I went in for a hair color/cut. The hair dye looks like it was done by a non professional. The skin to my forehead, ears under my neck all had hair dye stains. I went out to eat afterwards not realizing I was walking around with all these stains. This morning I noticed all these mistakes and only to come to the realization, I have no layers to my hair! I tried rescheduling with someone else for the haircut but would be stuck paying another ninety five dollars on top of the two fifty I already paid yesterday. I would not have to pay if i go back to the same stylist but I don't want the same person touching my hair again. This place is not worth the money for such rotten service. Very disappointed

@long layered hair cut and style. Sweet friendly staff. Great vibe. Always recieve the best haircut. I'm his worst client. I'm his Mom. Love coming into the salon. They use the best products. Phillip does an amazing job on my hair. I'm not just saying that because he's my son. I have to be his most difficult client in his chair but he kills it every time. I received so many complaints on my hair everyday. See Phil you wont be disappointed.

I had a horrible experience at Salon buzz today. I came in for a haircut and left with uneven hair. Sam was my stylist and she immediately upsold me a conditioning treatment-- which would have been fine but she neglected to let me know that she would not have enough time to give me a proper haircut! She cut my hair so fast and aggressively I immediately became concerned. I think she made 3 snips and then she started blow drying my hair immediately making me extremely confused because I paid for a whole haircut not just for my ends to be dusted in 2 seconds. The whole process was so rushed I felt like it was a stressful experience and they treated me like a transaction on an assembly line. If this was because of the unexpected conditioning treatment they offered me, they should have told me that the haircut would be rushed or scheduled the conditioning for another time! After she sent me to pay, I checked in the bathroom and found my hair in the front to be UNEVEN. so i told the front desk politely that my hair appeared uneven and the appointment felt super rushed. the front desk lady was dismissive of my complaint by saying "well Sam is really good" which felt dismissive because I had uneven hair. I asked for it to be fixed and requested someone else to fix it because Sam rushing with my hair made me feel super uncomfortable. The desk lady told me I would be charged for an entirely new haircut in addition to this haircut which is a completely unprofessional response from a high end salon! I felt like the customer service and cut was equivalent to Supercuts, and so you might as well just go there ans save your money for an equivalent cut! I had a good experience in the past with someone else and so I'm just really sad bc even after they sent me back to sam to have her fix it.. it's STILL UNEVEN. I just want even hair and for this business to be more polite! :( I trusted Salon Buzz after being referred to them by a close friend, but now I definitely don't want them to touch my hair anymore, and a refund sounds fair considering I need to get this fixed still! Overall so so sad and upset. they just felt so rude and i thought this place cared about customer service

Went from one length hair asking for a blunt cut and got this.

Would not recommend. I had grown out most of my layers, went to see Andreas for a dusting, trim and a blunt cut. No blunt cut and no dusting. He decided to add some dimension to my hair and now I have short layers at the top of my head I had spent the last two years growing out and he decided to add point cutting to the ends to add dimension. I wanted a straight blunt cut. I showed him a picture. The layers he added don't blend in with anything. He said it's not layers it's texturizing. Whatever it is, it's a mess! Your response is not true. The only layers I had left were long layers near my face. You added these to the top of my hair. I'll include a picture of the bottom which was one length, you butchered and made uneven.

Spotty balayage. And that was the good side.

Worst color I've had in years. I just moved to Chicago. She undid practically everything my last colorist had worked toward. I can't go into work like this. And for $210 for a partial highlight... no thanks. It's blotchy and way too light. It's awful. I don't trust them to fix it either so I'll go elsewhere.

Color by Talia
Lexi C.

I LOVE Salon Buzz and most importantly I LOVE Talia! I've been coloring my hair with her for almost a year and a half working to get my super dark brown to a bright and healthy blonde. She always provides an amazing experience along with the all other employees, and I always walk out feeling beautiful and confident about my hair. If you're looking for top tier service along with gorgeous color done the healthy way, I will forever recommend Talia at Salon Buzz.

bumble and bumble long layer cut
Jessica C.

I just went there last night to get a much needed cut. I went to the training program so one of the students (who have already graduated beauty school but are training to work specifically at the particular salon) cut my hair. Her name was Cameron and she was fabulous! I got a "bumble & bumble long layer cut" which I have never seen before but I loved it because it made the layers so blended and soft. I have super long (mid back) hair and instead of being long and straggly, its fabulous now. The salon itself is very nice too, very clean and friendly staff. I would definitely go back. Cameron does hair on Tuesdays at 5:30pm and 6:45pm if you need a cut or a trim for only $20!

Ask for Scott for color & Jordon for everything else:)

5 STARS ONLY FOR THE TAPE IN HAIR EXTENSIONS BY JORDAN!!!! She rocks at completing that long rocker chic don't you just love me hair that you can toss around & play with all you want... it looks natural!!!! And HOT. However not so impressed thus far with the colorist at the Gold Coast Salon Buzz, she highlighted my hair orange pretty much. The colorist, Scott at the River North Salon Buzz is who you need to see to get the right spot on color. He's great:). Jordan works at the River North salon as well, so go there - not the Gold Coast one for your next hair care spare a dime- they ARE EXPENSIVE. Get the manager for quotes on prices otherwise you'll get 3 different quotes from the same person & they won't recall what they first told you. Kinda annoying. Be cautious there bcus I kinda felt coerced into buying more than I wanted... -T

Paul's work
Emmy S.

Paul did a phenomenal job on my hair. I found him from a lady I approached about how beautiful her hair cut was. The place was beautiful as well. The staff from start to finish were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back to Paul! Paul has done it again! Second time getting my hair cut by him. I'm so pleased by the way he cuts and styles my hair. Thanks Paul!!!

