If you are looking for a superb haircut in the Chicagoland area, look no further! I only get haircuts maybe twice a year, and I am so glad I chose to go to Maxine! After reading all the reviews on Yelp, I knew that I could trust this salon. Evan Roberts was extremely professional and courteous and was able to direct me to exactly the hair style that I wanted. I came in with long, Rapunzel-length hair and left with a beautifully styled long-layered cut. I'm very attached to my long hair, and he listened to my request to keep my length as much as possible. Evan answered any questions I had about how to style my hair and taught me how to dry and style my hair at home without the use of a thousand products and in minimal time. Also, his shampoo was hands-down one of the best parts of the Maxine experience! I highly recommend Maxine Salon and Evan Roberts!

Serious talent at Maxine I switched to Maxine when my colorist Tracey moved over there. Tracey is outstanding - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She's creative, collaborative, and great to talk to. She pays great attention to detail and is totally on top of her game. She does a great blonde (highlights) for me but I have friends who see her for other colors. I also recommend Evan for cut - he also does a great job. Also really attentive and great customer service. My cut is long and layered. Overall, Maxine is a great salon. Everyone there is friendly and approachable yet the atmosphere feels upscale.

Maxine's is the place to go if you want a quality cut and style Front desk reception is great! They offered me complimentary coffee before I even asked for it. I got my hair colored by Jasen, i showed him a couple pictures and he found the perfect highlights for my natural dark brown hair and fair skin. Evan cut my hair, he is a pro with thick, wavy, frizzy hair, the layers look great Thanks guys!! I will be back before my trip to Costa RIca

I've been going to Maxine for about a year now, and my hair has never looked better! Before, my highlights always seemed to look skunk-like, or too blonde. Then I met Leslie, and my color has never been better. I constantly get compliments on it. She knows how to make it look fresh and beautiful. Evan does my cuts, and he's a dream. He knows how to cut long hair in a stylish way without chopping it like so many other stylists do. Add to the fact that the receptionists are totally sweet, and Maxine is the best! Super happy.

I had been going to the same hair stylist for 7 years (gasp!) at another salon and found myself to be in a bit of a hair rut. Based on the recommendation of a friend I chose Maxines, with Jasen doing my color and Evan doing my haircuts. First- Jasen. He gives me the most perfect highlights using balayage. I never thought I could have such naturally sunkissed hair since I am a natural brunette. He is incredibly patient as he paints my locks, and I never have felt that he was trying to rush me out of the chair. I feel that he is truly taking the time to make my color look its absolute best, and after three times of seeing him I have 100% confidence in him and his opinion. Now Evan. He has given me an entirely new haircut without cutting off my beloved length, so long haired ladies he is your guy! He has made my layers more uniform and beautiful. He really takes his time as he cuts my hair, and the result has been consistently beautiful. He also gives me the most fabulous styling after the cut (just an added bonus) All in all, both Jasen and Evan are absolute sweethearts. Both very fun & easy going guys, and I really look forward to the several hours I spend with them every 7 weeks :) Thanks to Maxines, Jasen, & Evan as you have all made me love my hair again. I never feel less than a million bucks after our afternoons together.

I've been looking for a new home base salon since moving to Streeterville, and after returning from Maxine's, I must say I have found what I was looking for! Evan cut my hair exactly how I described, while spoiling me with a relaxing shampoo and blow dry at the same time. I am definitely coming back for more!

If you want an awesome cut, go see Evan at Maxine. What can I say, Evan is the bee's knees. I have thick hair, and when I get it cut short I always have areas that stick up all over the place. Not when Evan cut my hair. He took his time and gave me the haircut I wanted. Plus, as a bonus, Evan likes sports and music. Two things I enjoy as well and we talked about the Bears, concerts and playing in bands. Needless to say I will be going back to Evan again. Go Bears!

I finally found a great salon!! My hair is thick, wavy and my ends were very fried from a previous color and cut that I wasn't really happy with. Evan cut my hair. He took the width out and made my hair more manageable then any cut that i have ever had. It's not too short and not to long, just perfect. Josh colored my hair and fixed my too blond highlights. He made my naturally dark brown hair more richer and even added some subtle red! Staff was very friendly and offered my coffee and refills. Very caring.

I am so impressed with this salon! I was super nervous about finding a new stylist in Chicago, but I went to Evan Roberts, and he gave me the best cut I've ever had. He works great with long hair, and listened carefully to what I wanted before getting started. I'm getting married, and I was worried about getting too much chopped off. He just took off a little. Evan gave me a great cut, with beautiful layering towards my face. I highly recommend him and the Maxine salon!

I went to Maxine for the first time this past Friday and Evan was my stylist. My hair is fairly long, really thick, straight, but frizzy, and difficult to cut/style. I'm trying to grow it longer, but my hair was so uneven in the back. He truly listened to me and to what I wanted. He is super patient and took his time cutting and styling my hair and didn't rush through it at all. He gave me the most awesome bangs and fixed the un-eveness in the back and added some layers so that it wouldn't look too heavy. I love my new hair. I will definitely return and recommend him to my friends. Thanks Evan!
