I'd been growing my hair out for nearly 2 years and it was getting heavy so my stylist, Angie, and I decided to add layers. She did a phenomenal job (as always)! My hair is fresh and light - and on trend! I could not be happier with my new do! read more

I have been getting my hair colored and cut with Janette for 7 years now. She does such an amazing job every time and now several of my friends and family members have started going to her too, some don't even live in Chicago! Highly recommend! read more

I went in to see Samuel and he really listened to what I was looking for in color and a cut. I left with exactly what I wanted. The salon is also doing a great job with sanitation. I watched each stylist diligently clean their stations after each customer. read more

The best salon ever in Chicago!! What sells me more about this place is how considerate and caring the stylists are, especially Marta! She's my fave! When I shared with them that I had a bad experience at another salon, they immediately understood my situation and fit me in the next day, even though it was a tight schedule. The owner herself called me and empathized with me and told me that she could work something out and she did! I am super happy with the way they treat their clients and I will definitely go back!! read more

This salon is amazing! Such great customer service from everyone. Erin did an amazing job on my haircut, and Prajedes did an amazing job on the no-chip manicure. And everything was done in less than an hour, with a discount. Would recommend to anyone. read more

I see Davey at Natural Elements for cut and color, and Jordan does my waxing. Both of them are great. I am in sales, and need to keep my look current and up to date. Davey has great ideas about what to do and he is friendly and fast, and he helps me on how to style my hair at home. I have been working with the salon owner, Edda for years, since she was a stylist at another salon, and now she is the owner. I now see others on the team, who fit more with my budget, and I am very happy with them. I don't want anyone else to do my hair. I can trust the staff at the salon. I not only get great advice on my look, I feel better about myself when I leave! Regarding the location, I can usually find free street parking in the area. I have also had makeovers here, and buy my makeup from them. I am not one to wear a lot of make up, but they have great ideas about a few products that will help me look great. Edda stocks a certain amount of jewelry that I have bought here that have become my favorite pieces. This is also a salon carrying Arrojo hair products, which I have come to love. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Edda is a very special salon. This is a must go place. Everyone here is friendly and talented. Edda gives me lots of attention -- she takes the time to listen and gives me impeccable haircuts. There's no rushing around here. No shiny and imposing furnishings. The saloon is so comfortable that I don't want to leave! Book it! read more

I can't say enough about Sylvia!! She' just the best! My hair has never looked better. She knew exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't quite know how to explain myself!! I get compliments daily on the color and the cut has my hair feeling bouncy and full. I am so happy I found her. read more

This is a great place! Really cozy and welcoming. Edda is very knowledgeable and listens exactly to hay you want. read more

First time visiting Salon Edda. Martha is my hero. She fixed a cut that went wrong at another salon down the street. She was super attentive to hear my concerns and she was very clear and communicative about what she would do to fix my cut. I think the end result is one of the best cuts I've received in a very long time! She really took the time to understand what I needed. And it is clear, she is experienced and skilled. I also treated myself to a pedi - far better than the other nail shops nearby. Salon Edda is now my go-to! Thank you!!! read more

Martha did a good job, I love my cut will be back. The staff is also very nice and the salon is cute.

What a cute salon! I booked a last minute appointment with Samuel for highlights and wow, he did not disappoint. I can't recommend him enough-- especially if you're a blonde! He knows what he's doing. A last minute, random appointment and my first visit to the salon will now turn into a routine regular client of Samuel's at Salon Edda! read more

Salon Edda - Hair Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Edda and her team were warm, inviting and attentive. They were surprisingly able to accommodate my last minute appointment request despite the fact that it was busy when I was in the salon. Nate added some dimension into my dark brunette hair as i was feeling like it was a little dull from Chicago winters and Martha helped removes some bulk from my hair as I'm growing out a lob. It's not in my neighborhood, but I would definitely visit again. read more

After a disaster of my hair color that i have done to myself, i was literally crying and called Edda around 3pm. Sure after around 6pm she took me and fix the problem, she was very meticolus and careful. She did everything to make me happy and I left the store very happy. Great person, very professional, good staff, extremely sterilized and clean atmosphere and fair prices. Definetly a place for me to visit every 3 weeks from.now on. also their nail salon and nail technicians are great too. 5 stars Edda! read more

I am SO grateful to have found Salon Edda. Everyone is so sweet and I love the whole atmosphere of the salon itself , BUT I have to give the biggest shoutout to Erin! She has been my go to since coming to Salon Edda and I couldn't be happier !!!! She is amazing at what she does ! Thank you Erin and all the staff at Salon Edda !! :) read more

