I have been going to Salon Echo for the past 5 years. I stumbled upon this place when I was dog sitting for a friend who lived down the street. Jennifer has done my waxing the entire time. She referred me to Jovan as a stylist but he ended up moving to California after about a year of me going to him. After he left, Jennifer referred me to Mina. She is totally awesome. We worked very hard to get my hair the exact color I want and I knew it would take a while and she was so patient. Always loved the color but of course now that it is perfect, I am moving back to Michigan. I told her I will come to Chicago every 8 weeks if I can not find someone there. I am always welcomed when I get there and they know that if I want something to drink I will ask. I live in Ukrainian Village and drive 30 minutes and would recommend them to everyone. This is a fantastic salon and I have enjoyed going for the past five years. read more

I absolutely love Salon Echo! This is the only place I will get my hair cut, even it if means I have to wait months before coming back home to Chicago from college. I've been coming to Maria for over 10 years and I am happy with every cut. She always knows what I want and does a fantastic job. I have also had my hair styled by Maria for high school formals and I was always very happy with the results. Additionally, the student price is hard to beat considering the quality Aveda products, staff, and overall experience at the salon. I highly encourage people to go to Salon Echo if they haven't already. read more

I LOVE Salon Echo....Kathy the manicurist is (was) wonderful...but has mysteriously left. I had an appointment over the weekend and was told she was no longer there. I really would like to find where she has gone, as I would like to continue as her client.....she was the best. I think Salon Echo has made a big mistake in letting her leave.....not sure if i will go back there without Kathy being there!! The Salon is very nice and the pricing is slightly below Michigan Avenue prices.....I would give Kathy 5 Star's and Salon Echo 1 star for letting her leave!! read more

Since Cathy quit, I have had 2 manicures from the new manicurist (the second was to fix the first) and both absolutely stunk! The manicurist did a terrible job, messy, globbing nail polish on her and me. The polish never dried and I awoke the next morning with sheet marks on them. I called and asked to get the polish redone, and the same thing happened the second time. Not going back. read more

Zulie cut my hair when I went here and she is amazing. She was not only personable, but knew what kind of hair style would and wouldn't look good on me. She listened to what I wanted and didn't do her own idea (like a lot of hair dressers do). I'm bummed she doesn't still work here since it is so close to my house but she works at Salon 1800 now! I would definitely recommend following her there! read more

I've been going to Salon Echo for about six months. I love this place! Their prices seem fair compared to similar types of salons. The staff is very friendly, they have great hours (even open on Sundays!), and it is super relaxing in there. read more

Zen environment. Rooms are clean and sanitary, sometimes the CD player has some rather distracting music in the salon area. The desk staff is very friendly. Jennifer does a great bikini and arch wax. She's funny, personable and professional. read more

Wendy is a wonder massage therapist. Not only does she give to notch massages, but her self-care recommendations have drastically improved my posture and back pain. She has found knots that no other massage therapist has found, precisely follows my requests on areas to focus, and has made me feel better than any other therapist. If you have persistent pain, I recommend you see Wendy right away! read more

Relaxing atmosphere and skilled staff.......when I get my hair cut, I don't want to be pressured to buy products or peppered with questions about my personal life. I am there to RELAX. Salon Echo lets you do just that....I sit down and let the day melt away. I have curly hair that can be unruly and they make me look polished and professional for work, but gave me tips how to fun it up for the weekend. I like that these people are environmentally conscious too. A+ read more

I had come in to get my legs waxed by Quinn and she was really fun, did a great job, and made me feel like I was just hanging out with a friend as opposed to transacting business. So one day I wanted to get about 80% of my hair cut off so I went in to ask who they recommended for curly hair, and I made an appointment with Eric. I waited a week after the cut to write this review to make sure I was still really happy with it, and during that time I got a lot of compliments. Eric is fantastic and knew what I wanted even better than I did, and I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks. I went back in to have Quinn do my brows and she and Eric were both really friendly and welcoming when they saw me and made me feel like a welcome guest. They use Aveda products so the whole place smells amazing, and the value is really excellent -- lots of high-end touches without an outrageous pricetag. People with curly hair: Eric is your go-to, especially if you want a shorter cut, and Quinn is an artist with brows. read more

Erik and the folks at Salon Echo are the best. He is a hair magician! I cannot more strongly recommend this Salon.

