I had to write after noticing a person who works a Salon Blue writing fake reviews. I have been a client of the salon and the spa for about 3 years now, and they had this great technician, GENEVIVRE, who quit. I got passed off, without asking, so someone whom I hight doubt is trained or licensed. . The women was fast and efficient. A little two fast and efficient. She thinned out my brows so muc...
Read More On Citysearch badwax 2/21/2008 - poor quality, overpriced, wierd staff, owner doesn't careI had my hair cut/colored by this 18 year old there and they charged around $200 for someone who was just out of school! I got a better haircut at HAIR CUTTERY on BROADWAY!.
Then I had an eyebrow & lip wax. The first time, they burned my brows. It took about a week for the red to go away, after the skin peeled off. The second time, this girl Julie didn't know how to shape them and didn't tri...
Read More On Citysearch lovinlifegirl 2/21/2008 - do not recommendI had a haircut here with Nina, who is very young and sweet, but just out of high school. I was surprised when I got the bill. She gave me a gloss, I did not ask for. Lots of upcharges. The funny thing is, she gave me a color that was the same as hers. It looks good on Nina because she is so young, but on me it was very unnatural. The prices was way too high for her experience and level. The cut...
Read More On Citysearch obamagirl 2/21/2008 - Fabulous waxing among other services!I had to write after noticing 2 very damaging reviews regarding Salon Blue's waxing services. I have been a client of the salon and the spa for about 7 years now, and I have never once had a bad experience. The women who work there are all highly trained, fast and efficient. I have probably seen all of their technicians for brow or bikini waxing and I feel absolutely comfortable and extremely ha...
Read More On Citysearch georgiegirl72 2/16/2008 - AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! STAFF ARE NOT properly trained!1) I scheduled this waxing appointment 2 months ago, with Genevive. Apparently Genevive left and no-one bothered to call and let a 4-year client know. Is it standard practice to just switch client's to other people without asking or letting them know ahead of time?
2) I specifically told the technician I did NOT want them too thin. I said "Natural". These are no-where near natural.
3) I...
Read More On Citysearch nevergohere 2/12/2008 - Best Eyebrow and Bikini waxesI have been going to Laini at Salon Blue for the last 3 years and she, by far, gives the best waxes I have ever had. I usually get a brow wax and a Brazilian bikini wax and she is the best. She is fast, efficient and the least painful I have ever had. I like her a lot. My first time I went to her for a Brazilian I was very nervous and she was kind and walked me through every step. I don't feel ...
Read More On Citysearch am16 2/1/2008 - Wax was NOT worth the money!I visited Salon Blue, Lakeview, for the first time last week. Laini was my "waxer." I had a gift certificate to use and wanted to try a brazilian wax; I also needed an eyebrow wax. I arrived on time and waited in the spa waiting room for a while without any acknowledgment. Laini eventually greeted me and took me into the room. I explained it was my first brazilian and was a little nervous. ...
Read More On Citysearch Jaims1026 1/29/2008 - Beautiful color with awesome shine!I had my hair colored along with a deep conditioning treatment and a gloss last Friday and I am thrilled with the results!! Let me start by saying I am a freak about my hair and this is a new salon for me. I used to go to someone in the suburbs but it was time to find someone great in the city-I live in the West Loop. I had heard great things about both Salon and Spa Blue in Lakeview and in Buckt...

