I have been having Mia do my color retouches & cut/styling for several months now, & she is amazing. She pays attention to what I want & cheerfully offers great suggestions. She adds a scalp massage to the shampoo--the best! She doesn't rush on the cut & styling & is skilled at both. And I love the way the salon is decorated too! read more

Got another amazing cut with Phil! I would highly recommend him, he is phenomenal at his job! Love the salon front desk they are all so sweet! Great place to go! read more

From booking to service, my appointment at Sojourn was top notch. The reception was warm and attentive the minute I walked in the door. My stylist was professional and friendly. She really took the time to consider what I wanted, what would work best for my hair type and lifestyle, and gave me a great hair cut. I've had lots of people compliment my new hairstyle which is absolutely what you want when you pay good money for someone to cut your hair! I would definitely recommend to others based on my own experience. read more

Just moved back from Florida and was searching on Yelp and Google for a stylist. Salon had great reviews and 5 stars. Phillip was excellent!!! Very professional and took his time. The salon was beautiful and immaculate. I am a retired licensed stylist for 50+ years and considered myself to be the best at the time in my trade so I expect the same now, and that is very hard to find. My hair is fine and getting thin, and I like it to look perfect. Phillip exceeded my expectations on the first visit. He is a master at haircutting and really cares about the results. So happy that I found him. If you are for a great haircut, call and make an appointment. You will not be disappointed! read more

I had my haircut by Mia last night. She is super nice and did a good job dealing with a difficult hair situation. I do like my cut and the service was good. I would recommend them. The only things that I would mention are these 1) their prices are pretty high $72 for a haircut and blow dry 2) they require a 50% deposit for first time appointments (I have never had to leave a deposit for a hair cut appointment in my life -- seemed very strange) and 3) they have a cancellation policy that if you cancel your appointment within 48 hours you have to pay 50% of the service. read more

My stylist was professional & fun. She did exactly what i had asked for an envisioned

I hadn't gotten my hair cut in about 2 years. Morgan completely transformed it! She gave me multiple options and talked me through each one. As a mom, having hair that's low maintenance is important but Morgan made sure it was beautiful and would style easily as well. She explained what she was doing and what products she was using throughout the entire process. The way she talked me through everything made me feel very comfortable. I felt good during and looked good after! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair!!! I don't mind traveling 25 miles to get there. They're that awesome!!!! P.S. My hairdresser is Kelly read more

I have been going to this salon for at least 3 years. The place is very nice inside and the staff is friendly and polite. Shaun cuts my hair and he does an amazing job every time. I used to have long hair and it was not very interesting and I never got compliments on it. Since having Shaun cut my hair short, I often get strangers coming up to me and complimenting my hairstyle. I recommend you give this place a try! Shaun did my hair for my recent wedding and it was so beautiful and glamorous. read more

I'm so confused. This salon has a great reputation. I don't know why my experience was so bad. Despite great customer services my hair coloring turned out just awful. Instead of balayage i got some patches and the roots have different colors from the rest of the hair. So dissapointed. Such a waste of money. read more

Love my cut and balayage by Brandon! He took his time and was very thorough - will definitely be coming back!

This is my second 5 star review. I just can't say enough good things about this salon! Free bang trims between color and cuts- who does that?? Brandon does. He's so great! read more

My wife and I have been going to this salon for over four years now. We are very satisfied and our expectations have always been exceeded with esch visit. The stylists we have are the same as four years ago except they are better trained and experienced and it really makes a difference in the work they do. The stylists do a great job at consulting with us on our desired look and make spot on suggestions! They also suggest products which work for what we need or the look we are striving for. The salon has a very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. We are seen promptly upon our appointed time and since we know our stylists, we have a great time each visit. Booking an appointment is super easy and the text reminders make it impossible to miss your next visit. We would highly recommend this salon to anyone. You won't be disappointed! read more

Four of us went here to get our hair done for my sister's wedding. We were greeted warmly by the staff, and they showed us around the clean, modern space. We brought champagne with, and they had chilled orange juice, champagne flutes, delicious fruit kabobs, and treats from All Chocolate Kitchen waiting for us...exactly what we needed to start this special day off right! There was also an area with a Keurig for coffee, and cucumber and lemon infused water. My stylist was Amanda. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. We talked about what kind of hairstyle I'd like and then she made it happen! I got so many compliments on my hair that day, and it stayed in place all night, even through hours of dancing. The price for a bridal updo was $75 and was well worth it. They offer makeup application as well. This is a great salon for special occasion hair and makeup. read more

This was my first experience with Sojourn and Shaun. Upon entrance I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and offered a beverage. The salon itself is contemporary without being overdone. You can tell that the stylists and their clients have great communication. This was continued with Shaun as we discussed my plans and he gave great feedback while still creating open dialogue. I brought photos of what I wanted and he definitely succeeded. His personality is warm and you can tell he genuinely loves his job and wants his clients to be satisfied. I ended up having a baylage color performed and when I left the salon I couldn't have been happier! I've had my hair died blonde before and left with it feeling dry. Not the case here. My hair felt fabulous, smelled wonderful and is so easy to work with. Also, side note, the scalp/neck massage is fantastic! Additionally the products he used were not overly potent in odor, unlike I have experienced in the past. For those with sensitivity. Also, I would like to mention Philip, the owner made sure to stop by and introduce himself, and to see how my visit was going. This is just another way that the salon stands out! Kudos to y'all! Keep up the great work! I will definitely be back and refer people! read more

Love this salon. Very nice people who work there and lovely ambiance. I had a cut by Shawn I think his name was and he worked some magic. I will be returning! Reasonable prices too. read more

