking forward to my long soft curls. I have recommended her to others. read more

I have been going to Lynzie for over 4 years now for blonde highlights and cuts. She's the best! She always listens to what you want as a client and is always a pleasure to see, and chat with. I definitely trust her opinions when it comes to what's best for my hair. She's great! read more

I went to Lynzie for a deva curl hair cut. She came highly recommended and I was very impressed myself! She taught me how to style my curls (mine are more wavy than curly) and because of the special curly haircut they air dried so much better than ever before. Highly recommend if you have waves or curls! Plus, she's a sweetheart! read more

I've gone to Lynzie for 10 years. I don't have curly hair, don't need coloring - I just get simple cuts. But Lynzie is wonderful for these. I finally convinced my husband to go to her (he was a lifelong Supercuts patron), and his haircuts always come out fantastic, as well. I have grown to think of Lynzie as a friend, and I am so sad she's leaving Chicago - but thrilled she will be following her dreams. Go to her for the fancy training she has in curls and color, or just get simple trims, like I do. read more

Lynzie is as good as it gets! She not only takes into consideration what you want as a client, but also finds a way to take it to the next level. She gives chic, flattering haircuts. You can go in to her with a million ideas, or none. You will walk out a happy client. I wake up every morning thinking my hair already looks good. I don't have good genes to thank, I have Lynzie! Go to her. You won't regret it. Cheers! read more

I had my hair cut by Lynzie after seeing what a wonderful job she did on my friend. She cut my hair while it was dry and I loved it ! I can't imagine having any other haircut. You can see what your hair is looking like in real time instead of waiting till the end. This is a huge advantage as you can direct where you want your haircut to go as your cutting it. Lynzie specializes in wavy/curly hair which I think are the hardest hair to cut. She is super professional and works magic. I had long frizzy hair and she brought bounce back to life ! Love! read more

Lynzie is amazing! She is such a genuine and nice person who also happens to be an outstanding stylist! I went to her wanting to be able to wear my hair naturally curly, but also have it look nice when I choose to straighten it. She really listens to what your hair goals are, and helps you achieve them! I have gotten SO many compliments on my hair since my appointment! Lynzie is not pushy with products. You can tell it is her passion and calling to help people feel and look their most beautiful selves. She is so uplifting, and I can't wait until my next appointment! read more

Lynzie is really a transformational stylist. She has done my hair and makeup for television appearances, as well as photography shoots. She is incredibly on-trend, and shows each client pictures of prospective styles before she goes to work. You will never feel more confident than you do when Lynzie does your hair and/or makeup! read more

I love love love Lynzie and more importantly love what she does to my hair. She's really easy to talk to and also tells it to me straight (about my wavy/sometimes slightly curly hair). I don't know about most people but I must really search to find someone I trust to cut my hair (cause that's all I do, no color for me, but I've seen her work with others and it looks great). I've had probably 6 haircuts by Lynzie since starting to see her - and maybe more - and I've liked or loved them all. And her new location, Shag a Salon, is quite nice. If you have curly hair or just want someone you can trust who will also guide you gently, Lynzie is your girl! read more

I absolutely love Lynzie! I have very curly hair and she is one of the first hair stylists who really knows how to handle my crazy hair. So when it came time to pick someone to do my hair for my wedding Lynzie was the obvious choice. She did any absolutely amazing job and I could not have been happier. She also did my make up and made me look so natural which is exactly what I wanted. Not only did she do my hair and makeup but she also did my 6 bridesmaids and my mother. They all looked amazing and everyone's hair stayed perfect all night. I am so glad my friend referred me to Lynzie, she is the greatest!!! read more

I have been seeing Lynzie for a couple of years. She is absolutely amazing. I have difficult hair and am extremely picky. My hair has a lot of warmth and I like it to be on the cool side. She is so knowledgeable about how to make my hair the perfect color and helps me to keep it that way. I also am particular about my cut because if it's not cut carefully, my hair can be hard to style. I have some curl in my hair and appreciate how she can work with it so I can wear it straight, curly or a combination. She always takes time to listen to me and work with me to make my hair look the way I want it to look. I'm high maintenance so it's hard to find someone with the knowledge, understanding and patience Lynzie has. Every time I walk out of the salon, I'm so happy with my hair. She is an incredibly talented artist who always makes my hair look classy, stylish and perfect. If you are looking for the perfect stylist, It's Lynzie. I posted pictures above of my hair. read more

