Amazing experience today at Carolyn Lorraine Salon. Lisa did a fantastic job as always. Color, cut, styling .... she does it all. I absolutely love how my hair looks! I highly recommend. read more

I had a facial by Mo on Friday and was amazed at how wonderful my skin looked. On Friday, I put a light foundation on to go to the Symphony and my face glowed. I have had expensive Hydrafacials and Diamond Glow facials at an expensive Spa/Surgical Center. My skin never looked as good as it did after Mo's facial. Plus, she is delightful and sweet and really knows her business. I will most definitely be going back. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Sam at Caroln Lorraine Salon! She is truly a gem. Her talent with both cut and color is exceptional--she always takes the time to listen, understand exactly what I'm looking for, and then delivers results that are even better than I imagined. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable about products and takes the guesswork out of choosing what's best for my hair. I always leave feeling refreshed, confident, and well taken care of. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what she does, I highly recommend booking with Sam. She's the best! read more

I was looking for a place to take my 10yr old daughter for a haircut that could do something stylish, but didn't charge for a full woman's haircut. Carolyn did a fabulous job with her hair and it came out exactly like my daughter wanted. Cute little salon in downtown Northbrook, and will definitely be back! read more

Had my first appointment with Carrie today. It was a wonderful experience! My hair looks great! Color is beautiful and cut is great. So happy I found this place. PW read more

Six Stars for Carolyn Lorraine Salon! I recently moved, have been searching for a salon that offers professional services at a reasonable price... Annie did a fabulous job with color, highlights were "just right"! In addition to being a true pro, she is also kind and welcoming, glad I found her at this fine Salon... Thanks Annie, Thanks Carolyn Lorraine!! I will be back!!! read more

The cashier will charge you extra about 40% from online prices. She never ask the hairdresser or I what services I received, she just charge almost 40% extra (the multiple times I was there) not including tips. BEWARE!! The hairdresser Ann was rude, she said i was difficult (I showed her photos) and she complained about my hair while cutting. STUFF need etiquette lessons. ~Irene read more

I've had nothing but great experiences here at Carolyn Lorraine Salon. I've been coming for a number of years for both hair and nail services. Kristen does a great job on my hair - she keeps a card of my coloring and notes to keep in mind for my next session. She's always really good at suggesting what my hair needs and what we can do with it. I've had several sessions with her over the years. If you're looking for coloring, balayage, event updos, or curl treatment, Kristen is your gal! read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Carolyn Lorraine. I have had a bad experience at a hair salon in the past but Kristen made me feel so safe and welcome when I came in. I had been thinking of getting bangs for months but was nervous about the length and how it would look. Kristen was so professional and calm when choosing out swatches in the color book and when she did my hair that I really trusted her and her abilities!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how my hair turned out and can't wait to ring in the new year with my new do thanks to Kristen!! read more

Carolyn Lorraine has been my salon for a very long time, and for good reason...the staff is incredible! Every member of the team is warm, welcoming, and the very best at what they do. I've recently had the pleasure of working with Laura and not surprisingly, she did a great job on my hair (and it was no small task)! So glad to have such a great salon so close to home! read more

This review is for the special occasion updo service ($65). I was extremely happy with Rachel's styling! I brought in 2 pictures of updos that I like. Though the styles were different (a braided messy bun, and a sideswooped 'do of lots of curls), she worked her magic and combined both for me. The end result looked fantastic, and it only took 45 minutes! I got my hair did around 12:30pm, and the updo lasted all afternoon and night for the wedding that I attended. Not a single strand of hair fell out of place! (Just expect to pull out about 15 bobby pins and wash out some hair spray the next day.) Thanks Rachel! read more

Carolyn is a LIFESAVER!! My daughter got half of my hair stuck in a round hairbrush and I couldn't get it out. I called the salon in a panic right before it closed on a Monday night and they said they could take me in 15 minutes. Carolyn miraculously removed the brush and detangled the rat's nest in less than 30 minutes and I got to keep most of my hair. I was very impressed by the salon itself which is spacious and clean. It carries all the products that I like. I am going to be a loyal customer for life! read more

This place has the best stylists and they always do magic. Tia did my keratin and color and did an amazing job. It turned out exactly how I wanted. Milena does amazing work on nails. She can do any type of artwork you show her and her no chips last! read more

