HoneyCuts

The place is clean, staff is friendly and they have all of the products and equipment you’d expect. Great place

Oh well, this place turns out to be no different than any other place that is only interested in getting you in and out to turn over the chair as fast as possible. Today I had an awful experience. In Lisa’s absence I had been going to Maggie to get my cut. As I said in my first review, I’m no easy cut. However, Maggie seemed to get it and each time I went she’d give me a cut and I was fine. Today she was there with another employee and each was sitting talking as no customers were present. I signed in as usual and with nobody else on this list, and Maggie knowing how to cut my particular style I moved toward her chair. But wait, out of nowhere Maggie says «I’m not cutting it, she is» (referring to the other employee). I’m like what!!! I say to myself «but you know how to cut my style, this employee doesn’t know me». Why are you telling me to go to her? Needless to say I had to explain all over again how I want my cut. Can you guess if this employee did it right? Yep, screwed up! Why didn’t Maggie just give me the cut. I thought after 7 months of going there I wouldn’t be treated like that.
Not going back, ever! I need to find a barber that learns my cut and then continues the cut each time I come and who doesn’t pawn me off to someone less experienced. Don’t we all want that?

Finally a place to go where the women cutting your hair actually seem trained and not in a huge hurry to rush to the next customer. I have been going there since it opened after being sick of doing the round robin of horrible cuts at Sports Clips, Great Clips, etc etc. There has been some turnover and a stylist or two may not have been as good as the others, but it is always better than the local competition.
They also do a great job on my son’s hair. He is extremely picky about his hair cuts and they always take their time and check often to see if they are going too short. He is always happy when he leaves. He usually ran out of Sport Clips wishing he never went in after a cut because he didn’t fit the mold of «what number do you want… buzz buzz, ok leave now».
Also, while it does cost more, the shampoo and relaxing head massage are included. If you «opt in» for that at Sports Clips, you get jammed in the back with some electric massager out of a 1950’s female coming of age movie. No thanks.
You can’t go wrong with visiting HoneyCuts in Willowbrook.

I have been here about 5 times in the past, and had either Abbey, or Amanda. Never had any issues. Today I stopped in, and both were busy so I opted for the new girl… (Leighann) From the start it was awful. Her station was gross with hairs all over from previous customers. She dusted her clippers off in front of me with the dust flying out right in front of me. I asked if she would mind sanitizing them before using them… She made me feel like I was an idiot for asking. The entire time I was forced to hold my breath due to the smell of menthol cigarettes permeating from her hands, and breath. I declined the offer of a shampoo after being cut. I find out after paying that the cost is the same as if I had gotten the «extra» shampoo. What an incredibly nauseating experience it was to sit through one of the longest haircuts of my life. As I type this review at work 2 hours later I can still smell the disgusting menthol on my sweatshirt. I am totally disgusted, and will not be returning to this location…

I needed a haircut BAD! Usually I’ll go to the Des Plaines Lady Jane’s where Amanda does a great job of cutting my hair. But I was way down in Willowbrook with time to kill. I checked Unilocal to see if there were other similar style hair cutting places in the area. Reading the reviews I came across someone mentioning HoneyCuts. I was only about 2 miles away.
As soon as I came walking in Maggie came walking out of the back, greeted me and I sat down. She told me about the standard services, but I opted for a quick hair cut (no shampoo or scalp massage). The way she handled the scissors and razor I could tell this girl knew her stuff. I’ve received countless haircuts from expensive stylists and once at a chop shop called Great Clips (what a misnomer). Maggie gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. I’d go out of my way to get another hair cut from her.

I have been to this location for my last three haircuts and I have now become a lifer. The store is well cleaned and the staff are friendly and courteous. Maggie is the best, she has been the only one there that has cut my hair and she does an amazing job, I ask for her by name. The store has never been that crowded when I have come in on Saturdays, I think the longest wait time I’ve ever had there was like 15 minutes. You can’t go wrong with this place, sports clips and the others don’t stack up to this HoneyCuts.