Read More On Citysearch julieapp 10/15/2007 - Don't go - no really!My hair has a difficult texture so I asked if they could cut it, which they said yes to. After $48 and a hair cut that looked like a bowl cut from a blind person the woman at the front desk suggested that maybe I could get a refund and that a manager would call me tomorrow morning (it was Wednes). NO call, so I called around 3:45 the next day. After explaining my situation, Emily said that she...
Read More On Citysearch stay 9/29/2007 - Excellent spa servicesI've been to "Spa" Blue several times and been impressed with Denise for both facials and waxing. In her facials, she has a great sense of touch and leaves my skin looking great! With her waxing skills, she honestly is above and beyond- great technique, fast, as painless as one can ask for. The spa environment in Lakeview is great; North Ave. location is good for waxing because you can hear th...
Read More On Citysearch city_chic 7/11/2007 - suckered into a microdermabrasion "promo" and paid $75 for not seeing results like i normally would. receptionist was misleadingdon't ever go for the microderm "promo." as a 1st time customer, not 1st microderm svc- the process was too fast to actually be effective. the receptionist on the phone wasn't clear that it wasn't full service & thought i was getting a deal for $75. waste of time & $. plus the machine wasn't good. i've had better. too bad i was mislead; i originally called to make an appointment for the full svc...
Read More On Citysearch sylvie78 3/7/2007 - A Dream come trueI have lived in the city for a year now and have been going to Salon Blu since then. It was extremely hard letting go of my stylist in Detroit but I knew it had to be done. I have never had a bad experience there and I highly recommend it to any first time customer. My stylist is Sarah and she was easily the best I have ever had- which I never thoguht I would here myself saying again. The pla...
Read More On Citysearch kbomb 1/31/2007 - Great Stylist -SarahI have been going to Sarah for 2 years and she is the best in the city. She does take time to "know" her clients, and to be honest I feel that Sarah is very thorough in her client consultation, as well as very informative on new styles, products, and knowlegde of what will work and what will not for your hair type. I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair in my life and I have reccommen...
Read More On Citysearch mcaarmy 1/10/2007 - BAD EXPERIENCE WITH SARAThe salon is very welcoming and until I saw the finished product of my hair cut, I was pleasantly surprised by the salon. First of all, I asked "Sara" for a mere trim, clean up the ends and freshen up my hair cut. I left the salon with 45% less hair. Sara tried to lighten the weight of my thick hair and ended up cutting away at all my fullness and leaving me with all these short layers on top ...
Read More On Citysearch chitwngrl 12/28/2006 - Be Careful!!
I went in for a "gloss" and my stylist put in a hint of red promising my already copper (light brown/blonde/red) would be even more pronounced and shiny. My hair came out a very dark brown/red with absolutely no blond. I see no difference in shine. Be careful with a "gloss", it is no different than a color. My eyebrows are a completely different color from my hair, yet they did nothing! My cut...
Read More On Citysearch clarebear101 12/4/2006 - Feel like a million bucks!I am always looking for the "Spa Experience" that will make me want to return. I finally found it. Yeah. First, I tried the basics just to get a feel of the place and got a brow wax and a gloss for my hair. It only made me want more. Not only did I have great brows and hair I feel I was treated like a queen. Julie was soo so great with talking to me about skincare I went back the next week ...
Read More On Citysearch alexasam 5/4/2006 - THE BEST HAIR SALON IN CHICAGO!!!I have been to nearly every salon in Chicago and always return to Salon Blue. No one cares for my curly, red locks like Mary Kay. I am never nervous when I'm sitting in her chair. She always makes me look beautiful!!! I love Salon Blue, the staff and every service I've ever had there...honest.

Read More On Citysearch avieve421 1/26/2006 - stylist with an agendaI saw Brenda at Salon Blue a few times. First time, she criticized what the previous stylist had done (I had recently moved to Chi and hadn't been to a salon in 3 months - I was overdue, but I had loved the cut/color when it was done). She suggested a shorter cut, more traditional hilights...I said I'd prefer longer hair and funkier color. Over the next few appointments, my hair got shorter an...
Read More On Citysearch suprfrk 1/14/2006 - Get a cute new haircutThis Lakeview salon is the best. The stylists are friendly and they know what they're doing. The spa upstairs is nice, but you can hear the muffled rumble of the El train behind the building. It's loud enough to be distracting if you're not fully relaxed, but the massage therapist is very good.
Read More On Citysearch d0r0thy98 3/16/2005 - A+ Experience at Salon BlueI'm new to Chicago, and read reviews before booking a haircut with Katrina. I walked with my "Fun New Hair" folder full of cute haircut photos, showed her what I liked, and then said, "I'm in the mood for total renovation. Do whatever you think is best." She cut my hair dry (which I liked, as it's wavy and sometimes stylists are surprised by how short it dries), recommended new color (I have a ro...
Read More On Citysearch scharber 12/16/2004 - OK cut, excellent facialThe receptionists gave me little instructions when I walked in the door, so I felt clueless. Brenda gave me an OK cut. I later returned and she was willing to re-do it. It is still OK, nothing special. I felt that she did try to do everything possible to please me, but they don't specialize in cuts here. She did recommend some GREAT hair products though. I will probably return for highlights soon...

