    Sandra is a doll! She took time to listen to my goals and ideas for my hair and shared a wealth of her knowledge and expertise with me. I went in for a cut and partial color the other day and she gave my dull, lacking hair some much needed dimension and life. Her work was well-suited, flattering, and instantly felt like a healthier head of hair! Definitely looking forward to my next visit with her. (Updated Sept 2019) I've been going to Sandra for a year now. I'm one of those girls that seem to bounce around from different salons, in search for a gal or guy that I can totally trust -- but Sandra has locked me down! She provides wonderful advice about styling and upkeep and is always so considerate about your own vision/ideas for your hair. I appreciate these small, kind things and I am sure I will be here at Mane for many more visits to come! Check out the new color she gave me (after I had a dark semi-permanent put in from months ago)

    I rarely leave reviews but I need to for this. First of all, the cleanliness and steps they are taking for safety are so awesome! Secondly, Christine is AMAZING!! I have been going to the same girl for my hair for 10 years and then moved so was in search of someone new. Went to another place downtown and felt like the girl really didn't listen to me. During my consultation, Christine took so much time with me explaining everything and she actually LISTENED to me. I decided on a pretty drastic change for myself, to cut my hair into a bob. My hair is very thin and fine so I was so worried about it. A lot of times people say they understand the texture of my hair but they really don't (or don't know what to do with it/how to style it). Well, Christine did SUCH A GREAT JOB. Not only cutting it, but coloring it too (I'm pretty blonde). She wasn't pushy, she listened, and did essentially exactly the Pinterest picture I showed her! haha I am SO happy with my hair and overall it was a great experience! Thank you, Christine and Mane Salon! :)

    Blonde achieved by Rae September 2021

    I was recommended to this salon by a friend and typically don't do Yelp reviews, but i am so happy with my hair and experience i wanted to share the review. Rae turned my hair back to its blonde brilliance in a healthy way and gave a great consult beforehand. I have typically always been a blonde, after a decision to have my hair colored dark 6 months ago i didnt have much hope of returning back to my normal look. Rae took her time and processed the lift very slowly to maintain my hairs health and lifted nearly everything that what was left of my brown color. 10/10 and a great welcoming environment. Thank you staff of Mane!

    Hair before going to Mane

    I had the most AMAZING experience at Mane Salon. Previously at a different salon, my hair was over bleached (10 time....was at the salon for 12 hours). My hair thinned out so much (I was lucky I didn't go bald!). I was pretty sad since I knew I had to grow out my healthy hair and possibly stop coloring. Then I came to Mane and sat down with Alex. She was very very thorough with asking me what I wanted and also asked how my hair regiment was. Together, we figured out a color and Alex educated me so much on how to take care of this new color and my hair in general. I cannot explain how comfortable the salon made me feel and especially how comfortable and personable Alex is. I highly recommend Mane Salon!!!

    Miracle work! From brassy two toned blonde to an amazing textured blonde balayage by Tracy!
    Ashley-Linda A.

    I WITNESSED A MIRACLE AT MANE SALON!! TRACY... you are seriously the MVP of the year! She SLAYED MY BLONDE BALAYAGE! I went to LA last year and paid $500 for a blonde balayage. It was OK but nothing to write home about. Tonight.. Tracy sat with me and asked me what I would like. I, like everyone else, pulled up a million pictures I found on Instagram of every frosted blonde balayage! She took the time to walk me through the process and set expectations. Hours later.... BAM! WHAT?! IS THIS MY HAIR?OMG?! I LOOK LIKE THE GIRLS ON INSTAGRAM! THIS IS AN AMAZING BLONDE BALAYAGE! I literally could cry from happiness. I FINALLY have the hair color I have ALWAYS WANTED! I am more of a photographer than a writer. My review does no justice! This girl is GOOD! AND WHILE I don't want to tell everyone so she is not booked when I call, she deserves to be praised for her amazing work!