I contacted the salon through Yelp and Edda responded within the hour. Went into the salon the next day to do a color fix. It was a little hard to tell if my hair was bright enough, so Edda offered to fix it up if I find that it was still a bit too warm for my liking. I went in again to take the orange-ness down a notch and I am very happy with the results. Edda really knows what she is doing, and she will make sure that you are happy with the results. Highly recommend! read more

What a wonderful experience! I loved my time at Salon Edda and will definitely be going back. Everyone I interacted with - the front desk staff, the person who washed my hair, the hair dresser themselves - was kind and warm. My hairdresser really listened to what I wanted, provided feedback, and then turned it into a beautiful haircut. Thank you, Salon Edda! read more

I moved to Chicago a couple years ago and I've been having trouble finding a hair salon with great customer service, talented staff, and reasonable prices. I'm happy to say I've finally found my go-to salon. You get top notch service at Salon Edda! I had a haircut and balayage with Davey. He was amazing! He gave me the best hair cut/color I've ever had. I also had the pleasure to meet, Edda. She was so welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this salon! I can't wait to go back! read more

I got highlights and trim. I am so happy with the results. Carmen did both. She listened to all my requests, and she asked lots of questions. The highlight color is perfect and looks so natural which was important to me. Everyone in the salon is friendly, welcoming and attentive. I also had my nails done, which look beautiful. I think I was beaming when I walked out the door--I was so pleased. read more

I always love getting my hair cut at Salon Edda's! The space is beautiful and serene- an oasis of self-care in my busy life. Edda's staff is always kind and attentive. And I trust Edda to give me a cut that not only suits my face and my personality but also my lifestyle and habits. Thank you Edda! I love my new do!! read more

Salon Edda was the first salon I went to after moving to Chicago and I'll never go anywhere else now! Martha is beyond talented and sweet, and I always leave SO happy with my hair. I have very curly hair that's difficult to cut and style, yet she manages to make it look amazing. The rest of the staff is just as amazing and kind and make you feel very comfortable. The prices are perfectly in line with the level of service you get and they have an excellent selection of products as well. I always recommend Martha and Salon Edda to all my friends :) read more

I have curly hair - which is challenging for some hairdressers. Edda always cuts my hair in a way that makes the immediate and the growing out look exceptional. I am an attorney and need to always look put together (with curly hair, no less). I am always sure that I will never be embarrassed by the way I look when Edda is my stylist. I travel 45 minutes to get to her salon and wouldn't go anywhere else - even if it were more convenient. You can't argue with quality - which I get every single time. read more

I have gone to Salon Edda for nearly a decade, and I swear by it. I always get compliments after a visit. Beautiful space, highly skilled and personable stylists, and great customer service. Edda is my stylist, and she has worked with me to evolve my personal style in ways that go beyond cut and color. My cut and color after a visit are always top-notch, but whenever I visit Edda, we talk about where I am in my life, where I see myself going, and how I want to reflect myself in the world--and she helps me take my style in that direction. She always pays close attention to what I want but also sees possibilities in my hair I didn't even realize were there. I'm a busy professional--what a relief to sit back and let a pro do her magic. read more

What an exceptional Salon! I received the royal treatment from Edda, the Salon's owner, plus her very attentive team. I left looking, & feeling, 10 years younger! Thank you Edda, I will be a return customer & biggest fan. read more

Absolutely amazing service! I purchased a Gilt City Voucher for Natural Element and they accommodated me the next day! Martha is wonderful, she did an amazing cut and blow out. I can't wait to visit this salon again. read more

I haven't gone to the actual salon (yet!!), but the Owner, Edda, was a godsend today while I was poking around the beauty store trying to fix my hair color that had washed out way sooner than I would ever expect it to. She took the time out of her day to offer advice to me, and what she picked out was absolutely perfect! The color came out just the way she said it would, and I'm thrilled because before she said anything I had two different products in hand. I'm so glad I followed her guidance and got what she picked out! She seems to know her stuff, and the sheer nature of her willingness to help a complete stranger really struck me. As soon as this color is done for, I will be heading to her salon to get my hair done! Thank you for your help today Edda! The color covered up the brown perfectly and I have this beautiful, vibrant plum color just like you said I would! read more

Edda has been cutting and coloring my hair for more than 10 years. I followed her from Evanston to her own salon - she's that good. She has created a welcoming, tranquil, and relaxing environment for her clients, and her team is talented and personable, too. In my 10+ years, I've consistently loved my cut, color, and style. I can't fathom going anywhere else. read more

Natural Elements Salon is a gem in Lincoln Park with experienced and amazing stylists. They always take the extra time to ensure their clients are taken care of. Best in Class service and results. I feel ready for date night every time I leave! read more

Excellent service & salon. Found my new favorite nail spot. So clean and so nice here. Yay!

