Elegante Salons & Day Spas

I made a last minute appointment for a style before a party. I just wanted a simple blow out. I arrived and showed the stylist, Stewart, a photo of what I would like. While he was nice and easy to talk to, the style ended up looking nothing like the photo I showed him. When I went to pay, the worker at the register said, «$ 27» and Stewart said, «Wait» and then proceeded to charge me $ 50. It was very awkward. I checked their website after and styles are typically $ 25 – 33. I am very disappointed in how the style turned out as well as the stylist completely taking advantage and overcharging me. I am new to the area and and will absolutely continue looking for a new salon in the area. I would not recommend Elegante.

I was referred to elegant salon by a friend who gets her nails done there and I made an appointment with Kim this afternoon for a full set and pedicure. I am very disappointed with the result of my nails the shape is terrible she rushed through the whole thing and the polish looks terrible I could’ve done a better job myself. She kept hurrying along throughout the appointment and complaining about how she wasn’t going to have time for my pedicure. I will never go back there and I left before getting my pedicure done because I could go someplace better that is less expensive. Not impressed at all.

I want to give a shout out to my stylist JoAnn. You rock!
This was my first time getting my hair cut here and i was so happy with the experience amd the result. JoAnn took the time to consult and offer suggestions before the actual haircut. Im very shy, but she made me feel comfortable right away and we chatted through the whole haircut. The space was very clean and it was a reasonable price for the service. Ill definitely be coming here from now on :)

Awesome service! always get my hair cut at this salon. Price is reasonable and I always love my haircut!

I haven’t had much luck with stylists recently. By recently I mean since I was 12 and had my butt-​length hair chopped to shoulder length. It was a pretty nice cut, if I do say so.
Here I was, 22 years later, still looking for someone who can cut my unpredictable hair, and cut it in a way that not only stays where it’s supposed to stay, but makes me feel good too!
I went into Elegante Salon based on Unilocal reviews. From the moment I set foot in the place I felt comfortable. So much so that when Cindy (You rock, Cindy!) sat me down to ask what I wanted, I actually told her instead of giving her my usual, «Just the same but shorter, please.» Cindy listened and gave me a wonderful haircut! She didn’t try to push anyone else’s style on me, she listened to me and worked with my hair to get it the way I wanted it.
I was so happy with this experience. Everyone in the salon was friendly, and I really enjoyed my time there! I’ll go back… in fact wild horses wouldn’t drag me anywhere else for a haircut now!

I started getting my waxes here because the salon is close to home and Justyna is great. She does a really good, hygienic job and is careful to get everything. It’s a little awkward having somebody stare closely at your crotch to look for strays but it’s better than walking out incompletely waxed, right? It IS extremely expensive however — almost twice the price of a Brazilian elsewhere.
I also recently went there for a massage which was very nice though I occasionally wished the masseuse would have just stfu. I’m there to relax, not chat.
Oh, one big annoyance, if you are a first-​time client, there is a $ 10 off any service coupon on the website. You HAVE to print out the coupon in order to use it – they’re super anal and won’t let you get the discount without a paper copy of the coupon. If you need to, there is an Office Max next door where you can print out the coupon for 10 cents. Whoohoo.

I’m not the biggest fan of Elegante. I found a great stylist there two years ago and was committed to her because she did great color, cuts, and was an all-​around fun and sweet girl. She left because she hated working there and I followed her to a different salon. I loved her services, but I didn’t like the salon– I think the interior is really dated, not relaxing, and I didn’t feel pampered when I went there. The salon furniture and lighting look like they are from the 1970’s. They make the employees wear uniforms and I don’t get a sense of style from them. I prefer my stylist to be a little more fashion-​forward and up to date with hair trends and I never got that impression from Elegante.

I just got back from getting my hair done by Cindy. I must say she is such a pleasant stylist. I first met with her two weeks ago for a consult on what I wanted to do, and went today for my appointment. She listened to me and learned the type of person I was with regards to styling and my lifestyle. She remembered everything and worked with me to make sure I left the salon happy ~ she was very successful!!! I highly recommend anyone that will go to the salon to get their hair done with Cindy. She was GREAT!!!
The salon also offers many other spa services. The aesthetician came by where I was sitting. I had some questions and she pleasantly answered everything, and provided excellent recommendations.
I live in Evanston and drove all the way to Naperville to get my hair done. I certainly would do it again.

So last week was my birthday. And my hubby says «keep the afternoon open» so I do. And he tells me «get in the car». so I do. the route that he is driving is the same as I take to my gynecologist, so I make him promise he’s not taking me there. he assures me he is not.
So I end up here! I had driven past it a bazillion times but never really noticed it. Seems he had made an appointment for me for a manicure and a massage! Wow! I would not say this is one of those salons where the décor is totally updated or anything but then sometimes the super-​fancy ones make me feel a bit out of place. This is more of an every-​day sort of place, where everyone is welcome and treated nicely.
My massage was with Allison. I found the massage room to be soothing and calm, dimly light with some candles and nice twinkley lights. Allison was very friendly and sweet, we talked about her kids & grandkids and my kids… I have actually never talked that much with a massage therapist before! I usually feel kind of nervous during masasges but I felt very comfortable with her. She told me I had a lot of knots in my shoulders and told me she could *REALLY* work them out (which would end up leaving me sore) or just go kind of medium on them. I opted to go with medium, but WHOA, even that left me sore. I think that she did a great job, its just that I am kind of a wuss with massages that’s all. Anyway I would say that even though I was sore afterwards, I would certainly recommend Allison to anyone who really wants someone to work those knots out with a vengeance!!!
My manicure was with (i think) Amy Ray (Rae?). She was very nice and my nails STILL look good; a little chipped here and there but that is due to me not being that careful. Thanks Amy Ray (e?). :)

I have a crush on this salon for getting me in at short notice. My usual hairdresser (Shannon, my true love) was sick and I couldn’t stand another day of gray roots and shagginess, especially with important meetings looming that week. I called the Elegante salon closer to my house and they were packed, but this location got me in the same night. Tara did a rocking job and held a normal conversation without that imfamous hairstylist strain — it must be hard to talk to new people all day long.
So there was I, sitting comfortably, getting pampered, then Josie the nail tech saunters over. «How about a complimentary nail color?» I think she said «nail color touch-​up» but I’m changing it because my nails have barely been touched. I always dreamed of having my hair and hands done at the same time. I walked out brunette, with purple-​back nails, and way happier than the real goth girls.
So, to my Shannon, know that my little affair was more of an emergency, and don’t be jealous of the three-​way. I’ll be back to you, my darling.

I love this place it’s clean the people are great and its fun to go to the people here make you feel special and they also talk to you like you’re a friend not just a customer. If you are looking for a highlight or a cut or anything to do with your hair call and book an appointment with Erin she is the best and she loves adding new clients «friends» to her list
Review edit 7−14−06 Erin left so don’t bother asking for her… she still does hair in her salon feel free to call her at Lasting Impressions downtown Naperville 630−355−8775
