I have been going to see Essie since 2020 ? I went on a Groupon and loved the experience. The stylists are super knowledgable and personable. They go to advanced seminars to stay up to date. After a thorough consultation the fun begins. They have a closed shampoo room, with lowered lighting, soothing music, aromatherapy and a wonderful scalp massage. The hair color for my MIL was always perfect - a strawberry blonde. For myself I am natural white and grey. I occasionally get some 'color' on my white- I have done blue, pink, lavender and most recently a dark purple. Essie always works with me of if I want to let my hair grow out or when I want it all cut off. read more

I had the most wonderful experience at The Lather Lounge. I was greeted by Victoria with a big smile and warm welcome. She asked about the cut that I wanted, then we went into a softly lit room where she washed my hair and gave me a marvelous neck rub. Heavenly. Then a small head massage to finish it off. My cut was wonderful--so professional. I can even do my hair myself. All in all it was a great experience. read more

They pampered me at the last minute for my birthday. I saw Zac and Marilyn and they were the kindest, most comforting people I've ever met. I cannot wait to return! read more

I had a great experience at the Lather Lounge. Ezzie was my stylists and she did a great job with shampoo and cut. I'm really happy. The salon is located in what seems to be a medical park so I passed it a few times. Once I did find it, parking was easy. On a Wednesday afternoon I was the only client and Ezzie was the only stylist. Overall, a good value for the service provided. read more

I always hesitate when it comes to cutting my hair, I've had so many bad experiences. But this place is gorgeous inside. The staff is sweet as pie and my hair came out spectacularly. read more

I was so shocked. I had heard such good things about this place. Got a 4 star treatment with a 1 star hair cut through Groupon. My stylist evidently got sidetracked when she was cutting and my right side ended up way shorter than my left but she used product so that I would not notice. The LEAST she could have done was tell me so that she could have matched the left side to the right. I was so upset....Never again!! read more

I found this place on Groupon.... needless to say I found my new salon! Lynn was fantastic and listened to me and what I wanted to do. I am somebody who read reviews and the only negative reviews I saw on the leather lounge were a couple directed at the stylist named David. I was curious to see who this big bad guy was. When I saw David today he was working with a very elderly female he couldn't of been more gentle and loving to her. When she went to leave he even took her arm and helped her out. So all I can say about the entire staff is they are very professional and polite. I finally got the hair color I have been trying to get for months now! Thank you!!! read more

The Lather LoungeHair Studio - Love my 3 shades of red! - Hair Salons Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Hailey took my Auburn hair and side bangs and updated them to a lovely dark plum color with cute wispy full bangs. They even offer complimentary wine! The service, level of attention paid to the customer, quality of the color, and the spa vibe of the place have definitely made it my new favorite salon. I will be back for Hailey to work her magic once again in about 8 weeks read more

We got our hair and makeup done for a wedding at Lather Lounge. The girls were sooo friendly and fun and everyone turned out looking beautiful. read more

Originally, I was a lil wary about purchasing a Groupon for hair service in Indiana, since I'm so used to going to Chicago, and who knew Groupon offer hair service , but Lather Lounge was absolute wonderful. Angel was my stylist on 2/7/19, and she was great! She really took the time to explain the way she does the highlights, the toner options, and the length of time remaining during the process. I love that, and no one likes to sit there and just wait and wonder how long the process was gonna be. I asked for ashy blonde highlights, and this girl did it, and I was soooo pleased! I got a highlight, cut, and style with my package. I also chose to do the complimentary facial steam, eye relaxer, and hand massage. That was very surprising, and different than Chicago. Best part is that I finally found a hair location that close to home, so no more driving an hour in to Chicago! The atmosphere is reAlly nice too. They play relaxing old school music, and even offer refreshments. They close at 7pm on weekdays, but Angel worked with me until past closing time, and was an absolute doll. The place is a bit tricky to find, but it's in the huge brown building with plenty of parking spots. Just a friendly reminder, they can't process tips on credit cards so bring in cash. I love the place, and you got a repeat customer definitely! read more

Loved the experience! The service was great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Lynn is fantastic. She has a ton of experience and I loved the way my hair turned out. She answered all my questions and she made sure my hair came out the way I wanted it. I already booked a follow up appointment. I definitely recommend coming here. Just make sure to bring cash for tips since their system doesn't let you add it on. read more

