New to the area and tried Daybreak Salon and Spa. Nicole was my hair stylist. She did a fabulous job! I had some hair extensions that were put in by a previous hair stylist. We talked about making some changes in the future. My hair color turned out great and my cut is terrific. Highly recommend! read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. Jessie was the sweetest person and after she left this place went downhill. Imelda is a terrible owner and will (hopefully) run this joke of a business into the ground. Lorena is completely inexperienced especially with waxing. She completely burned my mother's face and when she came home her face was swollen, burnt, and covered in scabs. She had to go in the emergency room, went to her doctor, got prescribed medication and she's in pain several days later. Imelda is incredibly rude and disrespectful. When confronted, she didn't even apologize or anything. She tried to brush the whole situation under the rug and claimed that Lorena knew what she's doing after seeing my mother's burnt face and seeing her in pain. She has no empathy and you should not let her near your hair or face either. Absolutely disgusting. Every time I've gone there to get my hair colored they've always made a mistake and never gave me what I wanted, even after showing them pictures. Last time I went there and asked for blue, and they literally put brown dye on my hair. Overall, this place is a waste of your time, and filled with inexperienced, disrespectful, and irresponsible people. read more

Do not go to this place!!!Burned my face with wax and had to go to emergency and now there is permanent scar! Stay away!!!When complained to the owner they are not even sorry . Save yourself! read more

Great place for hair color, cut and repair with great Aveda product. Meghan does a great job with my color and cut. All the stylists are really good at what they do and they have worked there for years. It's a small salon and they don't rush you out the door. Everyone seems to work together when needed. I would also be pretty comfortable going to the other stylists if mine wasn't available and that says a lot. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great service! Fast and friendly staff that ensure a comfortable setting to relax while being pampered.

Went here for the first time. Jacinta gave me the best haircut I've had in a very long time! Very clean salon and courteous front desk. Also great product selection!! I will be back for sure!! read more

I popped in with a friend while waiting for a pizza next door and the owner, Jesse greeted us. She wanted to show us the new extenions that just clip into the crown of your head. She was willing to show me how easy it is to use. When I asked her the price, twice, she ignored me and went into heavy sales mode, Finally, she says $370, which I think she totally made up (I had some nice jewelry on), This was just a topper piece, not a lot of hair! Beware, think she is a con! read more

I've been a Daybreak client for years, and see Meghan for cut and color. I appreciate that she offers ideas for changes in style and highlights as the seasons change. I always feel renewed when I leave Meghan's chair. She has the most easy-going personality on the planet, and I love chatting w her. Daybreak also sells a great variety of Aveda, OPI, and Keratase products. If you are shopping for self-care products or gifts, this is the best place in Lake Zurich to find them! read more

I got my hair cut and had high/lowlights put in, and am very happy with the results. Jessie (owner) did my hair, and I would definitely highly recommend her, and I'm one of the most picky persons there is when it comes to having my hair cut. Have been thru several stylists over the years. Jessie was just great. read more

Sad. Supposedly an Aveda salon but after my third visit, it just doesn't have the feel. The colors, the ambiance, etc. Not enough chairs for color. I was seated waiting for my colorist to come out and another employee asked me to move to chairs across from the coloring area. My colorist was coming by the time I stood up but so as not to make a scene (I wasn't sure if I was in that colorist's designated chair; which it wasn't). So I was placed in an area in which it was difficult for my colorist to set up. Someone (I think it was the owner) offered her a rolling tray to put the color on but the setup was awkward. So of course the worst happened, a splash on my pants. I hope my colorist moves again so I can follow. Meanwhile, I might go back to one of the other Aveda salons. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON. A while back I went in for a spray tan and it was the absolute worst - full on Ross from Friends spray tan. Tanned palms, streaky, patches of skin totally missed, darker on one side than the other. When I went back in to see if they could fix it the esthetican accused me of dying my own hair the night before and that is why my hands were stained. I do NOT dye my own hair. When I told her she was wrong for trying to blame me when SHE did the awful job she threw the cash I gave her as a tip the day before in my face. The owners did nothing to reprimand her. The only reason I stepped foot back in the salon was because they carry kerastase products and have a buy 9 get 10 free. Today when I went in for my 9th and 10th product the owner tried to make me pay for the more expensive product. I told her I would just buy the cheaper one as my 9th and come back in 10 minutes to get the other one free and she said that is what I would have to do. The owners and the staff at this salon are completely ridiculous and I will never step foot in there again. I suggest you follow suit. read more

