Paul Aveda Salon is my go-to spot, hands down. They seriously know what they're doing here. Every time I get a base touch-up or refresh my balayage, I walk out feeling like a whole new person -- and the compliments don't stop. I'm talking everywhere... even at the gym Geta is the BEST. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she makes the whole experience so fun and relaxing. It's basically therapy at this point ...catching up on mom life while sipping tea and getting my hair done? Say less. Consistent results, great vibes, and a team that truly delivers. My ride-or-die salon ‍ read more

I've been seeing Tiffany on and off since around 2016, and she consistently does an excellent job with both cuts and styling. During my most recent appointment, she worked wonders on my highly damaged hair with a great cut, along with shampoo and conditioning treatments that left my hair feeling much healthier. I also had a root touch-up and highlights done, and the results were fabulous. I was so happy with the outcome that I booked my next appointment before leaving the salon. The quality of Tiffany's work and the overall service at Paul Joseph Salon have kept me coming back for years. I've even brought my daughter in for services and will continue to do so. Highly recommended! read more

I love getting my haircut here with Paul. He always makes me feel like a movie star when I leave. The setting is comfortable and the vibe is friendly. It's the first salon I recommend to my pals and I'll be a customer for life. Thanks Paul, and staff for always keeping it professional and maintaining high standards. You are the best! read more

I had my hair done yesterday by a stylist named Sam. A highlight and extension install. She did AMAZING! seamless blend from my hair to my 20" extensions. She was precise with everything she did, and she is really fun to talk to. The salon was clean, calm, and good environment. I can tell this salon has a good team! highly recommend if you're looking for great quality products, well trained stylists, and a great atmosphere. I Will be returning read more

If you are looking for a stylist who listens to you and is great at her craft, see Georgina at Paul Joseph Salon. She is consistently good. I see her for color, highlights and cuts and have never been disappointed. You won't be either. Plus she's just a great person. read more

I used to live in Oak Park 21 years ago and still go out there to see my stylist for my cut and color. But, I come to Paul Joseph for the occasional Blow Out and all my Aveda needs ( make up , skincare and hair care). I love this place! The salon is swanky , yet affordable and everyone is so warm and welcoming. I see various stylists Aymee, Lily, & Jasmine (whoever has openings) and they are all AWESOME with their own unique style. What are u waiting for? Book an appointment and see for yourself! read more

Another great experience with KASEY who always is true professional and is very knowledgeable and cares about how you are feeling when your haircut, color, or just a blowout is complete. Kasey provides the 360 degree experience from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave and her warm, sensitive personality always shines through as she gives her utmost personal attention to each of her clients. Thank You Kasey! read more

i have been going to this salon for a couple years. spent a lot of money on color and extensions 6 weeks ago tiffany did my hair. the color was so good and the cut. i went back the other day. she was rude seemed upset i did t want to buy product. i asked for my hair to be lighter. she did a base and never came back to do foils. she ignored me and worked on another client. i asked the lady who shampoo about my foils but she did not speak english my hair is horrible dark. and tiffany is a little scary. i won't be back. read more

While this is not a inexpensive salon, I continue to get outstanding hair color and cuts from Paul. Clients are spoiled while they visit.

Horrible costumer service. They charge money for rescheduling the appointment and later cancel on you just because they don't feel like performing the service. Won't ever be going back there again! read more

I called them after 2 years to schedule an appointment to find out they cannot make an appointment for me. They refused to provide me the reason and said the owner would call me but I still haven't heard from them and it's been over 2 weeks. My last visit I provided feedback on my experience directly to them stating my dissatisfaction with my service. They never got back to me and I have no intention of returning to this place where they discriminate customers based on providing a negative review. However I have a right to know why I was denied service. read more

I went to the salon to get a full highlight and haircut. first of all I get there and the girl tells me she can't even do a full highlights or she needs to give me a partial after I communicated that prior to my appointment. I asked for golden highlights.!! I ended up getting over-processed ash highlights!! The haircut look like I got a mullet short in the front and super long in the back. I had to go somewhere else while I was travelling to get it cut.. my hair is so dry overprocess and it's been falling out. I've been in tears from this... please don't waste your time along with that they overcharge and have poor customer service. read more