Zoe did a great job on my highlights. I have gotten multiple compliments on them, so I know it isn't just my opinion! She is really good at choosing and applying it, and the results were great. Highly recommend! read more

This was my second experience at The Lather Lounge, and just like the first time, it was amazing! Zac is wonderful! He's funny, he's talented, and his scalp/neck massage is to die for. He took his time with my hair (it was a HUGE transition that I was going for today.... nearly a foot in length was taken off) and made sure he consulted me at every single step to ensure my satisfaction. I love it!! The salon itself is warm and inviting, the staff is friendly, it's clean and the aromatherapy/washing station nearly put me to sleep from being so relaxed. Who knew you could get such an experience from Groupon!! I'm telling you, GO SEE ZAC!!!! You won't regret it. I've officially found my stylist for life. read more

The Groupon brought me in and I'm totally blown away! Loved the service and will be back, even though I live an hour away!!

Love the Lather Lounge!!! Just had the signature facial at their new derma lounge- AMAZING. Highly recommend Kasandra!

Beyond satisfied! Seriously, I haven't been this happy about a haircut in years. Normally, hairstylist are scared to cut my hair. I have uber thick, long, wavy/curly hair, unruly hair. I walked in and was cheerfully greeted. There was only one stylist working on someone else and I had to wait. Initially, I was a bit put off by this but boy, let me tell you, the service was exceptional and that wait period was no longer on my radar. Melissa was my stylist. She had zero concerns about cutting my hair. Very friendly but not overly talkative; just the right amount of interaction. Melissa probably chopped off about 8-10inches and I loved it! I normally don't schedule a next appointment because I'm typically not wowed by my haircut, but not today, I scheduled my next hair appointment. The extra pampering, scented oils, scalp massage, and hand massage was a bonus! read more

I purchased a groupon for haircut, deep condition, style. The salon is beautiful. My stylist, Melissa, was very informative and professional. She listened to my needs and delivered exactly what I wanted. The shampoo and deep condition was to dye for. Melissa massaged my scalp, neck, shoulders, arms, and hands during the deep conditioning process. The treatment included facial steam with aromatherapy. I was a little nervous about how she blow dried my hair, but she took her time when she straightened my hair. The hair cut was excellent. I was concerned about keeping length, but she did not chop off my hair. Melissa left my hair silky straight. I will definitely come back again. One of the best salon experiences I have ever had. The only reason why I'm not giving this five stars is because my hair was not exactly styled the way I like. I'll still have to put some curls in my hair myself. read more

See all

I am so sorry to have to write a bad review but I felt compelled. I first visited Lather Lounge using a Groupon and it was a great experience. However, I won't be returning after today. I made an appointment for my daughter to get a cut and color. I was immediately put off by the 45 minute wait she experienced before ever having a thing done. Why did I make an appointment to wait almost an hour? And then? The only time the hairstylist I paid more for (they have a pay grade based on level) worked with her was for the cut only. Someone else washed her hair and someone else styled it at the end. My daughter said it felt like they were burning her scalp during the blow drying and her neck hurt during the washing. We won't be returning to this establishment and I am sad because my first experience was so good that I thought I found a go to. I guess not. read more

I loved my haircut and will definitely be back.The atmosphere was great and the scalp massage felt like I died and went to heaven.LOL David was nice and my experience was very pleasant! read more

The staff was very helpful and friendly. David (my stylist) was amazing and worked wonders with my hair. This was my first time here since I'm new to the area, but I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning to see David when I'm due for another haircut. read more

I have been going to lather lounge for a few years now. I have always had a great experience and love this salon. My grandmother and my cousin also go here. We are all regulars and get great service. Veronica is absolutely wonderful; she listens and always does such a great job. When I get my shampoo and conditioning always relaxed and done very well. Veronica is the only hairdresser I go too since I started going here and she is the best hairdresser I have ever had. I will always be going here even if I move out of state I will find a way to go back and have her do my hair this is how much I love this salon. read more

