This is my second time reviewing Salon Echo - I just love this place that much. I don't get in here often, but when I do, I am always pleased by the everyone's generosity and attention to detail (For example: a hand massage while my conditioner sets in - love, love, love!) I see Eric and not only enjoy his company, but also appreciate his willingness to share his knowledge of the industry with clients. Knowing that your stylist values the healthiest products and methods out there ensures that you're receiving the very best treatment. Tonight I found out that Salon Echo now recycles nearly all of their waste and materials. That's amazing! Maria and her staff go the extra mile for their customers as well as the world around them. Such a feel good place! read more

This review is quite overdue but after many exceptional experiences it's time to give credit where credit is due! The hardest part of moving to Chicago from NYC for me was finding a new hairstylist. I cannot tell you how many different salons in the city I tried before I found Julio. It pains me to say this (for fear of not getting appointments) but if you're looking for a new cut, style or.. the best blow out OF YOUR LIFE.. go see Julio. He is an amazing stylist, always friendly and very professional. Alberto from the front desk is also very friendly and accommodating. read more

My stylist and this salon get 5 stars, even with a minor hiccup. I scheduled my haircut and style through Pretty Quick, and it caused a little confusion just before my appointment. The owner of the salon called me about 45 minutes before my appointment to ask if I was a representative of Pretty Quick, as she had never heard of the service before. However, the salon honored my appointment and by the time I paid at the end of my service, they had sorted everything out with Pretty Quick and I was able to use my PQ account to pay. Salon: The owner was in the salon and was mopping the floor (she mopped it at least twice while I was getting my hair cut) to clean up the (winter) salt tracked in from the sidewalk. She also personally thanked me for helping them clear up the PQ hiccup. Seemed clean and quiet, good music but not overly loud, and the fixtures were all very new and comfortable - nothing worse than an uncomfortable wash sink or worn-down chairs. Now, onto the cut: Vardan was my stylist. He was personable, really friendly, and did not pry into my personal life. Personally, I don't enjoy that in a stylist until they become my regular and we've seen each other for at least 4 appointments. Again, just my opinion. Still, Vardan was super entertaining and was really effortless with my hair. He took the time to chat about proper care in the winter months, and how to maintain and encourage my natural wave. HUGE PLUS: This is the first stylist I've ever worked with who hasn't suggested color!!! I am not a fan of color - I prefer to henna my hair when I color. I am currently growing out the last bit of henna in my hair, and it was so refreshing to have a stylist love my hair *as it is* and not try to convince me to get expensive and high-maintenance dye jobs. I'm just not that girl, personally. My cut is fabulous - so many compliments and I feel like a million bucks. :) I will definitely be going back to Vardan and Salon Echo in the future! read more

Mina is wonderful and she really listen you. She does an amazing job with highlights and can really cut asian hair. All I need to do is bring her a pic and she makes it happens. I am so glad I found her. read more

Within hours of posting my original review the owner reached out to me with a very kind and thoughtful note. This impressed me so much that I'm adding a star. She obviously cares about her business and it seems my last experience there was a scheduling snafu that was not handled in the best manner. I should mention that I've had good experiences here in the past, so although I'm moving on and I'd still recommend Mina (she gave me the cute short cut in my profile pic). read more

I may be a broke grad student, but I don't have to look like one thanks to super-stylist Mina, brow artiste Jennifer, and the student discount at Salon Echo. The first time I saw Mina I hadn't had my hair cut in months, and I had an interview the next day. Mina spent a while talking to me about what I wanted - I told her the keyword was professional - before tipping me back in one of their recliners for a shampoo, conditioner and scalp massage. Brief moment of panic when she started cutting and 4-in pieces hit the floor, but soon I had perfect shoulder-skimming layers, styled straight and looking VERY professional. Today - round 2! Again, she listened and asked questions, and I've got just the cut I want. Also, this time she used a round brush and a twizzle of her wrist to create loose wavy curls. I didn't know you could do that! My hair looks freakin fantastic. This was my first time having my brows done there, and Jennifer gave me a clean, natural-looking line in no time flat. I love that Echo uses only Aveda products because I have extremely sensitive skin and I'm prone to post-wax breakouts. Doubt that will happen this time. What will I do tonight with my fab new look? Go to class. Sigh. At least I'll look great doing it ;) read more

