This place is disgusting. Immediately upon coming inside, I was greeted with a horrible sulfuric sewage smell. I remembered my gallery had this issue from a dried out sub pump, so I brushed it off. Unfortunately, it was a telltale sign of things to come. I waited 45 minutes to be seen. A little jarring, but fine. They had one nail tech on hand and she had great reviews on Yelp. So I'm waiting and begin noticing how dirty this place is and begin to get really nervous about getting my nails done here. My nail tech runs the water for me in one of the two pedicure stations and I go to sit down. The basin was FILTHY (see pictures), the area around the manicure station was not cleaned and full of clutter. I did not see any implementation of sanitization of the tools used from person to person. The last straw was looking behind my chair to see a HUGE COCKROACH hanging out. NOPE! I hightailed it out of there... which was super awkward because there were only four people there & I said I was called into work to avoid confrontation... I haven't written a Yelp! review in months, but this place was so offensive that I feel inclined to share it because the stellar reviews brought me here in the first place.. and I really felt cheated out of my afternoon. I was not going to risk catching anything from this place and neither should you. read more

5 stars all the way. Jazmin is amazing & the ladies at the salon are a pleasure to be around! Got my extensions done and they look fabulous!!!! The owner Lulu is awesome! Kayla tinted and hooked up these brows real nice!!!! Looking forward to my next visit already!!!!! read more

Lulu cut and styled both my and my daughter's hair! We love her work! My daughter is super picky when it comes to her. She loved her hair and couldn't stop touching it and playing with it after we love. Lulu is awesome! She makes sure that you love your hair before you leave. This place is definitely our new salon home! read more

When I walk out of this salon I feel like an absolute queen. Everyone here is soo welcoming and down to earth. Jazzy is extremely talented and always listens to what I want and gives honest insight. She gets it right every time! They have a life long customer here. Please don't ever change a thing! read more

I got my hair cut yesterday by the owner lulu. She did a great job. I left loving my new cut and how she styled it. Made me feel comfortable with my visit. Will definitely be returning for future cuts and other beauty needs. Also, I will be referring my friends and family to this salon. Thank girl! read more

This place is a shithole. Avoid avoid avoid!!! Came in for a no chip with lifebooker. The girls were rude and ghetto. They acted like it was an inconvenience that I was there and did a craptastic job. I reported them to lifebooker and they called "to get feedback", but what really happened was the boss was trying to convince me that she is a professional. Sure, if you consider wearing jeans a few sizes too small and have your ass crack hanging out, we'll go with that. I think she was the owner too. I will never, ever EVER return and will tell everyone I know to avoid. They haven't a clue how to treat clients and they don't know what they are doing at all. I hope they go out of business so nobody else has to go through what I did. read more

Beware. I went there to get my roots touched up... just a medium brown color, nothing complicated and the stylist gave me hot roots. In other words, she turned my hair orange at the roots. I had to sit and wait for another color to process and its still isn't the right color. In addition to that, I got a no chip manicure that started chipping the very next day. Aside from that, the salon was very well decorated and the people who own/run it were very nice. I definitely felt comfortable there. If I were to go back I would request a more experienced stylist. read more

I've been to this Salon 4 times for both no chips and pedicures. I've booked each time with Lifebooker. Each time I go it is consistent. What I like: *Every one is very friendly. I feel like I'm at a neighborhood salon, there is nothing commercial or uptight about it. Every one talks to each other, there is music playing on the radio. *I love being offered something to drink. They always have wine. * The nail technician's are always nice and conversational. *They are fast. It is a good place to go for an inexpensive manicure that gets the job done with out any frills. The no chips last 2 weeks. What I don't like: *Not a good place for a pedicure. The pedicure station is dirty and my *Not a good place to go with a friend. When I went there was only one pedicure station so my girlfriend and I hate to wait for the other to finish. *They give you a DRY manicure. No massage, no scrubs, no lotions. A little bit of filing, maybe cuticle trimming, and then the polish. This isn't the place to go to feel pampered. *They don't have lamps at the manicure stations! They do your manicure without extra lighting. I end up with different shades of the color on each nail. *The application of the polish is uneven from nail to nail. Will I give them my business in the future? *Only because it's in my neighborhood. If I lived more than a mile from here I wouldn't travel out of my way. *Only if I want to get a new color, not an actual manicure. *Only for a no-chip manicure *Only if I have a coupon, I'll never pay full price here. read more

I followed Cece here from another not as good place and let me tell you that she is one of the best stylist in the city. The salon is great and it is full service but I'm a guy and I just like the basics and this they can do that too but definitely go to Cece. You won't be disappointed read more

