Gisell took care of me and spent a good amount of time listening to what I wanted. I added on a pop of color( frame color) after discussing the look I was going for and that color turned out exactly as expected. She applied it carefully meaning I did not leave with the pop of purple pink color on my skin, which I absolutely despise when someone is sloppy and rushed.I also asked her to break up the brightness of my highlights by adding lowlights. I had been getting lighter and lighter and though it was nice…I wanted something a bit different for fall in terms of lightness.She did this and gave me what I asked for, but the finished color came out a bit darker than I wanted. Having said this, by no means is it a dealbreaker because I still have a dark blonde tone that is really nice(see pictures). If I had to do it over I’d probably ask for more highlights next time with fewer lowlights, but it’s never easy to know exactly what 15 foils means of lowlights and 10 of highlights for example. I know she mentioned I’d only get a face framing with a partial highlight and I definitely didn’t want that! So this is very acceptable and looks gorgeous as is and my pop of color will lighten with washing so I’ll get a much brighter look around my face framing with washing. I don’t expect my other tones to change much at all with the exception of the gloss dulling in a few weeks, but that’s typical.For reference I’ll add my previous hair color in a picture.. I did a 3/4 highlight at Gordon . Which means I have nothing done in the under layers. I like this because it gives different dimension and tones when I do a braid whether it be a French braid or a single waterfall braid. I also like the darker color coming out of the bottom in the previous highlights only (color job done before somewhere else)Giselle has a nice personality, not pushy and not to aggressive. She’s different than my regular colorist in this way, but it’s a very good thing. I felt taken care of and relaxed around her and not rushed or like I was a bother. She’s very low key and it fits my needs perfectly!!!Though I love my colorist Liz at the salon I’ve been going to in Lincolnshire, the attitude at the other spa is friendly but fake. I’ve been a client there for 3 years after moving to the area. Here at Gordon in Wilmette, I felt like it was more relaxed and less competitive among the front desk and stylists and colorists. I came in on a Wednesday at 1 which is right when they open (due to pandemic change of hours)Gordon is a smaller salon in Wilmette and it feels right for me. I live 30 minutes North, but I’ll definitely be back for more services with Giselle. I’ll stick with Liz also for color in the spring to mix it up one time and to see if the other salon changes, but I doubt it will. It’s their vibe.I am curious to see what develops over time in terms of Giselle’s aesthetic and style. I’ll update in 6 months again.

Always professional and very safe during the pandemic. Pam listens to what I want and cuts and colors my hair expertly. I am not good with hair and her cuts are easy for me to maintain.

If you haven’t seen Alexis and Carrie, What are you waiting for!!! These ladies are truly talented and have the vision to give you, what you want! I had the pleasure of having Alexis do my color and Carrie for my haircut. These wonderful ladies made this mama, who just had twins (4 months ago) feel beautiful and like herself again.

Mary was wonderful. She listened to my requests and then gave a relaxing lavender head massage before we started the haircut. After that she helped me with a special detail for an upcoming wedding. She and the staff were so kind and accommodating!

Always lovely, super professional and timely. Their services are done well and with a careful diligence. On this one occasion a color treatment from a week ago did not go as planned and they immediately made it right! The amazing folk at Gordon Wilmette made me feel better than ever! I will not be seeking out any other place to serve my hair needs!! This salon is amazing. Highly, highly recommended!

I love every appointment I have ever had at Gordon Salon in Wilmette. My original hair stylist left for maternity leave and I was matched up with Olivia. She is excellent!! She listens to what my image is and creates a masterpiece! I speak nothing but highly of this salon and the out of this world customer service! Olivia makes me feel spectacular during the process and of course when my hair is complete! Definitely recommend this salon and stylist Olivia.

I loved every minute spent at Gordon Salon. Olivia, my stylist, greeted me and asked me what I was looking for in the way of a hairstyle. She was complimentary and eager to get to work. Kaylee started me off with an aromatherapy scalp massage and then whisked me away to the shampoo area and I was SO pleased the chair was appropriate and comfortable for my height. The experience was luxurious and I was so relaxed and never wanted to leave! I even got a conditioning treatment. Olivia cut and blowed dried my hair and answered all my questions and offered advice on hair care. I chose to purchase some shampoo and an oil to use. No one pressured me into buying anything and it was a pleasure from start to finish. I wish I could have stayed in that shampoo bowl all day!Deb

Scheduled an appointment for my son (8) with Alexa Grzych for a cut and coloring. Alexa was so great with him making conservation and keeping him comfortable during the entire process (1.5 hours)....which is not easy. After the cut and coloring my son said “I love my hair and that was the most fun I had getting my haircut” Thank you so much Alexa for a great experience and looking forward to our next visit!

I went to Kailah with the hopes of getting an easier-to-manage haircut. She gave me such a cute cut—like a longish pixie. I was comfortable with the staff wearing masks.

I have always enjoyed my hair care services from Gordon Salon in Wilmette. I most recently became a more frequent customer of senior stylist, Mary and Ive gotten my hair cut, colored and styled with her. Mary has been such a delight to visit and her work is exceptional.The front desk receptionists are so friendly and helpful. The Covid precautions that are being taken at the salon make me feel safe, comfortable and welcomed. I highly recommend Gordon Salon Wimette.

