Fast, friendly service. I was a walk-in and was still done quickly. Aneta, the stylist was humorous and asked if I wanted the blue Mohawk for Independence Day. Yes, yes I do. But as a 50something business leader, I may want to pass this time. Let's discuss the real highlight though. Candy! As a treat for not crying while getting my haircut, I was permitted to take a lollipop. The orange ones are best. read more

See all

Aneta is great! She's fun, is great at cutting hair and also does excellent, natural looking color and at a reasonable price! I can't recommend highly enough! read more

I met Sandra at Mariano's. She is such a sweetheart. She mentioned she cuts hair. I normally would go to my regular stylist but decided to go here. Sandra cut my hair beautifully. I have very short hair. My regular stylist charges $85. I was only charged $20 at Hot Cuts. I will definitely go back. read more

I have been having my hair cut almost a decade by Aneta and Alex-very friendly and fun barbers. I never had to wait long. I was always able to call ahead with no problems, and they keep their work space clean and organized. I always walk away satisfied with their amazing work and feeling like a new fresh man! read more

My family has been going to the Wilmette Hotcuts for about 20 years. My two kids had their first haircut there and will continue to go there. Annnette has cut mine and their hair every time and will always go to her. She is fantastic and her haircuts are great. You won't be disappointed, believe me. read more

Hot Cuts - Aneta in action! It's fantastic! - Hair Salons Near Me - Wilmette, Illinois

DO NOT GO HERE! My brother got a haircut with Alex and was furious when he got home. He specifically asked for Alex NOT to cut off the top because he's growing his hair out. He only wanted a lineup on the sides. Just the sides. Next thing you know the barber starts using his thinning shears to cut off the top. My brother has been growing out his hair for months now! All that waiting for nothing!!! Now he has to wear a hat everyday! Let's cross our fingers that his hair grows back before prom/graduation time. read more

I made an appointment for my 86 year old dad at Hot Cuts in wilmette. My son took my dad for the haircut appointment and they did NOT honor the appointment and were rude to him. Alex was the hair stylist who was rude and unpleasant. My poor dad waited and then got tired and left with my son. It is hard for him to walk and they treated him badly because he is old. I am writing this so that people should know they cannot get away by being rude and disrespectful to older folks. read more

Been going here for years. Excellent service and a great cut for sure. Personally I'm horrible at telling a barber or stylist what I want exactly, but they always get what I want! I get a cut that's definitely costs much more money at other salons but with same result. read more

I highly recommend Hot Cuts on Skokie Blvd. in Wilmette. My family has repeatedly gone there for a few years now and their service is top notch! They give you exactly the haircut you ask for and do extras for the kids... Like washable hair color for fun. Aneta does AMAZING work and always goes the extra mile for you. If you want a place that treats you like family, has great prices and great service, look no further. read more

I always bring my kids to see Aneta at Hot Cuts. She does awesome job with their hair and keeps it fun. Kids love to see Aneta and I let them get a touch of color at the end of each visit (spray paint); there is a trunk of toys at the salon which makes it easier with two kids. My mom and my husband also come here. Aneta does her cut and color and Alex does his hair. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommended! read more

Love Aneta! She cuts my hair and both of my parents' hair too. Not only are her skills superb but she has a great personality too!

Very clean, relaxed atmosphere. There is one very energetic guy there who will make non-stop small jokes (can be annoying to some, i'd imagine but I didn't mind it). People work there are very friendly, looks like an eastern european (polish) family ran business. Great haircuts -- very reasonably priced at 15$. I literally have been to the chain haircut stores such as supercuts or great clips and the person will do exactly the opposite of what I just told them. Worst part is, I felt like I am obligated to tip even after a terrible haircut. so i am happy to find this place. read more

Very friendly, clean and professional. Hot cuts is less expensive then fancy salons; however, the quality of the service offered is uncompromising. Waiting time is within reason. Aneta, Kim and the rest of the team are always welcoming, and prompt. Although the place is not kids specific, my boys both enjoy getting their hair-cuts here . . . incl the lollipops. Highly recommend ! read more

I've been going here for years and have always been happy. This is not a schedule in advance place, maybe the reviewer from San Francisco reviewed the wrong place. You can call in the morning to be given a time. Most clients are walk in. People have their favorites, but you can take whoever is available when you walk in, have a wait, or come back another time. I will continue to go there as long as I can. Great haircut, great price. read more

I really enjoy my haircuts here. Alex does an amazing job at listening to what you want and then delivering just that. I have had many horrible haircuts in the past at other salons so I'm glad I've finally found a salon that listens to what I want. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a quality haircut without all of the fancy additions. You just go in, get a haircut, and leave. All for a very reasonable price too! read more

I'm new to the area and looking for a place to take my kiddos for haircuts, that isn't kiddie. The staff was pleasant, we got in and out in a decent time. They offered my daughter to spray color in her hair and she loved it. However, the reason I put 3 stars - they did not sweep up after each haircut. It grossed me out to watch my girls walk over about 3 persons cut hair on the floor. It grossed me out to watch the stylist walk over the hair too. It was a game changer for me and I don't know if I'll go back. read more

I have been coming to see Aneta for a few years and she always does a great job on a haircut and always strikes up a conversation!