Great space, friendly staff, and most importantly I walked out feeling like a million bucks! I made an appointment with a new trainee and together, with her supervisor, Lauren gave me the balayage hair color Ive always wanted (but couldn't articulate). I will be back! read more

I walk by this salon almost every day and decided to give it a shot - it looks so cute inside! The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Erin did my partial highlight & haircut and I'm so happy with the results! They were also able to fit in a toe polish change while my hair was processing which was super convenient. Always nerve wracking trying a new hair salon but I'm definitely making the switch for good! read more

I got a manicure a week ago from Ali. This is the longest my nail polish has ever lasted and that's saying a lot because I am very rough on my nails! It still looks amazing, I am very impressed! Ali was super friendly and knows a ton about skin and nails, etc. I felt very comfortable with the cleanliness of this salon and how she took precautions to make sure everything was disinfected. I will definitely be coming back for another manicure!! read more

I adore pedicures. Yeah, that's right. I'm too damn lazy to take care of my own feet and I love it when someone else trims my cuticles and polishes my piggies ... but the best part is the foot rub. Heaven! That being said, I'm also on a budget. Just 'cuz I live in Lincoln Park doesn't mean I'm made of money. I work P/T and I live with my BF who owns his own home. Money is for necessities! And boy, do I need pedicures! I've been going to Colorful Nails on Lincoln Avenue for the convenience because they're the closest nail place to where I live. They have always done decent work in no-frills surroundings. The workers are nice and the Sunday-Thursday mani/pedi special ($28) was in-line with my limited budget. On the weekends the price goes up to $35 ... still a decent price, IMO. [NOTE: I almost feel bad mentioning them in this review since I haven't ever bothered to review them on Yelp! I may still do so.] A couple of months ago the BF and I were strolling down Lincoln Ave. on the way home from lunch when we noticed that one of the vacant stores a block from our home had a work permit in the window and it said a new nail salon was opening there. Joy! An even closer nail spa to the house ... I could hardly wait. Wellness Nail Spa opened about 2 weeks ago and I've been peering inside the place as I take my dog on a daily walk past the spa. The menu in the window showed that they do manis, pedis, no-chips, and massage. They focus mostly on relaxing services. Don't come here expecting a full set of acrylic or nail tips 'cuz it ain't on the menu. The Signature Mani/Pedi is $40, more than I usually like to spend. But I was willing to pay for the convenience and the ambiance at least once just to get a feel for the place. Today I walked in and asked if I needed an appointment and the friendly lady at the front desk said they welcome walk-ins but appointments are accepted as well. The place is new and beautiful. Check out their web site to see their photo gallery (www.wnailspa.com). They were playing a decent mix of music from the 90's, 00's and current stuff (from Depeche Mode and Dr. Dre to The Lumineers). I went in and picked out my colors (Essie "Mesmerized" for my tootsies and Essie "Avenue Maintain" for fingers). I sat in the pedicure chair, set the remote for an invigorating back rub and settled in for my service. The nice girl who did my pedicure was very friendly and informative. She told me that at the end of the pedicure they give each client the small disposable emery board used on their toenails and the small buffing block so they can take them home to reuse or discard. They never use the same emery board or buffing block on anyone else's feet ... ever! Used once and done! I liked that a lot. The tools are all autoclaved for a minimum of 30 minutes after they've been used so that the next client is not being serviced with unsanitized tools. That's another PLUS in my book. They also do something I've never seen at any other salon. When they paint your digits they use a layer of base coat, followed by one layer of color, followed by ANOTHER layer of base coat. They finish off with one final layer of color then the sealing top coat. They claim this makes your color last longer. I hope this is true because I put my fingernails through HELL every day. I never wear gloves to do the housework and my job is murder on my hands. [NOTE: I may edit this review in a few days to let you know how the nail color is holding up.] While I was sitting at the nail dryer I was chatting with the young girl at the reception desk who signed me up for their loyalty program. I earned 2 points for my visit today. If I become a regular (and I think I will) each time I come back I earn points. When I reach 15 points I will receive a free Signature Manicure. In my mind it justifies my spending $40 per visit knowing that I get rewarded for my continued patronage (unlike at the other place I mentioned earlier in this review). Plus, they made note of the colors I used today in my "file" on their computer in case I want to use them again at a later date. They also signed me up for email alerts when they have special promotions. Ironically, after I came home from today's visit to Wellness Nail Spa there was a postcard in my mailbox from them with a list of some of their services and a coupon for $10 off a Mani/Pedi. That just made me guffaw! But I will definitely use it! :) BTW, since this place was not listed on Yelp! this morning I couldn't check in there. read more

