Salon Glow Chicago

I called this salon on a whim when I needed a last minute color touch-​up before traveling out of the country. I am SO glad I did!
I called on a Monday and got in that Wednesday. The receptionist was very helpful and asked the right questions regarding what I wanted out of the appointment. I told her I had time constraints and she even accommodated me by asking Michaila, the hair stylist, to come in a half hour before the salon actually opened– to my luck she was happy to do so!
Michaila was awesome– great to talk to and very talented! My goal for the appointment was to remove the brassy tones and redness that my previous semi-​permanent dye had left behind. I’m no hair expert so I was incredibly thankful that Michaila listened to what I wanted and made very educated recommendations on how color my hair appropriately. I trusted her and it paid off! It turned out great!
I’ll definitely be back! Prices are reasonable and staff is extremely friendly. Note– make sure to bring cash for tip, you can’t add it to your card!

So I’m writing this review after going back and forth because they have 5 stars, which is the reason I chose them, but my experience was not even close to that.
Salon Glow is not my go-​to salon but I wanted to give them a try because I live across the street and wanted my pre holiday hair cut and styled for a Saturday night dinner and did not feel like making the trek into The Loop in the cold.
They got me in fairly easily via phone a few days prior so that was great but my haircut was uneven! Like bad and I did not notice before I left the salon as my hair was curled. It wasn’t until I washed my hair 2 days later and was home for Christmas that I saw it. After my boyfriend’s sister asked why my hair was uneven at Christmas Eve dinner I wore it in a pony tail until I could get it fixed.
I went back to Salon Glow to get it fixed and put me with the same stylist. Talk about awkward. The owner was there and did not approach me (she checked me in) to apologize, offer free product for my inconvenience… nothing!
I appreciate the speed they got me an appointment and that they fixed it but that’s about it. I just thought everyone who is looking at their 5 star review like I did needs to know.

Angie Collazos is such an amazing makeup artist! I’ve had her do my makeup for several events and as well as my friends. She is very articulate and focused while working her magic. Angie also did my hair for homecoming and quince both came out fantastic! Her results make you completely satisfied. I recommend her to everyone for every event you need. She’ll take you under her wing and make you fabulous girl!!! Much love goes out to her and her amazing talent!

Just went to Bella to get my hair done and I love it! Salon Glow was so relaxing and fun. They even brought me wine ;) would come here everyday if I could!

I originally made an appointment for waxing services. Diana is the best esthetician I’ve come across and very accommodating to my needs. I’ve been getting my eyebrows threaded for about 10 years, finally made a switch to wax them. Never had any compliments on them until Diana touched them. Been at the salon twice and always leave feeling good and satisfied with the service given. Michalia also cut my hair once which was really needed since it was getting super heavy. I usually have a hard time expressing what I want so I’m always open to suggestions. The cut she gave me was perfect. Overall Salon Glow is awesome. Great experience all around. The staff are all very pleasant. Highly recommended!

Michalia is awesome. I changed hairdressers because I needed to find someone who really understood the styles and knew what was good with my hair type, and now I have a long angled bop and it’s perfect. Best haircut ever. Thanks Michalia!

Michalia does a great job. Love my platinum blonde. Staff there is so friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend!!!

Got a very nice haircut from Bella recently. It’s not exactly what I asked for, but hey it looks good, so I’m happy! Will definitely return

Decided to check out Salon Glow as I wanted to get a balayage done on my blonde hair. I wish I could remember who I saw (it’s been about a month) but she was great. Though a bit pricier than I wanted to spend– in line with a lot of salons in Chicago. Not the «fanciest» place but the people are great and their service is on point. Very happy with my cut & color and will definitely come back!

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. It was amazing from start to finish. Yes it took a little while before they could get to me because they were finishing up a bridal party but 1. I was early and 2. They made such a big deal about making me wait. It was only MAYBE 15 minutes past my scheduled time. Trust me. I was not bothered at all. Then I got wine. I don’t think that needs expanding. That’s awesome all on its own.
Color: I have been highlighting my hair blonde for 13 years. I thought I had had every known shade of blonde because every year I want something new. This time was no different. Bella gave me 2 dimension blonde highlights that look awesome and different than anything I’ve had before.
Cut: I cannot explain just how nervous and freaked out I was about coming to a new salon and a having a new person cut my hair. I am very picky about my hair and I did not want it to be cut too short. Bella was perfect. She asked over and over if I was sure about the length. She also went slow because as we both said «you can cut more off. You can’t add it back».
Overall: apparently it was a very hectic day because everyone wanted to get married. So I had a few people work on me like Jeanette and Nick and they all did fantastic. They were also super nice and seemed to really want to make people feel welcome from the receptionist Daisy to every one of the stylists. So stop by and judge for yourselves because they are all amazing. This is my official salon now.

