I recently starting seeing McKenzie at Fringe for balayage and styling. My experience at Fringe has been wonderful. Everyone from the client service managers to McKenzie to the assistants are extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind. Their covid protocols are clearly stated and followed and the salon itself has a very serene, but cool vibe. McKenzie is extremely mature and meticulous in her work and extremely nice to boot! My daughter who is 3 just saw Sophie for a haircut and Sophie was so wonderful with her and gave a haircut well worth the higher price than we had paid at kids salons. Fringe also sells product lines that I haven't seen available at most other salons and the products are great. Overall, a great experience and highly recommend checking out this gem in the heart of downtown Lombard! read more

I have been going to Fringe for as long as I can remember and have specifically had Felicia as my stylist for the past several years. I can honestly say no one does color better than Felicia! After moving to the city and trialing a new stylist who was closer to home, I quickly learned that good hair is worth the 45 minute drive out to Fringe! Felicia consistently makes my blonde hair look both natural, fresh, and bright. She is up to date with all of the latest techniques and has always followed through with exactly what I've asked for. I highly recommend Felicia! Also, I can count on every Fringe experience to be both positive and relaxing. The salon is adorable and you truly feel spoiled after leaving! I look forward to many more years of great hair at Fringe! read more

I had an excellent experience at Fringe. McKenzie exceeded my expectations. During the pandemic, I waited too long to get my hair done. I got a balayage and cut. McKenzie was able to lift the previous black dye from my hair and color it a vibrant red. I'm in love with my new hair. Highly recommend to friends and family. Also, the salon did an excellent job sanitizing and keeping clients spaced out. When I walked in, they provided hand sanitizer and took my temperature. Everyone was wearing a mask. When it was time to put color in my hair, the salon provided a extra mask so mine would not get ruined. read more

I loved my experience at Fringe! We were a wedding party of 10 and they were able to get us in and out in less than 3 hours! I was really impressed by the speed and talent of the staff. They have an upstairs space that we had to ourselves. They take your temperature before enter and all staff were following safety procedures. They clean the booths very thoroughly before the next customer uses it. I don't live in Lombard, but would definitely recommend Fringe for your wedding day. read more

Been going to Janelle since this salon opened and could not be happier. This salon has the deva curl system and product which I think has helped my hair over the years. Treat yourself to a facial upstairs and you will not be sorry. Always such a pleasure to spend time pampering myself. The whole staff is trained so everyone basically has the same habits of doing things. That way if your normal stylist is booked, you can have another person work with you. Very good product and a wonderful place to go to in downtown Lombard. Follow this salon on social media to keep updated regarding teen days, specials etc. Everyone I send is always so happy. read more

I have been overdue for a new look when the pandemic hit and I patiently waited and booked an appointment for a cut and balayage with McKenzie. It was absolutely worth the wait! McKenzie did an amazing job bringing life to my hair and I couldn't be happier! The team at Fringe also did a great job of keeping the salon clean and sanitized during my visit there. I was constantly noticing the staff walking around sanitizing chairs and stations as well as refilling hand sanitizer. Everyone was wearing masks and clients were spaced out. Temperatures were also checked at the door. I am looking forward to my next visit! read more

This is an adorable salon where you feel pampered the second you walk through the door. It is on the main strip of downtown Lombard, very near to the train station. It has an awesome loft feel to the shop, and is very reasonably-priced for the service that you get as well! They offer a variety of services, but I went there for a haircut with Delilah and loved the experience. If you are a new client, they have lots of great coupons so that you can try them out. You get a welcome kit for your first visit, and it contains coupons for your next 3 visits so you can get a good feel for the place. And if you have friends looking for a new stylist, you get $20 referral bonus AND they get $20 off their first visit too! When you get a trim, it includes the shampoo and an awesome scalp massage so you can really relax and enjoy. The products they use left my hair feeling soft and amazing, and I loved the cut! Delilah really took the time to listen to what I was going for and I felt did a fantastic job. You could tell she really paid attention to every detail during the trim to make sure it was just right, and then she styled it for me and showed me a ton of tricks to get it to look cute at home too, as well as an awesome new product I'm already loving (and which they gave me a coupon for too!). Overall, a fantastic experience and I will definitely be going back to Delilah for more cuts in the future. Highly recommended! read more

I'm very low maintenance and don't like to spend a lot of money on myself- the one exception is allowing Ms Felicia to do my hair. She is amazing with color and she listens to you and what you want. She isn't pushy at all and wants to do her best for you. You know she is good because every time I go there she is mentoring new stylists. She does amazing work and I've always walked out overjoyed. I have a lot of hair so it takes awhile but it breezes by with her- she is so fun to talk to and has such great energy- I've seen the other stylists do work too and my goodness they are all so talented. You can't go wrong coming to Fringe!! read more