    I'll let the picture speak for itself. This is Jessie's version after two attempts for an ashy blonde. The second she was washing out the toner and asked if I had time to come back next week before I even had a chance to see it , I knew then this wasn't gonna be good. Her exact words " I always try to tone to something livable in the meantime " Livable?? Not really the look I'm after...It's horrible!! This is the fix? She seems to lack confidence which results in her over stepping her words and ultimately made me feel super uncomfortable with her condescending words. Oh, and the owner? Nowhere to be found. I've never disputed a credit card charge in my life. Not even sure how the process works! But I will find out when I call my bank tomorrow morning. This is also my first yelp review! I have never wanted to leave a bad review for any business on yelp or anywhere for that matter. I'd like to consider myself a fair and honest person! But Silvia! after numerous attempts reaching out to you looking for a resolution you've chosen to outright disregard your customers. It's incredibly RUDE! Most importantly, this has nothing to do about money and everything to do about principle. What a shame to see a salon that once was great come down to this. There's one girl left. ONE. Says a lot...If you don't care about your employees, I shouldn't be surprised you don't give a sh*t about your customers. Bravo, Mane! Btw, the girls are down the street at RUUM if you're looking for em'!

    Moved from Hawaii and needed an amazing colorist and luckily I found one! I got Tracy and she did an amazing job with my hair color. Normally being Asian and having very dark black hair that has been color treated many times- not many want or know how to do a good job with the picture I present. She not only made my hair look amazing, it also felt healthy. The price is a little steep but all in all it was worth it. I will definitely have her only working on my hair. She put in so much detail and work that I couldn't rave about her more to everyone. Thank you again Tracy. See you in near future appointments.

    Marina is the best! I've been seeing her for a few years now for haircuts and am always so happy when I leave. I followed her to Mane Salon when she moved here from a previous salon! It's always a super low stress, fun experience to see Marina- I give her very little direction and she always knows what to do (trim, shape, layering, etc.) to make my hair look great. The salon itself is beautiful too and they use great products. As an extra bonus- everyone that works there is super friendly!

    Just figured I could throw out some visuals of before and afters now that I'm at the blonde I want!!! It took about 6 months - but I love love love my hair. Christine worked magic - and was very upfront about the time, cost, etc. I mean, it's definitely going to cost you and I do suggest buying the products recommended to keep your hair in good shape throughout the entire process, but it was so so so so so worth it! I have difficult hair to begin with that didn't want to be blonde and now it's gorg, blonde, and still healthy!

    Before, I didn't realize how orange and brassy my hair really was until I looked at this picture.

