    LOVE!! Thanks Nino!!!
    W L.

    Easy to schedule because they have a lot of stylists. Nino did a cut, color, full highlights, deep conditioning and blow dry. His work is precise, immaculate and GORGEOUS!! I used to have to go to 3 different people but Nino was able to do everything. The highlights are my top rave. And, I've never seen someone do such incredible work so fast! He didn't rush but he seems so confident in what he was doing that it was easy for him. I found my new stylist and could not be happier. Also, great location in the Glen and plenty of parking. All the staff I encountered were SO nice, accommodating and professional. I HIGHLY recommend Scruples and specifically Nino. I feel rejuvenated, younger, and pretty :)

    Wonderful customer care! Ben has colored and cut my hair for several years. My hair always looks amazing and healthy. Nina , the owner and Johnny are very personable and kind. Margaret for nails I also highly recommend. Recently had blonde highlights. I'm very happy at Scruples Hair Salon.

    I can't thank Ben enough for the beautiful haircut (and blowout) he gave me. It still looks wonderful after two days of being in the heat and humidity that Chicago has been experiencing. After receiving a bad and uneven haircut from a former hairstylist that left me with uneven and virtually lifeless strands, Ben was able to balance everything out, transforming my hair into a voluminous style with movement . I'm extremely excited that I have found a very talented stylist: Ben is better than any of the many city salons that I have visited in the past. I highly recommend going to Ben - you will not be disappointed. Thank you Ben and Scuples. I can't wait for my next visit.

    I was charged extra for the toner (it was stated in fine print) at time of Groupon purchase but was quoted $65 per the stylist Silvia but charged $95 at the reception desk! The Moroccan oil treatment was never done to my hair but instead LOMA conditioner applied only, not what the Groupon packed stated. TOTAL: $235

    I called them to see if they take walkins, my daughter and I needed a trim. I did not want to go to a place that didn't know what they were doing, so I did not call cheap places, but knew based on reviews they had quality stylists. The owner(I think) answered the phone and let me know how much it would be and that I could get in right away, even informed me of a great discount coupon for first time guests they had on their website. After I arrived and we were placed with our stylist (I had Avi and my daughter had Freddy) I was just so thankful we had come. Avi is a wealth of knowledge, he has done hair for about thirty years and his experienced calm demeanor was so welcome. I appreciated his telling me how to help my daughter's hair growth and things that pertained to my hair loss as well. After the cut they blow dried our hair and let me just tell you, I have never ever had my hair blown out the way Avi did it. It was gorgeous, and I am normally not so confident. My hair looks beautiful! I will always while living in Illinois visit this shop and this stylist! As for Freddy, I can only speak for my daughter I didn't talk to him much but her hair starting off before the cut was very uneven due to a bad stylist and improper coloring in the past, Freddy cut her hair in such a beautiful way that it looks like she never had that problem! It left her feeling so confident and pretty! We are thankful we found Scruples! Definitely go there! We went to the Glenview location! They also have a full service salon that has nails, and other asthetic treatments. Very nice location!

    My daughter went here because of a Groupon and raved about it so I thought I'd check it out. Faye was my nail technician and she also did my lash lift & tint. I'd never had this service before and wanted to do it since my daughter's worked out so well. I've been very sensitive to mascara recently but I also have skimpy lashes so I wasn't sure how it would work out. I love them! Makes me want to use a serum to plump them up so I get even better results next time! My mani pedi was also outstanding. I have been to many places in Glenview where the people rush through them and Faye did not. The best foot & leg massage too! Can not recommend them more. I'm going to go for a facial next time and add some other treatments too. I will absolutely be back! Thanks Faye

    I called and made an appointment to see Ben and they were able to accommodate my schedule. I had requested a time earlier than Ben's start time and they said they could have him come in a bit early, but I ended up changing my availability so he didn't have to; it was nice that they offered that though. I was happy with my cut. I felt that Ben did techniques that I've never seen before. He didn't really well with blending the layers. He did exactly what I'd asked for. The environment is busy but not to the point where you're not noticed. I enjoyed my experience here.

    I'm a little late, but.. I came to Ben after years & years of never trusting someone to cut my hair. I can honestly say all the reviews I read of his did not steer me wrong. I absolutely love how he did my hair, Ben is amazing and totally worth the hour drive it took to see him.

