Exposed Salon

Had my first appointment at Exposed with Santos today! So beyond thrilled with the results. I was growing out my hair from really bad cut and he worked miracles with both cut and color. Thanks Santos!

I have been going to Anna since she was a college student in Naperville working not too far from where her Salon is now. I've watched her grow into a compassionate woman with so much to offer to her clients and continues to learn new techniques. She has started up and relocated her Salon and continues to grow her business with an excellent staff along with wonderful stylists. I would recommend Exposed to anyone looking for a simple cut to a new creative look. I have always trusted Anna with my hair for 20+ years and l have always been happy with the results. Try Exposed . . More...

Thanks so much, Ginny, for refreshing my look just in time for Spring!  I came in with at least 2 inches of my hair, "shredded," dried up, screaming for a trim. You trimmed, gave my face "framing," and finished it off with a pretty stylish "blow-out". In addition, you gave me some tips for caring for my hair so that it would shine, shine, shine as it did when you were done with the style.  Thanks so much to you and the very friendly staff...

The friendly & professional stylists know their craft and the environment is welcoming, clean, attractive & very chic.  I have seen the stylists work with all kinds of styles, from traditional to THE latest thing. They know their products, keep good records on their customers & have great rapport with the young, the old & everything in between. As a customer of fourteen years I would highly recommend Exposed Salon! More...

I have been going to Exposed Salon since their early days in the original location.  Staff have always been cheery and attentive.  Anna gives a fabulous cut and style for my long, layered hair.  My mom has been going to Anna for cuts and color for just as long.  She always loves the outcome and how Anna really follows what she asks for.  Stylists often times try to do what they think you'd look best with rather than what the client likes.  Not Anna.  This weekend I had my first appointment in the new space and I'm in love!  The décor is absolutely fabulous.  The space is so bright and contemporary.  I highly recommend Exposed!

LOVE IT!Great job from my stylist Anna! She did a fantastic job highlighting and styling my hair plus She was the sweetest person. I also had an olaplex treatment added to my appointment. (Highly recommend) I will be going back for sure and I finally found a stylist I trust...plus I will be taking my little one to her when it's time for a cut because she has curls and not only does Anna know how to cut curly hair but she has curly hair herself so it adds even more trust! Also: Jenn shampooed and assisted in the treatment and preparation, she was extremely personable and kind as well. Overall, of you are on the fence about where to go...go to Exposed!!!*i came back just now to edit and add one more comment after reading other reviews. I am sorry others had a bad experience here but I just had to add something. Other reviewers (2 people that I had read) stated that the positive reviews were fake or that the 5star reviews are friends of the staff..Lol..um...no. I have never met anyone that works Exposed and my review is certainly not fake in fact just to counterbalance these negative reviewers insults to us positive reviewers I will go ahead and add that I am 40 years old and this may possibly be the best salon experience I've ever had.

I can't say enough about the place. I called at 9:06am and was taken within the hour. Loren, the receptionist, worked hard to get me in. Luckily for me, Megan was my stylist. I let her do whatever was necessary to fix the horrible cut i had from another salon. She listened to my few guidelines and she was off. It is an awesome cut on my curly hair.  As for the place itself, yes, it is small and tight, but between the customers and stylist it felt homey. I will be back. More...

I highly recommend this salon for haircuts. I've been consistently getting my hair cut by Jenee for about two years now. I have changed my hairstyle a lot over the years, and Jenee has always been the laid-back stylist I've turned to when wanting to take a bit of a risk. I walked in with medium length ombre hair and plenty of dead ends that reached just past my shoulders and asked Jenee to chop it off to an extra curly chin-length bob. A few months later, I had her cut it into a shorter, edgier pixie cut. When I decided to grow my hair out, I went back in for a trim to avoid the dreaded awkward mullet phase that comes when you're growing out a short cut. The only reservation might apply to women of color: I have hair that is thin and wavy which most American stylists are trained to cut, but like many brown girls know, it's pretty difficult to lift color on our extremely dark brown hair - something that the stylists didn't seem too aware of. I have gotten pretty used to dying my hair on my own, and have determined that I need some pretty hefty dye or some pre-bleaching, but I decided I'd at least get burgundy peek a boos in my non-virgin hair professionally done. I appreciated skipping pre-bleaching to avoid extra damage to my hair, but my 40 bucks ended up yielding pretty invisible results. I eventually dyed my hair again myself to bring out the color.

I was looking for a salon to do my hair and makeup for myself and my wedding party on my wedding day for June 2012. Based on the Yelp reviews and their professional website I called Exposed Salon. I was excited to know they have packages specifically for bridal parties because I wanted a great experience for myself and bridal party overall.I had my makeup and hair trial one week prior to the wedding. I can't remember my hair stylist's name but she was amazing and so sweet. She was also engaged at the time so she was extremely excited to be helping a fellow bride. I also don't remember the lady who did my makeup but she did an equally fantastic job. I am very picky about how my makeup is done. Since I have super fair skin, it is hard to get a foundation that is my skin tone and doesn't make me look orange. She did exactly what I wanted and I felt like a bride!On the big day, I arrived with my bridal party and there was a slight wait. The salon had a bridal party right before us and was just finishing them all up. I loved how everyone's hair and makeup turned out, especially my own! The only thing I wasn't thrilled about this salon is that it is quite tight on the inside. There are a lot of bodies for a small space and it can almost be claustrophobic. As I was sipping a water while getting my hair done I realized that it was covered in hair spray because the ventilation wasn't that good either. I noticed my bridesmaids had the same problem. If you select a package in which they offer champagne for your party while getting your hair done, this could be a major downer. Overall the staff were all super sweet and helpful. Everyone ended up looking gorgeous on the wedding day because of the staff here! I would highly recommend this salon for a bride looking to get hair and makeup for their bridal party. More...

