congratulation!
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 currently drive 2 hours (one way) for an "Amy cut," and would never think of changing. She takes time to listen and is so skilled at creating the best look for any type of hair. Whether you are looking for a trim or a total change, Amy is the best!
While Aquiles is new to the salon, he's been doing my hair for 10+ years and has always done a superb job on my color/ hi-lites/cut! A perfectionist who takes pride in his work and truly has a passion for hair... will never change!
I moved to Chicago from Denver after getting my hair highlighted for the first time ever in Denver I wanted to get my hair done by someone who would get what I wanted. Stacie is amazing and has been doing my color and styling ever since I moved here. She is awesome!
I've gone to Ashley Jensen, currently of Joseph Michael's Salon and Spa, for years for haircuts and eyebrow help, as well as ocassionally for highlights, and I've never had a more satisfying experience. She's friendly, she asks questions to find out what you want, and she does exactly what you're asking for, but it turns out even better than what you thought it would! I would recommend her to a...
For many years I have worked with my stylist, Amy, who is skilled in her profession, friendly to all, customers and coworkers alike. As soon as I began going to her, I stayed!! I have never been dissatisfied with her results, but always feel great with a new haircut or highlights that she has done for me. Lately I have also worked with Edwin, who is a new stylist, but well on the way to becoming...
I've been going to Neung at Joseph Michael's for my manicures and pedicures for over 3 years now and am pleased to write that she gives me the best nail service I've ever received. I always feel so welcome when I walk in the door at Joseph Michael's; I live in the neighborhood and appreciate that the staff and atmosphere is laid back and non-pretentious. In addition to doing the best manicure...
The staff is very courteous and helpful. No attitudes here. Stacie simply gives the best haircut i have ever had.
Stacie has been doing my hair for quite awhile and she is the best. The way she shapes and cuts my hair, no matter how long it gets between haircuts it always looks great. She is a great colorist and I get many compliments on how great my hair always looks. I will ALWAYS go to Stacie - she's the best!
I moved to chicago 4 years ago and would go home to my stylists every time I needed my hair done because I am so picky...One of my friends had her hair done by Stacie and it was so amazing and perfect I decided to let her do mine...I WILL NEVER GO TO ANYONE ELSE AGAIN! She is so good and sweet and my hair looks fantastic everytime. Even months after I get my hair done I'm still getting compliment...
Stacie is the only person that can read my mind when it comes to what I want to do with my hair. She used to do my hair in pittsburgh and I was so spoiled by her. I wish she would come back!
I lived aboard for many years, and would wait for my visits home to get my haircuts from Amy. She is amazing as is her work!
Believe it or not, I live in Connecticut but fly into Chicago because I only trust my hair to Amy at Joseph Michael's! Wonderful location, great people, and I'm always smiling when I walk out.
I have been having my hair cut at Joseph Michael's Salon for years now and have always had good experiences there. The front desk is friendly and efficient. The atmosphere of the salon is sleek and attractive, and is very comfortable. Amy has always done a wonderful job cutting my hair, whether I want her to simply update my last cut, or give me a real change. I have never been faithful to a s...
I "discovered" Amy at Trio Salon about 15 years ago, and even though I've tried several other well-known hair stylists over the years, I always came back to Amy. I learned my lesson -- now I wouldn't think of letting anyone else cut my hair. Even after all these years I still have strangers stop me on the street and tell me what a fab haircut I have and ask who did it! I'm really happy Amy set...
Amy is wonderful! Her cuts are amazing, her color is terrific. and she's great fun to work with!
I have been a client of Aquiles Molina, who recently joined the Jospeh Michaels team, longer than I would like to admit. The relationship with a colorist/hair stylist is one of enormous trust and Aquiles is an expert colorist and hair stylist. He has never let me down.
I have been going to Patrick for almost 15 years and there are no words to describe the consistent, professional service I have received from him - he is the best! My appointments were always scheduled at the end of my stressful work day and Patrick was always waiting there for me with a smile...and a glass of wine! Patrick was always willing to work with my ever-changing ideas about new hairstyl...
I have had a wonderful experience for over 6 years with Maggie as my manicurist. She is very professional and at the same time a pleasure. My nails have never been in better shape. I appreciate the fact that Maggie is always on time, I never have to wait for my appointment. I am very much someone who appreciates professionalism , which Maggie displays at every appointment. I look forward to ...
Michelle has done my hair for about 4 years now. I will follow her to any salon she works at. Luckily, Ambra, her new salon is directly accross the street from Joseph Michaels. Its a beautiful space and they offer all of the same spa services!
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 have been a client of Patrick for over 19 years. In that time, I have NEVER had a bad haircut or color. He LISTENS!!! He will do what you want....IF you want his opinion, he will give it...telling you what he thinks would look best on you and what your hair can and can't do. He is a genuine good guy, consistently excellent, thoughtful and always on time. He is outstanding personally and pro...
If you have difficult hair, Patrick is the stylist for you! He's worked with me for over 21 years. I began losing my hair in my early 30's to my great distress. He always knew how to style and recommend the best products for my thinning hair. He made my difficult situation better and I truly appreciated him all these years. I was horrified to learn that he was relocating to Arizona but happy for ...
Why would I go anywhere else when this Spa just treats me right and leaves me gorgeous? Love coming here ever since I first got my highlights here.
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. He is a friendly, professional individual who listens to what you want rather than imposing on you what he wants. That is key for me.
My most recent experience has been the best. After years of watching my hair turn grey I started thinking about coloring it. I talked with...
Nicole Ciesla is the premiere esthetician in the city. Facing acne problems, I first sought the advice of "expert" dermatologists, but to no avail. The doctors I saw put me on every medication offered, but the acne just got worse. Next, I searched high and low for knowledgeable estheticians that were at the forefront of the industry's latest techniques and products in my hometown of Milwaukee...
During a recent and brief trip to Chicago a few weeks ago, a friend and myself had selected this salon to have our hair cut as it had been long overdue for both of us.
I had thick long dark hair which I had my reservations and fear about cutting but after having the accidental fortune of having Vesna cut my hair, I was so happy with the results!
After describing to her about what I was goi...
I loved my color and cut experiences with Charles. Highlights and the most easy-to-care for style. BUT Charles no longer works there, and I can't find him. Anyone know anything? Thanks!
I have bounced around several salons in the Chicago area, and have never become attached to any particular stylist. I just couldn't find someone who could translate my ideas into a reality. Enter Ashley. She took the time to listen to what I really wanted. After a thorough consultation, she crafted the perfect color for my skin tone and gave me the cutest bangs! I have since returned to Ashl...