I love my hair! Melissa did wonders with returning me to my roots. No pun intended. I feel like my old self and I've gotten many compliments. Thank you! read more

Good quick painless waxing from Jennifer. Going back to have her do my eyebrows next week. Also had a deep tissue massage from Phiwan. Wow. I was quite disoriented afterward because it was pretty intense, but I felt fabulous for the rest of the day. Going back for another one as soon as I can. read more

Salon Echo is great. Maria the owner took us as clients personally (wife and I) after another stylist had to leave for medical reasons. My cut is basic short, and consistently done well. My wife's hair takes more skill, finer with waves and she's growing it out to boot. We like that the salon carries product but doesn't push it. We left the last salon because of sales pressure, not bad haircuts. We also like that Maria walks the walk of sustainability with how Salon Echo was built-out and uses resources. read more

Wowowow! I've been here twice, once to get my eyebrows waxed and the other to get a hair cut. Both visits were absolutely wonderful! Sunshine did an incredible job on my eyebrows and Pear gave me a great haircut. Both were kind and personable. Will definitely be back for the rest of my beauty needs. read more

Nice employees and they do great color. The cut though not a great fan. Didn't really think much of it at first but when I wasn't getting my usual compliments when I get my hair cut and colored, something must be up. My husband especially who usually says he loves the cuts and colors I get said it doesn't look that good. It wasn't bad bad, just nothing special for the price I paid. Oh well. Hair grows and there are plenty of other salons in the city. read more

Again I got a linked in request from a person at Salon Echo. I ignored the first request and said how stupid they were to send it to me when I wrote a horrible review of their salon. So now I am writing another horrible review and I hope they get the idea that I don't want them associated with me. read more

Regarding MASSAGE. Splendid massages from Phiwan. (l deeply regret if I misspelled his name.) I've had many massages before, but this man is Yoda as far as I'm concerned. That's a good thing. Read on if you're considering healing your body and soul. I live in the neighborhood and know that Bryn Mawr isn't the cutest street in the world. Don't let that scare you away from a massage at Echo. The street is also very safe even though it's nowhere near as "cute" as the main drag of Clark in Andersonville. I wasn't shopping for "cute". I was in desperate physical pain from a Trapezius strain. Marvelous, friendly, and professional team all around, IMHO. Get a massage from Phiwan. He knows the human body so well and can work out longstanding pain you didn't know was there. You only have one body. Treat yo'self! Not only do you deserve it, but after getting one you'll be all the more ready to meet the slings and arrows these challenging days throw at you. Professional massages in general can seem occasionally pricey to some. Please know I *absolutely* respect that fact, Yelpers. However, their prices were competitive and fair. More importantly, sometimes we all start getting penny-wise and pound-foolish. If you need it, you need it. I needed it and badly. Give them a try. Your body and your soul will thank you. Echo team and Phiwan... Sincere THANK YOU for saving my broken body. I'll be returning soon. read more

Love this salon, and Maria the owner! She was very attentive to my requests when she did my hair and the cut that she gave me was fabulous. She also took the time to blow out my hair which she didn't need to do because my hair is very heavy and thick and curly yet she still offered to blow it out for me, instead of just drying with the diffuser. The massage therapist Phi-Wan was great, and really worked over some areas I had tight knots in. The space is lovely and let very clean. I can't wait to try their pedicure station, as it looks awesome! read more

