I came in because my feet were looking CRUSTY!!!! Im talking ROUGH from years of hiking! It was quick and easy to make an appointment and I was immediately attended to once I arrived. Jocelyn REVIVED my feet. They hadnt been this smooth since I first saw the light of a hospital room. Overall experience was relaxing and great!
Helena gave me the most amazing hydrafacial today. She explained all the products and procedures she was about to do so I felt comfortable. I get monthly facials, and this was by far the most relaxing facial I have ever received. She was extremely knowledgeable on what she was using and explained why she recommended it. She was gentle and thorough. I could tell she was experienced and confident in what she was doing. I booked another!
It was my first time at Octagon Salon and I must say, everyone was friendly and professional. I highly recommend Corri! She was patient and made me feel very comfortable.
My hair is curly Im just disappointed of ever coming here. If u have curly hair please do your research.
I had been going to Helena the past two years for eyelash extensions. Initially I was happy with the results. About 3 months ago I started noticing the lashes looking less than ideal. They fell out easily, faced different directions, and hung low into my line of vision.I expressed my concerns, maybe the lashes were too long, and nothing improved. The last lash fill lasted maybe one week. When I called the salon I was scheduled for a partial fill to which I was charged. It was disheartening, I don’t mind paying for my lashes, but when they don’t last and the quality has diminished, I find myself looking elsewhere for my extensions. Hopefully my natural lashes haven’t suffered damage due to the quality I have been receiving.
Ester is phenomenal at her craft!! She made my hair look so beautiful to perfection!! She has amazing skills, and is very eloquent and professional! Very sweet professional stylist! Thank You Ester!The front desk people could show my energy tho! Other wise great hairstylist!
Great place!! So clean and welcoming! Thank you for such great service and going above and beyond!!
Love this place.. always super happy and excited when I leave! ❤️
Love my stylist Evie, she is a cut above the rest. 🙃
Girlfriend did the hydra facial and she loved it
My stylist, Stella is fabulous and has a great conversation. Made me feel as I’d been going to her for years. I got a woman’s cut and asked for bangs and she did a fantastic job. Absolutely love my new look!!!
Excellent service. Thank you.
Alex does a great job looking for a new stylist and she happened to fit the piece I was missing she cuts my hair great with caring fairness and understanding👍👍 I recommend her all the time.
Great place!! So clean and welcoming!
No one is better with a somewhat nervous little head than Sabrina! She is so patient and so sweet. She knows just how to get them looking in the right direction to make those perfect locks. My niece was absolutely glowing after her deep condition and cut.Additionally I have been seeing Sabrina since she started doing hair! I have watched her strive to be the best and earn top certifications in her field. It absolutely shows in her work! She can transform hair like no other. I am always absolutely happy with the amount of time and effort she puts into making me happy with the final result. I can’t imagine ever going to anyone else. Thank you Sabrina. 💕
Ive been to Octagon three times now, once for a haricut for myself, once for a bayalage color, and I took my daughter here for a haricut. All three times we saw Melissa and all three times were a fantastic experience. Not only is she a skilled stylist, she is sweet and friendly and made us feel pampered and special. I have never had a stylist who did exactly what I asked her to and had such a wonderful personality. I will recommend her to anyone I meet! Thanks Melissa!
So, I just got my hair done today. I asked for an ashy brown color and the girl I had (I believe) was Sabrina. She did okay! She was very kind, & colored it nicely. Some of the top pieces near the roots look a TAD brassy but overall the color is nice. However I had a problem with how she blew out my hair. She kinda rushed through it and some parts of my hair were damp... Therefore It was extremely heavy and frizzy because she put a lot of product as well. I could barely run my hands through it. Thankfully I got home and my twin sis fixed it very nicely for me! (She’s awesome at blow drying my curly hair lol) It looked bouncier and just overall nicer. This could have been a lack of communication on my part of exactly how I wanted my hair to be blow dried, but no one wants to look frizzy and fluffy after spending what I spent here :/ so overall 3 out of 5 just because I liked her and the color job was good.
Always the highlight of my month when I visit. Everyone is very friendly. And Emilee does an amazing job at cuts and color. I request her all the time.
Stopped in last week to see Nicci, who I hadnt seen in a few years. She again, fixed a bad haircut- not only fixed but perfected. Left feeling so much better. If you struggle with how your hair lays, styled or not- go see her!!You will be very happy at her knowledge.
