Delayed review. Went for color, not great experience. Can't remember the name of the girl I went to, but I specifically asked for someone that has experience highlighting dark Asian hair, it pulls very brassy when hair is bleached. Anyway the colorist they gave me had little experience overall bc she was young and ended up toning my hair about 3-4 times that visit. She was apologetic but that doesn't fix the damage done. I cannot recommend nor would I go back. read more

Highly recommend! I've been a Rue 62 client for 15 years. Can't say enough about their talented stylists. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and inviting. I think I've seen every stylist over our long relationship and I've always been pleased with my results. read more

I've been coming to Rue 62 since 2013, when we first moved to the neighborhood right behind it. Seven yrs later, we moved to Elgin, but I happily make the drive up to north Hoffman Estates because I refuse to risk someone else ruining my hair. My stylist, Jenna, is nothing sort of incredible. Over the years, she's not only nailed my color every single time, but she's also become someone I consider a friend. Like most stylist she's part artist, part therapist, and knows my life story. Jenna's attention to detail is unmatched. She always listens, understands exactly what I want, even when I'm being too picky and recommends styles and products that actually work for me and my frizzy aging hair. I trust her completely and I walk out feeling amazing every time. If you're looking for a stylist to truly gets it, Jenna is the one. Rue 62 is worth the trip! read more

I went there three times and did not come out with the color of blonde highlights I asked them to do. So, I went elsewhere. Simple. Nothing more to say. How many chances can you give someone? read more

I have never ever colored my hair before until today. Two of my close friends actually go here all the time, so I decided to give it a shot myself & I'm so glad I did! I booked an appointment with Hannah for a cut & balayage & I can truly say that from start to finish, Hannah was awesome! She knew it was my first time coloring, so she took the time with handling my massive amount of hair, asking me what I was envisioning, answered all my questions, etc. I couldn't have asked for a better stylist! Totally IN LOVE with my new hair look! Thank you, Hannah! read more

Rue 62 Salon - Before & after! - Hair Salons Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Great curly cut! Thank you so much for a nice experience, Daylie & Rue 62 salon! It's rare that I leave a haircut without feeling a bit emo, but this cut was exactly what I needed, and nothing I didn't. read more

Time to finally write a review that - in all honesty - was probably due a long, long time ago. I grew up the same as most guys, going to the same barber as our grandfather, uncles, father, etc. Ever the creature of habit, when my wife and I moved from the south western suburbs up to the Hoffman Estates area, I still made the regular trek down for my haircut. So maybe I am a little adverse to change? This worked well enough until a last minute business trip forced my hand to try something new. It was about 8 years ago, when my wife finally won the battle of trying her "salon". As another review referenced, I thought this would mean forfeiting my man card - my membership is on shaky ground anyways. While it would pain me to say it directly to my wife or the women there - especially Jenna - this has proven to be an excellent decision. Not only was I able to eliminate the near hour I was commuting to get my haircut, but as it turns out, they do an amazing job. The staff there is extremely friendly and will quickly have you swept up in an interesting conversation from the moment you walk through the door. While I have had a few of the ladies there cut my hair, Jenna has been my "go to" for quite some time. She has the keen ability to give a great haircut while balancing the duties of therapist and stand-up comedian. With all the craziness of real life and world around me, I am thankful to have regular opportunity to forget it all for just a little while. I thoroughly recommend Rue 62 to all, but would give additional encouragement for guys to give it a whirl. read more

I have been a client of Jenna's for many years now. Coming to Rue 62 is such a treat always - the ladies there are ALL so warm and friendly and Jenna has never once steered me wrong on my hair, she is a perfectionist with color and style and it always pays off to get it just right, every time! I would highly recommend her to anyone! My sister has also been going to her for years, and she decided to get her hair/makeup done there for her WEDDING day, and offer it up to the other girls in the wedding. Let me tell you --- they did a FANTASTIC job! We decided to get ready at the salon, which was a HUGE relief, they took care of everything, we had a nice clean and open space to get ready in, Nora was running around helping us set up food/drinks and it was so nice to have the help, and way less cramped than typical hotel suites bridal parties get ready in - they even had a special music playlist for us! I can honestly say EVERY girl LOVED both their hair and makeup... and for 10 girls that is a huge accomplishment! The stylists were able to pick up what all the girls wanted and we were all thrilled. Thank you again Jenna, Nora and the entire Rue62 team to helping make the wedding a huge success! read more

