I received a call from the salon after my last haircut there, saying that Sabrina was not going to be returning to the salon. It turns out that she got injured, and ended up starting her own business. If you subtract Sabrina and my experiences with her, my experiences with the salon were meh at best. The front desk staff was never really friendly (I got the impression I was bothering them?). It was incredibly frustrating that they didn't take credit cards, and that this wasn't very clear on their website. I went here for Sabrina Tucker. Without her, there wasn't a lot of redeeming aspects of the salon. While waiting for an appointment, I was asked to move so they could take a photo of a different client's hair. It felt weird, and like they should have a designated spot for photos that would require asking waiting clients to move. It honestly made me feel less valuable than the person be photographed (I was asked to move across the room). Also, the more I think about it, the more upset I am that when my partner came in for a men's haircut from Kevin, he left INJURED. That's not OK. I mentioned it to the front desk staff when at my appointment after the last update, and I didn't even get an apology. Not OK. Not OK at all. If you're a fan of Sabrina Tucker and her work, you can find her under my other reviews, as I recently got a cut from her (that I love!). read more

Jasmine did such a wonderful job waxing my eyebrows! She was also very sweet. First time in. Place looked clean . I called and wanted to see if I could just walk in and they had someone there who could do it for me right then. It worked out perfect . The wax felt nice on my skin she said it was lavender chamomile . Did not hurt at all and she only put aloe on after which was what I wanted. I would come back here again... a little pricier for just an eyebrow and upper lip wax but worth it. They not take tips on card must have cash read more

Salon & Spa 700 - Waxing was great! - Hair Salons Near Me - Barrington, Illinois

I had a nightmare last experience at another salon, I had work the next day and I couldn't find anyone to fit me in with a color correction. Salon & Spa 530 was able to fit me in with Terri. Everyone and I mean everyone came to me at the door we went over what had happened and they made me feel like I was in good hands. In a span of two hours Terri preformed a miracle and saved my hair and my confidence. I am ever so great full to have found this amazing business and they will have me as a client for as long as I live here! Out of all of the salons I have been in this one takes place #1. Thank you so much for everything you did. read more

I am such a picky person when it comes to my hair. I have gone to the same girl since I was in fourth grade. My husband's job moved us from KY to IL and I was so nervous about finding a new hair person (crazy I know). I was considering flying back to KY occasionally just because I am THAT picky. I heard about Salon and Spa 530 and decided to give it a try. I am SO THANKFUL that I did. I have never LOVED my hair as much as I did. Next time we move, I'll have to book my flights to IL just because it will break my heart to leave Lisa and Alyssa. So happy that I found them!! read more

My old stylist no longer works so I decided to try Alyssa - I highly recommend her! She is so kind and cut my hair exactly how I wanted. I am so happy with my new hair and will be definitely be going back for her!! read more

The salon is Very clean, the front desk was amazing, the service was amazing, i felt very relaxed! They Recommended products that worked out amazingly for me! Would 10/10 recommend! Everyone was very kind! All of the stylists know what they're doing, I feel comfortable in anyone's chair! read more

So, my hair stylist moved and was no longer doing hair in my area! I reached out to Peyton, and she immediately found a way to squeeze me into her schedule. She has totally transformed my hair! It was starting to get dry, and recently has been so healthy. She is so personable and kind, and the salons environment is relaxing. The staff is so inviting and no one hesitates to help each other out, or ask if you need anything. Peyton does an excellent job, however it is just as nice to be in such a welcoming, positive, and relaxing environment. read more

Extremely poor customer service. I had a 1:45 appointment that I was running late to, which I called and let them know that I was running late, and when I got there at 2:00 they said they couldn't see me. Maybe they should mention on their website they don't allow life to happen to their customers and u must be on time , no exceptions, even if u have the courtesy to let them know ur running late. read more

I've never been but apparently it's $350 for a full set of eyelash extensions. Which is the most I've EVER seen and I'm from Hollywood

This place is beyond fabulous. The atmosphere is high class but the prices are very affordable! Jennifer colored, cut, and styled my hair and it looks so pretty. I feel like a million bucks. My roots are finally covered and the highlights make me feel like a celebrity. Jen was so accommodating and gives great ideas if you're not sure what exactly you want to do with your hair. Request her! You won't be disappointed!!!! read more

So I'm from California and I came to Barrington on vacation and I was looking for a salon to get My hair done. I was scared because I'm not used to getting my hair done other places but I have to say this salon is by far the best salon I have ever been to in my life. Pamela was my stylist and such a great girl to have a conversation with. I felt comfortable and the salon is beautiful. Everyone who works there is awesome! if this salon was in Cali I would totally be a returning client. I recommend this salon to anyone and if I could give this salon more stars than 5 I would. Thank you for an amazing experience and if I ever come back I will totally will be going to this place!!! Thanks again I couldn't be happier with my hair. Now I'm ready to hit the town looking all fierce thanks to Pamela. :) read more

