Hair emergency solved!…read more I was so fortunate to find Ciao Bella salon! Had a bit of a hair emergency that needed fixing and Colette was more than accommodating. I had attempted to color my own hair and it really didn't look great. I needed a professional! She was able to work her color magic on my hair and the color was so much better than I had hoped. Not a trace of my mistake - I am so happy and can't recommend this salon enough!

My sister in law recommended Ciao Bella Salon. Collette cut my hair and I couldn't be happier. I…read morecut off 4 inches and already I got a lot of compliments. I feel truly blessed to have meet her and have had her cut my hair. And the best part is she is also a Christian. To all the believers and non-believers out there, ask for Collette. You won't regret it!

Wowza! I had been going to the same person for 14 years and loved her work but was not able to keep…read moremaking the drive back to IL since we now lived in St. Chas. I did a Yelp search and voila! I found my new hair magician! Ok, so long story short, haircuts scare me. I never feel like I'm explaining myself well enough for the person to really know what I'm looking for and I'm super clueless about what's even going to look good given my super round face (ugh). Deana was amazing...she's super down to earth, fantastic to talk to (I was there for 3 hours and it felt like we had been friends for years) and seriously knows what she's doing when it comes to cuts AND color. Daaang! And I hear she's pretty good at the waxing too, so a triple threat!!! I'm always a little nervous to see what everything looks like at the end (because I typically have my glasses off the entire time) but this time, I was pretty at ease. I trusted her and it was easy to because she discussed everything and clearly knew what she was doing every step of the way. So glad to have found her! Hope she likes clingy ladies because I'm not going anywhere else now!

She was able to get us in within a couple of days and even though there was some confusion about what we wanted she was able to fit us in and get everything we needed done. I highly recommend Deana!

I called early in the morning to make a first customer appointment and was disappointed to learn by…read morethe receptionist that in order to make that first appointment, I was required to put a card into n file or a down payment of $25 to hold that appointment. I explain that I had a personal policy of not putting any credit cards on file due to identity theft concerns and that I was willing to come in later with a cash deposit if necessary but was not happy with the policy. I received a call on my voicemail about 10 minutes later from the owner stating that they canceled my appointment until they received deposit. I checked their website again and it states that they except walk in appointments, which does not require, any form of deposit or appointment at all so I'm confused as to why this policy is even in place for a new customer. First impressions matter and I just didn't feel the love. Single Star.

I immediately told her I was was also a stylist, so she quickly asked me the necessary questions about what she needed to do to make me feel "cleaned up" during my growing out process.

The shop is relaxed, clean, comfy and friendly!

Kirsten & Julia did wedding hairstyles for me and my 7 bridesmaids. From the moment I started…read moreworking with Kirsten, she was professional, organized, and really took the time to understand my bridal party. She helped set the tone for my wedding day by making sure we would all be ready to go on time. Not only did they do a great job with everyone's hair, she made it such that we weren't rushed. She even figured out how to secure my great grandmother's antique dress belt buckle into my hair. I visited the salon to do my trial run & during that visit, Kirsten really focused on what I wanted, how to make it work, and took photos to document our discussion. She listened to & answered my questions about how to best prepare my hair before the big day. The salon seemed laid back and comfortable. Can't recommend her enough for special event hair styling. If I didn't live in Chicago, I would definitely go to her to get my hair done all the time!

I made an appointment for 330 on a Saturday and they closed at five and I wanted an area highlight,…read morebut something that would cover the gray and potentially a little trim and the employee that was helping me was adamant that she did not have the time for that. I decided I would go with just the color aspect because I had a lot of gray and in talking with her, she said it sounded like I wanted to touch up and highlight, and that she simply did not have the time to do that within an hour and a half and was unable to help me. This is the first time that has happened, but there have been many instances of different things at Fantastic Sam's in general. There's literally no one in the salon and they are all just sitting around. Seems like they don't really want to work.

For the last year or so I have basically not been giving the color that I have wanted when I walk…read morein the door and tell them like Saturday morning I walked in I said my highlights are growing out I just need the roots touched up and I need a trim she said well this hair color looks a little yellow I said well yeah you can do you know fix that if you want to she ends up coloring my whole head mousy Brown and just a few needle slivers of blonde just kind of spread throughout my hair but very infrequently where if you're standing like in front of me like maybe 5 ft you look at me my hair is mousy Brown you don't see any highlights and I didn't tell her to do that so it's pretty pathetic and when I was there and I looked at it I thought maybe the lighting was wrong or something so I got home and I looked in the mirror and I said Jesus I haven't had mousy brown hair in a long time. So I called Saturday and they said they would have the manager (and they acted like they didn't want to give me the manager's first name like what am I going to do look her up find her house and go you know set a fire or explode her house up I mean just wanted to know her first name so I know who I need to speak to but I mean literally it was like pulling teeth just to get her name)call me back but it might not be till the 31st well today is the 1st and I still haven't heard from them I just left a couple messages all I expect is for me to go in there and them to do my hair like I wanted it done in the first place cuz last time they killed my whole head blonde no highlights and I called and said something they never call me back and I never followed up cuz I'm the kind of person that I'm just like don't want to rock the boat don't want to hurt nobody's feelings don't want to piss anybody off so I'll suffer through something because of that well I'm trying to stand up for myself and without being aggressive I'm trying to talk to these people and they're dodging me. I don't want to make it into this big ordeal or this big fiasco or this huge stress upon my shoulders I just want them to talk to me and come to a resolution either refund my money or do my hair the way I want it I'm the customer and I'm sick of being shit on. So no I did not forget get the service I requested and the quality was extremely negative because it wasn't what I asked it for I don't want mousy brown hair I want big blonde highlights.