    Came back to Ben after 3yrs trying different salons. He's still one of the best in town. Gave the best hair transformation (I wish I had before & after pic). It was last minute walk-in & went smoothly. I asked for a butterfly haircut & he did amaaazing :)

Big shout out to Kim Sun Young hair design and the ladies who work there for patiently braiding and packaging up my hair I highly recommend this salon as the service was wonderful and I believe it was a valuable experience.

    I went back and forth as to whether I wanted to write this, but I do think my experience was…read moreunfortunate and may not necessarily reflect their skill and service here, but I think it's still worth sharing. The TL;DR is that I was unable to get my hair coloring done and also got a haircut that was not very flattering. I felt I looked better when I came in vs when I came out of the salon. This was all despite the effort I made to contact this salon multiple times beforehand to ensure that they were able to do the hair that I wanted. In January, I had my hair cut and permed in Los Angeles, which I was happy with, but I wanted to also make my hair blonde with this hair style (I'm a Korean American with dark hair). I confirmed with my hairstylist in LA as well as the internet that you should wait a while to bleach your hair to space out the damage, at least ~4 weeks. I currently live in Cleveland, OH for grad school and heard there aren't many good salons in OH for Asian hair. So I did my research, found this salon in Chicago with good ratings, read through ratings, looked through photos, and then first messaged them on instagram to set an appt. I sent them reference photos of the color I wanted, plus a current selfie showing my hair to ask if what I wanted was possible. I also explained I was going to be driving in from Cleveland (took me 7 hours since I avoided tolls) so I wanted to really make sure before I made the trip. I told them also about my perm from weeks ago (it was going to be over 7 weeks since the perm for the appt day I asked for). I also called 24 hours later directly to the salon since I didn't get a response on instagram right away. The person on the phone booked me with Michelle. I then proceeded to explain my situation and told them I sent them photos on instagram. The woman on the phone tried to reassure me saying "it's okay, Michelle can do whatever color. Don't worry about it." I took their word. They also responded on instagram confirming they could book me an appt and gave me an estimate of pricing (starting around $350) and time range (3-4 hours) based on the color I wanted. The day of my appt, I show Michelle my pictures and what I want. She starts rambling about how the color I want is not possible, or needs to be bleached multiple times because my hair color is too dark. I was asking her to clarify if that meant I have to come in on different days to get it done, and she wasn't very clear and eventually just said, "It's okay, we will figure it out. For now, you need a haircut right?" So we cut my hair to a length I was satisfied with, but since it wasn't dried/styled yet, I wasn't sure what the finished product would look like yet. Then we went back to discussing color. First, she tells me, "okay, we can bleach multiple times, but it may take a long time, maybe even 6 hours. Is that ok?" I said yes (I knew it might take a long time so I purposefully asked for their earliest appt time that day). "And it's going to be around $400-500. Is that ok?" I said yes again. THEN she says, "oh, and the bleach is going to flatten your perm, so you won't have your perm anymore." This is when I was stunned and hesitated and asked for time to think. I was already starting to worry about whether the color would actually look okay on me based on Michelle's initial response to my request, but then to also not have my perm that I had paid for before but I still wanted to be a part of my overall hairstyle? I was incredibly disappointed. I was definitely ignorant of how this hair stuff worked, but that's why I tried doing my research beforehand and asked them multiple times, sending them pictures and explaining my situation BEFORE I planned a trip 7 hours away by car. I don't have many free weekends, so this was also difficult for me to schedule. Eventually I declined the color because I didn't want to risk not liking the final color AND losing my perm. But I wish the staff, all the people I talked to here, told me BEFORE I made the trip to Chicago, and BEFORE she cut my hair. I honestly would not have gotten my haircut had I known I wasn't going to get color. I know cheaper hair salons for hair cuts in the area and might've opted for another place if I wanted one (my hair was already short, but the haircut price was still $70). The staff didn't necessarily act rude or anything, but they clearly failed to take my situation into consideration despite all of my effort and wasted my time, money and energy. And honestly I don't like the hair cut. I look like Johnny Depp from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; the lack of layers is not flattering. I have to pull my hair back daily to look decent. I'm just sad this happened and they may be competent at hair, but the inconsiderate communication was really disappointing.

