This is not the first time Brittany has colored my hair incorrectly, and I am very disappointed. I chose to give her another opportunity because she had done my hair correctly in the past, but unfortunately, the result was once again not what I requested. My hair was highlighted incorrectly and turned platinum blonde, which I never asked for. It appeared to be over-processed, or the wrong toner was used. I typically require a level 9 toner, and it's clear that was not applied. Because of how poorly the service turned out, I had to find another salon open on a Sunday to correct it, as it was not suitable for work. At this point, I am requesting a refund due to the repeated issues and the additional time and expense required to fix the mistake. read more

Very clean and Well looking salon, Owner is very respectful and kind. I've had 3 different hair stylist and all 3 never failed to impress!

I've been going to Chelsea since I moved to Batavia, she has done a great job with blending my grey hairs in with highlights. She's always friendly but also respects my need to introvert and just read, I always find my time here to be peaceful and enjoyable while taking some me time! read more

Note: this review is just for the skin care / spa side of the salon. I was super impressed with my waxing by Natalie. She was just so kind, worked fast but was gentle at the same time. My eyebrows have a great shape, clean up and my face looks so much brighter. I was fit in right away with a last minute appointment and the price was right on point of other salons in the area. read more

I've been going to Brittany at Katrina's for over three years now because she is simply the best. She's nailed every cut and color I've ever wanted whether it was blonde, bronde, or brunette. My mom also started going to her over the last year and both of us are forever her biggest fans. 100% recommend! read more

1st time there. Not impressed with front desk staff or facility...after reading all the great reviews I had high expectations. Was not greeted in a timely manner, no water offered waited 10 mins above and beyond my appt time and had to ask 2 different associates for the wifi password. I received a gift card for a massage which is what led me here... and AJ was amazing!! I've had several massages over the years but she was seriously the best by far!! I referred to her as Batavia's best kept secret!! Going back for another one in November. I would give Aj 10 stars if I could but 4 total incl facility and front desk staff. read more

Generally, an inviting atmosphere and efficient even for a last minute appointment. Katrina!s came through with a superb first time experience. Thanks to all the staff from start to finish. read more

I've been going there for about a year now for pedicures. I called to make my next appointment and was told they no longer do pedicures. OK no one mentioned this at my last appointment and no one called me when they made this decision. Low level service. I won't be back. read more

I have visited this salon twice with the same stylist for hair cuts. The first time I was just doing a pretty significant cut, about 7" cut off. The second time, I wanted to add some color and my stylist suggested the "balayage" trend, basically low-maintenance highlights. I was very excited about the opportunity, as I haven't colored my hair much. Unfortunately, the result was not good. The colors were very stringy, rather than a nice blended look. I asked for shades of brown, one more blonde looking (caramel) and one more red looking (auburn). They were mostly blonde, not caramel, and there wasn't a lot of color at all...it was hardly noticeable. The stylist said once I go home and wash and style it myself in the next few days, if I want more red to call her and she can add a few foils, because she didn't do a lot of the auburn color. I did so, and went to the salon where she squeezed me in and made me feel like I needed to be SO grateful for her to be able to do that for me between her appointments. Meanwhile, I stood between 2 stylists doing clients hair diffusing my own hair. Seriously. Please note, I am not a stylist. I don't claim to be. And I showed photos of what I wanted, to explain both the overall color look and the colors. I don't know the exact words to use in the million shades of red. Well, when I went back the red she gave me was a bright like crayola red, not a nice brownish redhead color red. Either way, the colors were AWFUL. I called it "ketchup and mustard hair" -- seriously. Strings of a stark yellow blonde and strings of bright red. The worst part? I called before my original appointment AND asked my stylist at the start of my appointment what the cost would be, expecting it to be around $120 at the most, but nobody could tell me because they "weren't sure what it would be" until the stylist decides if it's full highlight, partial, etc., and when I got to the desk at the end of my original appointment it was $170!!!!!! BEFORE TIP. It was awful and shocking to pay that much when I wasn't expecting to, for coloring I didn't like at all, and after a second appointment where I had to dry my own hair. Needless to say, I have not returned and will not return. I would suggest getting a CLEAR ANSWER of what you're expected to spend before you arrive, if possible. read more

Erika is amazing!!!Not only is she super nice and friendly, she is a great stylist. I got a baylage and the color turned out beautifully. I also got a haircut. My previous haircut, was really messed up, the place I went to before really jacked it up. Erika somehow fixed the hair cut and now my hair style's so nice. I will definitely be coming back for my next haircut and color! read more

Katrina Salon & Spa - Bayalage and cut by Erika. - Massage Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

