I have been seeing Dave for quite some time. I always love my hair. I received a phone call from Envy saying that Dave had left and to my suprise they wouldn't tell me where he went. The reason I go to the Salon is for Dave and not anyone else. How can they hold information from me? Good thing I found him on Facebook. Restoration Salon here I come!

Pros: Kerastase

Cons: communication

I have been going to owner and stylist Susan for about 6 years now. I keep going back because I always love my hair. I get highlights and it always looks very natural, and grows out great! Susan has been doing my hair for years now and I would recommend her to anyone!

Pros: cute salon, Kerastase products, parking, staff

Cons: Can't tip on credit card

Dave rocks coloring and he rocks with the scissors! I have been going to him for a short time--about 4 months--but I have to get my hair colored every 5 weeks (bad genes..thanks Mom!) In that short period of time he has done amazing things with my color. I just got my hair cut and colored last week and I can't tell you how many compliments I have gotten in just a week. I really want to keep Dave a secret, but I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut! Everyone there is very friendly and there is just a nice vibe to this place. They have great products, great parking, great magazines, and always a sweet treat!

I've been going to Sarah for cuts and highlights for nearly 3 years now. I receive alot of compliments on my hair and definately owe it all to her. I usually don't have a clear idea of what I want to do but she gives great direction and advice for what works best with my hair type. I've gone from dark to light, long to short with her and she does an amazing job every time! I always look forward to getting my hair done; not only is she talented but she's a great person to sit and chat with. I highly reccomend this salon!!!

Pros: Love the salon, great atmosphere, very friendly staff, great products for sale too!!!

OMG!! I don't even know where to begin. I followed Dave from his last salon because he is that amazing. I get my cuts and highlights done by him. I've gone short, brunette, long, blonde. You name it, he does it....and very well I might add. I have referred over a dozen friends and family members to him. Every single person I have sent to him has loved the work that he has done and they have all gone back at least once. Most go back to him on a regular basis. I have heard nothing but great things. I believe that he is one of the best in Chicago. At least try him out. See for yourself. He is fun and energetic and easy to talk to. Can we talk about his shampoos? Wow, they are incredible. He told me he doesn't do daily house calls....darn! I want to also mention that the rest of the salon is super as well. Waxing is great and messages. They have awesome jewelry, hair products and Glo-mineral makeup. They call you and remind you about appointments. They offer you beverages, cookies, great reading material, whatever you want to ensure the best possible experience. They do a wonderful job and I will be recommending Dave and the salon for a long time. Thank you for giving me and my friends the best experience EVER!

Pros: Genuine and skilled stylists, Parking, Great location, Ambience

Cons: NONE!

I have been going to Lucy for almost 2 years now. She previously worked at a different salon (not to be named) and I followed her to Salon Envy. Her former salon was snobby and rude, but I kept going and endured the higher prices to stay with Lucy. Now that she's at Salon Envy, I get the best of all worlds - a friendly, upbeat salon with Lucy - the best stylist & colorist in Chicago! I've recommended 4 friends to her, that are now regulars.

Pros: Parking, Affordable, Upbeat & Sociable

Cons: None!

I recently came to Sara as a reccomendation from a friend to fix a botched highlight job. She took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done to achieve my desired results and showed me several pictures of looks that she thought would be good for me. My color turned out absolutely perfect and I left with a brand new haircut that she reccomended. Not only is the cut fresh and new, but it's been so easy for me to style. I will definitly be back.

Pros: nice environment, parking lot, great stylists

Cons: none

I was a client of Caitin's for about a year. She was generally good with color but her cuts are average at best. When she totally, messed up my color, despite specific directions, she couldn't be bothered to get me in to fix it and and on top of that was extremely condescending. Additionally, her 3 years of experience do not warrant the prices!

Pros: Parking

Cons: lack of experienced stylists.

Let me just say both the salon and staff deserve a ten star rating. I have been to several "upscale" salons and I have always left feeling like my hair color or cut was not worth the outrageous price. I was referred to Dave at Salon Envy by a coworker who insisted I must give him a try. I arrived for my haircut a few minutes early and to my surprise Dave was ready to take me even though he had just a few foils to put in on another client. I changed into a robe while he wrapped up. I was offered a beverage by not one but three employees. I was especially thrilled about a glass of white wine. Traffic was bumper to bumper on the majority of Clybourn so I was thrilled to indulge. Despite forgetting my pictures, Dave took time to walk me through what I was wanting and expecting with my hair. Let's talk about the head massage he gave me. I felt like those women in the Herbal Essence ads. Best shampoo of my life. We opted for a healthy trim, long bangs and long layers. I really like how most of the stylist here cut wet and dry hair. There is such a difference when the hair is "refined" (as Dave put it.) I instantly fell in love with the Shu Umura (sp) products. When we finished I was walked to the front and asked if I had any remaining questions. I completed my transaction and was on my way. Upon returning to work, several coworkers complemented me on my new cut but what was most surprising was getting asked where I got my hair done while at Macy's! Thanks Dave and the staff at Salon Envy. You sure have won me over. Can't wait to go back.

Pros: Parking, wine, shampoo

Cons: busy Clybourn
