R Hanna I always have a great time here and from professional looks to some fun colors, they have never disappointed. I followed Brittanie from her previous location and she is amazing. Most recently I have been letting her pick colors for me and it has been the best experience. I have gotten to try so many new looks.

Ian Taylor Came here to get a haircut and Edvin goes above and beyond. He listens to what you ask for and definitely delivers above expectations. He is friendly and easy to get a long with! I definitely will be back again and am making sure I get Edvin to cut my hair.

betty guerrero Just had my two year anniversary of going from my natural dark brown hair to blonde with Rachel this past February and I couldn’t be more pleased with her as not only my hair stylist but a true friend. She has always been honest with her professional input on what will and what won’t work on my hair. I’ve religiously been going back to her every six weeks and every time I leave the salon feeling like a million bucks! I recommend her to everyone and I’m so happy to say that she is my forever stylist! I trusted her with my daughters first professional haircut and even she felt so at ease with her.

Shyane Grenoble I love her so much ! I’ve been going here for yrs & I’ll never switch my eyebrow lady!

MissAmy Weeks I go here all the time for my lashes. This lady is very nice, keeps the salon clean and does a great job. My lashes stay on 3 weeks usually before having to do a 5 dollar fix. Unless I do something to ruin them. Wonderful place!

Amber I have found this gem in Wal Mart one day just passing by. I went to other places for my eye brows and was NEVER satisfied as I was leaving here. She does an amazing job on my brows and actually knows what she is doing. She has done my whole face and I cant say I have ever had that done, but very trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring.

Camille Lawson I am the daughter who referred my mom to a shop I get my braids done at and my mom who has hair loss from meds for seizures and ptsd she is a survivor. She was left under a dryer for over 2 hrs she was side eyed for her hair loss by not just her stylist Tay but staff. My mom left more broken then she arrived but they charged the going rate for a wig install thanks Bomb

King Gee Stepped through the threshold, an was cater to like a King!

Christen M If I could rate it more stars I would!! Louie was my stylist, he gave me a cut, style, and color. He’s very detailed in the steps he takes and cares about clients comfort, asking every step of the way how things were and if I needed anything, he’s a very lively person and an all around joy to be around.

J Califf Teresa is the best! She is kind and very knowledgeable with her stylings. Her recommendations on what I come to her with to do to my hair are better than my ideas. Shes been flexible with my schedule, and sends me a reminder of our appointment! I so appreciate that! The salon is very tidy and it feels comfortable to be there. I even saw another stylist work her magic on her client. Wow! It was beautiful!!! You should give them a call if you are reading this review!

Carla D Im very impressed with Teressa who did my haircut today. She is very professional and knowledgeable about haircuts, style, and how to take good care of your hair at home. Nice salon! Thank you, Teressa!

Jola Willis I’ve been to many hairstylists and Teresa stands out by her professional customer service! She is very friendly and knowledgeable regarding hair, products and more. I would highly recommend her service at the salon. Thank you Teresa so very much for always making my hair look beautiful!

Kat Kibben Derek gave me the best cut of my life. Im a trans and non-binary person with curly hair. Going to a salon is not something I look forward to, but I was losing hair in some spots after taking T. That haircut Ive had since my 20s wasnt working anymore. I sent some pictures and Derek did an incredible job. He deeply listened to all the little worries, never misgendered me, and took the time to let me just relax. I never felt rushed or like he was trying to get me out of the chair like I do at the barber shop. It was gender-affirming in every way. Plus, theres little affirmations all over the salon to remind you it is a safe place for the LGBT+ community. Even gender neutral pricing and bathrooms. Ill be back a hundred more times.

Dane I first went to Meta a few days before my first time being in a wedding party. It had been years since my last haircut, but Derek quickly eased my nerves. He wasnt bluffing when he said he was good at making haircuts look "lived in"; my new hairstyle looked as though it was one Id always had. He worked well with my hair type that many others had botched, and made good on his promise to give me something easy to style that would grow out well over time. Derek is very good at meeting you at your level. I show up to every appointment not knowing how to describe what I want and I always leave with what I wanted.

Britta Engels Personally I have social anxiety and anxiety about getting my haircut. Sabrina always makes me feel comfortable and she makes sure to make you feel welcome and accepted. The staff is just as accommodating. I seriously cannot go anywhere else. Love this salon!

V Kuhl Well.....it was nice and all. Clean and tidy and friendly. The stylist took over an hour to cut my hair which is only as long as the bottom of my ears. I asked for an asymmetrical cut as that is what i needed trimming. She seemed to not know what an asymmetrical cut was. Then she argued as to what I wanted. I just dont understand how I can get what I want from my regular company which is not in this area and another stylist does not understand what an asymmetrical cut is. How one stylist can take 20 minutes and another one take over an hour. And then to be charged $50 for a short hair trim! Nope. This is not my place. I tried. And in the end it wasnt what I wanted.

