I was really adamant about making a drastic change in my hairstyle. Including perming it. At the same time, I was a bit apprehensive. My hair is stick straight and hasn't been short in maybe 15 years. Brandy, who did my hair that day, put me to ease and made it look exactly how I wanted it. I am so happy with how it turned out. The environment was super positive. read more

Salon Gia - Before - Nail Salons Near Me - Island Lake, Illinois

I pulled up to the salon and was happy to see "Walk-In's Welcome". Anna had time and took me between a coming appointment. I am 74 and wanted a contemporary look. I had been growing out a very short cut and my hair had been falling out more than usual. To say the least, I was a mess. Anna seemed to connect immediately and talked me through her plan. She is extremely talented and my results were nothing short of wonderful. I highly recommend her and this salon. Everyone was friendly and professional. read more

Didn't care for my brow was I got there... nothing against the place. Just didn't care for my eyebrows

I reached out to Anna at salon Gia about a year ago now and have been doing consistent 6-8 week hair trims and conditioning treatments and trying different products together as my hair DRASTICALLY changed. Still to this day I have no idea why my hair puffed out so bad but I do know I felt very ugly and defeated. I had spent so much money and time before meeting Anna. I visited 2 other salons that just heard I wanted to dye my hair more then I wanted to fix my hair health so I accidentally let them as I didn't know that lighting my hair 2-3 times a year would over process my hair. I still want my hair lighter but Anna is a real MVP and refuses to lighten it till we get it healthy again. She could have easily just kept lightening it to make more money but she understands the true beauty in taking care of her clients. I used to use suave as shampoo and conditioner and took 30 min showers most. Now I have a whole new knowledge and routine for my hair(I wish my showers were shorter still as they are about 45-55 mins). Anna is a real life saver as I was super depressed about it. I'm not a girly girl. I don't wear makeup, I don't wear nice shoes or clothes but I always had a soft spot for my hair. I am so grateful Anna took the time to have a consultation with me and figure out my hair journey together. Highly recommend her establishment!! read more

First and foremost all I can say is Wow! Anna did my color and cut and she is amazing! Listen to me, and went with it.... I'm so happy and needless to say I'm picky! I booked the next 3 visits and already am looking forward to them! I can't say enough of how happy my whole experience was! My star rating is well past the 5 stars... Thank you Anna! read more

Susie did a great job on my hair! I love the color, and have gotten a lot of compliments on it! It was a relief to find such a great salon close to where I'm living now. The prices were reasonable as well :). Nothing but praises for Susie! read more

Salon Gia always does a great job on haircuts/styling/color for both my daughter and me.

I've been getting my hair cut and colored by Anna for years! She does an incredible job every time, and I always receive so many compliments on the cut and color! read more

I love Salon Gia! The girls that work here are fun and know what they are doing! They are always accommodating to my last minute appointments and the stylist Susie is great!! She's the only one I would trust to color or cut my hair, my highlights turn out amazing every time (also she probably has the neatest foils I have ever seen). If you're looking for a salon where you get a great cut or color I would give them a chance. They also offer waxing, mani/pedi, massage, facials, anything a salon and day spa would offer! All at decent prices too! read more

I have a lot of hair.. I mean, its insane. And I like it long. Most stylists get scissor happy when they see me. Not Susie. I began seeing her about a year ago after a recommendation from a family member with similar hair. My cut and color are flawless. Not only is she talented as a stylist, but has a great personality, which is needed when you are in a chair for 3+ hours at a time. read more

I've been going to Salon Gia for years - and I've received compliments all across the US on my cut and color (I travel a lot for business)! My two daughters only go to Salon Gia as well. In addition to the stylists, Maria is an excellent nail technician - relaxing mani/pedi's that last! read more
