Charles Morris Salon

I am not even sure where to begin… Kind of a strange story. I used to go to Chuck (the owner) way back in the day before he had his own salon and he was super AWESOME! I then moved to other places and then came back when I realized he had his own place and I was in the area. I have been going to Jamie at Charles Morris for quite some time now and she is AMAZING! I really just let her do what she wants… and this is coming from someone who used to not let anyone blow dry her hair because «they didn’t know how to do it right» Lol. ya I’m kind of a weirdo when it comes to my hair. Anyway… I literally give her full reign on cut, color and whatever else she wants to do and I always look fantastic and get a ton of compliments! I have gone to many other stylists there as well and I am always VERY well taken care of. God Forbid my Jamie isn’t there… I have many great people to choose from! This is a top notch place, with top notch people, no matter what you are looking for! Call Them!

Reviewing on behalf of my wife.
She LOVED Charles Morris Salon! She had her hair and make up done here for our wedding, as well as all the bridesmaids. Everybody looked amazing! The staff at the salon was top notch! Would recommend Charles Morris Salon to anyone in the area!

Just lost my business of 13 years! I have a busy schedule with a child with special needs and young kids who the receptionist treated like crap when they come in. Be a little understanding. I rely on phone confirmations for everything. They lied and said they called me but I never ever received a call. So they now want me to prepay for services… FU! Emergencies come up all the time. My daughter just got home from having a major surgery. I feel completely disrespected, insulted, and my blood was already brewing after they treated my kids like crap. I will be letting everyone and anyone know my opinion and what happened. I’m just sorry I gave them any dime of mine.

I love Charles Morris Salon, clean, modern, very latest products, friendly staff, considerate staff, easy to make appointments, services are many, nails, color, cuts, waxing… my nail/​hair person is Jesse Lynn and she is awesome, she really cares, really listens and has great ideas too. She does awesome hair color!!!

Love getting my hair & nails done at Charles Morris, Lynn is awesome & all the ladies at the desk are so friendly & helpful!!!

Lynn does an awesome job at doing my nails-​LOVE her. Annie is the best for color and cut. I totally trust her and will continue to go to her. Noah shampooed my hair this last time and he was awesome. I have been a customer for 10 years and can’t imagine trusting my hair/​nails to anyone else.

Great salon! Melissa is a color expert and everyone is so friendly! I have tried all products from Paul Mitchell to Redken and I am so sold on the Foundations products from Charles Morris. Their soy based shampoo is perfect for my 9 year old daughter and their keratin shampoo n conditioner goes far beyond any other keratin shampoo I’ve tried! Feels like a deep conditioning treatment under the dryer every time I shampoo at home! Highly recommend this salon!!!

My stylist is Scotty and I highly recommend her for coloring, cuts and blow outs! I have tried Ashley as well as Lindsey and have been pleasantly surprised by each of them as well. Very professional staff and warm atmosphere.

Went to Laverne for my first wax… what a professional! The entire experience, beginning to end was great! Laverne put me at ease, told me each step of the way what to expect, and I barely knew anything was happening! She was fantastic, and I’ve already made my second appointment with her!

My sister made reservations for her bridal party and the moms at Charles Morris for the morning of her wedding (⁷⁄₂₆). We were greeted with mimosas and muffins and were seated with our stylists pretty close to our appointment times. There were 8 of us getting hair and makeup done. My hair stylist, Ashley, did an amazing job with my massive amounts of hair. I received compliments all might! Jill did my makeup and I wish I could just bring her everywhere with me. All of the other girls looks beautiful. The price for hair, makeup and lashes was totally reasonable. Thanks ladies for a great experience.

I’ve been a client here for 12 years. One word for you. Krissy. She does an awesome job. A perfectionist who knows how to cut hair so it lays right — even 6 weeks later. I’ve tried a few other people if Krissy was booked and I have to say I’m very partial. The front desk staff are very nice and you feel right at home when you come in the door. Highly recommended!

I visited the salon for the first time a couple of weeks ago, after trying out 2 salons in Frankfort that I was not happy with. Moving from Austin has been a challenge to find someone to do my hair and color the way that I’m happy with.
They booked me with Kyle (I asked for a Sr. Stylist) and let me just say, he’s awesome… asked me lots of questions, and is really knowledgeable. My hair looked the best it has looked since I moved here. He’s doing my color this week and I know it will look fabulous.
Give Kyle a call, you will not be disappointed!

Had my nails done with Julia several time– she is good. Went to one of the other nail techs there (forgot her name… But all she talked about was her baby blue mustang). Needless to say HORRIBLE!!! I usually get the no-​chip nail paint and she had bubbles, smudges and smears… I went back 10 minutes after I left and asked her to fix it. She acted as if I had done something wrong. Her attitude was not acceptable and her work even worse. NOT A FAN!!! If you go… schedule with Julia.

I could not be any happier. The hair cut and color I received was exactly what I wanted, Judith did a fantastic job. All of the staff is genuinely nice and the price was good-​I have paid more & I have paid less at other salons and was never as happy as I am with this salon. My hair care needs were addressed and I wasn’t sold products that I don’t need or have time for. Thanks again Charles Morris Salon.

