In Short – Tucked along a bustling portion of Clybourn, this storefront salon aims for subtle appeal with muted earth tones, cool violet highlights, and glowing sconce lighting. Men and women fill several styling chairs for top-notch haircuts and color treatments, or recline for one of several specialized facials. Custom services include a premium makeup application session and deep hair conditioning. A well-edited retail section carries brands like dermalogica and Kerastase.

Worst SAlon in Chicago

by SP495 at Citysearch

I do not understand how this place has 4 stars on here. The receptionist are completely horrible to the customers, the customer service is terrible. They do not take care of their clients......this place not only should be taken down from "city searches best" list but should be shut down altogether. You guys should be ashamed to call yourself a salon.

Never Again...

by Karaglobal at Citysearch

...will I go anywhere else to get a bikini wax . I had my first brazilian in salon envy with Natalia. Not the most comfortable thing, but she does her best to make you feel comfortable. Quick and thorough. Prices are good too. The only thing is it's kind a hard to get an appointment. Because of that, I had to go somewhere else to get a brazilian last minute once and it was the worst. I figured I get them done enough so I should be able to take it, right? WRONG! Natalia @ salon envy takes about 15 minutes and is not that painful. This other chick (obviously at a place that is not salon envy) took about 40 minutes and the wax strips looked like a kotex. That's just wrong! I will remain faithful to Salon Envy.

Best Highlights/Color

by roxisasss at Citysearch

I have been going to Salon Envy for several years, and I see the owner Susan. I have been a loyal customer of hers and she always does a great job! She always listens and gives me what I want, not like some stylists. I am never unhappy!! The waxing I get there is always great as well, I have been to both girls there. I highly recommend Salon Envy!

  • Pros: Kerastase/ Bumble and Bumble, Staff
