And the entire staff feels like family. My hair is so healthy despite changing my hair color many times. The products they use are incomparable, and make my hair shiny and soft. Every time my color dream has been achieved. Taylor Reese can do it all - I've done blonde, red, natural highlights. Fun styles with bangs, and layers - and my hair color always grows out nicely, and I can style my hair or leave it natural. I've gotten my makeup done by Fotini for dances and events and always feel flawless. And Ellen does a fabulous facial and really pays attention to my skins needs. Mouna, the owner, is the nicest human ever and been going to her since the beginning. Everyone here is so talented and they've worked together forever, it's such a fun environment :) lovely to see

I have been going to Taylor Reese for 23+ years. I am a loyal client of Mouna, Michelle, &…read moreRaymond, but have received services from many members of the staff. I come here because the stylists and colorists are the most professional, educated, and talented artists. The continuing education they seek out sets them apart from any other salon in the area. From the moment you arrive at Taylor Reese, you are greeted with smiles and caring conversation. It is an upbeat, yet relaxed vibe. The assistants wash your hair with the finest products tailored to your needs. Each one of them is kind and allows you to relax and enjoy your shampoo and treatments. Taylor Reese provides an array of services and accommodates the client's requests. Each stylist has a specific area in which they shine. The staff will assess and recommend the right professional to make your hair vision come to life. Raymond and Mouna are color geniuses. Mouna's skills are unmatched. She has been a ray of sunshine, setting a high bar for hiring staff. Raymond educates other colorists across the country. Personally, I feel the utmost gratitude, especially to Michelle. She has given me back my confidence and self-esteem with my extensions. She cares deeply for her clients. I am blown away by how often Michelle seeks opportunities to grow, learn, and evolve her skill set. She travels often to take part in courses and to hone her craft. Beyond her mad skills, she is reliable, gracious, and truly understands her clients' needs, and she immediately puts us at ease. A negative Yelp review of Michelle is just not accurate. It makes absolutely no sense. She is the consummate professional. She has a beautiful soul and leads with her whole heart. Many of Michelle's clients, including me, were given the chance to feel beautiful once again with her gorgeous extensions. There are extensions, and then there are Michelle's extensions. I often tell her that I love my "your hair". She elevates the process with the finest hair available. Her ability to color-match is genius. It's impossible to imagine anyone not having the best experience in her care. Michelle is the very best. If you are looking for the best salon, Taylor Reese is the one. It's a place you can count on to be in good hands. Literally.

Well, I should have listened to my intuition... I went shopping for a salon in the highland Park,…read moreHighwood area. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just something that wasn't a chain. When I initially went in to blow by blow (what a stupid name btw), they're pricing seemed ridiculous, and they seemed pushy. It was 80.00 for a haircut and 80.00 for a color treatment. I decided to give them a chance any way because the woman making appointments was extremely kind and helpful. Color: I went in wanting something different for summer, but not crazy. The stylist had 0 creativity and 0 patience and pushed me to a color of her choosing -surprise surprise, it was my natural color, exactly. Also, she only dyed the top of my hair, then did something they call a shine treatment, which seemed like plain old conditioner. I told the stylist I expected a full color treatment, and wanted to make sure I'd have the same color root to tip. She said I was wrong and shouldn't question her professionalism. When they dried my hair, I showed her that the tips of my hair were definitely not the same color as my roots. Instead of fixing it, she argued with me for 5 minutes, then insisted that she knew what she was doing and my hair looked good to her. I didn't want to risk having my hair completely ruined by an angry stylist, so I didn't push any further. Haircut: I showed my stylist a picture of exactly what I wanted and told her exactly what I didn't want. . She again said she knew better than me and said that the picture of what I wanted was the style I didn't want. She dried my hair with no product, parted my hair differently than I do for the dry haircut, argues with me for every point from length to style, keeps me.away from the mirror until it's too late to tell her that everything is 100% wrong. Ugh, I want to cry. I've grown my hair out for 2 years only to have someone hack away at it. I can't even hide it in a ponytail. She knows I'm unhappy and sort of tries to appease me, so she gives me curls, which hide my bad haircut, and I walk out with exactly the wrong color and cut and am out 200.00 and 2 hours of my time. Tldr: unprofessional hair stylists don't listen and bully you into taking whatever they feel like giving you.

