Hair Salons in Aurora

Featured in countless publications, including Time Out Chicago, Vogue, Lucky, Allure, and InStyle, Maxine salon holds its stylists and colorists to the highest standard of excellence. The salon’s follicular technicians spend one to two years training as in-house apprentices to minimize mis-snips and running-with-scissors-related work injuries. Choosing from Maxine’s many haircutting and color services, guests can opt to lop their locks with a haircut ($50+) or disguise themselves before or after a busy week of bank robbery with a single-process color treatment ($70+). The warm staff helps salon-goers feel welcome, and an interior heavy on stainless steel, cracked glass, and occasional splashes of bold color helps establish the luxuriant atmosphere required for the act of letting one’s hair down.