I drive over an hour to get me hair colored and cut. Tired of driving I got a recommendation from a co work for Aneta at Hot Cuts. Have been there twice. Very friendly,clean and she did a great job both times for fit and color. I would recommend this place for anyone. read more

Came here probably 6 years ago 1st time. Fell in love with the people and their great personalities while cutting hair. The social atmosphere of this place is alive through Aneta and her gift of great servicing and friendly relations through the years of doing a fantastic job. And the price is beyond reasonable. Wait times are always short, recommend calling advance to avoid causing delays for others ! read more

I've been a customer here for years (at least 12 maybe more). I know everyone that works here. Aneta is the owner and she is wonderful. When I walk in I am always greeted like a friend. The price of the haircuts cannot be beat. The quality, professionalism and quality of the staff, the cuts, the stylists, everything is unprecedented. I will be a client forever. read more

Anneta is the best. Great haircut, great price and a great person!!

Best place to get your hair cut on the North Shore!! I have been going to Aneta for years and she is awesome!! Never too long of a wait, very clean, comfortable and everyone that works there is very friendly. Also very reasonably priced. read more

While we had some good and cheap haircuts, I have found them to be incredibly unprofessional. Only take appointments day of (not an issue) but either very late, take others before or last time not honored with lots of attitude . Haircut is 4 stars but they get 2 for how you are treated. I realize this is inexpensive but not worth it. I just read through other reviews and seems this is a consistent issue read more

Love the area so much!! Amazing salon and amazing service! Always go there to get my hair done for parties or just for myself. Staff is super friendly! I got my highlights done not to long ago and I am in love with them till this day!! If you need your hair done or eyebrows threaded hot cuts is the best in town. read more

Like the bar in Cheers, this is the place "where everybody knows your name." My family has been coming here for years now and it we treasure it. We came for the low price and we stayed for the great stylists. It is convenient and you can get a great haircut and color for a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere. There is a stylist for everyone and all ages are welcome. read more

The best haircut I have ever got in the chicago land area. Very reasonable and great service. Alex did an outstanding job with my hair cut.

This place is tacky...I apologize for accidentally parking in your customer lot. But the lady that came out to bark at me was so rude! Funny thing was...I was in need of a haircut badly but their poor customer left me with little to be desired. That's not how you do business in Wilmette. Clearly I was in the wrong but it could have been approached differently. I manage a reputable spa right down the road and will do everything I can to sway people away. Yes, I am that offended. read more

Aneta has been cutting my hair since I was a baby. She's an amazing stylist, and really knows what she's doing. Plus, she's rescued my hair from my at-home coloring mistakes MULTIPLE times! I love this place. I won't let anyone else touch my hair! read more

Came here an waited for 10-15 minutes. The work station to get your haircut opened up. I stood up and this other women just walked in and she got served before me. Maybe she made an earlier reservation? Still they should tell me an estimated wait time. read more

This place is really terrific. Great people, very friendly, excellent group of professionals!

Terrible! Both the cuts and the service. They hung up on me three times today when I called to ask a couple questions about color and appointments. read more

I really wanted this local place to work, but had similar problems to some other reviews: 1) Hair everywhere - all over the floor, even in the waiting area. Grossed me out and had to keep telling my kids to keep their stuff off the floor. Yuck! 2) Three (yes THREE!!) people were served ahead of me after we got there and had already waited for 45 min! I even called ahead! They could have told me over the phone that there would be a 1 hour wait. I wouldn't have wasted my entire morning (doesn't work well with toddlers). Finally we just left and one stylist gave a very insincere apology ("I'm sorry but we're busy!") and then whispered about me to her client about how some people just don't understand when they're busy. VERY RUDE! Find an appointment/walk-in system that's fair and communicates to customers openly! Not that I'll be returning to experience it... read more

Decent haircut for a good price, walk-ins welcome

I've been going to Hot Cuts for years and it's a great place. Great haircuts at an economical cost. The stylists are friendly & fun, and give a haircut that would cost much more elsewhere. And unlike other low-cost salons, they don't have high stylist turn-over and isn't a practicing ground for new stylists . If fact they don't any turn over all. Annetta, Sandy, Rudy and Kim have there for years so they are highly-skilled and experienced stylists, but at a reasonable cost. read more

A pleasant place with a positive vibe. I been getting my hair cut (variations on a classic bob) here for a few years and I've always been happy with the result. read more

Alex does a great job however the last two times I called for an appointment and was confirmed, I was passed over by a walk-in customer. That's fine but don't take appointments then. read more

The salon staff is very friendly and staff is always ready to get you in and out especially when you schedule is very tight. I have been getting my hair (or what's left of it ) cut by Aneta for over 7 years now and she has never missed a beat on getting me taken care of with my busy schedule. Thank Hot Cuts. JK read more
