Edwin saved my hair
My hair had been seriously damaged by getting over-treated by another local salon. It was breaking off and falling out at an alarming rate. My color wasn't what I wanted, but the colorist at Mario Tricoci would not respond to my concerns. I went to JM and met with Edwin and he saved my hair. He was able (over time) to get all the dead and over-processed hair dealt with and my hair feels great ...

A great team addition - Aquiles Molina

Mediocre service for an Expensive Price!
I hate to start this on a negative note, but nonetheless, Joseph Michael's is terribly over priced, and ridiculously OVER RATED. Do not trust these people, prices have a tendency to change, the stylists are sitting on a pedestal and will mangle your hair with their dangly arms. The manicurist must have Parkinson?s, because they can not draw a straight line to save their lives, the spa was okay, i...

I've been going to Patrick to have my hair cut for years. I was referred to him by a friend who raved about his abilities.

After years of watching my hair turn grey I started thinking about coloring it. I talked with...

Chicago's Best Esthetician
Nicole Ciesla is the premiere esthetician in the city. Facing acne problems, I first sought the advice of "expert" dermatologists, but to no avail.

Don't Go To Spyros
My mom had done a color treatment and haircut with Spyros. Oh My God, when I saw it, I was shocked!

Hello all you who want great lenghts extentions. DO NOT go to Josehp Michaels with Spyro.

Escape with Bobbie
I was in desperate need of some relaxation so I decided to get a facial and massage. Bobbie was my Esthetician I enjoyed my sessions with her because I can just relax and let the stress of the day slip by. I truly recommend Bobby to anyone that appreciates the best in life. You come out of there very relaxed and calmed. The massage seemed to take away all my cares. Bobbie did my facial as well...

Thank you Megumi!
I recently went to Trio salon in Wicker Park and received the worst haircut by one of the students there. It was the biggest mistake I've ever made by trusting my hair into the hands of an apprentice. He gave me a terrible cut and cut off 8 inches of hair leaving it into a short bob with uneven bangs. For the first time, I was literally running out of the salon crying. That was the last time I wi...

Best massage from Bobbie !
I've had massage with Bobbie and it was amazing !!! As soon as she touched me I felt at ease and could sense my body was starting to let go, she did this one movement that literally heated the area where she was working on and used long strokes down my back, which made me feel like my back was getting a nice stretch. I loved the face and head massage during which I actually drifted away, which...

Looking for a new stylist? Michelle is fantastic!
I was in Chicago for work and was in desperate need of a good haircut. It had been 5 months since I last got my haircut in Seatte--a bad cut, way too short and choppy. (I have long, really thick hair--so, a good haircut is really important.) I picked Joseph Michael's Salon after reading the other reviews on Citysearch and was able to get an appointment the same day I called. Michelle is an ex...

JD and Maggie Rock!
As much as I'd love to tell people to stay way so I can get a appointment whenever I want one, I must sing their praises. JD has been cutting my hair since...I had hair. And Maggie French Manicure's are so amazing, you'd think she invented them!

You'll never want to go anywhere else
I can't praise this salon enough- I have been getting my hair cut by Brian for about a year now and I have never been as happier with a hairstylist. Now, my whole family goes to him because he knows what he is doing, does it amazingly well, and seems to really enjoy it too. I've had the pleasure of working with a lot of the staff and they all make me feel like someone special from the second I wa...

Chicago's Best Kept Secret
I've been going to Maggie for nearly five years... after years of bouncing around to different salons. Maggie gives the best manicures (and, by far, the best pedicures) in all of Chicago. Pedicures can sometimes last six weeks... even in the summer. Recently started going to Renata for facials and she is absolutely fabulous... my skin has never looked so healthy. I have recommended both...

Renata
I've been going to Renata to have my eyebrows done for about 6 months and she does a fabulous job. She's the only person who's ever gotten them right, and they've never looked better. I can't wait to try one of her facials - I'm sure they're wonderful. I highly recommend her!

Bobbie's massage
I visited Joseph Michaels today, after calling earlier for a massage appointment. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a massage with Bobbie, and it was excellent. Only regret was that I didn't book it for more time! Great place - will definitely visit again.

Friendly and talented
Every time I step into Joseph Michael's, I know I'll be treated so well. The friendly atmosphere makes you feel so comfortable (How did they find such nice AND talented people?) Daniel is the best for hair, and either Maggie or Homa for my nails.

Secret is out.
I really hate to let this secret get away. Hands down, they have the best overall experience you'll find - unless you're looking for attitude or a snoby staff. If you want to feel comfortable, this is the place for you. It's real. They are friendly, friendly and guess what? They have some of the best people of the industry. I'am a working mom and I feel just as special as the news anchor sitting ...
