Michelle S. = Best Stylist in City!

by chicagokristie

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

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.

Best Stylist

by 158

You need to go here!! Jerrdann is the guy you need to go to for a cut, style and color. I've NEVER been happy when I've left a salon until Jerrdann started doing my hair. I have naturally curly hair and he does a fantastic job.

Fantastic

by Maza

Jerrdann is by far the most exceptional stylist who has always done my hair exactly how I wanted. Due to his talent, I actually feel comfortable just letting him cut and color however he thinks necessary with no questions asked. He has also been very accommodating as far as my schedule goes. I would recommend his outstanding service to anyone who is looking for an extraordinary hair stylist. He has been mine for about 7 years and let me tell you, I live about 500 miles away now, but I still have Jerrdann do my hair.

Exceptional Service and Amazing Talent at Ambra!

by JessicaM84

I got my haircut and highlighted at Ambra and couldn't be happier. I've tried numerous salons throughout Chicago and now I am actually staying with this one! When you make an appointment request Jerrdann - he was able to make my hair look like another person's! My hair has always been unmanageable (frizzy, curly, the works) but he cut and colored it in a way that transformed my hair! Loved it! 5 Stars! :)

• Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Great with hair, Garage Parking,

Best Salon Ever

by Amy1204

Never in my life have I liked my hair after having it cut and colored until I went to Jerrdann at Ambra Salon & Spa...I have long hair and want to keep it that way, which is exactly what he did. The highlights turned out beautiful as well. I'm seriously the pickiest person ever when it comes to hair and am soo happy to have finally discovered a stylist that I can trust with my hair. The salon itself is great--really trendy but still comfortable. So if you're really particular about your hair and want to finally find someone who know's what they're doing, then go to Jerrdann @ Ambra Salon, you won't be disappointed!!

Love the Salon!

by lolo1151

First of all, the salon is beautiful and love the modern clean style! I have long asian hair and I agree with the other review that Jerrdann does great layering with long hair. I love to keep my hair length long and its hard to find a hairdresser who can keep my hair long, but Jerrdann can keep the length!! I loved loved my hair and I am definitely coming back !

• Pros: Friendly atmosphere

The KING OF THE LONG HAIR

by jordyn4

I got my hair done at Ambra salon and spa by a hot straight male hair stylist named Jerrdann they said that he specialized in long hair and highlighting. i have to say i was very pleased with the end result, I walked out feeling like a vitoria secret model!!!! he was really great about explaining wat he thought would look good on me and he didn't cut my length like i asked he loves long hair so your safe if your trying to grow out your hair.

• Pros: kept my hair long
• Cons: parkings tuff will take redline next time

International treatments for body and mind are offered in a soothing, unpretentious locale.

by Contributor

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 mostly successful variety of holistic massages (the aromatherapeutic "emotional release" massage is a Swedish rub with new age appeal). Permanent makeup applications, collagen treatments and medi-spa services such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Botox and spider vein removal are also available. An on-site apothecary sells herbal supplements, Biodroga deep-cleansing products, Biodroga herbal body treatments and more to keep up the fuss without muss at home.

The Details
Massage, body treatments, acupuncture, facials, medi-spa treatments, hair removal, sunless tanning, manicure/pedicure.

• Pros: Efficient service
• Cons: No extra amenitiestough parking
