I had a hair trim and color for a couple small gray areas. They charged me $250! I thought highlights were $100 and cuts were $75. I will not go back! Be careful to establish pricing before you get any services there. read more

Would never go back. Owner contacted me thirty days after I complained about a service. Said I should have asked the stylist to "fix" my hair. He was swamped as it was. There was no time for him to fix a frizzy blowout and too short bangs. read more

First time visit, wonderful experience with Emily. Love the products. Made a follow up visit for a little more detail work. Pretty excited.

I have NEVER had a bad experience with Ashley or Michael. I often come in and completely change what we had planned to do and both of them have always responded positively and created something awesome. 100% happy with all services I have ever received ! read more

Michael did a great job with my color taking me from blonde to a beautiful caramel brunette for fall. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this salon!! This past week I visited the salon after an awful experience elsewhere for a cut and balayage. I ended up with stripes of pink and platinum blonde all over my head, absolutely nothing like what I had asked for, and had an additional almost 3 inches of my length chopped off! Immediately upon leaving the other salon I emailed Colour Line in tears hoping to get in for a consult ASAP to see what can be salvaged of my hair; within 30mins I received an email with an appt for a consult the next day! I saw the owner, Kris, who went over my options and directed me to one of their stylists, and thankfully was able to get me in for the appt the same day. I saw Michael, and all I can say is wow! He is absolutely amazing at what he does and is a true artist (and magician apparently, lol). From beginning to end the whole experience was great; all the staff was welcoming and friendly and Michael made me feel so at ease throughout the process. Being nearly 7 months pregnant, and not the easiest of pregnancies, I was so excited to try something new to make me feel good and pretty again. After the disaster that was my head following the visit to the other salon, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to accomplish that for a while; but luckily I found my way to Michael at Colour Line and with his hard work I feel amazing and have had countless compliments already! Definitely my go to salon for all future hair needs, thanks guys!! read more

Stylist just didn't do my hair right. Paid too much. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxz

I am so happy with my hair, I'm just going to tell you right now that this would be six stars if I could give them. After a fairly traumatic experience the last time I was at Zano Salon in Downtown Naperville, well, let's just say I waited wayyyyy too long to even attempt another salon visit. Eight months and a new city later, I obsessively trolled Yelp looking for a new salon. Took me three weeks to finally land on Colour Line - and Allyson, specifically. I called for an appointment and just under three weeks later, I was in. While I was a bit irritated at first that it would take three weeks, I totally get it now. Allyson is a freaking genius. But let's start with the basics. The salon is bright and colorful, with a huge magazine selection and a carefully curated product selection. (This gets important later.) Receptionist was on the phone when I arrived but Allyson came right out, and GAME ON. We chatted about my (admittedly dry and not attractively sunbleached) hair and what I'd like to see. I brought pictures. She told me she could do what I wanted and HOW she would do it, which I actually appreciated a great deal. And then she was off to mix color. We chatted quite a bit (normally I've got my head in my phone, or a magazine, but she was really delightful), she got my color in, and I was moved to a cute little waiting area with every magazine imaginable. Win. She gives a damn good head massage, too. So, my color turned out PERFECTLY. It was exactly what I wanted. And the texture felt soooo much better. I braced myself for the hard sell on products - this is the part that absolutely killed my soul at Zano - but... there was no hard sell. No sell at ALL, actually. In fact, she gave me samples and then told me to try and use what I already have at home, and if I wanted to come back for specific products she used, I could pop in anytime. What is this sorcery? No hard sell? Samples?? WHAT? I bought two of the products on the spot anyway, and fairly certain I'm going back for two more this week. I love this place. I love my hair. I love Allyson. I've already booked my next appointment. (PS... the prices are insanely reasonable for the quality and service.) read more

I got a haircut from Ashley a little while ago and I'm so happy with it. I will definitely come back. She also taught me how to properly do a blowout for my haircut and gave me pointers on what kind of products to buy for my hair type. My haircut was a huge improvement over what I usually get, definitely the best one I've ever gotten. Everyone was very nice. Edit: I even got a nice card in the mail that came a day or so after this review was originally posted read more