I had the BEST experience at fringe yesterday! Sophie gave my virgin dirty blonde hair a cool blonde balayage and it turned out amazing! The salon checked everyone's temperature as we went in, and everyone was very patient and friendly!:) highly recommend! read more

Michelle is the absolute best! I had eye surgery and could not wash my hair for a week. In desperation, I called Fringe on a SATURDAY for a same-day wash appointment, and Michelle graciously squeezed me in. She was so kind! I am extremely grateful for her generosity. read more

I had a devacut here today and I regret it. It's completely uneven, she chopped my hair off and it took so long to grow it out. She did not retain my length and she didnt show me how much she was cutting. I regret my decision so much. read more

I had my first Deva cut with Jen and am so happy with the results! I was a little nervous about trying something so different, but Jen knew exactly what I was wanting, and she suggested with my curly hair that a Deva cut would get me the results I was hoping for. She was right, and I love my hair again! I am actually going back this week for highlights and can't wait. The salon is beautiful, the staff are all very friendly, and Jen is an amazing stylist! I would highly recommend, especially for the Deva cut for the curly girls! read more

I LOVE fringe. I go to Sarah and she does an amazing job. Everytime I get my hair done I'm so happy with how it turns out. I've gotten a balayage twice and highlights with balayge once. I'd recommend Sarah and Fringe to anyone looking for a great color and cut! read more

I came here after my stylist retired, and was (as to be expected), very nervous with trying a new place. My fears were unfounded. My stylist Kelsie instantly made me feel at home and took great care to make sure that I was part of every decision making process. I had zero worries during my entire experience and loved my haircut. Fringe is one of those places that manages to be upscale and classy without the slightest bit snooty. I made my next appointment with no hesitation. Highly recommended! read more

I go to Fringe for Deva Cuts and balayage color and I'd definitely recommend it. I have 3b curls and haven't always had luck with people cutting it, but Jen does a great job, especially matching the pictures I bring in. One time I wanted something changed slightly after a cut, and Jen was happy to make that happen. They're very accommodating. I get so many compliments on my cut and color after going to Fringe. I also love that they're a zero-waste salon, conveniently located, nice atmosphere, and they have yummy baked goods :) One suggestion: book in advance, as Deva cuts book up fast! read more

this salon is lovely and jen is amazing!! so sweet and helpful, i came in today for my first devacut and i love it!!!! would highly recommend seeing jen if you are looking for a great devacut :) read more

So, I kinda cheat on my regular hairstylist (who happens to be my friend) with Kelsie. I was referred to Fringe (by Robin) and I'm so glad I found this little gem! Kelsie takes the time to listen to what I'd like, offer suggestions, and seems methodical about her craft. I always leave happy because she gets it right every time. The only downside is that I have to come up with excuses when I actually do see my friend! The salon itself is very warm and welcoming and the staff are super friendly! The prices are competitive. Highly recommend! read more

Had an updo and airbrush makeup done for a wedding. I felt awesome about how I looked and I had lots of compliments. The makeup looked so good and my hair had the perfect soft loose look but stayed perfect all day. Thank you. read more

I moved to the area not too long ago and decided to try out Fringe based on the good reviews, even though none of them were very recent. It was so easy to schedule an appointment on the website and add in comments about what kind of service/ hair style I was looking for! I wasn't familiar with any of the stylists so I just requested the first available for the day and time I was looking for. I got a message not too long after saying I would be put with a different stylist who would better suit the service I was looking for- great! They even offered to fit me in sooner but unfortunately I was unavailable. Upon checking in I got a nice little welcome package with a coupon I could even use that day! Kelsie was my stylist and she knew exactly what to do with my brassy blonde bayalage that I was tired of trying to maintain and explained how we could start to get back to my natural color for less future maintenance- my wishes exactly! I was so happy that she was able to get my roots back to my natural color while still keeping some of the blonde. Will definitely be back and highly recommend! read more

Fringe Salon Experience - Kelsie helped me get back to my natural color and tame the brass! - Hair Salons Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

This salon is beautiful. Very modern and chic. Courteous and friendly staff and stylists. Felicia gave my five year old a deva cut, and she did a wonderful job. My little one talks a lot and Felicia was so nice and answered all of her questions. We left with an awesome cut, a better understanding of how to take care of her curly hair, and some great products. Highly recommend. Excited to go back for myself! read more

