The Scene – The downstairs salon is hopping with cutely coiffed stylists, shades of purple and blue splashed throughout. The homey spa upstairs sets a relaxing tone with soothing, Asian-tinged tunes, comfortable couches and refreshing cucumber water for pre-service sipping. A spacious back patio provides a rare natural retreat when weather is nice. – – The Services – Expert haircuts, coloring, hair and scalp treatments, and special-occasion styling are on the salon's luxurious palette. Heavenly spa services include advanced skin care treatments like glycolic peels and…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Appointments are held by credit card; a 24-hour cancellation policy applies.
Parking:
Street parking can be a bear, so allow extra time if you're driving. The spa is located just a couple blocks away from the Wellington El stop on the Brown Line.

  1. The spa environment in Lakeview is great; North Ave. location is good for waxing because you can hear the salon noise (loft-type setup) and it is distracting enough to get you through the pain.
  2. nice and cozy spa though.
  3. loved this salon - the atmosphere is laid back but you know you're getting the best the city has to offer.
  4. They carry awesome products and the overall vibe here is really positive and fun.

  1. It is really clean, the staff could not be any nicer and it is all together a great experience.
  2. believe the best advertisement for a stylist is a great cut/color and after I see her, people are always complementing me on my hair.
  3. This is a must visit full service salon.
  4. The icing on the cake: The front staff are rude and "fake
  5. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great haircut with amazing service!
  6. All 10 of those people are still regular clients and love Sarah as well.
  7. Salon and Spa Blue has continuously provided me with excellent customer service and fabulous style.
  8. The stylists and staff are very friendly and the feel is unpretentious.
  9. The stylists are friendly and they know what they're doing.
  10. Great customer service!
  11. Some people look good with penciled eyebrows, I have oily skin, so it looks greasy with fake brows.
  12. the shampoo assistant was great, the receptionist was super-friendly.
  13. The receptionists on the first floor were a bit standoffish, but both the massage therapists and the receptionist on the second floor were so friendly.
  14. Finally - a fabulous salon with people who are great at what they do!
  15. love Salon Blue, the staff and every service I've ever had there.
  16. poor quality, overpriced, wierd staff, owner doesn't care
  17. She is friendly, helpful, but not pushy, and has a great vision of what a good cut/color will look like.
  18. the receptionist on the phone wasn't clear that it wasn't full service & thought i was getting a deal for $75.
  19. From the very warm greeting by the receptionist to the exceptional service by Pamela, I can't wait to go back!
value
50.0% positive
  1. and while the price wasn't cheap, the whole experience was fantastic!
  2. Terrific value.
  3. poor quality, overpriced, wierd staff, owner doesn't care
  4. The stylist (the same one who is touted so highly in the earlier postings) I saw was overbooked and indifferent and charged me full price for a quick cut.
  5. Frankly, if your spending $25 plus tip for brows and $15 for lip waxing, which is overpriced to begin with, you would think you would get someone who knows what they are doing.
  6. walked out of there with a great cut, exactly what I wanted and a wonderful, inexpensive, new product!

Best Eyebrow waxer!

by Syl045 at Citysearch

I love Denise she is truly great at waxing eyebrows, she has a up-beat personality and really makes your eyebrows look purrfection. I

have gotten so many compliments on my eyebrows when I go to her.

  • Pros: Great Eyebrow wax!
  • Cons: It is pretty pricey.

do not recommend

by obamagirl at Citysearch

I had a haircut here with Nina, who is very young and sweet, but just out of high school. I was surprised when I got the bill. She gave me a gloss, I did not ask for. Lots of upcharges. The funny thing is, she gave me a color that was the same as hers. It looks good on Nina because she is so young, but on me it was very unnatural. The prices was way too high for her experience and level. The cut was average. She did not listen to what I asked for, but was very sweet. I thought the hidden charges were misleading.

I had an eyebrow and bikini wax. Eyebrow was very disappointing. The shape was uneven and the ends were waxed off, so now I have to pencil it in. Very disappointing. Some people look good with penciled eyebrows, I have oily skin, so it looks greasy with fake brows.

  • Pros: Nina is sweet girl. they sell plastic jewlery at the front counter
  • Cons: avoid waxing, watch for upcharges, overpriced for what you get, front desk are rude

poor quality, overpriced, wierd staff, owner doesn't care

by lovinlifegirl at Citysearch

I had my hair cut/colored by this 18 year old there and they charged around $200 for someone who was just out of school! I got a better haircut at HAIR CUTTERY on BROADWAY!.

Then I had an eyebrow & lip wax. The first time, they burned my brows. It took about a week for the red to go away, after the skin peeled off. The second time, this girl Julie didn't know how to shape them and didn't trim them. She also waxed them too thin, very unnatural. Think Joan Crawford. The salon is nice inside. The front desk are wierd. I called the manager/owner, but she never bothered to call back. Emily (the older highly strung one at the front desk), wouldn't answer my questions.

Frankly, if your spending $25 plus tip for brows and $15 for lip waxing, which is overpriced to begin with, you would think you would get someone who knows what they are doing. Or the very least, the owner would care that you had a bad experience, and apologize. They are just right in their own minds and the customer doesn't matter. I'm taking my business elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend them at all. It's very disheartening because they seem like a professional business from the outside and all the fancy advertising. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

  • Pros: the shop inside is pretty
  • Cons: bad haircut, overpriced, burned my skin waxing, mis-shapen brows

WORST WAXING EVER

by badwax at Citysearch

I had to write after noticing a person who works a Salon Blue writing fake reviews. I have been a client of the salon and the spa for about 3 years now, and they had this great technician, GENEVIVRE, who quit. I got passed off, without asking, so someone whom I hight doubt is trained or licensed. . The women was fast and efficient. A little two fast and efficient. She thinned out my brows so much. I looked like Brooke Shields, now I look like Pamela Anderson except shorter. It was so bad, I had to go to another salon and get them to FI X IT!! Plus they wont tell you where the girls are licensed!!! They are so secretive and I highly doubt these people are licensed. The icing on the cake: The front staff are rude and "fake". This is not LA, but these ladies act like it. I felt so uncomfortable and horrified at the results. I would never recomment them to any of my girlfriends and I have heard two professionals in the beauty business complain about the salon and warn me. DO NOT GO!!

  • Pros: Fast. Too fast.
  • Cons: Scary unlicensed, untrained technicians
