Krista Bradford Salon in McHenry, IL

Absolutely horrible experience here. Would not recommend. Constantly late. Very rude constantly. Rescheduled constantly. Has such a bad, sassy, unprofessional attitude. Will definitely regret going here.

I feel so lucky to have such a talented stylist in our area. Krista is an absolute perfectionist at what she does and she is always staying on top of learning all the new techniques that come along. I can't imagine a better place to get your hair done within hours of any direction. She is THE BEST! In addition to doing amazing hair she's a sweet heart on top of it. If you're not having her do your hair, you're missing out! Xoxo

Had an appointment with Krista today and left her salon absolutely in love. I have been constantly stylist hopping for the last 15 years because no one could ever give me what I wanted. How hard is it to get a quality cut and color ? Apparently most high end salons in McHenry County can't! I've wasted hundreds of dollars every six weeks updating highlights/trims etc and it was such a drag. I stumbled across Krista's website after looking once again for a stylist. She has a super cute salon and it's very comfortable! She was friendly, sweet and approachable right of the bat. She educated me more on my hair and hair in general than anyone I've ever gone to. I was blown away with her asking about my hair history as no one has ever even asked! We looked at the photos I brought and discussed what was achievable. She was honest and accommodating. We decided on balayage . The past few balayage appointments I've had were just a terrible ombré job - and cost 300+! no thanks chazios, Mario's etc.. those places were so quick to foil me up and barely lift my dark hair to orange In the 1 hour block they schedule for a cut and color (stupid). Krista tested my hair to see what she was working with. I've NEVR had a stylist determine how my hair was going to lift and to see the actual condition of my hair and what it could handle. That immediately sold me on Krista. She highly recommended a Malibu treatment to revive my hair (and IT IS A GAME CHANGER) did opalex (I've asked so many stylists to do it and they had no idea what it was). Oh btw KRista doesn't nickel and dime you like other salons for it (aka chazios). She gave me the best hair cut of my life . I got exactly what I asked for. She took her time and was precise. Most stylists whip out the straighter because they can't blow dry my thick coarse hair straight. Krista did phenomenal ... so phenomenal that I got 3 compliments grocery shopping after . I am so pleased with her skills and I highly recommend. Don't skip on this one ladies (or gents). She's worth every penny I promise.

I have been getting hair extensions done by Krista for a couple years now and she does a great job. She is a perfectionist when it comes to hair extensions and she is really knowledgeable. I know my mom has gotten her hair done there and she loves her cut and color. 5 stars all the way. I would never let anyone else do my extensions but her!

First time here, just moved from San Diego back to the Midwest and needed a new salon that was very good with blonde color- I have always had trouble with it turning gold and/or very damaged. The boutique is cute and cozy-love the feel of a smaller boutique. I had Stephanie and she took her time and was amazing-super nice, sweet and very knowledgeable about color. I had the olaplex treatment and she got me to an icy, platinum blonde with no gold and my hair feels so much better now. Although it is a drive for me, it is totally worth it and I will be back every 6-8 weeks! Both Krista and my stylist were great!! Not at all pushy to buy their products like many salons are. Highly recommended!
