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!

Ok so I was scared trying a new stylist, I always am. But I think it was time after 3 years of…read moregoing to Salon Blonde I needed a change and it was getting too expensive. So I read Stella's review and thought why not. So far so good, I am yet to actually wash my hair and style it myself. That is my ultimate test cause with 2 kids I have no time to stand in front of a mirror with a whole bunch of hair tools. The salon itself is ok , nothing fab. But Goca is very nice, and she seems to know hair. She is helpful when it comes to your cut. After about 2 minutes I felt like she was one of my friends as we talked about everything, it was a comfortable experience. So kudos to Goca, and thanks Stella! I might have to change this to 5stars in the future.

I just have to say that it took her maybe 5-10 minutes to trim my bangs and she did an amazing job since I am so picky about my bangs and she even understood how my bangs work..so as I was leaving I went to pay and she didn't even charge me but I still gave her money for her trouble and taking me on such a short notice. I thought that was really nice of her! Now that she is in my neighborhood and she did a great job I may be tempted to switch stylists....

She took her time looking at my locks to get an idea of what I had and what could be done considering my requests. After she washed my hair, she again took her time to make sure my hair was just right, and even "fine-tuned" it after she had blow dried. My hair looks so much better now! I am so excited that such a great place is just down the street for me! Just goes to show that you don't need to go downtown and pay downtown prices for a great haircut. They don't take credit cards, so be sure to bring cash.
