Gordon Salon In Highland Park

Went for the 1^st time last week. Everyone there was great and the salon is very nice.
Had a cut by Hannah and I LOVE it!
Also, you get a hand massage while you’re getting your hair dried. So nice!

Took my 5 yr daughter there today bc her hair is a disaster. I wanted it washed before it was cut since it was filthy and she is not good with strangers or haircuts. Called last minute and got an appt w eren.
When we walked in she was screaming bc she didn’t want her hair cut and no one batted an eye. Eren handled her like a pro and she even let her blow dry her hair. My daughters haircut is perfect and I’m now going to book my other two children there.

I really did find the best hair salon ever. BEST EVER. The best service, from the front desk (the reception staff are really smart and responsive) to the stylists and colorists (thank you Daniel!) Gordon’s owners clearly know what they’re doing to hire and train such professional and talented people. Thank you for making my experience at the salon so positive and my hair really beautiful.

Today I saw Daniel for the first time. As a hairstylist of 7 years, I can say he is a special and extremely talented man! He is so educated and confident in his skill sets and it almost seemed to come as second nature to him. Don’t get me wrong, he put a lot of attention into my color and what I was asking for. However, when he figured out what I wanted to see, his execution was no challenge. He is AMAZING, and I would go as far as to say he is the best colorist Ive ever met! GO SEE DANIEL!

great salon
terrific and comfortable space
Amy gave me exactly the color I’ve been looking for…
wonderful hand massage
this is the best salon on the north shore

I love to go back to Gordon salon. Staff is extremely friendly and my experience was positive, artists are creative when given a chance. Aveda products are the best! And the head and hand massage are a nice treat! Chad is great, I keep going back as long as the prices are kept within reasons.

I usually take care of my own eyebrows – but it was SO NICE to start the shaping process with someone professional! Wonderful experience.

Amy’s cut was great and follows the natural waves in my hair so it’s easy to manage

This salon was FABULOUS. I needed to find a new salon to go to. The receptionist was very informative and friendly, while giving me a tour of the salon. The woman that did my hair was excellent. It is always frightening to have a new hair stylist work their magic, but she proved otherwise. THis salon is great for women, men, and children! I definitely recommend. The products are amazing and smell amazing too.

Pricey and often difficult to schedule, the stylists are the best in the North Shore.

Always a great experience, a salon that consistently delivers exceptional service. A very talented group of stylists. Love my new cut by Tony, who is at the top of his profession.

I was literally just walking by the salon and decided to get my hair cut. It turned out to be the best impulse decision I’ve made in a long time. Chad was the stylist who cut my hair and he did an amazing job! He listened to what I wanted (no clue!) And took time to get acquainted with me and my hair. Cost of cut was very reasonable at this Aveda salon. Received tons of compliments on my cut! I’ll be back, even if it is a little out of my way.

Gordon Salon is part of the Aveda family. They sell their products and to my joy, they offer the proprietary Aveda herbal blend tea. I am normally a coffee lover, but I can drink this tea all day, every day.
Upon arrival, you are sometimes offered a black robe to change into. Another wonderful thing they do occasionally is to massage your hands while your color is developing. I enjoy it when they do these extra touches, but the inconsistency of their approach causes me to change the rating from 5 to 4 stars.
Aveda is one of the brands with convenient tier system. Stylists are grouped into 3 categories, based upon their experience, and their prices then reflect their level: Emerging Artist, Professional Stylists and Master Stylists.
I have tried one emerging artist and one professional stylist. Both were nice and did ok job, however, there was not the special connection that would keep me coming back to the specific stylists.
I found the atmosphere to be comfortable and friendly.

Everyone at the salon is vey professional. I’m very happy with Michelle, got the color I wanted right away, I’m definitely going back.

This place is incredibly snobby and not helpful. I came in here for the first time with 30 minutes before they closed and the stylist was packing up her things. I wanted to get a bottle of shampoo and have a bang trim and she said, «I’m on my way out, we are closing but I guess I can ring you up.» Attitude. If you say you’re open until a certain time, you should really be open until that time. As a new customer, I was shocked by how rudely she passed me off because she wanted to leave. Wouldn’t take me in for a bang trim even though 30 minutes is plenty of time.
The second time I came in here I didn’t have a drastically different experience. I had a coupon in my inbox from Aveda, which told me to go to a «participating salon.» The salon in my area was Gordon Salon and I would give it another shot. I went in to this salon to use the coupon. I showed the coupon to the cashier, who was actually quite nice, and she didn’t know if they could honor it. She asked 4 other people at the salon and no one had any idea. Even though this salon was on the location finder of the app as a participating location they still wouldn’t honor the coupon. I was going to buy something else while I was there. I pulled out my credit card and they didn’t accept 2 of the major credit card companies. Then finally I pulled out a visa and they accepted it. Pen didn’t work. Said that they would call another person to see if they could accept my coupon. I didn’t want to wait anymore. The cashier the second time was very nice, but based on the way the salon is run she was unable to actually help or give a definitive answer to a question.
The overall vibe, very snobby. Very high end. You’d think that with a small business they would be more helpful or more accommodating. No thank you.

I always have a positive experience at this salon. It’s clean and organized. The people who work there have all been pleasant to deal with. I keep going back because of the non-​toxic products used in the salon and the service.

Wonderful experience. All employees are very professional, and my daughter got a beautiful haircut from Jenny! I would recommend to anyone!

This was my first trip to Gordon and I am happy to say I will be coming back. I honestly don’t know how I haven’t tried this place sooner. It is very clean, all the staff was very friendly, and the prices are very reasonable compared to what other salons in the area charge.
I saw Peyton for a half highlight and cut. She was friendly and easy to talk to. My highlights came out amazing! The color is exactly what I wanted and they look so natural — no chunky sections. She was also able to «fix» a problem area from a previous cut and gave me the perfect length I wanted. I usually don’t have much time to do my hair, so many people I have seen seem to think that more of a plain, one length style is best, but Peyton was able to add in layers and my hair looks much better and like it has more volume even on days like today when I only had time to dry it.

I absolutely love the team at this salon. Koral Lorenson was a dream. I came to her practically hyperventilating after a previously booked hair dresser tested my updo for my wedding (which was mere days away) and failed.
I love my hairdresser for regular trips but when you need something special, you need something special. Koral was my Bridal Updo Specialist and alongside my makeup artist, made me feel so beautiful! She took charge of the situation, knew how to work with my fine, straight hair, and was just a dream throughout the whole process.
I recommend her work and the work of Gordon! Huge fan.

I feel like a fool for not thinking of Gordon’s sooner for my daughters’ haircut. Never again will I be a victim of cuteness over actual talent. Yes, I’ve been guilty of going to those places that charge you an arm and a leg simply because they distract your child with a movie while sitting in a firetruck as they get a haircut.
Then by some epiphany, I thought of Gordon’s. Although Allison is considered an «emerging artist,» she is every bit as a professional in our book. Her gentle yet very skilled touch put my girls at ease and I was quite impressed by how well she understood how I described what we needed in terms of the girls’ haircut. She was friendly without being overly bubbly. After all, my girls may be small but are not little trolls to be entertained.
My girls have this fantasy of being the next Rapunzel so I was a little nervous about their haircut but both of them loved it and were so happy to show their new styles to family and friends. We will definitely be back. Great job, Allison!