It was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I had talked to her before the appointment because I had a special occasion coming up and wanted my cut freshened up. I left the salon with something I absolutely did not want and was so upset. I called to tell Judith how I felt and was met with a cold unconcerned response. I thought I would never go back, but this spring Lilia came back, and I booked as soon as I could. My appointment was scheduled, although pretty far ahead as she was busy. I even put a deposit to hold it. Today I realized that my appointment was scheduled for tomorrow and I had not heard anything from the salon. I called to confirm and found out that again Lilia is not working. This time nobody bothered to call and tell me that my appointment had been cancelled nor offer me any alternative. If you cancel with them less that 24 hours, they charge a sizeable fee but seem to not give the same courtesy to their clients. I do not recommend this place. The stylists are good, but the owner has a big chip on her shoulder and has some questionable business practices. I contemplated not writing this updated review but changed my mind after this most recent incident. Consumers should be aware. Very disappointed.

I was highly recommended to this salon from someone who has gone here for years. I felt this was a…read morereally good recommendation. I was completely wrong. This person who recommended me always had beautiful color. I was looking for a single process dye. I wanted my highlights to show through. If someone is trained properly with color, this is not hard. Apparently, the woman I was recommend to did not have the training. Her name is Sona and I would NEVER recommend her. She is a nice person but runs her clients like an assembly line. She does not listen to the customer. I came in with sun bleached hair. I do a lot of gardening. The sun does change the color. I wanted her to get as close to the natural color of my hair as possible which is brunette. This has never been a problem before. She looked in my hair and said she could see where it was darker. Instead of making the color what I wanted, she made the color match the sun bleached hair which was easier for her so she could get to the next client. My hair has a red glow. It is really ugly. I refuse to go out in public looking like this. Does nobody understand what this does to a person? I just want to cry every time I look in a mirror. She really did a number on me. She also said I needed a glaze. I never had this before from anyone. I have no idea what a glaze is or what it does. She never explained this to me nor did she tell me the cost. The customer always needs to be informed so the customer can make a logical decision. I figured this would be a temporary color wash. Maybe $10? When I went to pay I got sticker shock they added on $35.Not everyone in the NorthShore is wealthy like most assumes. I know the value if a dollar but I struggle for every penny. This was a scam in my eyes and to get a commission for something that was not needed. Be ware of additional costly services that are not needed. In all my years of having my hair colored,I never had a glaze on a single process dye. I still have no idea why one needs this. I did talk to the manager. I wanted to talk to the owner but she made herself obsolete. I don't like talking through people. This is how misunderstanding and miscommunications happen. I did talk to the manager who talked to the owner. Horrible! You need to talk directly with the owner. This never happened. I asked many times. I also asked this manager if this somewhat of a colorist is a master colorist or on her way. I wanted to see her certificates. Apparently she is just someone off the streets who does coloring. She has no certificates for me to see. She was not licensed. In all my years of coloring my hair, I have never seen anything like this. I was told they would tear up my check. We will see if this is true but I was also told I can not have any of their services again. They think this is customer service friendly. I don't think so. I was left with a mess that will be very costly and take many months to correct. The color is uneven. I am so embarrassed. They simply do not care. I do not recommend going here. It was a horrible experience. Just be honest if you can't do what the customer wants. This is all I have ever asked.

I brought my teenage son in to get his eyebrows waxed. Maggie (who we had not met before) noticed that my son has some acne and dry skin and before she began, asked him if he takes Accutane. He had just started taking it three weeks ago. She told us that is it unsafe to wax skin of people who are taking Accutane because it will burn the skin and because the skin is so dry, more layers will pull off and it will be unsafe and terribly painful. My doctor had NOT mentioned this to us! She offered two options: We could leave, stop taking the medication for 3 days and come back to wax or she would take the extra time (and pain for my son) to completely tweeze his eyebrows. I'm so impressed that she even offered to send us away at the risk that we might not come back! We chose to stay and have her tweeze his eyebrows. She did a great job! I am SO impressed with Maggie that she cares so much about the health of her customers...especially when we were strangers! Thank you, Maggie! We will be back! read more

