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!

Bri was so sweet and did a great job!

In response to the owner, the 200+ reviews on Groupon speak for themselves, the majority of the…read morepositive reviews are about Hannah, who is unfortunately gone (and ended up abruptly quitting her job though she had many clients, shows what kind of person you are to work with), and the negative reviews happen to be about the owner. So it seems I'm not the only one who has seen this bad side of the owner. I also came across bad reviews on Yelp. And the fact that your salon needs to have Groupons and Yelp coupons running for over 3 years tells me the business is suffering (the reviews on Groupon go back as far as 2013). Our "weapon" was an iPhone, and my husband recorded her abusive words while she was doing her screaming and flailing her hands around. Very classless business owner. I can see why her employees can't stay there very long. Interesting thing was when I told the owner that I was going to write a Yelp review and said she didn't care, that she wasn't afraid of Yelp reviews. Look at her now, for someone who didn't care about the bad review she knew was coming, she is sure spending a lot of her time defending herself, which typically shows a guilty person. The good news is Glam rock salon is excellent, and I will go back to see her for color. She is in Wheaton, and if anyone wants excellent color with Pravana colors from a young and happy person, she is one good option to try (see my 5 star review on her). Another great small salon for people to try is Salon Blu in Western Springs, good cuts and color as well, she is an older woman, and very jovial and sweet. Mario Tricoci in Oakbrook is nice as well, but a bigger salon. I wanted to see what else was out there, but I will stick to what I know to be good. Lesson learned: Look at not only Yelp reviews, but Groupon reviews as well. If the reviews go back years, then there is a reason for that. On a side note: I feel bad for this owner, I hope she gets the help she needs for her anger so that she can run a good business and hold onto employees.