My crazy but awesome hairdo after seeing Lyndsey!

We definitely plan to get lost here for the day and do a little staycation, but not with the accommodations. Enjoying the spa amenities for the day. Now to what I did not enjoy, I did not enjoy the spa having to share, it's pool with the hotel. This is a high price point hotel/ spa experience. I did not appreciate the numerous amount of families that included small children were. The parents absolutely did not discipline, nor attend to their children and their entitled behavior of taking over the entire pool area and even the jacuzzi. I did talk to management whom apologized . But it was very disheartening! This place is too expensive to not have quiet and enjoyable experience from start to finish. I received 20 percent off for my trouble. Also the gratuity is added which is more than 20 percent. But you can ask to customize your own amount. Suggest going during the week for a quite experience!

This spa experience felt like a magical dream…read more As soon as you enter their facilities downstairs and you walk through their doorway you are transported into a zen filled space that hugs you within. You are greeted with a warm smile as they check you in and given gentle directions where you can change in their large facility into your robe and slippers. Then they guide you to where you can go to wait to meet your masseuse. It was a last minute booking and the last slot for an evening massage. It wasn't long at all before my smiling masseuse came to come and get me. Before I knew it I was laying face down getting the most relaxing massage I've had in a long time. This place serves at a high end level of excellence. My masseuse was very professional and just knew the perfect level of pressures to get all the knots, kinks, and stress print up on my back. This place lifts and floats you away from the business of the outside world and the whirls that swirl around inside your head. They know how to relax you to the max and send you off relaxed and recharged for the world. I hope to go back there sooner than later.

After securely storing our belongings in lockers, we were guided to the serene lounge area to relax before our services. My partner and I booked the Couples Journey, which was the perfect indulgence. It began with a full-body scrub, followed by 25 minutes soaking in a luxurious infinity tub with lavender Epsom salts, and finished with a heavenly 60-minute massage. I had Javier as my therapist, and he was absolutely phenomenal, one of the best massages I've ever had. His technique and pressure were spot on. My partner had Elizabeth, who was also excellent and very sweet she made us feel so comfortable and thoroughly explained everything. After our treatment, we returned to the lounge where we were offered light snacks, tea, and water. Once refreshed, we each headed to the wet lounge, which features a sauna, steam rooms, and showers. I personally loved the steam room and spent most of my time there, although I did notice the sauna wasn't heating properly during our visit. The spa was overall very clean and well-maintained. However, I echo a few other reviewers in saying the bathroom could use a bit more attention. That said, it wouldn't deter me from returning we had a wonderful, relaxing day and will absolutely be back.

There are a variety of services to choose from, but the various baths of different temperatures and salt engage the senses like no other. It's co-ed, and you can move between baths at your leisure. There's even a semi-outdoor waterfall bath. The variety is wonderful. There's a salt shower area that you could rub salt on yourself which feels wonderful. I really enjoyed the sauna which had an aromatherapy component to it and a cold plunge inside. I didn't think I could do it, but the hot temps made it easier to get into the cold water. Service here is splendid, and reservations need to be made so that over-crowding doesn't happen. This makes the experience of coming here much more enjoyable. You can really unwind, relax, and come out of this feeling refreshed.

Not so bad... Pretty Chic. I like it…read more They take you back. Guys and girl separate. You each have your own locker rooms. They give you direction and off you go. There is staff around so if you have any questions, that can be answered. The locker rooms are clean. There are a couple private changing rooms and, of course, cuz it is separate from the men, you can choose to change in the open. You change into your bathing suit and they provide a robe. Within this locker room, there are showers available and there is also an area provided to get ready AFTER the services are complete. It has hair dryers and spray deodorant and I think lotions. They do provide "wet slippers". They fit like no show socks so there's no need for any kind of flip flop type shoe to protect your feet. I have no review for the men's locker room cuz... Well. I'm not a man. BUT my husband had no complaints. When ready, you meet your partner and go to the "bath" area. They have all kinds of hot tubs and steams rooms and cold plunges and just yeah. It's pretty cool. You hang your robe and in you go. There is also a juice bar and the juices are delicious. Again, there is plenty of staff to assist with any questions you may have. If you booked a massage, and, of course, why not? They will let you know when it's time. You go upstairs and get the best massage of your life. I had a female masseuse and my husband had a male one. Once done, back into the locker room to get ready for the rest of your day/evening. It was a pleasant experience. It was also quite pricey. This was gifted to me and my man. Not sure if we would have extra funds to splurge within our own budget. This is downtown Chicago. Parking is NOT provided. Although they do offer valet.

We received an email before our visit asking if we would be able to switch our 10:30 appointments to 8:00 am or 11:45 am to accommodate another guest interested in services. Since we were visiting from out of town and had other plans, we were not able to switch to these times but eventually agreed to move to 9:15 even though it was not our preferred time. The attendants upon arrival were very friendly and welcoming. The eucalyptus steam sauna was closed for repair, which was not indicated when we booked. The dry sauna and hot tub were very small. As the morning went on it got incredibly busy. There were so many people waiting for appointments that there weren't enough chairs in the relaxation room, and it was very crowded by the vanity/mirrors and showers. Our treatments we good, not spectacular for the cost, but we expected expensive treatments on a busy weekend in Chicago. We were offered complimentary enhancements for switching appointment times-a face mask or eye mask. A nice touch but not nearly worth switching our plans around for. We had separate reservations to begin with but somehow when we were asked to move our reservation times, we were put on the same reservation. As a result, I was charged for my friend's service. We each made multiple calls to the spa to try to get it corrected. After at least four attempts to get it corrected over the phone, I emailed the spa.