Jennifer is excellent, I'm new to the area and love my blonde. I had a feeling it would be tricky for me to find a replacement stylist without a few strike-outs but I hit a home run with this place. She's detailed, lovely to chat with and never rushes. The salon itself is nice, spacious and has several services to pick from. I haven't participated but I see massage, nails, spray tan and more. The hair is what I've done but am suddenly considering more ;) read more

I have been going to see Leilanee DePaz for 10 years now! She never falls short of what I ask for when it comes to my hair. She knows my hair, the texture, what works and what doesn't. I've given suggestions of what I look for sometimes unsure of what I really want. Then like the hair magician she is, she gives me the PERFECT cut and color EVERY TIME! She just knows exactly what I want! I highly highly HIGHLY recommend her for your hair needs. She really knows what she's doing and you will walk out feeling like a billion dollars. read more

I was so impressed with both Jennifer, hair stylist, and Kimberly, esthetician! They were both experts in their fields and gave me so many helpful tips and tricks. Both were down to earth and so easy to chit chat with too! I found the prices to be very reasonable and the atmosphere classy and stylish. I am so grateful that I found a new salon that was so enjoyable! read more

My hair experience was with Vanessa. Super great hair stylist & very friendly. Listens to you & hears your needs. First visit I was given $10 off. Love the perk! I'm definitely a return customer! read more

I just moved around Hoffman Estates and had no idea where to get my hair done. I have really bleached blonde hair and was looking for more natural/less maintenance. Liza and Vanessa were awesome! I'm so happy I decided to go to Salon and Spa 530! They were so accommodating and understanding when I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted done and of course my hair came out looking beautiful. I can't wait to come back! read more

I had an appointment back in January with Sabrina Tucker. I got a haircut and a balayage treatment. This was my second time getting hair color and now that it's been five months, I was definitely more satisfied with this than my first place. Definitely making this my go to location and can't wait to come back for a summer cut! Not only is Sabrina great at what she does but she also makes you feel so comfortable with wherever the conversation goes. Truly loved my experience! read more

Jennifer did my hair Saturday and I couldn't be happier with the results! My hair is naturally super curly and frizzy (as shown in the first pic) and Jennifer was able to completely transform my hair for prom! read more

I'm very happy with the men's cut I got with Alyssa. Nice place, talented stylists. Recommended!

I had an appointment earlier today, and this was my very first time visiting Salon and Spa 530. The salon was also very clean and beautiful. Everyone I talked to was extremely pleasant as well. I got a haircut, all over color, and blow dry from Vanessa. Vanessa did an amazing job! Vanessa had couple suggestions on my haircut, and I'm glad that I took them because my hair turned out beautiful!! For color, I showed her couple pictures so that I can get somewhat similar color. Vanessa was spot on, and I love my new hair color!! I went to an event right afterwards and received many complements :) I will be making another appointment soon for my little girl, and I will be going back to try out other services too! read more

I went to Kelly to get a full head of highlights and a cut after I box-dyed my hair brown and wanted to go back. I showed her a few pictures of my hair color pre-brunette and her color-wonder eyes knew the EXACT color to mix. My hair looked the exact same in color and cut as I had it before the brown. I was VERY, VERY happy. The cut actually looked better and the highlight color they use doesn't seem to strip your hair. At other salons, even a touch up on my roots would make my hair shed in large quantities for days afterwards but none with this salon. I will definitely be returning soon for a touch up. Good tip to know is that tips are by cash or check only. Didn't know that before the appointment and luckily had one check on me. read more

This is the epitome of perfection! Gorgeous interior, Talented friendly staff, and best customer service I have ever experienced. My hair has never looked or felt better thanks to Liza's expertise. Smiles and good will are infectious! Beautiful, happy place to be. #bestsalonever! read more

This as my first visit. I was greeted warmly, given a tour of this beautiful salon and had a fantastic facial with Chris. I even received a discount as a new client. I highly recommend this sslon and Chris. read more

I've just been told three times in an hour that I look amazing, Alyssa you rock, thank you for the beautiful new cut and color!!

Liza has been doing my hair for many years. She's a fantastic stylist. I drive all the way from downtown Chicago because she's the only one who cuts my curly hair properly. In fact, I have so much confidence in her abilities, we flew her to Sarasota to do the bride's hair at a family wedding. Her work was stunning. Her new salon is fantastic. It's a light and airy contemporary space. A refreshing departure from the usual bland suburban salons. During the grand opening, Liza gave us a tour. They have the usual mani/pedi service, but also a facial room, a spray tan room and offer I-Lipo treatments. Parking is super convenient in the shopping center with Heinen's. read more

Liza is fantastic! She did my hair for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. I only had an idea of what I wanted and one picture for her to go on and she ran with it. It turned out amazing! I got many compliments on my hair that day. I had very long, curly hair at the time and it was an intricate process. She expertly placed every single strand and curl and loop and the result was more than I could have hoped for. She also did my mom's hair which is quite different from mine (short, fine). My mom's hair never looked better! She is so friendly and outgoing she definitely put my mind at ease. I couldn't have been in more capable hands. read more

