Kim did my blowdry and style for me this morning. I showed her a photo of what I had in mind and she did it perfectly. The shampoo and neck and shoulder massage was relaxing and I forget how relaxing that part is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kim was friendly and made my hair look so soft and healthy after I left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Desperate to have my bob shaped up a bit I decided to try Focus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was a walk-in and Alex was able to squeeze me in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was a bit hesitant since she's a new stylist, but she did an amazing job.

I have been going to this Focas to see Skyler for my regular cut for several years and I always look forward to it. I love the shoulder massage that comes with the initial hair wash, and Skyler's willingness to help me explore tweaks and changes to my style. She has never steered me wrong and my hair is healthier and easy to style as a result. (Compliments from friends don't hurt, either.) The staff is always welcoming and accommodating. read more

Had Lo (Lauren) as my colorist at Focas Salon St. Charles, and will never go back. I've always tipped 20% so I knew that couldn't have been the issue here. In any case, she booked my next appointment on a Sunday. When that Sunday came around, I pulled up at the salon and it was closed - they're not even open on Sunday's. So I knew this was deliberate. I called and left an incredibly frustrated voicemail and NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK TO APOLOGIZE. I also shared this with my mom who also saw Lo and she also stopped going after that too. That's two customers you lost. And for what? Took our business elsewhere and we couldn't be happier . I guess thanks! read more

Gina is my go to girl! I go to Focas because of her. Whether it is a simple blow dry or a hair cut or a updo, or fancy hair style. She is all rounder and can give you a very satisfying look like a picture that you show her. I have been going to this salon since 7 yrs now. Strongly recommend this Salon for budget friendly, cleanliness, hygiene, and friendly staff. read more

Very good salon. Fair prices. Great service. Owner is always present and very conscientious about her business. Personally, I love the long-time stylist, Emily. Just the nicest and most proficient you could ask for - doesn't talk too much unless you want to -:). Does a great job with color and cut. Truly a good person, and a good salon. read more

I had the very best haircut I've ever had today with Emily. She listened, looked at the photo I brought and did exactly what I wanted. She's so warm and sweet and she truly listens. I can't recommend Emily enough!! What a great appointment with her!! read more

Gina was wonderful. I've been on the lookout for a new stylist for a while and she met all of my expectations. Patient, listened to what I wanted, followed through with the style, and I walked out with a smile! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Genevieve is the best! I bought the Groupon for the conditioning mask, cut and style. When I arrived I was greeted by the receptionist and Genevieve they did my temperature scan/hand sanitizer and then she proceeded with the tour and explained their natural/sustainable product line. She asked about my , style/color routine and what I felt was needed. She used a clarifying shampoo to address concerns about my hard water, an energizing shampoo to stimulate growth (another tidbit I mentioned when discussing the ‍), the scalp massage ‍was amazing! I felt so relaxed and the product smelled of calming essential oils and the scalp mask were all what I needed. The cut and style . My color was so rejuvenated I pushed it back another month (different salon)... I booked again for 3 months from now and can't wait to go back! Thank you Genevieve!!! read more

Awful, awful, weird experience. Took forever to get color and cut, and was $$$$. When I got home and really inspected my hair one side was nearly an inch longer than the other side. I called and asked for it to be fixed...they wouldn't do it because the person who had cut my hair left for the 4th of July weekend. I asked if someone else could fix it, but they would charge me. I didn't want wait 5 days so I went somewhere else and got a great cut. read more

Well I normally, never leave bad reviews or a review in general only if it's worth it, this salon is filthy and gross, charged me $75 dollars for a color that was horrible, my hair dresser was like yeah it's getting light it's gonna be like your roots ( quick story dyed my hair red with L'Oreal highlift magenta hair color, got hot roots... anyways she ensured me I will get my root color, then kept mentioning to me after I didn't like the color it looked the same and my roots looked black bottom looked a washed out Burgundy , she kept mentioning we will bleach your hair...... seriously my hair isn't in no condition for that especially after her burning my hair... worst salon never ever again... read more

This was my first time in Focas Salon and I'll likely be returning! The staff were very friendly and they helped me with sending off my collected hair donation for Kids With Cancer ---- I didn't have to do a thing but chop-chop. Ms. Genevieve was my stylist and did a great job!! She would be 5 for sure! The only reason it's a little less than that is the overall cost. For a cut & baleiage color, it was roughly $260 + tip (because she was awesome, I'd definitely tip!) read more

