Salon Moka

So I went back again for some waxing... it was wonderful. The same girl Erin took care of me and I left feeling like a movie star. She reshaped my eyebrows to flatter my features and I can't stop looking at them in the mirror now. Incredible! more

I moved to Chicago less than 2 years ago, leaving a fantastic stylist in California. I had tried several salons in Chicago, only to be disappointed time and time again. I could not believe that all of these "cutting edge" salons were using techniques from 15 years ago. It was if they failed to learn anything new after beauty college. Then I found Moka. Moka is great and is one of the best best stylists I have ever had! He is also very customer oriented and wants to make sure you have a great experience. Also, the salon is steps from the blue line at Division. So to sum it up: fantastic hair, supeb service and convenient location!! more

My friend recommended me to get a hair cut from Masa, and he was amazing! i got so many complements from EVERYONE (including at the facebook) about my new stylish hair by him. Masa's work was very efficient and careful, and because of his great technique, after care is amazingly easy. Since I left Tokyo where there are so many great hair salons, I didn't meet any better hair stylists until I met Masa. The price is pretty reasonable, too. I used to use the salon A&S but Moka is away better than them! I wish I knew this place before I moved to VA... but I will come to Moka every time when I come back to Chicago!! Pros: close to the CTA, great hair cut technique, nice service more

I followed my stylist, Kelly, from a different salon and it was well worth it. The salon is in the heart of Wicker Park, and the staff is very down to earth and super friendly. Kelly is awesome, the best stylist I have been to in this city. She has a great talent, gives perfect advise, yet totally respects your boundaries on what YOU want to do with YOUR hair (which, let's be honest, is not easy to come by!). Try it out, you won't regret it! Pros: Small salon, don't need to book appointment a month in advance Cons: Cannot think of any, other than it is sort of far from my apartment :) more

While I really enjoy the salon and the staff, who are friendly and nice, I am writing about my stylist Kelly. She is just amazing and so, so talented. The first time I went to her at the other salon she was working, I really didn't have an idea of what I wanted, just something to make my hair less boring. She ran with it and gave me the best haircut of my life. So impressive was it, that my friend started going to her almost immediately. I have followed her to Salon Moka and am still so amazed. Last night, I went to her, and once again, loved my hair! This morning already, I have been complimented twice for my hair. She is great, she listens and then comes up with ideas before picking up her shears. So if you want a great cut, or even just trim with someone whom you can trust to do a great job, then Kelly is your woman. I am nervous to proclaim her talents to the world, as I know that once she catches on, I will never get an appointment! Pros: Walking distance to the Division Blue line stop more

I have to say going in I did not know what to expect but coming out, I will be a loyal customer! I had the massage and facial for $99...........what fantastic value first off! The facial was so relaxing and i love Bioelements. E'ya was UNBELIEVABLE! It was the best massage I have ever had, she even went as far as paying my meter so I wouldnt worry about it while I had the massage. (So sweet). She was thorough and wonderful. I am going back next week! It is a small shop and the owner was lovely. I went in broken and E'ya fixed me with her hands and soul. LOVED IT! more

The massage by E'ya was phenominal. She knows her thing. I did the two services for $99 and opted for a facial for the second service. Let me say that the facial was equally as awesome. My skin felt clean and completely clear. I'd go back in a minute. more
