Editorial Review for Honey Child Salon and Spa – by Elisa Kronish
The Space
Rich brown tones create a calming atmosphere at this three-level spa. Flowing cream sheaths cover windows, shielding guests from busy La Salle Street. Friendly and dressed mostly in stylish black, staff isn't too hip to be straight with advice. Honest opinions on hairstyles and skin treatments bring out your best.
The Services
Expert hair coloring or highlights will have strangers fooled, while your new cut will make you want to kiss the mirror. For naturally curly or chemically processed hair, try the Honey Quench. A lovely private area is reserved for massages like the Honey on the Rocks, which uses hot stones and hot honey oil to deep-treat muscles. Swedish, shiatsu and deep tissue massages are also available. The Honey Buns treatment combines exfoliants, rich balms and warm paraffin for a supple rear end.

For starters Honey Child claims that they are a taste of southern endearment and southern comfort and with their attitudes that is definitely not the case. I went to have my hair done and decided to have a consultation for extensions which I was never told was priced and is free in most salons, even the ones downtown. So I waited in the waiting area for about 45 minutes to just have my hair done (my sister was having a pedicure and it was almost finished) before someone noticed that maybe I was there to have my hair done. The lady who did the consultation (which was suppose to last 30 min) spoke with me for a good 10 minutes and made me sign a paper that said I would pay 50.00 for the consultation. My feelings were hurt because I could not afford that fee and my hair as a college student, and no one told me about the price. I still needed my hair done for an event that I was attending, so I had to get it done but the stylists still had said nothing to me even by this time. I had to go back to the receptionist to ask her who was suppose to do my hair and the lady who was suppose to do it said to me how she didn’t even notice me sitting there probably because she was busy playing with the owners hair. I was thinking I am almost 6 feet tall she couldn’t have missed me, but I kept my composure. The stylist did nothing extra fabulous and she brushed my hair way too hard to the point that I heard it pulling as she brushing it out to blowdrying it. I was so completely hurt and dissatisfied that I was conned into paying 50.00 for a 10 minute consultation. I thought I should have at least been notified and their excuse that I was not was because I was a walk in and they must have thought that I already knew the price since I asked for it right away. My feelings are still completely hurt! I do not recommend this salon, there are so many better ones with better quality service!
Pros: learning that just because a place claims they are good doesnt mean that they are
Cons: Having my faith in Good salons weakened...I was so ready all to be dissapointed!

As someone who has worked behind the desk at a few salons, I fully understand how important it is for the receptionist to have a good attitude. He or she is the lifeline between happy customers and big pay checks for the staff. Well I don't know who was picking up the phone on June 27th but she needs to get an attitude check. I asked her a few simple questions, all I got were short answers in an ignorant tone. Look I'm just looking to spend some money. As a customer I would appreciate a warm response. Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot............. I have never been to your salon before, I am looking for information. The only information you supplied me with is that my money could be best spent else where. Thanks and Have a Nice Day!
