    In a week, I came here three times! First, they are currently going under construction but still operating so make sure to really pay close attention to the sign because you just might miss it! Once again, they are open during construction. Also, the location is so convenient if you're coming from the loop because you can just take the brown line to western. You can also transfer from the red line or purple line onto the brown line from Fullerton or Belmont. In addition, there's multiple buses that run to western and Lawrence. I first came on Monday to get my hair cut by Amela. I had a semi Marilyn Monroe haircut and wanted Amela to trim it shorter by about two inches. She washed my hair, really massaged my scalp and shampooed twice. Once she was done, combed my hair and started cutting. I have a really sensitive scalp so when someone brushes my hair, it's really painful. I told Amela to be careful while she brushes my ends and she was very considerate of that. She removed a lot of damage from my hair. Some hair stylists cut just straight across and style it but I asked her to slightly layer my hair to remove the damage. She constantly asked me if I wanted to chop off more and she was very conscious of my reaction. I wanted shorter hair so I kept telling her to chop it all off! Once she was done, she blow dried my hair and then trimmed the ends a bit. I absolutely loved my haircut and the way she blow dried my hair! She charged me $32 for the cut, wash and blow dry. Very reasonable. Amela is bee sweet On Wednesday I went to see Veronika for a bikini wax. This woman. THIS WOMAN. First of all, she is so kind, charismatic and so wonderful. Don't be surprised when you see a Barbie, she is not only beautiful on the outside but in. She makes you feel really at ease during a process that can be really painful and unpleasant. I usually call in advance to let her know I'm coming because she can be booked up. When you arrive, she checks in and walks you over to the wax room. The room is sanitized and she gives you time to change into a bikini- not really sure how to describe it but it's basically like a thong but for waxing. If she thinks you're nervous, she talks to you during the wax but she moves quickly. If she can't wax off something, she literally takes tweezers and pulls it out, that's how much she pays attention to detail. I personally only use hot wax but I'm sure she does threading too. For a Bikini wax, I'm usually done in 15-20 mins. A bikini wax is $30 and then obviously, remember to tip graciously :) highly recommend Veronika! My last trip here was on Saturday but I didn't get anything done, my mom did. My mom wanted an updo and Olga is usually her go to stylist. My mom had washed her hair the day before and didn't want it to be frizzy if she washed it again so she just asked Olga to style it. Therefore, she did not get her hair washed at the salon. My mom has a big nose and requested Olga to style it in a way where the hair style compliments her nose when she turns to the side. Olga really listened to her suggestions and then first teased her hair before curling the ends. Olga used a lot of bobby pins to bring the hairdo to life but the hair style was beautiful. Olga really takes her job with full pride and it is apparent in her technique. The hair style itself took about an hour but my mom wore it for four days after. That's how durable the style was! Since my mom didn't wash her hair there, the updo cost her $50.

    Veronica is the best! I always go to her for my Brazilian waxes! She is FAST, super thorough, plays great music and is fun to chat with and so sweet! She calls me sweetheart. :) now she's convinced me to wax my arms and I love it!!

    I live in the neighborhood and have been wanting to get my hair cut... it's been 3 years! My hair was dry, flat, and my ends were beat. I walked in and Olga was available. Man did I get lucky! She is an expert. I told her I wanted just a little off the bottom but she knew immediately how to cut and style my hair to frame my face. So I let her do what she thought was best. Olga gave me a truly fabulous haircut and I will definitely be back to see her. She studied at Vidal Sassoon in London!! Thank you, Olga!

    Came with my sister for pedis. This is her regular spot and I really loved it too!…read more I love the ambiance it's not all white and bright lights like some salons, it's a lot warmer and more relaxing! The staff are all super nice and did a wonderful job (no cuts or bleeding ahah which happens sometimes during pedis but no they were perfect here!) I also liked their temporary shoes more than the rubber ones at other places and love that they give you a baggie with oil in it to put over your feet before putting shoes on to make sure that the polish doesn't get rubbed. I would wear flip flops normally but not during winter in Chicago of course, so I love that they pay extra attention and make sure your pedicure lasts :)

    I've been going to Salon Chic for about two years now. I've been in Chicago for almost eight years,…read moreand I can confidently say that Salon Chic has been the best nail salon experience I've had since moving here. I personally see either Sharon or Trang but have also seen the work of other technicians who seem to deliver great quality from what I can tell. Beyond the results which are fantastic, I LOVE the vibe of this salon. I've been to other nail salons that seem a bit "flat" or give an unpleasant vibe. This is not the case with Salon Chic. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile, and you can really tell that the staff enjoys working together and cares for one another - cheesy but it makes a huge difference for me. Unless I move to another area where I can't easily get to Salon Chic, I will ALWAYS be a customer of theirs! Thank you, Salon Chic! :)

After moving around the country for a few years, EWC was the best option for me to be able to use my wax pass in just about any city, but the Logan Square location is by far one of the best I've been to. No wonder they always book up- but if you call in, they can put you on a wait list and are almost always able to get you in if you can give few good windows of time. The staff here is always super friendly and helpful- Cori at the front desk is always delightful and quick to help on the phone or in person, and the ladies here are some of the best. Over the years I've had Myah, Melanie, Sofia and Carli who are all fantastic. No one is super pushy about buying the products (they often even give out samples if you're interested). As long as you can stay on a ~4 week schedule, getting a wax here is fairly painless. My latest wax with Carli FLEW by, I swear she had me in and out in 10 min for a bikini; and I barely felt a thing. Not to mention that she had me perfectly distracted and laughing the entire time! I highly recommend visiting the Logan Square EWC location if you're in the market for some self care.

    This review is long overdue but they keep sending me emails so here I am…read more The last time I got a wax was 8/2022 and it was a pivotal moment in my decision to never get a wax again. The lady who was waxing me was rude, very short with me, and made me feel so uncomfortable. When I say had an attitude I mean she literally acted like she hated me. Mind you, I showered before I got a wax to prevent that HA! Waxing is such an intimate experience and the vibes have to be welcoming and warm. She was ripping away at my skin and I finally decided "yea I'd rather get laser then come back here every two weeks to feel like a burden"... sucks because I liked this place but that one experience messed it up for me. I was already having a tough day that day and now the lady who waxes me hates me too no thanks. I've been getting laser since then.
