Great Staff

by Diane22

This review is way overdue: I had my wedding services all done at this salon in May. Everything was perfect! Ashton is so funny and awesome, he did my highlights and gave me a gorgeous "sun goddess" look. He also definitely listened when I told him that I wanted something beautiful but not something that I would have to maintain to grow it out. Brad did my makeup and was so friendly and kind the whole time, distracting me from how much I wanted to hurl! Everyone said that my makeup was flawless and I was so happy with it. I don't wear much makeup that often, but I never felt too heavy or "made up"; he definitely made me still feel like I was just my own beautiful self!

Amelia did my updo and made the look complete: she made this beautiful braid around my head and curls in the back. My hair was seriously amazing. She also would tell me really fun stories about other weddings she's done to keep me entertained! I was so grateful that these people made everything so easy and simple and have such positive energy.

Last, I have been now going to Stacy for my last three haircuts and am so loyal to her. She is so fun to hang around and makes my hair amazing every time. I really love the fact that she really listens to what I want and seems to genuinely think about the best way to go about it. My biggest pet peeve with stylists is when it doesn't seem like they're really listening or thinking about what they're doing, and Stacy is the complete opposite of this (as is everyone else there)! I highly recommend this fun, professional salon.

• Pros: beautiful work, good conversation

Great Amazing Experience

by SunnyH

This salon was a recommendation from a nearby one. So, I was just a walk-in. I found this salon absolutely wonderful from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I walked out of the door.

I was greeted by two very friendly staffers named Brad and Sammy. Both very sweet and accommodating.

I was told that one of their stylists, Nina, would be able to take me in 20 minutes. I didn't find that time to be unreasonable. As it was, she took me in 10. That was a plus, in my book. Sat in Nina's chair, she was a wonderful haircutter. The scalp massage before the hair washing was very relaxing. The haircut was excellent. Might have been just as good as one of those expensive haircuts in the downtown salons. The price was very reasonable, too.

I met a couple of the hair colorists at the salon. Their names are Ashton and Jeff. Very nice guys. Wish I needed color, because the experience I had during the cut can only mean that these two guys would be excellent at their craft, too. I do not think this salon would hire anything less than superior.

Although this salon isn't really close to where I live, I will be a return client. That's a given.

So, many thanks to Blueberry Moon's staff. You all are wonderful.

This is the best facial in the city... hands down!

by veronicab99

Last year I went with the editors choice and was really unhappy with my facial. This year, I went with the audience choice and I can see why Blueberry Moon won best facial. I had an amazing facial with Tessa... she was so gentle and relaxing I almost fell asleep. The spa is small and beautiful and the staff was so friendly! I was really surprised at how extreamly happy I was with everything. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeting with smiles and everyone there really seemed to be nice.. not like fake, but really nice. The spa was clean and cozy, the sheets are amazing(so soft, the felt like silk). Everything was great! Oh, and I highly recommend you try the Blueberry coffee... it is like drinking a blueberry muffin... soooooo good!

• Pros: Robes!! I loved them and all Aveda Products!
• Cons: Parking... but hey.. its Lincoln Park... just leave early!
