First time here and had a great experience. Jessica cut my hair and I LOVE it!! Highly recommend!

I had my hair colored there (balayaged). The Owner Rhea did my hair. She charged me the full blonde session (balayage) fee plus $50 toner although I only had the partial balayage and it was okay for me. But to my surprise, when I was paying, she charged me another $90 for the extra products which she said 3 bowls of extra dye because my hair is so thick...what? I went to some hair salons & I was never charged for that plus my hair is not that thick! I was so disappointed of her. She charged me $421 (including my $79 deposit) less the root touch up coz I decided not to have it anymore. I felt like I was taken advantage. Will never go back! ***Response to the owner: You didn't discuss about the extra product that is $90! You only told me when I was about to pay. Yes, I decided not to have the root touch up anymore and was hoping I will pay less but I ended up paying more because of your extra charge. The partial custom blonde session you charged me $202 + $79 deposit = $281. I know toner is included in the price. The extra product you clearly said because my hair is so thick. My gray hair were still visible and to the point that I went to the other salon to have it root touched up coz it looks bad...that was my bad coz I decided not to get it but hoping root smudge will help. Anyway, my main complaint is the $90 extra product which you clearly told me was for the "3 bowls" of products which I understood for the extra color. Over all, I was not satisfied of your service. I paid $421 plus 15% tip! And look at my hair Please don't say I was lying here! On my first review, I meant you charged me the full blonde session fee although I will only get the partial blonde and that was fine with me...I never complain about the price. Yes,I was wrong about the "toner"...I meant the root smudge. Partial blonde session: $202 Advance deposit: $79 Root smudge : $50 Extra 3 bowls of product: $90 Total: $421 Tip: $60 ****Final Response to the owner: Again and again, I was not complaining about the partial blonde session fee you charged me. And I know what is the difference between root smudge & root touch up. I was only giving the detail what happened before,during and after the service you gave me. As what I've said, my main complaint was the $90 extra for the 3 bowls of products which you never told me until I was about to pay. Please don't insist that you discussed it to me before you did my hair. I am not a troublemaker & I am not ignorant about the rules in the salons. I went to a lot of salons and never write a review even if sometimes I feel a little bit disappointed of the outcome of the service they made. But I never encountered something like this. $90 is a lot of money for me. I was just shy to complain in your salon because there were some clients waiting. Although when I was paying and asked you what was the $90 for,your reply was for the 3 bowls of extra products, I have no choice but to pay. I left in shocked and feeling sad. I decided to go to you coz you have good reviews plus you are a filipina too. I failed. ****I forgot to say, my hair was not jet black that you need to put extra 3 bowls of product to lighten it (as what you said) to achieve the desired color. My color was previously bleached and light colored already. read more

Rhea and her team are absolutely fabulous! I booked a hair and makeup service this August for my bridal shower and loved it! Rhea brought my makeup to life while ensuring that I still look like myself! My photos from that day are gorgeous thanks to this team. I recently went back for a haircut as my hair was too long, heavy, and lifeless. Rhea understood my vision, made it a reality, and helped me find products to keep my hair healthy. I have never received so many compliments after a haircut! I definitely recommend Ethereal Salon for all your beauty needs! read more

I've been coming to Ethereal for years. Both Jess and Rhea have cut my hair and do a fantastic job. I only get my hair cut and debulked and I've never had a complaint. They make each appointment comfortable and welcoming. read more

I have been searching for a salon where stylists are not only up on the newest hairstyle trends and cutting techniques, but also one that has good reviews, as well as one closer to where I live. That's how I came across Etherheal Beauty Salon. I made my appointment with Rhea, and she took the time to listen to how I wanted my hair cut. After showing her a photo in order to give her a clear idea as to what kind of cut I had in mind, she shared some important recommendations to me regarding that cut. I took her advice and love the results! Rhea was very professional and friendly and I enjoyed my time with her. The salon was very clean and she treated her customers before me with patience and kindness. I will definitely be back to Etherheal Beauty Salon for more haircuts!! Thank you, Rhea! read more