I went in for a 430 appointment and sat there til 445 waiting to be seen. All I was getting done was a wash and flat iron. The woman asked if I wanted it stick straight or some curl. I said stick straight and smooth. I walked out with frizzy hair that had random kinks in it. I don't think I would go back but if I did I would try a different person. I now have to restraighten my hair after paying money to have it done. read more

Daybreak Salon offered a 50% off promotion of their facials, so I thought I would treat myself and have one, which ended up being one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I met with Tatyana at the front desk, where she took me back to the spa, which was lit by candle light and had soft, soothing music playing. She gave me a soft wrap to put on and asked me to take off all my jewelry. When she re-entered the room, she explained what she was going to do and truthfully the next 60 minutes where total luxury From the scents of her product, the lessons she taught me and the massage, I was in heaven. Today is two days since my facial. My skin is still glowing and I did not get the break outs that I sometimes get from facials. I can not wait to get my next facial with Tatyana and I would highly recommend that you go and see for yourself. read more

Love this salon in Lake Zurich. I get my cut and color from Mo. She is the best. I get so many complements on my cut and color. Plus they use such good products. Avesta and my personal favorite Kerastase. The salon also does mani pedi facials and more. read more

The main reason I'm giving a good review is because I love my hair stylist. She recently relocated to Daybreak, which is the reason I go there. Many of the stylists from the now-closed Ritual Salon are now at Daybreak. I can understand some of the negative reviews. The ambiance and environment of the salon is very plain. It could use some updating. However, being that getting a good haircut is important to me, I would recommend this salon. read more

I had my hIr colored here. They "burnt" my hair. I won't be returning. I previously gave it high marks. But the lack of care exhibited by my hair dresser forced me to look for a new salon. read more

I have been to many salons in time and I will say from the minute I walked into this salon I was welcomed with the most professional attitudes, and it was the best expierence I have had in a long time. I used to do hair for a living, and a lot of salons have very rude people that only care about making a sale, the ladies at Daybreak care about how you feel and look. Not to mention the place is so clean on the inside, plus there aren't a lot of salons that carry Aveda this one does, I was also introduced to a new product line called Kerastase, all I can say is HEAVEN!! I don't want to drag on here you all get the point it was a great salon, I highly recommend to check it out, I will make sure all my friends know about DayBreak;) read more

0 STARS!!!! If you like having your hair dyed by people who are color blind, then this is the perfect place for you! They do not correct their mistakes, but blame you for having hair on your head instead. You have been warned. read more

I have visited this salon last week for a facial with Tatijana. This salon recently opened in March 2013. It claims to be an Aveda salon, it actually replaced an Aveda Salon that was located in the same location for many years. I selected a premium facial, thinking all Aveda products would be used for the facial. Not one Aveda product was used on me. Some unknown name with an unpleasant smell was used instead. The facial was mediocre, at best. The salon smelled of paint when I walked in and was still in construction. No coffee, water, or tea was offered when I arrived. Actually, the esthetician growled at the front desk person when I walked in stating that she couldn't take me in since the room wasn't set up yet. What a way to make me feel welcome! And a bad first impression! I sat and waited for a while, felt like I was imposing on her time. No music was playing in the salon. When the facial begin, no soft, spa music was playing in the background as well. I could hear the esthetician breathing hard and her stomach gurgling instead! Extractions were not done well, neck and facial massage were not at all professional or relaxing, and the worst part was, during the mask application, the esthetician started coughing all over me, did not evenly apply the mask thoroughly (I know she missed my nose and right cheek entirely), left the room abruptly for over 30 minutes and came back with no apology! After the facial, she tried to sell me a product that she did not even use on me during the facial. How do you even know how my skin would react?? Of course I didn't buy it! When the owner asked me how I liked the facial, I said "okay" and gave her a knowing look, but she just turned away and went about her business. Mind you, the salon was EMPTY!! I predict this salon won't last long. Please use this as a warning, at least for a facial, I did not, nor will not, try any other services here. There are plenty of other very good salons in the Lake Zurich and surrounding area. And "real" Aveda" salons! Don't be fooled! STAY AWAY!!! read more