It's the little touches at Katrina that make it a spa-like experience. Need a glass of water? Your choice of mango or lemon! Would you like some fresh tea and an aromatherapy session of your choice before your massage? Don't mind if I do! The prices are really fair but I feel like I'm at an upscale facility. Most recently I visited Ulysses to save my hair. I had a cut that did not work for me, and somehow read my mind when I said I wanted "white but not white" highlights. True master of his craft. A nice touch, he gave a deep conditioning treatment for my dry hair, free of charge. He's a pro and I will definitely be back to visit him. read more

Hello, I've just had my 3rd visit at Katrina's Salon. I started here a few months ago. My last stylist, after a long time, ended up leaving and I was lost! Find another stylist!? I had nowhere to turn and sometimes recommendations don't work out... I let my fingers and eyes do the running and I was led to try Katrina Salon & Spa. First time, I made them my Salon! I wanted to cut my long hair and get shoulder length with a trendy style. I may be a little older but I want what I like......and I loved it! Brittany was fabulous. What a shapely doo and she didn't mind at all, when its like "Oh, can you cut more here or texturize more here. I was making my style and she didn't mind the inputs, that means a lot! I let my hair grow out and then I had a wild one and wanted short and punky, and I'm going silver/gray! I told them I wanted a master stylist, because of what wanted this time. I got acquainted with Katie and I have not this kind of haircut for a long time, ....and had not this kind of Stylist either!! So perfect, so caring, so listening, so professional, so in tune with what I was wanting, what I was looking for!! It's hard nowadays to find a stylist that knows her stuff and cares enough about her customers to let them know she's there and listens and follow throughs with a beautiful style, color, cut, etc...... and a happy/grateful client! I love this beautiful salon/spa and can't wait to go back for a trim or trying some other spa experiences! Ladies/gents, you must make a spa day or a fun Hair day! You won't regret it! read more

I have gone here for a blow dry and style and the staff are all very friendly. I love the cucumber touch when you get your hair shampooed they place cucumbers on your eyes- very relaxing. Left with my hair feeling soft and shiny and hydrated. Pricing very reasonable and salon is nice inside too. read more

Booking, checking in and out were a breeze. Very helpful staff. Found this salon here on Yelp and took word from other reviews here about Erika. I booked a haircut with her and she was amazing! Last time I had my hair short was more than ten years ago. Erika made me feel comfortable and excited instead of anxious and scared. The moment I showed her a photo of the cut I want, she knew exactly what to do and how to do it. Been living in the area about 2 years now and I finally found my salon and stylist. P. S. New clients get a $20 coupon from their site. read more

Katrina is so friendly and on top of her game. So lucky to have the owner do your hair. She did an amazing job and did so with extreme attention to detail. Katrina's salon is a modern chic salon with all your needs. Really reasonably priced for the quality of services. Bonus points for a full spa and nail studio. Everyone her is smiling and friendly. Cannot give enough good praise. read more

I'm glad I came in - I was hesitant to change hair stylists (I still love you Tony @ Exsalonce) but after moving to the burbs and being a new mom - taking an hour drive into the city just isn't feasible right now! I called to make a same day appointment (Friday) and was in within 2 hours. I wanted a senior stylist because I'm so picky about my hair color (being asia, if color isn't applied correctly, highlights can become very brassy) but none were available. So I booked with Junior Stylist Marissa and she did an amazing job! The appointment took longer than I wanted (2.5 hours) but Marissa insisted the next time won't take as long - she just wanted to get a feel for how my hair reacts so she took her time. Great Aveda salon experience. Loved the scalp massage, hot towel and cucumber over the eyes treatment :) I walked out $150 poorer (partial highlight/low light + cut) inclusive of tip but very satisfied with my hair. read more

Just moved back from Louisville, Kentucky and needed a haircut badly! Searched Yelp and found Katrina's. I was terrified to let someone else cut my hair... Made an appointment and went last night and found my new hair bff Brittany! She was amazing. Talked to me about the haircut I wanted, took the time to show me how to style it, and kept the conversation going! The salon was great, and the product selection was wonderful. I'll definitely go back! read more

Katrina has amazing service, really sweet employees and it's a beautiful salon. I've had a haircut at Katrina and I walked out feeling awesome. The last couple of appointments I've schedule was for my pedicure and manicure. I've been scheduled with Laura and she's great! She's friendly, talkative and really sweet, but very inexperienced doing nails. My pedicure was midocre and my manicure was awful. She didn't clean up my cuticles very well, I had hang nails the next day, there were air bubbles on the side of my nails from the gel nail polish, it wasn't applied on my nails neatly and after 5 days the gel nail polish started coming off. I was very disappointed at the job she did and a week later I had to get my nails done again. I would recommend going to Katrina for hair services, but as for my nails I will be going somewhere else. If you like the service a lot at Katrina, then ask for a more experienced nail tech. read more

