Kind words from our guests

"There were tears in my eyes, because I've never felt so heard and I walked away feeling beautiful!

I have NEVER felt compelled to write a review before. Yesterday was my first experience at the lounge, and it exceeded all of my expectations. The stylists were amazing, knew what I wanted, after some incoherent mumblings of my ideas being described to them, and fully delivered beyond my wildest dreams. There were tears in my eyes when I left, because I've never felt so heard and seen at a salon before and I walked away feeling beautiful. Thank you B/BAUER!!
"I have never walked out of a salon as happy as I did yesterday"

Brooke & Ashley are two AMAZING and TALENTED women! I have never walked out of a salon as happy as I did yesterday. I have been wanting to go more blonde for quite a while now, and it has left me with a very brassy color . My hair is stubborn when it comes to bleach, but when Emma turned that chair around and I seen my hair, I wanted to cry with JOY!! The whole atmosphere of B/BAUER is so welcoming , fun and also very relaxing at the same time . I can see that Brooke has put a lot of hard work in her salon . The best looking salon I have been to by far ! Before starting on my hair, Emma and Brooke asked question about my hair , my goal , and hair routine to make sure they used the right mixture on my hair. They educated me on my hair and really explained how Kevin Murphy's product work. I have OFFICIALLY found my new salon , and I will most definitely be back for my touch up . If you are looking for a fun , but also relaxing salon, with VERY talented women, go here! You won't be disappointed!
"I’ve seen multiple stylists there and each one has exceeded my expectations"

What an amazing salon!!! I’ve seen multiple stylists there and each one has exceeded my expectations and gave me an amazing service. The vibes are in point, the aesthetic is perfect, and the location is great too! The owner Brooke is amazing, she's so friendly, talented & genuinely loves and appreciates her guests. Amazing salon!
"Such a friendly, caring, expert staff!"

B/BAUER Hair Lounge is what I have been searching for my whole life. My hair is healthier; color is fresh (bye bye orangey undertones and drab. I have highlights and dimension); style is amazing!!!! I enjoy my visits too. Such a friendly, caring, expert staff. Location is perfect too. Close to Park Ridge with lots of parking just steps from the salon.
