I can't believe it took me 15 years to write a review!! Once you find a person you love, you hold on to them. Emsy is truly an artist when it comes to hair. He does a fantastic job with color, haircuts, and his updos are out of this world. I constantly get compliments on my hair and it's all thanks to him! He recently remodeled his space and it's so beautiful! City look and feel in the burbs! read more

Found La Mode on Classpass and I was double booked with another client and they still squeezed me in for a great haircut. Would definitely go back read more

I am new to the Glenview area and was looking for a good hair salon for a dye and trim. I googled "hair salons in Glenview" and the first name that popped up was "La Mode." I called there last month and booked an appointment for the next day on March 16th. Let me just say that NADIA IS THE BEST!! We hit it off from the start. She is so courteous and friendly. She listed to me and was able to make up my color perfectly. Btw, my color is red and it's not easy to work with but she made it perfect. Also she gave me a layer cut and blowout. Very happy with the outcome! I was so very happy with her work! I have another appointment today for a touch up. Can't wait to see her. I highly recommend this Hair Salon and I give NADIA the highest rating of 5 stars! read more

If I could give zero or negative, I would. My daughter sat in the chair at 400 pm and I had to rescue her from the salon at 945 and they still weren't done ruining my daughter's beautiful hair. It was long and just needed the roots to be touched up. The lady messed up the foils and then tried to do it again a second time. When that didn't work, she applied "color" at the roots to try to make it appear like there were highlights. When I realized my daughter was gone for almost 6 hours, I went there. And the lady was STILL working on her hair. And she has the NERVE to say I should appreciate her work and pay her. My daughter looks like a dying tiger. There's orange, white, brown, fat chunks, etc. Theres grid marks, blotches, orange clumps, etc. Her hair is ruined. My daughter is in tears and does not want to go to school. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. EDIT: these bastards messaged and harassed my teenaged daughter to pay this bill. When we got home, the entire back of her shirt was bleached! Her skin was irritated and it cost us $500 to fix at Mario Triccoci. The freaking rude lady said we needed to "appreciate work". My daughter is and was in tears. Refused to go to school and it's horrified that this damaged caused after 7 hours. No apology. Just a bill. read more

Picture this. Friday afternoon 11:00 I call the salon and tell them I have not seen them in two years and I cannot wait to get my roots touched up. They said a woman can accommodate me at 5:45. I walk into the Salon floored. The redo is amazing! It so beautiful and letting that sunshine shine bright. I was greeted by Emsy as always he was so kind and warm he was working on a bride! It was sooo sweet. Nadia took my partial highlights and finished with a blowout. Nadia is such a talented stylist and a beautiful woman to be around. The whole salon is friendly, prompt, clean, knowledgeable and carry many great product lines. I suggest their signature blowout. Truly amazing. read more

I can't begin to tell you what an amazing hair stylist Emsy is! The owner of the salon. After a bad case of balayage from another hair salon. In just in one week, he was able to make my hair from damaged and the ugliest combination of colors in my hair to what I wanted. He took just one look at the picture of what I asked for and let me know, it might not be possible due to my hair recently being colored but he will try his best to get it to the color I want. He did just that and more! He corrected my hair color and fixed my wired, awful, damaged looking hair to this! Thank you Emsy! He is a hair artist! read more

I came here with high hopes because of Yelp reviews. It is true what they say about reading the one star Yelp reviews first. Not only did the shampoo person have no clue on how to wash someone's hair, the stylist could not have been more apathetic. When I walked in, I was led right to the shampoo area. A good stylist will meet you first, have a look at your hair, and discuss what you want to have done. None of this happened until I requested to see the stylist. She gave my hair and me a desultory glance and disappeared. I was not encouraged. The shampoo woman barely wet my hair enough for the shampoo to be effective. Additionally, she used so little shampoo, one would have thought she was paying for it. I cannot describe how ineffective the wash was. There was very little scrubbing effort and half my head was ignored. Finally, somebody started scrubbing my head like it was supposed to be washed. I later learned it was the stylist, who had stepped in mid-wash. She did a great job but it was creepy to sit up and see a different face... but I was not unhappy. Next issue: The salon made a big deal about carrying and using Moroccan Oil products, which was a large part of why I chose this salon. Further, I had a conversation about wanting them to use both Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner products. They assured me it was no problem. I have no clue what conditioner was put in my hair but it was not Moroccan Oil. I know this because it smelled differently. In fact, the smell was rank and gave me an unbelievably quick headache. Writing this review is giving me another headache just remembering the reeking stink. **I'm making a big deal about the product because it's a fantastic product that works well. Had they not promoted MO, it never would've been an issue. On the other hand, I probably would not have gone into the salon had they not carried it. The stylist feigned surprise when I mentioned the Moroccan Oil and started leading me back to the shampoo area. At this point, every fiber of my being began screaming to get out of the salon ASAP! I told her thanks but no thanks, took off the towel, dropped $10 at the checkout counter and left. I'm not sure why I left anything for an unbelievably awful experience but did. My advice to anyone reading this review is to trust your gut. Always. It is important to have an open mind. However, when things start going awry at the beginning, they rarely get better. read more

