FAYY is truly the best! She always goes above and beyond, and my color looks absolutely flawless every single time. I've been seeing her for over a year now, and my hair has completely transformed it's healthier, stronger, and looks better than ever. I was completely bleach blonde last year!! I also highly recommend getting a Kérastase Fusio-Dose treatment during your appointment. It works wonders and makes such a noticeable difference in the health and shine of your hair. TRUST me!!!! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your hair and consistently delivers amazing results, Fay is the one! Also the receptionist is the kindest person and always goes above and beyond!! read more

This is a high end salon and prices are high but you get what you pay for. The staff that sets the appointments does an excellent job. Each time I called, I received an immediate call back. The salon will work with you for your appointment. My hair looked great when I was done! read more

I swung by Arsova salon for two separate appointments, one for a haircut and one for a hair gloss on a friend's recommendaction. I had to book the appointments via phone. Upon arriving at the salon, it looked clean and appliances were fairly new and clean too. The check in process was smooth. The stylist greeted me and took me to my chair. My haircut appointment went pretty smoothly and my haircut turned out to be great. The hair gloss appointment was a bit uncomfortable. It took way longer for the color to set in and I had to wait longer than I anticipated. My stylist had another appointment so she had to substitute another stylist in the middle of my appointment, which was a bit annoying. Honestly, I can't hold anyone accountable as it was because of the color taking too long to settle, but it would've been great to continue with just one stylist. The substitute stylist was great, no complaints there. Overall, I liked my haircut experience so I will definitely be back for that but I will think twice before going in for the hair gloss appointment. read more

Best haircut I've had in years! I've worn a bob style cut for over a decade now and I always get so nervous to find a new stylist because sometimes they don't know how to do a good short haircut. But Aleah was amazing!! Not only is she so sweet/kind, but she really takes her time to make sure she gives you the best cut and is giving you exactly what you asked for. She is extremely skilled at what she does and on top of that she is a joy to talk to. The overall experience was 10/10 and I will be coming back to Aleah for all my future haircuts! read more

Booked a balayage with Gabby last minute and had a great experience. I haven't had my hair done professionally in 5+ years. She did exactly what I was looking for in my inspo picture and it all blends so nicely. Great vibes and conversation as well. Plus the salon is beautifully designed, up to date and clean. Easy to find parking on a week day. read more

This was the worst hair experience I've ever had. Went in for a consultation with a stylist, I had reference photos and very specific details about what I wanted. I have thick curly hair that is starting to get a little grey around the hairline. I wanted bayalage to blend the grey and lighten up my naturally dark have. I even asked the stylist if she was confident coloring my textured hair. This stylist assured me that she was very confident. I specifically told her I was nervous as a few years ago I had a color mishap that I was not wanting to repeat. Once again the stylist assured me that she could give me a nice result. Also during the consultation we did decide that this service would be a partial bayalage. The day of the actual service I was so excited, and went over everything we discussed in the consultation and told this stylist that I didn't want to spend all this time in the chair to come out looking the same. The stylist again reassured me this would not be the case. A few moments into this foil session she then said I should do a full bayalage for a better result. I agreed to that and after over two hours of placing the foils, I realized there weren't many foils in my hair. I trusted the process though. After about 4.5 hours this stylist removed the foils, and my first thought my hair looks the same hardly any bayalage...The stylist then told me she could not dry my hair because she ran out of time. The stylist then passed me off to another stylist to dry my hair. When my hair was dry, it looked ok in the front (I was not shown the back or sides). It was not nearly what I discussed with the colorist and in fact it was everything I told her I didn't want...BUT it wasn't horrible, I could live with it and maybe next time she would get closer to what I really wanted. I paid almost $500. I got home and realized I wasn't shown the back or sides of my hair. Well no wonder WHAT A DISASTER IT WAS!!! The bayalage was only on the left side of my head, it looked like it had grown out for over a year and my grey was not blended. I quickly called the salon, sent photos and told the colorist she had to add foils to the right side of my head and blend them closer to my scalp. The stylist said she would not do that, that she would blend it with color glaze. I explained to her that this is improper and after 1 one wash the glaze would rinse out and I would still have the same problem. The colorist refused and asked me to come the following week. I decided not to argue with her and to let her see it in person. When the stylist saw it, she agreed it could be better and again I recommended adding more highlights to balance. Again she refused and wanted to cover it with glaze. I gave in, she wore me down. After the glaze the hair looked the same. She did the glaze again and it covered. At this point I wanted out of this hair hell. After one wash all the glaze fell out and the bayalage was still uneven and the highlights orange at my hairline and blonde on the ends. I had enough I emailed the owner and my god what a nightmare she was. She made me come in to see my hair and tried her best to gaslight me into believing my hair was fine. The owner never offered to have someone else fix it. I literally had to get worked up and angry with her for a refund. I have worked in hair salons for years and I understand the culture well, I was shocked by the horrible customer disrespect and disservice. Never have I had to ask for a refund for hair services in my 30 years of getting my hair colored. Beware of this place. Do not recommend! read more