I had a great experience here with both my cut and color. Although I’m always hesitant to try something new, I loved the way my hair turned out.
Every employee was extremely polite and helpful. It is a wonderful, neighborhood salon.
Only criticism I have is that they only accept cash tips (but they do have an ATM in the salon).

It was my first time in this saloon. Even was a confusion with my appointment they were so nice and take care of me. My stylist was Jeanette she cut my hair and honestly it is so beautiful. I love it!!! She was so nice. Marianna M

She repair the mess did an amazing amazing highlights. She is so talented and nice. Love the color the highlights love the service great price also
Definitely come back

After seeing so many great reviews on Unilocal,I decided to try out Salon Glow to get my hair into summer shape.
I went in with a few pictures of some gradual angled bobs and left completely satisfied!
Michalia was so sweet, fun to talk to, and really put lots of time and effort during the consultation, which I greatly appreciated to make sure we had the same understanding.
I will definitely be back!

Michalia is AMAZING! I’ve never gotten so many compliments on my hair than I have in the past month since I started going to her. She took me from brassy uneven highlights to beautiful, healthy cool blonde highlights. On my first visit she asked me tons of questions to make sure we were both on the same page which I really appreciated. Now she knows exactly the look I’m going for an I’m seriously amazed, my hair has never looked this good. She’s super accomadating and very personable which makes the experience that much better. I’ve also referred a friend already and she has never been happier with her hair as well which just goes to show Michalia’s true talent!
The salon in general is also just a great environmnet. it’s quiet and cozy and their products are great too!
I totally recommend giving this place a shot! you will not regret it :-)

I’ve been going to Michalia for two years and I’ve never been happier with my hair. I started with a pixie and she helped me maintain and grow it out into a bob. My hair has never been so healthy! Also the compliments are pretty great.
The salon itself is amazing as well. The ladies are wonderful and the décor really adds to the great experience. They use living proof products and teach you which ones are best for your hair to get that same salon look in your everyday life. Truly the best salon I’ve come across in Lakeview.

Our company swung by for a team-​building, business-​bonding experience with our preferred stylist, Michalia. She is a true artist and the complimentary drinks kept us having a blast even while waiting for her to finish cutting all of our hair. Look out for us in GQ. In the meantime, schedule an appointment with Michalia and let her make you look better.

It hasn’t even been two hours since I was here but I just want to freakin’ RAVE about Salon Glow!
Get this, I am Asian with platiinum blonde hair. It is super damaged. It is super bleached. I got my hair done as a hair model and I needed to find a hairstylist to maintain the color. I did a lot of research before going here. The staff is super responsive, especially when it comes to e-​mails. Other salons never got back to me.
I made an appointment with Michalia, a young, outgoing, and talented hairstylist. She has a fantastic personality. We talked about everything (particularly Tinder and woes of dating).
After a quick consultation, Michalia went ahead and touched up my roots. The heat lamp she placed me under is pretty awesome; three lights spin around your head for even color processing. After rinsing my hair, a violet toner was applied then a deep conditioner. (For the record, I had three services done — root touch-​up, toner, and deep conditioner treatment.)
I was floored by the results. My hair looked so gorgeous! The brassiness was gone. My hair was softer and had dimension. The styling was fabulous too. I mean, my hair never looked so good since going blonde a few months ago.
I had to give her a hug. HAD TO. I am so happy with the new color.
Please do yourself a favor and consider Salon Glow. I might’ve only worked with Michalia, but the other girls are sweet too. Plus, there offer complimentary drinks (including wine). It’s such a cute place.
I am definitely coming back!

I go to Michalia to get my hair cut and I love it! I found this place by accident one day when I was frantically searching for a place to get a haircut at the last minute. Salon Glow was welcoming and more than willing to let me walk in for a cut close to closing time on the weekend — I don’t know anywhere else that would’ve been that nice! To top it off, Michalia offered me wine when I got there. I was instantly sold.
Not only was the service great, but the wine was good, the salon was warm and welcoming with a nice variety of music in the background. I was originally nervous having Michalia cut my hair because I am incredibly picky when it comes to my hair. When Michalia was done I knew I’d be back for sure. I LOVED my cut — apparently everyone else did too because I got compliments on the fade job Michalia did for a good week after my haircut! Not only did my hair look great — but it was a quick cut, they shampoo’d me not once but twice, they trimmed my brows (included in the haircut), & did I mention I got free wine?! To top it all off, I go to check out and my whole haircut was only $ 25! (without tip, of course)
I’ve since gone back to Michalia for my second haircut and it was just as great as my first time there!

Finding a hair salon is hard when you move to a new city. Lucky for me, I found Salon Glow. The people that work there are amazing. Bella does my hair and I’ve never been happier with the results. I get blonde and have even done colors underneath like purple and magenta. The place is so cute. They welcome you right when you walk in, offer drinks (wine included), and then talk to you like you’re friends of 10+ years. 5 stars for this place and I’m a pretty tough critic.