Alyssa T Beautiful and clean atmosphere! This salon definitely stands out ✨️✨️ Anne Larson is an amazing stylist.

Pattie Armstrong Very! Satisfied. Rita went out of her way to get me in. Thank you so much my hair looks great...

Luisa Hernandez I came in to get my hair dyed red. On her website, I couldnt really find what I was looking for and clicked on hair color, which was $100. I have had my hair dyed previously by another professional and still had the bleach in. I went in and the service I was looking for was about $200. I understand hair is expensive, but just a warning to those looking to go in for dye. The service wasnt terrible. There was a new girl and I really like her and she was nice! She started to do my hair and was super chill. Nelly was also nice but just made some unusual comments about my face ("we need pictures but also need makeup" "your face is greasy enough for the dye to not stick") which I just took as nellys "quirk". My hair was curled and it was another charge, got pictures taken, and went home. They were nice and gave me a shower cap since it was raining and I appreciated that. The next day, I had a horrible headache and looked at my head and it was covered in blisters. I have psoriasis but I never had that kind of reaction before. I went straight to the doctors and was given medication and told that it was a chemical burn due to the hair dye or bleach being left in and not washed out properly. I went home, washed my hair, and the blisters were gone within a couple days. Unfortunately, it did leave a bald spot. I did send her a text explaining that I would go to the doctors and update her. After hearing this, I didnt want to deal with going back and the drama. To top it off, I have had this all done a month ago. Ive had my hair dye last me 2-3 months without fading due to the products I use and my washing routine. I had already lost all of the color and Im so disappointed that I spent that amount for color that lasted just that bit. I explained to her my worries about the color fading before picture day (this past week) and she also explained that she could do a touch up. After my experience, I couldnt justify going back. I was told she gives great haircuts and she has a very loyal customer service. Shes worked hard for her clientele and I have to give her respect for that. The new person there does eyebrows and shes super nice. The other woman there does nails and she did an amazing job on others while I was there. I hope that this honest review doesnt hold people back for going to these services. I just cant justify going back for my red hair experience.

Heather Jonas I was referred to Nelly by a friend whos been going to her for years. I was looking for someone to remove my extensions and put it new ones. I got my old ones taken out, my hair colored and new ones put it. She colored my hair to the exact color if the extensions and toned them perfectly!!! Im absolutely in love with my hair and service I was given!!! I definitely recommend her services!!! Thank you Nelly for getting my back right for me!!!

Nicole Starks Nelly is absolutely AMAZING! She really listened to me and also made Great suggestions on color, cuts, and styles for my hair/hair type! Everytime I left, I felt like I left a new person! My hair is so healthy now as well as beautiful! All thanks to Nelly! I also love the relaxing laid back vibe of her shop and the other stylest Miritza also does Phenomenal work! If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Marie Frzr My daughter and I had been trying to find a salon for a while now. We were commuting to and from Chicago just to get our hair done . (We are originally from Chicago) .. I drove pass this salon one day and saw a woman doing hair. I pulled into the parking lot and run in to grab a business card . She was extremely professional and I figured I would give her a try. What the heck right? I scheduled an appointment that week. She did not disappoint . Needless to say , this is our second visit and we will continue coming back. Im happy . My daughter is happy and I no longer need to make the drive to Chicago just for a hair appointment . I highly recommend. Jeanine is wonderful . Professional, friendly, polite and makes you feel comfortable . Pleasant staff and atmosphere .

Del Francis Excellent service & friendly environment. No wait, the stylist have many years of experience and are well trained and skilled in a variety of areas!

ms. Eve Gene Im a picky person. I went in and left out very pleased with my silk press. I hair wouldnt stop moving, like I was Bruce Lee. And I wasnt even fighting!

Laura My first time at this place. Angela did a great job. Found myself a new salon!

Kirsten Kujo Wonderful and attentive service. Really felt heard by my stylist and she was extremely friendly and personable. I absolutely love the end result and am going back in 8 weeks, definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Onalyse Martinez-DANGEL I made an appointment and was very pleased. I was greeted very nice at the door. The lady that did my hair did a very good job . Quick easy and very reasonable/affordable prices . I highly recommend. I will be back soon!

Kylie Pumphrey Hands down the best my hair has ever felt and looked. They slay it Everytime!! I love the education I get about how to properly care for my hair so I can achieve what Im looking for and preserve my color better. Its been a game changer! I leave feeling so beautiful every time and its the best experience Ive ever had at a salon from the time you walk in the door to the time you leave. I have found my forever salon!