I moved here 2 years ago from Miami and have been struggling to find a good Brazilian wax ever since. Renata at Joseph Michael's is simply amazing. I have been to several places in the city (and the nation) and she is by far the best wax-er I have ever experienced. My wax was literally 50% less painful than any other wax I have ever received. She was professional and friendly and did a very g...
I got my hair cut by Jason and he did a great job! I have a lot of cowlicks but he managed to get it to lay right, even after I left and was left to my own devices. I'll definitely be going back!
My mom had done a color treatment and haircut with Spyros. Oh My God, when I saw it, I was shocked! The reason my mom did a color treatment was because she wanted to cover her gray hair but after it's done, it's as if it has never been done! All her gray hair was still showing especially after the haircut. The haircut was HORRIBLE, I don't even know how to describe it. NEVER EVER have SPYRO...
I came in for a wash, dry, and style. Edwin was completely professional, knew exactly how to style my hair, and was very thorough. I've never had someone take so much care and time with my hair, sometimes it can be a wash, quick dry, and you're out. I never felt rushed or hurried with Edwin (I have very thick hair, and it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to dry it).
It's sometimes hard to know what you're...
I highly recommend Nicole C. at Joseph Michaels in Chicago. She analyzed my skin type, gave me some tips and performed one of the best facials I've ever had. It all started on a warm massage table with chill music and a blanket. The products felt really good on my skin and she told me why she was using each one. The eyebrow wax was a nice touch and Nicole made the normally painful process as pai...
i just came back from getting a pedicure with neung and a facial with nicole. this was a really awesome experience and i would defiantly recommend both to friends, or strangers!!! :)
I recently had extensions done for the first time with Spyros. What a great experience! I will definitely be back. Spyros is the best.
I'm the type of person that never goes twice to the same hair stylists because I'm always disappointed. This all changed when I sat in Megumi's chair. I brought a picture in of what I wanted and she did not disappoint. Soooo many people complimented my hair on streets. I recently went back with another hair style and this time she really out did herself!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! and so did all ...
I started going to Michelle at Joseph Michael's a little over a year ago and I have loved every haircut, style, and color that she has done. Up until about a week ago, I had been getting blonde highlights and occasionally lowlights but recently I decided to color my hair a warm brown...I had been wanting to change my hair color for awhile now and finally we decided to just do it; Michelle did a ...
Hello all you who want great lenghts extentions.
DO NOT go to Josehp Michaels with Spyro. He just wants you in his chair, then he iconveniently leaves out the extra charge for the $80 hair cut and the $200 fee to take them out. The day I decided to get my hair done, I asked how much it would cost. He said $1700. Well, Spyro, next time be honest and tell your clients how much it will really cost...
If you are looking for hair extensions,(That don't damage your hair and don't look like extensions) Spyros at Joseph Michael's is the person that you want to go to. His work is outstanding and he is a pleasure to spend a couple of hours worth. I have very short and very fine hair and people have no idea that I have extensions!! His work is the absolute best!! I just had my second set put i...
The salon and stylist were great. I stopped in 3 days before my wedding (our hotel was nearby) and was able to schedule an updo with Gordon for that Saturday morning. The price ($70) includes a preliminary consultation. My hair looked so elegant, and more importantly, felt natural. If you want something that is classy and doesn't look like prom hair, this is the man. He was gentle, didn't fo...
I hadn't been to Joseph Michael's in a while, but now that my job has changed and I am nearby, I could not wait to go back! Plus I had a horrible haircut from another salon and needed a complete overhaul. Amy took the time to talk to me, ask questions, and find out what I was looking for. And boy did she ever deliver.
Amy is the salon's director of education so she really knows her stuff. She's...
I visited Joseph Michael's for the first time and was very impressed! Jason did my highlights...they were great and he was really fun to talk to. I had my waxing done by Nicole, who was awsome! She made me feel really comfortable and did a great job! I have already recommended Joseph Michael's to all my friends and recommend it to anyone reading this!
One day on my lunch hour I decided to go into Joseph Michael's Salon and get my hair trimmed. Layne was available and am I ever glad! First, her shampoo was vigorating. Then her cut was percise. But the best part about it was her vibrant personality! I am a going to be a regular lunch-time customer. :)
I have always wanted a cute short haircut. I made an appointment with Layne, hoping she would be the one who could give me a short cut that matched my hair type and face shape. AND SHE DID!! I love my hair! Layne took the time to listen to what I wanted and she then gave me her opinion. It is easy to style and always looks neat and fashionable. I also loved her vibrant personality. I woul...
Absolutely amazing service from the moment I walked in the door. After reading reviews about the different massage therapists, I chose to have my swedish massage performed by Charamine. When I walked in, the sweet receptionist walked me back to the spa and offered me a glass of cucumber water. I sat down on an ultra soft sofa while I filled out my questionnaire form. A few minutes later I was gre...
I highly recommend Vesna for the latest in color and style. I went to see her a year ago and walked in with damaged hair from overprocessing and a perm. Vesna took the time to talk to me about what I wanted, she made suggestions, and honestly, I wish I would have done a before and after picture. I went from a very bad poneytail to a cut and color that framed my face. I received so many commen...
Based on all the reviews I took a chance and made an appointment for a cut and highlights. My stylist was Vesna who was definitely well experienced and technically competent. I brought a couple photos of the short, layered look I had in mind for my dry, over-processed medium length bob. For the color, I just wanted to brighten up my too dark, home-done dye job with some natural-looking highlights...
If you're looking for perfection -- ASK FOR RENATA. I have been seeing Renata for years since I moved to the River North/Gold Coast area. From bikini waxing to the perfect flirty eyebrows-- she is the GURU of all waxers. Fantastic, professional, and makes you feel very comfortable. The icing on the cake, the entire staff at Joseph Michaels is extremely warm & welcoming-- the feeling is conta...
This is the best massage in Chicago. In an ideal world I would see Danny every week. Never feel stress again! He provides the perfect atmosphere, relaxing, comfortable, a million miles from State Street just outside the door. Danny knows exactly how much pressure to use, where to use it, remembers "where it hurts" and cares how you are feeling. He is low key and professional and knows his bu...
One of the best massage therapists I've come across in years is Danny at Joseph Michael's. Whether it's a hot stone massage, deep tissue or simply a traditional Swedish, Danny has the right touch. He asks you the right questions at the beginning of your session and checks in with you periodically to ensure that the pressure is correct or the stones aren't too hot... but he is not a Chatty Cath...
I recently visited the salon for the first time. The women at the front desk were very friendly and efficient. I came for a massage with Bobbie. It was terrific- I left incredibly relaxed.