Focus is one of the best hair salons in the tri cities area. Myself and members of my family, friends I have had through the years, so many individuals I know personally keep coming back to this salon. If you need to budget, go with one of the newer stylists, and the cut and style and the communication will be of high quality, as well as the long time master stylists. IIf something would not be to your liking, communicate your concern, and they will listen and happily fix it, free of charge. My teen daughter just had a cut here, and she loves her new style. Every person who works here is friendly and helpful. You really cannot go wrong! read more

I've been there twice and both times my appointment times were incorrect - they have a very young inexperienced front desk staff there and obviously a lot of errors making simple appointments. I asked to speak to the owner and she "wasn't available" and the young girl looked terrified. My stylist was great-I have no complaints there at all, my hair looks good. I do want to say that the salon is dirty and outdated for the pricing that they charge. Missing trim boards-painted different colors-a total 90's look with cabinets falling apart and a LOT of hair/dust on the floor. It's like it's never been cleaned since they opened. For the money I'd rather go somewhere and feel like they take pride in where they work. read more

Base Color touch up & bolyage highlights I really love the base color and the mix of highlights colors Maria did it's an amazing truly creative art she has. Each time I look at the color in the mirror it's a great feeling to love the outcome. She's cut my hair one time I'm trying to gain some length back and with a quality cut such as hers I think I can accomplish this. Sitting in Maria's chair is nice relaxing experience. Seems like just let her know what you want and she delivers above & beyond without talking it through as she goes just makes it happen. read more

I love Focus everyone is great. I have been going to Lo now for almost 2 years. When I started my hair was in bad shape she helped bring my hair back to life. She is amazing with color. We started of slow with a little blue and purple and went to my whole head being blue which I loved. I figured out my natural color is blue. She also helped me with extensions when I was missing my long hair. Now we play around and have fun trying new things together. She also does my son's red hair as well as my sister who likes normal colors This last one is absolutely amazing as soon as I left the salon I received compliments. My hair has never been in better hands. If you want someone who you can trust and who does a wonderful job Lo is your girl. She is the sweatest person you will ever meet and she knows her stuff. I attached photos so that you can see how amazing she is!! read more

The owner of this salon trains everyone to cut hair when it is dry. The hair stylists are all well trained and they do a superb job! They also do great blow drys so you do not have to go home and restyle your hair. Get my color and cuts here! The front desk staff is friendly and they always greet me by name. They carry Davines hair products which are top notch and my favorite so can get everything done and purchased in one stop. Wouldn't think of going anyplace else! read more

Horrible My stylist had least personal skills. She kept pressing foil against my face to ensure it is easier for her never mind my face getting smooshed for an hour. During processing hair color was peeling off and flaking on my skin. It took forever to finish and I was extremely concerned. My hair looked ok after but was very dry and color was good only for three weeks. read more

Genevieve was absolutely amazing! I did an absolute terrible job explaining the color I wanted and she was calm, patient, & asked the right questions. It is so perfect! And her head massage when she is washing my hair is beyond relaxing. I've used her and Alyssa and both are perfection! read more

Let me start with this - GO WITH MORGAN Been going to this salon for over a year, they always do a great job, but about 3-4 months ago I met Morgan and she makes me look amazing . I have a real crappy hair but somehow she makes it look amazing , and not only the amazing talent she is, she is the kindest and best conversation person that I met. Obviously she's doing a great job with man and women ( judging by her instagram page ) I highly , without a doubt, recommend focus salon and especially Morgan for amazing haircuts and amazing customer service. read more

Great experience! I called the salon last minute for a blowout and was very impressed with the high quality shampoo and conditioner... Hannah was my stylist. Loved her. Thanks Focas, I will be back :) read more

I got a haircut with Kelsey and i love it! She did such a great job and really went out of her way to make sure it was perfect. She was also SO nice, i'd definitely recommend!! read more

Lo was great!!! I haven't gotten my hair highlighted, in well, 6 months... I was turning from blonde to brunette. Lo was very quick and now I'm back to my bright blonde self! Definitely suggest this salon. read more

Gina is amazing. I'm new to the area and very happy to have found a go/to full service salon. Friendly staff, very knowledgeable experienced associates, good products, great atmosphere, not outrageously priced. read more

