I redeemed a LivingSocial voucher here over the weekend -- half price for an hour-long facial. The biggest complaint I have is that I feel ripped off. I paid for a voucher that promised an hour-long facial, but instead was given a 30 minute facial. In other words, I wound up paying full price for a half-facial. I was very disappointed. And, of course, what can you do about it -- by the time I realize it's only been 30 minutes, my clothes were already back on, I was at the front desk settling up, and I took a glance at my watch to see about getting to my next appointment on time. The aesthetician had good technique while working with my face. She really did -- nice movements that were both gentle and confident. But her extraction was incomplete; when I got to a mirror, I noticed that there was still much work to be done. Also, the overall price is a bit high, given the neighborhood, the location, and the quality of the space itself. This is not a "relaxing" day spa. You will spend the entire time hearing the blow dryers of the hair stations, right outside the door. You can also hear the in-store radio and all the chatter. Again, I could have overlooked all of that if they hadn't deprived me of half of the service I had requested. I am very disappointed that they participated in this LivingSocial offer, presumably to drum up business, and then only offered half of what they promised. read more

Because of the good reviews I saw on Yelp, I decided to get a manicure here. Sadly, it was the worst manicure I've ever had. The cuticles look fine, but the polish is streaky, splotchy, incomplete on some nails, and all over my cuticles. Trying to avoid all of those things is why I get manicures. :-/ Their other services sound great, but I won't do a manicure here again. read more

If you're a guy who deals with his eyebrow situation regularly (and really, you should be), ask for Yolanda @ Le Salon Day Spa. She's amazing with mens' brows, never adding an odd arch, always tidying up where it needs to be, and leaving you cleaned up and natural. She's also given me a pedicure and it was wonderful. Overall, the whole staff at Le Salon is wonderful and the whole place is clean clean CLEAN. And the fact that they'll take a walk-in is always convenient. Love this place! read more

My first visit to Le Salon and spa was wonderful. It was several years ago, and I decided to have a back facial. I had a wonderful experience, and the cost of the service was very reasonable. What impressed me so, was the salon was very clean and I felt very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. I have gone there several times for shampoo and blow drive services, including a hair cut, and have not been disappointed. Claudia always takes such good care of my hair, and she is the best stylist I've had in Chicago. I would recommend both her and this wonderful place. A full days beauty at Le Salon and spa is a treat. Why spend the extra money downtown or on Michigan avenue, if you don't have to, and receive the same services? The owner, Lori, is always so nice.

I am a regular at the nail place by my house and this spot is a short bus trip away. When I saw a daily deal, I decided to give it a shot. They do excellent work here..probably one of the best pedicures I've ever had! My feet still look and feel amazing and I'm already almost 2 weeks in. The manicure was also very good. If this place was a bit closer to me, I'd be a regular for sure. read more

Hate to ruin all the 5 star ratings, but I went here for a massage as well as a pedicure/manicure. The massage was just fine, a little bit on the rougher side, but I did ask for a deep tissue massage, so I was pleased with it and felt like she got a lot of the knots out. However, my nails were a different story. I did not feel very welcomed by the nail technician, as she made me feel like I was delaying the start of her weekend. I was the last customer for the evening and for some reason the appointment went past closing time. She kept looking outside and seemed to rush a bit as she was cutting my cuticles. Now I have 2 infected cuticles because she cut too deep. She also overestimated how much nail polish she had left of the color I wanted and I had to pick a new color I didn't really want for my fingernails. I was going to a wedding the next day and was trying to match everything up for a particular dress I'd been planning on wearing. I never splurge on things like this so I was disappointed. And this was my first manicure ever :( In Le Salon's defense, the nails looked professional and she did do a nice job on them, except for the cuticles. But I will still probably go back to doing my own fingernails. Maybe this was just a random occurence in Le Salon, but I probably will not be returning. read more

