Need a Hairstyle Makeover

Hi Moms,
I need a makeover :) I'm sick of my hair and it seems that every time I get it cut, the hirstylist just asks what I want and does what I tell her. And I don't know what I want. I need someone to look at my face, my hair type and lifestyle and advise me on a hairstyle. Can anyone recommend anyone in the Western suburbs? We live in Downers Grove and although I'll go anywhere to get someone to tell me what to do, I would prefer someone close so that I can continue going there in the future.
Thanks!

What can I do next?

I had your same problem and got so tired of my hair that I just picked a name on-line after reading the reviews. I went to Lotus Salon & Spa in Wheaton ###-###-####. Christine is the sole proprietor. The only thing I told her was that I wanted my hair cut-off. She looked at my face asked questions and started cutting. I love what she did. I think the real test of a good hair cut is after you wash it and it still looks good. I took the risk as I figured that it's just hair and will grow back if I didn't like the cut. I'm glad I did. Good luck with your search. I know how frustrating it is to find the right stylist.

I recently used Becky at Amber Waves in downtown Naperville because she was recommended to me and I really liked her. She listened to me and made suggestions. She can be reached at the salon on ###-###-####. If you're interested, let me know because I have a discount coupon that I can share with you.

You might want to try Eileen @ Colorific of Bolingbrook. It is right off of Boughton Rd & 355 (across from IKEA). I have been going to her for a few years and have been very happy, and she is always excited to try new things & suggest styles for me. Their prices are VERY reasonable, and you can find their price menu on their website.

I've been going through the same feelings about my hair! Maybe it's the time of year... Anyway, I go to Ross at Salon Hype in LaGrange (although they also have a Burr Ridge location, which might be closer for you). I started going to him several years ago because I'd heard he does a good job of determining what cut would be best for one's type of hair and face shape. He has not disappointed. My recent dissatisfaction with my hair was due to a) the length we left it after my last cut (I needed enough for an undo for a special occasion) and b) the length of time since my last cut (13 weeks). So when I went in this past Saturday, I needed something different. We talked about what I wanted (I don't have a lot of time to spend on my hair, so whatever we did, it needed to be easy to manage), and then he gave me his suggestions. I LOVE the outcome! He is great at what he does. I know numerous people who also go to Salon Hype, although they see different stylists...but they all love whoever they see. So while I'm partial to Ross, you probably can't go wrong with any of the stylists. Just ask when you call to make the appt. for the stylist that will best be able to look at your hair and suggest styles that will work best for you. The receptionist should then pair you up with the best person for that. Good luck!

Gina is awesome! Her salon is in Naperville. She is fabulous, and has helped me with my hairstyle. She has a great eye, is very talented and helped 'match' my hairstyle with my lifestyle, looks & hair type. She showed me a new way to fix my hair that has gotten me soooo many compliments. I get stopped all the time by people of all ages( preschooler to elderly grandparents) telling me that they love my hair.