I just drove from Crystal Lake to get a haircut by Rhea and I gotta be honest- I would've driven from downtown Chicago or even from michigan to get a cut done by Rhea again. That was THE best haircut I have ever gotten in my 30 years of living! If you need a hair stylist to trust, you have found them in Rhea! I'm truly blown away and so happy with my hair. read more

Highly recommend! Absolutely love this salon! I went in for my first appointment after doing extensive research on nearby salons because hair is everything! From the experts all the way to the aesthetics of the salon, I would give them a 10/10. Rhea was the hair expert who did my hair - she is a ray of sunshine - she is super kind, personable, understanding, and a complete expert! She gave me a beautiful haircut - the height of my hair is exactly what I wanted, and I have a bit heavy hair and she was able to lighten it up perfectly. I can now style it exactly that way I had envisioned. Thank you so much, Rhea, I really feel like you took the time to understand me and my hair - it was such a great experience! She also provided recommendations for treatments for hair hygiene. I can't wait to go in for color and treatments! Fabulous salon and the only salon I'll be going to!! read more

* Professional, warm, and thoughtful stylist * Chic, cozy and comfortable salon * Exceptional service at reasonable prices * Easy-to-book online appointments! (Book in advance.) Talk about an amazing find! Fellow Yelpers never fail and there is a reason Rhea has 5 stars across the board. The woman is a jewel! I'll be the first to admit that I am a nervous nelly when it comes to my hair given the damage that's happened to it from highlighting. Rhea was confident and comforting when she explained what we were going to do with my hair and what follow-up appointments would entail. There were no surprises and that made me happy and at ease for the remainder of the appointment (and led me to book multiple future appointments!). She's easy to talk to, and if you don't feel like talking she plays some awesome jams and lets you chill. She's by far one of the most thoughtful stylists as well. Her salon is well-designed and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised that she had eye-glass stem protectors for my glasses! I was actually able to read my book while I waited for my highlights to process. During the hair washing process, she had a pillow for my back and a stool for my feet so no part of my body was strained. Even the top salons don't have this kind of service! Also, the lady does a killer blowout! I have curly hair and she straightened it for me. I got so many compliments. I can't wait to have it done again for Thanksgiving weekend when I visit. Yes, I live in NYC and will be coming back to Rhea every time I visit my family in Illinois because that's just how darn sweet and good she is! read more

Etherheal Beauty Salon - Highlights and blowout by Rhea - Makeup Artists Near Me - Palatine , Illinois

I've been getting my hair and makeup done by Rhea for the past 10+ years and trust her 100. I've gone through a variety of big hair changes: ultra long hair, chopped my hair short, gone blonde, gotten multiple styles of bangs.. and have loved the results each and every time. Rhea has also done my makeup for big life events like my wedding and maternity shoot and I have never felt more beautiful. She takes the time to listen to your vision, provides insight, and takes the time to deliver exceptional results. I used to go to her location in Schaumburg as well as when she moved to Deer Park and I continued to follow her when she opened up her salon in Palatine because I don't trust anyone else with my hair. I cannot recommend her and her team enough. As a mom, the beautiful salon is the perfect self-care sanctuary. read more

Good haircut but the first time I made an appointment on line, I showed up and no one was there and the place was closed. I called back later and they said it needs to be verified before it is confirmed. Rather pricey for just a cut. read more

Talya was amazing! As a stylist myself, it's hard to find someone who cuts your hair the way you want. Talya's attention to detail and precision was exactly what I was looking for. Talya makes my fine hair feel a lot fuller and does not make it feel thin. Her blowouts are also beautiful. I will not let anyone else cut my hair. read more

So happy that I finally found someone who knows what I like for my hair. Love all the lady's here! Special Thanks to Dana and Jess for making me beautiful!! Thanks to Fatema for responding my messaged . And rhea for being the coolest boss. Come visit this place and you will not be disappointed read more

beautiful salon, very clean and modern. Rhea did an amazing job with my hair. i almost always get layers and curtain bangs, but they way she styled my hair and cut it, the results are amazing! she was also kind enough to give me advice on my hair and suggested a few products! she's all about self care and i plan to return when the seasons change, thank you Rhea!!!! read more

