Thank you Lisa K for another great job. I did hair once upon a time on the North shore for a long time. And worked with her for many years. One of the many things I love about Lisa is she listens and recommends wonderful suggestions. She is a very prescion techincal creative cutter. I arrived early and saw her interact with guest before me. She gives unbelievable service and I mentioned earlier in previous reviews her continuing education. The salon is beautiful ! Wonderful products, nice reclining shampoo bowls that adjust to you. Thank you Lisa !! Love you long time read more

My team and I contacted Josie to do our makeup for a work related photo shoot. Our team consists of both men and women. She was incredible from start to finish. Josie gave us terrific suggestions and her make up application, as well as the look, was PERFECT. The make up lasted all day, the photos looked great.

After striking out with a few salons in the city I decided to try the suburbs. I just can't justify paying over $450 for a cut and color, which is what most places around me (Wicker Park) are charging. Finding a new hairstylist is so stressful, but I'm so glad I found Maddie! Everyone at the salon was incredibly friendly, they are very efficient with time, prices are reasonable, and I love my new cut & full highlights. Maddie understood exactly what I was asking for, I've FINALLY found my new salon! read more

Been going here for years, when my stylist retired. They suggested "Alva" who cut my hair and gave me the worst haircut I've ever gotten. Disappointed that they connected me with a rookie stylist who can't cut hair and struggles maneuvering her scissors which made me nervous to start. I brought a photo with me and she folded it up, never looked at it, and gave me the most nonsense haircut. And I have straight hair that I have a lot of, but it is thin. Alva dragged the scissors along the bottom 4 inches of my hair instead of cutting it. Once I realized this (my glasses are off so hard to actually see) I had to ask her to stop cutting that my hair doesn't respond well to that. Now I can't comb it through now as it all knots up at the ends. She knew this during the blowout. I think she was trying to cut the ends so they flip, but doesn't know the technique. The salon asks for feedback and I gave Alma one star, and they never followed up. I will never go there again or recommend this salon! $90 to ruin my hair for a haircut. Geesh. What a waste! read more

Pretty nice place for a haircut! It's clean, safe and pretty vibe. They offer great deep conditioning treatment for your hair. read more

I guess a lot of salons are ditching their receptionists and relying on a text back when they are too busy to answer the phone. Considering what women spend on their hair today, I think a salon should have more of a personal touch. When I call I'd like to make the appointment and not wait for someone else to call back, if they ever do. The auto text back was not helpful as no one called back. read more

Josie for makeup at Salon Vole is absolutely amazing! Josie is exceptional with her makeup techniques for both teenagers and adults. I once arrived early and the salon offered me a water or pelligrino-the service and smiles of the salon are 5 star! read more

Josie has done my makeup the last few weekends for personal events I have had, and to say she did a breathtaking job would be an understatement. She is truly exceptional at her craft and I will absolutely use her over and over and over again!!!! read more

Love this space. Amanda is the BEST! She is so creative I can give her a very vague description and she runs with it and it always comes out looking gorgeous. read more

After moving to another state, finding a new hairstylist is definitely the most urgent task, right? Highland Park is lucky to have many places to keep you beautiful and I tried several. I keep coming back to Salon Vole because it feels most comfortable. They use Bumble and Bumble products which is absolutely a huge plus. Emily and Anthony are the stylists that worked on my hair and both are wonderful. I have been very satisfied with Anthony's balayage technique and whenever I need to get extra pretty for a special event I come here for a blowout or curls. They also offer make-up applications here but I have not tried that yet. read more

BEWARE To be welcomed by an AMAZING italian family! This is the place to go if you're a GUY or GIRL! I PERSONALLY GO TO Danny and have been for 10 + years wont be going anywhere else.. I actually drive 40 mins to get there from elmhurst! See you soon Danny! read more

I get a good haircut here. Tried a number of other local places and bay far the is he best one for me on the north shore. Many services here I don't use, hair dying especially seems to be at an upper level. Can be hard to get in so book early. read more

Maddie is incredible. She did an amazing job with my cut and highlights. She knew exactly what I was trying to achieve and exceeded expectations. I originally saw her when she was at the salon 8+ years ago and was so sad when she moved. I never found the right person all those years she was gone...I am ecstatic she's back! Please don't leave me again!! read more