I originally went to Salon Echo for convenience sake - it is a block from my house - but I will be staying here for the quality of service and my stylist, Jovan. I have naturally curly hair, and Jovan does a beautiful job cuttting and styling it. He is very sweet and definitely a gifted artist who takes his work seriously. The receptionists are always friendly and helpful. I like the fact that they sell Aveda products here. I have yet to try out some of the other services they offer here like the facials or massages... maybe as a Christmas gift? read more

Maria, the owner of Salon Echo, and also my new favorite hair stylist--well--I can't say enough good things about her services. I just moved to Chicago six months ago, and have had the hardest time finding the right salon. A lot of trial and error. But I've finally found a good one. My hair was very complicated--several different colors, and kind of a mess. Maria took about 15 minutes to evaluate and discuss my hair with me, before she did anything to it. Which is awesome. She told me the four things that were wrong with my hair, and how to go about fixing it and getting it to be the way I had originally envisioned. At times it seemed like she was reading my mind, and knew exactly how I wanted. Then she told me how much it would cost for all that was needed. It was pricey (as all professional salons are) BUT totally worth it. My hair looks great now, and I'm definitely going to be monogamous with Salon Echo from this day forward! :-) read more

I went to Salon Echo on a recommendation- on a quest to find the right fit. And while my two cuts at Salon Echo were alright I'm still going to continue my search. They do use wonderful Aveda products, I've gotten lucky with the parking and the staff is very friendly. And the ambiance, combined with the Aveda, is very relaxing. Also my stylist (Mena?) gave me some great styling tips and she wasn't just trying to sell me products! Prices are reasonable for the area. read more

I followed Jess from her previous position in Evanston, and I'm so glad I did. She's (still) great, and Salon Echo is my go-to place for waxing (my eyebrows are reaching their fullest potential) and serious business skincare. What else? It's right off the Bryn Mawr Red Line stop, the staff is nice and professional, they have late and early appointment times. I couldn't ask for much more. read more

Mina is AWESOME! I have thick, wavy, long hair and she is a pro at giving me great cuts that grow out wonderfully. She has always been very professional and really takes the time to understand what I need. I would definitely recommend Mina to anyone looking for a new sylist. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, is because the owner is not very friendly. She rarely greets me, or even smiles. The rest of the staff is top notch and very friendly! read more

2.5/3 stars from me. I received a g/c (to go toward a massage) last year that had to be used. Because I have my set massage therapists at a different place, I decided to get a facial instead. The facial was just "ok," and it seemed a bit rushed even though there was hardly anyone there (other places I have gone, I was there for an hour at least. At Echo, I was there for 35 minutes, tops). Points for taking the time on the phone a week before to discuss all the different options. Points off for not doing a thorough extraction. I went home and squeezed out a few clogged pores. Ummm...wasn't that suppose to happen 30 minutes ago at the Salon? Nice atmosphere in general and the Aveda products lines are great. I've had much better luck for facials at other salons, so unless I get another g/c - it is doubtful I'll go back. read more

After having a baby & moving, my hair was in need of some major TLC and my experience here was great! Even though I didn't really have a good idea of what I wanted (other than professional help), Tara gave me a great color and cut. The salon itself has a serene vibe without being pretentious and I thought all the staff was friendly from the moment I walked in the door. I thought the pricing was pretty reasonable for hair services in the city and I firmly believe it was money well spent. I drove and street parking was easy but it's located right off the red line too. Even though I luckily had some cash on hand, I wish I had known ahead of time that tips are cash only (but I'm sure that's listed somewhere on their website and I missed it.) I will definitely be back read more

This was my first time going to Salon Echo. I am so glad I did! I had a facial during Spa Week and it was worth going back at full price! Bele did my facial and she is amazing!!! She explained everything she did which I appreciated. She would check in with me too making sure the pressure was not too great or anything is too hot, etc. The massage I received while the mask set in was superb!! She asked good questions about my skin type as well as allegories etc. Bele also gave some great product recommendations. My face really does feel great! It is super close to the Bryn Mawr Red Line stop which is very convenient. Definitely will be coming back and also recommend it to anyone who might be considering it. I might have to come back for some other services as well. Ask for Bele, she is terrific! read more