I went into Katrina for my first time the other day and received a great haircut from Tiffany. When I walked in I liked that it was a nice salon, but not too big with dance music blasting. The mood was mellow, you are offered a coffee or water (lemon or cucumber?) upon arrival. Tiffany was friendly and my shampoo came with a nice head massage and minty cloth over my forehead... Great place to be pampered! read more

First impression when I walked into Katrina Salon a few months ago for the first time: "Would you like some water or a glass of champagne?" Champagne? Oh yes. You've hooked me. I have seen Brittney for the last two appointments for both a hair cut and color and she did an amazing job. Before we even got started, she gave me her input on what color I should do because I like my hair to be pretty low maintenance. Meaning I really only go to a hair salon twice a year. Instead of the usual judgment I get from saying that from all other hair salons I've been to, she just suggested a color that would look good growing out for a few months! Normally I get the whole speech about how often I *should* get my hair done, and not when its reasonably for me and my schedule. The second time I saw Brittney I wanted to cut off a lot of my hair and my goodness did she deliver. I was absolutely in love with my haircut and I'm still getting compliments on it weeks later!! In a nut shell: the prices are reasonable, they offer you champagne and a peppermint scalp massage, and Brittney does amazing work and takes the time to do a great cut and color. read more

I'm giving them five because the only way my first visit tonight could have gone better is if they fed me, which they might actually have done if asked. Great stylist (Erika) who guided me into a cut that looks better for my hair when all I really came in for was a trim. She wasn't pushy, just made some good suggestions and I love it! Fabulous pedicure with Nancy, my feet haven't been this happy in a long time. I got Gel Pedi and regular mani and both were great. Great staff, convenient hours, relaxing atmosphere--I'll definitely be back! read more

I got my hair done (full highlight) by Britney last week at the recommendation of my mom who also goes to her and all I can say is I am beyond satisfied. I live in Chicago and plan to make the commute out to get my hair done going forward. For a salon it is VERY hard to satisfy in all aspects - it's either too pricey, too bitchy or the stylists just don't do a great job. Katrina delivers in all facets of running a salon and spa. I've been getting my hair colored blonde for at least 10 years and have been through countless stylists. I will be going back to Britney until she leaves and then I will probably follow her! My mom, the same sentiments. Additionally, the receptionists were pleasant, the assistant who shampooed my hair was awesome and they are more than willing to set you up at a station so you can blow-dry your own hair and not have to pay extra. They recently remodeled the salon and it looks amazing. All in all, no complaints. Check this place out. read more

This newly remodeled salon in downtown Batavia is a gem. The interior is beautiful. There is a very mellow vibe without the loud music or overpowering smell that you often find in hair salons. Marisa cut my hair and I will be going back to her. She really listened to me before she started anything. She is very knowledgeable about curly hair and gave me a great new style. read more

I just moved to Elburn from the city and was looking for a place to get a haircut before starting my new job. I'm pretty salon-loyal, so I was a bit wary of trying a new place without knowing anyone who goes there. I'm growing my hair out and didn't want to lose a ton of length, but did want to clean up my layers and the situation with my quickly-growing bangs. After reading Yelp reviews, I headed to Katrina. I was able to book an appointment for the very same day I called. When I got there, Erika talked with me for several minutes about what I wanted, what I liked and didn't like about my hair currently, and gave me helpful (and welcome) suggestions on what she thought would work for me. My hair turned out perfectly. Cleaned up but not chopped off. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I already made my appointment to return in a couple of months. Thumbs up. read more

Almost 2 years later and I'm still going to Brooke. I just want to update and give Char her props as well bc she is SO SWEET and does an amazing job handling the front desk. She always looks great and her fabulous attitude makes Katrina's an inviting space that all kinds of people feel comfortable in. read more

I had a 90min Hot Stone Massage w AJ. I've had a few other massages (Swedish, romantic, pregnancy, ect) this was the best one yet! The hot stones were a nice touch, not sure I'd spend the extra $ on them everytime, but they were worth trying out. The staff here was friendly, they apolgized for the appearance of the salon/spa a cpl times (doing some renovations) but it looked nice to me. This salon is located in a charming downtown area of Batavia and there is a free parking garage right next door. The salon/spa is updated and appealing. On another note, the music during my massaage did not work part of the time and they applied a 10% discount off the massage, this was a nice touch. I will book here again. read more