Gina did a fantastic job: asked how I wanted my hair cut generally, asked more specific questions about problem areas, and very meticulously created the desired result. Definitely a measure-twice-cut-once approach, and the final product is outstanding! read more

Easy to schedule appointment. Large salon with stations spaced apart for health and safety Pleasant personnel and terrific customer service. Well done haircut. Stylist constantly inquired about my thoughts. read more

I have been going to Focus for years now. Hands down, the best salon in the Saint Charles area. I lived in the city for years, went to very high end salons and could not find a true color & hair extension expert who got it perfect-that is until I found Gina at Focus. I stopped in for a blow out having just moved to Saint Charles. I have difficult hair, and as a redhead, it is extremely hard to color match and blend my hair w/ extensions. I am very picky as well, and have high expectations. All the stylists are great, so it's hard to pick just one. The best part, if someone is booked, I can select from a nice variety w/o concern. Gina, Lo, Alyssa, Laura, Tyler, Hanna, Skyler, Renee-all amazing. Additionally, I rarely blow out my own hair because it is fine and difficult w/ extensions - at any time, I am always accommodated and know that any of the stylists available will make me look amazing. The front desk, managed by Matt are amazing, too. Friendly and always accommodating. Trish, the owner, onsite and gives great guidance to her team. I receive compliments constantly on my hair, people don't believe me when I tell them that I have extensions because the color, and texture match perfectly! If you want to have beautiful hair, go to this salon. Recently I transitioned from tape in extensions to hand sewn - Tyler did a fantastic job! read more

Renee is always waiting for me with a smile and a wonderful cut! Focas has always made me feel welcomed and safe during the pandemic and I won't go anywhere else! read more

Went in for a full highlight, cut, and style. Noticed that he stylist either smelled like alcohol or went out the night before (first warning sign). After we spoke, she felt that to get my hair a lighter blond, it would be best to color it. She insisted, several times, that she guarantees her work (next warning sign). I informed her that I process quickly and started to become concerned when my scalp started burning and itching, which she offered me a teasing comb to itch my head while I process (third warning sign). Needless to say, my hair came out red and burnt. She attempted to fix the color, I believe by pouring bleach directly on my hair and shampooing it. When I inquired about the odor, she assured me it was a solution hey use to lift color. Ugh... I certainly didn't want her to attempt to fix the color or damage, so I tried reaching the salon manger or owner. I called four times and the male receptionist insisted that there was not a salon manger available, but He could have the front desk manager call me back. I did not want to leave my number. No one should have to go through an experience like this. Beware... read more

Focas (and specifically Missy) is amazing! I bring in photos of what I'd like and and she works with me to get the look I want. I feel like she truly goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with the results and that my hair feels good when I leave. Most recently, she gave me beautiful balayage in a two-day process with a deep conditioning. I was apprehensive since I've never had these kinds of highlights before but it really turned out beautifully! read more

Focas Hair Salon - Beautiful job with the balayage! - Hair Salons Near Me - Saint Charles, Illinois

I love missy she is great, cept the receptionist stole $20 from me by charging me for services I never received, which Missy agreed I never received said services about 10 times, but the receptionist drilled it in her head that I did to the point she just agreed, power of suggestion. I don't blame Missy she's very sweet I like her, but I feel the receptionist needs to learn better customer service. Good customer service is not charging people for services they don't receive. Missy is phenomenal she gets my hair super slick straight! Just like I like it, not many salons can do this! I have really poofy wavy hair. My suggestion is if you come here ask for Missy! I really like Missy cause she gives me a good deal so I will continue to go to this place as long as Missy is there because she is phenomenal!! I probably should not of told you all that now never going to be able to get an appointment with her LOL read more

Yet another fabulous experience at Focas! Alyssa took my drab, lieless look and within moments used her shears to create a fresh new style!

I manage a 9 state sales territory for work, and stop for haircuts whenever and wherever it's convenient. I have never had a regular place or stylist. I had made a last minute appointment here a few months ago with Abby and it was one of the best haircuts I've ever had along with an amazing shampoo. Seriously.. would pay just for the shampoo! Came back about a week ago, Abby was booked but Gina was available and also had one of the best haircuts! Highly recommend this place. Reasonably priced, they listen to what you want and take their time to make sure it's right. read more
