When arrived at the Conrad Chicago I inquired about hair and nail salons, Brittany the concierge contacted me and recommended Maxine's. My first response was"would you go there?" she replied that she would, so I said "very well, I will too." Whelp I allowed myself to be talked out of going there for another place. I went to other place yesterday and left DISAPPOINTED. As I was returning to the hotel I stopped into Maxine to check for openings for today 6/16/17. Talk about being in the right place at the right time...someone was on the phone canceling an appointment for Friday 6/16/17 @ 9. That was the exact time I walked in to inquire about someone's availability. Michelle's appointment cancelled and now I'm in.."YES!!!" Michelle did a beautiful job with my unfamiliar natural hair. She was very engaging, had BEAUTIFUL energy, and great advice on what I can do to compliment my natural curly hair. Something I am learning to manage to avoid my usual style - using heat. She concluded her services with a warm sincere hug. Thank Michelle Dixon for a beautiful job. Next time I'm in Chicago I know where to go. read more

I just followed my colorist, Marshall Violante, from his previous salon and couldn't be happier. Marshall is a color God - his judgement and technique are impeccable. Always natural looking and my hair is always healthy and in great shape. He's also super pleasant and very professional. Color work is time consuming so if you have to sit in a chair that long to look great, Marshall is the person you want to chat with. His recommendations on everything current are always spot on. Also the new salon is amazing. Lively and fun and very stylish. read more

I went to Maxine's as a practice model. And practice it was. I agreed to let the stylist try an updo after the trim, and it ended up that she brushed my hair for 3 hours straight. I've never heard of anyone brushing hair so much, and my head is not sensitive. It hurt for two days (and I'm sure I was missing some hair) She slapped my hair in my eyes and laughed about it. My stylist, and the head stylist made snide comments about me as if I couldn't hear them! It wasn't worth the hassle, rudeness, and sore head for a cheap trim. Many of the pro stylists (mostly the men) were extremely nice. read more

I got my hair cut from Brittany and she was absolutely awesome. She took the time to ask me what length I wanted it, understood why I wanted it cut and the length of the bangs, etc. From the wash to the finish- she was very professional. She understood that my hair was treated and showed me how to style it differently to suit my face, added layers while keeping the length- basically listened and did such an amazing job. I would definitely go back. Love the location and the space- the staff is friendly and the salon is clean. Brittany rocks! read more

I went in for highlights today and wanted to be wowed. Was it good? Yes, my hair looks nice. Did it turn out as amazing as the other reviews would lead me to believe? No. My request was simple -- golden blonde highlights with more focus on the ends and around the face. Patrick listened and I thought we were on the same page...until I was blowing out my hair and saw that the only change was that my bangs were blonde. The rest he had done in light brown. I can't tell my hair has been highlighted. For $170, you would hope you could see a difference. Other than that, the salon was pretty, the service was great, and all the employees I interacted with were polite and punctual. read more

Tracey from Maxine contacted me shortly after I posted the review, and offered to help me find a colorist. I went back over the weekend to Bob again, and Patrick. Patrick did a tint and then "express balayage", as I believe it's called, on my hair, and then put a gloss on it.....and I have to say I look FABULOUS!!! I had thought balayage was more of a "blonde thing" and told him I wanted to stay out of the realm of caramel/blonde highlights, but he did a chocolate brown tint and just painted some warm light brown pieces in, and it looks fabulous!! Unique, and compliments my coloring. Let me point out that it has been OVER 5 MONTHS since I got a trim with Bob....and while anyone who knows hair is probably cringing as they read this, the shape of my cut held up SO WELL over the past 5 months!! I only needed to remove the dry split ends. Before Bob I would have to get my hair cut every other month to keep it looking decent. Props to Maxine for not only being a top notch salon, but providing such great customer service. You don't often find that. read more

My first time through and had Thor create a new style for me. It is fun and easy which is great for me as i am just the wash and blow dry kind. I travel through here from time to time and will definitely be stopping in again on my next trips to Chicago. Thanks for a nice and comfortable experience. The staff is awesome. read more

