I can't say enough great things about this salon. It's a wonderfully calm, professional and…read morewelcoming atmosphere. I've lived and had haircuts at high-end salons all over the country, from New York and DC to LA and SF, and I've only met three stylists that send me home with a haircut I'm happy with--one of which is Kate. I am a no-maintenance, no-product kind of guy, which means the haircut is everything. It has to stand on its own with no help from me yet still look professional and put-together. Thanks, Kate! Appreciate having you in the Rockford area.

We went to B. Elliotts on the recommendation of a friend to get a haircut for my 11 year old son…read more While the salon is darling and several girls who walked by seemed very friendly, the stylist that cut my sons hair, Britton, was awful. She didn't greet us; she just told him to come on back. She didn't ask how we wanted his hair cut or styled, so I followed her back to tell her. She wasn't very responsive; rather she was very rushed and distracted and not friendly. When my son came out, his haircut was terribly uneven and not shaped well at all. We had been told that kids pay their age, but I left $18 poorer. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I probably won't return.

We moved to Rockford in 2022 and I needed to find someone to help me care for my very thick,…read morenaturally curly hair. I saw a woman in Kohl's with the most gorgeous curly hair and I asked her if she was from Rockford, and if so where she had her hair done. That is how I found Studio Blu. Anna has been caring for my hair ever since and it has been a great experience. She never assumes anything - she listens to what I want/am experiencing, and tailors her services accordingly. I was concerned, moving from Chicago, that I wouldn't find someone who could help with hair like mine, but it has been a great experience.

LOVED my experience at Mane Expressions yesterday afternoon getting a hair cut. I called Sanctuary…read moreat the last minute for an afternoon appointment and they couldn't fit me in at a good time amidst my holiday shopping, so they recommended this sister salon. The salon was inviting and decorated nicely for the holiday. I had to wait about 20 minutes before my service began as Pattana finished up her previous service, but both Pattana and the girl at the front desk were apologetic and made me comfortable in the meantime in the waiting area. The bathrooms were clean and I was offered tea/coffee/water right away after coming in for my appointment. The salon also uses Aveda products, which I LOVE and are great for all hair different hair types. Pattana was a great stylist. She was warm and friendly and made sure that she knew exactly what I wanted for my cut. I hadn't had a haircut in several months and brought in photos of a long bomb on my phone. She made sure she looked carefully over the photos and that I understood how the haircut would frame my face and be different lengths in the front/back. I appreciated how much care she took to make sure I would be happy with the final result. Throughout the cutting process, she made sure I was okay with the length that was being taken off. When I wasn't sure if it was too much, she agreed to leave the length and to cut more later if needed. The end result was perfect. Thanks for a great cut, Pattana! I would definitely come back to her and to Mane Expressions after such a great first experience. The cut was $35 + tip and I left loving my new look!