Read More On Citysearch carebear16 10/16/2003 - Andreanna is amazingI change my hair every couple of months and Andreanna is by far the best stylist/colorist I have ever been to. She is friendly, helpful, but not pushy, and has a great vision of what a good cut/color will look like. I believe the best advertisement for a stylist is a great cut/color and after I see her, people are always complementing me on my hair. I seriously have told dozens of people to go ...
Read More On Citysearch j_fico 7/18/2003 - They Pad the Bill!On my first few visits, I would have given Salon/Spa Blue a 9.5. They are much friendlier than other Salons in their category, and my hair looked great.
However, after my first few visits, service declined and the price went up. My $65 single-process color went up to $83, with no explanation. When I questioned the receptionist at check-out, she shrugged and said I had to discuss it with the styl...
Read More On Citysearch ejgiese 3/13/2003 - Great MassageMy hubby and I went to Salon & Spa Blue for Massages and it was fabulous. The receptionists on the first floor were a bit standoffish, but both the massage therapists and the receptionist on the second floor were so friendly. I would definately go back again! And, we even managed to find parking - not a common occurance in that neighborhood!

She listened to what I wanted, made some suggestions, and viola! The best cut I've ever had! From Rene's washing my hair to Andreana's final blow dry, I felt at ease from the moment I entered. My complentary make-up touch up by Sharon was also great! I'm new to the area a...
Read More On Citysearch kellymartin 2/21/2003 - Snobby, unproffessional...The front desk is snobby and unfriendly. The atmosphere is very thick and full of tension. They are full of themselves. The staff needs to lighten up.
Read More On Citysearch Marlee 2/11/2003 - Talented IndividualsThis place is a great expereince. The stylists are truely talented with the up to the minute styles. This is a small salon that they treat you like you are a person and a face with a name, not just a number. It is really clean, the staff could not be any nicer and it is all together a great experience. Worth a shot and everey $.
Read More On Citysearch mweinstein 1/17/2003 - automated carwashThis is a great salon if you want to try something new... Stylists have a knack for knowing what works for you and what won't. However, it is very expensive and rushed -- while you are getting your hair washed, someone else is being dried, and so on... It's an efficient system, but appointments always run over because of the number of clients they try to cram into appointment times. Beware of...

Read More On Citysearch cece_scooter 10/10/2002 - Wedding MarcherI have been going here for over ten years - Katrina the owner does my hair and she is truly an artist. I just recently was married and for a day like that you have to be with someone you trust.
I defected for a couple of years to Salon 1800, but I returned to where I know I get the most consistent quality even though the prices are a little higher.

Read More On Citysearch kateleigh 9/12/2002 - BAD HAIR DAYI've had worse hairduts in my life but none for which I paid over $20 until I went to Salon Blue. The stylist (the same one who is touted so highly in the earlier postings) I saw was overbooked and indifferent and charged me full price for a quick cut. Even after I told her that the style & length would not work for me, she told me it was right. I won't go back.

I just put myself in her hands and let her go to town. They have all sorts of massages, treatments etc. You could not ask for a more relaxing down to earth atmosphere. Unlike those stuffy salons, this one has got pizzazzzzzzz.