Had an amazing experience with their brow specialist. Very professional and great attention to detail.

i love this place. it is so clean and mangement is so nice.......i really like this place and i will be back. i brought my son Lee in to get his haircut and i think her name was maria but she was phenomenol ...i would love to try out there other services as well.........hope to see you soon and thank you for everything......... read more

My daughter and I grabbed the Spa Week special and got a facial with a hand and foot massage. Since my lovely daughter has never had a facial before, I was interested to see how she liked it. It was great! And her skin did indeed look different - very glowing and healthy! I particularly liked the hot stone massage. I'd never had one before, and was amazed at how great my hands felt after the massage and holding the hot stones for a while. Even though my daughter didn't want the foot massage (doesn't like people touching her feet) and didn't have the hand massage for some reason, she and I will definitely be back! What a great experience! read more

When I receive a haircut from Maria the complements are endless. The haircut could be a fresh cut or 2 months old. The atmosphere is very relaxing. When you walk in you instantly feel relaxed and when you walk out you feel as though you just returned from a very relaxing vacation. I won't go be going anywhere else but Salon Echo for all my beauty treatments. read more

I've already gotten my hair cut here, but today I came in for a facial and a scalp treatment. My facial was an hour long and very relaxing. The woman answered all of my skin questions and had some great tips for keeping my skin nice. My scalp treatment was excellent as well. For the price, you get a great treatment that really benefits your hair as well as your scalp. I've yet to try their massages, but I'm sure I'll be in for one soon. read more

I have been going to Salon Echo for years and I think I've been taking it for granted. My previous hairstylist was a godsend and since he moved out of state I've been trying to find someone else - here and elsewhere - that I love just as much. Although I haven't been able to find another stylist who makes me look like a friggin movie star every single time, I've always gotten good cuts from the other stylists that I've seen. I've never had to wait long, the service is always professional and friendly, the shampoos / head massages are great, and the salon is ALWAYS clean. I haven't found another comparably priced salon in the neighborhood that can claim all - if any - of that. read more

Salon Echo is a wonderful neighborhood salon and spa. It Is Relaxing and beautiful place that a talented staff. Also the prices are very reasonable. read more

I have been going to Salon Echo for over a year now and can honestly say that Wendy is a fabulous massage therapist! I have been other places and found them to be too rough or do not listen to what I need. Wendy is truly amazing. She spends a few minutes with you discussing what you need and I never feel rushed during this. I have severe knots that land in my shoulders and she can always get them out. If you need to go and get 'worked on,' I would highly recommend Wendy! read more

I love this salon! Everyone here is fabulous and I always have a great time here. I come here pretty often and have my hair cut by Mina who is awesome. She listens to what I want done and is excellent at styling. I recently scheduled an appointment for make up and hair styling for my bday on very short notice and Maria (who is the owner I believe) was so patient and flexible with me that I was able to squeeze in both right before my party as well as my friend for a make up appt too. The results were great. The prices are good too. They really know what they're doing here. Mina styled my hair and it never has looked better!! I can't remember the make up artists' names, but they were both great too. I would recommend anyone to come here. read more

These people are straight bums they try and take your credit card information and charge you if you don't come in for the visit even if you give notice to cancel the woman at the front desk is so rude and ignorant I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy to visit this spa and salon read more

I've been going here for several years after it was recommended by a friend - and Maria does fabulous color. I really do appreciate their "green" approach - and that they try to use healthy products. The staff is very sweet and accomodating as well. read more

I have been a super happy client of Salon Echo for over 4 years!! My stylist is Vardan and I not only deeply appreciate his Mad Skills and Phenomenal Talent, but he is super fun too and I always greatly enjoy my time in his chair!! Salon Echo is extremely customer service oriented and the space is so hip and cool!! I also have aesthetician services there and have had massages as well - - - Yea Salon Echo and Yea Vardan!!! read more

It's taken me too long to write this review! Maria, Salon Echo's owner, has been cutting my curly hair for 5+ years. She's the only one I trust with my curls and she never lets me down. I always leave happy with my haircut. Maria intuitively knows how to cut hair. Curly hair gals out there can trust Maria! read more

Phiwan gave me a massage last week and it was the best massage I have ever had. He did a combination of deep tissue and Thai massage. He truly is a healer. The facilities were also very calm, clean and relaxing - the perfect environment for a massage. I would highly recommend Salon Echo! read more

Salon Echo has a relaxing atmosphere, and I highly recommend it. Mina always does an excellent job with my hair!

