    Great lengths extensions, blunt cut, platinum root touch up.
    Anjelika K.

    I found the salon when I moved to the suburbs. I love this place. Jamie is my go to! She always does the best job! Whether it's fixing a bad hair dye from a prior salon to my first time with extensions. I have touched up my roots with her from platinum to trying highlights. Jamie is amazing, I can show her a picture and she will know exactly what I want. I have tried many different salons and stylists abroad and in IL but nothing beats Jamie. Jamie put in the great lengths extensions and they lasted 6 months I never felt them and they stayed stayed prefect through the months. Everyone at the salon is super friendly!

    I am so concerned with businesses following protocol with covid going around so I was a little worried going to get my hair done. These ladies are just wonderful and are all so nice. Glad to see them wearing masks and keeping customers safe! Not to mention this salon is SO CLEAN and BEAUTIFUL! LOVE my hair!

    First I want to say this place is beautiful and my stylist, Nicolette, was very nice. However, when I came in (for my first time recommend by a friend) her previous client was still there unfinished with a TON of hair. I have very fine hair and was getting a balayage. As my blonde was processing Nicolette was over finishing the other client. Needless to say she didn't put any color on my roots.... they are now orange and my natural color which is a dark dirty blonde. It's almost like she ran out of time. But my blonde is SOOOO over processed if feels like cotton, I can pull my ends off when it's wet, and she left it a bright yellow color. I have probably lost half my hair since my appointment. And I'd cut it all off but I'm getting married in a few months. When I called crying the next day they were open, they only offered me a deep conditioning treatment. I wish Nicolette would have just let me know how damaged my hair was before I left so we could have tried to come up with a solution. Not to mention I was charged $220. Overall, I'm really disappointed because they came recommended, and seem to get a ton of love on social media. I think this was really just an accident and I understand things like this happen. That being said, I think I should have been offered more than a deep conditioning treatment post my hair frying. Therefore they get a 1 star for damaging my hair sooo much and for bad customer service after the fact.

    I had been looking for a new salon/stylist for some time, and unfortunately, the search continues. While everyone at Elle Salon was exceedingly friendly, and the space in beautiful, the work was subpar and overpriced. I asked for a root touch up and highlight refresh. I spent almost 5 HOURS at the salon, including waiting almost an hour for my stylist to finish up with other clients. Sadly, after she finished, it just didn't turn out quite like I had requested. Spotty, roots exposed, grays not covered. In fact, after she got done doing everything, I had a huge patch up gray right in front of my head. I had to argue with her that it wasn't "blended" correctly. I felt she begrudgingly slapped some dye on my head on the spot (leaving a big blotch of unblended dye on my part) and then left me sitting for 45 minutes without even checking on me once. I was so disappointed I went back to have it corrected the next day. She did the work and did not charge me, but for the $300 price tag, I was less than pleased. My honest thoughts? It seems they do one particular style well. Long, layered, blonde balayage. I say this, because there were no less the 8 other clients getting this done. I asked for strawberry blonde on a short choppy 'do, and everything just kinda fell apart from there. I don't think I fit their clientele model. Also, I left with a blinding headache after both visits from all of the pulling of my hair. I seriously worried that I might have a bald spot as my stylist was so rough while washing and styling my hair. I think there are likely other salons in the area that will treat my hair and requests with a bit more respect.

    Meh... I used to go to this salon but stopped for well, it's expensive. If i'm going to pay that much money to a business I'd rather have a nicer hair stylists and owner to support. They all dress like they live in CA, it's a very uncomfortable feeling almost cringey in a way. Good thing I found a more inclusive salon that I like! There's a lot of options in the Elgin area i didn't know about!

I've been seeing Julie for a few years now and she's always given the best-in-class service leaving me looking and feeling great. Aside from the high-quality job her prices are super competitive compared to big brand names and commercial enterprises who offer the same within the area and charge twice as much and take twice as long. That being said, it's a no-brainer to go with Julie as her skill is in a top-tier class all on its own. Aside from this, Julie is very personable, and it feels like interacting with a friend for a more humanized experience vs something transactional as just another customer/client. This adds a layer of personal touch thus she makes you feel understood with a more consultative approach to understanding human relations as much as she knows the technicalities of her services and skin care itself. Which is a great foundation of Face Value Beauty Bar being so successful. All in all, if you're reading this then without a doubt, I highly recommend Julie for your waxing and skin care needs. You'll love the outcome of the services you get, how you look, and how you feel! I 100% guarantee it!

This was the worst service I've had since my early days at European Wax Center, and I actually left my appointment crying. I had booked my usual Brazilian + butt cheeks. Last week, I called to reschedule and learned--only because I called--that the waxer I've been seeing for the past year was no longer there. Management never informed me ahead of time, which I found unprofessional. When I rescheduled, I was told there were two other stylists available, so I agreed to book with anyone. When I arrived, I found out mid-appointment that my waxer had only started a week ago. She was very nice personality-wise, but the process was extremely messy--sugar in my hair, on my legs, all over the table, and on my clothes. She went over the same area 10-15 times, causing intense pain and burning. The service, which normally takes 20-30 minutes, dragged out to an hour and 15 minutes. I left sticky, covered in powder, and feeling awful. When I got home, I discovered I was bleeding, raw, and still had numerous hairs left. I immediately called and went back today for a "retouch" with Kristin. She was kind, professional, and quick--exactly how it should have been the first time. At checkout, I brought up the situation and requested a refund for yesterday's service. Unfortunately, the front desk employee was too new to process it, so I was told management would call me. As of now, I'm still waiting for that call. I used to love coming here, but all the skilled waxers seem to be gone, and management's lack of communication and follow-up is disappointing. For such a personal and vulnerable service, clients deserve to feel safe, respected, and cared for. Sadly, I can no longer recommend this location.

I have been here a total of 3 times, the first two times being great experiences and this third being my final and worst. Don't bother using their online appointment system. The manager was upset I accidentally made two appointments as they don't have a cancel or reschedule option. I put a note in the second appointment saying I needed to reschedule to later, as I called earlier and the salon was closed/no answer. He berated me at the salon saying "no, call, you make two appointments and we can't see notes in our system" so why have a note option online at all? Pricing is not transparent and honestly they are a little shady with it. I booked an appointment for a gel fill in, and knew I'd probably pay more to get an acrylic put on as one of my nails broke. During the service, the technician wasn't very talkative and not helpful when I asked what color (between two colors) would not match too closely to my skin tone as I didn't want that. I really don't like how my nails came out. At the end, he charged me for a full manicure on top of the gel fill-in, acrylic tip, and cat eye. My total was $75 when I only came in for a gel fill in & I understand the cat eye is more. I didn't ask for a manicure and he definitely didn't ask me if I would like one for an additional charge. I'm not going back to this salon, as I rather spend that much money for an owner/manager who values his customer and doesn't seem to have an attitude at every single remark. Also, I don't appreciate shady businesses adding services and charging you at the end because obviously I'll pay for it being done but I didn't ask for it so how is that fair?
