Waxing the City

Channing was so kind and was amazing!! She definitely made me feel comfortable for my first time getting waxed. I will definitely be back to see her!! Amazing atmosphere and wonderful staff. The young lady at the front desk was also very sweet and accommodating. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

My first experience with Waxing the City was great. Great customer service, my tech(Channing) made me feel welcomed and comfortable. I highly recommend for your waxing needs. My next appointment I will try a vajacial  with a Brazilian.

Marilynn is my girl! She will make you feel so comfortable, especially if it’s your first time waxing anything. The place and staff are so nice. It is a nice short getaway for pampering yourself!

I had the BEST experience as a walk in. The facility was very clean and they even offer complementary snacks. They sell brow products, serums and other skin car products. Rah was my aesthetician she was very professional and and personable. As a first time client of Waxing the City, Rah made me feel very comfortable as she explained each step in the process. Rah was also very knowledgeable as she offered advice on how to take care of my skin in between services to prevent in grown hairs. This place is a GOD send! Definitely my new wax home. If you’re looking for a new wax bar, check out Waxing the City. Ask for Rah!

It's a good place to get waxed. Not sure how else to say it. They cheerfully rip out all the unwanted hairs you have. Marilynn was amazing and very detailed. She did an outstanding job.

2 Blowout Bar

I got a blow dry at this salon and asked for curls and not too much volume and showed her a photo of what I was looking for. After blow drying my hair it looked puffy with no curls in sight and worse than I could have done myself at home. I asked the stylist to use a curling iron which she did but she didn’t do anything about the roots. I’m the end it was a far cry from the smooth results I get at my regular stylist. Here are my “curls” and frizzy roots two hours later.

Horrible! Is the first word that comes to mind when I think about my experience at the salon.  From the moment I walked in until the minute I left (without getting my hair done) I felt like they didn’t want my business and since I wasn’t a “regular” didn’t seem to value me as a client.  I had called earlier in the day to confirm my appointment which they told me was at 2:00 pm. When I arrived at that time the unfriendly receptionist told me I was 30 minutes early.  I told her I had called to confirm, she didn’t seem to care or apologize.  Ok it happens. The stylist that I had scheduled my appointment with was running late. I politely told the receptionist that I had a wedding that evening in the city and that I needed to be out of the salon shortly.  She looked at me like that was my problem and said to please sit down and they would try and find another stylist.  They did find someone else that they wanted to charge me more money for.  I said I wasn’t going to pay more because of THEIR mistake.  Then some rude woman came up to and told me that my only choice would be for me to wait for the original stylist.  They clearly did not want my business.  I ended up leaving without getting my hair done.  Not only will I not return to this salon, but I will spread the word to my friends to avoid this unprofessional and unorganized salon!

I didn't care for this salon at all. The women who worked there barely spoke English which made it challenging to tell them how i wanted my hair done. They talked incessantly among themselves in a foreign language, perhaps Farsi, which I think is very rude. They also looked like they just rolled out of bed; not at all professional. But, the crux of the matter is they did not do a good job blow-drying my hair. The operator,  who often held her blow dryer between her knees, did not do my hair how I wanted and I finally gave up. The blow dry barely lasted through my daughter-in-law's bridal shower and certainly not the next day. Normally when I get my hair professionally blow-dried, it lasts at least three days. The woman who TRIED to do French braids on my 9-year-old granddaughter also failed miserably. It took her an hour of braiding and rebraiding her hair, which also did not stay nice-looking even for the duration of the shower. I would definitely not return there and would recommend that you try another salon in the Highland Park area. I rarely give a negative review but this was a total waste of $70.

Absolutely love meemee for facials and thai body work.  She has helped my acne so much!  Will follow her anywhere

They let a service dog sit on the couch where we sit.the owñer won't do anything about it.not a clean salon.

Le Blowout Bar

I had my hair and makeup for my wedding done at Le Blowout Bar and they did a fantastic job making sure all the ladies in my wedding party looked picture perfect! We were treated very well and they made sure all of our needs were taken care of. They made what could have been a very stressful morning serene and worry free!
A big thank you to Michelle and your wonderful staff! You made my wedding day beautiful!

