Shear Excellence Salon

I can’t say enough how much I love my visits with Jen! She always does such an amazing job on my hair and I leave feeling 1000% better every single time! I included just 2 pictures out of the several masterpieces Jen has created with my mop of hair ;). Shear Excellence is also a beautiful salon and all the stylists are so friendly and welcoming!

Arielle did amazing work on my hair. I am the type of person that don’t care about their hair and won’t do it because I don’t have the patience and I didn’t have enough to get it don’t regularly but when I first went to her she changed my life and made me see my self in a different more beautiful light because of my hair because of her!! She is so talented to just be starting 💯 she’s has great customer service so nice and warm 💕 so funny and silly which I loved she shows her real self and still be professional I love the environment as a whole great people great vibes 💕 the prices are reasonable and the treatment is worth any up charges 😩 I would spend a fortune if I could and when I can I will 🥺💯

Shae at Shear Excellence in Rantoul, Illinois is absolutely amazing! I have had extensions, color, and cuts done by her, and every time I leave her salon feeling like a million bucks. Shae's expertise and attention to detail are unmatched. She truly listens to her clients' desires and delivers exceptional results. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend Shae for anyone looking for top-notch hair services. Thank you, Shae, for your incredible skills and making me feel fabulous every time!

This was truly an amazing experience! All the ladies were friendly and welcoming, and I love their aesthetic. Shae replaced my braids with two-strand twists. Not only was she patient, but she also took the time to explain what she was doing alone every step in the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and genuinely an amazing stylist!

I had huge buyers remorse after coloring recently and Jen's team went absolutely above and beyond to repair it for me. If you are a new-comer to hair color, they will take you step by step. Just let them know ahead of time.

I’ve been going to Haley for a few years now and look forward to my next appointment every time! She does great washes, cuts, and color. She introduced me to an amazing shampoo and conditioner that’s a must have for women with natural curly hair. I love that she’s available on Sundays so it’s never a problem scheduling my appointments. I would HIGHLY recommend Haley if you are looking for a fun, caring professional hairstylist!

I’ve been going to Jen over a year for my hair needs and I can’t say enough! She’s the absolute best! She just gets my vision for my color and cut and nails it every time! She is also one the sweetest people I know. She’s always so welcoming and some salons/ stylists can be daunting but Jen is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend!

Shae does my hair and she absolutely kills it every time! Not only does she give me exactly what I ask for, she gives amazing suggestions for whatever hair type you have in terms of product and style, and she always has a smile on her face! Getting my hair done with Shae is always the most enjoyable experience - she cares so much about her clients and has the most infectious incredible energy! I cannot recommend her enough🩷

I started seeing Jen Foster nearly 7 years ago at Sheer Excellence after a horrible experience at a different salon. NO body else has touched my hair since I sat in her chair for the first time. It’ll stay that way as long as she’s willing! I love her demeanor, her smile and the passion she has for her clients. I always leave satisfied with my service and with a full heart! ❤

just started getting my hair done regularly, and going here is a must. the salon is very clean and well kept and all of the staff are sweet. there's never any judgment and they're happy to help with whatever you want to do. I always go to Carol she's my favorite, no matter what crazy color I see on Instagram, she's ready to tackle the challenge and make my hair look amazing! keep up the wonderful work ladies!

I love having Arielle do my hair!! Anytime I leave her chair I’m never disappointed. My highlights still look amazing, and I love the deep conditions we do to keep my hair looking healthy! If you ever need your hair done, Arielle is definitely the girl to go to🫶🏽

Brittany Balk is the best. I had to switch hair stylists after 10+ years with my previous stylist. Brittany was referred to me by a friend. She made me feel relaxed and listened to what I was thinking about doing and made recommendations. I would 1000% recommend Brittany to anyone. She is awesome and has her finger on the pulse of current trends and what her clients would or would not look good with. #hairbybrittb

Jen Foster and the Shear Excellence team are amazing! Jen's talents are out of this world with color, cut, health. My hair is in the best condition thanks to her knowledge and skill-set! The Salon itself has something for everyone...great service(s) and products that work miracles!

I've been going to the salon for almost 6 months. My hair has been well treated and cared for by Shae. She knows black hair care and treating natural curls with the time and skill they deserve. After a decade of living in the area I finally have a stylist who can trim my ends after a silk press and nurture my healthy natural hair when in-between protective styles!

Jen always does a great job with my hair. She listens to me as to what I want for my hair. She also offers some great ideas. She is knowledgeable about the products/ procedures she does. She’s so fun to visit with while she does my hair. She is also a great teacher/mentor with her colleagues.

I had my first wax serviced at Shear Excellence by Hanna and I really enjoyed how nice and professional the staff are! The environment is very clean, loved the music that was playing, and how friendly everyone is! The staff ensures that you get the service and satisfaction you want! I will definitely be returning!!!

Just treated myself for my upcoming birthday 🎉 This place is truly the best! The owner and all the peeps she hires are BEAUTIFUL inside and out! She is always leveling up in all she does in her business and she encourages, teaches & shines ✨ her light 💡 bright for the next👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I moved to Monticello but I still bring and encourage others to bring their business here♥🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks Grace!💖

Hayley always does a great job and she always listens to exactly what I want. When I have questions, she answers them without hesitation. She does not try to push you to buy any products, but is always willing to recommend products if you ask. Overall, Hayley does a wonderful job and I am so glad I get to sit in her chair!

Shear is always my favorite place to be! I've been a client for everything from facials, eyelash extensions, hair color and cut and I couldn't be happier! Hayley is my girl for my hair and always will be! She is the best, always makes my hair fierce and beautiful, and is so kind and fun <3

I just LOVE Shear Excellence!! My professional is Hannah McMullen, who makes me feel like a Queen everytime I go to get services, not only is the expertise of Hannah always on point, Hannah also gives me honest evaluation on the condition of my hair, what products i should use, how often I need cuts and color, but never any pressure to buy, or do a service!! May I also say, everyone that I have encountered that provides a service at Shear X, is polite, smiling, making all guests feel welcome and appreciated!! Try Shear Excellence, you will not be disappointed!!
