Super cute hair studio. Stopped in at the last possible minute for a quick cut with Laura. She was nothing but friendly and did a great job with the haircut. Very happy and I’ll definitely be back again.

I called to fix my second appointment but due to some emergency, I had to call them an hour early to cancel my appointment. I called them again after two days to see if they can fit me in during the day time but Amy told me they don’t have spot available and hang up the call. I am very upset with the way she handled this situation without even trying to fit me in for next day or may be in next week. I am very disappointed!

Thank you Unilocal for steering me in the right direction! Hotheadz is a great little place hidden on Roselle Road, near Lou Malnati’s, my favorite pizza place. I love the salon, it’s cute and clean, and very inviting. I’ve now had my second haircut with Amy, and I’m just smitten by her work and personality. She truly listened to what I wanted, guided me in what would or would not work, and this time around also gave me amazing color. She is way up to date on the latest trends, and always has amazing ideas. Bonus, I truly just like her as a person, I totally enjoy just getting to chat. She makes great hair product suggestions without pushing anything on you, and recommends how to use products I’ve already purchased. Bottom line, this lady rules and I’m psyched that she’s my hair dresser.

I have been to Hot Headz once, but plan on making this my go to salon. The staff is really laid back and easy to talk to, and Amy did a great job with my hair. The only thing I wish they did differently was provide more suggestions on how to cut my hair, but I understand it was only my first visit and probably didn’t want to scare me away. I asked Amy how to curl my hair(because I’m awful at it) and she gladly did it for me. She’s so nice!!! I will be going back soon and will hopefully get some more good advice from Amy!

I just had my first appointment with Laura, she did a cut and color and I was not disappointed. She listened to what I had to say and gave her professional opinion. Amy was also there as well to give advice. Laura changed my hair from hell back to the normal. I’ve already scheduled my second cut and looking forward to coming back. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone. They are knowledgeable and will tell you what is best.

Once I moved out to Schaumburg, I took a friend’s referral to go see Amy at Hotheadz(it was 6 – 7 years ago). I haven’t been to anyone else since! I love how Amy cuts, colors, and styles my curly hair… When you have curly hair you know it takes a special person to understand how to cut and color it based on if you wear it curly or if you straighten it… She always does such a great job. I always feel confident after I leave, and the compliments I get when I go to work after a fresh cut and color just reinforce how great she always does my hair. :) There has been only one time in years I ever did not like a cut(I went to something dramatic I wasn’t used to) and she brought me right back in for a touch up to make the tweaks I wanted… No questions asked! The ONLY watch out is it is not cheap, you’re not going to great clips… as in you pay for the quality, but trust me it is so worth it. It’s not as expensive as going to some fancy city salon but yet you get the same or better quality and a WAY better/friendlier personal experience.

I went here twice and thought Ashley did a great job with my hair cut. However, the last time I made an appointment I had to reschedule twice due to work getting in the way and she was irritated with me! She said why don’t you just make sure first and then let me know, so in other words I’m not putting you in my schedule. Wow. There’s more than enough hair salons in the area. Moved on.

After reading all of the positive reviews for Amy, I called and made an appointment. I was told Jules had an appointment available for my perm. At first I was disappointed it wasn’t Amy. When I got there Jules was sweet, she listened to me and did a great job with my body wave. When Amy wasn’t busy, she came over and talked and she helped with my hair. They did a great job, were both very nice and easy to talk to. My hair turned out amazing, and I got a ton of compliments the next day. Highly recommended.

It’s been almost four months since I saw Amy, and people are still asking me if I just got my hair cut. It’s super flattering! My hair is ridiculously picky, so I’m so happy that Amy was able to actually make it work. I always go into salons and ask for the same thing: long, choppy layers. The results are never the same. With Amy, they actually came out looking spectacular, and they’ve only gotten better as my hair’s grown out. I wish I could find someone like her out in San Francisco, but so far, nothing’s come close!

If you want a perfect hair style, color, cut, go see Amy at Hotheadz. Hotheadz is a cute little salon located in Schaumburg near the intersection of Roselle and Schaumburg roads. I have been a client of Amy’s for over 15 years and have never been disappointed. I would say I am very«picky» about my hair and Amy always takes time to discuss what I like\dont like and what would work best for me. This goes for my color and my haircut. She is very professional and her expertise shines. Amy makes you feel right at home and comfortable. Its not like going to that crazy salon where you have a million stylist and you don’t know who’s cutting or coloring your hair. You will feel the one on one attention and feel like she really listens to you. She always has the best suggestions, and her experience in the business is a true asset. Amy is the stylist I had been looking for, finally someone I plan on staying with forever. We all know that’s hard to find!

