I walk by this place all the time, and I always think "I should stop in"... well I finally did and I couldn't be more pleased. The owner, Anthony, walked me through his suggestions and listened to mine, and honestly I came out with one of the greatest hair cuts I could ask for. I had long hair mid-back, and wanted to keep length but have more style to it. I got long layers and I feel like my hair is thicker, and honestly still as long as I wanted it. This location has been around since 1990, and his prior location was another decade or so. I'd like to think that he is definitely doing something right! The cut itself was a bit higher in price than I normally pay, but I appreciate that he takes value in his work and truly don't mind paying for a better haircut and better service. They give you the best treatment, and explain step by step what is going on. I left with a smile on my face, and a delicious little homemade cookie in my hand (courtesy of Anthony). THANK YOU SO MUCH ANTHONY! See you in a couple months! read more

Anthony Peter Hair Salon - Such an amazing cut. Thank you Anthony! - Hair Salons Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Amanda is the best ! She was soo professional and my hair looks amazing she's my new go to girl!

I went in for a bang trim that ended up being the catalyst that sent me down an emotional spiral for 3 whole hours! No, if it's still unclear--the trim was not good! I didn't go in with a photo of Megan Fox or Amanda Seyfried because I secretly wanted to have their face. No, I showed the hair stylist a literal photo of myself, and I came out looking like a drug addict. I wanted Zooey Deschanel bangs and got Joan Jett instead. I don't want to reveal my identity, but I've attached a photo of my eyes after crying for 3 straight hours. And I was really attached to my haircut because it was a symbol of getting over my newfound freedom after a shitty breakup, and now I'm back to square one! read more

Anthony Peter Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I cannot get over how horrible my hair cut is! It's a mullet mixed with just awful blunt framing around my face. There are even a few random long chucks shooting out that are mixed into it to just add to the horrible cut. I asked for a 1/2 inch trim to hold me over until I could see my normal stylist. I'm new to the area and thought I'd try a local place. It was a very bad decision. My hair is butchered! I'm going to have to loose 5-6" to correct it and even then I'm not sure. The hair around my face is framed poorly to my chin and then length starts behind my ear that goes well past my shoulders. Like I said, I have a mullet. I have no idea how this happened from a 1/2" trim. read more

Anthony Peter Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I was really happy with my experience at this salon. I was nervous about getting an indoor haircut during the pandemic, but they're taking every safety precaution - temp checks at the door, cleaning and sanitizing everything, allowing very few people in at a time, and everyone wore their masks properly the entire time I was there. Very friendly staff and my stylist did a wonderful job. I'd highly recommend this salon! read more

The best staff, great location, and quality service & products. First of all the owner Anthony and Linda are such caring people, I always feel welcomed and even doted on when I'm here. You can tell they love what they do and the staff they hire loves what they do as well! I see Casey, she has done cut and color for me and I've loved it every time. Even when I go in for a routine trim, I leave doing a hair flip when I walk out because I feel that sassy ;) The product they use always makes my hair feel amazing, and I've even purchased some products they have offer like Paul Mitchell and Awapuhl. I love it so much here, I brought my mom and best friend to see Casey and now they're her clients too! Thanks for being awesome guys :) read more

Anthony Peter Hair Salon - Before and after pictures of my first cut and color with Casey. - Hair Salons Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I had the best experience at this salon. Ashley colored and cut my hair & it looks fabulous!!!! The owner and his wife were also so nice! I was nervous about trying a new spot but I felt very comfortable with expressing what I wanted. I would highly recommend getting your hair done here!!!! read more

Do not patronize this salon. Overpriced and hair styled by Cristina is mediocre, at best. A mortician can do a better job.

This salon has been an Oak Park staple for the past 30 years. If you like to experience excellence in customer service on a par with Nordstrom, please go to Anthony Peter. His new web site is awesome - http://anthony-peter.net. He uses all Paul Mitchell products (Paul Mitchell gives back to the community and does not do any animal testing). Anthony is super gentle with your hair and even gives you a homemade chocolate chip cookie at the end of your visit! I was extremely pleased with my experience at Anthony Peter Salon - Anthony and his wife, Linda, own the salon and are super nice. I love my new hair cut and color. Also, my scalp massage was the best scalp massage I have ever received. The prices are extremely reasonable and Anthony will take time to even teach you a new trick or two about your hair. I will definitely be back. read more

Worst cut ever. Had to go to Another salon a week later to fix the mess. Basic man cut and when i got home i noticed the front was totally uneven. Wouldn't pay $1 to go back. read more