Great service! Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The stylists are all very talented. I have had several great blow outs. My daughter has had a keratin treatment with amazing results. Her make-up and blow out for HOCO was elegant and beautifully done. We could not be happier each time we leave the salon.

Had a great experience at Le Blowout! My mom and I both got our hair done for a wedding and loved how our looks came out. The women were talented, good at listening to our hair goals and delivering, and prompt. I highly recommend.

A good blo-out is hard to find and I rate this place an A+. It was better than any dry-bar that I have visited. We came in as a party of 3 and we were all thrilled by the professional styling.  I love their shampoos (Moroccan Oil and Matrix professional).

My mom and I came in for a blowout and had amazing service.  The staff was prompt, friendly and did an amazing job on both of our hair.  The atmosphere is beautiful.  A great 45 minute escape from reality with the bonus of having great looking hair when you leave!  I will be back!

Drybar Louys salon

I heard about Drybar Louys Salon from a client. She had many great things to say about them, so I decided to check them out. Needless to say, they have stellar reviews. What really got my attention is that they're open on Sundays, which is rare for salons. Sam has cut and styled my hair and has done an exceptional job each time. Very friendly,  kind, and professional, to say the least. Lastly,  their price is surprisingly lower than expected, especially for Sunday service.

Thank you for the great service!

Louy’s DryBar is my favorite salon, and I happily drive an hour to go get my hair done there! Louy’s haircuts always look incredible (and he’s so quick with a trim/cut!!), and Tatjana does a fantastic job with color. I would not dare go anywhere else for my hair. The team is amazing, super professional, and extremely talented.

Louy is hands down the BEST. I have a lot of hair and it usually takes someone an hour to blow dry it. Louy does it in half the time and it always looks fabulous!  His salon is super nice. He really does the greatest job.

Best blowout I’ve ever had!!! Sam David did an amazing job on my naturally curly hair. Best of all, it only took 30 minutes! This was my first time at Louys Drybar and everyone in the salon made me feel welcome. I will absolutely be back!

I have been going to Sam for 5 years for cuts and blow drys (and sometimes colors) and he is AMAZING!! He saved my hair when it was very damaged from bleach. I will follow him wherever he goes! Everyone at Louy’s Salon is so personable, talented, and a joy to be around! I highly recommend this salon and Sam!! I wish it were an option to give him 10 stars!!

BloOuts Blow Dry Bar

I've been seeing Lena for my weekly blow out and flat iron for almost a year now. She is always on time, works diligently, and does a great job on my long, wavy hair. The front staff, Alice, and other stylists are very professional and friendly as well. Their blow out packages are a great value compared to the numerous other salons in the area. Overall, happy with my experience at BloOuts in HP.

Alice is an amazing receptionist and she introduced me into Val who did the very best highlights on my hair! He took his time and his design was perfect! Lena did an awesome job blow drying my hair! They all deserve 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Cristina is amazing!!! I see her every week and she continues to give me the most fabulous blowouts that last for up to a week. She’s able to do many different styles, but my favorite is the loose beach wave curls she does. I always get so many compliments on my hair when I leave the salon. Definitely book a blow out with her! You won’t regret it :)

Wonderful Style, fine hair looking voluminous and lasts! Lena is great !

The best blow outs! Lena is amazing- I come all the way from the city to see her! There’s no one better. No to mention, they are fast!  Highly recommend.

Blowout Junkie

I like the stylists this isn’t about them at all…

I keep getting random unauthorized charges on my card. I’ve reached out multiple times and have been told the owner is not available and I’d get a call back from her. No one has ever called me back. Something is up with the owner  and very deceptive business practices. I read other reviews and see this is a more common theme. Will be cancelling my membership here.

Owner- If you’re reading this, I have emails with you copied and you never responded. I know my account is on high alert because I saw it on the computer screen at the checkout desk. You’re still unable to address or contact me back which blows my mind.