I have been going to Gordon Salon in Wilmette for 7 or 8 years now. I find it to be consistently a very, very satisfactory experience. I actually really love it there and LOVE LOVE LOVE my stylist/colorist ♥️♥️EMMIE♥️♥️ I can come in with pictures and ideas and EMMIE make it happen. She really listens and then has the talent to execute on whatever you ask for! If you go, ask for EMMIE!!!Anyway, I’m always thrilled with the results and I feel like it’s reasonable in pricing compared to other salons in the North Shore. The atmosphere is warm, professional but not haughty or intense. Stylists there seem to enjoy their work and it’s a lovely place to be while getting your hair done. I appreciate the responsiveness in scheduling and accommodation of work schedules and more. Also appreciate that there isn’t a constant up selling of products by the staff which is so unpleasant when I have been to other salons. I highly recommend trying Gordon Salon! You won’t be disappointed!

I had a great experience here! The whole salon was relaxing and clean. The employees were sweet and welcoming. Giselle is who I had cut and highlight my hair and she did AMAZING! I had never colored my hair before and was nervous, Giselle was so kind and listened to what I wanted. Together we talked and she got an idea and her work turned out better than I could ever have imagined. I can’t wait for my next appointment with her!!!

Have always had a professional and enjoyable experience at the salon. Always extremely professional and considerate of my time and my satisfaction. AND the icing on the cake is my stylist is wonderful. Always takes the time to talk with me about what I am happy with, where working, what isn’t. It’s gotten to where she knows exactly what I need. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable visit every time

I’ve been going to Gordon’s for 2 years and I love it. I see Haley for cut and color and she does a fantastic job, I highly recommend her. The salon has an awesome vibe - it’s super laid back, the stylists like each other which is a great quality, it’s really clean, and I love the shampoo area - I feels like a spa. If you’re looking for a quality hair salon with easy parking, I highly recommend Gordon’s!

Carrie has done my hair for years and I cannot imagine trusting anyone else! She listens to what I want (even though I don’t always describe it well) and is perfection at her trade! ! Cut, color, style...you name it and you’ll be happy. She is personable and easy to talk to as well. This makes my salon day feel more like “lunch with an old friend” kind of day.

Ive had my hair cut and styled by Haley a few times, and every time Im genuinely satisfied with the results. She listens to what I want, and if I ask her to take a little more off after its blown dry, she does so happily - and it comes out amazing. Everyone at the salon is helpful and friendly. If anyone ever asks for a recommendation, I tell them to check out Gordon Salon without hesitation.

This was my first time at Gordons Salon Wilmette, but certainly not my last. Im 73 years old and was growing my hair for the past 6 years because I have fine and thinning hair. I read some reviews about Emmie, they were great reviews and I know why. Emmie is a teriffic young lady. I showed her pictures of how I thought my hair should be cut. She listened and looked at the pictures I brought in and at my face...What a great haircut she gave me! I just love it and I love her too. I will be back in 5 week for another cut. I reccomend Emmie highly to anyone who wants a teriffic cut. Thanks Emmie you Rock Girl! 💖🥰💖

I switched salons to Aveda Gordon earlier this year and could not be happier. They follow COVID protocols, its always clean and everyone is super friendly.

I have been a regular with Emmie for years and she was the first person I saw outside my bubble once Covid became an issue. The salon is practicing every caution to protect me without compromising the warmth, friendliness and total professionalism I expect from Gordon. I recommend the salon wholeheartedly. You will be safe, welcome and happy with the results.

Kristen M has cut my hair since she started. I’ve always got a great cut and I have never had to repeat what I wanted.I started with her at the Glenview salon and have followed her since. The haircut is always great but it’s nice to have someone who genuinely is interested in making you feel comfortable and giving you a great cut! Definitely recommend

In the past few years Mel and I have had a lot of fun playing with variations on a pixie. Now we’re having fun playing with variations on growing out a pixie. Mel is creative, patient, and full of suggestions. A visit to Gordon is always replenishing, and is especially so now. Thanks, friends, for the warm and caring safe space.

I’ve tried many hair salons before coming to Gordon Salon several years ago. It is so hard to find stylist who can work with extremely thin hair. When I’m done with my appointments with Haley, I forget that my hair is that way. Also my daughter loves coming and getting her haircut with Haley too!

I have been coming to Gordon Salon in Wilmette for several years. My daughter and son (20s) also get their hair styled here. Our stylist is Haley. She is excellent ~ Professional, friendly, creative and able to suggest solutions for my less than ideal hair. The salon is a perfect size — not too large, so the atmosphere is relaxing and calm but there is a steady level of activity. They offer the full range of hair services and use Aveda products exclusively. The front desk staff are lovely and very accommodating. They renovated the salon prior to the pandemic and it is clean and modern. I have felt completely comfortable going to the salon during the pandemic based in their covid protocols.

Review №61

Gordon Aveda never disappoints! The high-level skill set of their stylists is matched only by their relationship building - they genuinely care about your satisfaction. The true Rockstar, for me, is Molly! I have crazy hair. Between getting it amazingly smooth & sleek, as well as coaching me through growing out the gray in such a way that I get stopped on the street to tell me how cool my hair looks, she is nothing short of a magician!