Horrible experience for my daughter today who had an appointment with Pam for a blowout. She left in tears and felt insulted when Pam kept telling her she needs a haircut as she was consistently pulling on her hair. We will definitely not be going back & will be sure to share this experience with others. read more

Best salon in Barrington. I have been going to Liza for about 8 years now and will not go to anyone else.. she is the only one who understands my hair! So naturally I followed her to the new spot - it's beautiful! so clean, chic & modern. Everyone on staff is so friendly and SO good at what they do. Fully worth it. read more

This salon and spa is amazing! The minute you walk in you are welcomed with a smiling receptionist! The place itself looks very chic and clean! I get my nails and eyebrows done by Shahla and she is so great! There's a lot of nail places but this is by far my favorite and I don't plan on going anywhere else! read more

After having been with my previous color/hairstylist for several years, my former hairstylist left the salon I used to go to. I decided to try Salon and Spa 530 and what a gem I found. My Hairstylist, Pamela Stachowski was amazing. I am almost 50 years old and to-date, I have never had my hair color turn out as nice as it did today. Not brassy, subtle and stylish. So happy to have found a new salon. I will be back to have my hair done again by Pamela, read more

I went to Salon and Spa 530 for my wedding hair, make-up and nails. Firstly, the salon is amazing and so well kept up! I had Natasha for my up-do (and color/cut a few days before the wedding). She is SO creative and definitely helped pull my hair vision together. I had Diana for my makeup, she did an absolutely amazing job. I chose to use the airbrush makeup which lasted all day and looked so natural. My 2 MOH's and mother also received hair and makeup services for my big day, everyone was very very pleased. I worked with Sabrina (who is AWESOME!) to schedule all of our services, from trials, to color/cut, nails and day of looks for me and all of the girls. She was so great to work with. The day of the wedding, we were greeted with donuts, a fruit tray and mimosa's for snacking while we were being pampered. If you are looking for a great group of girls to help with your wedding dreams, go to Salon and Spa 530!!! read more

The salon is beautiful, but the staff is what makes the place. Jen is amazing. She is always happy and up-beat, on top of that shes the best for cut and or color! I have been using her for about a year now, and during that time I decided to go from blonde, to red, to brown and then back to blonde! Ha! Jen not only mastered all of this, every time she made it look amazing. I value her because she is honest. She explained to me the process of changing colors so rapidly, and she made sure I did not do something to permanently damage my hair. She will forever be my girl, salon 530, you have a lifetime customer now! read more

Meredith has been doing my eyelash extensions for a couple of years. She is fantastic, very gentle and personable. My lashes look amazing & i get compliments all the time. Don't need to wear mascara anymore. Full lush lashes are a huge confidence booster. read more

Love the atmosphere and Jennifer has been the best hair stylist I've ever had. She listens to my wants and explains why it may not work with my hair! She is amazing at what she does and I highly recommend her! I don't live local but will make the drive because I can trust her to make me feel great! Thanks for all your amazing work Jennifer!!! read more

The most amazing experience! We had our hair and makeup done here for my wedding. I have never felt more beautiful in my life! Jennifer did my hair and she took her time and made everything perfect. Pamela did my makeup and it was flawless! All of the staff are so attentive, friendly, and still professional. Everyone in my bridal party commented on how wonderful it was. Sabrina is the bridal coordinator and she is fantastic. Took care of everything and made the process easy and worry free. The owner takes a lot of pride in her business and you can tell everyone there loves what they do and genuinely cares about their clients. read more

I found Kevin Kenny several years ago and boy am I happy I did!!! Always a great haircut...it's magic what he can do with scissors!

Shahla does great brow threading. She is personable and very professional. I stopped in on a busy Friday, and this place is close to my work; and luckily for me there was a gap of a few minutes and she could take me. It was very nice. As a first-time client, I appreciated that she did that. I will be back for sure as it is hard to find threading in the Northwest Burbs. She also does brow tinting, and I will probably be back for that, too. Very reasonable price for brow threading. Thanks, Shahla and Salon 530, for being in the right place at the right time for me. read more

Sabrina is AWESOME!!! This was my first time going there and booking with Sabrina. She was great to work with on picking the right hair color and cut. She was so fun to talk to and kept me smiling the whole time until she made me cry. Tears of happiness. I was overwhelmed with the outcome and so happy I went there. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. The salon was very clean and furnished nicely. They offer so many services. Don't hesitate to go there and ask for Sabrina! read more

I treated myself to a full day of pampering for my birthday. I started with spa services that included a facial that made my face glow for weeks, a massage with Allison which was absolutley perfect, and finished with a cut and color. My hair was bouncy, shiny, and full of life. I left feeling like I could take on the world. The salon is chic and trendy but not snooty. I love, love, love this place. I had no idea they also offer spray tanning! I'll definitely schedule that during my next visit as well. Thanks, Salon 530, for a great day! read more