I'm extremely picky about my hair, so I feel like I've tried half the salons in Chicago trying to find the best one. I was almost always unhappy with the result of my cuts and blow-outs... and then I came across Hans at Maxine's. He is AMAZING. I have never had another stylist as consistently excellent as Hans. I've had maybe 20 blowouts from him and a dozen haircuts -- each one has been perfect. An added bonus is the fact that he's someone you actually want to spend time with because he's fun and interesting. I have very thick hair and he's the only stylist I know who makes it bouncy and slightly wavy and gorgeous. Most stylists get really lazy with thick hair or else have no idea how to handle it -- they just take a flat-iron and make my hair stick straight (thanks, but I can just flat-iron my hair myself). Hans really takes his time to get it exactly right... the kind of blow-out that's impossible for me to replicate myself... and therefore, worth the money! Can't recommend Hans enough. The salon itself is pretty great-- I believe the owner's husband is an architect and designed the space. Le Corbusier leather sofas and chairs... clean, white, modern interior. Friendly front desk staff, and valets who can run out to get a taxi for you in the rain (essential!). read more

I heart Bob. I'm not afraid to say it. When you walk in to a hair salon, you want to walk out feeling fabulous and polished. Bob has never ever let me down. The salon itself doesn't give me the warm fuzzies (it's fine, but as others have mentioned, a tad sterile), and it's definitely pricey. HOWEVER, Bob takes his time to understand what I'm looking for, gets to know my random hair quirks, and manages to consistently create flattering cuts for my face shape. Really, what more do you need? read more

Aaron David is a superb hair stylist! I've never written a review for "yelp" -- but Aaron David gave me such an EXCELLENT hair cut -- I simply have to tell people about him. My former hair dresser moved to Colorado and he recommended Aaron to me. I was worried because I like a short, "precision" shape. And what a great recommendation it turned out to be! I got there a little early and Aaron took me early and worked every single minute he could. We laughed about him being "OCD" -- as he worked on the nearly finished cut and snipped and looked and then snipped a little more and then snipped a little more. It was like a talented friend working on my hair -- someone who really cared about my hair cut and gave me the extra time and effort to have me walk out of there with a top model's hair cut. It was so sharp and "cleanly" cut I swear I could've hung upside down and my hair would still have formed a perfect curve! read more

I live in Tampa, but fly to Chicago for Amy to cut my hair 3-4 times a year. I found her last year while I was in South Bend, and would drive into Chicago. I had a terrible cut that she was able to fix and make look wonderful. I would highly recommend her! She's very personable and listens to what your needs are -- she doesn't rush you. I really like that she washes your hair and drys it first -- she is almost studying the condition, texture and situation before she starts cutting. I always feel like I'm in good hands! I've tried the coloring department twice (upstairs) and left happy. I felt that the prices for highlighting were a little high. Amy's cuts start at $100 and they are 100% worth every penny! read more

Uh, getting my hair cut here by Amy for years-a nice cut. Last time as I walkes out the hair stylist next to her asked Amy why she talked to me. O geeez, I though the $140 per hour made me worthy of a word or two. I suggest if you go to Maxine's wear your wealth on your sleeve and make sure all the stylists know you are a TFB (Trust Fund Baby). read more

I made an appointment for a haircut and highlights based on reviews in Allure magazine. However, I am so disappointed by this salon. I am seriously shocked that there are so many accolades. When I made my appointment, I told the person on the phone that I'm new to the salon and inquired about scheduling a consultation prior to my appointment. They told me that they would book about 15 minutes at the start of the appointment for consultation so no need to come in separately. Once I get to the appointment, I'm discussing with woman who was going to color my hair what I wanted. Basically I brought in a couple of pictures of a celebrity with similar base color as mine. I'm showing these pictures to her and explaining that I want to avoid any color that's too red and I want the balayage to blend in the greys. After hearing me out, she tells me that the pictures I'm showing her are her are the celebrity's natural color. Okay, so then I show her pictures of me with highlights done by my old colorist. Her response is that they're different and she's confused as to what I want done. I want the highlights from the celebrity photo!!! I thought there was an understanding of what I want. Then she says something along the lines of recommending a consultation. I explain that I DID tell the person with whom I booked the appointment that I'm new to the salon and asked to schedule a consultation. The results: my highlights are just showing up at the crown. And the ends are still brown--it looks like she didn't pull the highlight through to the end even though I saw her paint on the color. In addition, they're chunky and orange--two things I specifically said I do not want. I didn't get a chance to see them because once my hair was washed, I was rushed off to the person who was going to cut my hair. (The colorist did check my hair... as I'm paying and she's putting her coat on.) Again, I brought pictures of how I wanted my hair cut. Basically, the lob style with layers so I can get a natural wave. Layers were cut but they're not blended to the ends. So it's more of a chopped look. And, the lighting was really bad to even notice nor was I given a mirror to check the back when I was at the salon. Overall, I feel that the stylists are so rushed that they do a half-fast job. There's no dialogue between the stylist and client (that's for both color and cut). I feel like the mentality is to just get the job done as quickly as possible so they can get to the next appointment. I've thrown money away since I've had to dye over the streaky highlights. read more

