I will only get my nails done by Sue!  So of course, when she started working at this salon, I followed her here!  Keep in mind that I live in Chicago - so if I need a fill when she is at this salon, I travel an hour to see her...that's how amazing she is.  The salon is also beautiful, which is always a plus. Sue has gone above and beyond. I have struggled with acrylic nails lifting shortly after getting them done. Sue had the idea to try gel and the results have been amazing! She always takes her time, is extremely friendly and provides amazing service. I guarantee you will be amazed by her work and I can't recommend her enough! She's not only a great nail tech, but an amazing human being! Thanks Sue! Read Less

Love JD Michael and Lori! I've been coming to her since high school, and now I try to make an appointment every time I fly back to Chicago for a cut and color. Lori and the entire team are so talented, so professional! Wish I lived closer to come more frequently! Read Less

This was my first trip to the salon. I happen to be passing by on an errand and stopped in to make an appointment for a little later with whoever had an opening. I also asked the price of a haircut and style and  was told an acceptable price range for this nicer place by the receptionist.  Later before heading to the appointment I checked the website and saw a different set of prices.  But all in the acceptable ballpark.  But after I got shampooed and was in the chair with wet hair, the stylist out of nowhere informs me that the cut and style would be higher than any other thing I'd heard before. And she also said it would be okay if I just got my hair dried and left. WHAT?? I just got there! When I pointed out the website prices, the stylist said that it was an old website.  WHAT?  This is their current business site.  Anyway, I agreed pay the higher price. Upon settling up, I was asked if I was paying by cash or check?  WHAT?  Who carries checks any more?The website said they take credit cards.  And I didn't have enough cash for the service intending to play with a debit card. When I was charged, it was for a lower price because someone else rang me up, and was the same gal who told me different prices to begin with.  I got a great cut and style, but this price business made no sense to me. Do they provide a good service? Yes. Is the pricing clear? No. Read Less

Since moving to the burbs in 2012, Galina has been my one and only hair stylist. I am very picky with who does my hair and very happy I found her. She is very creative and her work is excellent. My girlfriend discovered Galina first and she is great with man hair too. Highly recommended. Read Less

Galina is AMAZING!!!!!! She is an absolute perfectionist with incredible talent! Galina has a great sense of style and an awareness of current trends. She keeps up with the latest techniques and always makes me look and feel sooooo much better than I did before I sat in her chair! Going to see Galina is like giving yourself a huge pick-me-up!  I'm constantly getting complements on my haircuts and color. She takes her time and provides personalized and professional care for her clients. I can honestly say that I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. I will be a happy client for life!!!

I've been going here for a few years now.  Thought I'd give it a shot since I was ready to make a change.  I'd never had highlights before and wanted to try them to help hide my very visible gray growth coming in.  I was hesitant but Laurie assured me I would love them.  Well, I've been going back to her ever since.  She's great and knows color very well.  I go in every 3 weeks for my gray touch ups, and when I need new highlights (which is very infrequent) or lowlights when it gets too blond (mostly in the summer) she asks if I am in agreement and then we go ahead and do it.  She's not pushy at all, very relaxed and has always been receptive to any concerns/hesitations. The place is clean and everyone is very friendly.  I'd recommend giving it a try. Read Less

Galina takes her time and knows her stuff!  She has done the best color that I have had in a long time.  It is so professional and lasts.  I am so glad I found her because she really understands my hair type which is very fine hair.  I am getting ready to make another appointment. Read Less

Been going here for years and everyone at the salon is very friendly.  Place is very clean and quite relaxing.  The moment you walk in,  they greet you and make you feel welcome.  They are a full-service salon and has been our salon of choice.Jackie H is our girl.  She always make sure that when we walk out the door that we look good and always a satisfied customer.  She does an amazing job with my hair.  She is hands down a master color expert.  Always flexible for emergencies or any last minute hair appointments.  My husband and I will not go anywhere else but Jackie fir all our hair grooming needs.  She has also been there for our daughter's events year after year such as 8th grade dance, homecoming, prom and her 18th birthday party.  Hair and makeup always turns out the way we envisioned it to be.  Make sure to check this place out as I highly recommend it and ask for Jackie H.

I love this place! I have had some terrible experiences with hairstylists in the past.  But have never regretted walking into this salon!   The staff is always very friendly and attentive.  They listen to what you want.  I love Paul!  He is warm and funny and does an amazing job!I highly recommend coming in to check them out!