Take two busy parents and twins with hair out of control (like an unmowed lawn), who desperately needed a haircut. Add in impossibly busy schedules and hellashish crabby mornings before school (lots of hair complaining), the loss of our regular stylist, the need to find a new one, and you get super horrible guilty parents. Did I mention one of my son's decided he wanted to completely change his look and chop his longish locks off? Yep, where the heck were we going to find a new stylist ready to deal with my kiddos' super impossible wavy curly hair! Problem #1) Find a new stylist...and pronto. Problem #2) Fine a new stylist...and pronto...who will give my boys the cut of their dreams. Solution: Meet Emily! Emily was sweet and confident, and took the dream picture my one son found online and transformed his hair into the photo and now he's over the moon! Now take twin #2 with longish wild and wavy thick locks, who only wanted a trim so he could keep growing it long. We knew it was going to be a challenge without a photo of some sort (because he thinks he has straight hair), and sadly we ended up with a cut that he's not in love with, so we need to go back and get some tweaks :-( We still love Emily, but I'm hoping we can figure out a cut that will work with his hair now. I have no doubt we will find a solution. I really love Salon Vole. They are independent, flexible with scheduling, and the staff seems to be absolutely lovely. We look forward to making this our new hair home for the boys. read more

Salon Vole - Hair Salons Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

My haircut was amazing! I am so picky about how my hair is done and Amanda did a great job. She cut it perfectly straight and listened to all of my concerns. I walked in with extremely long dead hair and expected to only get a few inches off but was pleasantly surprised and ended up getting a ton cut off. Only reason I didn't give five stars is because I personally wasn't a fan of the way my stylist styled my hair after cutting (she did a good job just not my style) and the ladies at the shampoo bowls weren't pleasant. read more

Lisa Kiser is the most outstanding hair colorist I have ever been to! She is more like a hair artist. In addition to this she is a fabulous hair stylist, her cuts are always exquisite. Lisa listens attentively to what you say and then gives her suggestions based on what you want. Ultimately she will always do exactly what you desire. She is so talented she delivers exactly what you envisioned every single time. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about both hair coloring and haircuts continuing her education throughout the year even though she has been doing this for decades. She is super current on top of all the latest trends and she is truly the best hair colorist and cutter that I have ever been to in 40 years of getting my hair cut and colored around the North shore. In addition to this she is one of the kindest, warmest people you will ever meet. read more

As a newcomer to any area knows all too well, finding a salon can be a ponderous task - especially without anyone to point you in a particular direction. However, I took a leap of faith when walking by Salon Volé and popped in to ask if they'd be willing to work with my travel-weary hair. The warm welcome I received when asking about their services was like nothing I've experienced, so I made my first appointment. After asking far too many questions (in person and over the phone), the team continued to be kind, generous, and thoughtful. I am incredibly grateful for Anthony, his talented stylist, and the kind-hearted young lady at the desk. Their superior customer service skills and hair expertise led to a great new look and, more importantly, a fantastic new feeling of (finally!) finding a home salon. Thank you, Anthony and Salon Volé, for everything. Can't wait to see you for my next appointment! (And for anyone seeking a new salon, I can't recommend Salon Volé enough!!) read more

I have been going to Maria for over 20 years. She listens to what I want and has always had my interests in mind when she makes suggestions. I have very curly hair and have gone through many stages (short, long, straightened, curly) and Maria can work through any to make my hair the best it can be. They also have good hair products for curly hair. Carmen, who washes hair etc, is always cheerful and does a nice job. They have a new place right next to City Park Grill. It is very nice and updated. If you are new to town, try it out. They are very professional without being uppity. read more

Lovely space, bright and clean. The young men who own this salon are brothers and their dad Tony, works with them. Tony did my hair years ago and I came back. Tony is a master. He gives a great cut and is superb at what he does- styles to your face. I was getting buzz cuts and he said I shd let it grow longer and more natural. Softer look. I've been getting lots of compliments and I am sold. I'm not leaving Tony again. read more

Often times people write to complain, but there aren't enough praise reviews. I want to say that if you want a fantastic cut or style you should go to Salon Vole and see Maddie. She is so great at knowing what you want. I recently had a haircut by Maddie and also got my wedding hair done by Maddie. Not only did I get a million compliments, but I had my hair up for about 14 hours, and not one bobby pin itched or hurt me. And after a night of dancing I had not one hair out of place! She's also a great conversationalist so when you go there you feel like she cares about what you want, and who you are. She even spent extra time making my hair look extra perfect and making sure all my bridesmaids were happy with their hair. I really can't say enough good things about this place and about Maddie. I am happy too because I've gone to the same salon for about the last 15 years, and I feel happy changing salons going to Maddie! read more

