About Maxine

Enter salon Maxine and you are surrounded by modern luxury. Themes of cracked glass, corrugated stainless steel and pristine white are repeated throughout. The staff is warm and welcoming.

Our highly trained, expert stylists and colorists work with you to achieve your personal best. Ongoing education and freedom to experiment produce exciting new techniques like Bali-Cut, The Halo Effect and Disconnected Fringe. All these techniques have enjoyed national recognition in top magazines.

Maxine is a Chicago Flagship L'Oréal Professionnel Haircolor Center. We're able to demystify the procedure and fully involve you in your color selection. Modeled after a high-end cosmetics bar, this is where you can get up close and personal with your color options for a fearless and fun hair color experience.

We take a serious approach to skin care. We use TRUE Cosmetics, which offers advanced solutions for every skin type and need. Their products contain the super anti-aging, anti-oxidant ingredient Idebenone and beneficial botanicals. Clients also rave about our customized waxing and spa manicures and pedicures.

Our retail store offers the best hair products on the market from Kérastase and Shu Uemura, plus TRUE's skin care and color line.

TRAINING PROGRAM AT MAXINE

Why are our stylists and colorists simply the best? It starts with our in-house training program. We spend between one and two years educating our assistants. The training program is based on a solid foundation of fail-safe cutting and coloring principles honed over many years of experience.

At Maxine, we believe it's important to focus on specialization. That's why you won't find a stylist who also colors, and vice versa. Specialization allows our trainees to really excel because their training is more intense in one area instead of broad-based in two.

Trends are taught as applications to a secure foundation. This insures a great look that is current, creative and functional. Our creative director and select colorists are continuously sent around the globe to keep them fresh and add international exposure to their teaching abilities. They keep the rest of the staff up-to-date with current fashion trends on a regular basis.

KERASTASE TREATMENT

Salon Maxine is a Kérastase Flagship Salon. The Kérastase Treatment Institute within the salon has been designed to pamper and envelop you in the total Kérastase experience.

After a comprehensive hair and scalp evaluation by one of our professionals, a personalized in-salon Kérastase ritual is prescribed.

The Kérastase ritual fuses advanced technology with the highest level of personalized care. It includes a custom prescribed treatment and a rejuvenating scalp, neck and shoulder massage that restores balance to your hair and personal well-being.
