I hired Ruth to do my makeup/extensions for my wedding, and it was definitely the best investment I could have made! She nailed my hair color for the extensions and they blended seamlessly. She listened to my wild rant on all the different ideas I had for my hair and somehow managed to pull off exactly what I had in mind. She also took care of my bridesmaids hairdos on site. Ruth does a great job and is so careful and thorough. My wedding pictures came out fabulously. I can't wait for my next hair appointment! read more

Gabriella did a really great job styling my hair for an event and she was even kind enough to help me with my own false eyelashes when I told her I didn't have a clue how to put them on! Great experience! read more

I found this place in a rush, and couldn't be happier I did. The place is very unassuming, but when you walk in you quickly realize this is all part of it's charm. I go to Ruth, and she's talented enough to work at any high end salon as I've always went to the best place I could find (Somone once told me, "never go cheap on a hair cut or a razor", words of advice a guy should live by:) She's fun to talk to, and I'd be suprised if you'd find someone who you'll like more when getting a haircut. The quaint little place is def worth checking out, incredibly talented stylists, friendly, and you get a level of service that you probably would not get at a salon unless the individuals working were in charge of their business such as this place. read more

I've been to every type of haircut place - plush stylists to basic barbers. All I want is a good haircut at a decent price in a non "head factory" environment (that's where people are stacked up waiting, eying the chair as if you've taken something that's their's). So it's easy to see why I've been going to Shear Point for 15 years - it delivers on what I'm looking for every time (without the other B.S.). Another great thing is that it's right next to the Oakbrook mall, so I can often combine a haircut with lunch or shopping for a needed item. The salon is in the Oak Brook Terrace Tower building, so you will not see any signage for Shear Point, but trust me it's there and it's a great value. read more

Sara is a terrific hair stylist! It's worth the wait to get an appointment or the drive.....trust me!

What a nightmare! Please read all!!! So I found this salon off the internet looking for a good place to get Keratin Extensions. Tony Odisho was the best brand in Chicago land so I decided to check it out. I tried to find a place close to where I worked in Oak Brook. I found this place on the Tony Odisho site. I Yelped Shear Point Tower Salon and they were a 5 star. So I went there. I made an appointment with Ruth. I had tape in extensions in already so she charged me $50 to remove them and she was going to schedule me the next day to get the keratin bonds in. It was $125 per pack and I got 3. I had to make a down payment of $100, which I was okay with. This was not my problem. The day I got my previous extensions out I asked if I should touch up my roots since they were growing in. She told me she could do it no problem. I showed her pictures of what I wanted. It was mainly just the same color I had but a little bit lighter. Long story short, I left there crying! It was not what I wanted at all. My hair was yellow and white. I looked like I was balding in one area. I called Ruth back asking her to please fix it and she attempted. When I walked in I told her I didn't like the yellowness in my hair. Just get rid of the yellow that's all. And what does she end up doing...adding more yellow! She told me the next day when I came in for the extensions she would fix it to my liking. The next day I went in and she washed my hair one last time to get rid of the tap from my previous extensions and make my hair very dry so the keratin extensions would stay. To which then she put in the keratin extensions, much closer than she was supposed too. She was supposed to be certified in Tony Odisho extensions!! She then did a quick "trim" basically taking two sections of my hair and making it a straight line not taking any time styling/layering. She then made an appointment with me that next week to fix my yellow hair but in my mind I really didn't want her touching my hair again! She told me the total will be 350 since I already paid 100. I was told it would cost me $450 so I was fine with the price. Extensions are expensive but what I wasn't okay with was her charging me $50 for a cut and wash. I'm thinking in my head what cut and wash!? Whatever I brought out my credit card and was ready to pay. She was ready with her iPhone and the adaptable credit card reader to pay. She asked me do I have a check. I said no all I have is a card. She said well I try to only charge $200 or less on this. Is there any way you can go to the ATM down the hall? I asked,"is it a chase ATM because that's what kind of card I have. If not then no I'm not getting charged more." She then asked her coworker whom is I believe the owner named Sara where the nearest chase bank is. I stopped them and said no I'm not driving out of my way to get cash. She should have asked ahead. Then after she swiped my card she showed me options for tip.. 10, 15, 20% or customize. I gave her $20 and that was being nice. I shouldn't have given her anything. The next day I called to talk to Sara the owner about just getting my money back for just the color because I had to go somewhere else where I know I would love it. I was asking for $60 back after all the money I spent there and customers are always right they should at least do that for me but no. Sara made a big ordeal about how Ruth took 10 hours on my hair. Um I'm sorry don't you think I was there too?! Do you think I wanted to be there for that long...NO! She told me they would call me back later in the day which they didn't. So I called Chase Bank the next day and made a claim for the charge I made at the salon. I will not be returning to this salon again. This is just a fair warning for you ladies looking to get your hair colored or get extensions. I'd advise you go somewhere else. read more

See all

Nice surprise!! Called and got a same day appointment with Ruth. She was awesome. Staff very knowledgeable and salon has high end products. Would definitely recommend. read more

As every curly haired girl knows, good hairdressers are hard to find, and once you do make that magical connection it's til death do us part. I started going to Ruth in late 2013, and have never been more satisfied with my hair (both in terms of cut & color). She layers & styles my extremely curly (type 3b) hair so well, I've been able to grow it out without getting the oft-dreaded pyramid effect. Prices are a bit high, but well worth it in my opinion. Since going, I've also learned a good deal about hair treatment, products & how to blow dry my hair. Ruth takes the time to help you make informed decisions or correct any aspect of color/cut that you are not satisfied with. read more

I don't spend my days and nights writing Yelp reviews, so you can take this to the bank. The folks at Shear Point Tower (SPT) are exactly what you want when need to get something as intimate as a haircut. Professional, friendly and great at what they do. I used to work in OBT and found SPT to be a really convenient place to get my haircut, but after my company moved out of the building I kept coming back because I like Sara and how she cut my hair. Now my whole family goes to SPT for haircuts. The atmosphere is cozy, the price is VERY reasonable - my kids haircuts are even less than mine. If you want to go to a place where everyone is welcome and made to feel comfortable then go to Shear Point Tower in the Oakbrook Terrace Tower. I promise you will keep coming back. read more

I used this wonderful salon for my wedding last week and was extreme pleased. They had excellent service and the stylist was experienced, timely, and affordable. Thank you again Ruth for the amazing hairstyle! read more

As girl who has fine thin hair, finding a stylist who is on the same page as you is like finding a golden ticket. I've been seeing Ruth now for about 3-4 years now and she is awesome. I like to do different things with my hair and Ruth always has new and inventive ideas. In the past, she's died my hair the most amazing color of red. It was so perfect with my skin tone. When I got tired of that and wanted to transition back to my regular color. She died it in such a way that as it grew back it looked natural and had a ton of different tones to it. As someone who is facing thinning and limp hair she suggested Tony Odisho fillers. I have short hair so basically they are extentions cut short to give volume not length. I only needed one pack. My hair looks so full and nice. It is easier to style. I've had them in for 3+months now and they still look great. Bottom line this is a great place to get hair done. Sara and Ruth are beautiful people. I went from hating my hair to loving it thanks to Ruth. read more
