OK, I know my salons. I've tried 'em all--from Trio, Tracocci and Tresoures to Sin Qua Non, Genacelli, Red 7, and Salon Blue. Don't get me wrong, each of those places has great talent--cutters and colorists who are dedicated to their craft. But I know every time I fork out $100-plus for my cut and color at one of those places that only a portion goes to the person who did all the work. The salon owner gets the bulk of it. That's not the case at Norayne's. This fabulous cut and colorist stays on top of styles and is so passionate about her work that she has bravely opened her own shop. Don't be fooled by the size of the place. The quarters are tight by big-business-salon standards. But the treatment is lavish--hand-delivered drinks and magazines, an incredible scalp rub and scintillating conversation. Pros: Thumbs up--it offers big-salon quality in an intimate setting. Cons: It's just Norayne doing hair, so you can't get a pedicure while you wait for color. more

Norayne rules. She is an incredibly well-rounded stylist : 1) a fantastic colorist, 2) always full of ideas on how to keep your cut current and cute, 3) uses wonderful products (that she doesn't push on you) and 4) she's so personable that the time will fly while you're in her studio. more

I moved to Chicago from Ohio 6 weeks ago and was in search for a wonderful hair stylist. I needed a more trendy look for my new home!! I wasn't sure what I wanted. Norayne was very knowledgeable and up to date on current hair styles. Norayne took time explaining what hair style would complement my features. the end result was fabulous! I left extremely happy and feeling confident with my new look. I've had nothing but positive feedback on my new look. I love my new hair and new home! ! ! Thank you Norayne. more
