Best

We had a wonderful time! The room was great. It was really easy to book, and everyone was really nice. The bed was ridiculously comfy! Kitchen was easy to access.

My first visit at the Ruby Room was yesterday (Sunday) around 1pm. There were two people working the retail end of the business, one young man, one young woman. In general, the ...

Wonderful, Healing Yoga Class 12/18/2007

I've visited the Ruby Room twice in the past month and have very much enjoyed both experiences. The first was for an enersage (energy massage). The practitioner was patient and listened to my reasons for the massage and made some great suggestions on how to help some of my health issues. I also have taken advantage of the $20 first timers, one week unlimited yoga class. The Dynamic Realignment Yoga with Tina is my favorite yoga class so far in Chicago. I look forward to the other classes this week and doing more energy work there. It's sad to see so many other negative reviews on this site. I felt an amazing positive energy the first time I walked in the door. The prices are reasonable for the city and I like the variety of energy/eastern medicine products they have available. more

We enjoyed our stay 11/29/2007

My time spent at Ruby Room was relaxing. It's very quiet and I slept better than I have in months. The bed was just comfortable as can be. The housekeeping staff was also very pleasant. We would go back when in Chicago. more

RYAN IS A ROCKSTAR 10/29/2007

This place is great, and staff is very friendly. I cant see why there are bad reviews on the salon. I came in for some soft caramel highlights and who would have know....walked out with what i asked for:) Ryan is such a sweet guy and really took time with me and listened to what I had to say. He gave a great shampoo and I was so relaxed. Just an hour before I was a little down:( and having a fun person to talk with who also made me look BEAUTIFUL really helped. So for all you UNHAPPY people who need to complain about places because you yourself are unhappy......GET OVER IT! Pros: street parking, great people & products, beautiful color Cons: none at this time more

Thank you R.R. for telling me Charles' is at Joseph Michael's 10/17/2007

Charles, who was my Ruby Room stylist left last Aug. Since then I have had a difficult time finding someone at his caliber. He is out standing with color like no one else I have ever had, that would include some of New York and L.A's finest salons. I was worried he went back to Beverly Hills but I thought I would call Ruby Room one more time and beg if needed. I had tried without luck twice before but three times was the charm. The very sweet receptionist informed me he is now at Joseph Michael's at 715 North State St. (312 482 9800). When I called Joseph Michael's they confirmed he was there and even said they would extend his prices from R.R. Thank you R.R. for owning up Charles new salon! more

Not terribly welcoming 9/19/2007

I had read all the reviews prior to my first visit to the Ruby Room but went in with an open mind, really wanting to have a good experience. My favorite stylist with another salon had moved out of state so I was looking for a new one and thought I'd try a different salon. The Ruby Room website advises to arrive 10 minutes early so I did just that, only to have the receptionist inform me I was "a bit early" for my appointment as though she were disappointed in my time-management skills. She suggested I either browse the shop (no one informed there is a second level where the books, etc are located so I was stuck with the 10 feet or so of cosmetics to browse, all the while having 3 employees watch me) or, get this - go to Starbucks and wait. GO TO STARBUCKS AND WAIT? WHAT? So much for feeling welcome. When I asked if there was a waiting area she rolled her eyes and said, "Um, no". At my previous salon they offer you a seat and a choice of two hot teas or ice water while you wait, and you're provided a hand and arm massage during your visit. With exception of getting my brakes done at Midas, I've NEVER been told to wait somewhere else. The stylist was very personable, however after a brief consultation I was taken immediately to the sink where my hair was barely washed. As my hair was being cut, another client sat down in the chair next to me and her stylist gave her a 5 minute head and scalp massage prior to washing her hair. I watched with slight envy, wondering why I didn't receive the same treatment. When my haircut was finished, a mirror was not offered, so I didn't actually see much of my cut until I got home. I ended up trimming several sections that were cut oddly. I won't be going back to Ruby Room and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else either. Such a disappointment. ALSO NOTE THEY REQUIRE A CREDIT CARD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL AT LEAST 4 HOURS PRIOR YOUR CARD IS CHARGED FOR THE FULL AMOUNT. Pros: Great location, stylist was personable Cons: Unwelcoming, inconsistent service more

some bad vibes here, be aware 9/5/2007

I went to Ruby Room for a gong bath recently. There was a $35 charge and we were packed in there super tight. I kept poking the woman next to me when I adjusted my position. You'd think that for $35 we would get enough space to roll over. Also my friend got moved away from the gong by staff who apparently had some VIP's who needed his spot. He later commented that this made him mad. The guy that was collecting our fee that night had the charm and demeanor of a nightclub doorman. He was not exactly rude but was unfriendly and lacked the aura of good vibes one would expect in such a place. The woman who sold me CD's afterward was friendly, helpful and not pushy. The gong bath was transformative and I am still processing its effects three days later. If you can go, go. But be prepared to be crowded if it's at Ruby Room! The message this sent to me was 'money matters', not a very transcendant vibe! So you may have to bring your own! more

Great color, cut and service! 7/13/2007

I recently moved to Chicago and needed someone to work with my long curly hair. I went in for color and Charles immediately put me at ease, so much so that I stayed to get my haircut. He listened very carefully to my needs (and worries) and gave me great color and a great haircut. He also gave me some recommendations on styling products, which are making my curls much more manageable. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Pros: Had great service more