    There is an old adage: you get what you pay for and in the case of having a beautiful balayage treatment done by Chantelle, it is 100% true. Worth. Every. Single. Penny. (heads up: it's not inexpensive). I'm giving Chantelle at Mane Salon a glowing 5-star review because she exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable by: 1. Having great communication; 2. Being extremely thorough; 3. Amazing artistry; 4. Honesty; 5. Overall, fun, bubbly personality; and 6. Mane is a very posh salon. TIP: I highly recommend purchasing the protective treatments as well as the take-home treatment, a good sulfate-free shampoo, hair mask such as the Kerastase and Moroccan oil to maintain a silky, smooth sheen to your freshly color-treated hair, which without the correct products, could feel like a broomstick (if you don't, consider yourself warned). 1. GREAT COMMUNICATION. I told Chantelle that my hair has a tendency to turn orange and I wanted ashy blonde highlights to counteract the brassiness. Chantelle actively listened to my concerns and educated me about what she thought she could realistically achieve in one session in order to manage my expectations. Further, she conveyed to me that she thought my skin tone would not complement the greyness of ashy hair, which I truly appreciated. However, she suggested that she could achieve a compromise between the ashy blonde I wanted and a way to keep the tone complementary to my darker complexion. She also told me in advance her color placement strategy before she implemented it. 2. EXTREME THOROUGHNESS. In total, it took Chantelle 6 hours to complete styling my long, thick hair (it was my birthday and she knew I wanted to look extra special for my dinner plans that evening). She worked through my head and brushed each small section with expert deliberate precision so that whether my hair is styled straight or curled, the dimensional highlights and darker strands were integrated as if I had been sun kissed -- the underlying premise of the balayage technique. 3. AMAZING ARTIST. I cannot adequately convey how stunning Chantelle's workmanship is on my hair. I can't stop looking at myself because she did SUCH an amazing job transforming my hair from brassy orange undertones to radiant blonde sunkissed streaks. The pictures speak a thousand words and attest to why it's worth EVERY PENNY to go to someone who has the artistic vision to bring out the absolute best aesthetic version of your hair. She made me feel like a million bucks! 4. HONESTY. Sometimes you feel like you're being sold services that you don't need and this is something that I never appreciate. Chantelle was very good at conveying to me what products she recommended to maintain the structural integrity and softness of my hair despite it being so heavily color treated. 5. FUN PERSONALITY. 6 hours can seem extremely treacherous to sit around and have your hair done; however, Chantelle's extremely bubbly and upbeat personality made all the difference. It felt like I was hanging out with a friend who happened to be doing my hair for 6 hours. She is extremely easy to talk to. 6. POSH SALON. Mane Salon is definitely a posh salon and has very modern, eclectic decor. The products available range from Keraste to Oribe to Moroccan Oil, to a few other brands I've never heard of. The customer service is impeccable, starting with a great receptionist and friendly stylists who all seemed like a supportive team. If you've never colored your hair, need it to be corrected, or anything in between, I highly recommend going to Chantelle at Mane Salon. I simply cannot say enough glowing things about my absolutely fabulous experience with her. I have literally found my holy grail hair stylist (I'm not the only one; her hair extension clients from Utah literally fly to Chicago because she is THAT talented)! You will NOT be disappointed! I'm finally at the place where I am delighted with the color of my hair and ready to maintain it (previously, I had this addictive compulsion to go lighter or change it up because it just didn't seem like the right color).

    Fresh cut by Alex at Mane!
    Bree H.

    I recently had my hair cut by Alex who is a manager and stylist at Mane and I couldn't be happier! She let me ramble about my ideas for the cut I was looking for while giving really helpful feedback and suggestions for products without being pushy. Ultimately, I totally trusted her judgement and style....she did not disappoint. I felt super relaxed and comfortable in her chair. I haven't had color done by her but I've seen her work and it's brilliant. She's definitely my gal when the time comes to change things up! Mane is a really cool salon with friendly staff and an overall modern/fun vibe. I highly recommend Alex as your stylist. You can tell she loves what she does...she's personable, professional and dedicated to her craft!

    Mane Salon gave me the pick me up I needed! I'm a new mom and I've put off getting a haircut for the longest and as the picture can show, I was WAY over due for one. It's so hard to find any me time with an 8month old crawling around everywhere. My haircut was just what i wanted & more. I love that my stylist took the time to listen to my wants and needs. I got to keep my length and maintenance will be nice and easy for me! Besides the amazing cut, it's great atmosphere and very clean. Thank you Salon Mane!

    christine is WOW! she knows exactly what I want when I described what I have in mind! I always get a lot of complements from her work!

    Sonia Roselli's studio has done hair/makeup for two of my friends' weddings, so when I got engaged,…read moreit was a no-brainer that I would use this place: I wanted the absolute best. I have to say, while I was ultimately pleased with the way things turned out in the end, my experience didn't go according to plan. First, my stylist (who was awesome overall) arrived almost half an hour late. I understand that her Uber broke down, but no one called to communicate this to me on the morning of the wedding, and I was FREAKING OUT and had to run around trying to track down someone from Sonia's salon, which I was finally able to do, but it was super stressful. Hair and makeup ultimately came out great, but initially when I looked at my hair in the mirror I was not at all pleased, as it looked NOTHING like the photos I had given my stylist for reference. As she had run late, I didn't say anything because there wasn't time to fix it. It's also true that I didn't do a trial, which could have helped, but for the huge amount of money I was already paying and the fact that my ceremony was a small Chicago elopement, it didn't seem worth the price ($195 PER SERVICE, so over $400 with tip). Also, throughout the time my stylist was working on me, I kept asking if we'd be done on schedule and she kept assuring that we would be, but she ended up running about half an hour over, so everything about my wedding was delayed by 30 minutes as a result, including the ceremony itself. Everything turned out well as I was pleased with the look once I put my dress on, but overall I was not happy with the way everything went down. For that high cost, I expected the highest possible customer service, which this place did not deliver.