I went here one day to fix a bummer of a haircut I had gotten previously. The gal did improve the cut, but she didn't do as great of a job that I'd hoped and spent more time selling me their products and explaining hair basics to me than I would've liked. When I changed my mind about some of the products and went to return them a few days later, the lady at the counter told me they can't do a full return and to take them to the Oak Brook store to do so. When I went to Oak Brook they couldn't understand why I was referred there since they couldn't take the return either. I suspect the Naperville location was protecting their commission and just acted like they couldn't take the return. Oak Brook told me to call corporate so I will. Overall nice place, but overpriced for the service you receive, and don't expect to get any help with returns! read more

Had an okay experience at best. Went in for a blow dry/style and brought my teen daughter in for the same service. They couldn't get us in together, which was totally fine. The receptionists weren't particularly helpful (it was our first time there but they didn't offer to hang up our coats or show us where to hang them, didn't explain where the waiting area was). My daughter went first and had a good experience, which was great. My stylist was running late so someone else shampooed my hair; I was surprised they didn't offer any of the relaxation techniques that Aveda salons usually offer (scalp or hand massage etc). My stylist spent most of her time complaining about customers who cancel ("when we don't work, we don't eat.") or telling me my hair didn't "feel" like Aveda hair, which made no sense. My blowout was marginal, at best. Waste of time and money. I don't recommend. There are better salons out there. read more

GM. I am not all happy with Paul joseph salon service at all. What type of highlights are done not even visible. Very bad . Your salon highlights fees are market price but don't even know to to do it. I will never come to your salon will never refer anyone. Waste of my money. Sorry to say hair stylists only talks but does know how to do highlights and color As per the customer.I don't recommend This salon. read more

Really nice salon, great location. All staff is very welcoming and friendly. Thank you, Yenitzi, for a really nice cut. Yenitzi was so sweet and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional stylist. 100% coming back! read more

This review is long overdue. Taylor has been coloring and styling my hair for a little over half a year now, and I refuse to let anyone else touch my hair ever again! Besides the fact that she knows exactly what I want before I even know myself, she genuinely cares about her clients. I first came to her for my Vomor extensions upkeep, and never once did she try to convince me to do more than I absolutely needed. Many hairstylists I've seen before always tried to persuade me into spending more money on services I really did not need, but Taylor truly only cares about making her clients happy. Every time I leave Paul Joseph, I stare at my hair in love the rest of the day. I couldn't recommend Taylor more--she's SO talented and truly a great person behind the chair! read more

Tiffany has done my hair for as long as I can remember and she always does such a nice job. I followed her to this salon and it just may be the nicest salon I've been in. Also my impulse to get my brows done was definitely a great idea! The girl who did them was so sweet. read more

I'm so in love with my haircut and blowout/flatiron by the AMAZINGLY talented YENITZI at Paul Joseph Salon Naperville!! I look forward to every single visit with her, because she's such a sweet and kind person. She has me looking beautiful every time and truly knows her art. I'm mixed (Black and Filipino) and my hair is extremely coarse, kinky and curly. I wear my hair natural and straight depending on my mood. Yenitzi has me looking polished and sleek when I leave the salon. It's been so hard for me to find a stylist who understands my hair texture and from the moment she did my first blowout/flatiron and cut I knew she was my girl! Thank you again Yenitzi for making me look like a million bucks! I highly recommend her for all hair types! You'll thank me later!! read more

Paul Joseph Salon - Haircut by Yenitzi at Paul Joseph Salon Naperville - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I always find my way back to this salon and Tiffany! Appointments are easy to make and the staff is very welcoming. The salon has a great ambiance and is very comfortable. They use professional Aveda hair products and share knowledge with you on how best to care for your hair. If you are looking for a change in your hair or a change in your stylist I would highly recommend booking an appointment or consult with Tiffany. She is truly a master at her craft and is always learning the best ways to color and cut. When I see her, she hand paints my hair to make the color blend in with the roots so that when it grows out it's not choppy and obvious, which is something I have experienced when I ask for highlights at other salons. She knows her way around blonde hair and face shaping. Tiffany really takes the time at the beginning of the appointment to go over what you want to do and what you want the end product to be. I think this is a very important step that other stylists tend to rush. Through the appointment she is also a treat to talk to and is super outgoing and welcoming to all. If you want to see more of her work her Instagram is "hairdeux" read more