Have not found a salon that I absolutely love until now.  Because of its Yelp rating, I called and set up an appointment with Sara.  I walked out of that place feeling like a movie star.  I expected the paparazzi to be outside waiting; that's how seriously fantastic and gorgeous I felt! I've got a lot of hair, and when I say a lot, I mean I have to use industrial strength rubber bands to hold my hair up in a pony tail.  It's also super thick and super straight so on most days, I end up looking like The Ring Girl...except not so muddy.  Sara and I decided on side swept bangs and long layers.  My hair actually has dimension to it now.  I'm completely in love with the new do.  Sara also gave me an open invitation to come back if I didn't know how to style my hair after I left; she said that she'd walk me through it as many times as I needed.  I'll probably be moving soon and am really sad that I can't take her with me. As for the space that some Yelpers have commented on, yes, it's a smaller salon.  The space doesn't bother me.  It's not as cramped as some make it out to be.  No one is running into each other, and I'm not running into things.  Pricing for what I left with was more than reasonable.  I usually end up paying more at higher end salons and was never this happy with the results.  Would definitely recommend this place over and over again.

I had recently moved to the area and have been having a heck of a time finding someone who can cut, not butcher, my coarse, thick, curly locks. Yelp sent me to Exposed. Thank you!I went in for highlights, color touch-up, and a cut with Jasmine. Going in, my hair was a nice auburn with bright red highlights in the crown that had just blended in. I was disappointed in the blending and wanted the same bright, vibrant highlights all over but going "POP! POP!" Jasmine suggested lightning the intended highlighted areas. I am down for whatever so we went that route. When she rinsed out the lightener, we discovered awesome lightened highlights. They served as a very nice contrast to the auburn and the random bright red highlight that was still in there. A little toner and my hair now looks like the color of beautiful autumn leaves. It was unintentional but completely amazing!! Jasmine took some of the weight out and changed the angle of my layering in order to avoid the fun pyramid head look my curls can give. I had gotten a good cut before but when curled I couldn't shake pyramid head so I am excited about this switch. All in all, a fabulous experience.Pro-tip: if you go after 3pm, you can park in the lot right next door otherwise you will be ticketed. More...

I moved into the area about 5 weeks ago. I needed a haircut, so I went to a very upscale salon I had driven past on the way to work. I got the WORST haircut I've ever had. I combed it forward (roman look) to hide as much of the unevenness as I could, but after two weeks, I couldn't take it anymore. Despite my fear that nothing could be done because it was so short (in some places), I decided to take action.I used Yelp! to do extensive research, and ended up making an appointment with Anna, who cut it this evening.Although I didn't hear any trumpets sounding or choruses singing while she was working on me, she performed a miracle. It's not perfect (I knew it couldn't be), but I'd say my hair is a 7.5/10. Considering it was a -25 when I walked in, I am ecstatic about the 32.5-point improvement.In addition, everyone was very friendly and accommodating (despite my arriving 15 minutes late due to heavy traffic). I have already booked my follow-up appointment. I highly recommend Exposed. More...

I have curly hair so I know that I am a challenge for most stylists.  I have honestly never found someone that actually understood how to work with my hair.  I usually leave a salon totally underwhelmed by the results and pull my hair back into a pony tail as soon as I can.This time was totally different. Unfortunately I was about 15 minutes late for my first appointment with Anna (stupid rush hour), and even though I called ahead to let them know, I was definitely expecting some attitude once I got there.  This was definitely not the case. I was greeted with a smile and taken right away to Anna's chair.  We talked about what I wanted to do with my hair and I immediately knew that she was going to be different. We discussed in detail how she was going to cut my curls (rather than chop them off in layers so I look like  a christmas tree!)  She also recommended a great product, and not in the pushy salesy way.  I can honestly say that this was the first hair cut that I have had in an extremely long time that I absolutely loved! I definitely have found my new stylist and salon! More...

Now, I have gotten my hair cut and styled at a lot of places. A few family members began going to Exposed because it was so close to where we live. There really are a million places to get your hair cut in the suburbs, but this place had just opened and the decorating of the salon was very cool so I also eventually stopped in. The cuts were always great, but soon I went away to college and just never made it back in. A few weeks ago I needed a really good hair cut and didn't feel like driving all the way down to the city to the place I have been going for a few months. So, I knew what to do, call up Exposed and try and get an appointment with Anna. She was booked as I expected, but they took my name and promised to call if they had a cancellation. They did, and the experience was as wonderful as I remembered. Love the cut and can sleep easy knowing that I can always count on Anna at Exposed to give a great precision hair cut! More...