Holy smokes! This was my first time coming to color line & I'm blown away. Elin trimmed my very outgrown pixie & knew exactly how to style it (without blowing it out of curling it) . She did a wonderful job with my big loose curls. I loved the atmosphere & everyone was so friendly & very contentious of keeping everything clean. read more

I just love Colour Line in Geneva. The atmosphere, staff, and the stylists are amazing. Alysson does an amazing job in my hair, she is my stylist for just a year. My hair is just the way I wanted she understand me. I am a little crazy because I like to change the color of my hair a lot and Alysson do it. They treat you so nice and they are very generous comparing with my other one C'zar in Naperville where I was a client for 15 years. At C'zar if I need a coke I have to pay for it, and never ever have a discount. I have discounts in my first time, as a treat they made you a fresh warm pop corn and a refreshment. Also you have a discount on your birthday months. If you are looking for a nice place, with wonderful people, and excellent professionals Colour Line in Geneva is your palce read more

I just had a wonderful experience with Ashley. I've been between stylists for a while now. Since I have curly hair not every stylist knows how to make it shine. Ashley talked with me about what I do at home and what I prefer so that she could give me a beautiful style that I can actually recreate myself. Not only that but the salon is taking plenty of precautions for COVID; masks, temperature taking, social distancing, plexiglass where appropriate etc. It made me feel comfortable and I'm glad that they care about keeping their customer and staff safe. I'll be back! read more

Mask Nazis! Playing God. Awful. Actually confronted me in the parking lot before I even got to the sidewalk. I have been there before, on oxygen, and Elin and the management knew I was a person with a disability who had made the appointment, 2 months ago. No one called me to express concern or ask about my vaccination status. No one asked me about a "reasonable accommodation" which is required by law. She came out the door to confront me about not wearing a mask, and she had to "check with management" before allowing me in the door. Leaving me standing in the middle of the parking lot. I am a person with a disability, wearing oxygen full time. I have had TWO vaccinations, NO ONE ASKED ME ABOUT MY VACCINATION STATUS, ONLY THE MASK WHICH IS A FACADE, for what intimidation tactic is the question? Illinois law does NOT allow businesses to discriminate against people with respiratory disease. In fact, the law specifically recognizes people who cannot "medically tolerate a face covering" . FURTHERMORE, YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE A PERSON WITH SHORT HAIR A HAIRCUT WHILE WEARING A MASK. UNBELIEVABLE. All this for a simple haircut. How terribly sad, unfair and discriminatory. read more

Love this salon! Valerie is a master at her craft and always achieves the bright blonde I'm going for! The salon is clean and festive and the stylists (especially Val) are top notch! read more

Colour Line Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

A great experience! I went here as a hair model (non-paying customer) and yet I was treated like royalty! The owner came over and talked to me for awhile along with the stylist in training to determine what I wanted. Originally I was set to get highlights (again), but they really thought I needed an all over lightning of my hair and then some highlights. It was exactly what I needed! When you walk into the salon, it's hard to believe you are not in Chicago. It is very eclectic in decor, yet there are some great homey touches, like the big pillows by the shampoo bowls. What an added bonus - being able to lean back with some cushioning! It is so NOT a big corporate chain. I really enjoyed my time here and would go back! Check it out! UPDATE - the stylist just called me to see if I still liked my hair while I was out of the salon! She said that her work was guaranteed and she wanted to be sure I was happy. Isn't that great! read more

If you're looking for an affordable, convenient, and relaxing atmosphere to get your hair done this is the place! Everyone was extremely welcoming and it felt like I had been going there for years. Michael was amazing - he took his time, listened to what I wanted, and was pleasant to work with! I will definitely be going back (: read more

I am happy to report that I have (finally) found a salon home in the burbs. I came to Colour Line this spring after reading the reviews on Yelp and was paired with Rosie - I could not be any happier with my hair or my experiences at the salon with Rosie. Rosie is just a wonderful person - her personality is charming, funky, and fun, and I look forward to my visits to the salon just so that I can catch up with her. On top of that, she is a wonderful stylist and always does a fantastic job on my hair. She is knowledgeable about products but doesn't push them on clients. I can ask her about getting new products and get an honest opinion and I am very pleased with the products that I have invested in from the salon. The products are high-quality, but last a long time. I don't mind spending a bit more for a shampoo/conditioner/product if it is good quality and has some longevity. The salon itself very warm and welcoming, decorated in a colorful, eclectic motiff, and they make a mean cup of coffee. Rosie is my girl, but the other stylists and staff are always friendly. read more