Would not recommend for curly hair, I am confused about her education and training. I came in looking for a good curly hair cut, one where you are layered nice and smoothly, no triangle or diamond shape, and layered such that all layers curl. Sometimes the bottom layer gets heavy and pulled straight, but if cut properly this doesn't happen. Given her other reviews and her pedigree, I assumed she fit the bill. The cut went well, Lynzie is pleasant and makes you feel comfortable. She says all the things I already know to be true - shampoo rarely, condition, scrunching, etc - but when my hair is blow dried and she asks me how I like it, I'm confused. My hair is now diamond shaped. There is a too short layer that sticks out above around the ears. I came in with hair that was the to the top of my bra strap in the back and could get under my armpits. Then there is the still straight bottom layer! Wierdly long in the back. There is another layer at the back of the skull, then about an inch shorter. My friend said it looked like a long mullet. She has already greeted her next client at this point, but I ask her about the long back. She says "I didn't want to lose the length" ...? I had not expressed caring about that. I said, "I don't care about that, it grows back. I don't want this long layer straightening out." Then there was several minutes of hesitant clipping and confused communication. I'm not even sure what happened, I had to get somewhere, and she had a tight schedule. As she told me again repeatedly on every phone call I've had with her. Good to know you don't have time for me. Well she offered another 15, but at the pain of that interaction, I couldn't. I went on a trip that night and coming back three days later, I asked her to see me to correct it, that I did not like it. She made time to see me, though we both had busy schedules. I guesstimated it would take 15 minutes or so, expressing uncertainty - I'm not a hairdresser, but I wanted it to be quick too. She agreed to see me after work at 8pm, as she didn't have time during work. I appreciated her staying late for me. I thought that is the mark of good customer service, so hard to find. But that's not what she was doing. I arrived at 7:50, book in hand to span the ten minutes, but she took me right away while she was treating another woman's hair. I assumed she was coloring it blonde, which is a time constrained thing. She assured me on a phone call later, when I was expressing this, that is was a treatment that had a fairly large window. But she didn't say that then. Then came the difficulty of communicating an art I'm not trained in. I said don't touch these short ones any more, which she thankfully didn't. I asked to shorten the back to match, reducing the range between the shortest and longest, so it would look less mullet like. Every inch was a struggle. She asked me to show her each cut, and several times asked "are you sure?". Once we are to the point where I'm basically cutting my own hair, yes I'm sure. The timer went off when I was still trying to figure out how to fix the still long parts. I asked her to layer so the now acceptable I suppose length of the long blended better, as it looked blunt and thick. She took a few snips and declared me done. I confusedly asked if she had layered it all, she assured me she did. I was done. We have had a few conversations, but we talk past each other. She offered me 15 minutes, but I wanted a partial refund. She called me disrespectful for not liking my hair cut. We have different understandings of what "standing by your work" means. tl;dr Don't overpay for this haircut. Definitely not worth the price. You don't get the individual attention that your unique curls deserve. Or I didn't anyway. read more

I was hesitant to switch stylists after several years at the same salon. When I met Lynzie, my concerns were immediately alleviated. Her passion, and wealth of knowledge, were evident from the start. I typically wear my hair straight, but was interested in experimenting with my curls. Lynzie talked me through exactly how she was cutting my hair, and the rationale behind the styling. She took time to explain the process of producing the best curl, and how to replicate this at home. I walked out of the salon with the best, and most versatile, haircut I had ever received. My biggest regret is that I didn't find Lynzie sooner! read more

I went to see Lynzie about a month ago. I was very impressed by her knowledge of hair how to cut it, different from curly to straight!! I have a lil bit of a wave in my hair naturally, ( but it's not the same all over) when she was done I had a beautiful wave all over. I've been able to recreate the beauty my self pretty good too. I highly recommend her to anyone with hair! Curly wavy or straight! read more

After many years of going to an expensive salon, I booked an appointment with Lynzie after seeing how she cut my daughter's hair. Not only did a get a great cut that left my hair feeling better than it has in a very long time, but Lynzie has showed me new ways to take care of my hair--from how I dry it to how I style it--that make it easier to get ready in the morning and have my hair look the way I want. It was tough to make the change in stylists, but I am so glad that I did! read more

So not to sound redundant...but if you are a curly girl struggling with your hair you really MUST go see Lynzie of LS Hair & Makeup Design!!! When I first went to see her I was really frustrated with my hair. It is naturally curly in some areas, frizzy in others, and even borderline straight in some. When left to it's own devices, it's quite...interesting. When I sought out Lynzie, I had been alternatively straightening my hair and curling it with a curling iron almost every day for 18 months...so needless to say it was incredibly damaged. She introduced me to the right products for my hair to bring back the health and curl. She gave me my first 'dry cut' working with the natural curl so I felt more confident to wear it naturally curly. Slowly but surely the health and vitality of my hair came back, and then surpassed anything I'd ever experienced before. And Lynzie's cuts and styles have just gotten better and better!! Whenever I leave a Lynzie cut & gloss, I always have random people compliment me on how beautiful my hair is. Also, she does a great job of listening and always respecting what you want, but also bringing new ideas to the table. I also must say she's just lovely to be around...she genuinely likes people, she's an easy conversationalist, and is never gossipy or negative. All in all, I can't recommend her enough!! read more