I have been here twice and have seen 2 different stylists (Gabby and Beth). They have both done an AMAZING job. I have dark brown hair and balayage seems harder to perfect on brunettes, but both stylists made the blend look seamless. I asked for a neutral balayage (I have previously left the salon looking either too warm or too ashy) and I was extremely pleased with the result. I look forward to my appointments because aside from the hair services, the atmosphere of the salon is so calming. They offer refreshments such as wine, tea, and snacks. The front desk staff are also extremely responsive and kind. Some of the services seem a bit pricey ($100+ for a trim) but I think that part of what you pay for at Arsova is the luxury experience. I will continue to come here for my balayage as long as I live in Chicago. read more

I got a haircut at Arsova Salon for my recent trip to Spain, and it was a good experience! Beth was my stylist, and she did a fabulous job recommending a haircut that would suit my face shape. She was also very patient with any requests I had. Overall, the salon is clean and tidy. My appointment was booked for a Friday evening; however, the salon reached out earlier to ask if I could bump up my appointment. I was able to, and it worked in both our favors! Overall, it's a great salon and pretty reasonable as well. I can see myself coming back to this place! read more

I've been seeing Kara for a couple of years. She never disappoint, whether it's just a cut or color!

Absolutely loved my experience with Jena (@jenahartzhair)! I see her every few months for highlights, a cut, and style. She's super detail-oriented, makes me feel totally comfortable, and has completely transformed my hair. It's never been healthier (it used to be over-bleached and damaged) and she helped me find my dream color that looks natural and complements my features. Couldn't recommend her more! For reference I have mid-length, blonde, naturally straight hair. read more

Heaven at Arsova Salon is incredible! She really listens to what you're looking for and does an amazing job with color. Her highlights and balayage are absolutely beautiful, she's truly an artist. Super professional, bubbly, and such a joy to work with. I'm so glad I found her! read more

I got a last minute haircut with Beth and I am so happy with the haircut!! She took her time to observe my hair, needs and wants. She was also very informative about what to expect if I wanted certain ways of layering etc. She was very gentle and kind throughout the service and I felt very comfortable around her. Already got a couple compliments too and it's only been a couple hours. Thank you for bringing my hair back to life read more

Hailey is amazing at color!! I initially went to her for a consult and we talked in depth about exactly what I wanted. She literally nailed it. I could not be happier with how my color and tone turned out. I am so so so happy I found Hailey & Arsova! read more

I've been a loyal customer of Arsova Salon for over five years, spending thousands of dollars at both their current and previous locations. I've always had great experiences--until today. I booked a simple haircut with Eva Nanaj, a new stylist at the salon. I have extensions, and while not every stylist works with them for color, I've never had an issue getting a basic trim to even them out--especially at a salon I've trusted for years. I rearranged my entire schedule for this appointment, blocking off time specifically for this service. When I arrived, Eva initially seemed fine with the haircut I requested. But after stepping away to speak with the front desk, she returned and--in front of multiple people--announced she wouldn't take me as a client because of my extensions. Her tone and delivery were embarrassing and completely unprofessional, leaving me feeling humiliated and uncomfortable. The owner was kind enough to apologize, mentioning that Eva is new and that she would speak with her. She also offered me a free blowout as compensation. While I appreciate the gesture, the damage was already done. A salon of this caliber should ensure their stylists are trained to handle clients with professionalism and discretion, especially long-standing ones. I'm extremely disappointed by this experience. A simple haircut shouldn't turn into a public spectacle, and a stylist's lack of confidence or experience shouldn't be taken out on the client. I'll be reconsidering my loyalty to Arsova after this. read more

Hailey is absolutely amazing at her job! I went from fully blonde to brunette a few years ago and she is the only one I trust to add some dimension in my hair with it still feeling so natural. She specializes in blondes and is one of the bests I've been to for brightness! read more

It's really hard to find a hairstylist that you trust. Jordan at Arsova is literally so talented. He knows how to make your hair look good for your face shape, he's extremely thorough with his education, he is so fun to talk to, and I will never go to anyone else. I'm so thankful I found him! He is taking years off my face just with my cut alone. And he's also a great colorist! read more