I love Colour line. Its a beautiful salon, very hip yet relaxing. The decor is awesome, and the colors of the walls are bright and bold. I go to Lana, who always does a fantastic job on my cut. They carry Bumble and Bumble products, which I also really like. read more

I love the atmosphere of this place. It's eclectic, a little funky, creatively decorated -- basically, not your average hair salon. I hate stuffy salon! Color Line is welcoming and friendly. On a whim I made an appointment with Allyson in 2006 for a hair cut/color and I've never wanted anyone else to touch my hair since. We've got a good thing going on.. Allyson is trendy with new hair coloring and cutting techniques -- I love letting her do whatever she wants to my hair. I see a lot of people recommend her for curly hair... I have straight hair and she makes magic happen. She informs you what products are being put on your hair but is never pushy. I've moved about 40 minutes away but I still make my appointments at Color Line with Allyson. Fact. read more

Was my first time getting my hair cut at this place, and I was beyond happy with the outcome. Your greeted as you walk in, offered something to drink, just very friendly staff. Michael was my hair dresser and did such a great job! He was very informative of what he was doing and informed me of the different products he used on my hair. I highly recommend this hair salon and recommend asking for Michael! Great experience and I will be returning read more

I have curly hair. Now I have a reason to wear it curly. Allyson taught me so much about how to wear my hair curly--the way I want--which is having soft, loose curls. She was able to cut, style, and teach me how to style my hair with minimum effort to get the look I want. It was literally like taking a class on curly hair as I learned so much. She transformed my hair from gel-crunchy curls to soft gorgeous curls that fall perfectly. I can't say enough good words about her other than she is as good at it gets. Colour Line Salon is welcoming, and so friendly. I always hate checking-in at some salons because it feels like you are being judged right as you walk through the door. This is not the feeling I got here. I felt like I belonged there. The woman at the front desk couldn't have been any nicer, and took the time to answer a couple questions that I had. read more

I've loved my hair for many, many years thank to the very talented stylist I see, Amy. Each visit starts with a pleasant receptionist offering me a beverage and then leading me to a changing room to put on a gown. I always leave feeling valued, perfectly coiffed, and calm since the studio has a way of putting me at ease even when it's at the busiest times. Colour Line is worth the drive from Chicago and I would suggest the salon to anyone! read more

It is a vulnerable feeling when you move to a new state and make your first hair appointment. BUT... When you visit Colour Line for the first time, the COLOUR greets you at the door. The abiance is just as welcoming as the stylists and managers. And... get this... the stylists keep their products in tool boxes. Love it. AND... You get $20 off your first hair cut (and if someone referred you they get 20 dollars as well). Which means, on my first visit my hair cut was $16!!! Amber cut my hair and she was excellent. Very down to earth and easy to talk to. I can't wait for my next appointment at Colour Line. I might set it for a few weeks sooner than absolutely necessary. read more

I will never get my hair done anywhere else. They have great customer service, the studio is clean, and they offer refreshments that are fresh and cold. My hair dresser, Ashley, was super nice and understood what I wanted and did it amazingly! I highly recommend coming here. read more

I find it nerve wracking to find a new hair salon for a couple reasons. 1) I have found many salons to be intimidating or they don't take the time to figure out what style will look best on you. 2) It's risky business putting your hair in the hands of a stranger (literally) where you could leave really disliking the cut. And that's just sad when often times it costs an arm and a leg and your hair is one of the first things people notice about you. I had a FANTASTIC first time experience at Colour Line Hair Studio. The environment is fun and modern and all the staff I came into contact with were very professional and very friendly, both of which are very important to me. I felt very comfortable there. They offered me a complimentary bottle of water AND $20 off since I was a fist time customer along with some solid coupons for future visits. My stylist was Tiffany and I LOVED her! She took the time to talk through the style of cut I was considering and I had A LOT of hair that she would be cutting off. She took her time cutting my hair while using unique techniques; she is very knowledgeable and well skilled. I trusted her completely. I left a very happy woman! All in all, Colour Line prioritizes professionalism and excellence on all fronts and I was very impressed and had a great first time experience. I highly recommend this studio and Tiffany as well! read more