Oh Charles Morris Salon, I have such mixed emotions.
I’ve had Lauren cut my hair for years. She has always given me a quality cut that looks good and is what I asked for. When I got blonde peekaboo highlights, they turned out fantastic. It was exactly what I wanted, and my hair turned out great. When I had her do a reddish brown lowlight/​color, it turned out terrible. It was splotchy in parts, wasn’t the color that I wanted and was pretty much yuck. I ended up going to Sally, buying more dye, and doing it myself. With that said, I would still go back to Lauren for a haircut…
IF she didn’t get so rushed. It is so beyond apparent that the owner/​manager whoever pushes to get hair cuts in/​out conveyor belt style. 20 minutes in and out WITH a style (half assed of course because by the time the cut is done there’s barely any time but to simply blowdry) no matter what kind of a cut you want. IF I wanted a chop shop style hair cut, I wouldn’t be paying the prices that they charge. Now, if they would actually allow the stylists to take their time to do a cut and style right, I would go back. But it doesn’t seem like that’s their goal.
Sadly, though I absolutely loved Lauren as a stylist, I more than likely won’t be going back. I know I can get a better overall experience– and a great cut– at another salon.

I’ve been going to CMS for 5+ years mostly for facials and waxing services. I highly recommend trying out the best esthetician, April, as she has been up keeping my brows, face, and skin for years now and continues to make me look and feel beautiful! She is very knowledgeable in her line of work and products. I have never been disappointed with her services. She takes her time and listens to what you want. I have full confidence in her and hired her to do my makeup/​brows/​eyelashes for my wedding. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and when I look back at pictures I know I chose the right person to help me capture that look I wanted on my wedding day. Annie is also an esthetician at CMS and she does wonderful makeup and brows as well. My bridesmaids were very pleased with their makeup done by Annie as she creates very natural beautiful looks. April and Annie were also involved in my sister in law’s wedding and everyone also was so pleased with their work. So April and Annie come highly recommended!
Now Mandi is amazing in the hair department! She is the go to gal for wedding hair/​up do’s!!! She did amazing work and I loved my wedding hair. She is so patient and calm, just what a bride needs especially on her wedding day! I barely even knew Mandi and she graciously showed up at my reception to make sure my hair looked just as perfect for the rest of the night. How sweet was that!!! Talk about service and pride in her work!
You would be crazy not to try a facial or eyebrow wax here. Salon is clean and great ambiance.

I’m a guy who’s been going to CMS for about 4+ years. My wife started going there before me and recommended to me since she was always happy with their service, colors and cuts. My wife had been going to one of her friend’s for color and I never really liked it. She tried out Charles Morris (stylist — Brook) and I thought she looked great. I asked my wife to keep going to see Brook since I thought her hair looked so good.
I started by going to Brook and she did a great guys cut too. Brook had to leave for paternity leave, so she recommended I see Kadri. Kadri was great too and seemed every bit as good as Brook. Kadri then had to go out on paternity about a year later (something must have been in the water), so I had heard that Kyle was really good too. I had never went to a guy for a hair cut before, but my thought was that he was recommended and since he’s a guy, should know how to cut a guys hair. My thoughts where dead on and Kyle does great work too.
UPDATE: I needed a hair cut and Brook, Kyle and Kadri were not available (I called last minute), so they asked if I would go to another woman and I agreed since I have had such good stylists in the past. Well, not so much this time. I don’t remember her name, but it wasn’t up to par with the others that I’ve been too.
Since then I’ve also learned that Brook and Kyle no longer work there. Kadri does, as of this date (2−11−15) and she’s great. I doubt I’ll go back though since two of the three people I like are no longer there and its expensive to get sub-​par work. Not sure why Brook and Kyle left but they were the reason I went to this place. Time to start looking elsewhere, I guess.

I’ve been here several times and tried 2 stylists as well as the make-​up artist. I’ve had my hair styled for several occasions and also had a cut, color and blow-​dry here. The salon is clean and for the most part the staff is friendly. I would say the prices are average.
Unfortunately, the service is average as well. The two girls who cut, colored and styled my hair on several visits are very friendly but I don’t go to a salon to make friends. I go to a salon to get an excellent dye job, cut and style.
The shampoo-​ing takes too long (about 7 minutes). When I went in to get a cut and color, I was in the salon for 3 hours! That is absolutely ridiculous. I also felt like one of the stylists in particular wasn’t very comfortable with the blow-​dryer. My hair is fairly easy to work with and I just didn’t understand that. Isn’t blowdrying one of the basics of hair styling? I have mid-​length hair and the
The make-​up artist only greets you if you have an appointment with her. She is also the one who does facials and massages. She seems to have a big ego and thinks she is a GOD at doing make-​up. Hey, if you are amazing at your job, by all means gloat away! However, if you are mediocre then it’s best to stay modest IMO. The makeup cost $ 55 which seemed several bucks too steep for what I received.
Overall, if you are looking for a place just to get a trim or get a relaxing shampoo job then come here.
If you are looking for a rad cut and style, explore other options.

I like to look on Craigslist in their beauty section to see what type of listings are on there. Hey, I’m a college student and LOVE a bargain, as well as looking good. I cam across an ad for 75% off hair color and decided to respond to it.
I came across Katherine, who’s interning at Charles Morris. I ended up going to my first appointment with her in July 2010 and have been back a few times since. She’s very knowledgeable, friendly, and does an excellent job on my hair. Usually I get more than one color service done and it cost me like $ 30 yet my hair always looks its best after leaving here.
The salon is nice, always busy, and everyone else that’s a staff member seems very friendly as well.

I’ve been coming here since the salon has opened. I now live 80 miles away and still make the drive to New Lenox for my hair service. The salon is clean and modern. They have an amazing staff. Everyone is friendly. You get you hair shampooed and your stylist will do exactly as you ask. I’ve had cut, color and eye brow wax. All services were done with exceptional quality. I will never allow any else to touch my hair. Mandi is my stylist and I recommend her to everyone!