Carolyn Lorraine Salon is the best place ever. I have been coming here for years and they always are so welcoming and cheerful. All the workers there are like family. My entire family has been going to this salon for years and have seen many of the hair stylist. all are great and so so wonderful. read more

Not sure what took me so long to try this place. But started going to Mindy for an eyebrow Wax. She does a fantastic job and so personable. Given my daughter is in a wheelchair this place is accessible for her. After speaking to Michelle the very friendly & helpful receptionist given our needs and Renee's thick hair she recommended DiDi. It was meant to be. A fantastic cut with a woman who has a special child herself. She had such patience with Renee. Made any and all accommodations necessary for our visit including the shampoo girl! It's my turn on Friday! So happy to have gone local. read more

This is The place for hair! It's truly a family affair! Carrrie owns it, her sister Katie works by her side! All my daughters, and a son in law are clients! Hardly a day goes by that I don't get a compliment on my beautiful hair. I give the honor and thanks to Katie! read more

Not only is Carrie the best at hair color, she runs a wonderful salon with a kind, caring and most importantly, a talented staff. I have been coming to this salon for almost 20 years and always feel cared about and listened to. When I walk down the street people always stop me to ask me where I get my hair done. That pretty much says it all! Run, don't walk if you want to feel beautiful every time you walk in and walk out. Thank you all!!! read more

Typically love this salon, but I had a really bad experience with the stylist Annie. I had gone in for simple haircut and blowdry, and left with my hair frizzy, ugly, and damp. She didn't use any product for heat protection or frizziness after I explicitly asked her to, and then tried to flat iron my wet to get rid of the frizz. I had to go home and use my own products and styling tools to fix it. DO NOT recommend for younger clients. read more

I have been going here for my haircuts for quite awhile now and I have always been happy with the service and professionalism! Great people here all around! Highly recommend! I really like what the owner has been doing during these uncertain times.. She has completely remade the salon and followed all the CDC guidelines!! These are the types of businesses that should be applauded and supported!! Way to go gang! You will always have my business! read more

Debra recently cut my hair (Dec. 3rd). After the cut was complete I didn't like it. However, she and the other staff assured me that the cut looked good although I still hated it. It made me feel somewhat better that my daughter said it "wasn't that bad". Of course my daughter only said this to make me feel better. This haircut has been the Bain of my existence since that day and I felt I should write a review of my experience to help others. I had a DevaCut. Debra had cut both my hair and my daughter's before with beautiful results which is why I went to her again. Worst MISTAKE ever! Looking back, I should not have even paid for this cut seeing how it looks nothing like the picture I showed her, it's entirely too short, and most of all it is lopsided. I could handle the length if it was not lopsided. Nothing I do to it makes it look even halfway decent. My hair stretched to the middle of my back before the cut and now it barely reaches further than the base of my neck. The cut she did was what SHE wanted not what I wanted. Now I am going to have to pay someone else to fix the botch job. I did leave a tip mostly because she came in on her day off and I was showing appreciation to that fact but I wish she would have said no and stayed home that day. I am VERY disappointed by this cut and wish I had never entrusted my hair to her.  A mistake I will not make again. read more

I love this hair salon! The owner is doing things 100% correctly in regards to Covid-19. Outstanding service and care from the super friendly owner and staff!! They will always have my business! Kudos to Carrie for caring about her customers! read more

The salons is clean, bright, and always pleasant inside! Very easy to schedule an appointment. Kristen is the absolute best!!!

It is expensive and they make my daughter happy, nuff said ;-) She consistently walks out of this place checking herself out and smiling. If you are a dad and you have a wife and a daughter; AND you have already run the frustrating gamut of 'trying to obtain style at the cutteries' then you will appreciate this place for that saving grace alone. Tips: Book appointments ahead of time Tip in cash Do your wallet a favor and space out the frequency of the visits and it comes close to being comparable to monthly cuttery visits. read more

I love Carolyn Lorraine Salon. My first time going in was on a Saturday before Christmas. Charmaine (I highly recommend) did a wonderful job! She took her time and made sure I was happy even though I was the last person at the salon. She never made me feel rushed, which I really appreciated. They had a ton of clients in and out and I still felt VERY taken care of. I could tell the other clients (regulars?) felt very at home and knew most of the people working in the salon. Every interaction was positive which always makes for a better day at the salon! Thanks Charmaine and Kelly for taking such good care of me and my hair! Looking forward to my next appointment at Carolyn Lorraine Salon. read more

