Been here twice because it's close... Bad service here is a trend

by user_name1977 at Citysearch

My guess is that most of the positive reviews here are from their own staff or management, not from actual customers. I have been here twice because it's so close to my house and had bad experiences both times from the the chair to the front desk and overall staff. I tried it a second time because it's right next to my home. In the end I'm just cabbing it to find someplace else, it's worth the $5 overhead not to be treated like this and have shotty work.

If you choose to go here I'd recommend taking a look around before committing to getting cut / styled. The hairdressers and the work you see come out the door is a good reflection of the type of work they do here. They take little pride and have little respect for you the customer.

I highlighted these complaints to management without any resolve.

• Pros: Close to where I live
• Cons: Staff, Talent, Everything

Justyna rocks!!

by melcat1980 at Citysearch

I came here last week to get color and highlights and was referred to Justyna. I must say, I am recieving so many compliments it's crazy! My hair was a bit of a mess and Justyna made it look like supermodel hair! She recommended a kerastase treatment along with my service and Wow! what a difference that made. My hair was soft and silky and still looks great!! I Love this place and can't wait to be back:)

• Pros: Amazing talent
• Cons: none

Best place for brazilian wax!

by Debbie 8756 at Citysearch

This salon is the best. I get my monthly brazilian wax here. I will never go anywhere else. When Taylor was gone for maternity leave I saw Nataliya, they both - EXCELLENT ! Salon also open until 9:00 pm during the week...this is perfect for me because I work until 7:30pm. Love it! Girls you are the BEST!

• Pros: Best place for brazilian wax!

Did you know a brazillian wax can be pleasent?

by aml0813 at Citysearch

I had looked up best places for brazillian waxes in Chicago online, and I found some reviews about Salon Envy, so I decided I would give them a try, I had been to top salons and each time it was painful and extremely expensive, but when I went to Salon Envy and met Taylor, I had the best time, it was not awkward, she did NOT hurt, it was quick and painless, and I do not have a high pain threshold. She is awesome, so go see her!!! I have been seeing her for over a year now and will not go to anyone else, I even waited for her to get off maternity leave before I went back in.

• Pros: Wax

Expensive but worth it!

by clc4136 at Citysearch

The staff is really nice and professional. I got the color and cut I requested exactly, which is apparently hard to do. I recommend Salon Envy.

• Pros: Great color. Great cut.
• Cons: Moderately expensive.

Kinda spendy but WORTH it

by fire4hairlady at Citysearch

I used to work right near here and on a whim got an appointment here. Caitlin is amazing with my super dry naturally curly hair! From the very beginning she has given me stylish, effortless hair that can be worn straight or curly, and was the first stylist I have ever had who could style my hair curly on her first encounter with it.

Professional, clean, and friendly staff and space. I am a devotee even though I no longer live or work around there.

• Pros: Caitlin is amazing with naturally curly hair
• Cons: sometimes a little slow/busy

Best cuts, colors, staff and the place is CLEAN!

by tmurray11 at Citysearch

I have been following the owner for years. She is a perfectionist herself and hires amazing people. All of the staff are friendly and attentive. Susan gets the best products and lines. And someone is always cleaning... You wont be disappointed.

Cute and Good!

by jennibpoli at Citysearch

I went to Salon Envy on a recommenation of a friend after going to 3 places to get my highlights done..and not being happy with the results. I walked in and was greeting friendly. I thought the salon was cozy feeling and cute. I didn't really care, as long as I liked my hair. I had been referred to Justyna, and I have to say I LOVE my hair for the first time in a LONG time! She listened to what I asked for, and helped make it happen. I will definately recommend her to friends, and I will be going back. I hope this is helpful to others looking for a salon with good stylists.

• Pros: Haircolor, cute salon, nice staff
• Cons: parking lot busy at lunchtime!

Salon Envy - Best in Chicago!

by hunterty at Citysearch

I recently moved from NYC and have been going to Dee for several months now. I am a fanatic about my hair and every time I go to get my color done I'm totally impressed. Dee is highly educated and extremely talented. They need more stylists like this in Chicago! The girls who work at the salon are professional and make you feel special the second you walk through the door! I would highly recommend Dee and Salon Envy if you're looking for fabulous hair and a great experience!

• Pros: Great cut and color