This was my first cut at Salon Echo . . . and won't be my last! Great cut in a warm setting. The staff is very friendly. I am their new fan! read more

Belle is absolutely amazing! I've been here twice now & each time my nails have been outstanding. She is incredibly thorough & sanitary. If you or anyone you know is looking for a new nail technician in Chicago, look no further than Belle! I could not recommend a better salon in Chicago! read more

I am so glad I found this place! I was looking for a place in Edgewater that I could trust for waxing. I met with Quinn, and I had a GREAT experience. She is warm, fun, and a professional. Plus, I am paying less than I did in Lakeview, the service throughout was terrific, and they are committed to helping the environment. I will be back. read more

I've been visiting Salon Echo for eight years. It's easy to get to, right off the red line and in a cute shopping district on Bryn Mawr. Everyone is friendly and the salon is inviting. And I've loved my stylist, Eric, for color and cuts. He not only loves what he does and does it well, he's so much fun to talk with about music and life. The Aveda signatures are awesome too, such as the wonderful scent of the products, the head and shoulder massage, and the hand treatment. read more

I LOVE MY STYLIST !!! I have been going to this awesome Salon since it opened its doors. I get the best service every time. I even book ahead because I know how my fabulous stylist gets booked. Mina you are extremely talented and I am honored to be your client. I work almost 60hrs a week and my treat to myself is Mina. As soon as I walk in through the door I am greeted and made feel welcome. No matter how busy mina is or if she is under the weather I always get the best service and I have to say she is amazing. I get in her chair and say "Mina, work your magic ". I only trust her with my hair. I always come out feeling pampered and rocking an awesome hair cut and blow out. I have had many people stop me and ask who does my hair because it looks fantastic. I am writing this review now because I recently got married and Mina styled it on my special day. I am lost for words to describe how she made me feel and look on my wedding day. My husband had even gone the day before the wedding to get his beard trimmed and get lined up. He is picky with his hair but she made him feel so comfortable that now he will got to Mina for his trim. If your looking for a talented, humble and knowledgeable stylist please book your next hair cut with MINA! Thanks Salon Echo for having such a talented stylist and wonderful staff. read more

I had a horrific experience with a cut and color compounded by poor customer service afterwards. After over two hours on my first visit, I left with yellow hair and no time for a cut. I realize its only fair to give the stylist a chance to fix her mistake. So, after two hours the next day, I left with orange streaked yellow hair and a bad haircut. Five hours, two days, and I looked like Big Bird had a haircut with a Flowbee. After getting the color and cut corrected at another salon, I called to ask about a refund. On the phone, the staff was nice and offered to reimburse me what what i spent to have it fixed. When I arrived at the salon, receipt in hand, the mood had soured. After being told I had "overpaid" at another salon, the same staffer then said they would only reimburse me for what I spent at Echo. That's great, but don't offer something else first. The sour attitude probably had something to do with the fact they knew I wouldn't be back regardless. read more

I love Salon Echo. I have only had my hair cut by Mina and she is great. Let's put it this way - I have very dark, thick hair which can be a bear to style. I asked many other stylists at other places over the years how I can get a sleeker look and she is the **only one** who ever recommended a flat iron. I not only leave the salon looking like a million bucks but it's easy to maintain at home. I've never received so many compliments on my hair. On the expensive side but well worth it. I may try color soon. Also I love the Aveda products and the fact that the salon is so environmentally friendly. I enjoy being a client there so much that when I was searching for a place to teach childbirth classes I talked to the owner, Maria, about renting the small serene classroom near the spa at the back of the salon. It's a great place and they also offer classes like reiki, pilates and massage/spa services. Jen does great waxing. Salon Echo is truly an oasis in the heart of Edgewater. read more
