Emily cut my hair recently and I was very pleased with the cut and the service. I had one of those…read morebad hair days and scheduled an appointment that same afternoon. I came a few minutes early and was seen right away, with no wait. I asked Emily what she thought I should do with my hair and she said she really liked my current cut and suggested a trim, taking off a half-inch. I was pleased with her honest judgement: I had gotten a cut in Montreal a few months back and was very happy with the cut except it was overgrown. She trimmed it quickly yet skillfully, blow dried my coarse wavy hair into a flattering style and then trimmed and textured the ends so the cut lays well. Best of all, my hair looks great even when I don't heat-style it. Dried naturally, the waves are nicely layered and just seem to fall into place--a sign of a good cut. I've tried a lot of places in Elmhurst, but this is the first place where I've gotten a great cut at a reasonable price ($35 with first-time customer discount, not incl. tip). This isn't a cutting-edge, hyped up salon--it's a comfortable, relaxed place, mostly patronized by middle-aged moms like me (as far as I could tell from my weekday afternoon visit). No frills, easy-going, no blasting music, no product-pushing. Just a great cut and great service. I'll be back! Disclosure: I will receive a $20 discount (or 20%, I can't remember) for this review, but I'd give Emily and the salon five stars anyway!

I'm a very punctual person so when you tell me I can stop by at 2:00pm for a haircut, I will be…read morethere at 1:55pm. Arriving at 1:55pm, I was greeted and seated. 2:30pm rolls around I'm still waiting when it hit 2:50pm I asked Carlos how much longer and he said about 5 minutes (which was 10 minutes) and I was fuming by the time I got to the hairstylist seat. He kindly explained to me that because I called in for same day appointment I would naturally have to wait, which I wish he would of told me beforehand and I would of made an appointment a different day, whatever, after 10 minutes or so I cooled off. I've been going to Carlos for about 2 years now and loved every cut he gave me besides this most recent one. He took off about 2-3 inches and cut my front a little shorter than I would like and my hair looks really "choppy." With fine, straight hair the choppiness is noticeable. After about a week my hair grew a tiny bit and helped with this weirdness, but I'm kind of disappointed since I had asked Carlos about a pair of scissors he was using and he said it was to thin out people's hair/reduce the choppiness look, unfortunately for me he didn't use it enough, but overall I still like my cut, simple and layered. I won't let my haircut stray me from this place especially since it's only $15 for a women's haircut! And the whole scheduling thing I'm sure can be fix or I'll just make sure to go on a weekday. Carlos is friendly and can make conversation with anyone. I would recommend him! His schedule is M, T, F, and Sat.

I've been natural for 7 years, only get my hair straighten once a year for trims. I went to her in January and my hair hasn't reverted back ever since.

Jean and my sister convinced me to put in extension for while so that my hair could relax and grow back. When I took the extension out, my hair was long and finally back being healthy.

I'm not a person that lets everyone touch my hair, nor can just anyone touch my daughters hair. Highly recommend Jean! She literally has growing hands.
