    I came to Effigy for a massive color correction after having my hair botched at another Elmhurst salon. I had my consultation with Gina Marie & she went over the steps it would take for the color correction and what she could do. I'm obsessed with the final result!! The color is gorgeous and Gina took the time and precision to create a gorgeous color. I'll definitely be a repeat customer! Booking was easy, the consultation was professional and not rushed. The service itself was professional and I'm very happy with my color. Gina is a color specialist! Highly recommend!

    I can't say enough about Ciara at Effigy! I've been going to her for about 4 years now and have gotten non stop compliments after every time I see her. She does an amazing job listening to exactly what I want and coming up with a plan on how to make it happen! I normally go blonde for the summer and darker in the fall/winter which can be a lot of damage to the hair, but Ciara makes sure to recommend products and spend extra time educating me on keeping my hair healthy. I'll never go anywhere else!

    I've been coming here for a very long time! I love my hair dresser-- Paty! She's AMAZING! Color, cut and works with curly hair! She understand my texture and is always helpful at explaining what she's doing, why and is very detailed when she explains benefits of following hair routines or applying products to maintain my hair nice and healthy.

    Desired Color

    Extremely disappointed. As a mother's day gift my sister and I took our mom in to get her hair done. When she was seated with stylist Ciara, we showed her pictures of the hair color our mom wanted. The desired hair was a chocolate brown color with some blonde highlights. This was supposed to be a major change to the hair color our mom had, blonde. Unfortunately, she ended up leaving the exact same. The hair stylist dyed our moms roots the chocolate brown and lightened some spots of the blonde color she already had. We paid $152 not including the tip, just to have her leave the exact same as she came in. I called the salon Tuesday to express how unhappy we were with the hair results and emailed the salon pictures of moms hair before, after as well as the desired hair look. The manager told us she would talk to the stylist and call back. Once the manager called me back she said that Ciara had said that we did not show her that inspiration picture. I explained to her how we did and she proceeded to say that my moms hair texture is not the same as the inspiration picture. We are very much aware that our moms hair is not the same texture, but the color itself was still not even close to what we had asked for. She then told me that she can make another appointment to fix our moms hair. We emailed the salon to make sure that it would be free of charge and received an email back confirming the service would be free of charge (see email below). It was to our surprise once we went in for the appointment on Thursday that we would have to pay an additional charge since what we wanted was a "different service". We were not planning to come back but agreed to the second appointment because assistant manager Alex Shaffer confirmed that the appointment would be free of charge. I asked for a detailed receipt of our last visit and to my surprise I was charged for foiled highlights even though the stylist did not use one piece of foil on my moms hair. The leadership team went with the miscommunication excuse because of the language barrier with our mom. My sister and I went to the appointment and speak perfect English and Spanish. It was not miscommunication because there was no communication at all. Ciara did not communicate anything regarding the hair process. On thursday Alex kept going on and on about the hair process my mom desired explaining that it would take multiple sessions to achieve the look. This should have been communicated in the initial appointment by the stylist. We received a full refund after denying the second service.

    My first time here. Everyone was super nice; offered me a beverage which I didn't take because of covid. I got a simple trim of an inch of my fine hair, blunt cut without any layers, and blow dry cost about $90 ($75 plus tip). I felt it was grossly overpriced especially with the end result of me looking the exact same. The hair wash took about 2 mins tops, no massage. My stylist didn't ask for feedback throughout the process whether it's a good length or not. She just said let's dry it and see how it looks. Before I knew it we were done. Also didn't ask how I wanted to style my hair, I just kind of got a blow dry which I can do at home. I probably could have spoken up but it was all over very fast. I asked a few times about remedies for my dry/oily scalp and frizzy bottom of hair, but didn't get any recs. The whole thing took 20 mins. So if you're in a hurry, this is your place. I would say I got a somewhat below average service for a high price.

    Thank you Lexi and Effigy for making my hair the best it has been in years! Here is a before and after with my extensions in.

    I have been going to Effigy since March 2016 when I got a recommendation from a friend to go see Lexi for my dream catchers extensions. I have been getting my color done by her as well, and I have to say: my naturally thin and previously damaged hair has never looked so good!! Thank you Lexi for nursing my hair back to health! I love the confidence that I have with my gorgeous dream catchers, but on top of that is the great feeling of knowing that my 'real' hair is growing, getting healthier and looking the best it has in years. I had extensions years ago that actually damaged/ ripped my hair out - I could never imagine that my hair would actually be getting longer and healthier while having extensions in! Again, thank you Lexi! Frank (the owner), Lexi, and all the staff I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with are genuinely friendly, accommodating, and just lovely people!! The salon itself is gorgeous and I love going there. Would highly recommend.

The shampoo room is literally designed like a mini spa and it is heavenly! Fringe has curly cuts for curly hair and I have also had great color services done here. The one thing I always struggle with here is scheduling, you do have to book pretty far in advance and often I have a really hard time getting a time in the evenings or on weekends. Most available times seem to be during regular working hours which is hard for those with a 9-5. But would definitely recommend Fringe for a great hair appointment and relaxing spa experience. BONUS! They have fresh baked goods and free infused or sparkling water!