I have be going to Joseph Michael's for 6 years for exceptional massages with Danny O,the best manicures and pedicures with Maggie,while indulging in a facial with Renata that will leave you feeling 10 years younger.Lastly.Daniel P. that gives me the hair cut that leaves me speechless all the time.
I visited this spa/salon because it is across the street from where I recently moved to. I have had the best experiences there that I am definitely making this "my place!" I saw Layne for a simple trim (she was great, super friendly, and did exactly what I wanted her to); Bobbie for a massage (she was even better than my masseuse at EBC! She knew exactly how to give equal parts of relaxation, ...
I visited James for the first time this weekend for cut and color, and love what he did! I have been approached by several complete strangers asking about who does my hair, and I am more than happy to let them know. He took into account my eyecolor, my preferences, and drew inspiration from a photo I brought in. I liked my hair before, but felt there was room for improvement, and he took it to ...
I went to see Charles for the hair cut and color and it was by far the best service I have ever had.
The problem is that Charles doesn't work there anymore, if anyone knows where he works now please let me know.

I went to this salon to fix a bad haircut and get a consult on color. I was referred to Patrick for both a corrective cut and color. Patrick was very personable, friendly, and knowledgable. He suggested a great color for my hair. I have received a lot of complements on the color and it makes my dry somewhat frizzy hair look smoother and shinier. We agreed I needed to let the cut grow out a bit be...
I have lived in the City for 15 years and have tried many different salons in my search for the perfect manicure. I'm picky when it comes to my mannies and peddies and Maggie never fails to deliver - French, too!!
Maggie is an exceptional nail tech--she really studies your nails and finds the best way to treat them. She is pleasant to talk with, efficient, and above all, very, very good at what she does!
Renata gives marvellous facials. She gives your skin her full attention and recommends treatments that would benefit your skin. Her facials are both stimulating and restful, and you will feel the res...
I've only had a facial once before in my life. It was just an ok experience, so when I was searching for a facial to rejuvenate my dry winter face for my sister's upcoming wedding, I was hesitant. Nicole at Joseph Michael's was recommended by a stylist friend so I gave it a whirl.
The facility was extremely relaxed and calm. Chocolates at the front desk, hot tea or coffee while you wait a...
I just want to thank Joseph Michael's Salon Sypros and Managers for declining my business. Thank you for being dishonest with me from the start and over charging me, then calling and telling me that you don't want business. I think the salon is unprofessional in many ways. They know they mistreated my visits and instead of owning up to their mistakes they declined the services. I will make sure ...
After years of having long hair,I went and had it cut shorter with layers and..........I HATED IT.Finding Spyros was the BEST thing that happened to me in years.He did my extensions,gave me back my length and volume and I LOVE IT,I LOVE IT,I LOVE IT.He is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!
I went to Charles for a haircut a month ago and he was the best! I've had a string of bad haircuts and Charles fixed it! He was so friendly and spent a lot of time getting to know me and what I wanted. Needless to say, I walked out of there with the best haircut I've had in years! You have to experience it to believe it! I've already booked my next appointment and can't wait! Thanks Charles, you'...
I have been going to the salon for almost 4 years. I have my nails done with Maggie and my facials with Renata. Both girls are very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them.
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...
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...
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...
I recently had an appt. with Nicole at the salon. I was running very short on time and after my waxings were finished I had to run out before she could even really clean me up let alone moisturize. Sounds crazy to anyone who's been waxed before. To my suprise because Nicole is just that good at what she does, not a problem occoured. No dry skin...nothing. Now, while I certainly don't recommend pu...
I just had my color, high-lites and trim by Charles and I love it !!! The minute we started talking about my hair I felt that I can totally trust his recommendations and I was right, he is so talented and such a sweetheart that I am definitely coming back. He had chosen the color that makes my eyes pop and the high-lites are perfect, subtle but noticeable, my hair looked so good I wish I had a ...
I have been going to Anna for almost a year and I love her. She is a great stylist/colorist and very accommodating. She knows what looks best for you and is not afraid to tell you when she thinks a style is going to be wrong for you. She always has a sunny disposition and she makes you feel like a million dollars.
This is the only place in Chicago where I've actually gone BACK to get my hair cut. That's a real feat for me. I've been in Chicago for 3 years, and whenever I've gone to get a haircut at other salons, I've always been not quite happy about it. I thought it was just me and the whole "give it two weeks to grow in" thing, but after getting my cut from VESNA, I've realized that it wasn't me. Vesna l...
I only visit this spa for facials, brow and lip waxes. Ask for Charmaine. She does a great job. After a facial, I usually come out very relaxed, as if I just had a massage. She never leaves the room. At the time when most technicians would leave the room and just leave you there "relaxing" (so they say), Charmaine gives you the best scalp and neck massage. You can have a great conversation with h...
For the last four years, Sonya has been my hair color guru. Each time I walk out of Joseph Michael's I am re-energized and feel amazing! You wouldn't believe the looks I get walking back home from the salon. When I sit down in Sonya's chair, I never really have a plan for my hair because I know that she will. I trust Sonya to do what is in my best interest and I'm always thrilled with the end...
I have been going to Michelle forever and I just have to say she is the best stylist ever! Since I have been going to her I have gotten the best advice about my hair and new ideas about what I should do! I would refer anybody to her! Make an appointment with her asap!!!!
Nicole did my brazilian wax this evening ,and it was over before I even new she started. Wonderful job!
I just wanted to write a few words about my Hair Stylist Stevie. I followed her to Joseph Michael's Salon from Salon 1800. She is the Best ! Not only does she know about color and style for my type of hair, she is an interesting, intellegent person. I look forward to my appt.s with her. She is always smiling....that is why I left my neighborhood salon. Stevie..... she is a professional with...
Harmonia, sold exclusively at Joseph Michael?s, is an all-natural, hand and body scrub that replaced my dry skin, with a moist and supple touch!
I have been using Harmonia, once a week for the past couple months. I use the scrub to exfoliate my entire body, with the exception of my face. Since using the product, I have less rough spots and more smoothness!
This place is great. Anna is the best and sweetest stylest ever! all of my friends love my hair and ask where i get it done.
I have had my hair done with Charles for few times already. And he is wonderful stylist!..He is full of suggestions and ideas,very attentive and professional. If you go to have a haircut with him,you will never want to change a stylist!
Layne cut my long hair into a shoulder length bob and I just love it! It is so easy for me to syle and keep up! She is awesome! Molly
Went to Joseph Michael's based on citysearch reviews. Could not find street parking after circling for 15 mins. Decided to self-park in the lot across the street; I believe it was $7? Decent price. Very happy with haircut from Charles. I felt bad for being extremely particular about cuts since I've been victim to bad haircuts and too conservative stylists before. But he listened to me and even in...
