My stylist is Gina. I've been going to Gine for cuts and color for over 20 years. She has never given me bad advice when I'm looking to ret something new. Scissors Edge is a fantastic salon. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. read more

Vivian is fantastic! I am so happy with my cut and she is the sweetest person on top of it--I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family. Thank you! read more

This review is long overdue but I highly recommend Dyana for highlights (specifically those with blonde hair!). Although she is brunette she specializes in blondes - and always gives me such a natural look. I live in the city and still make the trek back to the burbs to see her. She really goes out of her way each time to make me look and feel great. Although she is super busy I never get that "rushed" feeling you often get at a salon. She is a gem of a hairdresser and would highly recommend her to all my blondies out there! This 5 star rating is specifically for her :) read more

Scissors Edge - One of my highlighting sessions for a blonder look! :) - A woman with long blonde hair is taking a selfie indoors, with her face obscured by a smiling emoji. - Hair Salons Near Me - Winnetka, Illinois

Diana is an absolute wizard!! She was able to step in and transform my super damaged hair (caused by another salon)!! She added tape in hair extensions and I've never been happier with my hair ever. It looks and feels so natural. The whole salon makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely be a customer for life!! Thanks again Diana! read more

I have been a huge fan of Dyana's for almost 10 years and love that she's at Scissors Edge. She always gives the best cuts, super precise, and clean from my bob to creating movement with length. Her color is also second to none. She is always up on the latest trends and long lasting color. Her updos and styling are second to none as well. If you're looking for a new stylist she's amazing! read more

She has come to know my hair super well so she always knows what to suggest when I'm feeling adventurous. Melina takes her time and makes sure you are totally satisfied with your hair before you leave. Oh, and they have the BEST products on sale too! You'll never be dissatisfied with scissors edge. read more

Been going here for years! Love everything about this salon. Inna and April do amazing work!

The worst and most unprofessional not polite front person. Two weeks ago I happened to be in Winnetka and needed a haircut. I got an appointment fairly fast. My haircut was fine but does not justify the price compared to what I get elsewhere. Worst of all the front person. She barely looks at you and wanted to charge you $40. My hair stylist told her "no the haircut is $36" but she anyways charged my card $40 without giving a s***. Worst of all she wrote $36 in her log book and in front of my eyes. Careless. Stay away don't go there... Unless you want to be treated like this! Boja! read more

Dyana is The Best , loving my hair Thank you for making my birthday special Shelly , you are the most amazing person I ever met ! Your team is incredible and very talented people Thank you all for making my Birthday Special read more

Scissors Edge - Dyana is The Best , loving my hair Thank you for making my Birthday Special - Hair Salons Near Me - Winnetka, Illinois

Best hair cuts in Chicagoland area! I was greeted by Lana at the receptionist desk who led me to a quick and talkative shampoo with Kayla. The owner, Shelly, was also very nice and attentive, and I was taken care of by Gina! Gina was very nice and we carried a great conversation, without allowing it to distract from my haircut. Overall a great haircut and I will most definitely come back! (Side note, they offer a student discount!) read more

Scissors Edge is a Winnetka icon. The salon itself is clean and well kept. The customer service is incredible from Courtney at the front desk, to KP who does my hair! KP always does an amazing job, my cuts/color/balayage always come out perfect. The owner Shelly is always warm and welcoming. I cannot say enough about how great this salon is! read more

Gloria did a fantastic job on braiding my daughter's hair for a special event. She did it very quickly! Awesome job! read more

Scissors Edge - Hair Salons Near Me - Winnetka, Illinois

I've been here half a dozen times in my life... they are 0/6. I don't mind spending solid money for a haircut, but I'll never set foot in here again. This place is an explosion of low-cut shirts, hairspray, and screaming women and children. I don't like passing this place in the Laundry Mall, for fear of even potentially having my hair (or more likely my throat or ear) cut. For the little "me" time I have during the week, I don't want it wasted here, getting a horrible haircut. read more