    Researching & trying to pick a great professional makeup & hair stylist for a wedding is a big task…read moreof its own. I've researched for hours trying to pick the best of the best, and I've had my share of MUA/hairstylists in the past who left my face looking raccoon-like & my hair in weird bouffant & frizz ball. I am very particular because if I'm going to commit to pay a pretty steep amount for trials & actual session, it had to be good. Couple of my gf's had their bridal makeup/hair from Sonia Roselli staff so I had some expectations. If I had any worries, Bridgit was quick to address them & offer her advice. (She was great!) pros: * communication with the Manager, Bridgit was great & she was quick to answer any questions, concerns, & was a big help with arranging the trials and rescheduling if necessary. * the two ladies I worked with were lovely & had a great personality. (Korena-hair & Sami-makeup) *korena: she gave me the look that I asked for. I probably would change up the 'do since it didn't flatter my face, but she was great. Cons :( * sigh...... Woah, the makeup. I really feel bad for saying anything because Sami is a doll. But that makeup was not good nor flattering. I was excited because she's a pro at lash extensions/falsies, but after our 2.5-3 hour session, I didn't care for the lashes. With my monolids, it's difficult to create the same dramatic look as others, but when I came home to a better & bright lighting, my mom & sisters reaction said it all. "Omg linda.... You look exhausted, what happened to your eyes ?!? " I proceeded to the bathroom & saw that all the taupe eyeshadow was smothered underneath my eyes. My family knows how much I love makeup & the look that I love, but they exclaimed that I cannot walk down the aisle looking like that. For my wedding, I want to look elegant, but fresh & beautiful. Sadly, the complete look wasn't executed to my expectations. Who knows ?? I may have a better chance with a different artist, but after that long session & talking to Bridgit about my woes, I think I'm going to move on.

We did a hair and makeup test run a few months before the wedding. After the appointment Nika sent me a detailed summary of the look they created and products used. They were also very responsive and proactive about confirming the day of schedule and services. Kristina is so great at creating a look that is polished, elegant and fresh. She can turn up the volume/glam it up as well without it looking too heavy. I also liked that she uses individual lash extensions rather than a strip. It creates a much more natural look. Xochitl is so talented as well. I arrived to my trial run appointment with a few pictures but not a clear idea of what I was looking for. After looking at the photos for a less than a minute she pulled together this Old Hollywood Glamour do with the most gorgeous waves. Probably one of the best investments you can make for your day.

    I cannot review the quality of NVBA's work, but only their response to a horrible situation…read more My sister was to be married in June of this year (rescheduled from 2020 due to COVID), and had booked several makeup and hair artists for the morning of the wedding for herself and the bridal party. My sister died suddenly and unexpectedly in March. A few days after her death, her fiancé and I began notifying wedding vendors. I reached out to NVBA over three months before the wedding date. I received a response expressing their sympathies, and the email ended with "you can be sure that we are set". It was me who had to bring up that my sister had paid NVBA in full ($1700). When I asked about a refund, I was told 50% could be refunded. Even when my husband spoke with Nika herself, she would not budge on the 50%, essentially stating that all of the contractors had already been paid, even though zero services were provided. Every other vendor for the wedding, from the venue to the DJ to the photographer, immediately offered a 100% refund. I notified NVBA over 3 months prior to the date, and we had even suggested a refund down the road after summer season, which they refused. Somehow "scheduling" enables them $850, even when the bride dies before the wedding day. I cannot relay how heartbreaking it is that my sister never will get her wedding day. What is so aggravating on top of that is to see how heartless a response NVBA had to the situation. NVBA is making money by doing nothing - and if they rebook (for June 19) they are double-dipping. Shame on you, NVBA. I honestly don't know how you sleep at night. Shout out to all of the other vendors (Salvatore's, Molly's Cupcakes, Artistrie Co.) for having compassion and doing the right thing.
