Shelly Aguirre

Shelly Aguirre, Stylist, Maxine Salon ChicagoShelly’s hard-working, positive and upbeat personality make her one of Chicago’s most sought after stylists and salon educators and Maxine Salon is excited to add her to our team.

Growing up in the salon environment, Shelly completed Pivot Point Cosmetology School in 1996 and joined Chicago’s prestigious TRIO Salon in 1996. Shelly styled hair until 2000 when she left for love and is now a proud mother of a 7 year old boy, Antonio.

During this leave of absence and through the present, the desire for hair led Shelly to join the Aquage team of National Educators. Since 1999, Shelly has traveled and shared her craft, attending sales meetings and teaching product knowledge classes at salons and major trade shows throughout the United States.

Shelly then returned to Chicago and to Trio Salon in 2004 and remained there until January 2010, working full time behind the chair and servicing a formidable clientele. From precision haircutting, to lavish up-do’s and chignons to hair extensions, specializing in Great Lengths, So-Cap and Klix techniques and Coppola Keratin Smoothing Treatments Shelly mastered it all.

Shelly’s drive and talents have enabled her to style hair at numerous fashion shows including famous courtiers such as Plaza Escada, Neiman Marcus and Saks 5th Avenue.
“Practice plus Patience equals Perfection” is Shelly’s mantra as she is often seen playing away on mannequins and “Giving back is when you receive the most” her core philosophy. 

Shelly's haircuts are $90.00

Love, love, love Shelly A.

Love, love, love Shelly A. for her great cuts. I have followed her from her previous salon and I won't let anyone else cut my hair. Go see Shelly, you won't be disappointed.

incredibly friendly & warm

Maxine is fabulous, the kind of upscale salon you expect to find in a city like Chicago. I used the Yelp deal (50% off color & cut with Tracey and Shelly for first time customers), and was blown away at the deal. The salon itself is beautiful. After waiting a few minutes upstairs I met Tracey who took me back to her station. She was VERY attentive to what I wanted, and made sure that we were both on the same page. While Tracey worked on my color Shelly came in to meet me & find out what I wanted for my cut. While I waited to rinse my color out I had a glass of white wine & indulged in their impression selection of (current) magazines. After my color Shelly trimmed, shaped AND gave me a beautiful blowout. The end result was awesome! My hair is a beautiful rose-gold like strawberry blonde, and my hair had perfect layers. I now understand why they're known for their celebrity cliental. The best part is, for being such an upscale salon they're incredibly friendly & warm. It might be on the pricey side, but I couldn't be happier with my experience at Maxine. I'll definitely be back.

Love my Shelly Aguirre!....I have shorter hair & always looking for a new hip refresh.......Shelly listens & gives me the latest look Now that it is summer, I am finding I don't always have the time to finish styling & my hair still looks great! I highly recommend Shelly for a hot look & her professionalism!

Shelly rocks!

Shelly rocks! Shelly gave me the best cut and style! She is a true expert. I was ready for a change and she suggested the best style for my face. It really complimented my features as I had no clue. I also am a big fan of blow outs and Shelly is a true expert. I can tell the difference if the stylist knows what they are doing! My blow out lasted for days and smoothed my hair out perfectly. ( I was not blessed with straight hair).

Give them a try and I promise you won't regret it

two suggestions for anyone who wants to look and feel like a million bucks: Shelly Aguirre for a cut and Diana Mildice for color. My hair has always been my security blanket. Rain or shine, gain a few pounds or have a bad skin day, i always depend on my hair to keep me feeling confident. This is thanks to these two amazing women. I'll start with Shelly. I love love love her and what she does with my over worked, long, thick hair. I've been following her to different salons for almost 5 years now and I am so happy she is now at Maxine's! Shelly always gives me the perfect cut and unlike a lot other hair dressers i've seen she listens to what I want. Every time I have walked out of an appointment with her I feel like a bombshell and get so many compliments! Diana is an artist. When I told Shelly I wanted to go blonde about a year and a half ago she recommended me to Diana and I never looked back. I am a naturual brunette and Diana has transformed my hair into the best color it has ever been. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people have asked me where I get my color done and time and time again I recommend Diana! Now that they are both working at Maxine's I couldn't be happier! Give them a try and I promise you won't regret it

Shelly Aguirre is an awesome stylist! I've been going to her for years - I wouldn't trust my haircuts to anyone else. So glad she ended up at Maxine's - what a great salon for a great stylist!

I am definitely going to Maxine's now that Shelly Aguirre is there.

I am definitely going to Maxine's now that Shelly Aguirre is there. Shelly has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past three years and she has done a wonderful job always making sure my hair has been on trend. I have been growing my hair out and I have never had a cut where I didn't receive complements the next day! She is also really helpful in recommending the correct products for my hair so that it always looks shiny and healthy.