I want to bring attention to a business worst nightmare. Of course there are many things that can be a nightmare for businesses today. However when it boils down to representing your brand your business brand that is, this is critical.  I am saying this to say I think I was treated unfairly I know I was treated unfairly.  I went into Echo Salon and Spa and one of Aveda's location for a facial. I called them and made an appointment and was given a Time and I made them aware that I'm coming in with a coupon for a free facial.  So I arrive for my appointment I told the lady at the front desk my name and that I'm here for my facial appointment I gave her my coupon she went to the back and came back told me to sit down and someone will be with me.   She was clearly there just trying to make it through the day. I should have taken the hint from the person on the phone who made the appointment who said she's not aware of the coupon but it's just yet another thing that she's not that we're of as "no one tell her about" Everything continue to go straight down the drain as the young lady came back to me in a confrontational manner stating that they will honor my coupon but this coupon stated in the very fine print not for salons as she pointed it out to me in an frustrating manner to me as I sat on this very low brown couch. All she wanted to do was getting her points across, as she did and turned away with me attempting to explain to her that her Salon was on the list of locations who would accept the coupon.  As she walked away waved her hand in the air I suppose she would return to hear what I'm trying to say to her she never returned.  My appointment was in 30 minutes I sat there waiting.  I continue to feel very uncomfortable with her lack of professionalism.  Several thoughts went through my mind one of which was to walk out as I attempted to do just that a lady call my name.   She introduced herself as Jessica to me as we walk together almost like a little mini tour of Spa she immediately put me at ease very pleasant wonderful customer service.  I was a bit concerned because this is someone who would touch my face for a facial this is a very personal matter.  However I must give credit where credit is due this young lady is wonderful Jessica that is. She instructed me what she needed me to do and what she was about to do and listened for my input.  The difference between good service and great service is one's ability to listen.  Right is right and wrong is wrong Marcy the front desk lady is totally wrong wrong for business wrong for customer service.  After making my payment for the services rendered I told her, I reminded her that my main reason for coming to the salon was because I found that location as one of the approve locations and I also called and made the appointment and informed the person on the phone. After living for 30 years around the corner from the salon I never felt invited to go inside this location. I watch many businesses come and go from that specific location let's just imagine why. Businesses should do more to protect their brand and not hire Marcy. Because of the first face I saw when entering this business and was treated in that manner from the front desk person this one star it's because of her read more

I've been coming here for little over a year now for a massage fairly regularly. After this last one I thought it was time to write a review. I only live a few blocks away so I was excited to find this place as it's in walking distance. The salon has recently remodeled to make better use of space, and I kind of like it. Seems more intimate, I like that. The massages have been great and I have to admit I'm a little picky about things like this. I typically go to Heather but on occasion have been with the male masseuse whose name I cant remember. I know he gives one hell of a deep tissue massage, probably the best I've ever had. Heather is really great, the more she gets to know your body the better every massage gets. I'm happy they started offering a massage package as I grabbed one of those buy 6 get 1 free deals, or whatever it was. Two trips ago I was talking with Heather about her experience and she had mentioned 2hrs massages she had done somewhere else, I inquired at the front desk and they had me setup in no time. This last visit was awesome, it hardly seemed like 2hrs! After the last two weeks of hell at work, it was much needed! My only gripe I've had is when I forget to bring cash as they won't let you tip on your credit card. That always makes me feel real bad, it would be a great bonus if they could figure out how to allow that. After a massage the last thing I want to do is walk 5 block to the bank and back to get cash. I usually end up making it home but no further. But with some proper planning, it's no problem, I just need to make a mental note ahead of time. All and all, I really enjoy this place and I hope they continue to do well. read more

