This was my first time visiting Saraya and I had a really great experience! Sam is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable stylist. I got a haircut and a color glaze. I love the results and I was in an out in one hour! Friendly service and a nice and clean salon. 100% recommend! More...

I've been going to Deisy to get my haircut for a couple of years now and couldn't imagine getting it done by someone else! She always does an excellent job and gets me in and out when I'm in a rush! I would highly recommend booking an appointment with her for any of your hair needs :) More...

I've had a few hair services done here so far and every time I've left very pleased. The atmosphere is refreshing- clean and friendly without the stuffiness of some other south loop salons.  I would highly recommend Daisy, who has been my stylist each time. She is personable and direct, and has consistently impressed me with her knowledge and ability to work with my damaged hair. Looking forward to going back again (and again). More...

This is the second time I am here for Brazilian blowout. Have tried a few different places for hair straightening for my hair in Chicago but nothing else worked as good. Sam is amazing. He even open the salon an hour before usual time to accommodate to my schedule. Totally recommend it specially if you have long thick wavy hair. More...

I’ve walked past this salon many times and decided to give it a try for a big change up with my hair. Some might think that’s risky but I read many reviews and felt comfortable enough to go for it. This review is for a combination of the salon and the stylist. Upon walking into the salon I was underwhelmed with the set up - I know some people don’t care about that but having gone to a handful of salons in the past, Saraya was just lacking a bit. The work stations seemed outdated, the ceiling was crumbling in one area (from maybe a water leak), and it felt uninspiring. However, my stylist - Veronica - was fantastic. Very friendly, very nice, easy to talk to, and she did a wonderful job. I showed her a few pictures of what I was aiming to do - with both color and cut - and she did great. Some of the highlights on the top mid section are a little higher into my root than wanted (I was aiming for a little more of a smudged root/balayage look) but it’ll fade after a few shampoos and blend eventually. The color overall though, is perfect. She nailed it with the color!... and the cut, I love it! I went from shoulder blade/mid back length to collarbone length with a very blunt cut. If you give Saraya a try, ask for Veronica. Oh - and new customers get 20% off first visit! More...

-1 star for the salon itself, not the stylist. Saraya could use some updating. The inside is a little outdated and sad. I don't know if I'm just used to modern or upscale salons but Saraya felt like it belonged in a strip mall in Ohio - not in Chicago. The chairs for the shampoo sinks need either foot wrests or stools. I'm short and my knees were hurting very badly from my legs awkwardly dangling while laying there for 20-25 mins for the shampoo, toner, and rinse. However, my stylist - Veronica - was excellent. If you choose to go here, I recommend her! More...

This 5 star review is 100% for Saraya Salon & Spa staff. The staff here are wonderful. However, I had a HORRIBLE experience with Deborah here. I actually had a Groupon with Nails with Deborah (who rents from Saraya Salon & Spa). I do NOT recommend scheduling with Deborah! My appointment was scheduled for 8/21 at 330 pm. I was there for over 3 hours for a no chip mani and pedicure (i literally didn’t leave until 630 pm). Deborah was distracted texting on her phone for a significant amount of time (which at first did not bother me). My pedicure was great. However, my manicure experience was one of the worst i have ever had. I asked for a french manicure, and i personally prefer white tips. This is personal preference. I told Deborah that i wanted to have white tips, and her response was “asian people give white tips.” Her tone and demeanor quickly shifted from approachable to cold. I asked her if she was upset, and she said “I’m not upset! In the beauty industry, you DO NOT question the professional. The customer isn’t right.” She went on to tell me that i was insulting her because she has had several years of experience (this is literally because i asked for white tips-she wanted to paint a light pink on top of the white which i personally do not like). This woman continued with racial comments for the rest of my appointment. Never in my life have i felt more uncomfortable - she ended the appointment by saying “please don’t tell people i did your nails-this is so embarrassing for me. This is NOT MY WORK.” She let me know in the future, i should go to an “asian salon.” I would never feel comfortable meeting with Deborah again, and do not recommend her if you have a personal preference that doesn’t align with her views of “beauty.” I talked to the manager at Saraya Salon who let me know that she is renting from there-she is not an employee. He was kind and apologized on behalf of Deborah, despite the fact that he is not her employee. He offered to have one of his employees provide a no chip mani and pedi for no fee (and stated that she is much more professional and would never state such racist and insensitive comments). This 5 star review is for the way this was handled by the Saraya staff. More...

What took me so long to go here!! When Saraya first opened up I toyed with the idea to go as my former hairstylist joined their team. Never made it there and she left to move out of state, so I never made an appointment there. Go forward a few years and I decided to make an appointment after a seriously botched hair color I received from another place. Well, enters Adam into my life! My first visit to Adam 6 weeks ago for a simple root touch up led to an extensive conversation about the current state of my color and thoughts of how to fix it. Yesterday, I returned to Adam and WOW!!! My hair looks amazing! He took his time, explained every step of what he was doing and I am over the moon pleased with the results. My biggest critic, my husband loves it too! Thank you Adam for transforming my life! You are the best!!! More...

My friend recommended me to Saraya Salon. Calling and making an appointment was so easy- Sam was so accommodating. This was my first time going there; the place was super easy to find and they have a free parking garage for customers (I didn't know until after). I got there a little early but barely had to wait. I was asked if i wanted something to drink right away, which was really nice. I can't speak to the other stylists but Sam Hindi (the one who cut my hair) is amazing. I absolutely love my haircut! I will definitely be back again. More...

I had been coloring my hair black in New York and when I moved to Chicago I was skeptical to chose a hair salon. I came across Saraya salon through yelp and decided to give it a try. I came in for a consultation and Sam and Adam gave me an honest opinion about changing my dark hair to blonde. They explained that it won't be in one seating. It has to be gradual. Adam gave me a subtle balayage and the bleach he used didn't damage my hair or compromised the quality of my hair. The receptionist was really sweet as well. They spent quality time to take care of my hair and I left with lighter hair after few hours. My hair still feels soft and strong. Can not wait to come back for my second process in a month. The stylists definitely knew what they were doing and guided me step by step. The products used were high quality as well. Thank you for being patient with my hair. I wish I could give them more stars. More...

My 15 year old daughter was searching Yelp one evening on my account and found this salon in the South loop.  She was specifically looking for a good local location to get a bayalage treatment.  After reading the reviews, I agreed to take her in for her 1st major hair treatment.  The wait was about 2 to 3 hours, so I decided to see if I could have something done for myself while I waited. Luckily they were able to take me in for a last minute hair coloring and trim. My daughter wanted a blonde bayalage, but I convinced her to have something a little more subtle because of  her age. We both loved the results Adam gave her and I especially loved what Sam did to my hair. He was able to cover my grays and give me some subtle highlights to blend in with the gray when they come back.  My daughter is still talking about how great her hair looks. Everyone including the receptionist was really nice and we will both definitely be back. They do have some specials you may want to take advantage of. We were able to get 20% off our 1st visit.

I've had extensions for 4 years now and always struggled finding a salon. It's difficult to find someone who can match my hair color with my platinum tape in extensions. When I saw Blonde on the salon windows, I had to walk in. Sam told me that my hair didn't match and it needed to be more ashy (less yellow). He promised to fix my hair and I was thrilled.