My curly hair has been an ongoing struggle my whole life. Cutting curly hair is tricky--not all stylists are good at creating a style that looks good both straight and curly. After reading a review on city search, I decided to give Charles a try. I was not disappointed! Charles consulted me on what I wanted, helped me see my hair in a whole new way, and delivered fantastic color and cut! I w...
Daniel is an amazing stylist as well as a good friend. He is patient and listens to all my frustrations with my curly hair and then he proceeds to fix them. Currently, he is giving me an awesome new "Samantha Who" look!! I guarantee you will love Daniel and look forward to your visits together!!!
This is a great salon because it offers top notch service (timely, very personal) and doesn't have the pretentiousness that exists in most Gold Coast area salons. If you get a hot stone massage, be sure to ask for Nicole - she makes sure to ask a lot of detailed questions about her client so that the massage is best suited to your needs. I'll definitely return.
When I first moved to Chicago I spent several months looking for salon and have several horor stories to show for it. Not knowing what to expect, I forged on in my quest and entered Joseph Michaels only to be greeted by some friendly, smiling faces and some great chocolate! I thought hmm, could this get better and then I was given some delicous coffee and met by stylist Dan Paterno. Well, it's...
If you are looking for fabulous hair, go to Joseph Michael's and make an appointment with Daniel Paterno. He is a GREAT stylist!!!! I have course, curly hair that is difficult to work with and I spent years "fighting" with my hair. Once I met Daniel, my hair struggles ceased to exist. I now have a fun style (yes, the ponytail is gone!) that looks great anywhere from the golf course to work to...
I love to tell my story about Daniel Paterno, back when I was working in a fast food veggie restaurant w/long straight hair, Daniel would come in for lunch, and he asked me if he could cut my hair for his exam. What a great opportunity for me! That was over fifteen years ago and I am still going to Daniel. He is great, I get compliments on my hair often. He is great with color, and he is a gr...
I'm an African American female who is very particular about WHO does my hair. Well, I was referred to Dan Paterno of Joseph Michael's Salon by a friend (I liked her hair) so, I thought I'd give him a try. Let me just say, MY HAIR IS FABULOUS. I went from having shoulder length hair to a stylish bob, every time I turn my head (with little effort of course) my hair moves, it's shiny without lots ...
The best! I don't know how else to describe it. My hairdresser Amy Everett makes it so much fun. She cares about my likes, listens to what i want, knows enough about my lifestyle and ability (I am blowdryer challenged) to suggest some great ideas. I never feel rushed. I never feel like I'm just another head of hair or that she's going through the motions (remember that dunkin donuts commercial - ...
There is no attitude at this salon. Everyone is nice,very knowledgeable, it's very clean, and the staff is on time. They always have great drinks too, like the hot apple cider with a touch of grand marnier. I would highly recommend this salon. I have been going there for 10 years!
I've been having my hair cut, styled and colored by Vesna for several years. I love my hair and receive many compliments. Vesna listens to you and makes suggestions as to what would look best with the shape of your face and lifestyle. I followed Vesna from a small salon in my neighborhood to Joseph Michael's. She definitely made a good decision to move and the salon is very fortunate to have ...
Moving from the burbs left me with having to find a new hair stylist. After reading others were pleased with Charles' haircuts, I decided to give him a try. I was more than pleased. He spent lots of time discussing what style would look best and even gave me a large sample of a shampoo he used that helped my hair look less brassy. The salon is very relaxed, the staff is quite friendly, and th...
I have never written a review on anything, but I had such an amazing cut/style from Charles that I felt it was only fair to let others know (and to give Charles the praise he justly deserved). I recently moved to Chicago and had always loved my stylist at home, but Charles really did the best cut I've had in ages. He listen to what I wanted and spent time making it perfect. He also gave me hin...
This was my first time at Joseph Michaels because I just moved to the neighborhood. I saw all the great reveiws and decided to give it a try. Everyone was so nice there and it was just warm and personalized. Mmmm Hot apple cider while your waiting! Layne was my stylist and was great. She gave me just what I was looking for. Also she was so much fun to talk to, great personality. I will for...
Nueng! Nueng! Nueng! I had my Mani and Pedi at JM for my wedding day. I got a french on both, and not only did it looks very nautral and perfect...My Pedi stayed on FOR 7 WEEKS! Thank you! The salon atmosphere is zen and the staff is to die for. Always a smile from everyone when I walk in. This is FOR SURE the best salon in Chicago and I would recomend this salon to ANYONE that I know, and I woul...
During a recent business trip to Chicago, it was apparent that I could no longer stretch my beauty sabbatical. Months of neglect had left me with bleached out, with split ends hanging at the bottom of strawlike tresses - my penance paid for decadent days of summer indulgence. While a hair bun worked as an effective guise for a short term, the truth was becoming increasing transparent as the nes...
After living in Los Angeles for years, it was so difficult finding a new stylist in a new city. I've had lots of referrals but ended up with mullets and frankly just not great hair cuts until I was referred to Charles! Charles gave me an incredible cut - I have never had more compliments in my life on a hair style and the color is so rich and also complimented constantly. It has taken me 3 yea...
i have been to michelle a few times now and i think she is the best stylist i have ever been to! she listens to what i want and tells me when it wont work! we work together to find a cut that is stylish,easy and will also look good on me! she's great w/ color too! go see her!
I found the best hair colorist in Chicago! He really cares about his work and wants you to look your best. He took into account my skin coloring and what I wanted and came up with the perfect look. My hair was also dead from frying it with a straightener so he blow-dryed and trimmed my hair and put in this color conditioning/shine enhancer stuff that stays in your hair for a month all for free! H...
Almost my entire family does hair. I have been spoiled my whole life with people to take care of my hair and keep it looking great. I love my hair. I recently moved away from all of my family and decided it was time to move on and find a new stranger to style my hair.
Just before Thanksgiving I thought I had found a good place to go...BUT...my hair was butchered! As soon as I got home my...
What a great experience I had. Charles gave me the best hair color that I have ever received. All of my friends tell me it looks natural and not treated. He had some great suggestions for me. I live in Colorado. I will definitely make an effort to get back to Chicago several times a year to have Charles do his magic. I would recommend him to anyone.
I never do this report thing on my experiences. But this is one experience that holds exception. I got great length extensions done by Spyro Petros and I really want to recommend him because my experience was that superb!
I've had extensions before and they completely damaged my hair. The previous hair stylist put me in a position where I actually needed extensions, rather than doing it for ...
If you want to look more than good, than Joseph Michaels Beauty Salon is the place to go. They really know their stuff. They really have a great staff.