La moda is the hair place to go to. It's the best salon in the north shore area. I found this salon many years ago and never looked back. My hair has never looked better. Mc and his staff are amazing. I promise you that you will be so happy you came into this very amazing salon. Robyn read more

I contacted the owner and he told me he would fix my hair if I took my review down first. I don't appreciate being blackmailed. read more

La Mode Hair Design & Spa - Nadia cut a random uneven chunk out of the back of my hair. Now it looks like my toddler cut my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

La Mode Hair design & spa is the best! Since I moved back to Chicago from New York, I have been coming here for 6 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I finally found a salon and a hair stylist that I trust completely with my hair. I get my extensions done by Emsy and also my cut and color. He is not only my hair stylist but also the owner and puts in so much love into his salon. The space is beautiful, clean and modern. His passion for his salon truly shows and I always come out feeling fabulous! Thank you for your continuous great work! I highly recommend la mode hair design and spa. read more

I wanted to try their salon for the first time. I called to book an appointment where they were offering openings on multiple days and times until I informed the lady on the phone that I had a Groupon. She then proceeded to tell me that you can only use Groupon on Wednesday but was willing and ready to book my appointment from the jump before the stated fact. No where in the fine print is there a specified date and time when the Groupon can be used. She was completely rude and incompetent in providing the best customer service to prospective clients. They must not really need the business for them to take out a Groupon ad and not comply with the coupon. They don't know how to market themselves nor know how to conduct a sales pitch. To the next prospective, good luck on trying to book something within your busy schedule. I can easily spend my $100+ at a more customer friendly salon. read more

I was absolutely delighted to discover this place on Saturday. The owner and other Ladies were very pleasant and skillful in coloring, cutting washing and styling my hair. I did some color correcting, balayage, cutting and styling. I loved Emsy's approach- very artistic and creative. Very grateful for my new Summer look . Also, I would like to thank the whole Team for accommodating me last Saturday since it was a sort of last minute apportionment. Wonderful Experience! I will definitely be your new client. read more

I admittedly had a Groupon for a haircut here - and got one of the best haircuts I've had in years. I went in with a long bob that was ok, but not spectacular, and the bangs NEVER worked right. I left with a layered, somewhat funky long bob with thicker bangs that work better than any bangs I've had since I started getting them 5 years ago. She took off way more in the back then I thought, but now it's bouncy and way more "styled". I've gotten at least 10 compliments at work - again, a first. The haircut itself didn't take long, which I appreciate, and the blowout was insanely thorough. I haven't had a blowout like that in years. If you're looking for just that, I recommend them with no hesitations. read more

Did a moroccan oil treatment here. The receptionist was a bit wierd, thus taking the star off, but the rest was great. Hair looked amazing after and held up for a few days. Emsy is quite the master. Its a bit pricey, but worth it for special occasions I suppose. They also have a nail tech there and offer organic hair color, which is a big plus. read more

I started going here when I still lived in the north suburbs and despite having moved downtown in the Loop, I still make the hour commute back North - commute time means so little when it comes to trusted quality service. I have long hair that I color about twice a year. I would not trust anyone else but Emsy and his team as I am paranoid about damaging my hair - especially when I go from my dark brunette to blonde for the summers! Even when I'm not sure how I want my hair colored, I can trust the La Mode team to get the exact color that results in months of compliments. I highly recommend this salon, as my mother and sister left their old salons to become La Mode clients! read more