This has been by far the best hair salon experience! I was desperate to have my hair fixed after a horrible experience I had at a different location. As soon as I walked in, Anthony greeted me and offered me something to drink. I sat down with Ashley and explained what I wanted- she took her time with me and explained everything this she was doing. I couldn't stop smiling after I left the salon! I was so happy with my hair color and cut! Everyone there works together as a team and they all made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I highly recommend this location. read more

You're very well treated from the moment you walk-in to the moment you say bye. It was my first time there, it was a walk-in. They were all super nice, I had tea and all! :) For my haircut I had Mary do this awesome shampooing with scalp massage first (almost fell asleep, seriously). She is super nice and skilled, gave me some great ideas on what to do with my hair and was very attentive to every detail! I simply love my new hair, she did it super nice! Already made arrangements to come back for my coloring, at a price that seems pretty fair to me. Definitely a place to come back! read more

One word: CASEY. She is outstanding with color and gives great haircuts. She's also the nicest person you could ever meet. The prices are very reasonable. The salon is attractive and immaculately clean. The owner, Anthony, is also an outstanding colorist and stylist. There is parking right next to the salon. And there is no yucky hair salon vibe whatsoever. Casey is young and up-to-date on current styles but she is also great with older women who want something more classic. I can't imagine how anyone could have a disappointing experience at this salon and I unreservedly recommend Casey. And for those of you who need rescuing from hair color disasters, trust me she rescued me from a total "worst-case" scenario. I didn't leave looking like the color was "fixed" either. I left looking like I never had a problem and with my color more beautiful than I ever thought it could be. They take credit cards but tips are cash only. No worries , however, there is an ATM right outside the shop if you get stuck. read more

First time at Anthony Peter. Had a root touch up and a trim with Casey and my hair looks and feels fabulous. Everyone at the Salon was great. Will be back! read more

Anthony is a lifesaver. Well, a hair-saver, but that doesn't sound as good. I went to Anthony recently because I got an awful haircut at a different salon, and I really needed help. His wife gave me an appointment for the same day that I called. I showed up and Anthony and his wife (she is a receptionist for the salon) were very accommodating. He got started on my hair right away. He listened to my concerns and spent a lot of time making me feel comfortable and communicating about what I wanted. The shampoo service!!! Oh my gosh! It was heavenly. I wish he would come to my home and wash my hair for me - everyone that works there provides the same shampoo service, and it includes a near 10-minute scalp massage. It was fabulous. He spent a good deal of time cutting and shaping my hair. While I was there, one of his regulars called to get a haircut since he was leaving town in a couple days, and Anthony set up to have him come in the next day -- even though they were closed!!! Now THAT is service! Anyway, back to me... I was so happy with my haircut and blowout, and to top it off he gave me a homemade cookie when I left. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I went back a few weeks later for color, and once again the service was phenomenal. I loved my color, and I will gladly be returning - I have found my salon! read more

Pleased is an understatement when it comes to the experience I had at this salon! I came in with 3 different colors in my hair. Blue, green, and bleached roots (a result of attempting to do it myself). With the help of Anthony and Mary, I left with a beautiful dark blonde. It looks like there was never an issue! I'm in love with my hair now. When they say they're color specialists, they aren't lying! Anthony also took time to educate me on how to take better care of my hair in the future. You can tell they really care about their clients. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

I have been going to see Anthony for a little over a year - the longest I have been with any colorist. Here is a list of reasons why: 1) Anthony is a great colorist. But that is not all... 2 Anthony is very patient. His main objective is to make sure I'm happy, so he will sit and talk, discuss colors, and even draw diagrams! to make sure we are on the same page. 3) Everyone in his shop is respectful. Have you ever sat in a chair and listened to the person cutting your hair make fun of the person who just left? Or even a long-standing client? I hate that. You won't find that at this salon. Anthony and his wife Linda are so nice and truly appreciate everyone they meet. 4) Such a warm and caring environment. 5) Linda bakes! And her cookies are fabulous. I'm so glad I was referred to Anthony. I finally feel satisfied being a long-term client. read more

I just left my first appointment at the Anthony Peter Salon and it was one of the best hair experiences I've had. I just moved back to Chicago after years in NYC and was desperate for a change. Thanks to Elena, I got it. Great location, warm atmosphere (I was greeted by my stylist and Anthony upon walking in the door), incredibly reasonable prices, super professional, AND a cookie at the end? Beat any salon I visited in NYC - by far. I recommend Anthony Peter to anyone and everyone in this fantastic city - you'll be coming back forever. read more

After looking for a salon that can put color on my hair I found Anthony's and decided to make an appointment for the same day. I walked in and was greeted and helped by Casey. She's the best. I had a picture of the color I was interested in and on her first try she nailed it. We did a test strand and the color came out perfect so she proceeded. Let me just say she did a wonderful job. Besides her the entire staff was nice and offered me water/tea and the head massage was a first. I recommend this place and I definitely recommend Casey. I did pay more than normal for the service, but it was worth it. This was my best experience at the Salon ever. read more

