Had a great experience. I never had a balayage before and am very happy with my hair now. Rex was very helpful in helping me choose the style/color and he gave me advice on how to care for my hair also. Will definitely consider going back.

I just finished chemo and radiation treatments. Rex, my fab colorist and Becca, my new amazing stylist took such great care of me! They both took the time to talk with me about my expectations and their recommendations since I was going from long hair to short. I am so happy!

Out of complete pandemic desperation, and my local salons being booked out months in advance, I decided to book an appointment here while on a family vacation. My hair had not been touched by a professional since before my engagement pictures in 2018. I was in desperate need of someone to rescue me from brass, dead ends, and a hack job of homemade bangs. Robert did my color and he knocked it out of the park.

He listened to what I wanted and weighed in on what he could and couldn't do in one session which I greatly appreciated (some colorists will give you false hope.) Robert took it above and beyond what I could have expected and I was more than thrilled with my results. My hair cut was with Bob who gave me, hands down, the most fun experience I've ever had in a chair. Bob was excited and attentive.

He was also absolutely wonderful with showing me tips and tricks on how to achieve looks that would compliment my hair type and face shape. Since I flew into Chicago, I wasn't able to purchase any products to take home but at no point did I feel pressured to buy anything. Bob also told me he wasn't on Instagram and I promised to shout him out on here. Bob, if you are reading, I'm on Sephora now! Long story, I left feeling inspired, tears of happiness in my eyes, and feeling like a million bucks. I will be back! Peep the before and after.

We decided to get married last month and literally a week before the wedding I realized that I was in serious need of a hair rescue. I had been growing out my gray and in doing so, had some gray highlights. But overall, my hair was looking rather ashy and lackluster. I've been going to the same salon for years, and switching colorists/salons can be scary, especially days before a wedding.

But I had read such good things about Jasen and he was able to fit me in. He worked an absolute miracle on my hair. He brought my hair back to life giving it an incredibly natural look with a lot of dimension and shine. The condition of my hair hasn't looked or felt better in years. I look at our wedding photos now and am just so happy with how my hair looks, all thanks to Jasen!

And my husband continues complementing it, so that's always a good sign. I am so grateful for Jasen and his talent and would highly recommend him. He is professional and deserves all the accolades, awards, and recognition he has received. He is also he is so kind and has such a warm energy. How you treat people matters and you can tell Jasen genuinely cares for people and about his clients happiness. In fact, everyone I've interacted with at Maxine thus far has been wonderful. Cannot recommend enough!

Great salon, everybody is very friendly and accommodating. Michelle Dixon did a fantastic job on my biracial daughter's hair! The salon is gorgeous, Covid regulations are followed and you feel comfortable and safe.

As a transplant to Chicago, I wanted to find a great salon. I found that in Maxine's. Everyone there is friendly and top notch in their profession. When you trust your stylist and colorist, you feel confident enough to make a change. Karissa, my colorist, convinced me to go blonde - something I've never done. I've never had more compliments. She's a great colorist and great friend. I wouldn't trust my hair with anyone else.

Every time I come here I walk out feeling amazing! A while back I decided to go from black to blonde! My colorist, Karissa walked me through the process with tons of super knowledgeable information that was helpful for someone dying their hair for the first time. Karissa even took the time to recommend proper care in between visits. My favorite part of the process is how Karissa hypes me up about how great it's looking when I'm there.

She's always great conversation, friendly, and professional. The salon itself is gorgeous and all the of the staff are really attentive and professional. I definitely drink the complimentary coffee when I come in too. Maxine Salon is wonderful and I highly recommend it.