Disappointed with Patrick for Balayage. He over-toned my hair so the highlights disappeared. When I came back he was hesitant to admit he made a mistake and then highlighted them again (using foils) and used a toner that did not suit my skin tone, even though I made it very clear that cool tones worked best. Bottom line, didn't listen, didn't check his work and didn't own his mistakes. read more

I came here for a bridal updo trial run and was very disappointed in the final result. Maxine's is a good salon but not for updo's, I'd suggest going elsewhere. read more

The front desk staff were incredibly rude and awkward, both when I checked in and checked out. I didn't feel welcomed at all. The bigger problem, though, was in the fact that my stylist (Cliff) completely failed to do the two simple things I asked of him. I wanted a cut for the summer and a good blowout, so I requested that he thin out my very thick hair and give me a straight/sleek blowout. He trimmed my hair at the ends for approximately 10-15 minutes with absolutely no thinning, layering, or reshaping, and then proceeded to blow dry it to have weird ends flipping outwards away from my face and way too much volume. My hair is not hard to blow out - it ends up looking good and pretty much the same every time I've gotten it done, and Cliff somehow managed to screw that up so it looked like a creepy wig had transplanted itself on my head. When I asked him to fix the flippy ends, he sighed in a really exasperated way and just heated up a flat iron and ran it over the ends then send me packing, so my hair was overly voluminous at the top and then had creepy stringy flat ironed ends. I had to run damage control with a flat iron on my $80 haircut in a rush before a formal event that night. Truly a disaster. I have not experienced such a botched haircut/blowdry since I was about 8 years old. read more

CRAP. PERIOD. Don't believe the hype or the press they receive (due to a good PR agency or marketing). I moved here from L.A. and after extensive research and rave reviews from credible media outlets, I assumed this salon could do no wrong. I assumed wrong. Do your research girls. I had to BLOW DRY MY OWN HAIR and pay more than expected for less than stellar results. Sadly disappointed and will be spending the inflated charges on a flight back to LA next time to see a my original COLORIST. read more

Do not step foot in this salon! I recently moved to Chicago & was looking for a new salon. The reviews on yelp were mixed but more good than bad so I decided to give it a try. All I can say is I've never cried in a salon chair before now. My long, blunt cut is now short, shaggy and full of horrible, choppy layers. My color is streaky and un-natural looking. I have never hated my hair as much as I do right now. On the upside: because I was so unhappy with my cut, she didn't charge me. Thank goodness winter's on its way, it won't seem odd that I'm always wearing a hat. read more

I've always loved getting my hair cut and mixing it up with color, but I've had trouble finding a good spot since I've moved from California. After a couple of bad experiences I actually stopped getting my hair done in Chicago at all and would just wait to get it done during my frequent trips back to Cali. It's been seven going on eight years now, and I've FINALLY found a place (and more importantly people) that I love going to. Jasen (for color) - Jasen is wonderful. He really listens to what I want, and he's one of the first colorists that I feel like understands the "language" of non-colorists (ie if I don't use the technical term he doesn't correct me or turn me a wonky color). My issue has always been that I like changing my hair a lot, and that I'm more interested in it turning out fabulous than exactly like the magazine page I ripped out (what looks good on Jessica Alba might not look so hot on me!). I always thought that would make me a dream-client: I sit down and I want suggestions and am open to anything non-green, but I always seem to get a blank stare as a response. Jasen has given me some really fun looks while making sure that I'm comfortable and not going outside my comfort zone (ie I don't get fired!). He is always very clear about exactly what he is doing and why, so there are never any surprises. He never disappoints! Bob (for cut) - Bob is such a character (in a great way!!). He is really fun to talk to and really focuses on what looks good. I am the first to admit that I have a huge paranoia about people lopping off my hair. Bob put me completely at ease and has given me great results every time I've gone (4-5 times at the time of this review). He manages to keep my length while still mixing things up to pacify my hair ADD. He also does these head massages that are AMAZING! Chills, every time. He has a wealth of information about products and tips, and shares them freely without being pushy. The salon itself is nice and I really appreciate that a couple of days a week they have after-work hours so that I can go straight from work. All of the staff has been very friendly, and they have some yummy flavored teas worth checking out. read more