Jennifer Wilberg I cant tell you how much Lorleanne has been HUGE support and educator on my curly girl journey! Today we did a root touch up and tone. I am loving the tone of my hair. When it curls the highlights and baby lights give my hair such great dimension! My husband loves me to straighten my hair so we went with a blow out too, which I think is a happy medium! Knocked it out of the park and had a blast while getting pampered!

Hannah Kelley Lorleanne is amazing! Every time I have an appointment, I know it’s going to be an incredible experience. She not only makes me feel beautiful, but makes me feel welcomed and cared for. She goes out of her way to make a genuine connection with you.

Chad Appleby I love this salon! Kayla does fantastic work. My hair hasnt looked this good in years. I wish I would have known about this place sooner. Not only do they do great work, its a classy place and very warm and inviting experience. Loved it.

Breann Kirk I love this place so much. Bri is my go-to girl for anything I suggest to her. Sadie is also my favorite collie in the world.

Katrina Lisk I was recently there and will never go back! The employees and even the owner are extremely rude and unprofessional. Kortney did my hair and when she was done I couldnt even tell a difference. She knew I was unhappy and her comment to me was "I hope you like it, if not thats to bad i dont have time to fix it" WOW! After that I tried to get in to have her fix it. Its been a month and a half later and she still hasnt done anything about it. Even Kayla the owner didnt help. That place is a joke and I will never refer anyone there!! Not to mention how much hair she ripped out in the process of doing my hair.

Katie Torres My son got his first hair cut with Devin , she was so kind & patient! Even got down on the ground with him to accommodated him ! Such an amazing experience ❤️

Brad Lauman Sandy, the “S” in RAGS, does a great job of welcoming you, listening to what style I want, and then making me look like Brad Pitt :-)

Susan Prosise The Staff here are so nice.. actually "listen" to what you want and any concerns you may have. Fantastic place!

Anna My hair has never looked better. Andy did such a great job and I cannot wait to have Dina highlight my hair. I felt so comfortable there. It is nice!

Betty Gonia Love Dina, a stylist at Rapunzels. She is soft and delicate with her hands when shampooing and styling my hair.

Jake Laskonis The Barber, Andy, was an old next door neighbor of mine. Ive been going to him for years to get my haircut. Hes a friendly, and professional. Just all around great experience.

Mrs.Oriedo o Hello Stracia, I just wanted to thank you for my hair! My husband loves it and says it’s the best hairstyle I got since living in Rockford. I will definitely see you in 2 weeks! Thanks again for your expertise! Best hairstylist in Rockford IL!!!!

Amanda Susan Bragg Stracia was amazing! She installed individual box braids and now I will not go anywhere else. I have been to several braiders in Rockford and she surpassed them all. She aims to please and makes sure that you are satisfied. My braids are smooth, are the perfect length, and are not too tight. My previous braider left the area and her sisters took over her business. They had poor, poor customer service skills and the quality of their work diminished. Stracia is a blessing!

Alanda Smith I went to have crochets done...let’s start at the top, the decor is artsy, the atmosphere is welcoming, spa like, relaxing and tranquil, the hair wash OMG, no words, amazing! Then she blew it out, braided and crocheted me all the while engaging with me in easy, smooth, conversation, she made me feel like I was appreciated! I generally do my own hair, so to give that over to someone else is MAJOR for me! I loved the hair do and the experience. Thank you Stracia, can’t wait for my next appointment. Beautied by One is the total package....don’t sleep on this one y’all.

brigid oleary Maritza has been doing my hair for 7 years and from the first time I saw her she did an awesome job. Maritza always knows what I need and goes above and beyond. She is truly so sweet and is willing to help you. I love getting my hair cut by Maritza bc it feels so soft and looks amazing.

Lia Keoni I absolutely adore Maritza! I’ve becoming to her for about 4 months for her waxing services and each time she does an AMAZING job. I love how meticulous she is pre and post wax. Will forever come to her!

Rosa Jasso The lady that cuts my hair moved out of state and I haven’t cut my hair since. Today, I decided it was time to go to somebody else. I called and she wasn’t at the salon but she said she could be there within 30 min! I decided to wait for her and oh my do I not regret it! Maritza did an amazing job on my bob! I am more than happy with my hair! I will definitely be going back to her!

Jordan Cunningham Robin is phenomenal! Always super helpful in making color decisions, and always does everything she can to make your hair what you dreamed of before you went in! She does my fiancé’s hair as well and neither of us have ever had a bad experience.

Kristi B Robin is amazing! I recently went and had her cut and do a partial highlight on my hair and loved it! Then as a special birthday gift for my daughter I wanted to do a "glam up" so we had her very long, fine hair highlighted. It turned out perfect! Very pleased and would highly recommend.

jessica elliott Robin has been doing my hair for 8 years now and she is nothing short of fantastic. She can do any Pinterest picture I request and always has the best product recommendations to keep my hair looking it’s best.