Five stars for my stylist listening carefully to what I want, evaluating my hair (I have a lot but it's very fine), questioning me about my styling routine and giving me the perfect cut and color. She gave me options and made good recommendations-- and that is why I go to a hairstylist. (I've been to far too many places where stylists say, "OK, what are we doing today?" Really --- you're the expert. Tell me what you think). I went to Katie this time, but I'm confident that any styist (they're all certified colorists) would be good. I also like that they have a small separate room in which they shampoo people. read more

This place is great! Katie did an amazing job on my hair. I came in and told her I wanted a new look, but had no idea what I wanted. She worked with me and gave me an amazing hair cut. I got bangs for the first time since 2nd grade (well there long bangs, but its a start!) The lady who washes hair should be a massage therapist. Tip her! Over all very happy. This was the first new hairdresser I have had in 15 years and cant wait to go back. read more

I was a little sad when my "stylist" left. But, today I tried one of the many other hairdressers here and found him to be quite excellent. And hilarious (which is always a bonus!). My hair is in the process of growing out, so nothing too extraordinary was done to it, but my shampoo was amazing. And the cut looks nice even if it is on the boring side (my choice). Only gave it four stars because I would advise against the eyebrow waxer. Went to her for a while and never hated my brows. But I also wasn't in love with them. After trying someone new elsewhere I decided that her wax method is one of extreme torture. Oh, and good news! They just renovated the basement and will soon (or maybe already are?) be offering manicures and pedicures! Can't wait to try it! PS - forgot to mention that the "hook" or "gimmick" at Natural Elements is that ALL (or 5/6) of the hairdressers are certified colorists. I guess this is unusual. They have been featured in many national magazines for this fact - so DEFINITELY a place I would recommend for color. read more

This salon is gorgeous!! And every member of the staff was wonderful to work with from scheduling until walking out the door. And I can't say enough about my amazing hairstylist Janette. Excellent colorist! Always taking my ideas and bringing them to life or just glamming me up when I have nothing in mind. Seriously, go check my girl Janette out and this lovely salon!! read more

I always thought I had problem hair. Turns out I have had a succession of problem hair-stylists. Now, I don't have problem hair. I have awesome hair. I love Scott; he listens to me and somehow translates all the hair-related gobbledeegook coming out of my mouth into a haircut that not only looks good, but that I can handle doing in the morning. Pretty kick ass. I'm looking forward to having color done, (which I will do as soon as the old highlights finally grow out) because I know it's going to look just as kick ass as my haircut does. read more

I do have to start off by saying my hair hasn't looked this good in a long time. I've been getting my hair highlighted for over 15 years and have almost always gone to the same stylist. There were times I was satisfied with her work and other times I barely noticed the difference! However, Edda really knows her stuff and she has given me some of the changes I've been wanting for years. Not only was my blonde fixed (there were multiple tones in there from a bad dye job), but the dark hair on the underside was completely brightened! Hello ponytails! I would give five stars but there was a little confusion as to scheduling and pricing that resulted in me having to come on back to back weekends as well as paying almost double what I initially expected. Quoted at $160 for the whole job, but ended up paying $82 the first weekend and $170 the second! Not quite sure what happened there, but regardless I'll be returning. It's pricey but the work done at this salon will keep me coming back as a loyal customer for what I hope to be a very long time! read more

This is the most amazing salon I've ever been to. And there's only a good handful I've been to. Salon Edda truly makes you feel like a princess and how they treat their clients is AMAZING. I walked in and was immediately greeted and took mine and my friend's jacket and offered a drink. Blue was truly a saint. She was the best stylist ever. Cut my hair to PERFECTION!!! She's a great conversationalist as well And luckily enough my friend Maxx got lucky and got a free blow out (I don't know if this is all the time, so don't bring a friend expecting them to get something for free!). I truly enjoyed my experience and look forward to making another appointment in the near future. Thank you for everything, to Blue and Salon Edda!! XOXO read more