On the drop of a dime, I decided to cut my shoulder length hair and go damn near platinum! I called and 30 minutes later Cortnie took on the challenge and killed it! I have honestly never felt more assured In my life that I was in the best of hands! she gave me all the info I need to care for it and I could not be any happier what so ever!! She killed killed killed it and I'm a fanboy for life!! Ask for Cortnie!! read more

I am extremely happy with my Stylist, and her service. She's AMAZING! I am extremely disappointed with how the salon communicates with clients. I booked an appointment and I had to cancel after the 24 hour policy, I was billed for a cancellation fee (which I understand) but I was told I would receive a credit since I rescheduled my appointment. After my appointment, and as I was checking out, the price of the service was increased with the amount of the credit, without prior notice. The reason given, "well, that's what happens when the stylist gets more requests. Her prices are increased". It would have been nice to know about the price increase as I was checking in, that's all. I felt deceived and taken advantage of. I will miss my stylist, time to move on.. read more

This was my first time visiting the Paul Joseph salon and my experience was amazing. The front desk receptionist was so sweet and professional from the moment I walked in. Tiffany is an insanely good hairstylist and not only do I love my haircut, but she really took the time to understand my hair preferences and struggles. I loved my experience here and have found my stylist!! read more

Worst salon experience ever. I made appointment for a trim and to style my fine shoulder length hair into beachy waves. ASK TO SEE PRICE LIST FIRST!!!!!!!!!! I had a nice girl do my hair that told me she had only been out of beauty school for 8 months and that she was 20 years old. No big deal. Not a Senior stylist, but I just wanted a trim and to have my hair look nice for my first day on a new job. They charged me $90!!!! For a cut and style! Seriously? I'm from SF and that's extremely high for the city (usually $65 and flat ironing curls is part of the cut.) I paid and then went to my car to look at the price list she handed me on the way out. Haircuts are supposed to be $40. I called 5 min after I walked out the door and spoke to the receptionist asking why I was charged more than double. She said haircuts only include blowout and I got flat iron waves put into my hair. Well, that's an extra $50? She literally spent 10 minutes on it. I asked her to clarify pricing and she couldn't. She told me her manager would call me the next day. Well, that's my first day on a new job so no, I don't want to deal with disputing why you charged me $50 to flat iron waves into my hair and it should have been included in trim. I feel ripped off, and my hair was just ok. I feel like I could have achieved the same look at home saving $90. Terrible customer service and no transparency on arbitrary pricing. Go elsewhere.... read more

I drive all the way from Barrington to get my hair done by YENI. She is amazing! I love the Brazilian Blowout - it lasts 6 months on my hair. I was also a redhead but now I'm a blonde thanks to her. I get compliments all the time on my hair and it's entirely due to her! She's the best hair stylist and a pleasure to be with as well. Can't say enough good things about her! read more

The first two times I used this salon I was so happy. Brittany cut and styled my hair. I think I had the best cuts I had ever had. When I called to set up my next appointment I was told she had quit and I was set up with another senior stylist. Such disappointment. I almost feel I could have gone to great clips and received a better cut. I am debating whether or not if I should give her another chance. On July 21st, I had an appointment with another stylist, Kayla. It was so evident that she enjoys her job. I was so happy with her and her effort to make sure I liked my cut. I set up a return appointment with her. read more

Love this salon! Such great service and atmosphere. I am very happy with my hair every time I go. Highly recommend!

Best place I have been to in the Chicagoland area by far!! I have been getting my hair done for over 20 years. I never met a hairdresser like Caleb. He was personable, funny, yet very professional and polished. He is a gem !! A very hard find these days in this industry. My hair looked and felt like silk after he was finished. He listened to me and was very attentive. I was very, very happy with him and this salon. All the staff was nice and the salon is beautiful. I highly recommend this place and Caleb!! He is a very talented stylist and colorist. My color turned out gorgeous !! I honestly felt like a million bucks leaving that place!! read more

I have been going here for over a year to the same stylist. This last time she did the color and it looked great. When it came to the cut and we discussed face framing and a trim up of the layers. I have very long hair. Without asking she started thinning out my hair. I should have told her to stop as soon as I noticed the 8 inch long sections of hair on the floor, but she said i would get more volume and the hair that was cut would not be noticeable. I notice. I went from having beautiful full hair to hair that looks like I have an illness causing my hair to thin. It no longer goes in a bun nicely. I have so many uneven layers. It is so staticky and frizzy. It will take me years to grow my hair back out to where it was. I left a message with how upset I was with the cut. They had the young receptionist call me back. Couldn't even have a stylist call me. I will never come back here. I just don't know why someone would cut so much hair off without consent. She had been great up until then. They offered to look at my hair and have a stylist give recommendations. I declined. Unless they were going to put in extensions, there is nothing that can be done. read more