Rhea truly is such a talented stylist and I always enjoy my appointments. I appreciate her attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Thank you for many years of always treating me and my hair with top notch service! read more

I've been going to Rhea for a while now, after having moved to the area from San Francisco. She has given me some of the best haircuts I have ever had, working extremely well with my fine hair and listening to all of my concerns. We started playing with color, and it was beautiful the first time, but we just keep tweaking to make things even better! I recommend planning a night out after you see her. It's a waste to just go home with her perfect blowouts read more

Rhea is the absolute QUEEN of balayage on dark hair and never disappoints. She's literally the only person I can trust with my hair and have been going there for 8+ years. The Etherheal Beauty team and space is unreal adds to the experience of your "me time" read more

Prior to moving to Vegas, Rhea was the ONLY person I trusted with my hair. (For obvious reasons) not only does she achieve the look you are trying to go for, but she exceeds expectations. She is very informational, truthful, and gives the best advice for aftercare steps to maintain the quality of your hair. She's also very understanding. I've gone to her with box dye hair (yikes!) a few times and she'll give it to me straight up that it will be a process to achieve the blonde that I want! She never once gave a bad attitude and is always uplifting and energetic. Had I not moved, I would still be seeing her. read more

Absolutely fantastic Salon! Hands down the best Salon I've been to in the northwest suburbs. The stylist was extremely kind, patient, welcoming and skilled. She took time to understand my hair and offered suggestions to take care of my hair as well. So happy to have found this place. read more

Very disappointed with this salon ! I waited for my hair appt after having to provide my credit card information before my appt was booked! This was strange to me but I decided to give this salon a try After texting the owner Rhea about her "special" which is supposively 6 foils for highlites for 25.00. This is UNTRUTHFUL ! Apparently this is not the case at all! It is considered an "add on"and not a service my question is why did Rhea deceive me? Why did she book take my credit card for deposit for this service if she was not intending to provide this service or honor her price? Don't do business with this company all she wants is your money and how much she can SQUEEZE out any "extra" money ! Rhea will deceive you on her prices and the haircut was just ok nothing special to write about at all ! It took me a few hours to process what happened because the deceitful ness is not something I experience a lot in life ! Your not transparent with your pricing again another LIE. The Consumer has the right to know about your unethical business practices read more

Rhea has cut my hair a few times and I've loved it every time!! I'm so glad I listened to her reviewers and started going to her last year! Won't be going anywhere else! read more

Had a great experience with Jess. She took the time to understand what I was asking for, and when I wasn't sure, had a number of helpful suggestions for me to consider. I also have a dry patch of hair that she significantly improved with an in-salon conditioning treatment. Two big thumbs up - I'll be back. read more

Hit the Jackpot! Rhea is a gem... so happy I met her. My hair is between growing out natural and the rest is blonde. Rhea helped me being very honest and taking her time to make sure which direction we should go. We decided to be conservative right now and went to work with the silver white outgrowth. Rhea also discussed my cut with me in length. She is quite the artist. My first time there and all turned out fantastic! Thanks again Rhea read more

I've had some bad experiences with hair salons in the past and Rhea is someone I truly trust with my hair! She provides honest feedback with my hair ideas and always exceeds my expectations. Could not recommend her enough! Her new salon is also STUNNING! read more

I had a great experience, Rhea was awesome! I will definitely be going back for all my hair care needs.

Rhea did such an amazing job. I felt like she really listened and took her time hearing my concerns and making sure we were on the same page about cut and color. Great location, although I wish she was closer to me... she's still worth the drive! Very professional and knowledgeable. If you want someone who takes their time and doesn't make you feel like you're just another body in the chair.. then I definitely recommend her! read more

I always trust she's doing what my hair needs to achieve the look that I'm asking for. You truly get what you pay for at her salon.