I am a new customer to Joseph Michael's as of 3 weeks ago and as everyone knows going to a new salon and hairdresser can be a stressful experience. I was quickly put at ease with the service from the initial phone call and then my experience. Charles was the hairdresser I chose and he was everything and more than I expected. Most importantly he is an experienced and seasoned hairdresser but c...
I moved to the city three years ago and have struggled to find a stylist that I love. I had my first experience at Joseph Michael's this weekend. Charles is fantastic! Not only did he know exactly what to do with my hair, I felt welcomed as soon as we met. I will definately return to Charles!

Joseph Michaels is my favorite salon in Chicago. My mom and I have been coming there for years. Spyros Petros is the best hair stylist I have ever come across. His haircuts are top notch - always up to date - and no one can do extensions so beautifully. They are so natural and so amazing. I would not let another stylist touch my hair!
Spyros is also a most gracious, kind, and caring pers...
I have had almost every kind of hair extensions, but great lengths are the best!! I waited until I got my extensions removed before I could leave a comment because every other kind of hair extension has done extreme damage to my hair over time. I had my first set of great lengths May thru Nov, in fact until 4 days ago. SPYROS put them in and took them out with extreme care, he is a PERFECTIONI...
I have been Joseph Michael's client for 2 yrs. now......I love them, they have great people working front desk, assistants are amazing with scalp massages....Anna's color, hair cut and blowdry are amazing, every time I leave the salon I look and feel great....
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!! I went to Spyro Petros for extensions and he was nuts! Every time I asked him a question about the extensions price he got SUPER mad and crazy! I got them done twice and he raised the price the second time by $300 and when I asked why he got super crazy mad and acted all huffy like I had no right to ask. When I inquired about great lengths extensions and exactly how muc...
My stylist - Charles - was the most personable I've met in his field. He was professional, he had an opinion to share (very rare quality even at the expensive places), and he was very attentive to ensure my experience would be a good one. I had never been to Joseph Michael's before, but I have been to several of their competitors, both 'salon-pricey' and the more affordable "maintenance" hairc...
I went to Joseph Michaels for the first time last week and received the absolute BEST cut and color I have ever gotten. Michelle understood exactly what I wanted (even though I couldn't completely articulate my needs). She perfectly interpereted what I wanted and boy, did she deliver!! The entire staff was welcoming, professional and gracious. Great customer service and a great value! I co...
I have followed Charles through his journey to find the perfect fit at a Salon. He has arrived at Salon 161 downtown on Michigan and Erie. He said that Joseph Michael's and Natural Elements were wonderful learning experience's but he found his favoriote salon ever. I thought I would pass this on to all his guests who where wondering where he went. I really think that Salon 161 will be great f...
I started seeing Michelle after my stylist moved away. I was nervous to switch stylists because I really liked what my other stylist was doing with my hair. I had been going to him for a long time. Michelle understood how I felt and was very patient w/ me. She asked me a lot of questions and really took the time to find out what my needs were and took it all into consideration before we began the...
My husband and I spent the long weekend in Chicago, hailing from the east coast. After several relaxing massage treatments at the James Hotel I decided to get my hair styled. The receptionist here suggested JM ..
My overall impression is this salon is top-notch. The receptionists were warm and professional and the setting was soothing (considering the amount of business going on).. but CHARLE...
I've been seeing Maggie regularly for the past 5 years and could not be happier with the quality of her work - - my nails have never been healthier or looked better! Maggie is a skilled professional with considerable nail care expertise; the result is the BEST looking nails and longest lasting manicures and pedicures I"ve ever experienced! I frequently get compliments on my nails and have refe...
I have had two sets of extensions in the last year prior to Spyros. The first set was SoCap and they proceeded to start falling out the second day and continued to fall out rapidly. After a month, half of them were gone. Quite embarrassing to be talking to someone when an extension falls out!! The stylist felt bad so she said she would replace them with the metal extend tube extensions. Well...
I read the reviews in advance and went by to check out the salon and oh my God! What a bunch of snotty creepy people! I couldnt even get passed the receptionist's better than thou attitude and the Stylists and manicurists had this icy stare they all made me feel very uncomfortable. I never felt so judged in my life. Ok I am a heavy person, but oh wow the looks up and down and the attitude when th...
Spyros is amazing! I recently moved here from Texas. I have had my extensions done twice before in Texas and nothing compares to the work Spyros does. He is incredibly talented, making your hair look very natural. He is by far the best in the country! Once you have extensions you will never go back! Thank you Spyros for my amazing new hair! - Katherine
I am a fairly new customer to Joseph Michael and am extremely happy there. I actually followed Michele from her previous salon.This place is am improvement and Michelle is the same as before, fantastic.
I really love the changes she has made to my hair, she has given me bangs when I wanted them and made them look great with lots of layers to go along with them. I usually wait too long in betwee...
I had been getting my haircut by the same woman for 8 years when I met Michelle. I was hesitant to leave my hairdresser, but Michelle had started cutting a couple of my friends' hair and they always looked great! My hairdresser started to cut back her hours and I needed to get my hair trimmed... So, I bit the bullet and went to Michelle. I was nervous and she put me at ease and my hair looke...
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!

i went to see renata for a brazillian bikini wax a couple of weeks ago. it was by far the least painful, least awkward, most thorough wax i have ever received. i will be back!
I have nothing but good things to say about Joseph Michael's and especially Michelle. I have been going JM's for a few months now after following Michelle there from her previous salon. I bounced around to different salons after my stylist of 5 years left Chicago and I luckily found Michelle a few blocks from my house and have been with her since. I have a short haircut that leaves little room fo...
I went to Michelle the other day for a trim, unlike my first visit to her where I got caught in a whirlwind of indecision, this time I was completely sure of what I wanted...a trim with a tiiiiny bit more of an angle (and I said tiny). I received a haircut that reminded of Posh Spice's current 'do. When I told her I wanted to flat iron it so I could see the angle she took the flat iron, plugged...
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.
I have been going to this salon for over two years. Each week, my special treat is a my manicure with Maggie. I have never been unhappy with the manicure - her pedicures are also great. She is fun to talk to and the atmosphere is relaxing. I have tried many other salons but Joseph Michael's has been my mainstay.
I was a salon goer at Joseph Michael for many years. I recently had a negative experience and I will never go back again. In the service industry people need to remember that the loyal customer is key and if there is a dispute or problem that perhaps they should do all they can to help the customer. The salon manager failed to do that and after ten years I will never walk through the doors aga...
Do not listen to the positive reviews! They are written by people who are unfamiliar with what quality is supposed to be. They are merely trend followers who chirp along with the status quo as to what's the "in" place to be, and have no real opinions of their own. Joseph Michael has managed to collect a whole cadre of incompetent workers who would manage to mess up a simple pedicure. I made t...
