First off, I am a picky lady when it comes to my hair so when I stumbled upon Lush after a pal's…read morereferral I went forward with trepidation. It's always a journey finding a skilled artist who makes the entire experience relaxing and fun. So imagine my delight to find Shaina and Lush. Not only is this gal a whiz with hair she is a pretty amazing person too. I am used to stylists who stick you with a magazine or leave you to your phone most of the appointment while they hide in a back room so it was refreshing to have a person who SPEAKS and engages with you during an appointment! Shaina saw my vision and made it happen, excellent scissor skills and my highlights are the BEST I HAVE EVER had in over 35 plus years of hair coloring. Her positive energy and high skill level made my first appointment so dramatically different than the last few salons I've been to. I will be a client forever now that I found Lush and Shaina.

Olga at this salon is very disappointing. After seeing an ad of her work on Instagram I decided to…read morebook an appointment to have my hair dyed. I booked an appointment online and explained my hair texture. Two days before my appointment she emailed me late in the night to reschedule it for the next morning! I had an open schedule and said sure. Once I got there Olga touched my hair lightly and told me she doesn't do textured hair and sent me on my way. I explained in my email before I got there that my hair is naturally curly, she told me that she thought I meant wavy. It is just so disappointing that in the year 2020 hairstylists can only do straight Anglo hair. The salon was full of stylists. Are you telling me no one in this salon can do textured hair? I think that speaks for itself. The receptionist however was very kind. It is hurtful for a salon to tell someone they don't do your kind of hair. What does that even mean? I have added photos of my hair texture for reference.

HAIR: Incredible!! I am so happy with the results! I don't…read morethink the pictures do it justice. I got a partial foil and a trim. She did an incredible job framing my face, not only with how she layered my hair, but also with the money pieces (lighter pieces in the front). I get nervous with money pieces because sometimes they look really unnatural, but Abbey did a fantastic job! To provide a reference point, I am the person that ALWAYS cried when they got their hair done because I always hated it. So the fact that I like my hair for once is impressive in itself. HAIR STYLIST: Abbey worked at a bigger hair salon, but was bringing in most of the clients, so she started her own salon. She is incredible at what she does and is willing to go the extra mile to give you a recommendation and talk through ideas with you, unlike other places where I feel like they don't care and they just want to get it over with. Before I even scheduled my appointment, I messaged Abbey asking for her advice on what I should get done to my hair. I communicated that I didn't want to frequently go back for touch-ups and I didn't want it to look unnatural. So she recommended a partial foil with a natural color and said that I could bring in pictures for the color I wanted or she could make a recommendation. At the appointment, I brought up a Pinterest board with like 30 pictures in it. Immediately, she knew which one she would recommend based on what I had told her about a week earlier. She told me which ones were more likely to look brassy if I didn't want to go back for frequent touch-ups. I was very impressed that she remembered our convo. She is also extremely easy to talk to. And if you are the kind of person that doesn't like to talk when you get your hair done, she is totally fine popping on a true crime podcast! AMBIANCE: It's a one-person salon, which I love. I hate when the person next to you is blow drying their hair, so you have to scream to communicate what you want. So I love that it it does not have all of the commotion and a bunch of people are not staring at you when you are sitting there with foil in your hair. It was also extremely convenient because I had important work calls scheduled last minute that I had to be on. Abbey was extremely accommodating. I had my work call on speaker. When she was rinsing my hair and told me to raise my hand if I needed to speak and she would shut it off. Obviously, this would never work at a larger salon. She also let me use her phone charger when my phone was about to die. The salon looks very modern and is very clean. She has a huge mirror instead of the very tiny ones at most salons. She offers you water or a drink like Diet Coke. You sort of feel like a celebrity with your own personal hair stylist. TAKEAWAY: Abbey did an incredible job and is extremely accommodating. She is the only person that I have found that I have complete confidence in and trust doing my hair. I will never go anywhere else!

I scheduled a wash blow dry and style for the first time at this location. Leslie was the person…read morewho they scheduled me with. She did not know what she was doing and was so slow and put way too much product on my hair. I got upset and asked for another stylist to finish my hair and was met with resistance even though they had no other customers. I walked out and asked for the manager to call me her name is Natalie she was not there on Saturday. Instead they called the North Aurora police on me. I went home and had to shampoo my hair twice to get all the excessive products out. The police called me and I had to pay them 8 dollars for the shampoo over the phone. What a joke instead of trying to please the customer they made me out to be a villain. Leslie did not have a license posted so I doubt she is a licensed stylist in Illinois. The police told me I'm banned from ever going there again. Why would I want to ever go there again????? They don't seem to do much business and do not have good customer service skills!!