I received a french braid job that was terrible. The braids itself were fine, but the stylist used some sort of product that left my hair sticky and made it look soaking wet. She did not tell me she was going to use any hair product like this. I had to take it down immediately. It took 3 hair washes to get this substance out of my hair. They have been giving me the run around regarding a refund. I was told to email Nicole and it’s been 2 weeks and I have not gotten a response. I called the salon and another stylist told me she would contact Nicole and I still have heard nothing. Very unprofessional. I do not recommend services here based on my experience.

Stylist was very helpful with asking about my hair type to know what products to use to hold my hair. I loved the outcome! I Would come back here !

Luz did my hair for a wedding and it looked amazing and stayed well put throughout one of the most humid days in Chicago! Would go see Luz again!

I went here for an updo for a friends wedding. First of all, they put me with a different stylist than who I booked with. I intentionally didn’t book with that stylist because she had a lot of availability which made me worried of her skill level. I showed her some pictures of what I was interested. The back somewhat looked like it, the front did not at all. It looked sloppy and undone. I asked her to fix specific things multiple times but it kept looking the same, I asked for a braid, she asked if a twist was ok, I got neither. It was falling out within two hours of wearing it. I couldn’t stay long enough to get it fixed and just had to eat $100 for a hair style I honestly could have done better myself. Super disappointing experience.

Trixie Girl Blow Dry Bar - West Loop

My girlfriends and I came to town for a concert. We called last minute & were able to get all 4 of us in. The wash was relaxing & both stylists did exactly what we asked for. Both very kind and helpful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The worst place to do your makeup , better if u do it at home.She didn’t seem like she knew what she was doing.I asked her to do my eyeliner and she said she can’t do it , she needs more practice?? then I asked to apply bronzer and she said she doesn’t have one ?are u serious? Waste of my time and money , had to fix everything at home.Unbelievable how this place still in business.

Great service.  There were four of us in town for a concert and walked in. They were able to fit all four of us  in and did amazing work on all of us

I really do love the location of this place, the salon and it's convenient. Most of the stylists are friendly and approachable. However, there is one stylist that is just rude & mean. It's honestly turning me off from continuing to go here. She tends to be there on weekends. Some say it's because of a language barrier, but I disagree. She's not friendly, always makes you wait, spends extra time on other clients she likes, is rough, and each time she has done my hair it's turned out awful. The last time I was there I waited 30 min bc she went over on another appt and she was done with my hair in 25 min. I waited longer than my blow out took. I looked like a poodle but I was already so upset with the experience, I went to another salon after to help. I wish we could see which stylists we are booked with when we make an appt, because I would intentionally not book with her. I don't feel welcome when she is there and she is not inclusive to different hairstyles or textures. I've had her several times and after the last visit with her and how I was treated I just can't do it.

Made an appointment for a blow out for 1:15 on 9/29 before a wedding. Arrived at the bar early only to have them ask if they could push back my appointment. I said no because unfortunately my timing was already tight and I needed to get to the ceremony on time. They did call me to ask about 10 minutes before my appointment was scheduled, but nevertheless, if I couldn't do it the appointment should stand. So I said no, I couldn't wait, and the two people in the bar said nothing. Another woman walked in after me and they got to work on her right away. No asking if she could wait until after I was done. I had to ask if they going to be able to fit me in on time or if I should cancel, and they said yeah cancel and gave me an insincere apology. Very disappointing customer service, would not recommend.
**Edit** Owner of Salon was super communicative and helpful in resolving issue. Sent me a certificate for a free blow out, which was much appreciated. I went back to give the space another try. It was a pleasant experience, and my hair looked nice. I wasn't overwhelmed with the service but I appreciated how my issue was resolved!

Tamed Blow Dry & Beauty Bar

I never leave bad reviews but had to here. Made an appointment, confirmed, filled out the waiver, and when I arrived nobody was available to do my hair. The stylist was unfriendly and instead of welcoming me, said “she was trying to get me out of there as soon as possible”. Went to get a coffee while she texted people off to the side, and there was no water in the Keurig. Then she said she could do my hair if it was washed. It was very bizarre and I just left without getting my hair done and was disappointed on my bday. The manager called me and said she could give me a 15% discount…no thanks lol. Do not recommend!