There is a severe shortage of guys out there who are willing to write reviews for hair salons. This is ironic when you consider that there is no shortage of guys out there who visit them frequently. I don't really understand this whole mentality. Is being pampered by a bunch of hot women a badge of shame? I can assure any guys out there that might be hesitant, you will not be kicked out of your fantasy football league nor have your man card revoked for paying a visit to Rue 62. What you will get is a really sharp looking haircut, great service and engaging conversation that acts is a pleasant escape from the more mundane aspects of your daily life. Since I am relatively new to the area, I often turn to Yelp for recommendations for services I wish to patronize. In the case of Rue 62, they have all 5 stars from every single person who has took the time to write a review (including 27 which are filtered). It is exceedingly difficult for any business to hit the center of the bullseye that frequently, let alone a salon. Many women are as catty about salons as they are about shoes. To go this long without managing to get even one pissed off person to come here to vent is amazing, but to have all 5 stars from every single customer? Godlike. The common adage that "you can never make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time" is scripture in the business world. Rue 62 seems to be that rare anomaly that defies this convention. Pay a visit and you will see why. Since I had never been in before, I got randomly assigned to Melissa as my stylist and she was fantastic. She immediately put me at ease. The conversation flowed so easily that I almost felt as though I was conversing with her from the next bar stool over instead of sitting in a salon. Good hair stylists share a commonality with bartenders in that about 1/3 of their work is more social than professional, and this woman was on her game. Meaning very sweet and inquisitive, but not overboard like the flair guy from "Office Space" either. The shampooing, scalp rubbing and papering is wonderful and quite relaxing. The heavily aromatic shampoo used is the icing on the cake. The time went by so fast that before I hardly knew what was going on it was time for me to leave. As you also might expect, my cut looks amazing. She blended in everything perfectly and took off just the right amount to make it look neat and clean without making it look like I just enlisted in the Marine Corps. I am a creature of habit. It is just how I roll. Finding a good place to take care of my hair so I do not even have to think about it when the time comes is my preferred outcome. I would say it is safe to assume I will be a regular here. These girls obviously love what they do and it shows in how they treat their guests. The 5 star reviews from everyone here are completely justified. Lastly, first time Yelp check in's get 20% off of service too, which was a pleasant surprise on my way in the door. read more

You can't find a better salon; hands down best in Midwest! I have hair ADD; I need to change it up a few times a year but never know what I want to do next. I work with Jenna as I followed her from another salon. Her vision is amazing and she's learned what works for me and my hair. I've tried it all and every time is my new favorite. The salon is cute and trendy and they have a wide range of stylists who can help you be cutting edge or traditional. Prices are great for what you get. Nails, wax, they have what you need. Speaking of wax, my eyebrows look best after a visit there. I've tried those cheap places with a back room and I always break out and it's super painful. Whatever they do here works, no red swollen face, no breakouts after. I always look forward to my next visit! And always get tons of compliments after. read more

Jenna was awesome! I went to her bc my hair was breaking off and she treated it. She took me in right away even though I called the same day! Awesome experience!! read more

First time client today for highlights and cut. Melissa was ready and waiting for me to arrive and took me back right away. She asked questions regarding my hair and concerns. The atmosphere is nice and friendly, I have been to many salons where the stylist seem snarky and mean to each other but not here. My hair turned out awesome. I would highly recommend this salon. read more

