Amore Francesca Salon & Spa

I have been in search of a new salon for the last few months. I recently found this place via a Groupon and wanted to check it out. I found Amore Francesca Salon to be a great place. Reasonable prices and great service. Hannah brought life back to my winter-​dulled hair with great highlights and a perfect trim (not too much or not too little cut). I will definitely return for future salon services!

I have been a client of Frances for years. She is very talented and I ALWAYS walk out feeling good about how I look. Her expertise with cut and color is great, and we change things up occasionally too. If I ask, she will offer her advice on how color and cut will look on someone my age, with my personality and will the shape of my face. The value for what she offers is truly amazing. I get a lot of compliments from people and refer them to Frances as often as possible. I’ve met other stylists in the salon. They are friendly, professional and creative. I do not think you can go wrong.

I was in search of a new salon in the western suburbs and stumbled upon the groupon. After reading other reviews I decided to try it out. I purchased the haircut and deep conditioning treatment. I called and was provided with an appointment the very same day which I was not at all expecting (most likely due to the disgusting weather we were having). Upon arrival I was greeted by the woman cutting another clients hair. She was very nice and told me where I could place my coat and get a drink. Right on time she concluded the previous appointment and formally introduced herself to me. Kelly was friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. After a quick conversation about my current styling process she discussed with me how I could (easily and quickly) style my hair without too much extra work and without causing additional damage to my hair. I was not looking for anything too drastic — just a good healthy cut and she provided just that. I left with a nice, new cut and exactly what I was looking for.

I had a facial there recently that was the best I’ve ever had. My skin was feeling dry in this winter cold. I chose the total package facial for 99 $, I couldn’t believe how much you get for the money. In one 90 minute treatment I got a medical grade microdermabrasion, masks, eyebrow and lip wax, neck massage. It was awesome! Violet is the girl that did mine she was really knowledgeable, sweet, and efficient. I will def be going back

Unpleasant experience. Rude stylist. Said one or 2 words to me the entire time. Borderline uncomfortable! Groupon or not. I will bot be returning.

I called the salon on Thursday morning, right when they opened, to see if they had a Saturday appointment available. I’m in town for a graduation and there’s a Groupon available for their salon so wanted to see if it made sense to buy the Groupon or not, based on their availability. The receptionist was courteous and explained to me that though the Groupon wasn’t clear about this, the girl who handles the Groupon cuts is their junior stylist (who has 7 years’ experience). She told me to give her my name and number and that she’d call me back within 10 minutes. She said that she’d see if there was any availability with the stylist for Saturday. I had already tentatively made an appointment with another great salon that I’ve tried and loved, but price is always a factor, and so I wanted to see if this place would work for a basic cut and style. But of course, I wanted to be fair by them and cancel my appointment ASAP if I wasn’t going to use them.
When I hadn’t heard back after 20 – 25 minutes, I called back and it was clear that the receptionist had not asked the stylist and was completely unprepared with the information. At least, in her defense, she didn’t pretend like she’d been about to call me! She apologized and asked me to hold on. She kept clearing her throat and fumbling with the phone. Then she suddenly said, «You know what… we are booked solid on Saturday. There’s nothing available.» She said they had Fri appointments available, but with a graduation on Sunday, this would have made no sense for me. Oh, also, though their site says «Sunday and Monday by appointment,» I was told they do not do Sunday appointments at this time. I understand completely, if they wouldn’t have given a Groupon holder a special appointment on Sunday and was totally ready to have just paid their regular price for this.
The website looks wonderful and I wish I’d had an opportunity to try them out, but their lack of care ruined any chance of that ever happening.

I have been to this salon for the 1^st time and I’m impressed! The salon is great, in a great location in downtown Wheaton, inside the décor is very modern and classy, not cheap like other places. I decided to get a last minute spray tan and they were able to take me in right away. (plus they had a special going on $ 15! cant beat that!!)
All the ladies that I dealt with in the salon were very nice and friendly. The regular prices in the salon for hair services are not bad at all. I will be coming back here again very soon, especially if they keep doing the $ 15 spray tans!

If you want to take a few years off you need to see Frances! Amore Francesca does the best color & style, and it’s just steps from spa to the Wheaton French Market.