Made an appt for 8 am to get my hair done the morning of my engagement photos. I called week of to confirm AND confirmed via email. When I showed up for my appt it was empty inside. A girl emerged from the back at 8 am and said she needed to set some things up. Turns out she was there for a different client and she questioned me whether I even had an appt. When I showed her my email confirmation and told her who it was with she said she had never even heard of the person. I talked to the manager on the phone who said the stylist’s Uber was late and she could maybe be there by 8:30am. We live in Chicago where you can get get an Uber within minutes at basically any hour of the day, so I don’t accept that excuse.  I didn’t have time to waste considering I had pictures scheduled at 10:30 am and now needed to run back home and wash, dry, and curl my hair myself. I am so disappointed I trusted this salon for an important event and do not recommend anybody else does either.

Great experiences two times with two different stylists. After easy online reservations, I did a dry style twice and my daughter did a blowout. The stylists were very efficient getting us out, but also didn’t rush us at all. I was able to get work done on one of my visits connecting to their WiFi.
I also felt the rates were super reasonable.
Owner was there on my first visit. She clearly takes a lot of pride in her salon which is nicely done and clean. Her staff was delightful and talented. She even has a hand drawn book of the style options that she did.

Tamed is great! They had a team doing complimentary blowouts at an event at the Kendra Scott store on Michigan Ave. They were the life of the party! The stylists were so kind, helpful, and bubbly. My hair looked great and lasted days. 10/10 recommend

It's not just a fabulous place for blow outs.  I am here every time I come to Chicago and this time, added a root touch up to the appointment. I was really pleased with the time they took to color match and the stylists were so much fun to chat with too.

Drybar - Lincoln Park

I went to this Drybar location for the first time last Friday, 9/15/2023, although I was worried and had doubts about whether this salon could do black hair textures. I gave them a shot, and let me say I was pleasantly surprised. My stylist was Alex, and he slayed my hair. He did a fantastic job with my thick 3C/4A hair texture. He took his time going section by section to ensure my hair was properly blown out, laid silky flat, and, lastly, added bouncy curls. Giving me exactly the look I wanted. Alex left me walking out of the salon, happy and confident!

How many DryBar locations are there? 150? But there is only one Jasmine and we have her at Lincoln Park!  She is so knowledgeable and so talented and can make your hair look the best it will ever look—-plus she’s professional and charming and FAST! She’s a true treasure and I love her!

Andres was INCREDIBLE! It was my first time at DryBar and he made the entire experience amazing. I was in and out so quickly and my hair has genuinely never looked better. I told him my goals and he delivered and then some. Will be returning to see him again and again!!

Andres is such an amazing stylist and person! His bright energy always makes me feel welcome, pretty, and confident! All the stylists are wonderful. :)

I stopped by Drybar to get a blowout and Liz was my stylist. She was fantastic! She took her time with curling my hair and straightening my flyaways. It was a lovely experience!

Trixie Girl Blow Dry Bar Lincoln Park

Iris was friendly and gave me a great blowout that should last a week (with a bit of combing). I went to Trixie’s over a year ago when visiting Chicago and found them again this trip. I highly recommend them.

They were very capable. They got me in and out in a half hour!  I totally recommend them . They are very professional and listens to the needs of their customers.

Unfortunately, when I scheduled an appointment here for my bridal shower in late September, I was super disappointed. My appointment was at 8am for a noon shower. I wanted to do a half up/half down and had indicated that on the paperwork. However, when I arrived the stylist told me she could not do that and could only do curls and is not sure why the manager booked her. It was incredibly disappointing. Since it was the morning of the shower and I was short on time and I’m not good at curling my own hair, I got my hair done anyways. It was not what I wanted and I ended up putting it up. Overpriced and frustrating to not be able to have all styles or have more upfront communication outside of not leaving a message when I was unable to answer during work hours. Do not go here.

Miley did a phenomenal job! I asked for a round brush blowout and she delivered. It stayed for my engagement photos which were outside, and still looks perfect the next day! Would absolutely recommend her.

Vicky was soooo great. My hair looked fire fire. And she was also so polite and friendly.

:)

Ill likely come again for my next occasion.