So I felt I had to write a review. I have ashy-blonde hair and it is very unruly, dry, and difficult to manage. I have tried a new hair dresser consistently every few months for the past 5 years trying to find SOMEONE that wont completely keep f*cking up my hair. I was very paranoid/skeptical coming in, simply because literally everyone messes it up. Last year i got a dye job from a very well known salon lady, who ended up making my hair look like eminem's bad peroxide job. So I came in, and I had the lovely lady Colleen. I told her what I wanted, and she actually listened! She made my hair the perfect color blonde. We all know blonde highlights can be difficult, they can turn out brassy or yellow. My hair is absolutely BEAUTIFUL on all levels. You can tell she puts great pride in her work. She was very easy to talk to, did a phenomenal job, and did exactly what i wanted done with my hair. Worth every penny. Needless to say, after hunting for a hair stylist for the past 5 years, i FINALLY found someone. I would trust anyone with my hair here, but i give extra high remarks for the wonderful Colleen!!! read more

It is so scary switching to a different place!! The guy I always went to at the old place doesn't work there anymore, and I was feeling really nervous; worrying there was only one person who can do it "just" the way I want it. So I took a risk (because it's either that or never cut my hair again!). And Colleen did an amazing job!! I am super happy with how it looks, and she even gave me a tip to make my bangs "swoop". This place is great. :) The receptionist is also incredibly friendly. read more

Best color and stylist!!! I got an amazing cut and color from Devin. She gave me the type of cut and color you'd expect from a downtown Chicago salon. She listens to you, looks at your hair and asks questions to give you the style you want. I LOVE my hair!!! I walked out feeling like a million dollars. The salon and entire staff are friendly, kind and funny. From the moment you walk in to when you leave, you have a great experience. I highly recommend this salon. read more

I had a very enjoyable and relaxing experience at this salon. I received a cut and partial highlight. I went a little bold and did an undercut under my long hair. It turned out pretty sweet! read more

A new salon with a cool edge to it. The service and atmosphere is top-notch and they make ya' feel right at home with old friends. Carol took care of me and I probably look the best I have in years! lol read more

My experience with Rue 62 was fantastic! I was looking for a new stylist and Lindsey did a GREAT job. I've gotten many compliments on my hair cut and recommend everyone should see her. Thanks Rue 62. I'll be back to see you in about 8 weeks! read more

Colleen at Rue 62 is the sweetest and did an amazing job on my hair! I have really long/thick hair which takes a long time but she was so courteous and took her time to make sure it came out just the way we wanted. I am so happy I found her and this awesome salon with the most friendliest and nicest ladies! read more

Brenda was great! The staff here is so friendly and really make you feel welcome. They were kind enough to give me a call prior to my appointment to let me know they were running 15 minutes behind. Most places would just have you sit around and wait, so I really appreciated that. Brenda did an awesome job with my cut and color. She was friendly and attentive and gave me a cut/color that I absolutely love! There was another lady there who was very helpful and knowledgeable as well, I think she may have been the owner. Another person who stood out was Becca (I think that was her name), who was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be coming back here and I highly recommend it! Oh, and on your first visit, you get 20% off! read more

I got a hair cut, and the actual cut wasn't terrible. The girl wasn't able to blowout my hair, and I have curly hair, but I've gotten blowouts many times before. It took her a long time to blowout my hair and the employees kept saying "you should've told us you have a lot of hair" saying it's my fault they weren't able to do a good job. And they charged extra because I have a lot of hair!!! So I went to a new salon and the girl was able to cut my hair and blowout without any problems.... so I do not recommend at all!!! read more

Big thanks to Melissa at Rue 62 for the great hair styling she provided for me on the occasion of my son's wedding. We had never met, but I showed her a photo of what I had in mind and she exceeded my expectations. I asked her to use enough product to hold the style in my fine hair, and her artistry was still apparent after an evening of partying, dancing, and walking around the windy Chicago night. She listened to my every request, and she delivered. I highly recommend Melissa, and based on the other happy customers I saw in the salon, I highly recommend all the stylists at Rue 62. read more

Came in to this salon for color, I wanted to go from dark blonde to medium brown brunette. After some lowlights and root touch-ups my hair ended up very dark brown, too dark for my complexion and not what I asked for. Next day, I came in and talked to Jenna, which I didn't realize until later is the salon owner. She was super nice, understanding and professional. She gave me a detox hair treatment to gently help fade the dark color. They also fit me in few days later and Hanna beautifully corrected my color with highlights and toning and turned my hair into a pretty bronde. My hair is still shiny and in decent condition. I'll be back for color maintenance. Everyone at the salon is very pleasant and it's obvious they strive to make their costumers happy, would definitely recommend. read more

Today I got one of the best haircuts of my life here. Great staff. Very clean salon. Reasonably priced. I'm coming here from now on.

