I received a wonderful full highlight from Amy. She is a kind and wonderful person. So talented at what so does. I went following a suggestion for a friend and I'm sure pleased with the work. I would highly recommend making an appointment and stopping by. read more

The price for a hair cut and highlights was not quoted ahead of time and the quality did not match the price of $150. I thought it odd the salon operator did not say the price aloud but simply showed me the amount. Was it because the boss was a few feet away and would have known this was not the right price? read more

Janice cut my hair perfectly, she added highlights that softened my face (and covered the gray). I have fussy hair, thin and dry. Great cut and color. This is a Cool Salon- Win Win. Love this salon. read more

What a fun place to go! Hot Heads is more than just a "cool salon"-- it's a neighborhood gem. It reminds me of the beauty parlor that Dolly Parton's character ran in the movie "Steel Magnolias". Get your cape on, grab a cup of coffee and settle in! We recently commandeered the place on my daughter's wedding day. Janis, the owner and the talented artist whose works adorn the salon walls, gave me an updo so secure that it not only lasted all day and night, but even survived my family's traditional wedding dance, Gatoring, which involves writhing on the floor (yes, really). For "regular stuff" the team there is equally talented. For years Janis has kept my tresses a beautiful red that no one ever realizes isn't natural. She's seen me grow from a short bob to below the shoulders. Janis's daughter Tina does amazing eyebrows and really has a finger on the pulse of what younger clients like. Seriously, make an appointment. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

One of the worst things about moving out of state was having to find a new hair salon. Janis, Tina and the team are great - conversational, down to earth, and capable across a wide range of styles and techniques. For my wedding, my bridal party all had our hair styled here, and everyone's hair looked wonderful AND stayed put all night. I've been going to this salon since I was a teenager and still go back to get a trim and catch up when I'm in town at the holidays. Would recommend! read more

I apologize for my review being a little late but with a new hair color I like to wait a week or two to see if I really like it and see if the color stays... Then I forgot.. Oops!! My bad! I feel really bad too because Sarah was AWESOME and she did a GREAT job!! I bought a LivingSocial deal because my normal salon is downtown and up a bunch of stairs and I can't do that right now for health reasons. I have tried a few places now until I can go to my beloved stylist, but no one can or will do what I want, until now!! I brought in a few pictures again to show what I was looking for and Sarah said not a problem. I thought "Yeah, heard that before..." But she was SO nice and kept up conversation the whole time and My hair was PERFECT!! EXACTLY what I wanted!!! I asked right away what the price would be for next time and was astounded at how reasonable it is even without the deal! I will definitely be back again to see Sarah and I recommend you call you up too if you're looking for someone! :-) read more

Hot Heads A Cool Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

See all

Janice and her team are terrific! Salon service at Supercuts prices.

Just a decent experience for me here. Walked in for an eyebrow wax. It was cheap, yes...but I wasn't super happy with the results. When I asked her to "clean it up a little bit," after the first run seemed to need some fine-tuning she cut a little chunk of of my brow with small scissors instead of plucking. Seemed odd and the effect was not at all what I wanted. It was very noticeable to me. I don't usually stray from my normal salon, was just looking for a quick fix in my neighborhood...and I don't think I would revisit after my one not-so-impressive trip. The salon has been in business for a while in this location, I believe, however; so, clearly, they have their clients that are happy here and return. Salons are just so personal to each person. This just wasn't a place for me! read more

My family and I are fans. We live close by which helps and we have always gotten better cuts than we had in mind. The prices are super. I don't see how they get by charging such a great rate. My son likes Sarah the best. She has been cutting his hair since middle school and I like Tina. She always listens and does a better job than my poor directions can explain. The staff know us by our first names. read more

I am not the easiest of customers....but I have nothing bad to say about Hot Heads! I found this salon and Sarah because of Groupon and I have never looked back. It is a small family owned and operated business and they treat you like family....casual and laid back. The offer top of the line products and stand behind what they sell you. They are open and honest and their prices are fair. Love Hot Heads! read more

I love Hot Heads! I bought a Groupon for a cut/color last year and I am hooked. The salon is wonderful, friendly, funky, affordable, and relaxing. The stylists are all talented, especially Sarah! I usually get a hair cut and color and I always love the results. I recently moved out of state, but I schedule my hair cuts when I visit WI... that's how much I love this place! read more

I chose Hot Heads because a co-worker strongly recommended it. She even gave me a referral coupon. I have to say, I think we have differing experiences there, but we saw different stylists. I was the first appointment of the day, they were on time and ready to go, so yay there! But overall the cut was not what I asked for, at all. I didn't ask for much, simple layers (not going above my chin), face framing, and a trim all around. My layers were not even from one side to the other (I have layers that start near my cheekbone on one side and below my chin on the other, so I pretty much almost have bangs on one side and it looked comical), virtually no face framing, and they didn't even trim the back of my hair. With the coupon I'd say it was about worth it, but I won't be seeing that stylist again. I have heard great things about Tina and I hope they are true, I'll give Hot Heads one more shot. read more