Got an hour long facial here about a week ago and it was awesome! The staff was very very friendly and not aggressive with the upselling at all. I bought a couple products that I have yet to try, but I did feel like my skin was already better after one facial. Thank you Ana you did a great job! I will come again for sure :) read more

Full Service spa, have been seeing the owner for my hair for 25+ years, I have followed her around as she has transistioned from salon to salon. She has my full trust, so I let her do whatever she wants as far as color, highlights and cuts. They know how to do color here very well, all of the stylists are pleasant professional and very good at what they do. I utilize their services for waxing, facials, manicure/pedicures and have recently discovered their massage therapy services. Wendy the massage therapist that I see is wonderful, I go to her for reflexology and deep tissue for some ulnar nerve compression. She is incredible!! read more

Very good experience with Salon Echo! Firstly... I discovered them after receiving a SpaFinder.com giftcard which they accepted without any BS (you know how some places are like, "oh, this giftcard is only valid from 1-1:30pm...during summer...if it's just rained...only on tuesdays...and if you're wearing a yellow t-shirt..." you get my point). --Not Salon Echo! Anyway, my main point is that I had purchased a $200 facial package in March and had to cancel on them twice. After a mini life crisis I couldn't make my appointment and didn't return their calls for my missed appointment... When I called them (4 months later!!!) to ask if I could still use my package they were so helpful and understanding and booked me for the next day, I didn't get the "our cancellation policy bla bla..." speech as I might've been expecting... only a very helpful (and prompt!) return call ensuring my service. I have had facials with Jennifer before and she is super nice and friendly. Phiwan's massages are amazing! Calm and very professional. Great experience all around! I'm glad I discovered Salon Echo! read more

I have always gone downtown for a massage. A friend of mine recommended Salon Echo and I was very pleased! I was greeted by friendly customer service at the reception desk. And I experienced a very thorough deep tissue massage, so relaxing, tight muscles perfectly loosened. I will definitely be back on a regular basis! read more

I'm a lifetime fan and supporter of this salon. You just won't find a better staff anywhere you go. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Maria, the owner, is such a stand-up small business owner with such a good heart. Phiwan gives the best massages in the world. Melissa makes my hair beautiful and makes me feel gorgeous. And Jessica does the best waxing and facials I've ever had. Speaking of facials, during Covid I've been going crazy without them. But, they have figured out a perfect and super safe way to get a really good facial with a special mask. They use these little sticker masks that cover just the tip of your nose to just right outside your mouth. So they barely cover your face and still leave your jawline and chin open for the facial. But it covers the parts it needs to cover to be totally safe. And it's incredibly easy to breathe in. I just had one and it was AMAZING. Jessica wears a full mask and face shield, and she has an air purifier in the room. So it's safer than just about anything you could do right now. The whole salon is. They have put sooooo many safety and cleaning measures in place for Covid. I've been there at least 6 times for all of the services during Covid and I've felt completely comfortable and safe. It's been a really nice way to treat myself and have something nice for myself during all this madness, and not having to worry if it was safe to do. Can't recommend this place enough, and I highly encourage the mask on facial! read more

I was in Chicago for a week and I needed to get an eyebrow/ upper lip wax for an upcoming photo session. I was able to get right in when I contacted the owner over yelp. The location is super convenient- right off the red line stop at Bryn Mawr and the service is wonderful. The atmosphere is great- as you'd expect of a salon. Jessica did a great job with my brows and I'm very happy about my experience! read more

Salon Echo is beautiful inside and they provide fantastic service. I followed Jessica, my esthetician there from Benefit and I'm so glad I did. I love how she does my brows, and can't recommend her highly enough. She's conversational and a lovely person to talk with, and there is never a dull moment with her! Brow services are affordable and consistent and the experience is soothing and truly spa like. Jessica recommended Eric to me for a haircut and I was again, extremely pleased. I never get haircuts because most stylists tend not to listen, but this was not the case with Eric. He was knowledgeable and did his absolute best to give me what I wanted. Super nice guy and easy to talk to. I love my new haircut! Overall, Salon Echo is my new favorite salon. Try it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