I have been going to Colour Line since I moved to Geneva a few years ago. The atmosphere is really warm and inviting. All the staff are friendly and the desk staff are helpful and welcoming. I see Cassie to get my hair cut and colored. She does amazing work. She is really great with dimensional color and is a detailed hair stylist, which I value. They recently changed their product line, which I honestly didn't love (really fragrant, felt like a perfume bottle was dumped on my head), but listened to feedback and brought back a line they had before in addition to the new stuff. Which is a good sign that they listen to their customers! I highly recommend Colour Line, they just do good work! AND I forgot to mention the best part, they are reasonably priced. read more

The salon is clean, we are always greeted warmly by the receptionist, and they always ensure all needs are covered while we wait. I have been going to Lana at Colourline for almost 6 years. She is always consistent and willing to change things up, oh and if you are trying to get an appointment with Lana make sure you book in advanced as she is in demand! She's awesome, and my wife also has her hair done by Lana as well! read more

After 10 years and a lot of $$$ spent , I grew unhappy with my stylist. The prices kept going up but her level of attention decreased. Based on the Yelp reviews I took a chance with Color Line and boy was I glad I did! Prudence is my new stylist and I love her. She makes great suggestions and gives me her undivided attention. and the communication pre, during and post visit is the best. Note to my old stylist - if you're wondering what happened to me and my family try looking at Color line. While you're there I suggest you observe what great customer service looks like. read more

I have been going to Colour Line for at least 6 years now. Everyone there is extremely friendly. When you walk in you're always welcomed by a warm smile, offering to take your jacket and hang it up and a refreshment. I go to Erin and I always am growing my hair out and than cutting it short. No matter what length and style she does I always get compliments on my hair, even from random strangers. :-( Erin left earlier this year and I now am trying Allyson, on Erin's suggestion. read more

I recommend Nicole as a stylist, I haven't tried anyone else because I always love when Nicole does my hair!

Colour Line Hair Salon is fabulous! Having only been familiar with salons in the city for the last decade, and then moving to the suburbs - - I can attest that Colour Line gives them a serious run for their money! Arlene refreshed my hairstyle and gave me a beautiful balyage! Treat yourself to a beverage and a basket of popcorn (such a charming touch), and treat your hair to a new 'do! read more

I've been going to Colourline for a long time. I love what Levi does with my hair, and trust him to do what he wants with it. Very friendly staff and managemeant that make clients feel comfortable and welcome. Haven't thought about going anywhere else. Why mess with a good thing? read more

Please don't believe the Instagram photos. I went in for a balayage and came out blotchy. Kris did take "Instagram worthy" photos even before we noticed the blotches. I went in for a correction and it came out worse than I expected. The best was when she said, "let me look through everything to make sure there are no more blotches." Well, she found one more!! Now I have a large blonde chunk that doesn't resemble a great balayage at all. All in all I would recommend going somewhere else. You shouldn't let clients pay $200 and leave with sub par hair. No refunds at this salon. You couldn't pay me to go back there. read more

How the heck could I not have reviewed Colour Line? I LOVE this place - but I ADORE Levi, the gentleman who cuts my hair. He's beyond awesome. He understand that I have an active life and want a cut that's fantastic but simply to care for, but that's stylish and modern, too. But where Colour Line and Levi stepped up was in identifying issues I was having and couldn't resolve. It turns out that dying your hair for fifteen years isn't really good for it - and that adding product upon product to 'fix' the problem wasn't as smart as I thought. In steps Levi with a great cut and a little honesty and I now have hair that is fun (currently an asymmetrical cut that's purple, pink and orange - but tasteful!) perfectly cut, and wonderfully soft and full of life. Great people. great products - and an awesome LEVI! read more

Nicole is an amazing stylist and the the best colorist I've ever been to. My first time at Colour Line she took my rose-gold/orange hair to lavender and I have total confidence turning my hair over to her for a radical change or just to maintain. She's given me styling tips I wish I'd known my whole life. She's efficient, knows everything about color, and is a true artist. read more

