Fuad’s Creative Hair Design

I needed a good haircut, but my trusted hairstylist moved to Chicago. It is so hard to find a good stylist in Champaign, but I had to find a new stylist who would listen and hopefully give me a great cut. I chose to try Fuad’s and I had my hair cut by Michael Steen in late Feb 2014. My hair is thick, wavy, was past shoulder length, damaged from sun, wind and coloring. I really wanted a lot of the damage cut off without going too short because I don’t like short hair. I greatly dislike layers and told Michael I wanted a one-​length bob cut at just below my chin, maybe just off the shoulders and that it be slightly longer in the front so that it’s not boxy looking.
He gave a wonderful cut, but my only complaint (and the reason for the 4 instead of 5 star rating) is because he went way too short. It was angled to a bit longer in the front as I asked, but the back was so short I could not feel any hair on my neck which was weird for me. I had a good 7 – 8 inches cut off just like that. It is now July and my hair is finally at the length I originally requested (just below my chin).
Regardless, I would still recommend Michael because he gave me a very good cut that is growing out nicely. It looked good and had lots of bounce. He also styled it very nicely and he is a super nice person. Overall excellent stylist.

This is a great place if you want a nice haircut in a decent environment. The stylists know what they are doing, and they will give you good advice, they are not just doing whatever to make money. I decided to get my hair permed last time, but Meghan told me the curls wouldn’t last over a week because my hair is so long. I’m very thankful for the money and time she saved for me. Definitely will go again.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, once you go see Danielle, you’ll stop wasting your time with anyone else. I used to get my eyebrows waxed at BJ’s and every no and then at some little nail place. I regret ever trusting anyone to touch my skin and my waxing needs.
If you read the other reviews, you’ll see a common pattern with Danielle. Aside from being one of the most genuine people I know, her work is meticulous and she makes sure you understand the entire process. I’ve learned so much about my skin from my appointments.
TRUST ME! She’s the change you need in your skin care and waxing needs. :)

I’m shocked this place hasn’t been reviewed yet– it’s been around for a while! I went a few times a year over the last four years and always left happy (except the first time when I walked home in the rain with my new blowout…) The salon is small, cute, and everyone is really friendly.
The prices are VERY reasonable– full foil highlights for my long hair was about $ 80. Yup, $ 80. Since I’m used to Chicago prices, I usually alternate full and partial to save money, but I think every time I scheduled a partial they went ahead and did a full for the same price.
Megan does good cuts and GREAT highlights. She did my highlights last time though and I was absolutely thrilled with how they turned out. I never had an appointment with Fuad, but the other stylists were good.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for someone looking for a new salon in Champaign. Right by campus too!
