This was my first haircut with Kirsten and she was amazing! I was making a big change from simple shoulder length hair to a short assymetrical cut and it turned exactly how I had hoped. My hair is pretty thick, so it took longer than expected, but she stuck with it and gave so much attention to detail to make sure she got it right. I love it and I'm excited to have a stylist I can count on to listen and give input and help me create my vision. Thank you :) read more

It wasn't a great experience with Lizzy. It got off to a bad start when I sat at the front for 15 whole mins before she came up.. she wasn't working on another client, was just in the back or something. If you can't start at the scheduled time you can at least greet the customer or let them know you'll be with them shortly.. Not to mention the other stylists saw me come in and sit there for 15 mins without saying a word or acknowledging me at all. I was just about to walk out when she came to get me but I decided to let it go and give her a chance since I really needed a hair cut and have been searching for a salon, as I am new to the area. Right off the bat, she was not even remotely friendly or welcoming, no apology for the wait. Frankly, she acted like it was a pain that I was there for a service. The haircut itself wasn't the worst.. not great but passable.. but the shampoo was horrible. Very rough, soaked my shirt. She rinsed out the shampoo and told me we were done. I was paying attention closely because of how bad the shampoo was going so I know she didn't do conditioner. I asked about conditioner and she argued that she did it but if I wanted it to sit on my head for second she would do it. I assured her that she hadn't done that step but she rudely argued again.. pretty unprofessional and embarrassing to do in front of other stylist and customers. I have had worse haircuts but the service and attitude of the team is why I won't be back. read more

Recently got my hair cut there. The lady did a hack job on my hair. I showed her an inspiration pic which my hair doesn't look at all like it. Both sides have uneven layers with layers cut as high as my eyes! My hair looks so thin and completely unevenly cut. Horrible experience. read more

Chrysalis Salon & Spa - Actual hair cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Oswego, Illinois

Got a great hair cut and style from Gloria. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it! She was respectful of my time, texting me well ahead of time that she was running 15 minutes late. I really appreciate that. Price was reasonable, salon is very clean and staff is friendly. read more

I went to this salon myself and loved it. First I had Lizy and she did a great cut for me. I came back and another women did a balayage for me and a cut and it was great! It is a little bit pricey but I did look around and it's not unreasonable for the average in the area. So when my mother called me saying my 14 year old niece wanted to try highlights for her first time ever, I recommended this salon and based on the availability we booked an appointment with lizy again and I both wrote in the appointment what was to be done as well as spoke to her personally. My mother wasn't able to come with my niece herself but my father went with her. He has zero knowledge when it comes to hair and my mother really should have gone but we had explained what was to be done so should be simple right? Wrong. While they were there my niece was talked into a Full foil highlight (this was not what was explicitly discussed nor was it allowed and was Much more expensive. My niece was not paying for this herself). She was also talked into toner - something which was added on at extra cost when it's normally just part of the process at Any other salon Ive ever been to and I wouldn't have recommended it for her anyhow. Plus she was charged extra for a blow dry for having longer hair and was not told it would cost extra for this. Usually if you're getting your hair processed, drying it is also part of the job to ensure everything came out correctly. I understand if you do it different, ok, but you need to explain things you charge extra for before doing it. Especially if that client is a 14 year old girl who has no idea what's normal or not. I truly feel my niece was taken advantage of. Her mother and my mother are both Very upset about this and feel the same. If the parents aren't there you need to do what was discussed. Period. If you aren't sure you need to call and get the ok first. This isn't an adult this is a child. This stylist has lost out on the money she would have made from so many more future appointments she could have had because she decided to take advantage of a 14 year old girl. I did text her before posting this as well Im not an animal. I am however, very disappointed to be writing this review. I really liked this salon. It's too bad. My last appointment (with another stylist) is my sole reason for 2 instead of only 1 star. read more

2 stars because the business has nothing to do with the stylists = 2 different things. 1st appointment with lizzy, good. 2nd appointment.... definately way no. Inspiration pic both visits AND clear communication of growing it out. I left with hair way too short, completely uneven length ALL AROUND on all sides, an obvious HOLE CHUNK on left side of my hair behind my ear, unbalanced making it VERY difficult to style. I have 2 different haircuts on my head. Its ruined. Looks like a 4yo took did this cut with crayola scissors. I text her very diplomatically and mature, Suggested she might want to look at this. No call, no text back, nothing. Ignored. VERY unprofessional on Lizzys part. It appears lizzy doesn't take doing hair seriously or care about her clients at all. Some sort of response to what this is is not much to ask. She chose to do nothing. No. I do not suggest Lizzy or Chrysalis read more

Beautifully impressive spa and salon. Professional and warm staff. Stylist Jovana is truly talented and skilled at what she does. You will not be disappointed when you leave here ! I can't say enough good things about the salon and staff!! There is no where like this around ! -update: I got a facial with Juli yesterday. It was great ! My skin feels amazing and looks amazing. Juli educated me on my skin and preventative measures for hyper pigmentation. Can't wait to go back for my peel ! read more

I love how Lizy cuts and colors my hair. She always understands the look I am trying to achieve, she is very friendly and easy to talk to. The first time I was scared of going lighter, but she got the perfect color that went well with me. read more

1st time visiting Chrysalis for a hair cut, and I am very happy to say I am very satisfied with my cut, I had Janae as my stylist and she listened to my concerns and gave me advices she was a great listener and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you! read more

Gloria did an amazing job with my hair! I have thicker and long hair! She did amazing! I did a treatment and it smoothed my hair beautifully. When I went with her my hair had dry ends now is healthy and manageable. The best part is she knows how to do beach waves !!!! Without the curly iron! It looks so natural. People I went to do my hair before in Naperville. they always used the curly iron and my hair was so puffy. So happy I found a good hairstylist in my area read more