Salon La Rouge - Cece! - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place opened up last week and my good friend, great hairstylist Rafael works there so I decided to give it a try. The decoration is amazing, absolutely beautiful. It is a family owned business, and everyone is so friendly and nice. It has a welcoming atmosphere, which many high end salons lack, and thus make your experience just blaaahhh. If you want a great hairstyle/cut/color with some champagne, may I add, this is your place to go. Now, about Rafael. His passion for hair is out of this world. If you want an extreme makeover, something completely different with your hair, he is your man. I change my hair color very often, and just love different styles. He is always willing to work with me, recommend different styles and so on. Did I mention, he is honest? Most hairstylists, will do what you want, he on the other hand, does what is least damaging to your hair, might take a bit more time, but so worth it in the end, especially if you are like me, and change your hair color often. Give this place try, I guarantee you will ABSOLUTELY love it :)) read more

Love this place! The decor is great, its not too big, not too small. I went to get acrylics from Lex. She was sooooo detailed in everything from length to cut to color to care, etc. I absolutely love my end results. I posted a pic! I got a sport cut with square tips. She was very conversational, and not just chit chat stuff like the weather. We talked about the nails throughout, what she was doing, what I should and should not do afterwards, and when I should come in next for fill ins. For the full set I paid $25, which I was so shocked by. It was nice to talk about things we had in common, and we learned about each other, which I love. The whole process was long, but that is because she really took her time and wanted it to be perfect. I got polish on, not no chip, just because of the color I wanted. Anyway, my appointment was at 2, started around 2:15, and I think I left at 4:30. Yes, long, but I am so thrilled by my nails. It's been almost a week and they still look new! You MUST go see Lex to get your nails done. A+++ read more

I went two weeks ago to get my first ever no-chip. I was mainly sold on Salon La Rouge for the Yelp reviews PLUS the fact it is only a building or two down from my apartment...basically right next door. Proximity is definitely a plus. I was completely impressed though! The ladies were all very kind, warm and attentive. I feel terribly that I forget who did my mani but as soon as I find her card I'll update my review! My mani lasted perfectly for these past two weeks and when I went to pay I was told that they were having a temporary special. $20 for an excellent no-chip that lasted? Yes please! I plan on going back ASAP and have a feeling i'll be a frequent repeat customer. read more

Got my eyelash extensions done here. I'm a first timer so didnt expect them to last so long but they did! Came back for a touchup after a few weeks and had Lulu wash and blowdry my hair... Her straightener is like the GOD of all flat irons! My hair felt like silk. Thanks girls!! I'll be coming back soon! read more

I came to LaRouge to book them for my wedding. From the moment I walked in Lulu was extremely welcoming. She was open to any questions I had and was very organized. The day of my wedding her and her team came in on time and ready to glam up my bridesmaids and I. They worked fast and didn't hesitate to do someone's makeup over if the bridesmaid didn't like it. That is what I loved about them. Boy oh Boy They did an amazing job on everyone. I couldn't have asked for a better team then LaRouge. Thank you to Lulu and her team for SLAYING us on my wedding day‍ read more

I was nervous about going to a new salon, seeing as to how its always a scary experience to try a new place out. However I was in need of a haircut and a mani/pedi prior to a holiday party and this was the closest option for me. Needless to say it was a blessing in disguise! I LOVE THIS PLACE! From the women who work there, to the ambiance it provides, they did an excellent job with my cut, and my no chip experience was perfect! I will continue to come here and encourage anyone tired of their salons to try out La Rouge! read more

Went in for a last minute manicure and walked out completely satisfied ! Abby did a great job on my no chip she recommended I get a festive red color for the holidays I usually don't go for bright red but I loved it!! Thanks Abby! read more

Thank you salon La Rouge! My hair is fabulous. Ive been going to La Rouge since June '12. The girls are very friendly and professional . My first visit Lulu listened to my concern and did exactly what i need and wanted. Ive always been afraid to add bright colors to my hair because its thin and delicate.She applied bright tones to my hair with out damaging it, not sure how she did it. Ive been seeing another hair stylist at the salon and she's just as awesome. The products used have been good to my hair. My hair feels healthy and looks great1 I also had my 1st microdermabrasion, the price was reasonable considering i would return. The salon has a nice decor,very clean with professional service and reasonable prices! read more

When you leave Salon LaRouge you feel beautiful. Lulu is amazing! She and her staff go out of their way to make sure you leave the salon looking fabulous. From hair cuts, hair color, Invisi-Tabs hair extensions, and all other services they offer... You will love it! Thank you Salon LaRouge. read more

It is worth the wait! Book an appointment because this place is not open everyday and is definitely worth trying. Great services and my blowout lasted days!! Highly recommend, well worth the money! read more

