It was my first time at Alia, and the energy was electric as I walked in. The host greeted me…read moreprofessionally (even though they were obviously having a computer meltdown) and introduced me to Isabela, my stylist. My hair is thick, wavy, curly, and has colics'. I explained what I didn't want, and Isabella worked with me to determine what I needed. As Isabella styled my hair, she described her technique. Kudos, girl. It was nice to see the stylist stations uncluttered with supplies. The establishment was impeccably clean and organized. So, I called ahead and made a same-day appointment. I lost track of time, was 30 minutes late, and still received professional service. I will return on time for my next haircut and possibly a color: today's haircut, eyebrow wax, and tip cost about 100$. Great job, Alia.

I have avoided high-end salons for quite some time because of the cost. My hair is baby fine and…read moreI've always had an issue with having to pay upwards of $250 to get my hair colored professionally. So, recently I opted to do an at home color myself and was incredibly unhappy with it so I called on Alia Rose to the rescue! I have heard of this salon over the years as I have a couple friends that go here. This is probably one of the prettiest and most well appointed salons I have ever been to. The staff, and I mean the entire staff from the front desk to the colorist and the shampoo girl, were beyond sweet. I had a great experience with Kailey, my colorist. She heard my plight and did an epic job at fixing my mess. I was in the chair for about three hours. A great experience here - I'm very happy with my hair color and I feel like I made a friend. FYI, this place seems to also be popular with young men as much of the clientele on the afternoon I was there were teenage boys and young men. They all seemed happy when the left. This place must be trending in locker room talk lol!

They have…read morebeen very cognizant of all customers' health and safety and have taken reasonable measures to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Olivia spent 3+ hours doing a full set of highlights with toner and color and it was so worth the price and more. Better value from what I was paying at every salon I went to in the city. Only snag was originally I couldn't book an appointment on the website due to a technical error but the receptionist took care of it by phone and was very kind. Definitely recommend Olivia if you are a blonde. Can't wait to go back!

Chong showed me the color samples, explained to me how the chemicals work and then she worked on her magic. She told me she mix 3 browns together to achieve the look I want. Omg, I love it!!! It's so subtle but I can see the color peaking out under the sunlight. By mixing 3 colors, she literally made mini highlights on my hair! I called to schedule my appointment, and I'm so glad I did! During my session there, I noticed she's extremely busy at the store.

A Chicago wedding gave me the opportunity to finally get my hair cut and blown out. I had the first…read moreappointment of the day (9am) with Frankie. Frankie is a great conversationalist and stylist! She listened carefully to what I was looking for and managed to build on the vision. In addition to cutting 3 inches off, she added some layers while keeping it low maintenance. To finish it off, she even put some temporary black spray to cover up my greys. It has pretty good staying power; I only noticed minimal rub off on my pillow. I'm on day two of the blow dry, and my hair still looks great! I paid $45 for the cut and blow dry, not including tip. It was worth every penny for me, not to mention a great souvenir from this trip to Chicago!

EVERYONE PLEASE READ BECAUSE I WOULD HATE THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I had been going here for…read morealmost 6 years solely because of Jessica. I am VERY picky when it comes to my hair and Jessica is a hair god! I would trust her with my hair completley and have never come across anyone as good as her. Sadly due to certain situations she had to stop doing hair. I continued to still go to this place and try Francci, a new person they hired to take jessica's place. The first time I went to her the color completley faded after one wash, even though I made sure to wash in cold water. They told me to come and would fix it free of charge, which i was very happy about! They DID not tell me they were bleaching my hair again about 2-3 days later. After that my hair COMPLETLEY broke off in multiple spots. When I was leaving the salon they kept telling me how good my hair looked, even though it looked terrible. When I got home clumps and clumps were coming out. When I texted francci what had happened she told me it was normal and nothing to worry about. On top of all that they charged me somewhere around $500 from going to dark brown to silver. I understand and was ready to pay that much but when you burn someone's hair off you would think they would compensate you or even give you the service for free. Not to mention during the bleach process she put a plastic bag over my head (I am in cosmetology school and was told to NEVER do that). My head started to get hot and I told her that, and she said "that's a good thing." It got to a point where it was unbearable so I said again to Francci "it's getting really hot" and she then said "oh wow it is hot let's wash you off!" When they took the plastic bag off there was literally steam coming off my head. I was also promised a free haircut and money off my new few services and never got it, even though I continued to go back. Every single time I went back I had more and more problems. There would be times my hair would have blonde patches, as if it wasn't even dyed. There are pictures below to show everything I am talking about. I am just posting this because I would hate for this to happen to anyone else. It's been almost year now and am still dealing with the consequences of my hair being broke off and fragile. They were almost more than unprofessional as one time they had an intern help with HALF of my hair and did not charge me any less for that either. I use to trust this place with everything and now I would never go back ever. Not to mention, Peggie once spilled coffee on my Louis Vuitton purse and said "oops" I attached pictures of my burnt off pieces and tried to compare the burnt pieces to how long my hair actually is (ignore the purple, I did that myself which turned out better and less patchy than going to this salon.)

It seems like she was not used to dealing with thick, latina hair, but that's not my problem. She started off by saying my hair was "too" long and was unfriendly. She took off a lot of my length and because I know my hair will grow back I'm not that mad. However.... This grown ass stylist did not put a LICK of product in my hair. No heat protector, no gel, NO PRODUCT anywhere... if I would've known that she was that lazy, I would have just gone to GREAT CLIPS instead b/c I KNOW they would've done a better job. I've never had such an uncomfortable experience like this. 10/10 would NOT RECOMMEND.