I loved La Mode Hair Salon! My 8 bridesmaids and I got our hair done at the salon. We had such a great time! Emsy and his team were more than accommodating to all my needs! He created such a beautiful up do hair style for me and we all also got our make up done at the salon too! Varna did a phenomenal job on my make up!!! The whole salon team was amazing!!From hair to make up I was unrecognizable!! Extremely satisfied with my overall experience!! Highly recommend this salon to anyone who has a special event to attend or just to anyone who needs a cut/style!! A huge thank you to all for making my bridal party and myself look and feel so beautiful!! read more

This place sucks!! I came here for color and a haircut and the owner of the PLACE cut my hair and it was a mess! she didn't want to admit it she said it looks "pretty" I don't even cut hair but it was uneven very messy cut. I went to a another place right after the person who cut my hair there told me the same thing it wasn't a good hair cut at all. She was an asshole for not even wanting to fix my haircut between the guy who colored my hair got black hair dye on my boots and my LV bag. it was the worst experience ever!! i definitely don't recommend this place. read more

I came here as a walk in to get an eyebrow waxing and was told 15 minutes. I went next door to get something to eat and came back 20 minutes later and was told just a minute. I then waited another 10 minutes and finally just left. No one seemed to care or even know what was going on. Don't come here as a walk in. read more

I have been coming to this salon for years but they keep surprising me with new products and hair treatments. Highlights, winter, stress all made my hair look dry, frizzy and lifeless. I tried a new hair nourishing and smoothing treatment today and absolutely love it. Thank you so much for making my hair look beautiful and healthy for all these years! read more

I was looking for a new salon. It was time. I went into La Mode Hair Salon. I am so, so happy I did. What a lovely man! Emsy paid such attention to details and listened to what I wanted. My hair is fabulous! He highlighted my hair and with such detail, no rushing. It looks even and natural. The shampoo he used and conditioner made my hair like silk. He then cut my hair. I feel wonderful!! Please check Emsy out. He is amazing!!! He truly knows his stuff. I felt confident the whole time in his hands. I for sure will be going back. Thank you! read more

I been going to this salon for a years and they are fabulous , emsy dose the great job on my hair , and the spa is amazing i do my Face facial there and im in love , I am addict to this salon , plus i like all the treatment that they did use it to my hair read more

I will recommend Emsy as a good professional and a person who knows what he is doing. For the first time, I came to the salon with no idea about my hair. Emsy managed to find the best look for me (cut and colour). In some months, I even asked him to make my wedding hairstyle which was amazing. read more

Great salon. Nadia is super nice and a great professional! I feel extra glamorous after my blow dry here.

I'm always having an OUTSTANDING experience at this amazing place. Finally I found right hairstylist. Thank you, Emsy, for making me beautiful Besides the superb hair services I also enjoyed great interior design and music! read more

This place is great and clean ,I had been waiting too long for a color and highlight and Extensions because I didn't love my old salon. So after reading some good Yelp reviews,I chose to go here. Emsy and his team is AWESOM.Listened to what I wanted , did great job, I love my hair color and highlight and I loveeeee my Extensions look great , and I did my make up with Varna i really love what she did . I Recommend everyone who need great salon to come here . read more