Excellent professionals. Friendly and accommodating. They know hair! New to town and found Anthony to be an excellent replacement for my old hair gal. They make you feel welcome and are very attentive. read more

I want to be clear that this review is specifically of my experience getting tape-in extensions at this salon. I had gotten a haircut here, and they did an excellent job. However, they are just not very experienced at tape-in extensions and I recommend going to someone who specializes them. I came in asking for help with my clip-in extensions and was highly recommended to do tape-ins. I had thought about tape ins before, so I was open to trying them. Between the ordering of hair and installation, it ended up costing me $700. This is a lot of money, but I would probably be ok with it if the extensions held up. However, mine kept falling out, the way they were installed made it almost impossible to wash my hair, so it constantly felt dirty, and since my hair naturally has frizz to it in the summer, I could never put product in it though it desperately needed it. Eventually, when a lock of hair slipped and the salon didn't have anyone on staff to help me that day, I went to a different salon. From going there, I learned that my hair really needs keratin before tape-ins, that the glue that was used on my tape ins at Vole put air pockets in my tape-in sandwiches, which is why they kept falling out, and that the installation was done way too high, so they were becoming visible. By the end of first 2 months I had had over 5 pieces of hair fall out! And I was so careful to avoid them in washing and brushing my hair started matting around them. I ended up having to spend another $400 to get the keratin treatment and proper installation at a new salon, but my hair finally looks like its supposed to. Again, I am sure Salon Vole is excellent at haircuts, dies, etc., but I feel like I spent $700 for my hair to look terrible for 2 months, so I would recommend going somewhere else for tape in extensions. read more

Salon Vole deserves more than 5 stars for their professionalism and talent. The ambiance is warm, friendly and Maria is the epitome of a true artist. Her intuition is spot on and she knows what works. My hair never looked or felt healthier or as attractive and the compliments keep coming. The ego boost was completely unexpected ~ Bravo Maria ! read more

Christine is an excellent stylist and colorist. She has done a wonderful job with my somewhat unruly, wavy hair. I receive compliments every day about my hair and I credit that to Christine. read more

I could easily write two separate reviews for Salon Vole. Usually, Emily is our stylist and she is great with the whole family. She understands what type of cut you are looking for and is warm and friendly. However, the front desk staff and some other stylists cannot be bothered by customers. They are cold, unconcerned, unfriendly, and quick to judge. My husband scheduled an appointment with a different stylist, as Emily was out of town, and he was met with icy silence. The stylist acted as though her time was being wasted, after which she insulted my husband because he looks young. We are amiable people and if you have a job in customer care, service, and/or satisfaction, you should be willing to speak kindly to every customer, even if they are not from highland park. Shame. read more

Maria is The Best Stylist. I have been so happy with her talent, skill and kindness. I have very fine hair and it's hard to manage and falling out due to my medication. Maria turned my brittle hair into a beautiful hair style. And, the extensions she used look fantastic. Nobody can tell they aren't my own hair. Go to Maria you will be so happy! read more

Salon Vole - Hair Salons Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

Before Covid and after the staff has been professional, clean, competent and creative. If you've not been back for hair cuts or color, get there. If you are looking for a change to a better salon, I can highly recommend them. Of course I am partial to Christine, but I have seen good things from other stylists, too read more

A great Salon. Very down to earth and not snooty like some. Very relaxing atmosphere. The stylists are all great. The owner Anthony is supurb and really is caring about his customers. I had an experience recently where the color did not turn out how I wanted. They bent over backwards to make it just how I wanted it and I love that. Best color I have had in years. They are great with kids too! read more

I went for color based on yelp reviews, I did color and had my hair blow dry. Color was great, the blow dry ok. I was surprised to pay for the blow dry as much as for color. I'll come back only for color next time. read more

I found this salon 2.5 year ago, after living in Chicago for 10 years and having easy access to stylish, modern salons with talented stylists, I found the transition to the salon situation in the suburbs less than awesome. I have been seeing Christine at Salon Vole since that time and have been very happy with her work. She both cuts and dyes my hair - and she does a great job at both of them. I'm pretty boring hair-wise and she has done an excellent job of very slowly pushing me outside of totally boring - and she's correct and I'm very happy with it each time. I highly recommend this salon and Christine! read more

I have been going to Maria for at least 10 years, and have known her since we were kids. She is amazing! I love my haircuts, blow outs, and highlights. You can really trust her to make you look your best... Thanks Maria! read more