Best haircut of my life! I have stick straight brown hair; you'd think that'd be easy to work with, but it's not. Maxine's is more than worth the price, and I've never been happier walking out of a salon. Make sure to ask for Bridget - she's the best! read more

Hands down the worst experience at a hair salon! The colorist first off didn't know what I was there for, then upon me telling her...said she didn't have enough time to fully execute it. When I made the appointment, I explained what I needed. Leslie, the colorist was able to do a temporary fix until I could reschedule a return visit for my original request. The temporary fix was a disaster- my roots are now orange and don't match the rest of my hair tone. I wouldn't trust this salon for anything. read more

I had my hair cut with Brittany and it is just simply so cute :) She listened to my needs and perfectly executed. I had some trouble with my natural hair at the roots and some curls at the bottom left from my last perm. She made my hair lighter and natural looking again by creating a soft layer all throughout. I just appreciate how much attention she puts to what her clients want (not a lot of stylists catch that) Definitely recommend her ! read more

Thank you Evan for making a haircut that didn't work with my hair texture & transforming it back into a cut that I don't need to do much to & it still looks nice. Was ABSOLUTELY worth paying for a second haircut a week later. Service at the salon is top-notch, friendly & gracious & not patronizing. Lovely experience! Have been back twice (for color & another cut) & had same experience. read more

I read many reviews before going here because I am very picky about who touches my hair, and by reading up on this place I felt it may be worth all the positive comments. I've been to upscale salons in California and know this is not one of them. I felt the customer service girls upfront were a bit rude and pretentious. The staff here was not friendly. I brought my own cleanser and the girl who was washing my hair could not speak English so when I was trying to explain how to properly use it she didn't understand nor could she read the directions on the bottle. Needless to say She did not wash my hair properly. I had an appt with Josie who is supposed to be good with curly hair. I addressed my hair issues to her which were mostly the split ends. I'm sure Josie has had wonderful success with other clients but she did not give me a good cut. I came back in my car and noticed the split ends were still there and I wanted to cry. My hair was not styled well and felt flat and greasy. I'm certainly not impressed with this place. It's a good place to purchase shampoos but that's about it. I will not go here ever again. I felt I paid a lot for a hairstyle that I was not happy with. Every time I style my hair it makes me so frustrated that I wanna scream. I will just continue to keep my hairstylist in California. read more

Thumbs down. I went there for a cut, and the stylist gave me one of the worst cuts of my life. A disaster. I finally had to stop her before she made my hair completely unwearable. The colorist, who's been featured in several magazines, I've visited twice - the highlights were great, so I was willing to come back. However, I'm really not satisfied. I've had far better service ... and I plan to hunt around the city for another salon. Caveat emptor. read more

Noooooooooooo!!! Maxine lost one of their BEST hairstylists ever, Patricia Arredondo. Thankfully, I found out that she moved to Trio Salon, Ltd. (located on Wabash, only a half a block way). As much as I love the experience that Maxine has to offer, I will follow Patricia wherever she goes-she is THAT good! *I would be remiss if I didn't send my love to Robert Bennett , who is a GOD at color. He is gifted in creating a color story that's perfect for your coloring and hair cut read more

My friend had to BLOW DRY HER OWN HAIR!!!!!! That's like going to a restaurant and making your own food or busing your own table. Unreal. She also said another new client came in and it was a little rainy outside and they made her blow dry her hair before they cut it! That is just crazy. Wouldn't you want your clients looking their best when they walk out of the salon?? Please don't go there. I would expect for their location to have EVERYTHING included in the ridiculous prices they charge. What a joke. read more

This review is more about Rob Reyes than the salon itself. I don't even know if he still works here because I moved from Chicago over 3 years ago, but I assume he does. While I was in Chicago for college, I always went to Rob for haircuts. Before him, I had never gone to the same hairstylist more than once, because I was always trying to find someone better. However, after reading about Rob in Allure, I made an appointment with him (in another salon before he started working at Maxine) and kept going back to him all four years I was in Chicago. He is an amazing hairstylist as well as a wonderful person, and I always had excellent haircuts whenever I would see him (he would cut the perfect long layers). When I was flying to Chicago for a wedding, I made sure to make an appointment with him and received so many compliments at the wedding from people wanting to know where I had my hair cut and styled. I thought Maxine was a very nice salon--clean and nicely decorated, and the people working there were always very nice. Highly recommended! read more