I was cautious at first since I've gone to a korean hair salon and paid $75 for a haircut only to look like a christmas tree in the middle of July (needless to say it was in a bun all year long until it grew out) There was only one guy to take care of me and my two friends. We each wanted something different done. I wanted a haircut, one friend wanted a perm and another wanted her hair dyed. I was the last to be done but it didn't wear this hairstylist a bit. He took time to cut each of my layers and checked over and over to see the "flow" of my natural waves. He cut more of my bangs then before and ive received so much more compliments than before. All i did was get a haircut but i felt like a new person! He was great! I wish i couldve asked for his name. He wears glasses and has a mustache? He is the person to go to!

    I have no idea what happened to my review so here it is again…read more The receptionist sets the tone for the whole business. It is an extremely important job. It is not easy. You are dealing with many personalities. A really good receptionist knows how to make a customer always want to come back. Here is my experience tonight. I am horrified. I called yesterday. I gave the salon more than 24 hours notice just as I was told to do. I spoke to a lovely receptionist. I explained to her that heavy storms were coming in with many warnings. I did not want to drive in this weather. They were predicting tornados, hail and heavy winds. She was absolutely lovely to talk to and understood. I also explained to her that I did not want to get a fee for rescheduling. She said she understood and would take care of it. She also told me to call in the morning and let them know once I saw what the weather was like. I followed her advice and immediately called in the morning. I rescheduled my appointment. No problem, At 6:30 tonight Gail called (the other receptionist.) as obnoxious as can be and told me I did not follow the rules. She was going to place a fee on me. I believe it was $25. She kept saying we talked about this and would not stop. I honestly thought she was a broken record. I followed the rules. I did nothing wrong. I will tell you the right does not know what the left is doing. There is no communication between receptionists. This was a power trip and under no circumstances she was going to win. She was determined. That was obvious. Salons are customer service oriented. You have to be this way if you are going to keep your customers. They want the customers to be relaxed by their services. I don't know if Gail got off the wrong side of the bed or if something was going on in her life. She sure took it out on me. I am not going to tolerate this behavior. Nobody should. I wonder if the owners know how she is treating the customers. She cancelled my appointment because she said I did not follow the rules. At this point, I hung up on her. Nobody should ever be treated this way under any circumstances. It was horrifying to say the least. If you want to be abused by a receptionist then I would recommend going here. I am just flabbergasted by the way I was treated. I am in the salon every month. I am not a walk in. I am also surprised that neither of the owners reached out to me. This says it all!

I specifically asked for my bangs to be below my eyebrows and she made a rookie mistake of cutting it at my eyebrows when wet. Anyone with bangs know that once dry, it gets a bit shorter. plus she didn't cut it evenly or symmetrically. In the attached pictures, one is a picture of the bangs I showed the stylist (of the bangs I wanted), the one that looks very short is the bangs I left with right after (she styled it with a round brush and dryer), and the third one is the next day after I washed my hair and combed it down- you can see it's not even straight or symmetrical.. thankfully this will grow out in about 3-4 weeks but it's devastating with the holiday season, Christmas is in a few days and New Years next week with lots celebrations and my hair will look like I cut and messed up my own bangs. the rest of my hair was decently cut - though when looking at it, it's hard for the eyes not to go to the bangs that were so obviously messed up. I would have been understanding if they told me they gave me a junior or student stylist and I wish she would have just told me she isn't comfortable cutting bangs as it would have been better if she just left it alone.

I have been going and spreading the gospel of Shana for all the years since my last review. Because I moved to St Louis and then covid ruined my year in Chicago, I didn't get to have many haircuts with her in the past six years, but I did when I could, and the few times I've had to settle for an emergency haircut elsewhere (Chicago Chinatown, flushing new york, etc) , no one was good as her. To me, what makes her incredibly special is how great my hair can look without any effort. I am a very low maintenance person, and no one else has ever given me a haircut that looks great just by me air drying my hair lazily. Plus, if I let my hair grow out, it somehow maintains some semblance of shape for a long, long time. How!! It's magic. Nowhere else have I been able to get this. Sure this is just one person's low maintenance needs. But honestly it's a big ask for a stylist - give me a nonboring haircut, but I don't want it to look like crap when I don't style it. No one else has been able to do achieve that for me. And from the time I've spent in the waiting area/waiting for my hair to dye, etc, and seeing other clients come through, it is clear Shana strives to understand each person's needs individually. And of course she's always offering advice based on each person (that you should always listen to!) All the things I said in my previous review are true still, she is of course a skilled technician. But also magical, to me at least. And I know it's just hair! But it was always great knowing I could always rely on Shana for a great haircut, and this void has been hard to fill now that I moved. Everyone should go to Shana, especially if you have thick Asian hair like me!
