I never stuck with a particular hair stylist until I met Nichole. She was the first to get my difficult hair to look exactly how I wanted it to. She nails it every time. I don't know how she does what no one else could. Icing on the cake: she's also very friendly and upbeat. Score! ‍ Thanks Nichole! read more

I've been going to Nichole for close to 4 years. I have been incredibly impressed with Nichole at First Class Salon. Not only she gives me an amazing haircut each and every time that perfectly captures the style I am looking for, but she also makes the whole experience enjoyable and pleasant, and at a very reasonable price. She is friendly, attentive, pays attention to little details, and is clearly skilled at her craft. read more

Nichole Monahan is simply the best hair stylist that I have ever had. Her memory is meticulous about what her regular clients like. I come in every other month and just say, "Give me the usual." I get consistently top results at really reasonable pricing (for her "top shelf" styling.) She's definitely not a barber. But, this is where she gets the 6th STAR. My wife just loves the cut I get from Nichole. You know the saying, boys, "Happy wife happy life." read more

Nichole is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable while getting a great cut. Her suite is nice and clean and I love how easy it is to make an appointment online. I would recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a great hair stylist. read more

great hair cut, very friendly service and she cut my hair how I wanted it. Also you can schedule an appointment online

Highly recommend, Nichole is awesome! Went to see Nichole for my first time after reading her reviews on yelp and have found my new stylist! She is very thorough and professional and understood exactly what I wanted! Very clean and comfortable environment and you don't have that awkward waiting room like most chains. Do yourself and hair a favor and go see her! Thank you very much Nichole for your services!! See you soon! read more

Nichole is awesome! After a long series of below average haircuts I'm happy to say that I've finally found a stylist that consistently exceeds my expectations! Despite running a tight ship she always remembers exactly what type of style I like and pays great attention to detail. Her professionalism is obvious and keeps me coming back! read more

Just got another cut with Nicole, and she over delivers as always! There are plenty of places to get a good haircut, but the environment Nicole creates is second to none. She genuinely cares about you and makes you feel like the most important person, and not just another client. I find myself looking for excuses to get a haircut more often because I truly enjoy my time with Nicole, and I know I will always leave her chair looking and feeling 10x better than I did coming in! read more

Nichole is the only person I trust with my hair. She goes above and beyond with her schedule and throughout the appointment. When her schedule was full, she offered to come in before she normally opens so I wouldn't have to wait for another day. As a hair stylist she's fantastic. She asks what I want and takes her time to make sure it turns out exactly how I want it. She remembers what she did months before and even when I want to make a slight change she gets it perfectly right. I'm so glad I found her salon and I plan on going back as long as I can. read more

Nichole is the best. My son had a wild spell and went blue. Lots of damage and major repair was needed. She was able to step in and bring it back to his natural hair color. We will be back! Loyal for life. read more

Nichole is great! For the first time I found some place I want to come back to make my hair again. The place is rather small - but you got everything you need to cut and wash your hair. She did exactly as the way I wanted. Hope to see you next time. read more

Obsessed with getting my hair cut here! Not only do you get a great haircut, you're supporting a small local business. I used to go to places like Great Clips, but I got a different person cutting my hair every time, and I never got exactly what I wanted. Now it's a totally different experience with Nichole! She remembers you, always asks for updates on what you were talking about before, and more importantly, she learns your hair and your style. I come in, get it washed, sit down, and she just starts working on it. No more awkward conversations about "I want a 3 here and a 4 here, and fade here and there." And she gets it great every time! Give her a shot! You won't be disappointed! read more

I found Nichole on Yelp and am glad I did. She is a normal (in such a good way) person with a wonderful personality and great hair cutting skills.

Nicole certainly knows what she's doing! I definitely recommend this place for a great hair cut! read more

Nichole does an amazing job. She is friendly, knowledgable about how to cut men's hair.

Nichole has been cutting my hair for over a year and a half and it's no wonder that I keep going back to her. She built rapport with me over the time that she's been working with me and I don't even need to say a word on how I like my haircut. Now she's on her own and it's a great looking place. Guys, don't be afraid of the salon once you walk in. This isn't a typical salon, Nichole has her own private space, so you're not scared off by being around others while your getting your cut. So, if your looking for a place to get your haircut, check out Nichole. read more

If you are looking for a men's hair stylist that is consistently good at cutting your hair and above all gives the cut that the client wants, then Nicole Monahan is your girl. Nicole runs a private suite at the Phenix Salon Suites in Lake Forest. You get your hair washed, conditioned and then a second rinse after cut. Steamed towels with the final rinse are the best. From the moment you arrive, you have the complete attention of Nicole (she doesn't run multiple appointments). Nicole knows what she's doing and can give you the cut and style you want every time. And the best part is that she has an app called styleseat.com that allows you to book your appointment online and avoid calling for an appointment (no phone tag booking). You'll feel great with your new hair style and feel like a VIP with the thoughtful attention that Nicole gives to each of her clients. read more

First Class Men's Salon doesn't only provide a great haircut, but Nichole offers a very friendly comfortable service. You can get an outstanding scalp massage that will put you to sleep and a hot towel treatment that will remove the stress of the day. A great experience. Additionally I find it very easy to make an appointment and communicate any changes that might come up. Nichole has been cutting my hair for a few years now and I highly recommend her services. read more

Long overdue review. I really can't be more satisfied with the quality hair cut and service I receive from Nicole at First Class.
