I hate to start this on a negative note, but nonetheless, Joseph Michael's is terribly over priced, and ridiculously OVER RATED. Do not trust these people, prices have a tendency to change, the stylists are sitting on a pedestal and will mangle your hair with their dangly arms. The manicurist must have Parkinson?s, because they can not draw a straight line to save their lives, the spa was okay, if it wasn't for the constant complaining of the persons life, the Massage was, non existent as the person was complaining about how much their arms hurt. DO NOT GO TO JOSEPH MICHAEL'S UNLESS YOU ARE REDICULOUSLY RICH AND WANT TO THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON LESS THAN ACCEPTABLE SERVICE.
Pros: absolutely NONE
Cons: The Price, The Parking, The Staff, The terrible service

I have been a client of Patrick for over 19 years. In that time, I have NEVER had a bad haircut or color. He LISTENS!!! He will do what you want....IF you want his opinion, he will give it...telling you what he thinks would look best on you and what your hair can and can't do. He is a genuine good guy, consistently excellent, thoughtful and always on time. He is outstanding personally and professionally. I will miss him terribly.
Pros: Best haircuts of my life

If you have difficult hair, Patrick is the stylist for you! He's worked with me for over 21 years. I began losing my hair in my early 30's to my great distress. He always knew how to style and recommend the best products for my thinning hair. He made my difficult situation better and I truly appreciated him all these years. I was horrified to learn that he was relocating to Arizona but happy for the opportunity that it created for him. If you are in the Arizona area and looking to see what his customer base in Chicago thought of him, be reassured. He's really knows what he is doing and will help you. Most importantly he will work with you so that you don't end up going home with something you can't manage!!!! Our loss in Chicago, your gain in Arizona.
Pros: He knows how to work with difficult hair!

Why would I go anywhere else when this Spa just treats me right and leaves me gorgeous? Love coming here ever since I first got my highlights here.

I've been going to Patrick to have my hair cut for years. I was referred to him by a friend who raved about his abilities. He is a friendly, professional individual who listens to what you want rather than imposing on you what he wants. That is key for me.
My most recent experience has been the best. After years of watching my hair turn grey I started thinking about coloring it. I talked with Patrick who gave me the facts - he did not push me either way. I was a bit nervous about it so we had several conversations over a period of months. Finally, I decided to take the plunge. I'm so happy that I did! First, all my grey is gone. My husband, family, friends, co-workers all have had the same reaction: 1) it looks fabulous, very natural, has taken 10 years off of me; 2) whoever did it, did a fantastic job and you need to keep him!
Patrick is moving to Arizona to start his own business and people have gone so far as suggesting I might want to fly out there to have him continue to do my hair. Let's just say I'm thinking about it....
Sincerely, it has been a joy working with Patrick. Whoever is lucky enough to work with him in Arizona, I'll be envious of you!
Pros: Trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, experienced
Cons: none

Nicole Ciesla is the premiere esthetician in the city. Facing acne problems, I first sought the advice of "expert" dermatologists, but to no avail. The doctors I saw put me on every medication offered, but the acne just got worse. Next, I searched high and low for knowledgeable estheticians that were at the forefront of the industry's latest techniques and products in my hometown of Milwaukee, WI. Unfortunately, I found the estheticians in my area lacked the cutting edge knowledge to help with my problems. Finally, I located Joseph Michael's Salon and Spa in downtown Chicago. This is where my acne problems were finally fixed.
I have been seeing Nicole once a month for about 9 months and the results speak for themselves. Unlike other estheticians I have seen, Nicole cares as much about my facial problems as I do. She listens to my concerns and then utilizes the latest techniques and premiere product lines to help with my acne. Whether you are looking for solutions to acne problems or minimizing aging, Nicole, by far, is the best. You are wasting your time and money going anywhere else. I can say this boldly because I am willing to drive 2 hours just to see her.
Pros: Top of the Line Facials

During a recent and brief trip to Chicago a few weeks ago, a friend and myself had selected this salon to have our hair cut as it had been long overdue for both of us.
I had thick long dark hair which I had my reservations and fear about cutting but after having the accidental fortune of having Vesna cut my hair, I was so happy with the results!
After describing to her about what I was going for along with how I would like it to be styled, boy did Vesna deliver! She trimmed, gave my hair form, and did so without compromising on the length - something I was a little concerned about initially!
Another thing I deeply appreciated during my session with Vesna was she concentrated on what she was doing and she never forced conversation. I also was grateful that she took the time to painstakingly curl each lock with the curling iron :) She gave a lot of attention to detail and I cannot stress this enough - but amazing results! I hope to be able to emulate her technique when it comes to styling my hair but even so, the results were impeccable!
My friend's hairstylist also did a great job, too! In short, Chicago and JMS are very lucky to have such talented stylists. Both I and my friend were relieved to have chosen JMS and recieved satisfactory results - we would definitely come back here again in future trips to Chicago and would highly recommend Vesna and the others at JMS with high esteem! Thank you so much again, Vesna!
Pros: Quality, Timely, Patience, Sincerity, Amazing Results!
Cons: none

I have bounced around several salons in the Chicago area, and have never become attached to any particular stylist. I just couldn't find someone who could translate my ideas into a reality. Enter Ashley. She took the time to listen to what I really wanted. After a thorough consultation, she crafted the perfect color for my skin tone and gave me the cutest bangs! I have since returned to Ashley for some subtle summer highlights. Again, her work was spot on!
Pros: Top notch service without the attitude.
Cons: None

I moved here 2 years ago from Miami and have been struggling to find a good Brazilian wax ever since. Renata at Joseph Michael's is simply amazing. I have been to several places in the city (and the nation) and she is by far the best wax-er I have ever experienced. My wax was literally 50% less painful than any other wax I have ever received. She was professional and friendly and did a very good job. I can't say enough!
Pros: Extremely clean, professional, friendly
Cons: Not really a con but the price is the average charged
