Mario Tricoci Hair Salon & Day Spa

I paid top dollar to have my highlights touched up. The colorist did a good job, but when she was done she pointed me to a blow dryer. When I spend that kind of money, I shouldn’t have to style my own hair. That’s just cheap and wrong. I am done with Mario Tricoci.

I have been to this Mario Tricoci location a few times; it is my least favorite. Today I had an eye brow wax and it was terrible! I have spent almost a year letting my eyebrows ‘grow’ out because I like thicker eyebrows. I told the lady waxing my eyebrows, Alberta, that I didn’t want her to take anything off from my eyebrows but just to please take off the extra hairs growing that were strays. She was nice to me and told me she understood. Then I look in the mirror afterwards (in the car) and she took off hairs that were basically what took me the last year to grow :(It was so bad! After the appointment, I was inside paying and it took a few minutes and there were people around and two ladies at the check out– but once I get outside I find a piece of wax paper stuck to my hair. Nobody told me, I guess maybe nobody noticed, but I was walking around inside. Whatever, I didn’t like it. And it is not the first bad experience I have had at a Mario Tricoci spa (like a bad massage where the lady basically stroked her hands on my back without any ‘massaging’ of my muscles, and another time when I had my hair died *blonde* when I got home the back of my brown shirt was stained with *blonde*- like nobody saw me walking around with stain on the back of my shirt???)
~~I’m in search of a better place…

I had my hair done by Marisa & it was wonderful! I just got a trim, blowout & curls done & they turned out perfect. She was very sweet & my curls we’re the best I’ve had! I would definitely come back. I wish I had given her a bigger tip.

Best hair cut I’ve ever gotten! I am new to town and asked a few friends where the best place to go in town was. Everyone led me here and I couldn’t be happier! I had Michelle cut my hair. I will definitely be using this salon again and again!

I’ve always had such a wonderful experience here. I get my eyebrows done with felicity. The last time I was there felicity was off so I got Olivia and she did a wonderful job as well! I recently got make done here by Renee and she was wonderful.

Ok so 1^st I have to say Sean is amazing!!! He’s a color tech. and did a beautiful job with my long locks! On the other hand, my stylist London was horrible. She made me feel so uncomfortable! She insulted me by saying her hair was so much more amazing than mine. She tried to cut my bangs wet which is a major no-​no and then asked if I wanted to cut my own bangs WTF?! She tried to make small talk but very bitchy the whole time maybe she was pissed she couldn’t leave right at 6. I did feel bad cause she was pregnant but there’s no reason to treat ppl like that! So sorry for the 4 stars, but I will go back to Sean for my color but whatever you do… do not see London!

Just had a facial yesterday and was not impressed. I left there with my hair smothered with oil all around my hairline. Since I was going out to lunch and shopping with a friend afterwards, I was not pleased. My eyes were not completely wiped clean of whatever cream she used on me and stung my eyes for the rest of the day. For reasons I do not understand she rubbed my ears with oil as well… weird. They were greasy as well. My appointment was with Olivia. I would not recommend her, my friend seemed satisfied with her appointment.

I have been going here for about 10 years for my color and have always left happy. I originally started out seeing Julie but when she transferred I started seeing Angelina and I always love my hair once I leave the salon. I moved a few years ago and tried salons near my house and never once have been happy and always came back to Angelina having to fess up to going to see someone else. My one complaint if it would be nice to have a blow out for the price paid at no additional charge. I pay $ 100 for about an hours worth of work and have to blow dry my hair at a hideously small blow dry bar with stylists constantly walking by as the blow dry bar is right by the break room. This is a bit frustrating…
I have also had cuts done my Lindsey who does a good job and listens to what I want however I am one who never likes my hair cut and usually only like my hair cut with an amazing blow out which stylists rarely achieve.

Love the nail techs Mindy (does my no chip) and NJ (does my Mom’s no chip). My mani and pedis last and Mindy always does a great job. Especially love Mindy because she and I always have fun picking out fun colors and fun glitters to put on top.
We also love facials and massages at the spa.