The location is very nice and convenient with plenty of parking. It's a very cute salon but I just had an overall unpleasant experience. I bought a Groupon for this location which was Groupon put up by error but the owner was very gracious to let me make the appointment and match the price on the voucher in salon for full color and cut. When I got there, the stylist told me that I am getting a root touch up only which confused me because I called in for full color. Then I was told that because of my long (I never knew shoulder length hair is considered long) it would be extra charge on top of the Groupon, which I was sort of fine with because they were accommodating to take the Groupon that should have never been up. I picked out a color that has a hint of violet/purple in it and when the color was applied it looked awfully red. That's fine I thought. Maybe it will change. The whole experience felt rushed. I felt like the dye was getting thrown on my head. It ended up all over my ears, forehead, cheeks, back of neck and almost got on my pants despite wearing a smock. Finally when it was time to wash it out, a second stylist who was very kind tried very hard to get the red dye out of my forehead and rest if me with minimal luck. I do appreciate the attempt though. I was told a cream should have been put on me. So that's my goal for today, getting the rest of dye off my skin. A third stylist cut my hair, she was very nice and friendly. When she was done it didn't quite look like what I asked for and when I said I think it looks strange and chunky I was assured it's just the way it was blow dried. Alright I thought, it's past their closing time, maybe I'll come back if I don't like it after I wash it myself. And on top on that my hair is burgundy red now with no hint of purple. I didn't mention to the stylist because I love red, just not what I picked out in the book. I've been looking for a salon in my area but I don't think this will be the place. It's possible because I had a later appointment and everyone just wanted to go home or because I had a discount but I don't think I'll be back. Something about coming out of the salon with the wrong hair color and a disappointing haircut doesn't seem like my idea of of a good time. Oh! And there is a $5 charge for using a credit which noone told me about until it was time to pay. read more

I've been getting my hair done here for years, Emsy is the absolute best at what he does (which is everything)! I've also had the most relaxing facials, makeup and massages by Akila. When I want to get pampered and have a special event that evening, I just get everything done there all same day (Blowouts or updos, eyebrow threading, makeup and nails)! Love it! Great atmosphere and amazing staff too. read more

Emsy gave me an excellent haircut and styled my hair beautifully. The Moroccan Oil conditioning treatment was wonderful.

La Mode Hair Design & Spa - Color, cut and style by emsy - Hair Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

This is a first class salon. Emsy is an expert hair dresser and his wife Varna does amazing makeup! I have been going to Emsy for over 10 years and he does my extensions, color sand blow dry. His pricing is very reasonable, and knows how to match color perfectly. My hair was very damaged when I first came to Emsy, and he has not only made my hair much healthier with his treatments, but he has also matched a color that fits me best. He does amazing extensions, color, highlights, cut, blow dry, and more. His wife Varna does beautiful makeup and also knows how to do a variety of makeup styles as well. The atmosphere at the salon is always very nice and I feel like family when I go there. The prices are very reasonable, and he is also open on Sunday's as well and is very accommodating as far as appointment times are concerned. I have never seen a better hairdresser/artist than Emsy and I will continue to go to him forever! read more

La Mode Hair Design & Spa - Hair by Emsy, make up by Varna - Hair Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Highly recommended! This salon is "IT" for me, my family and friends. Emsy is a master hairstylist that can restore any hair and make it look fantastic, like a movie star hair that loosk healthy and shiny. They use high quality organic products and their services are better than any salon I've ever visited. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality products and services they offer. Staff is very friendly and professional and they offer variety of services that makes it a one stop shop for me. A while back I had a very bad experience with a hairstylist I used at that time and he burned my hair so bad, no one was able to fix it. Emsy was the only hairstylist that decided to help and came up with a plan and put so much effort into it and was able to restore it and bring it back to life. He used organic products and some extensions, where needed so I looked like my old self again, even better than before. He styled my blonde hair for over 12 years, every three weeks (my hair is originally dark brown) and made it healthy, smooth, shiny and gorgeous. He is great with picking the right color, hairstyle and haircut for the specific skin complexion, color of eyes and shape of the face. He has styled hair for over 15-20 years, has been in many hair show competitions and is always implementing new and better trends. All my friends and family are very happy with him and his services. I decided to go back to my original color (dark brown) and he fully supported me and help me tremendously with that transition. My hair is healthier than ever. I am so grateful to him and his team. Varna is an amazing make-up artist. She offers light, medium or heavier make-up depending on the occasion and she makes it perfect and looking natural. The spa and nail services are also fantastic. This is a great salon for an everyday hairstyle or the most special day of my life. read more

Purchased Groupon based on hours advertised on their website - open til 7pm Mon - Thursday, and until 8pm on Friday and Saturday, closed on Sunday. Apparently not for Groupon users - just tried calling a week in advance to schedule my appointment after 6pm on any weekday so I could go after work or on Saturday any time, and was told in not very professional way - only option they had for me 11 am on weekdays. Well, I guess they are trying to fill slow times - good for them, not so good for us working stiffs! I just cancelled my groupon, and taking my business elsewhere, not cool - misleading groupon customers. read more