I had my hair done here today & was in absolute awe from the moment I walked in the door. The salon energy felt warm and I felt welcomed, unintimidated and impressed by the level of professionalism. The woman at reception greeted me with a big smile as she checked me in and offered me a beverage before I could even sit down. The salon is stunning and roomy, yet still has a comfortable vibe with great ventilation;)... high ceilings, clean white walls and well placed (very clean!) stations / shampoo bowls set the tone for what was the best day at the salon I have ever had. They exceed the service standards for each client and you can tell there is pride taken in the quality provided by each stylist. I had color done by Blake after over 6 months of grow out, and I was left absolutely speechless. My dark brown grow out was perfectly blended into a beautiful neutral natural looking blonde. Blake is an EXPERT at lived in blonde, he was meticulous and skilled and took his time to make sure my hair looked better than it ever has, while also being the sweetest & most pleasant person to be in the presence of. Isabella cut my hair- roughly 4 inches and exactly how I wanted it. She was an absolute angel to chat with while she worked diligently on making sure every hair was perfectly in place. I have never felt better about my hair in my life!!! Both Blake & Isabella took the time to ask & genuinely listen to what my hair goal was while also, providing the feedback I was looking for. They were warm and personable. The amount of love and passion that they both have for hair comes out in their work. *while having my hair shampooed I had a view of all the stylist stations, and was able to watch every single person getting the same amazing treatment and service from every stylist on the floor today- you don't see that often! At the end of my appointment MY JAW WAS ON THE FLOOR and I felt like I was floating on cloud 9. Safe to say, I won't ever trust anyone but them with my hair again. Thank you Blake & Isabella. read more

I had a horrible balayage done from a very high end salon that quite literally ruined my hair. I did my research and found Keith who is one of the best in he city at balayage. I came to Arsova salon to see Keith as I heard he was one of the best balayage artists in Chicago. Keith quite literally saved my hair and life. I will never go to anyone else. If you need any balayage or want to look hot walking out of a salon and not be disappointed after paying a lot of money then you have to come to Keith. He listens to your needs, gives suggestions, and makes you look like the hottest/healthiest you have ever looked. read more

Hands down one of the best salon experiences i've ever had... Ladies if you are looking for balyage in Chicago please look no further than here. Not only is it a beautiful and welcoming salon experience, I watched numerous women coming in here with different textures/hair colors and all leaving with incredible balayages. Trust me when I tell you that it is 100% worth the money and time to get a dye job like this done right, and you won't go wrong here. I also could not recommend my hair stylist Ashlee enough. When I came in I had really piecey highlights with a drastic root line (see pictures). Ashlee looked at my hair/reference photos and immediately knew exactly what to do. She truly has a natural gift for understanding exactly what colors to mix and where to apply. Book her while you can because she just moved here and I'm sure someone that talented will soon be swamped. I left incredibly happy because I am no longer losing sleep/feeling insecure about my hair, which is huge. THANK YOU SO MUCH ARSOVA & ASHLEE! read more

First time coming here for a haircut and I loved my experience. I came all the way from Minneapolis and knew I wanted to get bangs but because I have wave hair I was doing tons of research on people who had experience with it. I called and asked if there was anyone that had experience with my type of hair, and then out everyone there does so I felt good about coming in. Megan was the person that took care of me and she did AMAZINGGGG!! I was so nervous about getting bangs. The last time I had bangs was when I was 5 & now I was getting them again, but I showed Megan the wispy bangs I wanted from Pinterest and that helped. I had a wash with my haircut and then she blow-dried my hair to cut it dry since I have curls. We started of slowly with a thin layer then added on more. She went on to style it and then used a flat iron. She cut more so that it would be even and we knew how it looked styled. The end result was awesome ! I completely love how I look and feel so good ! Megan was seriously amazing !I highly recommend her and will definitely come here again! read more

I've never spent over $65 for a woman's haircut before until now. This is definitely a high-end salon, which I found on Yelp. I was in dire need of a haircut and needed a closer salon to my place. As my hair stylist lightly puts it, I wouldn't want to go into the new year with split ends! The salon is pretty modern and has at least 6-8 stations. There are only two seats in the front waiting area, but I was able to snag one fortunately. There is also a couch further back in the salon. They have a wall of hair products for purchase on the right side while the reception desk is on the left. I booked a woman's haircut appointment with Noel based on Yelp recommendations. I love his honesty, sense of humor, genuineness, and laid-back attitude. He was also very helpful in giving me hair maintenance tips. Since I was allergic to aloe vera and most of their hair products contained that, Noel took time to search for shampoo and conditioner that didn't have it. I came into the salon with two pictures. One picture was a safe bet that looked similar to my current hairstyle while the other one was on the adventurous side (angled bob cut). Noel helped me in going for the safer bet because I like low maintenance hairstyles. The angled bob cut would have resulted in two floppy front ends if I didn't blowdry it properly. The result turned out great! Noel used scissors instead of a razor blade (*cough* Chinatown *cough*) to trim off hair in the front. My hair had bounce to it and felt lighter since he gave me more layers. The haircut can be $65, $80, or $100 depending on the hair stylist. Noel's regular rate is $80, but you receive 10% off as a first-time client with the Yelp check-in. read more

