This salon spa is the best I've been too. My hair has always been so difficult to manage, making me resort to the boring ponytail every day. I went here once for a haircut, and I don't think I will ever go anywhere else!! They have the most wonderful service, amazing products and hair tips, and most importantly, the end result is impressive to say the least. I have gone there 3 times now, and each time, I fall in love with Aniko even more!

  • Pros: skill, customer service, atmosphere

I received a massage from Candice, and it was the best one ever!!! I have back problems and she is the first massage therapist EVER who hasn't hurt me during my massage. Place is extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was great as well. I recommend everyone to go get a massage from Candice. You won't be disappointed!!!!

I know that I am the owner of Aniko but I had to write a review because this was the first time I had a massage with Candace and it truly was amazing. I don't like deep tissue and was having back and shoulder problems and was stressed about my upcoming wedding and she cured me! Her technique was awesome, her professionalism was great and I was overall very pleased with my service. One of the best massages I have ever gotten and trust me I have gotten a lot. Try her out you won't regret it.

  • Pros: Service and Professionalism
  • Cons: A little chilly in the room

I've been going to Aniko for about 2 years now. I get everything done there from my Hair, Mani/Pedi's, waxing, facials and massages. Stephanie, Cosmina, Laura and Cheryl are my favorites. There is hardly a week that goes by that I'm not in there for something. I highly reccomend Aniko!

  • Pros: Great Services and Staff

I went to Aniko Salon for the first time in Aug. 2008 and have been going ever since. Steven is a hair healer! A true hair artist who enjoys his work. I will go old school and say he is a wonderful "hair dresser". He really does it all; styles, colors and gives a great hair cut. His easy going personality is very welcoming. I find it to be a spiritual experience when Steven does my hair...from the wonderful shampoo massage to the finishing styling touches. I always feel renewed, transformed. I feel lighter, relaxed and happier. I'm blessed to have found Steven, my, hair dresser.

  • Pros: easy to get to two blocks away from Roosevelt L stop
  • Cons: cash tips only (not really a con) just come prepared

I have been coming to see Billy for years no matter where she is. She performs great work on my wild, uncontrollable brows and my dry, party nails/hands. She always performs miracles and I appreciate that extra attention and how she makes sure I am really comfortable. She is also a cheerer-upper with a humor to make you feel better when you leave to continue your day or night. Billy is GREAT!!!

You know how you go to the fast fixers when you needs your nails and toes done well that is what I do on occasions but recently I went to Aniko Salon on Wabash and oh boy I was in heaven. Billy is great and the polish lasted for much longer than I expected it to. She was very cheerful and accomidating for my needs. She actually went out her way to please me and didn't rush at doing the job so she could get to another customer. I will be going back again and again because my Toes need to look good even if it is winter. Aniko also has so much more to offer that my girls and I are trying to plan our next spa day there. Trust me if you want your toes and fingers to look good see Billy at Aniko.

  • Pros: Ambience, the great customer service and the service
  • Cons: No parking lot...but lots of meters if you luck up

I just treated my wife to Aniko for her birthday and she LOVED IT!!! She received the Platinum Day at the SPA package complete with a hot stone massage. The service was professional from first contact to parting gifts. Megan (front desk representative) was knowledgeable, friendly and detail oriented. If you?re lucky enough to get her you will be in good hands indeed. The entire staff was excellent, non-harassing and accommodating. They didn?t try to force additional services on my wife; they just let her enjoy the package she purchases. The lunch and wine was excellent! When I picked her up she was in an excellent mood and looking forward to the next time!

  • Pros: They have a complete package
  • Cons: The city is doing construction on the street out front

After moving 1800 miles away from my former hairstylist (who I was terribly loyal to) and letting my hair get to a horrifically unmanageable state because of my stubborn refusal to visit anyone else, I realized it was time for a cut. I looked up reviews on salons all over the city, but after realizing I couldn't possibly read reviews on every single salon I decided to go to Aniko, since I live in the condos right above it. I called on a Sunday and was given an appointment with Patrick the next day. After having one person cut my hair for years, and also having experienced many a horrible haircut because of my naturally curly hair before that, I was essentially a step away from curling up in the fetal position and crying at the thought of having my poor hair maimed.

Enter Patrick. He took some serious time to learn about my hair, my routine and what my hair goals were. I brought along pictures of what my hair usually looks like after a cut by my old stylist. She used to cut it dry simply because I have naturally curly hair that I wear straightened, and washing, drying and flat ironing is terribly time consuming, but Patrick had no problem doing it all. He listened to what I wanted and also put his own knowledge of what would look good on me and some creative flair on it, giving me a cut that's about a hundred times better than the one I used to get. He explained what he was doing in detail at each step and why, which was hugely reassuring to me. Even when his next appointment came in, he did not rush me out of the chair at all- just told her very nicely he was running a little behind. I'm sure she got the same careful attention to detail I did when her turn came! I'll be going back without a doubt- I've found my new stylist.

There really aren't enough characters here for me to praise the entire experience enough, but seriously, just book an appointment with Patrick at Aniko. You will not regret it.

  • Pros: Experienced stylists, relaxing atmosphere, attention to detail, incredibly close to public transit
  • Cons: Parking (but hey, it's the loop- gotta expect that!)

I just got back from Aniko. I thought I would give it a try. They took me the same day that I called and booked me with Patrick. When I first stepped into the salon they were so welcoming, took my coat and offered me beverages. Patrick was so great because he listened to me and what I was saying. He got to know my personality, my daily routine and used that to create a look for me. I told him that I wanted my bangs to look like a certain reality tv stars and he looked her up on the internet and recreated that look perfectly. He also used styling techniques flow with my face shape. He also taught me how to recreate that look at home. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable and answered my burning questions about haircare so thoroughly. I am definitely going back. Totally worth every penny!!!
