Ambra Salon & European Day Spa can be found in the newly reopened & revamped bi-level space on the corner of Superior & State street, after outgrowing their 1st location in the Gold Coast area for more than a decade. Ambra offers all standard services (including the famously painless bikini wax), but it has added a full-service hair salon and other new intriguing new items to the menu.

The Scene – This spa's decor is more traditional than modern (emerald green carpeting, wicker seating and treatment rooms similar to candlelit doctor's offices), but downtown professionals and shoppers appreciate efficient treatments. Amenities are functional, not over the top--water comes from a water cooler, the bathroom features a regular shower--for patrons who are more interested in service than wowing, but superfluous, details. – – The Services – Unpretentious skin and body treatments, including European facials, Brazilian bikini waxes, nail services and a…

What a wonderful surprise!
by ileneo at Citysearch
I followed Anna from another salon - she is the most outstanding hair stylist I have ever had. I have never before continuously visited the same stylist for so long. In addition to her talent, she is genuinely warm and very focused on her client and her clients taste and lifestyle. I never leave the salon without making another appointment! Ambra salon is beautiful! Bright, friendly, and really a pleasure to visit. It really was a delightful surprise. Congratulations Ambra and on your lovely salon and having both Anna & Mada with you. In addition to being truly skilled, they are both special people.
- Pros: Having Anna there!

Michelle S. = Best Stylist in City!
by chicagokristie at Citysearch
I have been with Michelle for 2 years, she just moved to Ambra from another salon and I of course followed her there! Two years ago, I came to Michelle in an emergency when someone had dyed my blonde hair chocolate brown! She performed magic that day and continues to do so every time I see her. She literally does the best haircut I have EVER had in my life. I've lived in most major cities in America, including NYC, Miami, and Houston, and never have I had a better haircut. I do not even have to style my hair, I can let it airdry or just use a paddlebrush with the hairdryer... and the layers fall so perfectly. It's truly shocking. I get so many compliments on my hair and it is all due to Michelle's skills. :)
My color is always great. She is very good at mixing it up and doing it a shade darker in the winter time (which makes it last longer and saves me money). Michelle is super professional and ensures that you are treated accordingly by all of the staff. She is also not the type to make you talk to her the entire time. I can mellow out without feeling obligated to carry a conversation with her. On the flipside, she is easy to talk to and we always have a laugh.
Basically, Michelle is amazing. I am happy with her switch to Ambra. It is an awesome space, super mod/urban. It's more spacious and a better layout than her last salon, and Ambra offers a ton of exciting serivces. I am going in for my first massage next week so I'll let you know how it goes!
- Pros: Color, Cut, Friendly, Uber Professional
- Cons: Michelle has no cons :)

Great place for massage and mani/pedi.
by Roseyb73 at Citysearch
Everyone was so polite & professional. Staff made you feel welcome. Not a snooty or stuffy establishment. Very clean. Massage was wonderful & relaxing. Pedicure Spa was the best! Loved the wine & strawberries. Will definitely go back.