Brooke is the best esthetician I have ever been too! I still travel 45 minutes just to see her! This place has the best customer service. They greet you with a smile and offer a beverage. I got a friend a facial here and while I waited the staff gave me a chair massage and offered a bunch of complimentary services! Visit this place and see for yourself. read more

Classiest bunch of ladies I've ever had chop off my hair or get my sweet but inappropriate lady 'stache waxed. Reasonable pricing for a salon, which is still a bit steep, but this is from someone that used to get her hair done at Supercuts. I love that it's within walking distance of my house, and since I often arrive sweaty and unkempt, the cucumber water they provide really hits the spot. I might try out their massage services one day but maybe I'll drive when that happens. read more

Are you there Sam? It's me, Emily. Best salon I've been to in years. Great service and great products. Recently found out though that Sam, the girl who has been doing my eyebrows (an eyebrow wiz!!) has left Katrina's. I'm broken hearted. Sam I hope our paths cross again I don't know if I can trust anyone else with them. read more

Clean bright salon. Friendly staff. What I like about the Aveda line is that it is cruelty free. What I like about the Aveda products is that they do wonders for my hair. The stylist who cut my hair, Liz, was great. She listened well when I asked for a certain style and executed flawlessly. She took a lot of time understanding what I was looking for and made sure I was informed on her process every step of the way, not to mention she carried good conversation. I plan to go back, no doubt. read more

Where to even start, I'm not from the area and Katrina's came highly recommended, I was a bit hesitant as my hair has been quite the process and no one has gotten it to what I wanted (I know I sound high maintenance but I swear I'm not) to my pleasant surprise IT WAS amazing! Liné made the difference, she spent hours creating a masterpiece and of course with my hair it didn't turn out quite perfect, I called got in two days later and it was no big deal no hassle no guilt and she did research on her own time to find a way to get it perfect and what I was looking for! I couldn't be happier and I never want to go any where again! read more

Came in today for the first time for a haircut, wax & to purchase some hair and makeup products. Erika did such an amazing haircut and style! She brought my hair back to life! Brynn did an awesome waxing job! Last but not least Char rocked with helping me choose the right powder & bronzer for my skin tone. Love my new makeup, hair products & wax! Will definitely be coming back. The customer service from the time that I called and made the appointment to arriving and checking in and out was consistent with everyone who helped me. That is very rare to find in any salon today. Thank you Katrina Salon & spa for your professionalism. read more

I've been getting my hair cut at Katrina Salon for 10 years and could not be happier with the service. The products are fantastic and the customer service is unbeatable. read more

I've seen several stylists at Katrina Salon & Spa over the years and they are all extremely talented. The customer service there is top-notch. I've been going there for almost 10 years and can say they have an amazing team. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went to Katrina's to get a repair job from a terrible shag haircut from a different salon. Karen did an amazing job getting my hair back into the current year, not the 1970's Florence Henderson hair I walked in with. read more

Had my first hair appointment at Katrina's today. An advanced color and cut by Kelli. The outcome is amazing. I hadn't been to a different stylist in 11 years so I was very skiddish to go somewhere new. Kelli and I discussed the look I was going for and I knew I was in good hands. She's a talented stylist and I will definitely be back in a couple months. read more

Heaven on Earth! This is my go-to place for everything! I go every 8 weeks for a cut and color. I have also had a pedicure there, waxings, massages, and a spray tan. I love this one-stop shop. Plus it smells heavenly. I love the scalp massages you get with a hair cut. They use peppermint oil and a hot towel on your head for extra relaxation before you're done. read more

When I moved to Batavia from the city, I was worried that I'd have to spend a lot of time commuting to an Aveda salon, and have a hard time finding a stylist that can work with my super curly hair. How lucky did I feel when I looked across the street from the coffee shop I started working at and saw Katrina! I made an appointment with L.J., upon a recommendation from the receptionist when I asked who was good with curly hair. She gave me a great cut that looks awesome blown out or curly. Everyone who works there was very nice, and L.J. was a lot of fun. I only took one star off because their waiting room is under a bit of repair, I think - the ceiling was exposed. All in all, a great experience, and I will be going back. read more

What a treat!! I was in desperate need of some pampering while in the Chicago area, and was treated like an absolute PRINCESS!!! Brooke gave the most amazing facial I've ever had. I had a haircut too (with "THE" Katrina) and you can see why her name is on on door. The range of Aveda products was really dangerous, and I got pretty carried away... but we have to be good to ourselves, don't we??? It was such a pleasant experience. If anyone finds themselves in that area I would definitely recommend a visit!! read more
