Best Hair Salons In Champaign

“Grace did an amazing job on my Apothecary treatment. It was such a relaxing experience and I’ll definitely be back again! The business environment itself is also so beautiful and clean!“

“Susu is an extremely talented and friendly hairstylist for those with curly hair. Her salon feels relaxed and welcoming. I called on a Tuesday afternoon on the off chance that she was still accepting walk-ins for the day. I'm so grateful that she ended up having space available, because this is my favorite haircut and experience of my life. She understood exactly what I wanted based on my picture of Jenny Ortega sporting shaggy layers. She encouraged me that I had more curls than I knew (versus other hairstylists have often doubted me so I started calling my hair wavy). She is positive and affirming when chatting with customers, and by the end, I had made a new friend. Susu also took me through all of the instructions for how to keep my curls this defined, from products, to washing schedules, to how to dry hair and sleep in it overnight. She's a wonderful, professional cosmetologist who we are lucky to have in town!“

“Thanks so much to Mary and Joe for styling my hair, you guys were so fun and comfortable to be around. The Den is a chill and relaxed environment with stylists that are clearly committed to their craft. I would highly recommend and I will be back.“

“Brittany is very talented, thorough, and kind. She explains her process and takes her time to do an amazing job. Highly recommend!“

“My son gets hair cut here the barber is James and he is more than a professional I rated 10 star he listen and understand what your describing kudos to G.A.S“

“Went to have my 2 year old son's hair cut. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The stylist was a pro, she bobbed and weaved along with my son turning his head and gave him a great haircut! We will definitely be going back.“

“As someone who is very picky and protective of my hair, I am always concerned going into any new salon. Jessica put that all to rest and is easily the best stylist I’ve ever met, not to mention the best to talk to. As someone who has been to some great hair stylists over the last few years in Chicago, she by far tops them all. She took my reference image and nailed the assignment. I love it so much, and even after less than 24 hours of my new look, I have already received so many compliments on it. I can’t wait to come back and see her soon!“

“I got a low taper textured fringe from Eavin. It was done really well and I liked it a lot.“

“Sara Dalby is so talented. She is confident and skilled. She is patient and caring. Bottom line---she makes me look better!!!! And, I enjoy her company!“

“Tori is an amazing hairdresser and I trust her hands! I hadn’t seen her in a year, but she quickly picked up my thoughts and executed a classy cute cut! Julie is a very kind receptionist and is great at keeping up with guests and staff. She’s a doll to converse with as well. The hairdressers are funky and fun and the salon is full of laughs. The salon is also highly ethical in their products and the owner has done a beautiful job at integrating design and life into the space.“

“I love going to this cute little salon near downtown Champaign. Carly was my first "stylist crush"! Finally finding someone who knew how to cut my curly hair and not make me hate it was life-changing, folks! Look good - check! Feel good - check! Save tons of time by not fighting my hair - check! Hillary has also cut my hair and does a fantastic job. Highly recommend. Go check out Benny & Kay!“

“I was so satisfied with my services because I got exactly what I asked for and paid for. She’s helped me keep my hair healthy each hairstyle!! Highly recommend ?“

“Came in with a mess and Sedona got it all sorted and looking great again. Gave some great advice in the process. She knows her stuff.“

“Mariela did a great job on my back facial this morning

Highly recommend, passionate and talented and professional“

“I love this salon & all of the stylists! My son has gotten his haircut by Ashely for the last 5 years and myself as well! We both love her so much! Within the last couple years, she’s started cutting my husband’s hair as well, so this salon has become our family salon! She also waxes my eyebrows, so I don’t have to make a trip to a separate salon for that separate service! It has been so fun being apart of her journey, starting & growing her business and transforming the salon into her own! It’s just a cherry on top that we happen to live about 3 minutes away, so it’s perfect in every way! ❤️❤️“

“Lou at Lando in Champaign in the nicest guy in the world. Back when I was a poor undergrad Air Force ROTC student, he would a great job of cutting my hair and always say at the end “that’ll fool ‘em.” I grew up in a small town where my family cut my hair and I never realized until later that I should have been tipping poor Lou. He was so friendly and outgoing that I still remember him so today reached out to find that he’s still there after 45 years, and as kind as ever. I wanted to send him his back tips but he laughed and said not to so I’m writing this instead. Thanks, Lou!“

“Hannah does the best job. She does highlights and a cut for me and always gets it right at a decent price.“

“Janelle never disappoints. Great cut and great service. Conditioning treatment and a hair cut and blow out. Everyone in masks. Highly recommend“

“Had been different places to get my daughter hair and I wasn't pleased with the atmosphere, I was very pleased with Creative Image Salon!! Sheywanna did awesome job!! Loved the music very professional.“

“Paige was the make-up artist for my wedding. Before my trial, I had never had anyone else do my makeup, so I was nervous. I had no reason to be; she was so easy to talk to, and a lot of fun! One of my bridesmaids had also never had her makeup professionally done, and she was also instantly put at ease. Paige did great, and everything stayed despite sweating like crazy on the dance floor!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Whitney Fleming! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I truly felt like the most beautiful version of myself all day (and night!). My makeup stayed completely intact — no shine, no smudging, and not a hint of oiliness — even through tears, sweat, nonstop dancing, eating, and hours of celebrating. My hair held its shape perfectly the entire day and somehow still looked amazing even after I finally crashed at the end of the night. Macy Tester also did hair and makeup for my mom and matron of honor, and they looked absolutely stunning!!

Beyond their incredible skill, Whitney and Macy were such a calming, professional, and fun presence to have around on such a big day. They knew exactly how to bring my vision to life and made the entire getting-ready experience feel relaxed and special.

If you’re looking for someone who can make you look and feel amazing — and whose work lasts — look no further. I can’t recommend Whitney and Macy enough!

(ps. will update later once we have the pictures back from the photographer!)“