Clean, friendly, welcoming environment. Super talented and creative staff. The owner, Carrie, knows her customers and treats everyone like family. And my hair! I had heavy, colicky hair that created annoying flips for years until I came here. The cut is always great, the color is really the best. read more

I had surgery 3 days ago and I have limited movement in my arms. At this time, I am unable to wash my hair, and my head was starting to get itchy. My mother, who is a client, called them since she had an appointment today and asked if they could fit me in (I am unable to drive so I am stuck going wherever she goes). They said that they would wash my hair and would not charge me for it. All I had to do is tip the shampoo person. I just want to thank them for their kindness. I felt like garbage, but now feel at least a bit more like a person. read more

THE BEST HAIR SALON OUT THERE!!! such sweet and amazing hair dressers and they truly care so much about their clients! I've been here so many times and they never fail to amaze me.

I love Carolyn Lorraine!! I have been getting my hair cut by Charmaine for years and she always does an AMAZING job and is fun to talk to. Everyone at the salon is kind and professional. I always make a point to get an appointment when I am in town!! read more

I've been going to this Salon since I for forever but recently when I went back the woman who cut my hair did not listen to me at all. She cut off 2 1/2 more inches then I said and I asked for layers and got basically bangs. The worst haircut I have gotten and I am so upset. I will not be returning back despite my previous good luck there. Was so sad and disappointed now I have to wait for my hair to grow back. read more

My review is for Carly. Carly started off by coloring my hair. I made it EXTREMELY clear I wanted the DARKEST shade of brown almost black looking. She agreed, colored my hair and when I washed it out it was a light brown and different colors near my ears. I told her it wasn't the color I asked for and she said not to worry and she'll step it up a notch so she colored it a second time and wanted to charge me twice for the color! Excuse me? You want to charge me twice when she was the one to mess up the first time? It doesn't stop there... she CHOPPED off the whole top of my hair and made me look like I have a mullet. She continuously said I didn't touch the top part of your hair. Really?!?! So the scissor ghost chopped off my hair?!??? My hair WAS all one length until she touched it. Please look at the attached picture. I'm still not done it gets better... she said she'll install the tape in extensions and if I didn't like them she'll take them out.. ok that's fair... so she installed them and they were poorly blended which I notice they were after I took a shower and saw all of my natural length hair shine through. I literally felt like ripping them out, so when I asked her for my money back she promised me she refused. So not only does she not know what she's doing , she'll rob you. I ended up going to Exsolance salon which Tony Odisho owns and sat with him myself and he too agreed what a horrible job she did. He agreed to take them out for me and couldn't be nicer. He asked who installed them and seemed pretty embarrassed his own line of hair wasn't being installed properly. read more

Carolyn Lorraine Salon - Carly chopped off my hair - Nail Salons Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

Used to love this place and would go all the time for haircuts and waxes and now I can't believe what I just payed for. Got my haircut asked for 2 inches and they cut off half of my hair probably 4 or 5 inches of it. Then I got my eyebrows wax, the lady didn't even bother waiting for the wax to cool off and applied it burning hot to my face. I left with butchered eyebrows, no lotion or cream for afterwards, she didn't even do the top of them, which i'm glad because she would have burned my forehead, and an extremely overpriced charge. I'm so disappointed in the service I just received and my skin is on fire. read more

Carolyn Lorraine is a fabulous salon with friendly staff and they always make sure to take clients in a timely manner. Also, Kristen is a phenomenal hair stylist and she always achieves the perfect color and style. I highly recommend her to everyone! read more

Not worth the money, there's no consistency with the pricing which has bothered me in the past.

Absolutely love this place!!! The salon was so welcoming and comfortable. I recently got a color and cut with Christina, and i've never been happier with my hair. I definitely recommend this full service salon, looking forward to trying trying some of the other services they offer!! read more

I have gone to Carly twice for a balayage. The first time I had no complaints. However, the last time I went in August of 2019 I was completely overcharged, and I found out later that Carly had been overcharging people recently and I wasn't the first person. That time I went to Carolyn Lorraine with a friend and we both got balayage done but hers was $50+ less than mine even though she has more hair. When I went to pay and asked why mine was so much more expensive the women just ignored my question and shrugged. I can not complain about the quality of the work done at this salon, but it is ridiculous that people can charge as much as they want and it is obviously not dependant on the amount of dye used. read more