I am genuinely touched that within an hour of leaving my review, I was contacted by the management at Maxine. They were very sympathetic and invited me to return as their guest to have another of their stylists fix my hair. I changed my rating to reflect that they do provide superior customer service and I would consider giving them another try in the future. read more

If you want a great haircut, Thor does a fabulous job. I have thin hair, and you would never know it. Thor's cut gives my hair added volume, body, and great swing. Diana is an expert with my color and highlights. Maxine's Salon is top notch and totally focused on the me from the time i pull to the curb for valet service until I walk out the door knowing my hair looks and feels great. read more

The short of it: I initially went to Leslie who didn't do what I wanted and then sorta made it worse by not being entirely truthful. I called the salon two days later and was offered a fix free of cost. Enter Stacie - the best colorist ever! Fixed my color even better than I could have imagined, and then enter Evan: gave me an awesome haircut and blow-out post color! Love, love, love this place! Awesome customer service, great colorists and stylists. My new go-to place for sure. The long version: I have long dark Indian hair and don't harbor any illusions about what my hair can and cannot do. Add to this, I put henna in my hair for over a year (but 6 months before I came in for color). I was paired with Leslie who told me quite clearly that the Balayage/Ombre effect I was going for was going to be near impossible and that I would probably need to dedicate myself to doing this over many times. I was OK with that. She was quite pleasant to work with, she did her thing with the lightener and I was sent off to shampoo. I hadn't needed a blowout that day so I was sent to the self blow dry station to do it myself. As I did it I noticed that my hair seemed patchy orangey in places. I saw leslie when I dried most of it and she denied any patchiness in the back (where I couldn't really see it properly) and felt that there was no need for any toning. I trusted this, vowed to come back in a few weeks and left kind of upset with the truly, truly minimal change. I felt like I couldn't say anything because of what she had said about perhaps nothing happening on my hair. Once I got home and started straightening my hair, I noticed that my haircolor had indeed lifted, but in random haphazard places and was bright orange where it lifted. I had even asked her if it was patchy and she had denied this and felt that it didn't need to be toned down either. She also distinctly told me that she didn't think that my ends would lighten at all. I have previously had blond highlights all over my jet black hennaed hair - and my colorist in NYC was able to get this in one shot, so to prove to myself, I bleached my ends for 25 minutes and lo and behold, my ends had significantly lightened. Feeling cheated, I called Maxine's (I have only ever called with a complaint once before in my entire lifetime!) and spoke with someone named Tracey who was amazingly nice and was exemplary in her customer service. She rescheduled me for an appointment with Stacie - who was phenomenal! She explained everything patiently. After lifting the color from my hair, she toned it, and the color is AMAZING! Totally the look I wanted and has that ombre effect! I followed up this awesome color experience with Evan who was sweet as ever and who gave me an awesome haircut (perfect layers!) and blowout. I know this is a long review, but you want to make the best decision you can regarding your hair. You may not always get someone who can give you what you want right away, but they should be truthful and minimally, you should certainly be offered a fix, especially with the prices you pay. Maxine is a place that delivers on its promise. read more

the HORROR. I went in for a simple highlight. nothing too crazy, just wanted to lighten up my look, keep it natural, SIMPLE. little did i know... they wash out the color and i go in for a blow dry. Im sitting under the light and my formally chestnut brown hair is glistening with a PURPLEish pink hue. I looked like a scenester kid. How the hell does natural translate to THAT? Someone needs to pry the bottle of dye OUT of Patrick's hands. Oh and then he got all defensive about his crappy job, after i sat there for two hours while other people tried to fix the mess he made. My hair is the color of merlot now, thanks to him. Again, I wasnt even going in for a full dye. We're partcial highlights here people. Did he buy his beautician certificate online? read more

I am quite the cheapskate so when I saw the price list I kind of freaked. But I gave it a whirl after talking to a coworker about the difficult life of ladies with fine hair. My solution: Amy, the down-to-earth hair guru, who, instead of chatting you up about her drama, teaches you all things hair. I've adjusted my budget now to fit her into my beauty regimen. Thank you, Amy! read more

