I've been going to Christina to get my hair cut and colored for 15+ years. I've never had a bad experience. She's the best. I currently live out of state and make the 400 mile trip back every few months to get my hair done. I trust her completely to make me look good. She's an amazing stylist read more

I'm going to start by saying I will never trust anyone else to touch my hair for the rest of my days. Christina is an angel and a truly talented hair dresser. I have been going to Christina since I was 8 years and I could not trust or love her more. I will share this story and photos just to show her magical abilities and serious understanding of hair and hair treatments. I moved from Chicago to New York City a few years ago and was going on a last minute vacation for which I wanted to touch up my highlights. For reference I am a brunette and Christina has given me this beautiful balayage/ lighter pieces framing my face and I just needed to touch up these highlights. Let me reiterate... HIGHLIGHTS. Long story short I walked out of my nyc appointment fully blonde. Not one strand of brown hair left on my head. Like Britney spears blonde circa 2000. It was trash. I immediately flew home to Christina. Before even telling my family I was coming into town I made sure Christina was available. She worked her magic ...after laughing and getting over the horror that was my hair. But she completely transformed my hair back, which not only shows that she is good at her job but truly understands the process of the treatments and how to appropriately use which colors /treatments to obtain the best results. All in all, Christina is amazing and she will make your hair goals come true. read more

Velvet Roar - BEFORE Christina fixed the horror of my hair after getting getting it done in NYC - Hair Stylists Near Me - Woodridge, Illinois

See all

Awesome! Great location and friendly staff! Price point is solid. Cozy ambiance, always on time... and they have quality work.

Velvet Roar is the only place I will get my hair cut, since first walking in in early 2012. Christina is an artist and always makes me feel like I'm a model when I leave. I have extremely difficult hair to cut but she never makes any mistakes. The ladies are all outgoing and very friendly so all newcomers are sure to feel like one of the regulars. The salon is also very modern and beautiful just like the stylists :). I recommend this place to everyone I talk to and even put their business cards in my place of work. Keep up the great work ladies! read more

My sister, mom and I have all been getting my hair done by Christina for over 10 years. Always does a great job and faster than any other colorist! Does a great job with the boys too. The salon is ultra cute and she always makes me feel like family. Highly recommend. :) read more

The absolute best! I drive almost an hour just to see Wendy. If needed I would drive 2 hours. Love the atmosphere and the girls. Wendy and Christina are so much fun, beautiful and best of all... Really talented! read more

This is a long overdue review of Velvet Roar. Christiania has been keeping my mane manageable and hip despite the times I go in there and ask her just to 'shave it all off' b/c I'm having one of those days. The salon is nicely decorated and Christina gives off a lot of good energy that you can't help but fall victim to. If it wasn't for Christina I'm sure I'd be sportin' a Sinead O'connor look now under a variety of hats. Go to Christina if want a quality cut, color or just to stop in and say hi (sometimes she makes cookies). read more

After just recently moving back to Illinois, I have been in search of a good hair artist here. I came to Velvet Roar and had Leticia dye my hair recently and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. Thank god I found the perfect place. She also gave me the best deep conditioning of my life! A month later and my hair is still silky smooth. The salon is beautiful which makes the experience even better. I will continue to visit Velvet Roar for my hair needs and I fully recommend them to everyone in need:) read more

Velvet Roar is the best hair salon in the Western Suburbs. Christina, one of the hair stylist and co-owner had been my stylist for 9 years. She has taken care of my very long thick corse curly hair unlike anyone else in my entire life. The salon is beautiful and Christina and Wendy the other stylist and co-owner make you feel like you are family. Check out Velvet Roar, you'll love it! read more

Awesome. Christina is the best. I have been going to her for 10 years. She gives the Keratin treatments and her schedule is flexible to meet her clients' needs. Go. Go. Go. read more

Christina is amazing. She styled my hair for my wedding. It was so beautiful and lasted the entire wedding/after party. During my consultation, I told her what I was envisioning and she FLAWLESSLY pulled it off. I cannot say enough good things about her. She also did my bridesmaids hair, and everyone looked so beautiful. I highly recommend her for your event and ask for Julie if you are having your make up done! read more

The ladies at Velvet Roar deliver superior results that have continued to be among the best I've ever received. Christina and Wendy exemplify service and dedication to quality. Their pride in their Salon shows in everything they do. Keep up the great work! I have sent many of my friends and family to Velvet Roar and they have been very happy with the recommendation. read more

I love Velvet Roar. Christina and Wendy have wonderful energy and they do a great job with hair!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Velvet Roar or Christina here on yelp yet. Christina has been doing my hair for 10 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. When her and Wendy opened VR I knew it was going to be an amazing salon. They are both extremely talented in ALL facets of hair. Christina does the best job with my regular cut & color. I have gone from dark brown to blonde, short, long, sideswept bangs, straight across bangs, and she nailed it every single time! Every time I leave the salon my blow out lasts DAYS. Which is unheard of for my normally very oily hair. It's seriously magic. Christina also did my hair in an elaborate bun for my wedding day. It was even better than I hoped for. Wendy also did my bridesmaids hair and everyone looked PERFECT. The salon is absolutely gorgeous & they are extremely accommodating, always offering a drink and fun gossip mags. They are the sweetest people too, you will walk out and want to be their best friend & they will make you feel like you are! Become a regular here & I promise you won't regret it, absolutely love the VR girls! Thanks for giving me fabulous hair!! read more
