I don't go very often since it is far away from where I live now, but I always recommend her to others because she is really good, professional and patient. She speaks Spanish which is a plus to me since sometimes I did not know how to explain in english exactly what I wanted for my hair.

I totally got my hair cut here on a wing and a prayer after a Google search. But let me tell you,…read morethis is no horror story, this is a success story! I am totally obsessed with my hair! I came in not having cut my hair in two - yes TWO - years. I was partnered up with Milissa, who is just so kind to talk to. She really listened to my concerns about my hair but I was desperate for her opinion for my untamed locks, which she happily gave. In the end we wound up cutting off FIVE inches and it looks amazing! My hair is really able to harness its natural wave/curl now that it's shorter and everyone keeps telling me I look younger, so way to hit it out of the ball park Milissa! I will be back!

Emily cut my hair recently and I was very pleased with the cut and the service. I had one of those…read morebad hair days and scheduled an appointment that same afternoon. I came a few minutes early and was seen right away, with no wait. I asked Emily what she thought I should do with my hair and she said she really liked my current cut and suggested a trim, taking off a half-inch. I was pleased with her honest judgement: I had gotten a cut in Montreal a few months back and was very happy with the cut except it was overgrown. She trimmed it quickly yet skillfully, blow dried my coarse wavy hair into a flattering style and then trimmed and textured the ends so the cut lays well. Best of all, my hair looks great even when I don't heat-style it. Dried naturally, the waves are nicely layered and just seem to fall into place--a sign of a good cut. I've tried a lot of places in Elmhurst, but this is the first place where I've gotten a great cut at a reasonable price ($35 with first-time customer discount, not incl. tip). This isn't a cutting-edge, hyped up salon--it's a comfortable, relaxed place, mostly patronized by middle-aged moms like me (as far as I could tell from my weekday afternoon visit). No frills, easy-going, no blasting music, no product-pushing. Just a great cut and great service. I'll be back! Disclosure: I will receive a $20 discount (or 20%, I can't remember) for this review, but I'd give Emily and the salon five stars anyway!

The girls in the hair salon are creative, listen to client's needs and do great work. The esthetic portion run by the owner, Agnes, is my fav.

I moved out of state and whenever have chance visit the salon for pick me up. I rely on her expertise and trust her with all her recommendations. All her employees are skilled and highly trained.

My mother has been going here to get her hair done for years, and we only recently learned that the business owns the area two doors down from the salon (a small video stores sits in between the two salon locations), which is where the spa treatments are available. Now, there is only one manicure and one pedicure station available, so make an appointment! They have always done a fabulous job on my feet and hands, much better than the typical nail salons you see everywhere else. If you can handle having a hard time understanding accents at other salons (yeah, I'm generalizing here), you might as well come get your nails done at Extravagance. TRY IT. You'll pay a little bit more but be much more satisfied with the results, I promise. I don't do anything to my hair, ever, but my I'm sure if my mother was Yelper she would certainly recommend this place for your hair services as well. Oh, and when you're waiting to begin your appointment, you will be offered complimentary tea or coffee in some fancy teacups. Love!

The room and massage table were clean which I appreciate (unlike my previous experience at Element Massage where they didn't bother changing the face cover on the massage table, which caused it to smell strange). At this place, they were very timely and respected the time booked fairly. Natalia at the reception was very polite. The price is also better than the big chains (Element massage, Massage Envy or Hands and Stones). Overall I found they are a honest practice with good customer service.