I called last minute to book a hair appointment and got in with Ariadni. I was so nervous because I only like a handful of people touching my hair. I asked her for a hair cut with long layers. She was able to wash,cut, and blow dry my thick course hair in under an hour. She copied the exact photo I had and made it look better than I could've imagined. She is extremely talented and super friendly! I'm so happy I tried her and will recommend her to friends and family! read more

I've been coming to Arsova for a few years now and I have to say, I've never found a salon more incredible! I haven't had a single bad haircut or color service at Arsova and I'm so grateful to my amazing stylist Ashley who time and time again always takes such good care of me. She is so professional, respectful, kind and takes the time to really listen to what I want. I get compliments about my balayage everywhere I go and it's all thanks to Ashley. She definitely knows how to make girl feel beautiful! :] If you're looking for a haircut, color or hair treatment, I would recommend checking out Arsova.

I really enjoy this salon. When I moved to Chicago, I realized that Arsova had good reviews and decided to try it out.

Had a great experience at Arsova Salon! I wanted to change up my hair and get some balayage to lighten things up. For those who don't know, balayage is when you freehand painting of highlights onto the hair. It is more subtle than highlights, so gives a softer more natural lightness in color to your hair. I easily scheduled an appointment in a few days and the staff was very professional. The salon is a mix of modern with industrial chic. Beautiful decor and very spacious. Everyone there was very nice and accommodating. Keith was friendly and helpful! I loved how my hair turned out so a big thank you to Keith! He even gave me some tips on hair care and curling my hair. Will definitely return to Arsova again sometime soon! read more

Keith has been cutting & styling my hair for 2 years and I followed him to this salon. So personal, professional, and very versitle. I typically get some basic angling with some layers in the back, but this time I wanted a big change to a short inverted bob. He listened to all my requirements (long enough to pull back into a pony tail, go along my natural part, easy maintenace). I've gotten so many compliment & will definitely continue coming back for Keith. read more

Disclaimer: I probably get my haircut once a year at best (I have historically gone to places in Chinatown, where you can get a semi-decent cut for $30 total including tip). The experience is very awkward if you do not speak fluent Cantonese and without a doubt, sheers are used to layer our thick hair. I found Arsova salon by yelping "Asian Hair Cuts." I reached out to the owner, and she recommended booking with Noel. I was able to get an appointment with no issue on their website. The salon is super chic and clean. Noel listened and got to know my fear of haircuts. He walked me through how to maintain my healthy hair and tips on styling too! I got about 5 inches off but I still feel like I have my long hair. All of the products were Oribe and he used a Dyson dryer, which definitely made this experience feel lux. Would highly recommend Noel for cutting and styling your hair! read more

Highly recommend this place for a balayage! Hanna was so wonderful! She was patient and listened to what I wanted while also making suggestions for what would be the best way to achieve that.

I moved to Chicago from DC and was so nervous about finding a good salon since I color my hair. I discovered Arsova a year ago and I am so happy that I did! Autumn has colored my hair for me twice and done a fantastic job both of times - she really goes out of her way to listen to what I want & makes sure we are on the same page prior to her doing anything to my hair. I have gotten so many compliments each time she has highlighted my hair & I always look forward to my appointments with her because she is always really pleasant to talk to! Most recently, Noel cut my hair today & it was my first time seeing him for a haircut but it won't be the last! He gave me a great haircut & the entire experience felt very relaxing - we also traded travel stories and he had me laughing the entire time. If you are looking for a great cut and/or color I can't recommend this salon enough - not to mention their new space is stunning! Thank you Arsova! read more

Arsova Salon - Hair Coloring - Full Highlights - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I got my hair colored at a salon in Ohio where I'm from and the highlights were so stripey and just made my brown hair a flat blonde shade that I just did not like at all. The steaks were especially pronounced when k put my hair up (the before pictures) and I knew I had to fix it since I was going to get getting married in two months. I had this salon recommended to me so I scheduled a free consultation with Kara and she was SO nice and helpful and really understood what I wanted. My schedule is very tight and she really worked with me to squeeze me in later that same day since she had some time. I am so happy I had her tone my hair!!! She turned me back into a brunette but left some lighter pieces by my face and throughout in a much more natural way that really complemented my skin tone. She absolutely turned my overly bleached hair into what I really wanted all along. I am so thankful I found Kara and this salon!! read more