I got a Groupon for this place sometime back. Called them so many times to setup an appointment and couldn't get through. Never returned any of my voice messages either. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! HORRIBLE service! I recently bought a LivingSocial Deal through this salon. The deal had a great price so I thought I'd try it out. I checked the website and a few reviews before I bought it and thought "how bad could it really be?". I walked in 10min early for my appt and was greeted by a very nice front desk/stylist. She checked me in, asked if I wanted a coffee, and told me my stylist was not there yet because I was early. The salon is old and full of clutter. I sat down in the waiting room and the window sill, end table, and floor were covered in dust and hair. When my stylist got there, she walked up to me and said "you can come back now". I still don't know the stylists name because she never actually introduced herself. Her station was just as filthy; everything was covered in hair clippings, dust, and clutter. There was apparently still color on the chair when I sat down because I left with dye all over the back of my shirt. I have long dark brown hair and told the stylist I wanted an ombré. I brought multiple pictures to show her exactly what I wanted. She barely said anything and then went to mix the color. Throughout the whole experience she was talking and laughing with the other stylist about their upcoming drinking and partying adventures on their next vacation. It was so immature and unprofessional. Needless to say, I paid for what I got. It's a cheap salon that offers cheap, horrible services. I Left the salon with my hair soaking wet because I just wanted to get out of there. The stylist had bleached the lower half of my hair and turned it BRIGHT ORANGE! I was mortified walking out of the salon and drove immediately to my normal salon where they did what they could to fix my now, extremely damaged and bright orange hair. Please, please, please pay a little extra money to go to a legitimate salon and STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON! read more

I've been getting my hair cut, colored, and highlighted for several years by Sarah. She does a fabulous job, and I really appreciate how sweet and funny she is. The prices can't be beat...I'll be coming here a long time! read more

Valentina is always on time and I feel heard when I request something. I was referred to her by another one of her satisfied clients and now I also refer friends and family to her. read more

3rd time almost wasn't a charm. Scheduling process is horrible. 1st attempt to get hair done i called to verify time & found they scheduled me for the incorrect date. 2nd time i showed & they didn't even show me scheduled. 3rd time they made me wait an hr as they doubled booked them self. That said the stylists are friendly fun and knowledgable. Cut a bit shorter that what i wanted but the color & style is great. May go back but still undecided. read more

I am a recent new client, going the Hot Heads since it was more convenient to my house with hours that fit my schedule. I was extremely pleased by the stylist (Amy), the service and the prices! I felt like walking into an old friend's home after being away for awhile. I highly recommend this salon! read more

Just got home after a wonderful experience at Hot Heads-which is a COOL salon. AMY took wonderful care of my daughter and I. She was not only talented and professional, but extremely friendly and easy to talk to. In fact everyone at Hot Heads made us feel like we were long time customers and the environment was very comfortable and cozy. Hot heads is a diamond in the ruff-we are so happy to have found:) read more

I got tired of the revolving hair stylist roster at the mall salons, and decided to take my daughter's advice and look for a local salon. I was looking for a stylist who would listen to what I wanted, and could handle doing a bright color splash as well as overall color. I couldn't have found a better place. Amy is a color genius, and the other stylists are awesome as well. Now I, my daughter, and my granddaughter are all very happy clients. The atmosphere is laid-back, their prices are lower than the mall salons, and their stylists are top-notch. Definitely would recommend! read more

Where do I begin?I have been a customer there for 2 years and should have left long ago.The mother and daughter team (Janis and Valentina) are bitchy, condescending, and can't be bothered to remember customers' names.The mom and owner, Janis, thinks her ugly paintings are suitable for hanging all over the place, and Janis also apparently does NOT know the difference between a 1/4 inch off and 1 1/2 inches off. And what hair stylist actually goes on and on about how dry someone's hair seems to be and gives a lecture about blow-drying? Sorry, but not everyone can go to work looking as scraggly as she does, and need to blow-dry their hair to look suitable. Also, she cut my bangs wet!!?! I am done with these stupid hipster bitches. There have been at least 4 different haircuts that were not done with the care and expertise that they claim to have. I had to get those 4 haircuts fixed by other salons, at my own extra expense. Don't be fooled by their super cheap prices and claim that they are just working on the cheap, but still providing top notch haircuts. They aren't, and apparently it's true that you get what you pay for. read more