After being recommended by a friend, I found a groupon for cut, style, and deep conditioning treatment. This place took all the stress out of starting at a new salon. It's a very small salon, 4 chairs, 2 sinks and not much of a waiting area. The music was the slower side of classic rock. Upon arrival you are greeted and offered a beverage, then they show you the menu of available conditioning treatments and aromatherapy scents. Then, when they are ready, they call you in to the shampoo area. Now starting with the wash, soooo relaxing. Scalp and neck massage followed by a steam towel facial, aroma therapy and hand massage. Then onto the stylist chair. My stylist was Melissa, and she was awesome. She took the time to all questions, learn my history and provide a full consultation before reaching for the scissors. We came up with a plan and she got to work. The result was a cute sassy cut that I am very pleased with. She recommended some styling products to help achieve the new look. I plan to make this my permanent salon. In today's hurry hurry world it is nice to feel pampered and appreciated without breaking the bank. read more

Local salon that is clean, friendly and reasonably priced. Angel was my stylist and she did a great job with the cut and color. She recommended highlights and they turned out beautifully. read more

I had David as my stylist also I used the Groupon other reviewers gave him poor reviews I thought he was great and he made me smile. He did a wonderful job on my hair and made me feel very confident. Also I'd like to state that I had 2 children with me one who is 1 the other 4 and they were treated very well the associates helped entertain them while I was getting my hair cut. read more

This was my second time at this salon and both times I got Car Esmeralda as my stylist. She did an awesome job and was very friendly. This is going to be my favourite to-go salon in future. Thanks Car for giving me a great look. read more

Not a better salon in the area. All the stylists make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk in the door. Also, one of the few salons that don't gossip. You don't hear any whispering about any clients. True professionals. Sexy cuts, awesome color. I have been going to Lynn for at least 3 years and have had the perfect cut and color each time. True relaxation. You are really missing looking your best if you don't try this salon! read more

The best Salon experience I have ever had was at The Lather Lounge. The owner and her staff are friendly and knowledgeable and take quite a bit of time asking questions about what you want and expect from your color and cut. I was in desperate need of a hair cut as I am growing out a shorter hair style and I was very nervous to trust someone new. I was NOT disappointed. Lynn did not cut my length, she evened out my hair and made it possible for me to wear it down nicely while I grow it out to a longer style. She gave me some beautiful high and low lights with color perfect for my skin tone. WIth so many choices of complimentary services, I asked her to pick the best ones for me. Included are different choices of shampoo for rinsing out your hair color, aromatherapy session for your face (so nice!), choice of hand, scalp, neck massage and more. Can't remember them all. I loved the way she styled my hair. If only I could do it myself. Lynn told me that I could come back and she would help me learn how to style it the way she did. I walked away feeling like it was money well spent and I got what I asked for and MUCH more. This salon has an open fully stocked "Color Bar" which is really cool and plenty of product. Well worth checking out. I have found my new "hair home"!! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I used a Groupon that included a haircut, style, and deep conditioner treatment and I loved all three of these services. The showering my hair part was so relaxing especially with the scalp and hand massage and the essential oils. Lynn made me feel like I was at the spa!! She gave me the hair cut I wanted, addressing my curly hair needs, and blow dried my hair so perfectly that I received many compliments for it. Will be back! read more

I recently purchased a groupon for a haircut , deep conditioning and partial highlights for a phenomenal price. My experience was great! My stylist was David and he was everything and more. His consultation was exactly what I was looking for. And to the shampoo bowl..... What an amazing experience. Probably one of the best head and neck massages I've had at a hair salon. He listened to what I wanted and added his expertise and my hair turned out beautiful . I would definitely go back to David with out a groupon. He is worth every dollar. Joce D read more

This place is so awesome! It is a great place to take time for yourself. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Experienced many of their services and loved them all. They even serve wine and cookies!n read more

David has been cutting my hair for a few years. He is the best. What D.L. yelped is absurd. To think that a gay man has to remain silent at a homophobic remark is ancient history D.L. The Lather Lounge is a very friendly professional shop with people I have come to know and like very much. D.L. I think you have problems when you attack someone who is a very sweet and sensitive man. Go elsewhere and take your attitude with you. read more

I am new to this salon and I saw David for a cut and color. I was very particular in how I wanted my hair to be cut and have had problems getting it done the way I want it. David cut it perfectly! He totally understood my fine hair! The salon itself was very comfortable and had a relaxed vibe. Everyone was very friendly. You get to choose between two extras during the shampoo process and I picked a scalp massage and hand moisturizing. I thoroughly enjoyed both! So happy to find The Lather Lounge and David! read more