I love this salon. Lori is amazing and she provides such wonderful customer service. I see her for facials about once a month and she always does a great job. The massage during the facial is amazing and she takes her time with the extractions. I've also had my nails and hair done here and I've never been disappointed. It's a simple and smaller place, nothing fancy. But it's nice and the people are nice and the price is right and that has me coming back every time. read more

This was the worst pedicure and manicure I have ever had. My technician was rough, careless, pushed my cuticles too far back, left tiny cuts on my toes and fingers and the polish was blotchy. She left several times during my pedicure to answer the phone (since the receptionist oddly disappeared shortly after I arrived) and was rude to me when there was a miscommunication between her and the receptionist regarding the charge for my pedi/mani. I don't write a lot of reviews, but boy was I bummed to shovel out money for something my 3 year old could have done better. read more

Never again, I went to Le Salon once for a facial. It was okay....just okay. But the aesthetician was the only staff member working, which made me a little uncomfortable. She was rough and very rude, but I dismissed it as (perhaps) cultural differences. So I needed a facial again and stupid me calls them. They promise a coupon special of $40 for a one hour facial. Okay, so I will give them a second chance. I tell her I also need a mani/pedi and she says "no problem" and schedules my appointment. When I arrive to the appointment the salon is very busy and very loud...not a problem, but the massage/facial rooms are RIGHT THERE in the middle of the chaos....not relaxing at all. Then she tells me they are too busy for my mani/pedi...after I had just made appointment for all three services!!! I cancelled my facial and left! Never again! read more

I have had my hair done by Bill for three years and have never been anything but happy with him. His recent movement to this Edgewater salon is only a benefit, the prices are extremely reasonable and the staff are professional and helpful. I highly recommend Bill for your color, he is the expert. read more

Tried Le Salon for a pedicure for the first time today based on the good reviews. Yolanda did an excellent job and was very pleasant. I like the look of the salon - clean, small but very comfy. I will definitely be going back. read more

Super nice staff! Very friendly and quick! It's always nice have a great pedicure and getting in and out in a timely manor.

Best mani/pedi I've ever had. My nails looked great and stayed chip-free for weeks!

I went to Le Salon for facial 3 times. This place was conveniently located on my way. Every time it was just an okay experience. There wasn't anything special about facial or service. At the same time esthetician did her job. I don't think that I will come back more. read more

Nice lady did facial. 50 dollar which is 70 so I guess It was an ok deal . But yelp gave this 20 off facial deal if check in but long story short They don't honor or take it so it was disappointing read more

Go biweekly for eyebrows and just started getting microdermabrasion treatments; both done by Lori. Always very detailed and very helpful. Seems to genuinely care. read more

Lori does my microdermabrasion. She does an excellent job. And she takes her time. I have had a mani/pedi here. It is okay. But reasonable for the price. I usually visit once a month. Price is reasonable as well. read more

STAY AWAY. Bill of the high reviews here on yelp is no longer there. They "recommend Claudia" instead. Since my hair grows quickly, I figured it was worth a try. That was a mistake. I arrived to a salon empty except for myself, Claudia, and a woman who I think would do nails. Claudia herself was the woman on the phone who recommended that I see Claudia. I should have turned around, but I didn't. I brought in several pictures of myself with the haircut I wanted--a close cropped pixie cut with choppy bangs. I walked out with the under layers of my hair cut close to my head, while the top was long and layered, leaving me looking like a mushroom from the original Mario Brothers. I technically could have asked her to fix it, but since she screwed up that badly and didn't seem to understand what would need to change, I didn't want to see what would happen if I asked her to fix it. If you want to leave with a totally unflattering cut that you didn't want, this is the place to go. If you want a style that doesn't leave you looking shoddy and unlike yourself, go somewhere else! read more

I had a great experience with Elena, the massage therapist. She's a very pleasant, sweet person and makes sure we feel comfortable. She knows what's she is doing and does it well. Totally recommend her services! read more