My entire family got our hair cut here for many years, until I complained loudly enough to get a new stylist. The rest of my family ended up following suit. I feel badly giving Scissors Edge a bad review, mostly because the salon is clean and well kept up, and the people who worked there are genuinely nice. However, our stylist just didn't know how to give a good haircut. I ended up with the same long, unkempt, unstyled mane for years because it seemed like all the stylist was capable of was chopping inches off of the back. They also didn't really seem to listen very well to our wants, as one time my mom asked for a new style and brought in a picture, and our stylist cut maybe two layers in it instead of doing the full cut. When my mom asked why she hadn't changed it our stylist replied that she was afraid my mom wouldn't like it. Of course, that would be my mom's problem for picking the style, not the stylist's fault! Terminating our relationship with the stylist was awkward too. At some point upon moving on to other salons, our now former stylist called our home and asked why we hadn't made any appointments. Even though she'd been cutting our hair for years, it still made for a very awkward, not very professional conversation. I'd only recommend someone go here if they want a very basic style, but you can probably get the same easy style done for half the price at a Super Cuts franchise. Sorry Scissors Edge, as much as I want to like your posh salon, your cuts just don't make the grade. read more

First off I want to say what a nice shop this is. From the friendly ladies and girls who work here, to the comforting surroundings. I have had a long relationship with Scissors Edge. I first started getting my haircut from Shelly{owner} around 1976. I have never had anything but the finest haircut. This place is professional, they don't mess around, I see the stylists treating all customers with respect, they ask questions and take suggestions. There is hot coffee and snacks and generally it's just a nice place to be. If you don't get the cut you are looking for, I'm suggesting that you have not taken an active interest in what is being done. I don't write a ton of reviews on Yelp, but I felt after my recent experience, I needed to share. I had not been to SE for a cut in over a year, I only go once or twice a year. The reason it had been so long was due to serious illness. My hair looked like crap recently, so I finally got around to visiting Shelly and her quaint shop. In no time I was feeling human again with a haircut that was tailored to me. Only had one haircut somewhere else in the last 37 years. I can tell you It was right back to SE. I'm happy to have something in my life that stays good all these years, because not much does. I treasure this place! Getting a great haircut is not a given by any means, so when a place, a person who does it as good as Scissors Edge, you hold on tight. Go here, give them a chance, be articulate you won't be sorry. Complaining afterword does nothing be active know what you want, that makes a huge difference not just here but in life. Thanks Shelly, for all the great years LOVE YOU Glenn read more

My boyfriend went in for a haircut and we were not pleased with the results. We probably will not be back also it was very crowded and we did not feel comfortable with the virus and all. read more

My family and I have been getting our hair done here for the past 5 years. I'm pretty particular about my hair, and I feel great coming in because all of the stylists really listen to you and exactly what you are looking for. From cut to color to blowouts, I've always been extremely happy with the results. The staff and products here are top notch, and the owner goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. I tend to be a last minute kinda girl, and they always find a way to fit me in! read more

I went to Scissors Edge for a cut and a blowout with Gina, who did an excellent job and was very friendly and great at conversation. The salon gives you a warm welcome and provides a great experience. The staff is friendly and all smiles, and the overall quality of the salon is top notch with clean stations and good sanitization. Definitely recommend and would come back here. read more

Best color and cut by Diana at sisters edge. So worth going to a certified Master colorist. I felt like she was artistic and knew what she was doing. Diana is always giving good advice. Thanks diana for always making me feel good. Hair is always on point. read more

Best place for a color, cut, style or getting your eyebrows threaded and hennaed. Been coming here for a long time. I appreciate that they listen and that they always give wonderful suggestions. read more

I love Scissors Edge. Donna has been doing my hair for years and I always leave with the perfect cut and color! I commute all the way from downtown every time I need my hair done because I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it. Excellent salon and great people! read more

I made an appointment at Scissors Edge Salon after having a botched balayage done somewhere else. The color was all wrong and it fried my hair. Dyana talked to me about my options to fix my hair and was honest about what could be done and what couldn't be done yet. She brought my hair back to life and it looks better than ever! I highly recommend Scissors Edge, of course because of my experience with Dyana, but also because of their professional and friendly staff, and reasonable prices. read more

I had such a great experience with Dyana. She was so cute; we had a nice time chatting. Also, she did a phenomenal job on my color and cut. Dyana knew all of the latest styles and color techniques. I am very happy read more

I got my hair cut with Crystal just yesterday and I am SO happy with it. I had a nightmare experience at a salon on division that I went to that shall remain unnamed - but Crystal really listened to what I wanted and what type of lifestyle I lead to give me the perfect cut. Also, I got my eyebrows waxed with Angela and am EXTREMELY happy with them. I love this place ! read more

