I'm a very punctual person so when you tell me I can stop by at 2:00pm for a haircut, I will be…read morethere at 1:55pm. Arriving at 1:55pm, I was greeted and seated. 2:30pm rolls around I'm still waiting when it hit 2:50pm I asked Carlos how much longer and he said about 5 minutes (which was 10 minutes) and I was fuming by the time I got to the hairstylist seat. He kindly explained to me that because I called in for same day appointment I would naturally have to wait, which I wish he would of told me beforehand and I would of made an appointment a different day, whatever, after 10 minutes or so I cooled off. I've been going to Carlos for about 2 years now and loved every cut he gave me besides this most recent one. He took off about 2-3 inches and cut my front a little shorter than I would like and my hair looks really "choppy." With fine, straight hair the choppiness is noticeable. After about a week my hair grew a tiny bit and helped with this weirdness, but I'm kind of disappointed since I had asked Carlos about a pair of scissors he was using and he said it was to thin out people's hair/reduce the choppiness look, unfortunately for me he didn't use it enough, but overall I still like my cut, simple and layered. I won't let my haircut stray me from this place especially since it's only $15 for a women's haircut! And the whole scheduling thing I'm sure can be fix or I'll just make sure to go on a weekday. Carlos is friendly and can make conversation with anyone. I would recommend him! His schedule is M, T, F, and Sat.

Emily cut my hair recently and I was very pleased with the cut and the service. I had one of those…read morebad hair days and scheduled an appointment that same afternoon. I came a few minutes early and was seen right away, with no wait. I asked Emily what she thought I should do with my hair and she said she really liked my current cut and suggested a trim, taking off a half-inch. I was pleased with her honest judgement: I had gotten a cut in Montreal a few months back and was very happy with the cut except it was overgrown. She trimmed it quickly yet skillfully, blow dried my coarse wavy hair into a flattering style and then trimmed and textured the ends so the cut lays well. Best of all, my hair looks great even when I don't heat-style it. Dried naturally, the waves are nicely layered and just seem to fall into place--a sign of a good cut. I've tried a lot of places in Elmhurst, but this is the first place where I've gotten a great cut at a reasonable price ($35 with first-time customer discount, not incl. tip). This isn't a cutting-edge, hyped up salon--it's a comfortable, relaxed place, mostly patronized by middle-aged moms like me (as far as I could tell from my weekday afternoon visit). No frills, easy-going, no blasting music, no product-pushing. Just a great cut and great service. I'll be back! Disclosure: I will receive a $20 discount (or 20%, I can't remember) for this review, but I'd give Emily and the salon five stars anyway!