I went to this salon for a bikini wax and mani/pedi. One woman provided all of my services. She was very sweet and professional but she just didn't do a very good job. She did an okay job on my wax but I would have liked her to be more thorough. I was most disappointed with my pedicure. She just didn't make much of an effort and when she painted my nails she was so sloppy! I go to a salon because I want a better result than I can get at home. That isn't what I got. I intended to have color on my nails too but I just didn't trust her to get it right. It was a bummer. I will not go back. Overall, the salon was clean and comfortable but with poor service it just doesn't matter. read more

I just had the best facial with Lori. I've had tons of facials all over the place, domestically and internationally. She really took care of my skin with a lot of focus on extractions, which many spa staff skip past. It was very quiet and relaxing, and her fluttering touch was great! I was very very happy, and will return. Plus, I had a pedicure and manicure, as well. Those were pretty good, too. All this for $89! Are you kidding me, most facials cost more than that. I thought it was a great deal and I tipped generously. I can't wait to go back for another facial, my skin feels great! read more

After reading the glowing review about the salon, I was so excited and I had to make an appoint to get a haircut with Yolanda. I'm hardly the most demanding person in the world but, after waiting for close to 45 minutes for my appointment, I was knew this was not a good omen. I asked her nicely "did she forget about me?" and she she said "oh no, just busy with a nail client! Looking back at that point I should have excused myself and walked out the door, however, I wanted to give Yolanda the benefit of the doubt. To make a long story short, my inverted bob was much longer on one side than (not what I wanted in my picture) and she even charged me an extra $5.00 for a shampoo? Why do people think you won't say anything if you are treated badly? I certainly wouldn't recommend her to people who want a quality experience. read more

I want to update my review as I don't know why this place isn't packed every minute of the day. This week I went to Le Salon as a walk-in. I got: a pedicure; face/neck wax; eybrow color and tweeze; facial with too many steps to count (mask, dermabrasion, steam, machine which SUCKS debris out of pours, moisture, moisture, moisture) which included a shoulder massage and I paid $115 for all of it! It's my favorite place to be! Lori will also call in a wonderful Thai massage therapist if you give her a day or two. He is a gem! Claudia is great with color and cut and everything you could need, beauty care wise, is right here. The shop, again, is clean and serene and has a great vibe. Can't recommend enough! I'd love to see more people here! read more

This is truly a gem in Edgewater. I come here to get my problematic face under control, and Lori the owner, always accommodates me at last minute requests. This salon has very reasonable pricing, amazing service, from nails, hair to facial. Lori has the lightest hand and makes me fall asleep during facial, she's just amazing. read more

I started going to Le Salon Day Spa in May '13 and have not been disappointed. Claudia is my hair dresser and she does a great haircut! I would recommend this little shop on the strength of Claudia's skill alone. Try it! She also accommodates walk-ins or short notice requests for appointments. read more

Don't try to get a manicure without an appointment. It's quite a small business and the doors will be locked. They currently have no manicurist. Owner was very nice; just know this is a spa by appointment. read more

Today I had a facial, body massage and hair shampoo/style at Le Salon. From the moment I walked in, I was treated by the pleasant staff and owner Lori who was very professional and nice. First, I had my massage and it was great! Jim did a great job with the massage techniques he used. I felt that all the tension I had in my back was gone when the massage was done. Then it was time for the facial. This was one of the BEST facials I had in a long time. My skin was glowing when the facial was done. The product used smelled really good and my face felt clean and soft. Then I moved on to shampoo and style which was awesome...I had my friends compliment me on my hair the whole day! Le Salon is very clean and I felt very comfortable being there. I bought gift certificate for my mom and I cannot wait to go back again. I highly recommend Le Salon. Ask for Lori and monthly specials they have, prices are great and service is wonderful! read more

They fit me in last minute, which was great, but the overall quality was pretty average.

I went here with two friends with a Groupon for a mani-pedi. Two women worked on the three of us and we all agreed that it was one of the best mani-pedis that we've had, especially the pedi. Our feet felt absolutely amazing and looked great too. Definitely going back soon. read more