Fringe Salon Experience - Layla's awesome deva cut by Felicia - Hair Salons Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

I'm in love with this salon. They are amazing at what they do. This place really pampers you, and makes sure you're comfortable. I'll update my review when I am finished up here. read more

On a whim, I called Fringe today for a walk in appointment. I had read good things about them in a Glen Ellyn Moms FB page. Amazingly, I secured an appointment with Lila at the last moment. I was greeted warmly, no "salon attitude" here at all. I got a great cut, a FABULOUSLY relaxing shampoo, product info and coupons for return visits and friends. I have already given one coupon to a friend looking for a new salon for a cool dye job. All in all, a wonderful experience with everyone I met today. I will definitely be back! read more

Not a great experience. I paid $95 (before tip) for a "deva cut and transformation" that was nowhere near worth the cost! I've been to Penny Lane in Chicago many times but was looking for somewhere closer to home in the western burbs. I looked at Fringe's website and reviews and thought that they looked like they knew how to work with curls so I was excited. I do know what a real deva cut and style is, as I've been to Penny Lane many times before. I went through the whole process with Fringe of sending in photos and spoke with someone to go over what I wanted. So far so good. But when I got there with my hair in it's curly state as requested, the dry cut was only about 15 minutes! I hadn't had my hair cut for awhile so I think it should've taken a bit longer to make sure it was cut evenly and with each curl - isn't that why you pay so much more for the Deva cut process?! Next I went through the deva shampoo/condition process and I asked lots of questions. Most weren't answered as knowledgeably as I would've liked. Mind you, I've really researched curly hair and all the latest curly processes online, as I'm trying to bring out my best curls through the cut and styling process. The stylist at Fringe only knew the basic Deva info that I learned 8 years ago. I had made it clear from my phone conversation when booking that I don't use Deva products but wanted a thorough tutorial to refresh my memory of the curly girl process. After scrunching the products in, I was set under a dryer for 45 minutes. Alone. No scrunching, no clips, no upside down adjustments for body, no diffusing to "scrunch" in more curl as it dries. Well I coulda done that myself at home. Actually I do more styling at home! The end result was hair looked barely wavy and flat. The stylist even said that it wasn't anywhere near as curly as when I came in! I was so disappointed I didn't know what to say. I was hoping to get good information about styling my hair to bring out the curls, but what I got was heavy hair from too much products, less curls and no new styling help. I'm very disappointed and won't be paying for another deva cut from Fringe. I'd recommend Penny Lane in a heartbeat. Looks like I'll be going back into the city for my curly hair cuts! read more

I have had my hair cut and colored done by Michelle (salon owner) for about 15 years now. She ALWAYS does an absolutely amazing job. My son gets his hair cut by Joni who also does a fantastic job. The staff are very friendly and the salon is beautifully designed with relaxation in mind!! Fringe is a new salon, but the stylists have many years of experience and are very talented!!! LOVE this place!! read more

I've had a great experience at this salon. My stylist Jen completely transformed my curls. I've been in and out of different salons only to get the same bad results! With the use of deva curl products and Jens professional help I am able to have my curls back to life and be able to color with minimal damage! Definitely recommend for curly hair! But you also need to take care of your curls at home. read more

So happy I found this salon. I made an appointment for a Deva Cut and my stylist was Lyla. She did a wonderful job and I can't wait to go back to her again. Not only did I get a great hair cut, but she also taught me how to condition and style my hair. read more

Cut, color, blow dry... These awesome and talented stylists do it all and so very well. Fringe is a beautiful space on the corner of Park & St Charles in Lombard. I personally love sitting at the 'Color Bar' while they make me feel beautiful by getting rid my 'halo'. read more

Fringe Salon Experience - The front door at Fringe. They are waiting for you just on the other side! - Hair Salons Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Truly a great experience. First time Deva Cut with Jen. I've used Deva Curl products for several years but I've never had a Deva Cut by a professional. Jen knew a lot about curly hair and what products to use on my hair. She made me feel comfortable and I liked the result. I'll go back to have her cut my hair again. read more

I have been going to Fringe Salon in Lombard since October of 2019 and I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else! Felicia is truly an absolute artist when it comes to hair. I have NEVER left the salon upset or disappointed because Felicia always does my hair exactly how I wanted when I walk in. She is very thorough in her explanations, she's caring and very thoughtful. I recommend her to anyone whenever I get questions about my hair. 20/10 experience whenever I'm there. I love this place and I love Felicia! read more