This place is great! I went here with the groupon for haircut, deep condition, and style. David was my stylist, and he was very welcoming, kind, and really listened to what kind of cut I wanted. The hair wash with massage was very relaxing, and David did an awesome job cutting and styling my typically frizzy hair so that it was smooth and silky. I would definitely recommend him and this salon! read more

First time at this salon yesterday for a cut. Quaint little inconspicuous place but very charming inside. I felt very pampered. My stylist, Lynn, was professional and friendly. I am very happy this morning with my cut. Pricing was reasonable. read more

I give this review 1 star because two of the girls seemed genuinely concerned with my experience but the damage had already been done. I had set an appointment using a Groupon since I had just moved to the area and wasnt familiar with any of the salons. Now mind you i was wanting my cut and color done for my wedding anniversary so this meant a lot which I told my stylist. Well I got to my appointment and he was behind, fine. Well I sat for almost 30 minutes before he got to me. He gets to me we go over color which I was unsure of and what I wanted for a cut. While my dye was sitting he was still working on the previous client. After my shampoo and conditioner was rinsed I then sat for a good 10 minutes with wet hair as he finished his previous client having a fun leisurely time while I sat cold. Finally when he got to me my hair cut was rushed and when I got home and brushed it straight found out my cut wasn't what I showed him and nothing was really done. My time and look was compromised because he was to busy chit chatting and taking his time with his last client and since I was his last client mine was rushed. While I was there I mentioned I didn't like the color and boy did he get defensive saying well this is what we discussed. I could see he was getting agitated with me so I tried to just let it go. Well two very nice women there I think one was Veronica and the other was Katie were concerned about why I didn't like it and I mentioned I thought the color was going to be darker. My stylist again chimed in and said we discussed the color in detail this is what we discussed. My thought is why are you arguing now I feel uncomfortable. The other women wanted to fix it but I was already upset with his attitude so I said don't worry about it its fine and they insisted but I was still not wanting to because at that point my experience was ruined and my look for my anniversary was ruined as well. When I said don't worry about trying to make it better at this point I never want to come back to this salon my lovely (and I use that word with sarcasm) stylist replied with you can't make everyone happy... yeah to my face he said this. So if you read my entire review and experience do not I repeat do not go there or if you do, do not schedule with David. Also if you get a Groupon make sure you get everything that says it includes because I didn't. read more

Awesome stylists, beautiful quaint salon where you are pampered and taken care of. Wonderful experience!!! Not just for women, kids and men welcome!!! read more

The salon is beautiful. Everybody in the salon is very helpful and very nice. I have purchased a groupon and I have to say I was a little nervous going in to get my haircut, deep conditioning and partial highlights. My stylists name was David, what a great guy!!! The deep conditioning was to die for, the scalp massage, neck massage and hand massage was soo relaxing. Did I mention aroma therapy? what a great combo that was. On top of the highlights I also gotten a full color. The color, the cut and the style was fantastic. I will definitely come back. It is very hard to find that place that will provide you with a great service and a place where you can feel totally comfortable, Lather Lounge is exactly what I was looking for. read more

Lynn and her team of stylists are amazing! I always get stylish cuts and tons of compliments on my hair all the time. I have curly hair and Lynn always manages to give me a cut that works both straight and curly. Very comfortable and inviting environment. Give them a try and you won't want to go anywhere else :) read more

Tucked away in a strip of businesses on Calumet Ave., with no advertising due to town codes, it's easy to overlook this respectable salon. What I like about Lather Lounge, is that it has all the high-end character and quality, with none of the pretentiousness. Lynn, the owner, teaches, mentors, competes, and basically stays on top of style. She is also a benefactor to those in need and takes nothing for granted. Most important, though, is you will get a great cut, style, and even a neck and hand massage, and leave the salon wishing you had a party lined up to show off your look! Ariel, my stylist, is a young, talented go-getter - very bright and very good at what she does. She knows hair from the inside out! Worth it! read more

I love Lynn and all the team at The Lather Lounge! I love that I can sit down and enjoy the entire experience and walk out with a great cut and amazing color! I have not let anyone but Lynn do my hair for the past 7 years! read more