FINALLY. After a salon nightmare in my past (not here), I was nervous trying to find a place to get my hair cut ahsn I moved to Chicago. I didnt need to be worried here. I think I had the owner, and she was amazing. Talked to me about a good cut for my hair type, how to style my hair, why I had fraying and how to fix it. She actually listened to what I wanted and then delivered!! Sure, its a little higher on the money scale, but not crazy expensive. I think it's worth it to pay a little more and get an amazing experience / hair cut. read more

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Maria and the Salon Echo Team. When planning a wedding or any big event, the best advice we can offer is hire the pros and trust them to do the work and do it well. Never could something be more accurate than with Maria who was a dream come true from start to finish. Maria and her team are hands down fantastic stylists and makeup artists. They are even more skilled at making you feel comfortable and in control when in their company. They were energetic, confident and a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the day itself. They even coordinated all the logistics with us throughout the year from facial and skin regiments, to prepping my hair extensions, to spa days for us to relax. Take it from us, purchase the full bridal packages with Salon Echo...best decision ever! Thanks again for providing a first-class service. With one of the biggest days of our lives and such a huge action packed event we couldn't have been luckier than to share it with all of you! read more

I went in for a self-created 'day of beauty': a Self renewal facial, a haircut and a waxing (birthday gift to myself). The facial was wonderful-I don't know if I can ever go back to only an hour long facial after this one-which was a luxurious 2 hours long, included feet and hand treatments and massage as well as a very intense head and face massage. I do believe my face was actually glowing afterwards. Quinn is wonderful, soft spoken and calming and used all natural products tailored to my skin type. Haircut-great, Eric gave me exactly the trim I wanted and styled me wonderfully. Wax-again, Quinn, professional and great treatment-I have had many other waxings before by old pros who pride themselves on how quickly they can get the wax over with-but Quinn was very detailed and again very skin-care oriented which I really appreciate. Thanks Salon Echo for a great afternoon-I will be returning to see you soon! read more

I called the salon last Wednesday and spoke with a very friendly receptionist. I asked how much for a hair cut, style and blowout and she told me $45. I mentioned that I have curly hair and needed my hair to be blown out with a round brush and asked if there was an additional charge. She said no and assured me that the stylist that I would be working with had some texture to her hair as well. I was given an appointment for the next night at 8. When I arrived, I received a polite welcome from both my hairstylist (Jane) and the receptionist. I was given a cape to change into and we began. Jane was very nice and helpful with the initial consultation. I asked her if we had a time for a deep conditioning and she informed that we did, but that it was an additional $20. I agreed to the cost. After, she had wash, cut, deep conditioned and blew out my hair it was just before 10pm. The remainder of the appointment was pleasant and I have to admit I was happy with the finish product. What I was not happy about was that when I received the bill for my services it totaled $115. I spoke with the owner of the store and I informed her that I had called before my appointment and was quoted $45 for the services (minus the deep conditioning). She told me that because it took longer to blow out my hair I had been charged additionally. I again explained that I had asked about the additional charge and was told that it was included. I even asked for clarification about what kind of "blow out" is included in the $45 price and didn't feel that the owner did a good job of explaining the difference between the blow out included and the cost for an extra blow out (I should also mention that my hair is just above my shoulders so it doesn't qualify as long). The owner eventually took $10 off the bill. All in all, I like the hair cut but I do feel like the extra $50 expense was a surprise and not a good one, especially when I specifically asked about it a head of time. Overall Pro's: Jane was nice and did a good job Con's: Salon Echo made an error in their price quote and made the customer pay for it. Even though I like the haircut, because of how the situation was handled I will not go back and do not recommend. read more