I have been going to the Octagon for years. During that time I have experience numerous services and staff. Lauren does my nails and is very good at what she does. I have also had facials, waxing and massages, which were all done with professionalism. They have taken precautions to protect their customers as well as the staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. I highly recommend the Octagon.
If you ever get your hair done here, I recommend you don’t let then put a ring light on your head with foils in. I repeat do NOT let them use a ring light especially for bleaching hair. Such a high end salon for not such a great job. The lady burnt my hair tremendously as well as filling the bowls more than four times to over charge me when my hair isn’t even that long.
Bought an Xmas Gift Cert for my wife Debie, mainly cuz its Local, and is/was HIGHLY Rated. Debie went there for a Service and said the Facility was Clean, Staff was Professional & Friendly, and looking forward to using the balance of her Gift Certificate! 👍😁😷
Loved it lauren did a great job with my hair
Very happy with the experienced beauticians
It was really nice to be pampered again after almost 3 months. The Salon’s safety procedure setup up was reassuring. They kept personal contact to a minimum, yet attentive. Service from Jennifer was excellent as usual. Thank you.
NuFree wax is the best! Helena has been performing my wax services for several years. She is professional and has become part of my extended family. Everyone at Octagon is friendly and caring.
Corri is my go to for a facial. She is personable, welcoming, greets you with a smile every time, and makes you feel comfortable. I have been switching between the 60 and 90 minute facials for the last few months. My skin is doing much better! I was blessed with dry and combination skin. Getting my facials has really helped and the dermasound gets all the yuck out! Love it here!
Natalie is awesome! Been going to her for 7 years (hard to believe). I just got tape in extensions and she did an amazing job. They look and feel so natural. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
It was a couple of years ago but it was just a horrible experience. My husband got me a gift card for this place for our anniversary and I was sooooo excited I made an appointment to get a mani and pedi only to be completely disappointed at how snobby careless and rud the tech was. When I got home and he asked me how it was I lied to my husband and told him I love it because I knew he really wanted me to enjoy myself and didnt want him to feel bad for sending me to a horrible place like this a place thats prejudice and make minorities feel unwanted. Im not sure if that lady still works for octagon but I have heard similar stories from other friends and not much has changed. I would never recommend this place to anyone EVER!
First time getting my hair cut and dyed at Octagon. Melissa was awesome and other staff very nice as well! Melissa made me feel really comfortable, and she asked me exactly what I wanted to achieve before I left. I was not disappointed, my hair looks and feels so healthy! She did an amazing job and I will be back!!! Recommending to my friends and family!
Me and my friend got an eyelash perm. Everything seemed fine, took about an hour and a half. The girl doing it was very nice but the results looked exactly the same. It wasn’t worth my money. They service is good but i was very disappointed, it was like throwing my money away. Seriously I do not recommend.
I have been going to Octagon for many years and would normally highly recommend all stylists. I saw Emilee for a new hairstyle and I had a picture. I realize a picture is just an indication and will not run out exact. It did not remotely look like the pictur that had long swooping bangs. It was cut more like a pixie
Marissa was on time, very professional and in no time at all gave me a beautiful cut and style. I would highly recommend her!
So friendly and welcoming. I had my first professional cut and didnt know exactly what to do. Pamela made time for my sister and I, and recommended alot of different cuts she thought would be appropriate. She is so friendly and warm spirited, felt like family. In the end, she completely transformed my hair and I feel like a new woman! She has it looking so healthy and fresh, looks like a cut from a magazine! She did my sisters hair following mine, and my sisters hair looks amazing as well! Extremely satisfied! Highly recommended!!!
Usually I do my own hair but didn’t feel like it . HUGE MISTAKE!!!! spent 8 hours at this salon 600$ later and I hated my hair !!!! Beware of receptionist booking you with newer stylists .Girl was friendly but her work was definitely not worth 600$ !!!Felt like she purposely took forever since she probably didn’t have much bookings for her week and made her commission for that week off of wasting my damn time . Not the way to do it !!!!