Casey makes my hair dreams come true every time. After years of trialing hair stylists, I finally found a place that I love. The owners really make the effort to get to know their clients and I'll be coming here as long as I can. read more

I'm so pleased with my highlights and haircut. They did an amazing job and listened to what I wanted. I'm new to the area and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. Anthony, the owner, introduced himself and made me feel like a regular. Throughout my appointment he would check in and make sure I was doing well. Anthony and his staff are kind, skilled and attentive. I will definitely return. read more

Anthony does an exceptional job with cut and color. The experience is very relaxing and he does an amazing head massage which has put me to sleep. His wife Linda also assists Anthony and she is always so accommodating - always making sure if you'd like anything to drink or read. They make a dynamite team! I always love the way I feel when I leave....very relaxed. And of course, love my cut and color! I'm so glad I found Anthony Peter Salon. read more

Amazing! Casey is super talented. The best. The whole team is super friendly and make you feel welcome. I have a great experience every time I come in. This place is great. read more

I was recommended to Krystal by a friend who had a great cut. I am over 60 years old and have had short hair my entire life, so I know a little about hair cuts. I like edgy and easy and Krystal nailed it. In the past I have had to apply product, blow dry, hit it with a curling iron and more product only to have the style flat in an hour. Now I blow dry it and it falls in place. I have gotten raves from my friends and family. This is the BEST hair cut ever!!!! The head massage was way over the top relaxing too. read more

I have been a client of Amber for many years and am thrilled with her new salon - the new place is warm, friendly, professional and clean. It's in an ideal location (parking is not a problem). Amber is a fantastic stylist. I always get lots of compliments on my hair color. The way she colors & cuts gives me opportunity to change my look, so much so that I usually get asked if I go to the salon more often than I do. The way she colors stays fresh and that has to do with her knowledge and dedication. Amber is an artist. She understands color and cut in great detail and how to best compliment a client's features. I have witnessed her work on other patrons and am always impressed by the outcome.They always look very happy. More importantly, she has always given me a great look. I highly recommend her. You will love her work! read more

Recently moved to the Oak Park area and finally found my go-to salon! Upon entering, I was warmly welcomed and quickly started with my appointment. I wanted about 3.5 inches taken off my hair and got a beautiful trim by Casey. Anthony Peter was so kind and even came up to meet me and ask me about myself. I've never had such personable stylists! Paul Mitchell has great products and Casey was very knowledgeable - even sharing some tips and tricks on how to use each for my hair type. Highly recommended and will be coming back! read more

Anthony has no business charging 70.00 for haircut what mess this man did to my hair.

My first hair cut here and can not say enough good things about Cristina! She cut off 5 inches and gave it a nice style! By far the best haircut I have ever had! She took her time and was very detailed. Looking forward to my next cut with her! read more

Great place! Super friendly staff. Christina was amazing! Had a cut and color done. Loved it!

Anthony takes the time to teach you the basics of hair. He and his wife are super and go above and beyond. That, and I love my layer haircut! Whenever I can I will come back here. read more

Anthony, his wife Linda, and the staff there do beautiful work - expert coloring, stylish cuts, and every customer is treated well. My husband is a long-time customer, though he goes in for a simple cut. We're both devoted clients of Anthony's, but some services are provided by his staff (hair washing mostly), and they do great work as well. I greatly appreciate that this is not a stuffy salon - the staff is friendly and welcoming, and they make clients of all ages and tastes look lovely when they're done. read more

I first went to see Amber for a color & cut after reading good things about her here on Yelp, and went back 2-3 more times since. The color was always fabulous -- she is very, very good with color, though she usually ran late, and I was charged more and more each time I went in for the same service. My opinion of this stylist and this salon changed today, however, when I went in for my appointment -- that I had just scheduled one week ago -- and was told that Amber no longer works there. There was no apology or explanation from the receptionist, other than "[the owners] were supposed to call everyone," and when I asked to speak to the managers, she simply said they are out of town. I was coming from the northwest suburbs and lost a good deal of time and money (for the babysitter), let alone the parking meters, for this appointment, and I am angry. Mistakes happen, ok, but this is totally unprofessional and has completely tarnished my opinion of this salon. EDITED 7/10/13: I called back and spoke with the owners when they returned from vacation. They were very apologetic, and told me that Amber had assured them she would be calling all of her clients with appointments and letting us know she was leaving. Needless to say, she did not call me, and I am still quite irritated that she would have such little regard for her client. At any rate, the owners offered me a complimentary haircut by Anthony, the owner, so I went in again for a cut and color with Anthony. The cut is very nice. The color actually does not resemble what Amber had done despite using her notes, and despite me showing a picture of what I was looking for, but I understand that it's not always going to end up looking like what you've got in mind. I should have mentioned in my first post that the owners are very nice people and that they really try to make their clients feel at home by constantly replenishing water/tea, providing magazines, etc., and they also give out homemade cookies when you leave. I do, indeed, think that Anthony and his wife are good people and have a nice salon there... but I may try to find a colorist that can do what Amber did to my hair. EDITED AGAIN 7/12/13: Now a few days have passed, and it is quite clear to me now that my hair actually looks nothing like what I went in there for. I can only conclude that the formula was mixed wrong, or that he just decided to do something other than what we discussed. I am not going to call back to get it fixed, I'll just find somewhere else. But again - the owners are very nice people and it's with mixed emotions that I will have to find someplace else. read more

