My braider was Ella and she was very attentive, professional and made sure that I was satisfied with the style.

Odette is the best! She made my first lash perm a comfortable experience!…read more I attended a family wedding 2 months ago and wanted to do something different aside from doing fake lash extensions. I've done the fake lash extensions for years now and they just don't do it for me anymore. I also don't want to look like Mr. Snuffleupagus when I'm trying to look cute. If I do get falsies I'm lucky if they last a week. I've also done magnetic lashes too but those don't stay on well resulting in the corners being undone. I wanted my lashes to look as natural as possible with some curl to it. My lashes naturally lie flat and even with mascara, they don't appear to stand out. Lash perms can give your own lashes the extra curl needed. Most of all the perms last for at least a month! Odette was sweet, calm and patient with me given this was my first time doing this. She explained the process and checked in with me often since the perm solution they put on can cause mild stinging. I felt that but it didn't cause serious discomfort. In the days ahead, my eyes did crust up but what I was left with were a beautiful set of lashes that were of my own, just a bit enhanced to give you that va-va-va voom oomph to your look. If paired with eyelash primer and a coat of mascara, they stand out guaranteeing you won't get that Snuffleupagus aesthetic. I would definitely recommend lash perms for a special occasion/vacation. My session lasted an hour allowing for relaxation. In fact, I took a 20-minute nap while on the table! Parking is a breeze with Posh Beauty situated in a large strip mall with adequate free parking. Get your lash on and look fabulous!

Someone commented a very similar experience to the one I had for a blowout! But mine was $120!! And…read moreI don't even have extensions. It was an uncomfortable experience. No music playing...similar personal questions from Odette like the other commenter said. And some rude questions too! The blowout was not good. My hair felt like it had a weird sticky chemical in it. I couldn't wait to wash it. Total waste of time and money.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars - Ursula, Katherine and Hair Fusion Bar are just absolutely…read moreamazing!! I had chemotherapy 2 years ago and have been trying to grow my hair back since then. I finally decided - why wait years to have the hair I really want?? I went in for a free consultation and learned all about the different type of extensions and what would work best for my hair. I scheduled an appointment with Katherine for about 2 weeks later - she helped me pick out exactly the colors I would need to achieve the look I was going for. Pricing is discussed up front and there were no surprises at the end. I feel absolutely amazing, and because of the INSANE deals they offer to their extension clients on blowouts - I'll be back next week to have my fabulous hair styled. While I was getting my extensions done, I watched the owner do highlights on another client - I have never thought about getting extensions for highlights instead of bleaching/damaging your own hair - I can't believe more people don't do this. Brilliant!

After losing my hair to chemo, I was looking for a solution other than a wig. I found Hair Fusion…read moreBar and went in for a consult with Ursula who said she could do my whole head. A few weeks later I spent the whole day with her as she TRANSFORMED my hair and me! My extensions look just like my real hair. She was meticulous in mixing hair colors and ensuring all areas of my head were covered. In addition to doing an amazing job, she's also a really kind person. Couldn't be happier!

I have been going here for almost 3 years now and cannot recommend it enough. Ina is the absolute…read morebest. She always goes above and beyond and is one of the sweetest people ever. My hair has gotten so much healthier since seeing her, and I always walk out of my appointments incredibly happy with the results. I have very curly hair that I dye blonde, so I am always nervous about getting my hair done at a new place, but have had the most positive experience since moving to Chicago and going here. If you live in the area, I would highly recommend giving it a try

Bait-and-Switch Pricing: $190+ Advertised, $680+ Quoted In-Person…read more I had an extremely disappointing experience at Gold Coast Salon that I believe constitutes deceptive business practices. What I Booked: I'm new to Chicago and found Gold Coast Salon through Google, where they're listed as a "relaxed salon" with quality work. Their website clearly advertised full babylights starting at $190+. I booked an appointment with Ashlee on 5/15 and paid a $95 deposit. She immediately requested photos of my current hair and my desired results, which I provided (see attached photos). What Happened: I arrived early to my appointment on 5/29. After examining my hair, Ashlee quoted me $680-$700 for the service without blow dry or cut. This was over 3.5 times the advertised price. I understood the "$190+" meant the price could vary, but in what world does a jump to $700 make sense? That's not a reasonable variation, it's egregious and deceptive. I came prepared for the price to be higher than the base rate, but this kind of markup is completely unreasonable for babylights on already blonde, shoulder-length fine hair. When I expressed that my budget was $300-$400, she offered to "see what she could make work." She returned with a scaled-down option: face-framing highlights and a few babylights for around $390. During this back-and-forth, she claimed the high price was due to this being a "full color correction." Look at my photos. I'm already blonde. This is clearly not a color correction situation. When I pushed back on the pricing, Ashlee condescendingly told me that this cost might not be in my "beauty budget" but it is in a lot of her other clients' budgets. This comment was not only rude and dismissive, but completely missed the point: this isn't about affordability, it's about being misled by advertised pricing. The Unacceptable Resolution: Realizing I couldn't trust her judgment or spend hours in this uncomfortable situation, I requested to simply use my $95 deposit toward a trim and leave. She refused, insisting I could only receive the service I originally booked or be charged the full amount. I left without services and with my deposit held hostage. The Issue: This is textbook bait-and-switch advertising. Advertising services at $190+ and then quoting nearly $700 in person with no transparency about pricing factors beforehand is deceptive and potentially illegal. Their own booking policy states deposits "will be applied towards your services," yet they refused to honor this for an alternative service despite their egregious pricing discrepancy. I am pursuing this matter through my credit card company and appropriate consumer protection channels. Do not book here if you value transparent pricing and honest business practices.

Wow, just look at our client! We created a very bright blonde and installed extra long hair extensions for this look.
