Kathy is not only an amazing and nice person, but she is literally the best hair stylist there is. She listens to your needs and wants, and puts 100% of her effort into fulfilling exactly what you want. I went in a couple days ago, as a regular of hers for the past 4 years, I told her I wanted something new and different but didn't know how to really explan it or even an exact style. She will be honest with you, if you ask her if a certain hairstyle will look good on you or not. Which, I think is a great quality for a stylist to have because if a person wants a bob hair cut, but definitely does not have the right face shape, I believe the stylist should tell you that. Anyways, so I just told her to give me a different cut style from the usual and, let me tell you, I walked out of there feeling like a different person! I felt beautiful!! Other details: Her shop was decorated so nicely and pristinely clean!! I highly recommend going here for any service- especially color, highlights/lowlights, cut, and styling!! read more

Plain and simple, Kathy is the best hair stylist out there. She cuts my hair to the exact precision the same as everytime. I get the same cut, everytime- a 2, with a little trimmed off of the top (according to however my wife wants the length of the top of my hair to be ). Her shop is very clean and neat. She's the only person I trust with cutting my hair just because she knows exactly the way i like it. Ive tried other places out of convenience a few times (sport clips, super cuts)-- big mistake. Told em what i wanted. Did i get it? Absolutely not. Thats why i will only get my hair cut from Kathy. Highly recommend her, she is great at what she does. If you're looking for a new person to cut your hair, definitely give her a shot and try her out!! You will not be disappointed! read more

I met Kathy the owner through a previous salon.... I felt very fortunate to have met her as she seemingly was a designer stylist vs a cut and blow type of stylist. I had presented her with a difficult task... regrowing my hair, while giving me a style in the process. She absolutely did not let me down. I am thrilled to tell you, I love my healthy hair. I have the perfect cut, color, and health. She does not pull punches, if you want something that will end in a complete nightmare..... she will tell you, yet she can take you from where you are with your hair, to where you want to be. Start to finish, I can relax and know I am in good hands, and will come out beautiful every single time! Wish I could post a pic... its that good. read more

From the time I called Kathy to make an appointment to the time I walked out of her door with a fresh cut and color, my first experience with Raze the Root was nothing but positive! Her scheduling is flexible, she really listened to what I wanted, and she is a true professional. Even though we had never met, conversation came easily and it was like talking with an old friend. It is obvious that Kathy loves what she does and that she takes pride in her work. I'm thrilled to have found this small business in Schaumburg to support! read more

It's been years since I've had my haircut I decided that it was time for me to get a new hair do. She came highly recommended. She listened to my concerns about cutting my hair .Kathywas kind patience and understanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns an then gave me a fabulous new hairdo. Still long enough to pull my hair back. Thank you Kathy for the fabulous job read more

Kathy is awesome! I came in for a hair cut not knowing at all what I wanted. She listened to my ideas and concerns, gave her own suggestions, and I couldn't be happier with the result! She was easy to get ahold of, flexible with the appointment, and was ready for me when I got there. She also waxed my eyebrows and gave some great "grooming" advice. I will definitely be back! read more

As I have just moved to the area (and I am picky who I let touch my hair), I went with a recommendation from a friend. Kathy is friendly, professional, I LOVE my hair cut and I was in and out the chair in 30 minutes! I'm making another appointment to go back for a colour! Very pleased and highly recommend Kathy to everyone! read more

So i make my appointment on June 5th , 2 weeks in advance. Kathy text me on Wednesday to confirm and I did. Today she text me again at 12.11 asking to come earlier because she booked some One else at 2pm. No hair done. Very unprofessional...greedy is the word!!! A miss communication in the texts... read more

On the recommendation of a friend, I went to see Kathy for a long-overdue haircut. Not only did she do a terrific job, and I walked out of there feeling like a new person, but she is so personable that by the time I left, I felt like I had just spent time with a long-time friend. Highly recommend!! read more
