Indira Salon and Spa

When finding a place to get a haircut can be pretty tricky, Everyone has a friend. When I was recommended to this salon I did know anything. But when Brigette contacted me and got the ball rolling. I could never look back. From the front staff to Todd the hairstylist everything was on point. Todd the hairstylist recommended things that just worked so well for my kind of hair and style. The place has such a great vibe and everyone interacts with each other so well. Please give them a chance to do wonders with your hair.

Indira Salon Spa is a beautiful, cozy, and welcoming business located in the heart of Park Ridge. The team have a true passion for what they do, and perform all Aveda Hair, Skin, Body and Makeup Services. Highly Recommend!

My bangs were previously cut bad here, but I decided to give someone else the chance to fix it up. Todd took my hair on and blew me away! He listened to my hair goals and did an amazing job! Thanks Todd! I wish you worked at this location full time! I will be sure to be back and see you for my next hair cut! Thank you for taking care of me :)

5 stars for Carly and her personality she’s great and an asset to your company.
Now, I came in today while my father was getting a facial. To kill time I asked if they had a manicure open. They said they did. To my surprise I was greeted by Carly who was very sweet and personable. As she started to do my nails I could see that she probably wasn’t a nail tech. Kinda was nervous but her personality won me over. Come to find out she’s a stylist at the salon. Ive never had a hair stylist do my nails. Which is not her fault I’m assuming the salon makes their stylists perform manicures. I could tell that I wasn’t gonna be done before my dads facial so I opted out of getting my nails painted because I just didn’t have the time. Plus it was a pretty basic manicure.
Now the kicker… it was $ 40!!!
I was completely taken back.
AGAIN THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CARLY.
But I was completely robbed and I’m 100% disappointed.

This salon was fabulous! Many of the bad reviews were posted 2 – 5 years ago, so I suggest trying them again.
I had my haircut by Carly and she was tremendous. She was friendly and did a great job cutting my hair! She was very knowledgable about products without forcing me to buy anything (though it helps that I own many Aveda products to begin with). The person I booked the appointment with was wonderful (I didn’t catch her name), and Stephanie was working reception on the day of my appointment. She, too, was friendly, bubbly, and gave me good tips about makeup when I asked.
I’ve been to several Aveda salons and this one was one of the nicest (as far as retail space and hair salon area). I can’t vouch for any of the other services but I was impressed with my service.

Having read all the reviews on here I am amazed at the negative ones. I have had a facial every month for 22 years. Looking for a new provider I tried this place. As good as any of the best places I have gone to, in many regards much better. Megan was wonderful. The facial great, I will definitely return. I also puchased some make up, some I like some I am so so on. All of it was ½ the price of what I am comparing it to. This is a great find.

Having lived here only a couple of years I’ve yet to find a salon that I can consistantly go to. Traditionally in VA, CA, etc. I’ve gone to Aveda Salons and loved them. I tried Indira when I moved here, and never went back. Did not feel it had the same level of service as other Aveda Salons I’ve been to. The stylist talked to each other the entire time, none of the usual Aveda nice touches and my haircut did not look or feel as good as in the past at other Aveda Salons. I shared my concerns and never received any follow up, which is a shame, as perhaps it was just te day, but I’m not willing to invest the money to roll the dice again.

Have been to Indira twice and looking forward to going again. Had two fantastic massages with Arielle and the $ 39 facial with Tricia. I certainly left blissed out. Arielle is a talented young masseuse with strong hands and a gentle demeanor. The bed is heated and everyone there is eager to please and make sure your experience is as good as it can be. They solely use Aveda products and have never pressured me to purchase. I had never had an Aveda facial before and my skin looked great for days. Don’t hesitate to visit their spa!

Had a massage by Arielle and absolutely loved it! Very relaxing from the moment I walked in
I usually go to spas downtown Chicago and was really surprised because this salon exceeded my expectations.
Definitely found my new massage therapist and favorite salon!

I had a massage here couple days ago it was a very relaxing place. My only concern is they can’t let you stay for atleast 10mins after they massage you, you need to get out of the room right away. They don’t even have a body wrap coz there place was too small.

I had a great experience today at the Indira Salon. It was my first time having a facial done here and everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Amanda was the one who did my facial. She did an amazing job and was very nice! She made it a wonderful and comfortable experience and was very knowledgable! I loved the facial so much I bought another deal to have another facial done here next month. I recommend this to anyone and it’s a good way to learn about your skin type.

I have have been to the spa several times now and I really like it. Amanda is excellent. I have seen her for facials and waxing. My face looked awesome afterwards and the waxing did not hurt at all! She is a pro! I also had a manicure by Leah. She did an excellent job. I liked the extra message and mask for the hands.

