  43. 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 ...

    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...

We agreed I needed to let the cut grow out a bit be...

  163. Talented stylists - Spyros & Anna are experts at their craft
    I have been to Spyros for extensions and Anna for color - they are both terrific, absolutely terrific. I had extensions before going to Spyros and they never looked right. After having them done by Spyros, they look very natural, just like they should. Anna does a great job with my color. It comes out perfect every time. I would definitely recommend both of them! -Cynthia

    Ok. So there are those few people who are just "Unhappy" in life. So the two or three reviews on here that are negative, they are NOT true. THIS IS THE BEST SALON EVER! Everyone is SUPER friendly, and honestly great at what they do. I go to Anyone for a cut or manicure. Who ever is open, I am in. I trust EVERYONE.

  230. A Gold medal for this Gold Coast Establishment
    I went on my instinct and a recommendation from a friend to go to Joseph Michaels to get my hair cut. That was great! Knowledgeable and very stylish, modern approach to cutting and styling. I was very impressed with how little I had to say for Megumi to have my hair say so much. I went to get a message on my second visit and it was incredible as well. I was used to the mediocre massages at my fit...

  232. User review by seriously
    Homa is an absolutely incredible manicurist (and pedicurist!) and Joseph Michaels is an amazing find. Homa is exceptional -- she will definitely become your best friend, and the best thing that ever happened to your nails. She is not only skilled but meticulous (honestly, an artist), and also an engaging and generous person. I was so impressed with the care and attention that Homa paid, with t...

  233. not-so-great
    Had heard good thing about Joseph Michael's from a co-worker. I find the place very boring, the atmpsphere was very basic and unimaginitavie and the therapist seemed like she was going through the motions of a massage with her mind and heart totally somewhere else. I had one not-so-great experience.

  234. STAY AWAY!!
    I went to Joseph Michael's last week and the environment isn't quite as peaceful as I thought it would be. The woman who gave me a facial was very aggressive in persuading me for additional services (i.e. masks) and even though I refused, she continued to pressure me. It made me uncomfortable and uneasy that she would not do a good job when I still refused. My friend and I went in to get a facia...

  235. BEST MASSAGE EVER!
    Being male, I was hesitant to go to a male massage therapist. However, when I called Joseph Michael's to set up a massage appointment, they convinced me to give Daniel a try. And I am extremely glad I did! It was, hands down, the best massage I've ever had. I will never go to another massage therapist again. In fact, after my appointment, I bought a 60-minute massage gift certificate for my ...

    The best staff, location, atmosphere, services and so on. There's not a thing I would change! I feel at home every time I walk in. I have been going there each week for 8 years and I wouldn't consider every changing salons! Love all the staff! You guys are the greatest! Joan

    I have been a regular client at Joseph Michael's for over 5 years.....getting weekly manicures, pedicures monthly and hair styling every 4-5 weeks. I wouldn't THINK of going anywhere else. After trying many other salons in the city, Irina gives the BEST manicure/pedicure anywhere and Daniel is absolute professional hair stylist. In addition, it is a wonderful and comfortable salon to welcome y...

  239. DANIEL'S AMAZING MASSAGE
    I've had many massages in the past, and I can honestly say that Daniel is the most skilled, talented massage therapist I've ever experienced. He is absolutely wonderful....a natural. He makes you feel completely comfortable and relaxed. His massages are perfection. Get a 60 minute though--because 30 minutes only leaves you wanting more! You'll feel like a new person after his magic touch. ...

    I live in Indianapolis, IN and travel to Joseph Michael's (190 miles one-way) to have JD cut and color my hair. I started seeing him over 2 years ago and will never go to anyone else. I can't begin to tell you how awesome he is. I would have never let my hair grow out if he wouldn't have been my stylist. It is usually not to glamorous letting it grow out but he made it very glamorous. Our da...

    I previously went all over town frequently changing salons to find a good manicurist. Then I found Irina. She is the best in the city and I have been a steady customer for several years now. She is a perfectionist and is not satisfied unless she produces the highest quality of work. Every week I leave and my nails are flawless. I would not think of going anywhere else now that I found her!! .

    I have been going to Renata for facials for the past six months. My skin has never looked this good. She is very skilled in her field. After one close look at your skin, Renata can assess and customize the appropriate treatment for you. She is also incredibly friendly. I have tried a number of different salons in the city, and they all pale in comparison.

    Maggie is the absolute best for manicures and pedicures! I have been going to the salon for 5 years and now that I don't live in Chicago anymore, I still drive down from Milwaukee every 8 weeks to see James for my haircuts and highlights, and Maggie still on occasion when I can. I highly recommend James for hair and Maggie for nails. They are always on time!
