Salt Salon + Spa - Antioch, Illinois

Isabella Reid

I have been debating leaving this review for months now but I don't want anyone else to experience this.

I’m writing this review out of frustration and disappointment after my recent experience at this salon. Initially, I loved the stylist who worked on my hair, and I had good experiences in the past. However, my last visit left me in shock.

I spent an exhausting six hours in the chair, which should have raised some red flags. After that marathon session, I noticed significant damage to my hair, but at the time, I didn’t realize how severe it was. I’ve been dyeing my hair blonde for six years without any issues until now.

When I went to a different salon, recommended by my mom due to my complaints of migraines and neck pain from the long session, I was devastated to learn that I had a huge chunk of hair missing. The new stylist pointed it out, and I was left dumbfounded. The fact that my original stylist didn’t mention anything about the damage is honestly unbelievable. I would have appreciated transparency; if she had just informed me about the state of my hair, I wouldn’t have been upset.

The lack of communication and professionalism is unacceptable. I urge anyone considering this salon to think twice. No one seems to know what they’re doing here, and I regret trusting them with my hair. Save yourself the stress and potential damage—look elsewhere for your hair care needs.

*UPDATE: the owner reached out to me via email and honestly made it worse. She was extremely insensitive in her responses to me and didn’t consider my experience AT ALL. She only cared that I was calling her stylist out on google for ignoring me and telling me that it’s MY fault that I didn’t speak with the owner directly. Since I can’t respond to her on here, wanted to edit my review and provide an update.*(8:02pm 12/31/24)
I’m honestly bummed to be writing this because I thought I had found my forever hair colorist…Katlynn did my balayage spring/summer this year and I loved it, zero negative things to say about her work. Fast forward to November, week before Thanksgiving…I booked an appointment with Katlynn to go back to dark because although I loved the blonde, it was just too damaging to my hair. She did my hair, great results, all good. A couple days later after washing and living in my hair color, I noticed that there were areas that didn’t take the dark so I decided to DM her on IG. I was extremely polite, asked what she recommends (I included I picture of my hair in the DM so I could show her better than explaining)…I didn’t get a response from her but I figured she was busy or taking time off since it was during Thanksgiving time when I sent the message. I let a week or so go by and messaged again first/second week of December asking for a follow up to my original message and I got no response again. She even took down my original balayage before/after post on her IG! (which of course do as you please, it’s your page but I found it a strange coincidence). I’m sad to report Katlynn has ghosted me and I’m off to start the search for a new hair colorist 🙁

I just left a review about my experience and I did not appreciate the owner’s response. I didn’t call the salon because I was expecting Katlynn to respond to me on IG like she has all other times we’ve communicated about my hair. I wasn’t unhappy with my hair to the point of having to call the salon/owner and that’s why I went directly to her. Ignoring me was unwarranted and unprofessional because I guarantee if I wanted to book another service, she would have responded.

You cannot go wrong with going to either Katlynn or Joanna for a cut! I go to both of them (pending schedules) and have always been so pleased! They are experts in their craft. Really tempted to color my hair soon but haven’t gone that route yet but I’ve seen their work and it’s admirable. So glad I found this salon when moving to Antioch!

This place has the best atmosphere, products, and team! Jessica so informative once I told her it was my first time ever getting a facial. Jessica is so detailed and explains every step of the facial process. Now, After getting a second facial done with her I am officially hooked !
I also had an amazing experience with her getting my eyebrows waxed. The wax that is used is amazing! Didn’t leave any redness after. I was shocked how less painful it was.

I have also been there with Johana to get my hair done. She was also amazing!

I would recommend anyone who is looking for a new salon & spa!

This place is the real deal!

I’ve gone in multiple times. Pedicure, eyebrow waxing, hair cut and color. I’ve never had a bad experience and liked all the stylists. It’s a cute, quaint, and quiet shop. Also has great gifts for yourself or a girlfriend in the front store.

I really liked the pedicure; I got the signature one with everything included and I like the fact they don’t have massage chairs, I’m not a fan of them. It was a great and quiet experience, only 2 chairs BUT I had the room to myself! Loved that!
