Marian is the main stylist and she is wonderful and extremely accommodating with appointments as well as hair washing process. She has given me two fabulous haircuts that I absolutely loved and her styling fees are very reasonable. There is also free parking garage around the corner (you get one hour for free) ask Marian and she will direct you!

FYI: Just a disclaimer- I am neither related to nor employed by this hair salon. (In response to…read moreone of the reviewers below who seems to think that this is an advertisement). I simply love Edessa's Hair Salon because Marian, the owner and Senior Stylist, is who I have gone to get my eyebrows waxed and hair coifed for over a decade. In fact- she is the SOLE person (other than myself) who I will allow to touch my eyebrows. These are my genuine honest opinions as to her business professionalism and skills as an esthetician. (2-22-2015) Original Review: Edessa Salon is a hidden gem in Evanston, Illinois. Marian is fantastic and talented and the salon is so clean and pretty. All the products are brand new and top of the line. I stopped in today and got my eyebrows professionally shaped and waxed and threaded. The prices are what keeps me coming back! They are waaay lower than any in the area and she does full service waxing, hair cuts, highlights, perms, extensions, hair styling, even make-up applications. She is an expert at hair no matter how young or young at heart :) Nail services are by appointment only- 12/manis, 20/pedis- all using OPI nail polish and brand new and CLEAN equipment! She takes CASH and CHECK only (for now anyways). ALSO for Northwestern students- it is WILDCARD Advantage! I love Edessa Salon and will continue my patronage!

I especially love that you can opt for a dry cut, which I prefer since I have cowlicks that cause my hair to sit differently dry than wet. A dry cut better reflects how my hair will look day to day, dried with my consumer hairdryer and my selected part. Very great bonus that it also means I can be in and out in 15-20 min.

The first time I went to her for my eyebrows, she did a great job and gave them a nice shape. The second time I went however she was on the phone the entire time and totally left sparse hairs and gave my eyebrows absolutely no shape. It was a very sloppy job and I know it had to do because she was "multi-tasking." I feel it was very unprofessional and even though she is nice, it was a turn-off to see her more focused on her phone call than doing the job she is there to do.

Sadly it didn't paste. I'm just sorry i didn't find Julie sooner, but I will absolutely make her my only beauty salon from now on only now I want to make sure others don't wait till they are an aging grandma to find this great and talented owner I was so pleased with Julie's gentle handling and professional additional suggestions that added a softer look for me. I came in sadly with a very uneven haircut from another hairdresser and Julie herself took care of everything! I had asked friends who they would suggest and her name came up several times! I didn't even know about her award until I saw it on the wall today as I entered but had just heard wonderful things from friends that I just sure wish I had heard sooner !!! Julie had a way of giving suggestions too, subtle changes, but not pushing , and she listened to what I had to say, and what I wanted and took everything into consideration saying softer cuts on the side might make a more gentle look for an aging grandma of 16!!

ROMELIA HAS ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, FRIED MY HAIR AND IT IS FALLING OUT IN CHUNKS!! PLEASE DO NOT GO…read moreHERE IF YOU VALUE YOUR HAIR AND SANITY!! :( Romelia made my very healthy, long hair fall out in CHUNKS after overprocessing my hair. She has taken zero accountability or action to resolve this. Even though she fried my hair, she will not refund as she says "a service was provided." Romelia is the most unprofessional person I have ever worked with and should not be allowed to be in business. Romelia disappeared and left me in the chair for over an hour with bleach on my hair while she did laundry/other things. My hair is absolutely fried, I had bleach spots that did not blend, the hair all around my face completely broke off, which will take YEARS to grow back and I was charged for a bayalage, even though she only did a partial highlight. And the worst part is that I reached out to her in an extremely kind manner to resolve this multiple times and she has taken zero accountability for her mistakes. In fact, she read my message I wrote in tears and chose not to respond for 4 days (although she had time to continue posting on instagram) which is extremely unprofessional. I went into the salon with inspiration photos but also seeking Romelia's advice because I told her I wanted to go blonde but my most important goal was to maintain the integrity of my hair. She told me she could do what I asked without a problem or damage. I left with yellow hair, bleach spots throughout and my hair looked like a skunk in a ponytail by how streaky she left it. It was not blended at all and within 2 days, all the hair around my face began breaking off. I messaged her with photos and she asked me to come back in to fix it. I asked her if we could do a root melt to blend my base color into the highlights and tone my hair to fix the brassy blonde. She told me the only two toners in the industry that were available were warm and ash. I know that color is a wide spectrum and that this was not true. I told her I didn't want to be grey and that is exactly how she toned my hair anyways. At the end, I told her I no longer felt blonde and wasn't sure I would get used to it. She told me that she would not charge me and then asked if I wanted a few waves in my hair, I told her yes if she had time and then she proceeded to charge me $50 styling for waves that took her 2 mins and fell out within an hour. A true professional can admit their wrongs and also admit when they don't know how to fix their mistakes (therefore referring you to someone else). I left with grey hair, more bleach spots and my hair falling out into even further chunks. I had to get bangs today by another stylist just to try to hide the damage because my hair is 3 inches long in the front and along the sides now. I have huge holes in my hair (that goes down to my mid back) that I will now need extensions to fill in for the next several years while it grows back. Every stylist in the salon that fixed my hair was shocked at the amount of overprocessing and breakage I had. PLEASE learn from my mistake and do not go here if you value your hair/sanity. These people are crooks and have no idea what they're doing!! Photos posted are of the breakage/bleach spots after the first session and continued breakage after the second. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