I had a great experience at Etherheal beauty salon with Jess. She spent the first 20 minutes talking to me about what I wanted for my hair and making sure she knew what I wanted! Throughout the appointment she took time to talk to me about how to take care of my hair and make it healthy again. My cut and color turned out beautiful and I will be going back! read more

Rhea was super sweet and easy to talk to during our 3 hour session. She took her time and was very careful to blend out my previous brassy balayage job from another salon. She did a great job giving me the perfect cut to go with the new color! Another bonus was she uses Oleplex to help minimize damage during bleaching. All around a great experience and would recommend for anyone looking for an exceptional stylist! read more

Y'all... Rhea is the best! The service she provides is more than fantastic in every category. She definitely goes above and beyond. Awesome personality, made me feel at home, adorable and very very knowledgeable. I loved the way she cut and styled my hair. She did a great job at the hair dye also. The first time I got some pesky grays colored, and the next time I got a balayage. The products she uses are top notch, and smell amazing too. Big bonus! I am so glad I found her! Love going to see her! the location is perfect too, near a lot of stores that i frequent. read more

Everything everyone said! All that and more! Rhea is a lovely person who listens and understands what you want. Best of all, she has the ability to make your hair style dreams come true! As a new client, I walked out of her salon happy and with great confidence....oh, and with my next two appointments booked! read more

This salon has 5 stars for a reason! Rhea is all that and a bag of chips, no, more like cookies, the gourmet kind. She's is surprisingly talented. In all my half century of life, never have I found someone this good. Shoot, I used to be a hair model for Jingles back in high school in SF and they weren't this good. I used to pay buckets of money at high end salons where they were all gorgeous and snooty, and they weren't this good. Rhea is the best! She's warm and personable and best of all, she's very honest about expectations, yours and hers. She's certainly not cheap, but it's your hair, you do not want to go cheap! Well, what, yes you do, what am I saying? I'd love to go cheap, but you'll probably regret it. Go see Rhea if you want amazing color and a great cut. I went from red to blonde and LOVE it! I hesitated bringing my 13 year old there because she's 13 for goodness sake and doesn't need a $200 hairstyle! Am I crazy? Yeah, sometimes I am. She just got straight A's all year, and she's def a good kid. She earned it. 2 hours later, she was rocking some awesome color! Best of all, my baby felt so good about herself. Rhea made her feel beautiful! Awe, we love her! Just a warning, she is booked months out so do yourself a favor and don't expect to get in right away. Take the first opening she has and if you need to leave work early, do it! I highly recommend her for any color work, bayalage, ombré, highlighting. She's got some snacks too! read more

Omg!! I love love love my hair color so much!! Rhea has always kept my best interest in mind as well as the overall health of my hair and finds the best way to achieve what I want in the shortest amount of time.

Rhea is the best! She gave me exactly what I wanted and more! I'd been looking for a good hairdresser who can be my "go-to" for years. After searching high and low and putting up with many disappointments, I found Rhea. What makes Rhea a great hairdresser/colorist, besides her skills and expertise, is that she really listens to her customers. She understands the needs and concerns and she makes sure the customer know exactly what she's going to do for them. I usually feel super nervous the first time I have my hair done by someone..but I felt really at ease with Rhea. She communicates and doesn't rush through the whole thing. Very very professional. Plus she has a really good personality! I left the place feeling so happy. My hair looks a dozen times better! and my hubby loves it too :)) Definitely my go-to hair dresser from now on! read more

Holy guacamole and cheese Rhea is amazing! She communicated clearly on her thoughts on the condition of my hair, what could be done and what would the processes she was doing during the appointment. She is so kind, she is super easy to talk to and down to earth. Her skills exceeded my expectations and I'm beyond happy with the color I got. It does help I was realistic with what I wanted and understood what I wanted in the end would take a few more sessions, but even with the first session I saw a drastic change in my journey towards HEALTHY blonde balayage hair. Thank yoy Rhea and I will see you soon! :) If you're wondering should you, seriously you should. read more

Rhea can do everything from a modern balayage, to a gorgeous cut to extensions! Ever since I started going to Rhea for my hair it has been a whiter blonde and healthier than it's been since I started coloring it 10 years ago! In addition to her amazing work which speaks for itself, she's just amazing to work with. Could not be more friendly, accommodating and knowledgable about all things hair and beauty. After going to many stylists from LA to Chicago, I could never look back - I am a client for life!! read more