I am so impressed with the wonderful atmosphere of this salon every time I am there. The owner is very hands on and my stylist Ana is amazingly talented. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend Octagon Salon & Spa ~
Such a friendly atmosphere, easy check in process! Always makes me want to come back! I have found my holy grail for my eyebrows and that’s Chloe! Check her out! She has helped me out on getting my eyebrows back on track
My cousin went in to get her hair dyed. It was completely uneven and not to mention they overcharged her. The lady was so unprofessional. She didnt do anything to her to keep it from damaging from the bleach she applied on her. Worst place to get your hair done. Talk about how unfair it is.
Jodi gave me an amazing haircut. She cut and styled my hair until I was completely satisfied. She is so much fun to chat with and I enjoyed every second!
I have been seeing Sabrina for hair color for years! When I made the decision to let my grey hair grow out she was so helpful during the process! She was patient and helped get the ends of my hair to the perfect color that matched my grey!
Natalie is my stylist and she is always amazing. I had her put some pink highlights in and they are just what I wanted. Natalie always know what to do to make my experience just perfect!
Such a friendly atmosphere, easy check in process! Always makes me want to come back! I have found my holy grail for my eyebrows and that’s Chloe! Check her out! She has helped me out on getting my eyebrows back on track
Ive been going to Octagon for a little over a year now (and bringing my mom there as well) and we cant say enough good things about it!! Janelle runs a tight ship and it shows... the girls couldnt be friendlier and all have amazing skills. Corri is a magician! Ive loved the way she does my eyebrows, and last night finally got up the courage to ask about products to help with some dark spots on my face. After just using the products last night and this morning, I am already seeing results! Our regular hair stylist moved on, but my mom saw Jai for the first time last night and received the best cut she has had ever! She couldnt stop raving about Jais skills, warm personality, and the detailed instructions she gave for at-home styling. I cannot wait to have her work her magic on my color next week! I only wish we would have tried Octagon a loooong time ago!
Such a friendly atmosphere, easy check in process! Always makes me want to come back! I have found my holy grail for my eyebrows and that’s Chloe! Check her out! She has helped me out on getting my eyebrows back on track
Wonderful service and wonderful people. I am here often, always a pleasant experience! I just had my second Brazilian blowout and I absolutely love the results! My hair has never been better!
Fantastic stylists! Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Great product selection. When you walk out after your appointment you REALLY have style!
Jennifer is amazing! She fixed a color issue two other salons hadn’t been able to. She’s super up to date on all the latest and highly skilled.
Corri does an excellent job with my eyebrow tint - looks so natural.Kathleen does a wonderful job with my pedicure. Since I have neuropathy in my feet, she has to watch out for certain areas that are painful - she remembers this each time I come in.
Hair cut appointment was canceled by prior to calling octagon, they were great at accommodating a last minute request and hair cut was great.
This is my go to salon. I have facials with Helena, massages with Dawn, and pedicures and hair with Pamela. Each of them is extremely talented and enjoyable to be with. I look forward to all of my appointments and feel great when I leave Octagon. I would recommend each of them highly!
I absolutely love going here. The prices may be a little on the higher end but it is worth it for the atmosphere of the place and the phenomenal service they provide each and every time you go.
Octagon is a first class salon & spa! I have been going to Mallory for several years and I always get fantastic cuts, color and service! The employees are all professional and friendly. The salon is welcoming with great products and gifts. I highly recommend Octagon to anyone wanting professional service and current styles in a welcoming environment.
The massages are really good. Ive had all three of the therapists and theyre excellent, even the new woman, Jasmine. Ive had massages at other places and in other countries and I think Octagon is really good.
Service is friendly and everyone is super cool. Nina was really awesome in helping me out. Highly recommend it!
One of our greatest assets is our hair so we like to ensure that we have a stylist we trust. I have never had anything but a professional and talented stylist since coming to Octagon for almost 15 years or more. Natalie has been my trusted stylist for the majority of the time. I am a regular now and leave with each experience feeling really good about my hair. Thank goodness we have this opportunity to pamper ourselves!
It was my first time getting my hair colored and I was hesitant and nervous especially because I went to other salons and every stylist had told me they couldn’t do what I wanted. After speaking with Pamela, she was confident and willing to do my hair. I am so glad I went with her as she met my expectations. It can be a little pricey but wouldn’t trust anyone else!
I just got off a plane and needed a rushed same day trim for an event. Octagon was just perfect for that! Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Pamela washed and trimmed up my hair in under an hour! She was very knowledgeable and took her time paying attention to details. I took a leap of faith in choosing a salon and I couldnt have been happier with the results. If you are looking for a great salon North of Chicago, this is the one!
