I have crazy extremely thin hair and Cat is a magician. I know they say Hairstylists aren't miracle workers, Cat most definitely is!! My thin hair is probably the thing I'm most insecure about and Cat ALWAYS me make feel comfortable when I'm on the chair and I don't get any crazy stares from the mirror. She also gave me tips and tricks on how to make my hair appear fuller. I've gone to Cat for all my hair needs, I've been colored and cut by Cat. I've also had an updo for a pageant done. Definitely recommend! read more

Cat is amazing! She made me feel comfortable and helped me learn about my hair needs. I love the color and cut. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Cat is amazing with cut and color! She has done platinum blonde on me, and various short edgy haircuts.

DISCLAIMER: CASH ONLY What can I say. I followed Cat from Mistress of the Arts, and she's always been amazing. Getting an appointment with her by chance was one of the best things to happen to me (and my hair!). I always ask her opinions with what to do whenever I go for a cut and color. And she also doesn't judge me too badly when I come in after a less than perfect dye job. (LOVE YOU, CAT! :D ) She's super helpful, too, when you ask her opinions and suggestions on how to style hair. And she's sweet, fun, stylish, and all around genuinely awesome human being. Totally recommend her -- 5/5 :):) read more

Cat is the most creative, sassiest, edgiest, sweetest hair styler that has ever laid their scissors on my hair. She definitely knows what you want when you just hint her a few things. She recommends great cuts and makes you feel comfortable when it is a totally new style that you have never tried before. She has been my stylist for the past 7 years and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Thank you Cat for you magic hands! read more

Redrum - Love the cut :D - Hair Stylists Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Cat is the best!! Very professional and creative beyond belief. Has patience for all ages! Has cut my children's hair and they were very comfortable. Was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to slowly ease my children in to the transition of my hair loss due to chemo. Cat was awesome! Told her what I was going through and had in mind; I came in with long hair and walked out with a great short bob hairstyle! Uses nothing but the best products and gives recommendations for continued hair care and style. read more

After over 20 years following a Sassoon-trained, genius stylist, I was forced to find someone new to cut my straight, short hair. I selected Cat based on Yelp reviews, and I'm so glad I did. She is open-minded, listens while offering her own ideas, and is extremely skilled and reasonably priced. I didn't think I could find anyone else whose work I liked, and I have. And I don't have to pay for downtown parking. read more

Been going to Cat forEVER. She is amazing. She's made me brunette w/ blonde highlights, plat blonde, black, and red! Don't know what I would do without her! Her cuts are killer! read more

Cat's where it's at! I was so tired of my bob and all of it's variations. Cat showed me picture of a really cute, very short haircut. It was a little bolder than I originally wanted to go, but my instincts told me that Cat knows what she's doing. I'm so glad I took the leap. This is the cutest summer haircut! I walked out feeling great and ready for some summer! The salon is also super cute, funky and comfortable. I enjoyed chatting with the other ladies in the salon. Redrum is friendly place with a great vibe, and Cat works wonders with scissors. It's a winner! read more

Great talent, friendly and knowledgeable. I love Cat. Being going to her for a year. I love my hair and she is great at what she does! Highly recommended. read more

Cat knows what she's doing. Cut and color are great and I can't wait till my next appointment to see what kind of magic she creates.

I read every review here & decided to see Cat for a haircut on those reviews. I'm happy I took the chance. I have a great haircut. Cat is friendly, makes you feel comfortable and listens to what you want. I will return. Thanks for the help, Yelpers! read more

Another positive review for Cat which is well deserved. I too found her first at Mistress of the Arts and followed her to her new (super cute) Oak Park location. She is very talented with cut and color and can do exactly what you ask, but also offers helpful tips and suggestions. She's also awesome about responding quickly via phone and email which is a huge plus. Great stylist! read more

I needed a new stylist and found Cat through Yelp. She is amazing. At first I was kind of hesitant because we have such different personal styles. I wanted something that was kind of edgy - definitely not matronly - but that would be OK at work in a high school. I am middle aged so I definitely did not want one side shaved. cat has given me the most beautiful buttery blonde long pixie with bangs over the eyes. I get so many compliments on my hair. My students tell me I look "downtown" meaning someone who lives on the Gold Coast. Her prices are about one half to one third of what I would pay at a downtown salon. I have been to some of them and their stylists are not nearly as good as Cat. Plus she is just a really nice person who is really in tune with your needs. If you don't want to talk there is no chatter. If you do, she is all ears. Note: she is now back at Mistress of the Arts. read more