Maggie gives the best pedicure in the world -- I won't go anywhere else! I get so many compliments and my feet feel fantastic. I can't wait to see her every month, she's such a good friend. See her for a manicure or pedicure and you'll be a Maggie fan forever!
I followed Nicole, the skin care specialist to Joseph Michael's from another salon because she is so good at what she does. Waxing isn't always a pleasant experience but Nicole is amazing. She is so friendly and always makes me feel so comfortable. I love the spa atmosphere and feeling like getting waxed is as much a beauty treatment as anything else. The water sculpture in the waiting area was b...
Ever though I've gotten manicures all over the U.S. and Europe I've never found anyone who ALWAYS does a job as well as Maggie. Plus, she's fun to talk to!!
I have been going to Maggie for manicures and pedicures for about 5 years, and my nails look great. My friends are always amazed at how long the manicures last! Maggie is the best! The salon is easy to get to and everyone is very friendly (unlike many other high-end salons in the neighborhood).
I had ANOTHER great visit with Anna today! One of her assistant's, I think her name was Mada, washed my hair. It was the BEST scalp/head massage that I have ever had and I was so relaxed when I left there! Joseph Michaels is a great place for hair and I have never left unhappy!!
I've been to many salons, but am convinced that Maggie gives the best manicures and pedicures in town! She is a true professional and a perfectionist in all she does. My pedicures last for weeks. She's also very knowledgeable about nail health and has made several suggestions that are helping my nails. And, to top it off, she's fun to talk to--and has a great laugh--so the time passes quickl...
James knows what he's doing: color, cut and style. He can work miracles with challenging hair. I drive 3 hours for my appointments with him and am greeted like an old friend. I always leave feeling much better about myself (and at least 10 years younger!). Read the JM website description of James. It's true! This salon is casual, friendly and current with a very talented staff.
I've been going to Joseph Michael Salon for over 12 years: I have not once gone anywhere else. Patrick Russo is why. He is the best stylist in the city. Every single haircut solicits complements from strangers -- asking who cuts your hair? It's perfect. Try Joseph-Michael and ask for Patrick. You cannot go wrong!
to be fair I wont mention any names here, I love to get pampered when I go to a salon and trust me this is not the place to get that relaxed feeling. The music during my facial was just ok and the person was just horrible very rough on all parts of the treatment, not recommended I feel sorry for my self that I even went there to make it worse my face was red 8 for hours not sure what use but they...
Patrick is amazing he is very talented and makes me look great everytime. Highly recomended classy atmosphere, I won't go anywhere else!!! Highly recomended also great place for a pedicure!!!
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...
Best facial in the city!!! I'm truly amazed after going to Joseph Michaels's for 3 years now that Renata's facials are still the best thing in the city. My girlfriends and I tried 10 different salons until we met her. If you have problematic, acne skin or tired, dull looking skin and need to refresh, go see Renata. After first treatment you will see the difference. Since day one I have listened ...
I know it has been said so many times on here but Spyros is really fantastic. I had just moved to Chicago and had gotten extensions before moving here. I was so nervous about who would take care of them for me...or who would be able to dry them! Surprisingly I went to several high end salons in the city and people were either annoyed I had them or just had no clue what they were doing. When I ...
I went to Joseph Michael's and got the best haircut ever from Laura. She really listened to what I wanted and did an awesome job!!! If you really want somebody who knows what he does: go to Laura!!!
I've heard so much buzz about how a great cut can make styling it painless. I never understood this saying until I met Spyros Petros. After having my hair cut by numerous different stylists my entire life no one ever found the curl in my hair except spyros. Spyros was the first stylist to tell me that I had a natural wave in my hair that could be turned into a curl with proper styling. Spyros...
I celebrated my 22nd birthday at Joseph Michael's with eight of my friends. We booked a month in advance and we all booked awareness packages. From the moment we stepped in, we were treated like queens. The services were wonderful (Danny, Irina, and Renata are as good as they come). We ended up spending the entire day there and the entire staff was attentive to the very end. Please give the ...
I have been getting hair extensions from Spyros for over 2 years now. I got them for my wedding and now he helps me to keep the same length. I've never been able to have long hair until now. It's much easier to do my hair and it's not thin anymore. I can see having extensions forever. I would not let anyone but Spyros do my extensions. His website is SpyrosPetros
i received the worst highlights i've ever received from a salon. not only did the hair stylist not include a toner, i went back to have him fix it to no avail. i don't recommend this salon. my hair was fried by the time he was done, and i went to another salon to have the work fixed.
I visit the Chicago area 4-5 times a year. I used to travel to Chicago for the shopping...now I visit so that I can be pampered by the EXPERTS at Joseph Michael's Salon and Spa! Daniel continously provides the best hair cuts. He LISTENS extremly well, knows how to give the best cut for your face shape/hair texture and is extremly skilled/talented. Try Daniel once and you will be hooked! Sony...
The swedish massage I had with Danny at Joseph Michael's was the most relaxing and tension relieving one I have ever had. I carry A LOT of tension in my neck and upper back. I go for a massage about three -four times a year, and the tension usually creeps back in on my walk home.
NOT THE CASE today! I am still so relaxed I need to go take a nap. I am trying to figure out if I can afford ...
I went here recently to get extensions with Laura and they look amazing. I have hair that never seems to get long, so one of my friends referred me to Laura. They take a long time to put in, but I have never had so many compliments on my hair. They look and feel so natural. Now my hair holds curl, it never would with my fine hair. I am sooo happy with them. Go see Laura if you want someone ...
I had always been envious of the long gorgeous hair I would see in magazines, but my own fine hair just wouldn't cooperate. The thought of extensions seemed ridiculous -- too much work, too expensive, etc., but I was always curious. I asked my (also fabulous) colorist at Joseph Michael's, JAMES, about them and he introduced me Spyros to learn more.
2 weeks later I was in Spyros' chair for ...
I've been coming for a year now to see Renata at Joseph Michael for a facial. After years of searching for a great esthetician (Gold coast and downtown area) I almost lost my hope, until a friend reccomended Renata. My skin cleared up after 3 visits and I don't get breakouts anymore (I still cannot believe it). I guess she just has that gift, not only skill but she knows exactly what creams are r...
I saw Charmaine for a facial. She has a very friendly personality. I thoroughly relaxed during the facial. She was thorough in discussing my skin. Her massage techniques are heavenly. The facials at this salon are reasonably priced for the area.
I went to Joseph Michael's for a massage and a facial... both were fantastic. Danny O did the massage & I walked out feeling like jelly! The facial by Stacey was relaxing and my face looked and felt 1000 better when I walked out of there. I definitely recommend trying this place out... I know I will be scheduling another appointment soon!