I went in on Monday to take my med. brown hair to a lighter, natural sun-kissed dark blonde color after making an appointment on Lifebooker. After showing the stylist Eric a few photos of the color I was looking for and short conversation regarding the history of my hair, he said he'd be right back and went off to mix the 1st batch of color which was going to be just single process. Long story short my hair was processed THREE times that day and I left the salon with a yellow/brassy-orange hair after wasting the entire day. Terrified to go back, an owner, Lulu said she would fix it first thing the very next morning. I went back in at 9am the next day with a very VERY sensitive scalp and 3 times-over damaged hair from the previous days amateur attempt at my request. Lulu ensured that I would leave happy and the photos I showed him and she were attainable. We went through applying foiled highlights and a full color process. Although my color request did not change for natural dark blonde hair, I left the salon that morning with red, brown and white skunk streaks in my hair and the color isn't at all even. The under side is brassy and yellow (I can't wear it up to work). The staff was very friendly and nice, but don't let that deceive you as for their skill level. The professionalism and knowledge base of coloring was minimal and damaged hair is the result-MY damaged hair. I felt like I had gone to a beauty school without an expert watching over to assist if things weren't going right. Now my hair has been completely processed 4 times in the span of 16 hours and looks a hot mess. I need to still get it fixed. I spent over 9 hours in this salon and left with damaged embarrassing hair twice. I would advise you stay away if you value your hair, time and expectations when entrusting, what you are lead to believe are, professionals. I was still, unprofessionally, asked to pay the $55 for the Lifebooker appointment because they had used product/hair dye. An experimental 10 yr old could have achieved any/all of the results I saw in this salon's mirror at home, but I went to what I thought was a professional. It's the stylists JOB to choose the correct color to achieve the desired results, not the customers; I should not have been charged. AND I, the customer, now have to live with the monstrosity on my head until I make yet another appointment with a trustworthy salon. Think horror story, I'll never go back and just trying to help y'all out and save you the trouble. Sincerely, Disappointed 4 times over read more

I have been going to CeCe for years for cut and color and I'm ashamed that this is the first time I'm writing a review! Cece is an absolute pro stylist and always in tune with me and what I want: low maintenance to a fault, style/cut for curly and straight, etc. she never fails to do magic with her scissors. I have come to trust her fully-- my direction to her goes like, "trim, color" to "I need a change." She gets to work and I walk out feeling & looking beautiful without fail! read more

LOVE! Salon LaRouge!! This place is so modern chic! Everything is red (hence the name LaRouge) and so classy!! Accessories/shoes for retail are displayed in such way that it becomes part of the décor!! Cute & organized... It even smells nice!! The nail tech is an ARTIST!! CRAZY INCREDIBLE! I just did a simple mani/pedi, but she can work crazy designs on acrylics (pics added). The esthetician gave me a free "facial assessment" while I waited, that was awesome and yes it worked, I booked a facial. I went for my hair, Lulu, who is one of the owners, did an amazing out of this world job!!! Like the previous yelper stated, these stylist are HONEST, they will let you know if your desired look is achievable or a waste of money...I (as u can tell on my profile pic) had really dark hair, wanted to go light for the summer...Lulu explained to me my options, the process, cost, pros and cons before even starting...I took her advice and I LOVE MY HAIR!!! (Pics added)..Everyone is so nice and helpful...They have package deals like "Girls night" and "Mommy and I" ...Oh and of course, the free wine and coffee helps... LOVE THIS RED SPOT! read more

I came here due to the massive amounts of reviews for CeCe who came from another salon. I called one day deciding that it was time to get my hair cut since it was life-less from the dry heat of winter. There was no natural curl left in it! I decided to give it a go when I made the appt and was told that Jazmin would be able to do my hair. I was SO lucky to get her! She is amazing at customer service, gave me all the information for the hair products she was putting in my hair and what they did, and gave me a discount on a deep conditioning treatment. That said when she dried my hair I was in awe! She told me I would look bomb but she wasn't kidding! She smoothed my tresses and they were so soft!!! I will be back in a few months for another treatment and cut. :) read more

Do not book on Yelp with this salon. Online booking works elsewhere -- everywhere I've used it. This place won't accept the appointments, and won't do what they need to do to remove the option from their Yelp listing. Real happy I rushed to get over there in time. read more

At first, I was going to give this place a 4 star..... but my no chip manicure ending up lasting a really long time. The place is easy to find and has a clean interior. The lady giving the manicures could be a little bit more friend, but hey.. as long as you do a good job I dont care. Come the 2nd week of my manicure, it remained chipless. The only reason why I took it off was the out growth. Ultimately, I will be returning because it was one of the best no chips I ever had. read more

