Lola is a gem of a hair salon in downtown Geneva. From the beginning, you're greeted and welcomed…read moreand made to feel comfortable. They will talk to you about what you want and not force a style on you. They'll learn about your habits so they'll know if a style will work for you. I love the funky decor, and Katherine has done wonders with my short hair which I thought was hard to style. She showed me how to style it so I no longer have one good hair day a month (salon day) because I can replicate my 'do at home! Their products are great - my hair has never looked better - and they are very eco-friendly. Also, I look forward to their monthly newsletter because it's not just about staff, products, and hot styles, but lots of inspiration and life tips from Gina! I highly recommend this salon!

This place rules…read more First, a confession: I've been dying my own hair for years. The last time I went somewhere to get my hair done I left in tears - the chick totally ruined my hair. Fast forward years later, my hair is in need of a cut and color and I just didn't feel up to it. A friend of mine told me about Lola ( specifically Meghan), and I was feeling saucy and had a babysitter, so I called and booked an appointment. I ended up getting there too early, so I got some work done while I waited. It has a nice cool vibe there, and they feature jewelry to buy from local artists - how cool is that? Meghan is an adorable tall irish chick. She may or may not be an elf from Lord of the Rings. I'm not sure, because her skin is flawless and i'm pretty sure she doesn't age. She's a lot friendlier and happier than the elves from LotR though, so who knows. I told her of my past experience, and she made me feel comfortable right away. As I sat in the side room, tin foil in hair, hair cooking, thinking of the movie Signs, I got to sip a glass of red wine. I didn't even have to smuggle it in, they have wine for their customers. After your hair is rinsed out and shampooed they put conditioner in and then cover your head with a hot towel to help the conditioner soak in. While the hot towel is on you get a hand massage. The hand oil they have is awesome, it soaks in right away and made my hands feel super soft. As someone who constantly applies hand lotion, I was super impressed. After my hair was rinsed out I got to see it - and I loved it! It was exactly what I wanted. I felt SO relieved and happy that I went to Lola. As Meghan finished up by cutting my hair I watched the digital frame on her desk. The slideshow included Christine Hendricks and Karen Gillan, so Lola immediately gets 100 points for including Joan AND Amy Pond. I love how my hair turned out, and it's all thanks to Meghan. I'm so glad I decided to go to Lola and didn't let that other place deter me from all salons forever. Meghan, you are a lifesaver! If you call to book an appointment, ask for her, she rules. The guy working behind the counter was super nice too - even when you show up early enough to get some work done (free wifi for customers, woo!)

Rose is the absolute best! She has been cutting my hair since I was a child and I have never been…read moredisappointed. Whether you are here for a simple trim or going full out with highlights, a cut, and more, you can be sure that you will be taken care of. While Rose is usually quite busy, she will always do her best to make room in her schedule for you. I don't live in IL anymore, but whenever I come back to visit family, I always make sure to stop and see Rose. I don't trust any other hairdresser with my hair. I had been getting my hair cut the same way for so long. But, I recently decided to try something new and get highlights. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted so Rose dyed and styled my hair for me. The result was absolutely perfect. I have never been happier with my hair. Definitely recommend Gossip Salon, as the interior is quite chic and everyone is so nice. If you come here though, be sure to see Rose!!

Rosemarie is the best hairstylist! I'm always getting compliments on my hair and it's all thanks…read moreto the best hairstylist in the world. I was actually at a Yelp event once just having a good old time when someone behind me tapped me on my shoulders to tell me how great my highlights were. She wasn't even part of the Yelpers (just a restaurant patron) and was telling me that she is a hairdresser herself and she can spot a great highlight job when she sees it (that sounded redundant). I was so flattered! Rosemarie is usually booked up so I know I have to call in advanced to get an appointment. She is worth the wait, though! When I was out of the country, I had to go to another hairstylist because I couldn't hold out any longer (I waited 4 months!!) and it was a mess. I went back to her as soon as I got back to have the disaster fixed. Her prices are amazing!! AMAZING! Men's haircut is $20, Woman's haircut is around $40 and color varies depending on the hair length. For the haircut, she shampoos, cuts, blow dries, and then texturizes. She's an expert colorist and I've seen some of her clients that came from other salons to have their color fixed because it was a mess. She works at Gossip Salon, but you can call her direct line to make appointments - 630-307-0808.

The most recent visit was not meeting her idea of her style. It was cut too short - matronly that she does not need. I recommended that she complain. This led to a discussion about getting compensation for over cutting her hair.

Shoulder length is her style and appropriately so. She doesn't want me to complain but I'm complaining. Make it right!

This is not the first time Brittany has colored my hair incorrectly, and I am very disappointed. I…read morechose to give her another opportunity because she had done my hair correctly in the past, but unfortunately, the result was once again not what I requested. My hair was highlighted incorrectly and turned platinum blonde, which I never asked for. It appeared to be over-processed, or the wrong toner was used. I typically require a level 9 toner, and it's clear that was not applied. Because of how poorly the service turned out, I had to find another salon open on a Sunday to correct it, as it was not suitable for work. At this point, I am requesting a refund due to the repeated issues and the additional time and expense required to fix the mistake.