My old hairstylist quit to stay home with her baby, so I desperately needed to find another great stylist. I'd been happy with her and didn't think I would be lucky enough to find another that was as good or better than her. Was I wrong or what?!!! I found Taryn at JD Michael's who gave me the most beautiful, buttery honey-highlights. She naturally blended them into my hair creating a lovely, soft sombre look. She cut long, face framing layers that are easy to style with a blow dryer and round brush. I cannot tell you how I LOVE my hair. She ROCKS!!! She gave me the Victoria's Secret bombshell hair that looks amazing on me! Read Less

I've been going to Suzy Terri Delisi for years and wouldn't trust anyone else. She always does an amazing job with my color! she told me she was starting out at JD Michael studio in palatine and that's what brought me in. Tons of experience and worth the trip. Read Less

I needed to come in today for an "emergency" situation (no joke, my hair was fried and green from another hair stylist but that's another story) and they were able to squeeze me in with Gigi. This place is great! She knows what she's doing and has a ton of experience. Makes you feel comfortable and walks you through her thought process. And boy does my hair look SO much better. They have a nice atmosphere with a very friendly team. A+ in my books :) Read Less

Wonderful! Love the atmosphere, the nice people, everything. Jhissel has done my LCN. She is clearly skilled, does a beautiful job, is professional, flexible with scheduling, and a really nice person to boot! Read Less

I've been there a couple times now and have been seeing Taryn.  My sister-in-law, who's been a client for awhile, recommended me to her or Jackie, but she was booked when I needed to come in, so Taryn it was, and I haven't been disappointed.  She spent a lot of time with me narrowing down the color I really wanted since "auburn" means something different to everyone.  The color came out perfectly and the haricut was great.  At my second visit, she duplicated the same color and it was as perfect as the first time.  Looking forward to my next visit!ETA: The only annoying thing was that at my last visit, I wanted to tip the shampoo girl and all I had was a $20.  No one there had change for it.  You can put the stylist's tip on your credit card, but not any of the helpers.  Regretfully, I had to go without tipping, something I hated to do.  You'd think they'd advise the staff, especially the people who are only making a few dollars per customer, that it's in their best interest to carry plenty of cash to give change.

Love this place! The staff is always welcoming and friendly, as soon as you walk in. Jackie K. is a phenomenal stylist/colorist. Always my go to woman to do my hair! Jackie is able to replicate styles as well as be creative enough to come up with something on the spot to suit your face. As far as color goes, no one is better! From basic one shade do's to highlights and even transforming dark brown locks into a fire engine red brand new look... Jackie is the name to ask for. You won't be sorry. Read Less

After searching for a new colorist, I thought I'd give this salon a try. Taryn was my colorist and impressed me with her knowledge of hair color. I left with great highlights and have already been receiving compliments. The salon itself captures a very warm and welcoming vibe with a very friendly staff. Read Less

Are you looking for a professional hairstylist?   Galina is the best.!   Aside from the fact that Galina is a Certified Redken Color Specialist , she is a very talented artist when it comes to a haircut and style.  I have been trusting Galina for over 10 years and she will keep my style up to date as well as knowing just how to accent my features to give me a look that I love.  Galina treats all of her clients with true professionalism as well as an invested interest in you personally.  I highly recommend Galina at JD Michaels Studio.  Judy G Read Less

JD Michael Studio is the best!  I found Jhissel from a review on this site.. thanks Marilyn!   I have been looking for someone who can do LCN nails... anyone who has them knows it's hard to find a good place that actually uses the Light Concept Nail product line.  It seems expensive but worth every penny!  I used to go to Chelsea Tyler in Schaumburg.  The owner, Denee, did a good job (not as good as Jhissel though).. and unfortunately Chelsea Tyler has bad customer service, they never care about their clients and getting them in when it's convienent.  I think its because they know that LCN is a rare product, they treat their customers like WE ARE LUCKY to get into them.  Well, LUCKY YOU!!! You found JD Michael Studio... and they have 3 technicians who ALL do LCN, and they were all trained by an LCN Educator who works on site!  No more searching for a nail salon that uses LCN.  It's a drive, but a Bakers Square is down the road .. so get your nails done and pick up a pie! :-) Read Less

You want nails that Rock? Nails that are as indestructible as rock? You need Jhissel Solis! Seriously, I've been going to Jhissel for 4 years for LCN (light concept nails). It's light years better than gel or acrylic or any other so-called "no-chip" manicure and Jhissel is the Master! She takes her time to make your nails the perfection you want and she makes your appointment tons of fun! Thank you Jhissel ... what would I do without you! Read Less

I just got my hair cut for the second time by Lauri.  She did an amazing job!  She listened to me and took in to account my life style and hair before doing my cut.  I know I will keep going back to her for a long time. Read Less
