James has always taken care of me over the years and the consistency and quality has never changed…read more I have always had a beautiful cut and have never had to question anything coming out of the salon. my hair always grows back so nice, no one can ever tell if I had highlights or lowlights which I absolutely love and James keeps my hair healthy. It was a process to get my hair to this kind of "natural" level but not having to go in every 3 months to maintain my hair is amazing! I've also had services done by Janet and again- you can't go wrong! she always dyes my brows the perfect color and always takes her time! these two are a pair that can't be beat especially with the quality they provide!

I've known John for year and I still don't like anyone else working on my hair. I struggled with…read morepsoriasis and I was so insecure with my scalp health. He not only helped me out with products that were safe for my skin, he also educated me on how to take care of my hair. He was indispensable in getting my confidence back. He passes the good vibe check too. He used to be the late night barber where we'd hang with our mutual friend until 2AM listening to classic rock and talking into the night. Now I have my out of town friends addicted and requesting to see him when they're around. Moving out of his old, small studio into this well-kept and inviting salon was the best move for everyone. Everyone here is so easy to talk to and helpful. Salon 811 is honestly the only place I trust to take care of us as clients. I drive almost 2 hours to come back here and I won't be changing salons any time soon.

John is a master stylist who knows how to give a great men's haircut. He is very professional, friendly, and attentive to his clients' needs.

I believe the energy of an environment improves the quality of results received. The team is great. I loved the environment and results.

After recommendations from some friends who grew up in Western Springs, I decided to make an…read moreappointment at Dye Hard Salon with Susie. Since living in the Chicago area, I have had my hair done at a few different places, but have never been impressed enough to make any of these salons my "go to" spot. That is until today! I will definitely be returning to Dye Hard, as I am extremely happy with the services I received. First and foremost, making an appointment was effortless. I called on Tuesday and easily secured an appointment for Thursday. I even had an opportunity to speak with Susie, the stylist who was going to be taking care of me. That was cool as I had a chance to introduce myself, tell her how I heard about her, and share with her what I was looking to do at my appointment. So, I had my hair highlighted and trimmed. The color turned out gorgeous. I look sun-kissed and summer ready, without looking over processed. I explained to Susie that I wanted very thin, natural looking highlights. She gave me exactly what I wanted! I have had stylists do what THEY want with my hair, but Susie definitely delivered what I asked for. I also had my hair trimmed. Now, when I say trim, I mean trim! That's what I want, that's why I ask for it. I want the least amount of hair taken off. I can't tell you how many stylists I have had that have taken off inches of my hair, but not Susie! She cut a very small amount off the ends of my hair and kept my length! In my book, one of the greatest qualities a stylist can possess is the ability to listen. Susie listened to what I wanted and delivered with both the color and the cut. Cheers to that! Aside from Susie's skills as a hair stylist, she is also a very sweet person. I enjoyed myself from the time I sat in her chair to the time I exited the salon. She was personable and bubbly and we had a lot to talk about. Excellent hair styling skills paired with a great personality are the perfect ingredients for an amazing experience at a salon. Finally, I was impressed with the owner. He was working alongside Susie, coloring a client's hair. Too cool! An owner that knows his stuff. He also checked on me while I was waiting for my color to process and offered me a refreshment in addition to checking on my color. I like the whole "all hands on deck" vibe I got from Dye Hard, it made me feel like I was in good hands. So, to sum it all up. If you are looking for a salon that offers great service and knows their stuff, I would certainly give Dye Hard a try. If you are a city dweller, Western Springs is only a 30 minute drive and it is worth it! Did I mention that for a full head of highlights and a cut, my bill only came out to $120! I still can't believe that! What a steal for a job well done. If you want to pay out the BoOty for the ambience of a city salon with mediocre services, stick to where you are going. If you would like to venture outside the box and are looking to walk away looking and feeling like a million bucks, drive your patOotie to Western Springs! :)

I was greeted at the front and was taken back at my scheduled time. I appreciated that Jess took her time to understand the look I wanted. The hair wash was wonderful and the hot towel was a nice extra touch. I also appreciated she asked me how I felt about hair spray (for me spray away!) as some guests do not like it. I am now on day 3 of my blow out and while some of the curls fell, the volume has held nicely and it doesn't look greasy yet. Ten friends also offers makeup services and most of the staff do both hair and makeup. Pricing is a little high, but at least the style has lasted for days making it worth the price. I would recommend their services if you have an event to attend. Friendly staff. Street parking is shared with other businesses so it can be a little cramped.