I went here a second time because I had such a great experience the first time around. Unfortunately, my second visit was extremely unsatisfactory. I made an appointment for a haircut and what I thought started off as a good consultation ended up turning into such a disappointing experience. The stylist said they didn’t think that they could «take off ‘that’ much» and advised me to keep my hair longer than I wanted it. It wasn’t like I was asking for a difficult cut either. I wanted no more than two inches cut off (it was a little bit below my collarbone). I wanted to get rid of shabby layers and replace it with a simpler, sleeker bob style with less layers– and yet was told «you should keep it longer, keep your layers, you just need a trim, I’m only going to take off a little from the ends.» I couldn’t believe it. I proceeded to explain that I was ready for a fresh look and really wanted my hair cut not trimmed but was again met with disregard and even refusal for what I was asking for. I got the impression that I was talking to an inexperienced stylist immediately. I even mentioned again midway through the haircut that I really wanted to take it up another inch but the stylist didn’t even acknowledge my request! I was literally ignored and almost wanted to laugh out loud at the sheer lack of decency. Ultimately, I overpaid to get my split ends trimmed by a «stylist» who gave horrible customer service whether they knew it or not (probably not). I realized I couldn’t wait to get out of there– not to mention, it was evident they didn’t know how to use a hairdryer either as they kept it on my neck for way too long and almost burned me. What a waste of time! Don’t go here if you expect well-​trained staff giving high quality customer service in inviting, professional atmosphere. …No wonder I was literally the ONLY customer in the salon.

I had a wonderful experience at Indira. I had a facial done by Megan and she was absolutely divine Very well trained. The experience was relaxing and wanting me to come back again. I already made my next appointment.. I went in with a Group on and they offered me my next visit with the same offer I paid on my Group on. What a fantastic concept!!! Have been telling my friends and family about the service. Staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Very punctual so don’t come in late. Don’t forget to ask for Megan you will thank me later.
Maggie

Stephanie is the best hairstylist and colorist here, the place is expensive but most aveda salons are. The facility is clean.

I was having problems with my skin in multiple ways including having adult acne. I was frustrated and directed to Indira to get a facial with Meghan because she was the new esthetician on staff. I can not tell you enough about my amazing experience AND new skin! It was the best facial I have ever received! After the facial she introduce me to a lotion that has changed my skin forever. My acne has cleared up and look years younger. Worth the money and time times ten. She is amazing!! I know there are a lot of options of places to go but take my word for it and go see Meghan at Indira, your skin will thank you!!!

I had a facial this morning with Amanda — I have to say it was the best facial i’ve ever had. she did such a nice job, lovely massage on neck, hands and feet and lovely treatments and smells for my face. I will definitely go back

This salon is terrible. The colorists are all junior and have no clue what they are doing. For the amount of money you pay to get your hair done, you would think one of them would know what they are doing.
Also, the scheduling service is terrible. They have no clue what your prior appointment was or who it was with. They literally have zero idea what to do or how to help you. The people that work at the salon are just as bad.
I would spend your money elsewhere if you actually care about your hair.

I received a gift certificate in January 2012 for services. I have been unable to get an appointment for 7 weeks. They are demanding a credit card to secure an appointment and I don’t have one to give. We were the victims of identity theft and we do not use credit cards any longer.
The gift certificate is for $ 200. I am unable to get an appointment or a refund. I spoke to the Owner Michael Nass and he was not willing to help.

I always have a great experience here!
As a client with high standards of service, I look forward to the reception and service I receive here.
Some of the fabulous pluses:
–It is beautiful
–Staff are friendly both with clients and each other
–Aveda products are where its at
I’ve done waxing, massage, facials, color, and cut and have always left 100% satisfied and relaxed.
Complementary hand massages, make up application, and scalp massage? Yes. Please!
Couple of mentionables (lapologies for mispellings!):
Anne-​NICE as the day is long and very accommodating to her clients, she’s got a great way of relaxing a client all the while making them laugh!
Very talented!
Donelle: The Über-​Talented Mama Cat of the salon, always busy and it’s because she’s rocking with skills! Super chill personality and very pleasant to be around! Not afraid to challenge a comfort level, which I definitely appreciate!
Jess– Super fun, very cool, and down to earth. My husband had a hair cut with her and she was nice enough to mention to me how much fun she had! Obvious this girl enjoys her work!
Francis: Very chill, very quick, very great at the front desk. She will hook you up in a matter of moments upon entering. Always a joy to talk to!
This is where I send the people I love.
It is a lifestyle place. If you are quick with a negative comment, I doubt it’s the place for you. However for me, a hardworking, fun loving, laid back professional, it is the place to be! Take a look around, ask about their promotions, and treat yourself… you won’t be disappointed!
