I can't say enough great things about this salon. It's a wonderfully calm, professional and…read morewelcoming atmosphere. I've lived and had haircuts at high-end salons all over the country, from New York and DC to LA and SF, and I've only met three stylists that send me home with a haircut I'm happy with--one of which is Kate. I am a no-maintenance, no-product kind of guy, which means the haircut is everything. It has to stand on its own with no help from me yet still look professional and put-together. Thanks, Kate! Appreciate having you in the Rockford area.

So glad to be moving closer. I've been paying over $100 every 6 weeks to get my hair done and…read morewalking away feeling like nobody listened to what I wanted. Not any more. Lorleanne is truly amazing! She listened to my woes and fixed me up. She took time to explain every step of the process and gave loads of fantastic suggestions to help me with my daily routine. I have the best cut and color I've had in 3 years! Can't wait for my next visit

I have A LOT of curly hair, and usually spend a hefty amount on cuts. Not only was it really…read moreinexpensive to have my hair cut, but I was exceptionally pleased with the results. The stylist was very sweet and had some great ideas on how to keep my hair manageable and current. I've also taken my daughter to have her hair cut, and my husband wants to start taking his business there as well. The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff welcoming, and the service on point. I definitely recommend Hair Affair to everyone who asks, and will continue to take our hair business to them.

Friendly, fun, fantastic! I've been going here for about 5 years, and I have never left…read moredisappointed. Even if I was having sort of a bad day, it always got better after being here. I see Lizzie for all of my hair needs and she's awesome. She always listens to what I want. She first consults with you about what you're looking to have done, and she touches your hair and checks it out before taking you to get shampoo'd. There have been times when I came in wanting to try a certain style and she will explain what I will need to do to maintain it, and after talking about it I decide I don't want to hassle with it. She won't just give you a cut without going through styling and maintenance first like a lot of stylists would. I appreciate her honesty, and have always been very happy with what she does. Her prices are unbelievably low for her talent level. In fact, with her price being so affordable, I would get my hair cut every 10 weeks or so. I have now moved to Arizona and haven't found anyone I like nearly as much, so I'm flying back to Illinois to have her cut my hair! I definitely recommend Lizzie at Special Effects.

I've been to every Great Clips in the Rockford area and this location is one of my top 2 favorites…read more I've had great experiences at this location, but just as with any Great Clips, the trick is finding someone you like who will stick around for a while. At the beginning I'd suggest switching around until you really like the end product. Sometimes someone can be new and won't be as good as some of the people who have been there longer. This location It's really easy to get to, it's right in front of (inside of, really) the Schnucks building. I had a great experience today getting a haircut from Em. She was new but did an excellent job and paid great attention to detail. I'm a guy who gets a short cut on the sides and leaves it longer on the top and she nailed it. I'd recommend her and this location! I also like that you can check in online/the app and they usually give you coupons for $1-$2 off your next haircut. If you come here often, they sometimes run a deal where you can buy several haircuts at once (like a gift card) for $10/ haircut. Take advantage of that deal if you're a regular.
