Norayne's Studio Salon

I found Norayne's salon by searching on this site. How luckey for me! It has been a few weeks since my cut, I wanted to make sure it stayed as awesome as when I left the salon. Bingo! Norayne's high energy, fun personality is a blessing. I love her dedication to her craft....you can tell she really enjoys what she does. Pros: Great cut, location, sparkling personality more

I am new to Chicago and a new mom. Both have gotten me grey. I previously was a highlighted medium blonde on my mouse brown, but being a mom to a beautiful copper penny baby boy- I decided it was time for a change. I went to Norayne with a photo and she matched the color perfectly with a highlight on half virgin/grey and half highlighted head. No easy task. It looked really good. Unfortunately, I got home, sat with the color, and wasn't falling in love with it. I called her and she asked me to come in. Not only was she just as happy to see me as the first visit- she thanked me for coming in! She consulted me, listened to what I wanted and KAPOW! I am looking at a head of red hair- in a hue I wouldn't have chosen, but it looks gorgeous! I can't say enough about her skill, her professionalism, and the overall experience. I left looking and feeling great. This lovely lady knows her craft! Pros: Willing to go to the ends of the earth to make me happy! more

I moved to Chicago from the East Coast a year ago and tried a few places before I found the best salon at Norayne's. Now I would go nowhere else. With my busy schedule, she is extremely flexible and has often stayed late to fit me in. It is a relaxing and private environment but Norayne is also a ton of fun to talk to while she is treating you. I always love the cut and color! more

I just went to see Norayne for the first time the week of Thanksgiving. I just moved to the area and was looking for a new salon near my house. I saw that she got great reviews on Citysearch so I called to see if I could get an appointment. I knew the week of Thanksgiving is a busy time and she was pretty much booked when I called, but she said she would stay late one night so I could see her. It was nice that she was willing to work around my schedule. The whole experience was great and very relaxing. I loved the way the studio is set up and she did do a fantastic job on my hair! It was the first time in a long time that I didn't come home and immediately go to a mirror to try to ""fix "" my hair. I got color and a cut and both were done PERFECTLY, she even a suggested a new color that turned out great. I have gotten a lot of compliments and I will definitely go back to see her! Pros: Everything more

Whenever I go to Norayne's Salon I feel excited because it's like I'm giving a little gift to myself. It feels peaceful, easy and like I'm treating myself to beauty. She loves her work and it shows in the results. I also like that she's easy to converse in general and about what changes I may want for my hair. She makes sure to clarify with me so that we are both on the same page. I have been going to her for years and have sent many friends and they are all very happy with the results. Men and women both have come back to me with a thank you for sending me to her. She's also very helpful to work with my schedule when I'm having a busy time in my life but need to get in. Thanks Norayne! more

I got my haircut at Norayne's salon because a friend suggested it and it was great! She not only gave me an awesome haircut that i have been getting many compliments on, but was also great to talk too. I highly recomend her. more

While I don't color my hair, I am the girl who grows her hair long only to cut it back off and start over again...and always changing up the cut along the way! Norayne always has fun new ideas for hair styles and her relaxing friendly salon is the best way to relax after a day at work. And, Norayne offers the best value in the city. I've paid much more for a far inferior hair cut. Thanks, Norayne! more

I moved to Chicago last year from a smaller area of New York and was terrified of finding a new salon. The prices here are so much more expensive than I'm used to and I didn't know who to trust. Shortly after I arrived, I went to a cheap place where they completely messed up my cut. After that, I was avoiding getting my hair cut because I was terrified of someone messing it up. Then, I decided to dye my blonde hair red with temporary dye. Unfortunately, my red hair faded into a pink (Norayne, I'm sure you remember), and I could wait no longer. I searched this website and found Norayne and couldn't be happier! She sat down with me to discuss my options to get my golden blonde back, and she let me decide which way I'd prefer. She turned my faded pink into a beautiful strawberry blonde. A few months later, I was able to go back and get the rest of my color back (and it matched so well!). After both visits, I received tons of compliments on the shade and the cut. I would definitely recommend Norayne for anyone but especially for highlights or coloring. Her services are great, she's so sweet, and her prices can't be beat. more

I spent the last twenty minutes of my time writing a review for this, and then I accidentally clicked a bookmark. I would NOT be spending the time doing this again if it wasn't worth it. more

Amazing cuts, color, style and overall experience! Norayne is incredibly talented and always takes the time to listen to her clients which is evident in the beautiful results. I would recommend her highly to anyone! more