My stylist of 20+ years moved and I was lost. After many disappointing salon experiences Blue Orchid had the right vibe, a great location and I would soon learn, great talent. I have thick, curly, corse hair. My greys never want to hold color and blowouts only last a few hours -never overnight. Then I let Lindsay get ahold of my mess..... Lindsay gives the best blowouts EVER! Without touch ups, my hair stays strait for DAYS. Days!! As a blowout junkie this has been a mind blowing experience. She also does the best balayage (that even sticks to my stubborn greys!), gives a great cut and has done killer makeup for friends and family on multiple occasions. My hair dries out easily and she's made great recommendations to alleviate that issue as well. I often let her play and tell her to "surprise me" and she always nails it. Robin and crew always make me feel so welcome. I could spend all day there. Btw, I come from the city for Blue Orchid and Lindsay. Worth it! read more

My daughter and I love Blue Orchid. We followed Randy to the full service salon and couldn't be happier! They cater to every type of client- from a busy moms like me, to glamazons who look like they belong in the Real Housewives franchise, to elderly ladies with a hair-piece. It feels like family, and we love it. We can go to get a quick haircut... or stay for 1/2 the day to get our color, nails, waxing, skin and other body treatments done. If we have a special occasion or need new makeup, Cynthia is there with her high-end, but affordable, natural make-up line. My 46 yr-old skin has never looked better. The vibe is like the movie Steele Magnolias mashed with Beauty Shop or the legally blond movie. This is where my daughter was able to get her first highlights, try starter make-up solutions, get glitter nails, and her eyebrows waxed. I can't say enough good things about the services, quality and the staff. It's our place now. read more

A visit to Chicago and what a worthwhile trip to Highland Park to return to Blue Orchid Salon and Spa. Just when I thought it couldn't be any better, I treated myself to a great mani/pedi and it is still beautiful after 9 days! Then, a facial with Val. I never liked a facial before, but I actually enjoyed her magic fingers on my face and my skin never looked better! Then, you will see how indulgent I was, I had a 90 minute Thai body work session--stretching every muscle in my body. Came in with stress pain on each side of my neck and feel so much better. OK, the final service was to cut my long hair into the most amazing bob. Even my crowd at Starbucks commented on how great I looked this morning. This was a big birthday treat for myself and can't tell you how life affirming it was. I recommend this for anyone who knows the meaning of stress or to give as a gift to someone with a lot going on! read more

This Salons & Spa recently opened in Highland Park, and I've desperately been looking for a good place to get my nails done after several bad experiences in the area. Drove by this place over the weekend, checked out the web site, and decided to give it a try. Well, I'm here to say that I was pleasantly surprised, and got one of the best mani/pedi's that I've had in quite some time!! My nail technician was Patty, and she took her time, was very friendly, and did an amazing job on my nails!! They just opened, so they are still kind of getting settled in, but the salon is brand new, very clean, and a nice environment to sit for a few hours and relax while getting a mani/pedi. I will definitely be back! Glad to finally have a good nail place in the area! read more

There's a lot of competition in the North Shore and it can be frustrating. Luckily I have found a stylist that I've followed for 3 + years. When she said she was going to a more upbeat and centrally located salon still in the neighborhood I was excited. Besides. There's great restaurants near by. Christina does amazing work. Her color is always perfect and consistent. Her blow drys are the best in the business. Her cuts are always 2 cuts ahead so my hair never looks out of place or uneven. The salon is so upbeat and the staff is amazing. They are a full spa salon. They do mani/pedi, spray tans (which Christina does), waxing, massages and so much more. Please make sure you see Christina. She's great!!! read more

I cut my hair elsewhere (shoutout to Vivian at Bloouts down the street who gives the BEST cuts), but find it easiest with timing to get blowouts here following my colors. Unfortunately, I've had trouble finding a good stylist for blowouts. I went to Kate for many years, but once showed up for family pictures with my daughter. She took a look at my daughter's curls and said she had no time in her busy schedule (at the very time of our appointment), which I thought was really wrong to do an hour before photos. My daughter rocked her beautiful curls for photos, but it left a bad taste in my mouth so 2 years ago I moved on to Ji for my own blowouts. During my most recent hair appt I was running a few minutes late and they expedited my glaze so that I wouldn't be too late for Ji. I went downstairs to find her and she was busy with a client so I sat there for 10 minutes waiting for her. Once she finished her client she rudely turned to me and she was out of time and would have to see me another time. After I complained they found me someone else, but the stylists really need to learn to stick to their schedules and work with the front desk if they need more time. I may continue to go here because I like Marissa, but if so it looks like I'm on the hunt once again for another stylist after color. I would love to walk down the streets to BloOuts, but difficult to time it right and walking in winter with wet hair isn't so fun.
