Restoration Salon

I truly look forward to my scheduled appointments at Restoration Salon. When entering this posh, welcoming salon you are immediately taken care of. I truly enjoy my experience each time.

I adore my hair stylist Niccii. I can always trust her recommendations and have yet to be let down.

I am also impressed with the continuing education classes that the stylists participates in.

If you are looking for a salon this is a must!

• Pros: Cutting Edge, Customer Service, Posh Environment

Great Salon~ See Dave!

by bbrooks at Citysearch

I've been going to Dave Fonseca for over 3 years and don't trust anyone else with my hair. He knows exactly what to do with my hair, what colors work and what don't, based on my mood and what's happening in my life- the hair reflects it! I've always felt gorgeous after a few hours in his chair. The salon is chic but unpretentious and the owner Tim Weber has a very friendly staff. I'd recommend anyone that isn't sure what they want, but is willing to trust a genius, to go see Dave!

• Pros: Dave is a genius with cuts and color!
• Cons: schedule in advance because he fills up!

Well Worth the Drive in From The 'Burbs

by CPBPHD at Citysearch

I started going to Restoration as a graduate student, then as a newlywed, new mom, and now a suburban housewife (ack!). The truth is that I tried a couple of salons in the Western suburbs and after a couple of months came back to my senses and realized that the drive in to see Tim Weber is well worth the hassle of commuting. Tim is the ONLY stylist that can cut my straight, thick hair to perfection. I enjoy his enthusiasm for his work and his attention to detail. I would recommend his salon(s)--and have--to anyone west of the City looking for a stylist who reliably cuts hair, to your specifications as well as with contemporary finesse.

-Cathleen O' Hare, working professional who still makes time to get my haircut by Tim :-)

Best Hair Salon in Chicago

by sharrison1 at Citysearch

The best salon in town! I always knew that my hair stylist Charles May was good and that was why i went to him for the past 8 years. But just recently, I decided that he is great. He is incredibly talented-like Edward Scissorhands, easy going, reasonable, very professional, listens to what you want and is absolutley the best hair stylist anywhere. I realized this after having lived in New York for the past 4 years. In New York, i tried every upscale salon and paid up to $300 for very average haircuts, blow-outs and hair color. Now, i am back in Chicago and Charles colored and highlighted my hair yesterday. I have gotten so many compliments in just 24 hours. My hair looks so natural and i love it. If you are new in town or looking for a change definitely contact Charles May.....he is great!

• Pros: Ambiance

Incredible Service!

by RayJay1 at Citysearch

Tim Weber and his team know how to have fun, provide great service, and offer a full complement of hair treatments at affordable prices.

While waiting for your appointment, you will be offered a glass of wine and/or light snacks.

Clients drive from all over the Chicagoland area and his newest location in Andersonville is a respite away from any hectic day.

I come to either location from Oak Park because it is worth the drive for the experience. I urge you to try Restoration Salon!

Im so happy to have found a great colorist and hairdresser after 2 years of searching!

by lucyd123 at Citysearch

After moving from the UK and having a great hairdresser that I was super happy with, I first went to another hairdresser in Lakeview for the first 1.5 years and came out with a variety of haircuts which were not really that flattering looking back at past photos - but looked nice when I was there but I could never recreate once home.

On the lookout for a new hairdresser, my colleague whose new hairstyle I complimented told me about Dave Fonseca. The first time I went to get my hair cut, I came out with a great new cut that I was so happy with and was really flattering. Even better was that I was able to recreate it at home to look virtually the same. I cant tell you what a difference it makes to find someone who has great cutting technique, will recommend what styles work for your hair and does a great color that looks natural and compliments your type of hair and the sort of person you are. He is great to chat to and I cant recommend him highly enough. Restoration Salon is lovely and the staff are always fun and friendly.

I've recommended him to a few friends who have started becoming regulars too.

• Pros: Evening appointments. Great atmosphere in the salon and it is a couple of streets from the Brown Line Armitage stop
• Cons: No parking issues as I walk there!

Best Color/Cut Ever!

by Melissa1635 at Citysearch

DAVE FONSECA is one of the best colorist I have ever seen. He does a phenomenal job at finding what is the best look for you, and makes it look very natural. His cuts are great, and he is a pleasure to be around. I would recommend anyone going to see him, as you will not be disappointed. Restoration Salon has a great ambience...everyone is extremely nice, and the prices are reasonable. Go see Dave...you will not be sorry!

• Pros: Convenient for public transportation, Good rates, Perfect Ambience, Nice staff, Great service
• Cons: Street parking is not easy, but possible

Best Salon and best stylist-Lisa Raich

by ems7386 at Citysearch

I LOVE restoration salon. I have been going there ever since I got my hair colored by LISA RAICH. She is an amazing colorist and is very knowledgeable. She always makes my hair look great and is also very entertaining-which is a major plus. Even if you don't color your hair, I reccommend booking an appointment with Lisa. She's wonderful.