Although the women working there are very friendly and personable the pedicure left something to be desired. My roommate and I purchased the Lifebooker for a spa pedicure so we tried to book together but one of their chairs was broken so we had to go one at a time. The area where the pedicure chairs are located is very dim and not well lit. I don't know how she could see what she was doing and soon found out when I walked outside to go home. None of my cuticles were cut, my nails were a little crooked and very rough on the edges and it was polished horribly. Completely uneven and looked horrible. Thought about going back in but already spend a couple hours there and just wanted to go home. Not 6 hours later and I hadn't even put shoes on I looked down and the polish on one of my pinky toes was gone and the paint on my one big toe was chipped. Needless to say, I need to get them redone already. I wanted to go to more of a salon for pedi's but I think I will go back to the Vietnamese nail place by my house. My pedi's last for a month when I go there... read more

I don't know why there were negative reviews for the no chips here. Lex did my nails and she did a fabulous job! She helped pick out a color that I was iffy about but ended up looking great. She took her time and was super friendly! About the color selection, there's not as wide a selection as shellac or the other no chip brands because they use the OPI no chip system, which is newer. But who cares! OPI is the best no chip system in my opinion :) Day 4 and no chip in sight read more

Salon La Rouge was Cute Quaint and the Staff is Great. The unique decor of the salon makes any client feel instantly comfortable. Very Modern & Chic! Cool shoes, makeup, and accessories for sale. Nick did my hair... Went from a light brown to a chocolate brown and it came out Perfect. Nick was also a funny and personable stylist. I would recommend services here and come back again! read more

I had a coupon off lifebooker, so I wouldn't have necessarily gone to La Rouge otherwise--but I'm so glad that I was able to check them out. I got a facial that was absolutely phenomenal, and some helpful explanations and recommendations. I'll definitely be back. read more

I purchase a Groupon for a no chip manicure i very very excited to go to this place the name La Rouge sounds so fancy. I made my appointment for 12 pm on a Thursday the lady on the found sound it very nice . i got there exactly at 12 pm . I rushed on my way there not to be late. When i got there the nail technician was going to start a pedicure on someone else. She started my pedicure at 12:55 pm. The water was boiling hot i burn my toes, hen she scrubbed my feet she did it with this scrub that people use to wash a very dirty pan . so rough OMG it hurt really bad I told her to stop and skip that in my other foot. Than she dig into my nail with this sharp object. That hurt my toe too she was to busy talking to another lady . she noticed i kept moving my foot and asked me if hurt, she looked at me lime I was crazy and exaggerating . NO I WAS NOT ! SHE HURT MY TOE !!! NO. I don't recommend this place to get your nails done. This nail technician is very ROUGH not even an animal deserves to through pain. I was supposed to enjoy my pedicure and i just wanted her to done fast. My nails are not even straight !!! read more

I had a great experience today at Salon la Rouge! Lulu did a fantastic job with my hair! Everyone was really nice and the place is super cute. I've found my new go to spot for hair! read more

I would highly recommend this hair salon, Lulu the owner took care of my daughter and she did an AMAZING job.. I had previously taken her to others who claimed they knew how to work with my girls hair only to be disappointed with the end result, when I first called to schedule the appointment, she took the time to listen to what I was looking for and wasn't quick to say I can do it, here's the price, instead she said to bring my daughter in for a consult and she would talk us through it and give her recommendations, I'm glad we went because the end result was great, my daughter is happy and I'm glad we found a long time stylist! Clean, organized, chic salon with a fabulous stylist, go check out Lulu, you won't be disappointed! read more

Love this place. I bought a life booker for eyelash extensions. My first set was perfect. I went back for my second set to find the aesthetician left and the new one could only do individual temporary lashes. I decided to get half in each eye (cat eye) I loved them! My mom thought they looked so great she went and got them the next day. (I think around 15 dollars, lasts about a week with care) I also get no chips there too. Love these also..though I wish there were more colors. This has def become my go to beauty spot. read more

Thank you so much to Mrs Lulu Medina for bringing my hair back to life!!! My hair was in a rut and wanted a med/long bob but I left the rest up to Lulu. She did a FABULOUS JOB! I will be recommending her and will be going back to her. 5 PLATINUM STARS. Thanks Lulu! read more

So, everyone knows that when you try a nail salon with a Groupon offer usually means getting a half ass mani/pedi (pardon my French, but it's true). Not at LaRouge! Marlo gave me the best pedicure ever. She took her time and was very careful about not cutting me, also made sure the color was in evenly and off my skin (last place I went to two weeks prior cut 3 of my cuticles!!!) my hands and feet look great. This salon offers everything a girl wants. I will definitely go back. Cannot wait to try some of the other services (hair!!!) read more