This was my first facial so I don't have much to compare it to- hence only four stars. I was able to schedule a facial with Juli within a few days of calling. Turns out, taking care of your skin is important so I was needing a clean slate and some extractions. I was greeted nicely by Juli's partner; she took my coat and grabbed me a glass of water. The actual facial was great. Juli was great at explaining the process and letting me know what I could do to alleviate some issues. She uses a line of products but did not push them on me. The experience was soothing and she made great conversation. My skin looks great! I hope to return again to make this a 5 star review. read more

Came here for a no chip gel manicure and was very disappointed. Don't remember her name but the lady who does nails there only has about 10 colors to choice from which is insane. Every nail place I have ever been to has at least 50 different colors. Some have over 100. So I picked a color I didn't even like. When I mentioned to her that I wouldn't come back unless she got more colors she said she would try to do that. She was very nice and talkative but my nails looked like shit to be blunt. One was crooked and the paint job was horrible. Even my fiancé who knows nothing about nails made a comment on them. They might be good for hair but not for nails! I will not go back and I have found a new place to go to! read more

This place is amazing! I had a wedding to attend and Becky was personable, friendly, understanding, and upbeat!! Give her a call. You will not regret it! !!! You have at your disposal, estheticians, cosmetologists, massage therapists, nail technicians, not to mention a tranquility room for spa parties! Go go go to this place! read more

Terrible Booking Experience. My teen daughters wanted hairstyle changes, so I went online and requested next day appointments with 2 stylists, selecting available time slots for both. One was declined within a couple of hours, with an apology for double booking. I called and left a message with the salon to see if anyone else would be available at that time. No reply. My second appointment was declined at 10:30am the day of the appointment, with no reason given. Rude, rude, rude. Clearly they don't want our business. read more

I decided to try the salon based on a glowing review from a friend. I called and left a voicemail. They did not bother to return my phone call....unprofessional! read more

I recently reached out to try and get an appointment with Jovanna. She responded- asking who it was, but then completely ignored my request for an appointment- not even being respectful enough to respond. This is not a good way to do business and I fully intend to let everyone I know know to stay away. Sadly, this isn't the first time I have been blown off by Jovanna before- clearly she doesn't need the business. read more

I tend not to get haircuts very often....partially since I like my long hair and never seem to get a decent haircut that I am happy with when I leave the salon. I also never get a good blow out and for the price I typically pay for cuts I want to walk out of the salon not having to go home and tend to frizzy hair. Today I got a cut from Becky at Chrysalis and happy to say I like my hair and it looked good walking out of the salon. Becky also gave a great shampoo with a head massage that was an added perk. read more

Janea is the best hairstylists in this place. She's young, but she knows what she's doing. The only problem they have is their prices are high and they don't send coupons b/c the girls there work independently. Other than that... the place is always super clean and good atmosphere. read more

So far I have only been to this salon for waxing and facials with Lenka. Lenka is an amazing patient person. The staff are warm and welcoming. I highly recommend it. read more

Wendy is great with color and cuts. She is always studying the new trends and goes the extra mile. She even found the best gluten free hair color for me. She understands allergies and will work with you to give you a great experience! Salon is clean and the stylists rent their chairs so prices are affordable. read more

Jovana is not only a master stylist but the owner as well! Book ur appointment with her, u will not regret it! She will listen and go over all of ur options and deliver! I love my hair every time! read more

I am very disappointed that this salon double dips! I love the salon but this is unacceptable. I won't be returning.

I love Jovana and have been seeing her for over 5 years! She does a great job and listens to what I want. She is great at suggesting new styles if I want to change up my normal look. She also does amazing highlights! read more

My daughter and I both go the Chrysalis. We see Juli to have our eyebrows waxed and she is a licensed ethsetician too. She is friendly and outgoing and always has a smile on her face. She is wonderful with my daughter too and it is always a relaxing afternoon for us. read more

I just left the salon and what a mistake! My normal girl was completely booked at my salon so I decided to give Janea at Chrysalis a try and I will NEVER go back. I got there early for my 1pm appointment. I could tell she was moving slowly since it took her 20 mins to mix my color. Before she started I told her I needed to leave by 3:30 to pick my kids up from school. It took her 2 1/2 hours to do the color. She was barely done with my cut so I left with wet hair! She still charged me full price and never offered any apologies. Well, I just finished blow drying my hair at home and it is an godawful mousy brown color all over even though my appointment was for a highlights/lowlights partial. At the time I walked in for my appointment, I was light blonde. I wish I could get the last 5 hours of my life back and my $118.00! I wish I didn't have to give this one any stars. Now I see I have to sign up and post this so I'm sure this review will "disappear" read more

For the longest time I struggled with stubborn, embarassing acne. I spent years trying to get it to go away and I tried almost all pharmaceutical grade topical and antibiotic ointments and retinols to try to get rid of it and it never seemed to work and always left my skin dry, irritated and worse than before. The last thing my doctor wanted to try was accutane which I refused to take because of its liver toxicity. So I was left with nowhere else to go but here. So, needless to say I was very skeptical of booking an appoinment for a facial. When I went in I was surprised by how nice the location is and even more surprised to have met such a friendly esthetician, Cindy. She truly does a wonderful job making you feel comfortable and relaxed but also gives you a wide variety of samples to try out at home. Within ONE SESSION, the inflammation on my skin and previous blemishes were gone after a couple of days. Everything she uses is organic and natural so it doesn't leave your skin feeling dry or irriated. The first time she used a hungarian herbal mud which literally did wonders for my skin. After just two sessions with Cindy, I'm starting to see a huge improvement in my skin after just several weeks which is incredibly fast to see such a huge improvement. To this day, I am so beyond grateful to have met her! She is a life changer! read more