I am so grateful that I found this beautiful salon near my home. After a free consultation with the owner Paul Joseph himself, I made an appointment with him after over a decade of going to someone else. I was used to Redken products to color my hair. I have always loved Aveda products and was curious to see how the coloring treatment would work. Weeks later, I can't believe how great the color and cut is. I can't wait to go back. My hair is soft and healthy and beautiful. I highly recommend this salon. Plus, they have fully stocked Aveda products, including my favorites--candles! Thank you, Paul and your wonderful staff. read more

The moment I walked in the door, I was greeted like I was their best friend! I didn't have an appointment, but just needed a trim. They were more than happy to get me in for a trim, and offered me a wide range of refreshments. They took my jacket and scarf for me and personally introduced me to my stylist. My stylist, Gabrielle, was incredible. She listened to what I wanted, confirmed how much she was going to take off and explained why, and made sure I was okay with it all. Gabrielle was very personable and easy to talk to as well! As she was styling my hair, she used a wide variety of products that my hair actually needed. When she was all done, my hair looked exactly like she had explained to me. I'm so used to having too much taken off, especially when I go in for a trim, but she took off exactly how much she told me. I am beyond happy with this salon and all of the staff I encountered. I would recommend this salon to everyone! read more

I have had horrible experiences in the past with getting my hair colored. I decided to try Paul Josephs on a whim. They booked me with Kiana. Not only did she color my hair as I desired but when she encountered difficulty getting my toner right thee more stylists (including the owner) came over to help her. The end result was better than I hoped for. She was honest with me about a bit of damage to my hair (I expected some) and advised me what to do to care for it. In addition, I rarely get my haircut the way I want when I work with a new stylist. She not only cut my hair just as I wanted but also gave me some very useful tips on what I could do to get the same look at home. Thank you Kiana and all the staff at Paul Josephs. read more

I made an appt with Tiffany for a haircut through groupon, not only was the salon beautiful but I had the most amazing experience with her. I was educated how to take care of my hair and she went above and beyond for me. I felt pampered and felt like she truly cared about me. My hair looks amazing and I will be back. read more

I was looking for a new salon and made an appointment here because I had a gift certificate for a free haircut. I called and made an appointment with Taylor. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and I was able to get in same day. I had a haircut and color done. I am very happy with both. Taylor spent time in our consultation making sure she understood exactly what I wanted and delivered as well. The salon itself was very clean and comfortable. The retail area was neat and clean. I will be back for sure. It's very close to my house so that is a bonus. I recommend Taylor. read more

There are a lot of great things to say about Paul Joseph Salon - friendly staff, great hand massages, Aveda products, and overall quality service. However, none of this makes rudeness acceptable, particularly on the part of the owner. While I left happy after a $150+ full set of 'bright blonde' highlights, I became concerned when people started asking if I'd had lowlights later that day. I may not be the natural blonde I once was, but I expected more than the stripes (pictured) that I found upon further inspection. The manager, Tatiana, was collaborative in response to my concern and suggested Paul would entertain a reasonable reimbursement if I was too uncomfortable to come back and get it fixed. Paul did call me back the next day, but was incredibly rude from the get-go. Instead of focusing on a solution, he quickly made it clear that he'd be happy to lose my business and that he would not entertain the negotiation of a reasonable refund. To be fair, he eventually apologized for his tone, but not without prompting. I'm not sure what kind of customer drama this place has been through to take such an accusatory tone with a first-time client interested in a solution, but I do know that I'll be happy to avoid it moving forward. At the end of the day, Paul's insulting approach was too much to accept his 'complimentary' offer of a 10-minute consultation in light of my trouble/concerns. read more

I love this place! I first discovered it a couple of years ago after moving to the suburbs from the city. I was amazed by the low prices, and of course, at first was a little skeptical, but Ryan has been taking great care of me now for a long time, and I will continue to go see her despite having moved farther away from Naperville. The new location is beautiful and extremely conveniently located. Of course, I am obsessed with Aveda products and the amazing smell of the salon, but what keeps me going back is the outstanding care and service I receive every time. Highly recommend! read more
