PizZazz — Local services in Champaign

Pretty solid haircuts and this place has really been a campus institution for the past couple of years. PizZazz to haircuts as Cravings is to Chinese food on campus. Maybe not the best, but it's a local small business that gets the job done. The only reason it's not a 5 star rating is because the haircuts aren't worth the price anymore. I think a couple of years ago the price was $10 then it's creeped up to $17 this semester, which I think draws the line for me. With tips, the haircut is about $20 which is definitely too much for the quality of haircut you're getting. Madlayn is a super nice person and she holds great conversation with just about everyone but the haircuts are maybe only a tad bit better than a chain like Great Clips or something where you could get a basic cut for like $8 with a coupon. If you're looking for a nice fade or a modern hair style, I suggest you go somewhere else but if you're just wanting to support a campus institution/local small business with national chain level basic hair cuts, then this...

This amazing woman took my damaged hair & made it whole again, in every way possible... However, I reside far away from her salon - but, I'd like to make an appointment in the future with Madalyn for her to check out my hair. And, for her to tell me what more needs to be done to my hair by her to create healthier hair & for her to offer her recommendations. We may agree or agree to disagree, yet - she's an amazing professional!!! And, she knows what she's talking about big time!!! Hey Madalyn call me because I'm very confused about when I could come down & you to view my hair & see what you & I can decide to do about my hair which isn't totally damaged. Yet, could use some loving hair coloring perhaps? Call my cell phone. Leave me a message. When I can call you...

Madalyn is a favorite among college students with her convenient location, fair prices and friendliness.

She enjoys getting to know all her clients as she cuts their hair, and has many repeat customers.

She takes walk-ins but beware that if she's busy you may have to sign in on a notebook and come back later. The downside to this is she doesn't let anyone "schedule" appointments, unless you come in and sign-in for later that day.

She lets all of her clients sign the wall with a sharpie after their first haircut, which has created a unique interior.

She has recently raised her price to $14, which is still a great deal compared to the other campus barbers.

TIP: Beware that she often takes a lunch around 1PM and closes down shop for approximately...