This salon is great! It's modern and stylish on the inside and not overpriced! Mariana did an amazing job on my haircut, everyone should go see her! I'll be back! read more

Just had the most fabulous no-chip manicure from Devin. Great job, beautiful salon, professional and friendly.

Love rue 62! Love that it's in the suburbs- In a strip mall aka tons of parking. I've gotten a blow out, cuts, and my brows done here. Love the service and friendliness of the stylists. read more

Colleen is amazing!!! Finally someone gets my crazy hair and makes it look amazing!!! She is so talented at what she does and always listens to what you want. So lucky to have found such a great stylist after years of searching!!! read more

If your looking for a salon to go to look no further! Excellent stylists, great vibe and yes, they make you feel right at home! Kelly has been doing my color for years and she is Awesome! Highly recommended! read more

Just stopped in from out of town. Asked if they take walk-ins. Was told "Normally we do but we're trying to wrap things up." It was 3:45 & they don't close until 5:00? Poor customer service. read more

Love this salon!! I've been getting my hair cut and colored here for the past year, and prior to that I was the type of person that bounced around from salon to salon not really caring about who was cutting my hair. People at Rue 62 were immediately welcoming and do a fantastic job! We are fairly new to the Northwest 'burbs and I finally convinced my stubborn husband (who would travel an hour to go back to his barber) to go there and he loves it too. Our stylists are usually Avis and Jenna, but I've seen the great work that the other stylists have done as well. Completely trust them with my impossible head of hair, enjoy the chats, love the service and by far the best shampoo chairs/leg rest setup I have ever had! read more

Still love Rue 62! Awesome salon, incredible staff. Doesn't get any better!

I tried this salon based on other Yelp reviews, and I was definitely pleased! I met with Colleen, who listened to what I wanted, checked back with me to make sure I liked what she was doing, and was so easy and comfortable to talk to! I walked in not too sure how it would go, very much used to pushy hairstylists that don't take the time to really LISTEN to what you want, and walked out looking beautiful and feeling like I just spent an hour with my best friend! I have finally found "my" salon! read more

I was in at Rue 62 last week for haircut and the place looked great..well decorated, with an inviting friendly atmosphere...I was well attended through out visit to salon and have only pleasant things to say..I will definitely be back and will be recommending to friends and family..Thanks again Rue 62 Salon read more

I've been going here for a while now and always been happy. I was even able to come back and have something fixed that I wasn't so sure about a few days after my cut and it was free. They have fantastic customer service read more

Jenna and Devin not only style my hair, but both style my sons' hair, their girlfriends' hair, and their friends' hair. Once you've had them cut you hair... you'll be recommending them to everyone! All the stylists at this shop our great. Jenna is very particular on who she hires... they have to be good to work for her. I don't know anyone who has been disappointed. Everyone that works at the shop are professional and very nice. The place is always clean and its a great hair day experience. recommend this salon for all ages.. male or female. read more

My hairstylist today was Brenda. She is amazing! Not only did she do exactly what I wanted but she was friendly and informative. I found my new hairstylist! read more

Dee is a color expert! She took my hair from covering up the gray I fought to hide and transformed it step by step to revealing the beautiful silver I didn't realize I had and accented it with deeper undertones. Her hair cuts along the way helped me manage my hair so well that it appeared a natural transition. My hair has LOTS of growth patterns (aka cowlicks) and had, before Dee, discouraged me from trying any new products or "looks". Everyone is very nice, cooperative, and happy to be there.....look no further for your best "look". pamela read more