Corey and Helena are they best ladies to go get your wax on!! Definitely recommend!
Totally relaxing atmosphere, no high pressure sales, and my Girls are sooooo friendly. I always feel like my hair and nails look better when I leave.
Octagon is an exceptional Salon. My wife and I, along with my 3 adult children all use Mallory. They come from Chicago, Wauconda, and Kenosha. Mallory is a gifted full service Stylist and we miss not being able to keep our regular appointments with her, during the Covid 19 crisis.The entire salon is well cared for and staffed my Janelle Nagy. She is both a great leader for her team as well as a truly caring person.I would heartily recommend Octagon Salon and Mallory in particular
Mallory keeps me looking young and fresh. This salon is very clean and everyone is so friendly.
I love Octagon Salon, and especially my stylist, Natalie. She is the best! My hair and color always look great. She will make suggestions if you ask, but never is pushy. My hair always looks great. If this is your first time at Octagon, ask for Natalie and you wont be disappointed. I have been a customer of Natalies for close to four years and I have never left the salon feeling anything but great, never a bad cut or color. She will make you look and feel fabulous! The staff is always friendly, as a regular, I am able to have my appointments book for the same time automatically. They send you email and text reminders so you never have to worry about when is your next appointment. The salon also has a great selection of products and boutique items if you want to do a little shopping while you wait.
Loved it! I had my hair color here by Lexi and it was stunning. I highly recommend her and this salon
Natalie is my stylist, great work for me always! Girls at front very friendly, love Octagon.
I absolutely love Corri! She won me over as a loyal client because shes so detailed and thorough with her services. She doesnt rush and makes it as painless as possible considering.
I absolutely love this place!! I tend to go every year for my leg wax and Kelley is just fabulous. She welcomes you with a friendly and warm smile. Before she starts working on you shell make sure if you need anything or if youre comfortable. Ive been to many other places for waxing and I always come back to Octagon Salon. Keep on doing a great job Kelley! So well worth it. :)
Great staff, great atmosphere, and always do a superior job. Thank you Octagon Salon & Spa.
Awesome.
Professional, Courteous, and Wonderful are the first words that come to mind to describe my experience with the Octagon. I recently had a massage, and the atmosphere was welcoming and clean, and I felt refreshed and relaxed afterward. I went to the Octagon for years to get my hair done, and always had great experiences. I wish I still lived close and could still have my hair done there regularly. The owner is an amazing woman who I greatly respect. I would highly recommend the Octagon!
Honestly, what can I say other than I have such an amazing experience every time I come into Octagon. Ive been coming here ever since I was a little girl with my grandma Peggy and thats when I fell in love with the place. Ever since Ive been coming here, Ive never had a bad experience. I come in every four weeks and I have Audra foil my hair and it turns out perfect every time! I also see Amanda, who does my facials and she is a 10/10! I have also seen Lauren and Kathleen who have done my nails and they always turn out so beautiful! The front desk is super friendly and they offer you a snack and beverage as soon as you check in. If you really want to get pampered or just relax this is definitely the place to be!
I used to drive over 100 miles round-trip to have waxing services done. I was searching for someone closer who offered the Nufree wax-which is far more gentle on the skin. I had my first appointment at Octagon 5 years ago and have never gone anywhere since! Kelley is the absolute best!!! She is very knowledgeable, professional, and quick! Her method and style ensures that your wax goes very quickly and essentially pain-free! I highly recommend Kelley and Octagon services!
Love this place! Emilee always does a such great job with my hair. I wont go anywhere else.
Natalie does a wonderful job with color and foils. I can always count on Natalie making my hair look perfect.
I came in and was greeted very nicely and respectfully. I was offered a drink and the hair dresser made me feel very welcomed. I showed her what I wanted and gave me exactly what I was looking for. The products they used on my hair smell amazing and give such a shiny look on my hair. Such an amazing experience
I love Octagon! Every time I go, I have an amazing experience and leave feeling great. The staff is so sweet and the stylists are so talented! Would highly recommend.
I have been going to the Octagon Salon and.Spa since 1992, and today I had the ABSOLUTE BEST massage by Jasmine! She has far surpassed any massage therapist that I have ever been with. Kudos to Janelle for bringing her skill to the Octagon!! Ifeel so wonderful right now so thank you Jasmine 😁😁
Quality service and nice staff. Facility is super nice and clean. I was satisfied with both my pedicure and my bikini wax. And thats coming from someone who never gets pedicures done because I can never find a good place!
