People need to know this…read more.. When I first sat in Misha's chair and she asked me what I would like, I am the kind of person who has a hard time describing what that even is. I'm more of a visual person who holds an 'I'll know it when I see it' sort of vibe and someone who isn't very knowledgeable about hair color, hair terminology lingo in how to express what they want. So let me tell you when I say.. Misha makes life a heck of a lot easier for you in that department. One real life example: She went out of her way to check in with me after my appointment to see how I was feeling and if I liked the color. When I realized I had misdirected and misspoken about what I wanted, she, without hesitation, invited me back in to tweak it so it matched my vision. She is really devoted detail-oriented and has such a creative eye. Especially when (no offense to others but) I feel like other hair-stylists can sometimes become defensive if a client wants adjustments, or needs to re-clarify. Whereas Misha never made me feel ashamed or like I couldn't speak up. Even when I misspoke or wasn't sure how to explain what I wanted, she stayed present with me and patient, where I felt like I was treated with care and compassion, not a client to be judged or rushed (especially in today's world) --her customer care is something you cannot teach, and is a lost art. She has that rare mix of technical skill and basic human decency that makes you feel safe asking for exactly what you want. --She ended up knowing exactly how to adjust my color even when I didn't have the right words to describe it. And on top of that... she's just so comfortable to be REAL with. The banter back and forth makes you feel like you're working with the skill set of a high-end runway salon expertise, but in the presence of someone with such warmth that you're being taken care of by a close friend with a homey nurturing atmosphere vibe. I live over 20 miles away, which is not close by, by any means, but she is someone I would go out of my way to see because she's THAT good --in a heartbeat. Guarantee you hair won't be the only thing walking out of that salon feeling like it received the top TLC treatment but your heart will as well. Bonus++ if you happen to meet her dog, Willow, while you're there, that's an extra salon pick me up that will make you wanting to come back again. Highly recommend Misha to anyone looking for a new hairstylist who knows what she's doing and also brings that safe, trusted, home-away-from-home, forever-stylist atmosphere. 10/10, Misha is your girl!

Once they even did me tandem for a chemical straightening, and the results were terrific. Ruelle is now our meeting place - a tiny, indie salon owned by Sh & Sh. We've done a lot of hair styles together, and the prices aren't insane. They don't mind that I'm constantly calling them by the other's name. And I'd still like to recommend them both. Happy, satisfied hair.

I met Shelli, my stylist, at Poe.m Art House next door; I had been thinking of switching from the…read moreplace I was going to in Joliet because it's so far now that I am in Naperville. Shelli described a bit what she would consider doing with my hair and gave me her number. It was low-pressure enough that I contacted her the next time I needed a hair cut. I have always been a reluctant style subject. Since my mom subjected me to cuts by beauty school fiends as a kid, I have always been afraid of change, but Shelli and I had a nice discussion about what I could deal with (i.e. not 50 products and flatirons; I can't even dry my hair without bonking myself in the head repeatedly) and what I was looking for. She talked me up to something a little different but that was similar enough that I wouldn't go into shock. She also gave me good tips on how to style/dry it, since I am all thumbs at that (though on the first attempt I did a pretty good job at recreating her results, so that's saying something for her technique!) Maybe next we will move up to color, a new step for me! The salon itself is small with an explosion of graffiti-looking murals on the walls. Not what you might expect in Downers Grove, but it's cool that they are adding a splash of urban flair to this 'burb.

So, recently I opted to do an at home color myself and was incredibly unhappy with it so I called on Alia Rose to the rescue! I have heard of this salon over the years as I have a couple friends that go here. This is probably one of the prettiest and most well appointed salons I have ever been to. The staff, and I mean the entire staff from the front desk to the colorist and the shampoo girl, were beyond sweet. I had a great experience with Kailey, my colorist. She heard my plight and did an epic job at fixing my mess. I was in the chair for about three hours. A great experience here - I'm very happy with my hair color and I feel like I made a friend. FYI, this place seems to also be popular with young men as much of the clientele on the afternoon I was there were teenage boys and young men. They all seemed happy when the left. This place must be trending in locker room talk lol!

It was my first time at Alia, and the energy was electric as I walked in. The host greeted me…read moreprofessionally (even though they were obviously having a computer meltdown) and introduced me to Isabela, my stylist. My hair is thick, wavy, curly, and has colics'. I explained what I didn't want, and Isabella worked with me to determine what I needed. As Isabella styled my hair, she described her technique. Kudos, girl. It was nice to see the stylist stations uncluttered with supplies. The establishment was impeccably clean and organized. So, I called ahead and made a same-day appointment. I lost track of time, was 30 minutes late, and still received professional service. I will return on time for my next haircut and possibly a color: today's haircut, eyebrow wax, and tip cost about 100$. Great job, Alia.

It came out to $240 total plus tip, which is cheap compared to where I live now but on the higher end for the area. The facilities are very clean and modern!

It's so subtle but I can see the color peaking out under the sunlight. By mixing 3 colors, she literally made mini highlights on my hair! I called to schedule my appointment, and I'm so glad I did! During my session there, I noticed she's extremely busy at the store.