Stacey is the best Esthetician EVER!!!! I have been seeing Stacey for my facials and waxing for quite some time now. She is very personable, outgoing, and boy does she know skin!!!! Her facial massage is amazing!!! I get complements on my skin and eyebrows all the time. She is also one of the few Estheticians that are trained with the latest hard wax for Brazilian waxing, it is so much less pain...
I've been coming to J-D for my hair color and cuts for over a year. He is the best colorist in Chicago, hands down. He's never running late and I so appreciate that. My daughter and I have also gone to Renata for facials and Danny for body work. I love this salon and I love that it's so close to my work. Thanks Joseph Michaels!
i have been coming to joseph michaels for just under a year now and have never had a bad exerience. the staff are professional and give expert services. Maggie is wonderful for manicures and pedicures. Renata gives wonderful facials and is very skilled with skin care. i have had peels, dermabrasion, waxing, lash and brow tinting with Renata and have been more than satisified. she does an impecibl...
always have a great experience. maggie is the best manicurist. danny gives great massages. renata really knows about skin.
i went to jd for highlights and a cut. he does a very good job at initially listening to what you want. but... my highlights came out yellow and my cut was okay, nothing special. i think that the color would have turned out much better had he actually paid attention and not kept answering his cell phone (5-6 times). the staff is very nice and the atmoshpere is very relaxed. i would recommend him,...
First of all, the service was excellent. From the time we arrived till our departure, we were treated with hospitality and an excess of pampering. Joseph Michael's truly knows what individuals want and expect when they visit a spa. From the plush furniture to the fridge of beverages at your disposal-I felt right at home. I received the Hot Stone Massage and Danny was my therapist. All I can ...
I haven't been to this salon in a very long time. But, I found it to be truly professional and friendly. And, my stylist there was Amy. She was awesome! Sweet, kind and talented. What more do you want?
After months of searching, I finally found Gordon at Joseph Michael's do do my hair for my August wedding. I wanted a 1930's esque 'do and NO ONE in Chicago knows how to do finger waves! Except for Gordon, who did a beautiful job! He was very pleasant and understood exactly what I wanted. I got so many compliments on my hair that I will have to find a reason to go back to have him do it again...
I have had hair extensions done by several different stylists in the Chicagoland area. Spyros Petros at Joseph Michaels is by far the best! His skill, precision, and artistry are unsurpassed. I highly one consult w/ Spyros if considering extensions...you will be delighted and dazzled w/ the results.
I have been going to Joseph Michaels Salon for 8 1/2 years and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else! The staff and atmosphere is absolutely the best!
I went to Joseph Michael's in June. I was greeted by a handshake from my stylist. I had Brian cut my hair, he is a Bumble and Bumble educator and worked in NY.He was wonderful! I had my hair washed first and wow! My shampoo was more like massage. He asked me what I like and dislike, what I had in mind, and then gave me his opinions of what he would like to do. I have long hair and made it a poin...
I waited for over 6 months to re-highlight my hair after my last salon over processed it. I was VERY nervous. The roots had grown out 3 inches and the ends were extremely brittle. I thought to myself, "If I get my hair highlighted without cutting half of my hair off, will I burn it off???". I look awful with short hair!!!
I arrived at Joseph Michaels expecting the worst. When JD greeted m...
I came across Joseph Michael's website by accident, and I am so glad! Not that there aren't plenty of salons in the city that are good, but to find one where you don't feel intimidated is rare. The girls at the front desk are really nice and fun. Then I realized during my consultation that I was with the actual educator for their color line-Lauren(who is do freakin cute) that they convinced to ...
Renata is the absolute BEST skin care specialist I've ever been to. I recently had a facial with Renata - and unlike other facials - I did not break out at all or experience any skin irritation. Plus, I'm getting married in less than two months and I had some sun damage (brown spots, tan lines) to take care of. I went to three dermatologists, tried bleaching cream, etc. and NOTHING worked until ...
i walked into the joseph michael salon...with a BAD haircut and small...hope that it could be salvaged...wanting to find some ... remnant and regain a sense of me.....i needed help....
i sat in spyro's chair.for my consultation.....he did not look hopeful....but continued on....he brought brian..one of the stylists over .... they both touched and observed my hair..its shape..the movement...and ...
If you're even just thinking about trying hair extensions, I would recommend no one besides Spyros - he is wonderful. I have very fine hair, and the extensions he put in gave me the beautiful, voluminous hair I've always dreamed of. What really impressed me is the time he took to ensure that the hair colors were properly matched (I have highlights). Spyros is not only talented and meticulous a...
I have been going to Joseph Michael's Hair Salon for the past 15 years predominantly for Hair Cuts and Color. My stylist, Patrick Russo, is amoung the best. Every hair cut and hair color that Patrick has done for me has been excellent. Patrick knows what looks best with the shape of my face and what type of cut works best with my hair. I am always receiving compliments on my hair cuts and co...
This was my first time at Joseph Michaels and I will definitetly be coming back. Laura gave me an awesome cut, she made my frizzy damaged hair shiny and beautiful. It was nice beccause she really made me feel comfortable by asking me lots of questions about what I wanted exactly. She also knew what would look good on my face, therefore I left with some new swept bangs and I love them! Every...
I've been going to Joseph Michaels for years, staff has changed over but they are doing something right because it is consistently an overall wonderful experience. From the greeting at reception to departure, every moment is wonderful. It feels like home. I would not call this an upscale salon. If you're looking for five star spa-like environment, this isn't it. But the prices aren't either. The ...
Considering extensions? I highly recommend Spyros Petros, he's simply the best in the biz. From the first minute of the consultation to his application of the last extension, Spyros gives you his total professionalism and undivided attention. I have very fine, short hair and when Spryos was finished...voila! I had a full head of gorgeous, wavy blonde hair I thought impossible (he uses Great L...
Ask for Renata!!! She is fantastic. She took my skin from drab to glowing in less than six weeks with a combination of microderm abrasions and facials and helped me secure a modeling contract . If she tells you to use a product, just do it because she is telling you because it works not to upsale. The rest of the staff is great as well because they don't act pretentious instead they smile and...
From long curls to short and sophisticated. Megumi skillfully crafted my dull curls and reshaped my hair. Her meticulous and undivided attention brought to my hair brought great confidence of her work. I fell back in love with my once boring curls.
A good friend of mine has been going to Patrick for years. After many disappointments with other stylists, I started to go to Patrick around two years ago. He gives an incredible cut--really listens to what you want and delivers. His color is amazing. I started with highlights, which didn't have the severe line of grow out that often can happen. Now I do all-over color (I'm starting to go gr...
