I got my hair done for the first time here with Karen yesterday.. I originally wanted my roots bleached, which were over 4 inches long, but Karen suggested a new trend so i went with it. My appointment was at 1 and Karen took her time making sure my hair was gonna look it's best, knowing it was gonna take some time to do.. the salon closed at 4 yet Karen didn't rush through this long process of getting my hair perfect.. she was very sweet & knowledgeable.. I could not believe the end result 😍 my hair has never looked this good and i will never go anywhere else.. the salon is very clean & the staff is very friendly.. i knew the price was gonna be high but it was totally worth it.. Karen spent almost 5 hours working on my hair & I didn't hesitate to give her a $40 tip.. i would highly recommend F & H & the staff here.. thanks again Karen.. you rock

Everyone was friendly and professional. I was treated like a queen! Was referred here by another local salon who did not offer waxing services. My appointment was with Carolyn, who is very, very good. She was concerned with my comfort level throughout, and was thorough and professional. I highly recommend Carolyn and Fox & Hounds!

Went in for info on color/cut pricing although I'd heard from friends that the hairdressers did lousy jobs. My hair is long to my bottom & I couldn't get a straight answer on the price for a single color, no hi-lites. My first impression was that my friends were right, since the 4 staff members I saw at the front desk all had horrible color in their hair that looked like grocery store bought boxed-color.
Finally the girl that was "helping" me said they charged $63 for the "initial color", whatever the hell that meant and I ask. She responded that should they "need to mix more color to finish the job, there would be additional costs." OBVIOUSLY I'd want AND expect them to finish the job! I asked how much extra she was talking about and she hesitated to answer, then finally said "it will be ABOUT $25 EACH TIME they had to mix more color." "ABOUT" $25???? I could see where this was going. I asked her how much color they mix to begin with and she said "1 bottle".
I could see that my friends were right. I wouldn't care if she'd told me the cost for color would be $300 but she refused to give a straight answer. This was a total joke, not to mention scam and ripoff! My hair is so long, it would take a minimum of 4 or 5 bottles to adequately cover my hair and although my regular salon is pricey, their prices are perfect for a high-end professional color, cut or style that's fit for celebrities. For several years I've gone to the same salon in Chicago that does a wonderful job. The girls at my salon regular clients are many wives of Cubs' baseball players and news anchors. The only drawback for me is the drive this week and I wanted my hair done before Saturday but after listening to this garbage at Fox & Hounds, I decided to make the well-worth-it drive to Chicago and get my hair colored by PROFESSIONALS. At least I know that it'll look great and like a professional coloring and not scream "I did this myself at home".
I should've known this was a horrible place, even before I saw the horrible colorings in the 15 minutes I was there. Additionally, the girl at the desk told me that I'd have to go to Instagram to see samples of the colorists work. This didn't surprise me since I'd called them a little over a year before to see if their staff was experienced in bleaching "ethnic" hair - I'm Italian and my hair is very thick and coarse. I was told they were and a girl told me, "Since the hair is hard to bleach, we just have to leave the bleach on longer." When I asked "how long" she said, "About an hour." Yea, umm....ok. You're not frying MY hair! Obviously, they know NOTHING about the proper technique of bleaching ethnic, dark brown or black hair. I wasn't interested in my hair turning into bubblegum so I had my hilites, many of them almost white, done at my salon in Chicago - they do a great job and will NEVER leave bleach on more than 20 minutes. My natural hair color is black.
My advice is to SKIP this place if you want a good, professional color that doesn't scream, "CHEAP, STORE-BOUGHT OR SALLY'S HAIRCOLOR FROM A SMALL-HICK-TOWN SALON". I'm originally from New York City so I'm used to having a high-end professional haircoloring, cut and total look. If you don't really care what you look like and you're "ok" with the cheap-looking hick-town flat hair color or the shoepolish black, like the girl I saw at the counter, then this place is for YOU! If you want to walk around with pride and confidence, knowing you look good, then go somewhere else.
Take this advice from a confident woman who cares about what her hair looks like and who has spent $707.00 on a single Brazilian Blowout in a high-end New York City salon!

I got a sugar waxing for the first time here. It’s the same price as their regular wax. I had a great experience with it!

Great staff. They offer everything in hair and body care. Even shoe shine. Kind of expensive. But you get what you pay for.