Josh is amazing! I just adore this little cutiepie and the fact that I've been having him color my hair for several years says it all. I've been to a lot of colorists and Josh is, hands down, the best I've ever experienced. He has done absolute wonders with my color. My unruly, curly hair is hard to work with but under Josh's care it has never looked better. We always have great conversations about a million different things. He is constantly furthering his own education and broadening his professional horizons. I wouldn't go to anyone else and I'd follow him anywhere! read more

If you want THE best colorist ask for Patrick Ryan. I followed him through 3 hair salons because no one is as talented as Patrick. He has a great eye for color, really knows his products, and is very conscientious. I never felt rushed and always felt fully confident in his judgment. I moved from Chicago 8 months ago and am still trying to find someone nearly as good as Patrick. read more

I went back to Maxine during a birthday trip to Chicago. I was feeling a little blah and wanted to get some color added to my hair for a pick-me-up. As soon as I sat down in Jasen's chair I knew I was in great hands. He was very funny and friendly, and he put me at ease immediately. I told him I wanted to try balayage, and he suggested a mix of honey and caramel shades that would work well for me. I told him to go for it and as he painted my hair, we chatted about my birthday trip and he offered me some great suggestions on things to do while I was in town. After he finished with my color, I moved on to Qiana for styling. (I had been with Rivkah before, but she was off that day.) As Qiana blew my hair dry, it was then that I was able to see how amazing Jasen's color work truly was. It made me look younger - a definite plus on my birthday! Qiana was sweet and talented, quickly curling my hair into fabulousity. When I looked at the final result, I felt hot - and I hadn't felt that way in too long. I had drinks with an old friend after leaving the salon, and he couldn't stop telling me how great I looked. Thanks again, Maxine, for making me look great, and for making my birthday special. Jasen & Qiana - I'll see you again soon! read more

I have to start by saying I am a little biased....I have been getting my hair cut from Shelly Aguirre for 10 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. She has given me my Keratin treatments for the past 2 years and styles my entire family. She is always current with the trendiest styles and always willing to try new things. I am extremely satisfied with every style she has ever lived thru with me and I give her my utmost respect! completely trusting someone with your hair says a lot!! read more

It's hard for me to decide how many stars to give since I've had a great experience with cut and a horrible with color. I can understand why there are so many 5 star reviews, and a good number of 1 star -- it really depends on who your stylist/colorists are. I have long, thick, dark brown hair. I came in with over-grown ends and faded medium brown highlights. I had a big event coming up in a month and I wanted to get some natural looking highlights and a long layer cut with lots of body and shape. I booked an appointment with Robert for my color and Rob for my cut. I asked Robert for very natural looking highlights. I mentioned several times that I am am not someone who comes to the salon more than once every 4-6 months and don't want a color/color placement that required much upkeep. Our consultation didn't go very well - I really felt like he wasn't listening to me - which should have been a red flag. Anyway, he ended up bleaching my hair for the highlights so drastically, I literally had white sections of hair before he applied the colored tone. I expressed concern in the middle of it and he assured me it would look fine. In the end, my highlights were several shades lighter than what we discussed. I hated the color so much and because I had a important event coming up in a month I decided I couldn't live with it! I called the next day and they were happy to redo my hair free of charge (which I appreciated). They were only able to rebook me with Robert again (which I was hesitant about) and I asked him to darken my highlights several shades. He seemed put off by my request and questioned my choice several times as he reluctantly put in a darker gloss color. My hair did look better after this but still not exactly what I was looking for since the highlight placement was already done. I'm sure not sure Robert likes to do more subtle, natural color and he simply does what he thinks is best and not what the customer wants. To add insult to injury, the darker color faded significantly after about 2 weeks and developed very "hot" roots, so had to go to another local salon to get it fixed before my event. I will never go back to Robert. As far as my haircut, my experience was completely different. Rob gave me a beautiful haircut for my long hair. He really listens and talks you through the entire cut (which I appreciated since it was my first time seeing him). He also gave me a very relaxing head massage and one of the best blowouts I've ever had. All in all, I will be returning to Rob and will be looking for a different colorist at Maxine. read more

Bob is good at cutting and styling. Alas the second time he wasn't as into it.

If anyone is looking for the best dye job in the city they should go see Patrick at Maxine. I was stricken with hereditary silver hair from my early twenties and it's always been a challenge finding someone who could cover those defiant roots up right! Well Patrick Ryan to the rescue!! No matter if you want a single process or fierce highlights Patrick is your guy.. he'll whip up the perect color and do your wig up right. Run, do not walk to Maxine salon and ask for him immediately!! You won't regret it.. read more