i have to say Casey gave me a very nice cut and color. Normally I would have booked my next appointment but I didn't. There are few times and places i wish to be pampered but getting my hair done is one. The salon looks old and tired. It desperately needs updating. The days and hours it's open are less than average. it is a small salon that feels like it is limping along to stay open. The prices are average but to me if you charge the same as other salons you should look the same and this place isn't as modern. I got the feeling they have little repeat business and survive by walk-ins and promotions to get new clients. Too bad. it is a convenient location but it doesn't measure up to other salons in the area. Lastly, so many salons keep their clients by the stylist relating well to the client. This place is so small that any person speaking is heard by everyone else in the salon. No privacy. Sorry; Nice people but I have to continue my search. Wish my last stylist hadn't moved out of state read more

I visited this salon for the first time recently and had a wonderful experience. Wonderful staff, wonderful haircut. I'll definitely be back! read more

I have been coming to this salon for two years, and have always loved my haircut (I have short hair, never been colored) - but this is the first time I have wanted to write a review. This salon deserves even more 5-star reviews than it already has! I have seen a number of stylists here and I am always pleased with the quality of my haircut. The appointments run on-time and Anthony and his wife Linda are so wonderfully nice and welcoming. The stylists help each other out and give each other tips - it is wonderful to be in a place where it seems like everyone has respect and admiration for each other - I get a very positive feeling every time I'm there. Thank you for all the haircuts thus far, and many more to come! read more

I've been going to Anthony Peter for about 3 years now and I really love it. I have difficult hair to cut and Tony and his crew do an excellent job with it. Probably the best haircut I've ever received. In addition, the service and friendly staff really make you feel at home. read more

I've been here twice and Casey always give me EXACTLY what I want. I have hard hair to work with because it is very thick and curly. The last time I came in I wanted a blunt cut at my chin, which I knew was a gamble since my hair is curly. Casey was still able to make it work and it was one of my favorite hair cuts I've ever had. This salon is also very good with color. They knew what color would suit my face when I asked for a natural looking ombre. I will say it is an expensive place but totally worth it. read more

Anthony Peter has been my hair stylist for a year and he is fabulous. If you have wavy or curly hair, he is the man to see. My hair hasn't looked this wavy for a while, thanks to a poor hair cut. Because of Anthony's great talent, I have my natural wave back and constantly get compliments on my hair style. read more

The BEST salon experience! If you want to feel pampered, welcomed and leave feeling and looking beautiful, Anthony Peter's is the salon for you. The salon is beautiful and tastefully decorated with a warm, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Anthony and his wife Linda quickly make you feel like family and are gracious hosts offering beverages and Anthony's delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies. Anthony has been a successful hair professional for years and continues his passion for learning new techniques in cutting, styling and color through seminars and classes he attends frequently. I love hearing about what new technique or tip he has learned and how it could apply to my style or color choice of the month. My teenage daughter and son really enjoy the experience as do the friends and neighbors we have introduced. The scalp massage, tips on styling, the quality product line and overall experience rate Anthony and his team of talented stylists a win read more

I generally do not write reviews but wanted to reply to Jim H about Amber. Amber has been with Anthony Peter in the past and has indeed recently returned there from Team Blonde. I do not wish to comment on my overall experience with the salon at Team Blonde, nor do I wish to weigh in on the events leading up to and after Team Blonde's parting of ways with Amber. But I do know that Amber has many clients who have been with her for a number of years, and who were eager to find out where she is working to continue their services with her. I have been her client for over five years, and know that Amber is one of the best stylist/colorist in the entire Chicago area. I am a professional who makes it her business to look relatively stylish and well-turned out and I have entrusted my color and cut to Amber without any regrets or criticisms. She takes the time to really work with her clients, counsels them about the health and management of their hair, and overall provides a pleasant and highly professional experience for them. Her customer service is exceptional and her training and talent are first-rate. read more