The first words that come to mind when I describe the way I feel after my experience at Norayne's Studio Salon is, ""absolutely beautiful!"" Also I must add, energized, refreshed, stunning and radiant! These are all of the things you too will feel once you get the chance to receive Norayne's one-on-one personalized, and not to mention, all together friendly and FUN salon service, and THAT'S a promise! Pros: great color and highlighting, atmosphere Cons: No cons from my perspective! more

I found Norayne on a whim; I was new to Chicago and had no idea where to go so I happened upon her shop via Citysearch. I am so glad I did! Norayne is friendly, personable, and welcoming. She is laid-back in her approach but she makes sure she knows what you want before she goes to work and she is a master of her craft. You know when you have an idea of what you want, but you can't quite describe it or find the perfect picture, but you really want your stylist to get it just right? That's what Norayne does. She got my color PERFECT when I said, ""well..... I kind of what it blonde, but not too blonde, but with a little brown.... but I still want it blonde overall.... and maybe some copper."" She took that and made it EXACTLY what I had imagined. I always get compliments on my hair when I get my hair done with Norayne and I won't go anywhere else but to her. She also beats out the over-priced and overrated salons/spas because besides the personal attention she gives, she also isn't pushy with product. If she asks you what product you use, it isn't so she can then launch into a sales pitch for whatever product she has; she's asking because she wants to know. She will certainly make recommendations if you ask but she won't push anything on you. Pros: excellent at her craft, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive Cons: none from my perspective! more

Not only is she very good at what she does- She is passionate about it. I walk in and Norayne takes charge- she gives me a couple of choices that she thinks would work for my coloring and personality, I make my choice, and from there I sit back, relax, and let the hairapy begin. I look forward to each session. Did I mention that she has a stocked fridge with anything from bottled water to wine? ! You owe it to yourself to make an appointment. Pros: it's not an appointment! Its an experience. more

If you are looking for a true hair artist, then you must visit Norayne?s Studio Salon. I visited her for the first time to get my hair done for a wedding I was attending. I wasn?t sure what I wanted but Lorayne was able to figure out the perfect hair do within minutes of me seating on the hair salon chair. I couldn?t be happier with my hair (I received so many compliments at the wedding) and even happier with the price (15% off as a first time visitor!!). Pros: great stylist, great price more

As a newly transplated New Yorker i had no idea where to find a stylist in Chicago. I'm so happy I found Norayne! She worked with my hair and face shape to create a look that fit me and my personality. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great new stylist. more

She really is wonderful. She is sweet, funny, hip, and extremely talented. She sacrificed her time to fix the mess I had created with my hair. She did a fantastic job. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much Norayne. Pros: Norayne Cons: Parking more

I am not usually one to give a write up ,but YOU have to go to Norayne's Studio Salon!!! I use to be blonde and then went dark. I enjoyed it for some time but was ready to get my blonde back. I have tried SO many Salons and haven't been happy with the outcome. My hair always looked really gold and sometimes orange and brassy. When I explained this to Norayne she explained what she was going to do and by gosh....SHE DID IT!!!!! I love my hair and my CUT just put the cherry on the sundae!! I will never go anywhere else again. You MUST see her. If you have any reservations she will explain in full detail what she is going to do and you will have total faith in her. You won't regret it. She is the best stylist I have ever met!!!!!! Pros: Great personality and very knowledgeable with her color line more

I just received highlights and lowlights - love them! They look good with my complexion. My daughter received lots of highlights. She's just 16 so she wanted a more dramatic look. She loves her hair! Norayne talked to us beforehand to make sure that she did what was right for us. She did a fantastic job! I have fine hair. The cut Norayne gave me looks good - and it's easy to take care of. Norayne has a very comfortable salon. She is fun and easy to talk to. If you want personal attention and a great hair experience, Norayne's Studio Salon is definitely the place to go!! Pros: cozy, comfortable, lots of attention more

Best haircut & color I've ever had! Norayne is awesome - loved the whole experience and the end result was fantastic ... found Norayne on citysearch randomly and so happy I did! I also got a great new hair straightener she recommended! Thanks Norayne! more

I found Norayne's Studio Salon here on City Search. What a GREAT experience I had. Norayne works alone in a one person studio. She greeted me with a huge smile and when I left she thanked me with a hug. Norayne has a huge talent with hair. I received highlights/lowlights. I wasn't sure what I exactly wanted. We looked in color books and she gave me her expert opinion. I LOVE the color. She gave me a wonderful cut also. She takes her time and truely gives her all to making you happy. You can tell she loves what she does. Norayne listens to you and will explain things step by step. Go see Norayne.....She is GREAT!!!! Thanks Norayne. See you in 8-10 weeks!!!