I have searched all over this great city for the perfect haircut. Finally, I found it! From the moment I sat in her chair I was completely confident I was getting exactly what I wanted. She was very attentive and styled my hair to my personality. I talked and she listened, and I left the salon with a very stylish and savvy doo. Thank you Leland, and I will be recommending you to all the fash...
From classic beauty to the glamorous style of punk, whatever you want is what Megumi gives you! From amazing highlights to straightening the curliest of locks, she can do it all. The first challenged I presented her with, was to fix this botched up do created by a mad stylist with a razor!! Forty minutes later, I was smiling instead of crying! I have over come my fear of razor cuts thanks to her!...
I was in need of a big color change when a friend recommended Joesph Michael. I wanted to change my hair color from brown to blonde, and was a little hesistant, only because other salons had tried before and my hair always turned out orange. I went to Megumi at Joesph Michael, told her exactly what I wanted and 2 hours later, I was finally a natural looking blonde! I couldn't have been happier wi...
If you need hair removal such as waxing, Renata is who you need to see. She is quick, efficient, and as least painful as waxing can be. She really is GREAT
I've only gotten a few haircuts at the salon, but this is definitly the best hair I've had in years. JD is just wonderful. He's very in tune with the customer. I always feel as though he is giving me his undivided attention, something I have rarely gotten from other stylists in the past. I just love this place. I highly recommend it.
When I moved to this city I tried a lot of different salons until I found Joseph Michael's. And as long as I'm in Chicago, I'll never go anywhere else. Renata gives the best waxing a person could ever hope to get. She's meticulous, super nice, funny, and quick, too. Daniel is superb at cutting hair and is very skilled at color and highlights. When he did my hair on my wedding day, it lasted until...
For the last three and a half years I have had one after another fantastic experience at this salon. The staff is courteous and glad to be there for you. They are always on time, well organized and experts on their trade. The welcoming staff at the reception desk can not be any friendlier. They give you their undivided attention, immediately take care of you and ensure that you are quickly s...
I went to Renata for a facial after dealing with breakouts for about 6 months. I had tried dermatologists and prescription creams, all which seemed to make my skin worse. The facial was AMAZING. It was soothing and relaxing and also therapetuic--she removed many of the impurities and my skin was glowing when I left. I have been faithfully returning and have not had a single breakout for month...
For the very best in style delivered with fun, intelligence, and flair, you simply can't top Patrick Russo.
I travel a great distance to get my hair cut at Joseph Michael's. I highly recommend Sally and Amy. I have never had a bad hair cut by either of these wonderful stylist. Before finding Sally and Amy it was always a hit or miss, mostly a miss. You can not go wrong at Joseph Michaels. The front desk and everyone there is very professional and extremely friendly. I truly beleive no one will ev...
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...
I have lived in Chicago for amost 2 years now and I have never found a "cut" that I have loved. I found JM on citysearch. They have a great website were you can read all about there salon, and there are Bio's of all there employee's...I read Lelands and decied to go to her for my next cut. She trully has given me the best cut not only in Chicago, but the best cut I have EVER had. Her love and pas...
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...
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.
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...
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
Years of highlights, manicures, and cuts... the best I've had in ten years.
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...
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.
...
JD is absolutely the best of the best! I have seen all of the top colorists in Chicago, and no one can touch JD's work. I have referred in over a dozen friends and they all love JD as much as we do!
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.

I am a new customer at Joseph Michael and had a very pleasant experience! Jon David is my stylist and he is phenomenal...from "envisioning" the best cut/color for your hair to making it a reality! I highly recommend the salon and Jon David.
I have visited so many skilled esticians and never got the results I needed. I have done every treatment including the blue peel and never achieved results. I was so discouraged and I was actually considering Acutane. This was before I met Renata. After one visit my skin is amazing! She treated my skin exactly as it needed and put me on the best skin products I have ever tried. I can't beli...
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 here for over 3 years now. Leland is absolutely the most fabulous hair stylist I have ever used. The first time I had her cut my hair, she listened to my concerns and desires and made great recommendations. The end result was the best hair cut I had ever had. She is also GREAT to chat with during the session. I have been to many salons that give you the cut THEY think you s...
Maggie truly is a Chicago treasure! I now drive from Park Ridge just to get the best manicures and pedicures from Maggie at Joseph Michael's.
I have been going to Brian for about 2 years now and he is amazing!! Not only is he an extremely nice, friendly guy, but he gives *great* cuts. The first time I went he fixed a poor short haircut I had been given, and I absolutely loved the end product and I've been going to him ever since. I have complete confidence in his ability to cut my hair in a way that is right for me. I've got nothing bu...
I highly reccomend James to cut and color your hair. I have been going to him for quite some time now and I never walk out dissapointed. I can truly say, he is the best stylist and colorist I have been too. Thanks for another great haircut and color!
I got my hair color done by James and it was okay but I have had much better. The front desk staff was nice and they have a good selection of product for sale.
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.
My mother and I have been going to Jospeh Michaels for years now for our mani/pedis. Maggie is THE best! She is a perfectionist and does an amazing LONG lasting mani/pedi. Book now!
Megumi is a skilled hair stylist and did a great job on my hair. She fixed a botched-up cut with ease and confidence. She spent 20 minutes consulting with me on all of my concerns before she even picked up the scissors. She gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I'm hooked!
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!
I've been going to Renata for my waxing needs for years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. She's the best! She's personable, friendly and her expertise in the industry is outstanding. After my first facial with her, I immediately noticed a difference with my skin looking better. I highly recommend that your next facial, massage or waxing is with her.
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!
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...
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...
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!
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.
A couple weeks ago I visited Chicago and spent a heavenly 4 hours at Joseph Michaels.
My extreme compliments to Bobby for an outstanding massage and facial! She is GREAT!
Her hands and knowledge are inspiring!
I also had a shampoo and stle by the very profesional Gordon,this guy knows his stuff !! My spouse said my hair looked fabulous!
I will return for sure the next time I visit...
I went to the Joseph Michael salon today and it exceeded my expectations. I had two services done there and both were fantastic. Bobbie gave a tremendous massage - it was like she was psychic!!! Overall great place, I will be back soon.
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.
I have used the marvelous services offered by Joseph Michael's Salon, I highly recommend them. The moment you enter their establishment the ambiance says QUALITY. The personnel have caring attitudes that guarantee you will look and feel your best when you leave. Be sure to visit, oh my, you will be so glad you did!
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 ...
i've been going to joseph michael's salon for about 5 years and i have been very satisfied with every visit. my stylist, james adams, gives the best haircuts and he is always up on current trends and products. the salon is clean, friendly and never overbooked.
