Have been here twice for two separate services - once for a haircut and once for a blowout. I have…read morebeen pleased both times. I have long, thick curly hair and paid 80 USD (excluding tip) for a haircut and 70 USD (also excluding tip) for a blowout. The hairstylist, Nesa, was super friendly and gave me the haircut and the blowout at different times, two weeks apart. I did not go in with a reference picture and just asked her to do whatever she thought would look best. I was not disappointed. I was a little bit confused about the price of the blowout v haircut. It struck me as strange that there was only a ten dollar difference between the two, given that when I had the haircut, the blowout was included in the 80 USD I paid. I have never had a blowout as a separate service (in any salon) before, so I don't know if this is typical. This is a very unassuming salon in a university neighbourhood, with a ten dollar discount for students (unsure if this is just for UChicago students: call and check). The ambience is clean but unexceptional. Overall, I recommend this place. Of the other hair salons I have been to in HP, I have liked this one the best.

I work walking distance from this place but did not know it existed. I had gone to the nail shop across the street and there was an hour wait but since my lunch is only an hour I needed to find somewhere else. When I called the lady (don't remember her name sorry) was very nice and set up an appointment for me to run in on my lunch break. I loved the fact that I was the only client being serviced, it's less triggering for my social anxiety. The prices were great and I thought the young lady did a great job. Plus it's black owned so I felt good about keeping my coins in the community. I will be making another appointment soon

I visit Jasmin's every month (and have been for the past year and a half) to get my eyebrows…read morethreaded. Jasmin does a fantastic job, and knows just how to shape my eyebrows in a manner than most flatters my facial features. I always leave the salon satisfied with the quality of service. I have also received two pedicures there and have liked them, especially for the price and the time and effort the pedicurists put into their work. You do not need to call ahead if you want your brows threaded, but I recommend that you call ahead if you want a pedicure. The ambience is simple and almost hole in the wall--it's not the kind of place where you want to linger for too long. I've never experienced issues with cleanliness. One caveat: the thread used during the threading process tends to be on the thicker side. This sometimes causes small cuts that heal in a day or so. I use tretinoin (though I do not use it the day before and the day of threading) and have thick brows, which could perhaps be contributing to the cuts. Overall, I highly recommend the threading services at Jasmin's, especially when they are offered by Jasmin herself!

Absolutely the worst experience…read more I'm visiting from Washington, DC, and needed a fill for my Gel-X nails. I think that's where things went wrong and it appears that my request got completely lost in translation. As it became clear that Mike wasn't familiar with what I was asking for, I tried explaining exactly what needed to be done. Instead of listening, he cut me off and insisted that what I was requesting was incorrect. Clearly, it wasn't, because later that same evening THREE of my nails broke completely off. And no, these were not press-on nails. I called the next morning since the salon was already closed when the nails broke. I spoke with a very pleasant young lady named Jenny who apologized and explained that Mike had been feeling ill and that I was his last customer before he left. Unfortunately, that explanation matched the quality of the work--it felt rushed and careless. She invited me back to have the nails repaired. When I returned on Tuesday, Kim started working on my nails, but then Nancy took over. Keep in mind, this was only a three-nail repair. During the service, Nancy repeatedly stopped to take phone calls. Then, when two other customers came in who appeared to be regulars, she left me sitting there to assist them instead. Nothing says "your time doesn't matter" quite like being abandoned mid-service while someone else is helped. The lack of professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service was disappointing from start to finish. If you have another option, take it.

Her licenses are displayed so you know she's had actual training and isn't working under someone's license. It begins with her thoroughly checking your feet to recommend visiting a doctor if you have abnormalities. I have to have a biopsy on a "mole" that nobody pointed out ever and I've gone to some of the more "upscale" nail shops. It's been there for years! My dermatologist wanted to know why I never showed it to her in all these years. Not one ever mentioned it, until Michelle. The space is small, within Sola Salon. It is well appointed. You will need to sit in a regular chair but the environment was quite relaxing. She first files the nails before cutting. She told me it reduces the chance of a nail splitting. She uses disposable everything, even a nail brush. She takes her time so expect your pedicure and manicure to last longer. I got the rose petal pedicure and it was wonderful. I got a manicure, and my nails feel strong and not one has broken. I never liked the manicures at the omni-present nail shops and my nails always cracked or broke afterwards. She does acrylic and no chip also. Paying was touchless with the option of Zelle or Cashapp. Traditional methods are also accepted.

She seemed almost annoyed that she had to work. The quality was also poor. She didn't remove my cuticles or apply any lotion afterwards. I also had to ask her to use the UV light to set my nails just by virtue of having that done in the past. It was as if I somehow knew better than her because she for some reason put a normal top coat and didn't set the nails. They chipped the SAME DAY. Maybe it was the person working that day, but due to the small setting and weird set up, I do not recommend this place. You're better off getting fake nail stick ons and going somewhere else.

I have never gotten a pedicure before, but ended up tagging along with some friends who wanted to go. This was a very spacious salon and it felt like it was busy, but not too busy on a Friday afternoon. We all decided to get the Spring Romance Package and I'm not sure if we got everything listed (it said there was a tea, but I honestly couldn't tell if that was actually a drink or what the soak was called, lol). My friends and I agreed that I probably had the best experience out of everyone, so it really can vary depending on who is working. I believe my techs name was Johnny and he was great. One of my friends asked specifically to not get the scrub since she doesn't like them, but her tech ended up giving her the scrub and not another step of the treatment which she was bothered by. My friend who gets pedicures fairly often said that these were some of the best massage chairs he's ever experienced. One thing that isn't clear before going is that you can't add a tip if paying with card, so bring some cash to tip. They do have an ATM inside the salon, but I imagine there are services fees involved with that as well. Salon visits aren't really a thing I have worked into my budget, but I think if I wasn't able to take care of my feet and I could get the same tech, I would probably go here again. I loved the color that I picked and it makes me happy to see it on my toes!

Very convenient location with reasonable pricing. If you are in the Chicago area and want some fantastic nails, I highly recommend ML Nails.