Donna gave me a great cut and was easy to work with. She asked good questions and understood what would be best for me. This is a great salon! read more

Karol is the absolute best! I came in with dead hair expecting to have to cut it all off and she completely saved it. She's an expert at Keratin treatments, and does overall wonders to my hair. Never going to anyone else but her! read more

Scissors Edge is super convenient, easy to get an appointment and reasonably priced. Larissa does wonders with short hairstyles! I've been going there for 4+ years, and I really appreciate her recommendations (through my red, brunette and blonde phases). She keeps me looking my best. Yes, the place can be loud and they serve lots of kids and men - so it's more a full-service salon than a relaxing spa environment. Works for me! read more

Great staff and always easy to schedule an appointment. I went to a few salons before calling this one home due to cut and coloring professionalism. If you're looking for a change and family friendly environment then I highly recommend Scissors Edgar and to see Ina by appointment. read more

All I have to say is WOW. You must go see Ina she is simply the best. Very friendly from the time I walk into the salon till the time I left. I could not be more pleased with the services. Ina truly does amazing work, Thank you again scissors edge and thank you Ina for doing such great work. Highly recommended read more

Growing up I used to come to this place whenever the hair got out of control. Ike was always there to give me the "New Trier". Ike has moved on to Florida, but the women who remain are both beautiful and talented. I now live in the city and its more convenient to get my haircut down there, but this place is the place to go if you need a trim. The prices are a bit high, but the service is always friendly. read more

I've been getting my hair cut and colored by Rita here. She is a talented hair stylist and pleasant to talk with. I always have a great cut n color when I leave the salon. read more

Thick, fine, dense hair ? Nancy does a great job on my daughter's jungle hair. I'd give Nancy 4 solid stars, losing only one star for consistency. For the overall establishment, Scissor's Edge is fine, solid 3 (plus?) stars. First time visitor? Think efficiency, high volume - not a lot of room to wait, lots of activity right in front of you. Expect to see lots of moms taking kids for haircuts. Mild managed chaos at check-in/check-out. Prices seem in line with the experience - but the whole "we don't put tips on credit cards" stuff I find really annoying and potentially inconvenient and embarrassing when short of actual bills. read more

I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. Although I have gotten my hair cut elsewhere, between going away for College and moving to California for a few years, it was bound to happen, but I always kept coming back, to the point where I would schedule trips home around when I needed my next hair cut! Andy is the best, and always does a great job, and Elizabeth is the best colorist I have ever been to. Shelly did my hair for a wedding and did an amazing job. Everyone gets a bad haircut once in a while, but I can honestly say that I have never had that experience here. From fixing horrible haircuts, to managing to get my hair back to it's normal color after a bad at-home dye job, they have always saved the day and made me look great! read more

Seriously I could not be happier! Best place ever. I came in after getting what was a horrible gone wrong ombré and I was so embarrassed by it. From the minute I walked in the door I felt relaxed. The salon is gorgeous. The girl that checked me in was so sweet. I waited only for 5 min (then again I was early for my appointment) and then I was greet by Jennifer. SHE IS PHENOMENAL! She gave me her honest opinion made my hair healthy again and was really nice. She answered all of the questions I had and walked me through each step. They are not as expensive as I thought but even if they were they would be worth every dime. Can't wait to come back! read more

Jennifer is the best! She is an expert colorist and super friendly! If you are looking for a new stylist, you should absolutely book with her! read more

I cant say enough great things about Scissors Edge. Ina, Shelly and the front desk staff were wonderful to work with as I planned my appointments around my wedding and my schedule changed. I have been getting my hair cut here for a few years, and always walk away happy. Ina was able to fit me for clip in extensions and took the time to teach me until I felt comfortable doing it on my own. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a salon to call home! read more

We were looking for a neat haircut for my son, and described that we were looking for a standard shorter sides, longer bangs style. The stylist did not even care to make his hair look natural, and left it with an odd style. When we left, it did not look as bad with all the hair product, but as soon as he washed his hair his haircut looked like a bob from the '70s. For the price of over $30, we had to go to a different salon the next day to fix it. Do not recommend for boy haircuts. read more

Do not, I repeat, do not go to Rita. She butchered both my sons' hair. On one, she cut his sideburns completely off, when clearly that was not the look he was going for. Overpriced and generally low quality haircuts. I do not recommend it. read more
