“I searched and searched Chicago for a fabulous stylist and finally found Courtney several years ago. Courtney has many years of experience and it makes a huge difference. In a word, she is a godsend, and I trust her implicitly. She is an expert with color and always exceeds my expectations. Even though at this point in our relationship, I just sit down and let her do her thing, she still explains everything she wants to do so I know exactly what to expect. She is fantastic and makes me the red head I should’ve been! ;) Courtney is a creative, talented, and quality stylist. You won’t be disappointed. Trust me!”

“Courtney somehow makes magic happen with my hair. Without her, I would be a mess. Every time I leave, I feel like a new person. If she ever moves, I will seriously cry. I first met Courtney at Red7 Salon about five years ago, and she quickly became my favorite hair colorist / stylist. She listens to me and provides honest recommendations about what I should do and what works best for my face and my hair. I have the thickest hair, and she’s been able to really help me manage it better. I’ve become a loyalist of hers and I am so proud that she opened up her own salon!!”

“I was lucky to find Stephanie almost 10 years ago and have never had a better stylist. I’m terrible at describing hair styles and she can take my vague descriptions and make them into an amazing cut every time. When I wanted to start coloring my hair again, she then introduced me to Courtney and she and I embarked on a rainbow journey of fabulous colors. Courtney has an eye for not only color but the right shape of the application of the color. Stephanie and Courtney as a team have allowed me to have the best hair I have ever had for years now.

When I met my now husband, I told him that Stephanie would be a huge asset to his hair as well. Over the years of Stephanie cutting his hair he has found the courage to try hairstyles that he never would have in the past because he knows that the cuts will always be phenomenal.

Can’t say enough good things about these two incredibly talented ladies and I just feel very lucky to have them to keep my hair beautiful!”

“Courtney is a phenomenal stylist and human being! I’ve been lucky to be her client for over ten years and my hair has never looked better. In this time, we’ve cycled through a range of colors, somehow managing to never do the exact same thing twice, as well as all the lengths, from super long to chin-length. The constant is that I always get compliments and I am always thrilled.

One of Courtney’s many talents is her ability to get to the heart of what her clients want. I can’t count the number of times I’ve plopped down in her chair with a vague notion for my hair (e.g., “edgy for a corporate lawyer”), which she skillfully turns into reality. I appreciate her knowledge of what will work for my thick, naturally curly hair and her clear, detailed explanations of what she’s doing and why.

On a personal note, Courtney is kind, funny, and a pleasure to be around—she’s the kind of person that makes three hours in her chair fly by. She truly cares about her clients and wants to make sure they are happy with their look. In fact, the whole team at Studio Noir is amazing. Courtney also does my husband’s hair, making sure that we look as stylish today as we did when we got married. ”