Be careful. They overbook and if you are 15 mins late they charge you 25. Stylist told me one start time. Hair salon had me down for 15 mins earlier. So many other salons in area to try and with friendliness and kindness from start to finish. To fringe's response that I choose not to stay. I did stay. I paid for color and late fee. I know I've waited for appointments with them so I hope if others have to wait they get 25 off their service. As everyone's time is valuable not just the double booked stylist. And my other cancellation mentioned was due to a medically fragile child. read more

​I can not put into words how amazing my hair cut ended up!! Jen did a great job working with my mop of curls and turned them into an absolutely flattering STYLE. And, the coloring she did is beyond amazing! The Deva cut is totally worth the money. Jen is a curly girl too, so she understands how curls work. People have always said I have nice hair, but now I FEEL like I have great hair! Beyond a doubt, I will return to Jen! read more

Lyla is great. I always leave happy with my look. There's even been a few times I've reached out to her on social media for a recommendation and she has always answered me. For a first time client over a year ago, I received a goodie bag of coupons to use on my first couple of visits. AMAZING! Anyone who has curly hair, I recommend Lyla. I went through life getting bad hair cuts because the stylists aren't familiar with curly hair. No more! The salon is also so cute and welcoming and the area it's in is also so cute. I never had a hard time finding a place to park on the street. read more

Had my first deva cut by jen! She was amazing and took the time to explain everything to me; from what is a deva cut to what products she was applying to my hair and how to care for my hair at home. The salon was super clean! Definitely recommend to anyone that has curly hair and is looking for a way to care for it! read more

I love Fringe! There is nothing better than finding a stylist that just gets you- Kelsie at Fringe is that person for me. I have never in my life trusted my stylist with entire control of my hair before now. She listens, she gives feedback, and is beyond talented! Every time I feel like myself again, and there is nothing more you can ask for from a Stylist. This place is such a gem. Every person that I have met is so sweet- their customer service is top notch! You get exactly what you pay for, high quality service and products. Invest in your hair, you will thank yourself for it! read more

I just left from my appointment and I cannot rant enough about how happy I am! I got a Deva Cut by Felicia and my curls look amazing! She did a great job at breaking down how to style my hair and tips I can use to refresh my hair the next day. When I walked in the door she was so nice and had an amazing personality! Everyone in the salon was so welcoming and I truly wish I could take Felicia back to San Diego with me! Haha! Thanks again for making my hair look beautiful read more

I have wavy hair that I struggled with blow drying & straightening for years because I didn't know how to deal with it. However, when I started going to Janelle at Fringe, she encouraged me to wear it natural & showed me how to do so! I have now been going to Janelle for the last few years, and I always leave happy! I would recommend Fringe (and especially Janelle) to everyone! read more

McKenzie was an absolutely awesome hair stylist! I was uncertain of what I wanted and never put color in my hair before and she gave me exactly what I asked for. She talked with me and explained everything she was going to do. Will absolutely be returning for all my hair needs! read more

Nichole ( Nick) did my hair for a wedding I was going to. I wanted a simple blowout, maybe some waves... I came out looking like a drowned mermaid. I'm too embarrassed to post the actual picture of how I looked, but when I sent the picture to my friend she said I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower and towel dried my hair. I specified I have very thin hair, and would require some kind of product to lift it. Nichole put some greasy product in that made my hair limp and wet looking. She was obviously not very experienced and I had to wash my hair and do it myself before leaving for the wedding. I wouldn't recommend this stylist. read more

I made an appointment at this salon based on the positive reviews I read. My experience was better than expected. I made the appointment online, and received a quick response and answered some questions they had about my hair. I actually went in for a cut and perm, so it was a long appointment, about 4 hours. My stylist Jen was great. She took her time making sure everything was done correctly, did a great perm and cut, and didn't make me feel like I had to purchase products (which made me want to try some new products, which I purchased) Customer service was top-notch. They offered coffee or water, the staff was friendly to all the customers, they try to make sure you have everything you need. The free wi-fi was helpful while waiting for the processing, and gave my daughter something to do while she waited. The prices for services were fair, not outrageous like some other salons I have been to. I will definitely be back, and will recommend Fringe to others. read more

My hair had been massacred at another salon. Normally, I'd just let the crap grow out, but since I'm starting a new job on Monday, I thought it'd be best to clean it up. I made an appointment with Joni. She did a fabulous job, and I'll be back. She cleaned up all of the uneven ends, and my hair just flows now. It's a really good cut. I like the location in downtown Lombard, I like the clean look of the inside, and I love the super comfortable chairs by the wash bowl. read more
