Just went here for eyebrow threading yesterday. (My first time...OUCH!) My cousin-in-law referred…read moreme & she's got great brows & works for MAC...so a great source! It's located off of Lake & Gary Avenue right behind a Thorton's gas station so not the easiest place to find. Anyways, I was pretty anxious to get the threading done since I heard how painful the first time around is, but the the owner really talked me through it. She shaped my eyebrows perfectly and used an antiseptic afterwards. Plus it's only $6 for eyebrow threading or wax, which ever you choose! Great deal!

My friend had tried this place because of a groupon deal, thinking it was a nice time to treat…read moreherself after moving across the country, from California to Chicago. The move was stressful and it was time for a de-stressing, pleasant change. Self Care is important! At the end of the hair treatment, my friend was more stressed leaving than going in. I included stock images of what a proper balayage should look like, and the second photo is the treatment my friend walked out with. As an honest friend, I had to tell my girl that she had gotten 2000's highlights that were cut off before the roots. The benefit of the doubt is that this is the first balayage this stylist has ever attempted. The groupon didn't include a cut, just the balayage, which, okay - that's reasonable. But the stylist did charge more just because my friends hair was slightly thick and wavy, and not a 1 or 2a curl pattern??? The stylist then tried to detangle and straighten (flatten) my friend's hair which isn't the most flattering style for balayage. The stylist also tried to use a de-tangling solution rather than a cream, oil, or leave in conditioner. My friend, bless her soul, still tipped her stylist for the effort. But please, please do research before attempting another balayage.

Such a GREAT experience! I came for Balayage using the Groupon deal and also got a haircut. She was…read moreamazing! I showed her what I wanted and she gave me the perfect color. Also her blowout was so great and fast. The whole process took less than 3 hours which in my opinion is super fast.

Recently went to Manisha for a cut and color with highlights, and I did not enjoy my experience…read more First off, she changed the appointment time on me super close to the actual appointment. I had to move everything around in order to go only to end up with a bad experience. She was not personable from the start and also did not listen to my requests or discuss them with me. She was your stereotypical hairstylist everyone dreads and did what she wanted. I left with brassy highlights and a terrible haircut. I will not be returning nor recommending Ellis Salon to anyone.

I booked my first appointment with Whelan Salon Care, and decided on a big change. I brought a…read morepicture in, and Amanda nailed it. Unfortunately, I freaked out for a minute. Her response to me was that she wanted me to leave happy, and offered suggestions right away. I calmed down, and loved the cut after a few minutes. She was extremely patient with me when I was being ridiculous. Skills behind the chair, AND the ability to diffuse a bomb. XO I went back again, for a reshape/cut. Perfect again. Then, I brought my two little girls. Amanda did fast, patient, and precise cuts on two very busy kids.

I can't say enough about the services Amanda Whelan has provided from color correction (from…read moreanother salons errors), toners, cuts and hair repair services. She is very personable, flexible with services and knows what she is doing! Anytime I have asked for a certain style or color, she gets it right on point! Also, her salon has a very homey feel to it and is located in a great part of Schaumburg that is very convenient for people to get to! I truly recommend her services to anyone looking for great hair care services!

I went here for a haircut once and loved it. Later scheduled an appointment for a root touch up and…read morehad to cancel due to an emergency that came up. The next time I tried to reschedule the owner had an attitude because I cancelled even though I apologized. I called back 3-4 times again wanting to schedule another appointment and they kept saying they're booked. Like really? You have no availability ever no matter how early I book? Lol anyway, the last time I called it kept disconnecting so I called from my friend's number and they miraculously picked up. When I confronted them about why they have me blocked they said it must be a problem with their line and no one blocked me . Ya never referring anyone. The girl who cut my hair was nice but with this snotty, entitled attitude I won't be caught dead going here.

Every time I leave the salon, I walk out feeling fresh and beautiful. I used to be jaded about color and cut due to other salons damaging and botching my hair so badly, but Stephanie completely changed that. Now I walk in and say 'do whatever. I trust you.' And I really do! I have NEVER left upset or let down. Plus it is the healthiest it's ever been. Love this salon. Great group of ladies here! The price is right and they really do know what they are doing. These ladies are honest and to the point over ideas and what will or won't work as well as offering creative alternative or fun suggestions. I love that. Plus I love chatting it up with these girls. So chill and laid back and friendly. Can't wait to come back!

Gentlemen, Patty does an amazing fade.

Patty can line you up and trim your beard as well. Patty takes her time and uses some very nice lotions on your face so that you don't get any kind of burning sensation from the straight razor. Patty is methodical and super clean. You won't be disappointed.

I called this shop because a friend of mine told me updos are $30. The woman on the phone told me…read more30 to $35 and asked me to stop in so she could look at my hair which is short. So I went all the way to the beauty shop to find out that she wants to charge me $70. Why didn't you just tell me the truth on the phone and save me a trip in my gasoline. I do not recommend this place at all. another friend came here for a dye job and her hair turned orange. But I thought how could they mess up an updo. Save yourself some time and go someplace else.