Kristan has been my stylist I think for over 5 years now at Octagon and she always makes me happy and fully satisfied at the end of every appointment. I like the feeling of having to work with her ONLY (once an appointment is set) and not passed around to others with a feeling of being rushed because another client is waiting. She takes time to know if I needed some change on my hair style and color on every appointment. That is why even when her schedule became tighter because she is part time now, I still try to book with her! Will ever be loyal to Octagon because of stylists like her!
Ive been going to Octagon for a little over a year! Ana is amazing. She gave me an ombre color that I totally love. She also gave me a straightening treatment that makes my curly hair super manageable! Love the salon so much!!!! And they always have something going on and cute jewelry and accessories for sale! Love!
Professional service, great cut and color!
Alexi is great. She is so professional. She colored my hair and style it eaxactly the way that I wanted.
Octagon is a great Salon & Spa - I have gone there for both salon and spa items. I always feel welcomed and like family when I am there. The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is fabulous! They just re-did their reception area and it looks a little crowded but its beautiful!
My first time going to Octagan, (yesterday) was awesome. The staff is wonderful. It was nice to see so many ladies with Curly hair, (like me) especially my stylist, since not many women know how to work with curly hair. My stylist, Lori, was great, friendly and taught me a couple things about my hair. I cant wait to go back once a week for a deep conditioning treatment. Thanks so much.
🤠🤗👍I had bought my wife and my daughter days at the spa. My wife really enjoyed the days I purchased for her, my daughter was not too pleased though. I tend to lean towards what my wifes opinion was, she was happy with the service. If it wasnt for my daughter, I would have given them five stars. Octagon has been there for many years, if they were not good, they would have been out of business a long time ago.🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍👍👍
I have gone there twice since I moved. Both experiences were great. It is slightly more expensive than I am use to, but I still went back! I would highly recommend Kelley for any waxing. I had two manicures, equally good quality. One pedicure, totally amazing, and all of my weird request were honored. I did get a haircut, which was exactly what I asked for...... and they gave free hot chocolate!
Love my hair. Jen really listened to what I wanted and delivered 110%!
I came there first time and Melissa helped me out. She is very professional and generous person. Overall I had good experience.
I love the way this spa is set up, they have a great area for the pedicures, Very relaxing and clean. I always go with Alex she is very sweet and does a great job on my pedi
I was absolutely amazed with Angie, my stylist!! I had an up-do done for being maid of honor at my sisters wedding and I have to say that I loved the hairstyle she did, her personality, and how well it stayed all night long! Angie was so nice, taking the hairstyle I wanted, adjusting it just slightly to how she felt was best, and giving me something better than I thought of! She was very relaxing and easy to talk to throughout the whole time. Some of the other bridesmaids had hairstyles that we adjusted right away or started falling out before the ceremony so if you go there I do recommend Angie over the others. I didnt have one hair out of place after hours of dancing and partying, I cannot rave enough!!
Wow, what a pampering I received during a pedicure today! Madeleine took great care of me and my feet. Felt like a new person when leaving the spa. Treat yourself! Call Octagon! See if Madeleine is available; youll be glad you did!!
Octagon is the only salon I ever go to get my hair done, even living close to an hour away. It’s well worth the drive. I leave feeling my absolute best every time. The atmosphere is fantastic and so are the stylists.
I have been a loyal fan of Octagon for 20 years and love everyone who took care of me. The staff are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable . They treated me like a best friend instead of just a customer. They are current with trends in hairstyles and beauty products. I have Brought my friends and my daughter here and they are all so pleased that I did this.
Natalie is awesome! Always nice and friendly.
Jancey ROCKS!I never leave disappointed, she takes the time to listen & hear her clients. I get more compliments on my hair, thanks to her. Check in is always easy and friendly. The salon is clean and comfortable.
I am always feel so special in this salon. My hair looks great, my nails look great and I love to shop and buy all the wonderful accessories there. Thank you girls at Octagon for always making me feel so special.
Ice salon and shop. Employees very friendly and polite. BUT they charge $10 to remove CND shellac plus the mani ure so its pricey, $40 total.
It was a wonderful time with Evie .my favorite for a very long time. The staffs were so friendly.
