Salon Echo

Have been here a few times for a cut with Pear. She has done a fabulous job with my longer layered cut! I really enjoy chatting with her during our appointment and get compliments on my hair afterwards. The environment of the salon is very nice and it's super convenient for me. Thanks so much for the great work! More...

I have always gone downtown for a massage. A friend of mine recommended Salon Echo and I was very pleased! I was greeted by friendly customer service at the reception desk. And I experienced a very thorough deep tissue massage, so relaxing, tight muscles perfectly loosened. I will definitely be back on a regular basis! More...

I went to Salon Echo last night for the second time with Pear cutting my hair into a VERY cute pixie cut. I decided to write a review because I have worked in customer service in the past and I was painfully aware last night I was "THAT client. " I had to call to reschedule an hour before my appointment, and even after that I was 10 minutes late. I wish I remembered the front desk attendant's name because she was so patient with me and cool about it. I had said that my cut would just be a neck trim...but then I changed my mind and wanted a completely new look. Again, the staff didn't blink an eye and were flexible. The cut required a lot of time, and Pear was such an expert in figuring out what I wanted to get it just right. You can tell that she loves her job and her craft. Women's short haircuts are the test of a skilled stylist, and she did an incredible job. I finished after closing time, and I had forgotten that tips are cash only. Mortified, I asked if I could run to the bank to get cash. Front desk attendant could have given me attitude about this because I was imposing on her evening, but she graciously let me run to the bank and back. This staff earned a 30% tip from me because they were so excellent. I just want to say bravo to Salon Echo for providing me with such exemplary service and being so compassionate when I was a hot mess last night LOL. Thanks ladies!!!! More...

I've gone to 4 Chicago salons in the last 2 years, and this was the best by far (with service, pricing, and atmosphere)! I've tried everything from Robert Jeffery to small local places, and this is the perfect combination of high-quality salon service and friendly atmosphere with a neighborhood feel. I was with Pear, a student, and she was amazing (both professionally and fun to talk to during the service). I finally feel like I found someone who heard what I wanted and delivered it perfectly.

I followed Jess from her previous position in Evanston, and I'm so glad I did. She's (still) great, and Salon Echo is my go-to place for waxing (my eyebrows are reaching their fullest potential) and serious business skincare. What else? It's right off the Bryn Mawr Red Line stop, the staff is nice and professional, they have late and early appointment times. I couldn't ask for much more. More...

I was going to one of those "men" centered salons. I am not a sports guy and don't need to see sports scores when I am getting a haircut, nor do I need to see dead animals on the walls. And I started to wonder, after the 3rd cut, why the stylist kept talking to me as if we were like in a relationship. Ok, there is a South Park episode where the local school girls open up a social cafe and pander to the boys who end up spending all their money because they feel like they are special and the girls actually like them. Sadly, its just a transaction so to speak. After the 3rd time I made the connection. Duh! ! It was just convenient to my location/schedule. So, when Maria cut my hair at Salon, I realized just how bad of a cut I was getting. You know the difference when you get a cut from someone that knows exactly what they are doing. And the conversation was authentic and I didn't feel like I was trapped in a South Park episode. More...

My experience at Salon Echo was wonderful. I had not been to a salon in a long time and was nervous. I have silver hair and the first thing stylists usually turn to is color. It was really wonderful that on one said anything about coloring my hair-in fact I got nothing but compliments about the color it is. Melissa listened. LISTENED. She gave me exactly what I wanted; a flattering, versatile and easy haircut that is getting better each day. I walked out of the salon feeling like a queen. It had been years since my "real haircut." Since my hair is a wavy, it takes a week or so for it to show its true self. A week later it needed a little touch up. Five minutes and a few ships later it was perfect. The salon is clean and bright. Everyone I met was really nice. I will be going back! More...

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Maria and the Salon Echo Team. When planning a wedding or any big event, the best advice we can offer is hire the pros and trust them to do the work and do it well. Never could something be more accurate than with Maria who was a dream come true from start to finish. Maria and her team are hands down fantastic stylists and makeup artists. They are even more skilled at making you feel comfortable and in control when in their company. They were energetic, confident and a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of the day itself. They even coordinated all the logistics with us throughout the year from facial and skin regiments, to prepping my hair extensions, to spa days for us to relax. Take it from us, purchase the full bridal packages with Salon Echo...best decision ever!Thanks again for providing a first-class service. With one of the biggest days of our lives and such a huge action packed event we couldn't have been luckier than to share it with all of you! More...

FINALLY. After a salon nightmare in my past (not here), I was nervous trying to find a place to get my hair cut ahsn I moved to Chicago. I didnt need to be worried here. I think I had the owner, and she was amazing. Talked to me about a good cut for my hair type, how to style my hair, why I had fraying and how to fix it. She actually listened to what I wanted and then delivered!! Sure, its a little higher on the money scale, but not crazy expensive. I think it's worth it to pay a little more and get an amazing experience / hair cut. More...

I absolutely love Salon Echo! This is the only place I will get my hair cut, even it if means I have to wait months before coming back home to Chicago from college.

I have also had my hair styled by Maria for high school formals and I was always very happy with the results. Additionally, the student price is hard to beat considering the quality Aveda products, staff, and overall experience at the salon. I highly encourage people to go to Salon Echo if they haven't already. More...

Love this salon, and Maria the owner! She was very attentive to my requests when she did my hair and the cut that she gave me was fabulous. She also took the time to blow out my hair which she didn't need to do because my hair is very heavy and thick and curly yet she still offered to blow it out for me, instead of just drying with the diffuser. The massage therapist Phi-Wan was great, and really worked over some areas I had tight knots in. The space is lovely and let very clean. I can't wait to try their pedicure station, as it looks awesome! More...

Regarding MASSAGE. Splendid massages from Phiwan. (l deeply regret if I misspelled his name.) I've had many massages before, but this man is Yoda as far as I'm concerned. That's a good thing.Read on if you're considering healing your body and soul. I live in the neighborhood and know that Bryn Mawr isn't the cutest street in the world. Don't let that scare you away from a massage at Echo. The street is also very safe even though it's nowhere near as "cute" as the main drag of Clark in Andersonville. I wasn't shopping for "cute". I was in desperate physical pain from a Trapezius strain. Marvelous, friendly, and professional team all around, IMHO. Get a massage from Phiwan. He knows the human body so well and can work out longstanding pain you didn't know was there. You only have one body. Treat yo'self! Not only do you deserve it, but after getting one you'll be all the more ready to meet the slings and arrows these challenging days throw at you. Professional massages in general can seem occasionally pricey to some. Please know I *absolutely* respect that fact, Yelpers. However, their prices were competitive and fair. More importantly, sometimes we all start getting penny-wise and pound-foolish. If you need it, you need it. I needed it and badly. Give them a try. Your body and your soul will thank you.Echo team and Phiwan... Sincere THANK YOU for saving my broken body. I'll be returning soon. More...

I had come in to get my legs waxed by Quinn and she was really fun, did a great job, and made me feel like I was just hanging out with a friend as opposed to transacting business. So one day I wanted to get about 80% of my hair cut off so I went in to ask who they recommended for curly hair, and I made an appointment with Eric. I waited a week after the cut to write this review to make sure I was still really happy with it, and during that time I got a lot of compliments. Eric is fantastic and knew what I wanted even better than I did, and I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks. I went back in to have Quinn do my brows and she and Eric were both really friendly and welcoming when they saw me and made me feel like a welcome guest. They use Aveda products so the whole place smells amazing, and the value is really excellent -- lots of high-end touches without an outrageous pricetag.