I hate to say I stopped going to this salon because I couldn't stand the receptionist!!! I think her name was Veronica or Victoria... from my very first visit and every single time thereafter she never failed to give me some kind of snotty attitude about something and eventually I just had a "last straw" experience and never went back. I was sorry to take my business away from the stylist for this reason but as it's worked out I found a stylist and salon I like MUCH better. See my other reviews to find out who... read more

Was in a spontaneous mood and randomly decided to get my hair done. Ended up calling that day and they were able to get me in last minute. Pear was my stylist and I could not be happier. She is super sweet and seemed genuinely interested in our conversation. She was able to fit me in for a cut and color, which turned out awesome. Very satisfied and will definitely be coming back! read more

I am not a vain person, but do enjoy feeling good about myself. I've been frequenting the salon for the past 2 years in order to enhance whatever beauty that I have and to give myself relief from the stress of everyday life. If you are looking for a positive change, this is the place to go. I have my haircuts done by Maria, the owner. She has always been very professional and attentive to what I want. I can tell her that I want a "carefree" , " no-nonsense" "modern", "going-out" hairstyle and she transforms my vague suggestions into a nice look. The end result is always a haircut that people compliment me on and one that I can handle styling on a day to day basis. She also suggests what products to put in your hair to maintain the look, including products you already own and never tries to push products to sell you. Maria is always very friendly, on top of the latest trends, and is very knowledgable about sustainability, local restaurants, events and life in general. It is never a dull moment when I get my hair cut by her. Bele handles my mani and pedis. She does great work with the nails and gives my feet a rejuvenating work over. The nail polish also lasts for a long time and she always gives the best suggestions on color. My conversations with her are also very enjoyable. Rosemary is an amazing aethetician and has a holistic approach. Her 1 hr facials are very relaxing, and she will customize the session using different essential oils, facial masks and massage techniques. She will dissolve any stress that you have. Let me tell you - my skin has dramatically improved and I can go makeup free and feel good doing so. In March 2013 I trusted the ladies for my wedding day- hair, nails and makeup. I wanted a natural look for my daytime wedding, but still wanted to look like me. In the months leading up to the big day, we had discussed the look that I desired and went through some trials to make sure we were all on the same page. On my wedding day: Maria came super early (7am!) to start prepping my hair for my wedding at noon. She put my hair up in this cute bun with waves on the side and it lasted the WHOLE day. I've never seen my hair look and behave that well. Bele: Made sure my nails were in great condition. Gave me a hand and arm massage, touched up my french manicure as some of the white had slightly chipped. Gave my cuticles a blast of hydration. Of course everyone is going to be looking at my ring finger. Nails were gorgeous. Jennifer (aesthetician no longer here): Applied and set my makeup and reassured me that my mascara was not going to run unto my face. I felt like a celebrity having these three ladies work on me, and they really made me a beautiful bride. As for the salon itself, the place is warm and inviting, there are paintings from local artists on the walls. The music is relaxing and they will always offer you some of that great tasting Aveda tea (which they also sell). I usually bike here for my services since they give you a discount if you do. On bad weather days, I take the L since it is next to the Bryn Mawr stop. On the few occasions I've driven here, parking on the street has never been a problem. With my busy schedule, I am glad they send out email reminders 2 days prior to your appointment. Also, Alberto and the rest of the front desk staff are very accommodating in rescheduling your appointments if something comes up. All of the staff are PROFESSIONALS and you can look forward to building a relationship with them. Go here and unleash your beauty. read more

I get great cuts, color, and waxes here. My kids' haircuts are far better than the cheap places we used to take them to. Friendly and clean. Eco-conscious. read more

This salon is SUCH a find! First of all, they are TRULY full service. I saw Jessica for a brow tint & wax (my first!) and it was wonderful! Private room, relaxing music - and I love, love, LOVE the results. Totally painless and I was done in less than 30 minutes. Already booked my next appointment - so happy I found this place! read more