I am very particular about my hair — the cut, color … everything !! I have had some horrible experiences in the past and it’s not easy to find a trusted hair stylist. I have been going to Amy for awhile now — she’s patient, listens to what I want, comes up with great suggestions and I completely trust her. I could not say enough great things about Amy. She’s talented and is very accommodating. I would definitely refer Hotheadz Studio and Amy to anyone, I am never disappointed!

I just recently moved to Hoffman Estates and needed a new hair stylist. Unilocal reviews led me to this salon. I called to schedule an appt and luckily Amy was able to see me right away. My mom is a hair stylist therfore im pretty picky. Amy was great, she listened to what I wanted and cut away! She also waxed my eye brows. I have always waxed my own eye brows so she politely gave me tips ;) It’s always hard finding a new hair stylist in a new city. Amy is extremely personable and would make anyone feel comfortable. I hope my hair looks as good when i do it myself! Thanks Amy

Hotheadz is awesome. I’ve been going to Amy for 12 years; ever since I was in high school. Amy stays in touch with current trends, consults hair styles in accordance to your face shape and hair health. I always leave with the best hair color(whether its purple, red or neutral highlights) and haircut. I ALWAYS get complements after I get a new do from Amy — call her 847−885−0045! You won’t be disappointed!

This place is so cool. I am trying not to be dramatic here. But I got my hair cut here for the first time a couple of weeks back, and I think it was the best haircut of my life. People are complimenting the haircut so much, and with so much enthusiasm, I almost thought the first few people were overexaggerating. But I keep hearing it everywhere. On top of that, it was the best haircut experience I have ever had. He was so friendly and easygoing. I am so happy I found this place! Thanks Unilocal :)

I have been here a few times now, and Ashley has done a wonderful job every time. I really appreciate the time that she takes to make sure that the cut is right! They have been busy each time that I have gone there, but they have always been able to squeeze me in. I was even able to get a great cut and style during a lunch break from work!

I did a lot of research before coming to Hotheadz. They were the best in Unilocal reviews and I’m so glad that I tried them out, instead of a large name brand salon with mixed reviews. I called on a Monday, was scheduled for the next day with Ashley and was able to use a Facebook offer that they had for a free haircut with a color service. My hair was a mess when I walked in with over grown black roots and yellow ends, bumble bee-esque would probably nail it on the head. I walked out with a gorgeous shade of burgundy ombré hair with very light tips at the end. I love it. The blending of the ombré color is fantastic. The cut was equally great as well as Ashley styling my hair with beautiful waves in the back. I have naturally curly hair and she didn’t take too much off. I will definitely be returning. The place is a bit cramped and a little hard to find but don’t let that fool you. The quality of work, customer service and attention to detail is top notch. And check out the picture of my awesome color/cut by Ashley. Btw they have a blog too and seeing pictures of their amazing work sold me.

OK, this place is great! It’s hip, it’s trendy but better yet has some really awesome stylists!!! Now, I’ve only had my hair cut by Gina so this review is really more about her. For those of you who simply want the bottom line, if you need to look your best or simply want to(and who doesn’t right ???), it will be hard to find someone better than Gina. Seriously, she comes with extensive experience from one of the big famous places and when I asked the other stylists there who did their hair, just about everyone if not all of them said Gina. It was on such high recommendations that I originally went to her and have been sold ever since! If you can’t tell I’m a huge fan and highly recommend this place. I especially recommend Gina who specializes in haircuts, updo’s, hair therapy, and extensions but can help with all of your«image» needs whether it be hair, makeup, or even wardrobe! If not Gina herself, she’ll know someone who’s one of the best in the Chicagoland area who can. *** IMPORTANTNOTE ***: Gina does her own bookings so the *best* way to schedule an appointment is not through the main number. Instead, send her an email at to arrange your first visit. For more pictures of Gina’s work, she cut my hair in all of the pics of me in my profile. And if she can make *my* hair look good just imagine what she can do for yours!