I've been putting off doing my hair for months due to Covid. I'm also admittedly not great about scheduling hair appointments in the first place, but I've been even more hesitant to schedule an appointment now. I felt so comfortable at the salon. I felt like Emily and Brandon really took the time with me to make sure they knew exactly what I wanted. They were also great at communicating with one another, to make sure everybody was on the same page. Brandon was even nice enough to take the time to explain the difference between textured and layered to me, which I've never had a hairstylist do before only to discover that what I really wanted was textured hair and not layered hair. Emily was so great, she took a ton of time explaining all the different ways they were able to color my hair and the benefits of each. And I also appreciated the overall precautions taken by the salon to make everyone feel safe during this pandemic. They are still currently not using any blow dryers, which was totally fine with me and I thought a great way to make everything extra safe. Even without the blow drying, I still felt pampered and like I was getting a great service. I am very excited to come back pandemic or no pandemic. read more

You had me at "may I give you a neck and shoulder massage before we start?" I mean honestly, after a long day and three crazy kids...are you kidding me....AMAZING. This was my first visit and I will be back. Devin did a wonderful job cutting my hair! She listened to what I wanted and asked my opinion along the way. My hair looks and feels great. Thank you, I will definitely be recommending you in the future! read more

Saw Shaun after reading reviews. The best cut for my curly hair I've had it years. For the first time I feel polished

Shaun does an awesome job with my mixed-texture short hair and I suppose I can be pretty picky about my hair. Jacqueline and the rest of the staff really make you feel welcome to be there. Highly recommend this salon to anyone new in the area struggling to find their go to place. read more

The very best haircut,color, and style ever. Amanda is one talented artist as the other artists at this wonderful salon and spa. It's worth the extra money!!# read more

Had an absolutely amazing experience at Sojourn! The staff was very friendly, the waiting area was clean and welcoming, and I felt well taken care of the entire time I was there. I worked with Phillip and my mom worked with Monica for our pre-wedding hair trials. They both did a great job of listening to our preferences and implementing them in a way that looked polished and beautiful. Very excited to see the final product on my wedding day. Please stop by - you won't be disappointed! read more

Sojourn Salon delivers a high quality salon experience without the inflated prices found at some places. I have been going to Sojourn Salon now for 3 years and I have always had a great experience. I see Monica for my hair color and Sean for my hair cut and style. Monica does an amazing job with my hair color and Sean always leaves my hair looking fantastic. They are very friendly and helpful with my style needs. The front desk staff also has great customer service and text and email remembers are very helpful. The atmosphere is very welcoming. I would definitely recommend the salon and Sean and Monica. read more

I admit it. I'm usually a $13 haircut gal. In and out of a cheap "salon" due to my busy schedule. And I never end up happy with my hair. I have curls, thick hair. Nobody seems to know what to do with my hair. Now I went to Sojourn on a whim.The staff is super helpful, and makes comfort a priority. I started with a consultation with Shaun. He has this great mix of science and art when it comes to hair (even curly hair, WOW!). His passion and enthusiasm shows. Super easy conversation between us, like we were buddies. I have finally left a salon feeling happy and loving my hair. I have found my stylist and salon :) read more

I have been going to Phil for more years than I can even count. Even after moving out of state, I absolutely HAVE to visit IL to have Phil cut my hair - he truly is the absolute best!! Awesome salon, great, welcoming staff and very talented expert stylists! :) read more

I love having Amanda do my hair. She gets my style, takes the time see how my hair grows, and cuts it in a way that makes it easy for me to style. Awesome salon too! read more

Jenna did a fantastic job on my lip and eyebrow wax! I've been having this done for many years and I was pleasantly surprised at how it didn't hurt like it usually does for me! I was also very impressed with the salon! Looking forward to going back! read more

The services and staff at Sojourn are the finest I have had in years. Clean, professional, and wonderful. I can not recommend this salon highly enough!! read more

My go to hair salon was in Chicago. We moved to North Aurora less than a year ago and after so many months of searching, I finally came across Sojourn. I initially communicated solely thru Yelp and the owner (Philip) was amazingly responsive which I truly appreciated. After a week or two of communicating with them, I finally was able to come in for a cut and another day for color. Devin cut my hair and Monica did color. Both ladies were so professional and informative and I just loved the experience overall. I am still going thru the process from brunette to ash blonde and Monica was so helpful and explained the whole process before everything got started. She explained that it will likely take several sessions to do this and kept making sure I'm okay with it. I am currently pregnant and she took full consideration of this by taking a much gentler approach. Although I believe that she would have been the same way with any client regardless. I appreciate the care that is being put towards my hair during this process. I'm coming back in 4-weeks, as Monica recommended, to get that ash blonde I'm going for. Overall, I enjoyed everything about the salon, all the services (neck massage and head/massage was may super favorite) and not to forget their little nook completely equipped with studio lighting for the perfect, well-lit, shot of your before and after. I am so glad I have found Sojourn. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend them. You will not regret it! read more

My 15-year old and I had an amazing experience at Sojourn Salon. Phil is the greatest!! Not only did we get incredible haircuts, but Phil also educated us on how to maintain our looks on our own. I highly recommend Sojourn Salon, without a doubt, the best hair salon experience I have ever had in my life!! read more

I moved to Chicagoland a year ago and am so glad I found this salon. My highlights and haircuts are beautiful, with that little bit of edge I'm looking for. I've done some louder colors (pink & purple) mixed in and they've turned out fantastic as well. Devin is a great hairstylist. And I love the iPads with magazines - I can do some serious window shopping during my appointment! read more

I have been going to Phil for almost 12 years now. Great to see him running his own business. He's a lovable wise guy and does a better haircut than anything I've been able to find downtown read more
