Truly the BEST haircut I've gotten in 10 years in this city. I've been to lots of different salons looking for a stylist who excels in CUTTING skills and I have finally found Steph! I have naturally wavy hair with a deep chocolate color (I know, #blessed). So what I look for in a stylist is someone who is interested in and working on their cutting skills. I know hair color is the big thing, and I understand they make more money on that so I get it! But it annoys me when someone tries to convince me my own natural hair is anything other than fabulous to sell more. Steph did not do that! She is a highly skilled professional who does great color (I've seen her work) but also cares about the cut! She worked perfectly with the natural texture of my hair so every lock falls perfectly into place with minimal styling. I'm in awe! I'm writing this post now 3+ weeks after the fact because it is still incredible. I'm getting compliments EVERY DAY, even when it's up in a pony! Go see Steph and get the cut of your life!

Literally cannot say enough about the talents of every single stylist who works here. Pretty sure I have been to them all. Special shoutouts to Jess and Ali for cut and color. Ali is also an insanely talented aesthetician and I have revived many a wax from her. I won't go to any other salon in Milwaukee. Not only is the quality amazing but The establishment vibe is stellar. It's so diverse the ages and customers there are not just a bunch of north shore Nancy's but people of all ages who love aveda and top notch self care. Just a lot of beautiful hair going on follow them on insta too for great inspiration. See below for a before and after pic I have.

Big change from my usual-- dark dark brown. Haven't seen my hair this color ever but loving the change.

Do you do perms?

Sorry, no we don’t.

How long would it take to dye a peekaboo hair style that only the back is dyed so only half of it is dyed and how much would it be?

Great questions! With very specific color like you are requesting, I recommend calling us to book a complementary consultation. 414-963-4300 thank you!

I recently received a clear skin facial from Meg and was blown away by her above and beyond…read moreservice! For started, she is one of the most genuine, upbeat and warm people I've ever met. I felt welcome and at ease right when I stepped in to her space. I found her spa blue treatment room to be very comfortable and relaxing. I assumed my appt would be about an hour, but she took the first 20-30 min to have a consult to really hear my skin concerns/needs. Once my facial started, I could immediately tell she is on a different level of expertise than any aesthetician I've seen around here. She is SMART, and an individual truly invested in continued learning within her field. She was full of knowledge and offered informative insights into skincare and products for the duration of my treatment. She uses the Face Reality line which is pregnancy safe and highly effective at a very fair price point. My skin felt and looked hydrated and plump after my facial. I cannot wait to go back! One thing I loved is she's no frills when recommending products - so often you feel pressured to buy things or mislead on what products are right for you, but I felt completely confident in her recommendations. The one caveat of this all is that she is very popular so she books out! Get on that calendar now, readers :)!

The salon itself looks beautiful -- very clean, neat, and well put together. However, my experience with the service was disappointing. When I walked in, the receptionist (Naomi) did not greet me. She saw me and walked away from the front desk -- I'm not sure if she realized I was there or not, but I ended up standing there for about 10 minutes. When she returned, she simply asked for my name and told me to wash my hands and pick a color. There was no "good morning" or welcoming attitude, and she seemed uninterested and disengaged. Even after I chose my color, she stayed on her phone while I waited to be seated. Once I was seated, Throughout my pedicure, several staff members were speaking loudly among themselves In spanish, which made the environment feel less relaxing and more unprofessional. What made the experience especially upsetting was that the technician working on me made comments about my feet smelling and about my legs being fat In Spanish to another technician, They both laughed, and mind you I could Understand it.. which I found extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. I was honestly shocked and didn't know how to respond in the moment. Overall, while the salon looks great, the customer service and professionalism I experienced were not acceptable. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as no customer should feel uncomfortable or disrespected during their visit.

I've been wanting to get a chemical peel for sometime now, and decided to give it a try here. For those who don't know, a chemical peel facial essentially removes layers of skin to help improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne, scars, uneven skin tone... all things my skin is in need of. A whole skin resurfacing, if you will. I saw Riley, who was a new-to-me aesthetician, and I really enjoyed her! She did a fantastic job of walking me through the entire process of a chemical peel. From the facial procedure itself, so what after steps will look like, and how to care for my skin during all of it. Apparently your skin can tingle and burn to a degree while getting this done, as they are using some stronger acid blends working to enhance the skin clarity. I personally didn't feel much burning sensation at all, but Riley is there with a fan to help cool the process. The peel application didn't take more than 25/30 minutes (which surprised me), but I was in and out. With chemical peels, it's expected that your skin will literally "shed" over the course of a week or so, allowing new skin cell turnover and the smoother skin below to surface. I'm on day four since I had this done and today is the first day I'm really started to see the shedding. Is it cute? No. But is it working? Absolutely. My skin is even purging a bit, which just proves the treatment it working really deep, pulling out crap, dirt, bacteria, etc. I've also already noticed a difference in texture, as it's looking smoother. I'll plan to go back in 4 or 5 weeks for another peel treatment, as recommended to meet my goals of really healing my skin from the acne scarring, poor texture, and hyperpigmentation. For once I'm excited about results!!

I had a great stylist at another place, but when she moved away, I knew I had to give Stone Fox a proper try. I remembered Jackie as being incredibly friendly and talented, but since she wasn't taking new clients, was referred to Alexis. Alexis is fantastic. Easy to talk to and she gave me just the haircut I was looking for. I get a really nice family vibe from Stone Fox. They all seem to get along but also treat their customers like family - in a good way! I love that their products are all natural and organic. I have no problem getting appointments quickly and at times that work for me. They have a super convenient parking lot, too, which is AWESOME for the East Side. I highly recommend this place and Alexis, in particular.

I had had a bad experience previously with another stylist who razored my ends to hell, and Sarah said that we would work together to get my hair back to where it should be. And my cut was exactly what I wanted even though I had to go a bit shorter than I would have liked (to get rid of the bad razoring). Sarah and I talked through everything to try to determine what was best for me and my hair - I was a little nervous seeing someone new, but she was very patient with me and took the time that was necessary to make sure I was happy with everything. The brand of hair products that SF carries is amazing. Similar to Aveda, in that they're natural and mostly organic, but they do so much more for my hair than Aveda ever could (and one of the shampoo/conditioner types smells like Thin Mints. THIN MINTS, people). I should probably mention that everyone at SF is super friendly, and that I've always had good interactions with everyone at the salon. I'm glad I made the switch!