Love love love this salon. I have been seeing Mindy for 3+ years now. She is so personable, remembers details about me, is fabulous with my hair, and listens to me. I love that we can chat or I can read my book while she is foiling my hair. I would HIGHLY recommend Mindy. I love her look, she has tattoos and beautiful hair. (The Progressive Insurance lady Flo reminds me of Mindy :) The atmosphere is unparalleled by any salon I have been to (I have lived in San Diego and Washington DC). I cannot speak highly enough about all of the staff. The receptionist is sdo helpful. They offer you a drink, take your coat and take you to a dressing room to put on a robe/coverup. The decor is beautiful. read more

I have super curly hair and so I went to see Allyson based on recommendations at naturallycurly.com. She did an ok job, but I wasn't blown away like some of the others. I might have given it a second chance if I hadn't found the atmosphere to be overwhelming. The smells from hair color and other solutions is so strong. Also the vibe is very urban and edgy as opposed to relaxing, so the music is louder than I would've liked, the environment is more chaotic. If I only have an hour away from my crazy kids I want to feel totally relaxed and this is not the place for that. read more

I have only had 3 people in my life consistently cut my hair. My husband and I recently moved to the area from Texas. So not only do I have to find someone new to cut my hair I have to get used to the different climate here. I am used to the intense humidity of the east Texas/coastal Texas regions. This change made finding a new person to cut my hair even scarier, because I don't even know my hair anymore! I got a boring trim from another salon at the beginning of June that was so blah. I got no shape from it. I know trims are boring, but they should give some shape back. So this time I decided that I would do a little experiment to see where I would go next. I started emailing salons/ using the contact us option. I listed out the things I needed. The biggest of these was my hair type. I have type 2a/2b curly hair (curly wavy) used to have 2c (big ringlets). (note I was only doing this experiment with salons I found on naturallycurly.com) Not even 24 hours later from sending my contact us email to Colour Line, I got a phone call from Niki. We talked about my hair and what I wanted my hair to do and if I had any hair goals. She suggested since I was new to the area and didn't know anyone that used this salon that I should come in and meet her and we could talk face to face and make sure that we were a good fit. Needless to say I booked an appointment right after our talk. There was no pressure to book. She asked me if I wanted to or if I wanted to think about it a little longer. She even sent me home with samples to try based on what we had talked about The haircut went great! She explained everything she was doing and why (which is one of the things that I loved about my last stylist back home). She showed me easy ways to polish my hair up on those days that air drying wouldn't be enough (aka date night, etc). She also explained different ways I could help out my hair on those days that I air dry. The top of my hair doesn't get much volume even with the waves. I loved getting tips and tricks that suited my 20 minute morning routine. The salon is brightly colored and is hip/homey at the same time. I loved the different type of people that were in there. I went in with nike shorts and t shirt (total college kid look even though I am not). I didn't feel weird at all. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. The only issue is that their chairs are very close to each other so talking to your stylist while she/he is working can be difficult, but it wasn't awful. They offer you a beverage when you walk into the door. It seems like an extremely professional salon. read more

THE BEST FOR NATURALLY CURLY HAIR! I have had the most ridiculous poodle-lookin haircuts with my crazy hair, but NOT HERE! Allyson is the bomb for styling curly hair. She gives you a whole educational experience while getting your hair cut. I found her on naturallycurly.com and soooo glad I did. I would pay $ just to have her give me lessons. I never dyed my hair and at age 33, finally decided to give it a try. She added blond & strawberry highlights that were perfect (not too crazy for the dye-virgin, but super cute). I have gone to places for years and begged them not to blow dry my hair because I always end up looking like I stepped out of an 80's flick. Now, I love the way I look when I come out of the salon. And the salon...beautiful & fun inside, staff super-helpful and polite. Once my babysitter fell through @ last minute and the staff made my 3 rowdy boys (age 3,5,6) popcorn and kept them entertained while I got my hair cut. Great coupons and referral cards. You have to go here if you have naturally curly hair!! Allyson taught me up-do's, how to blow dry right, sexy, professional...all while doing the regular hair cut. read more