I have been going to Mario Tricoci Hair Salon & Day Spa for years and have tried all of their services at least once except for hair. I’ve had my makeup professionally a couple of times by several different artists– but Laura is my favorite. She did a great job for my wedding and the wedding of my best friend– and remembers me by name each time I come in, even if it isn’t to see her.
I regularly see Alberta as an esthetician. She is excellent and friendly, and I love chatting with her each time I visit– usually once a month for my eyebrows. I believe the waxing prices are fair and comparable to other places I have gone– she just does a better job.
I also see Toni one to two times per year for massages, and she is also excellent. Another person at this location who always remembers me when I come in– even though I don’t see her as often. The massages here are more expensive than a lot of other places, but I also find the treatment here is more special– they have a spa where you can relax and enjoy yourself before and after your massage. They also offer a variety– my favorites are the signature and hot stone. I really recommend saving up for an 80 minute massage– it is really worth it.
I’ve also used their manicure/​pedicure services. While I haven’t really been disappointed, I haven’t really been impressed either. The techs are friendly, but the services are usually twice as much as other locations for about the same level of service. They do have some unique offerings here that other locations wouldn’t have, so that is an option.
I don’t believe that appointments are required, but I always make one online before I go in to the salon. They can be quite busy!

Laura is a fantastic makeup artist. I had her do the airbrush makeup for my wedding and I can’t say enough good things about her work. I had never had my makeup done professionally before and she completely made me feel comfortable by explaining what she was doing and understanding the look I was going for. I received so many compliments and you are also able to buy their makeup for touch ups for a fairly affordable price as far as high end makeup goes.

I had my first visit yesterday. I had a photo shoot at office today, and didn’t think to get hair colored until the last minute! My usual salon is closed on Mondays so I had to find someplace new. I looked at Unilocal reviews and luckily, they had an opening at Mario’s. The service was excellent! Friendly and inviting. Katie did my color and Lindsay cut my hair. It is the best it has looked in years! Love the blonde highlights in my color and plan to go back again for my next visit. I was worried that the price was going to be high considering it IS Mario, but happy to know that it is less expensive than my salon in St. Charles. Very happy… thanks Katie & Lindsay! Would highly recommend.

Andrea is the best stylist!
Had a bad customer service experience at Ulta in Naperville, IL on Aurora Ave (avoid if you can!), and I was looking for a new stylist. Found her!
Andrea was so friendly, and she knew exactly what I wanted done with my hair.
Only downside is just how pricy Mario is, but I guess you get what you pay for! :)
The front desk associate was also very friendly. A friendly atmosphere is exactly what I was looking for!

I have to say that Laura is the best make up artist! I have been going to her for a few years now and I can always count on her to make me look my best. I have gone to her before important events and my make up looked flawless! She also custom blends my foundation and powder, and the price is less than you would expect.
She is awesome and worth the price.

Love this place! I have very difficult to cut hair as it is baby fine and stick-​straight so when I get a bad cut — it shows. I alternate between three of the stylists — to keep the technique fresh and, well, maybe because I don’t like to wait — and have been very pleased with them all. Most recently, after a horrible highlighting experience at another salon (trying to save money and wrongly assuming a decent salon can’t screw up highlights), Andrea was able to give me a totally new, fresh cut that actually blended the bad spots so much that I hardly even notice them anymore. I’ve been using this location for about 10 years and will continue to be a loyal customer for many more!

I haven’t had a bad experience here.
The hair color I maintain is a several shades lighter than my natural color and hard to achieve. I have been getting my hair colored by Kammie and she is amazing! I have been to many colorists who are reputable but still managed to make my hair look orange and in my opinion, bad. Since I started seeing Kammie, I don’t even have to make suggestions, her work has always been good and she makes my hair look great! I’m very happy going to Mario to visit her!

I got a haircut this afternoon with Lindsey. This is the second time that I have gotten a haircut at Mario’s with Lindsey. She is a great hair stylist. She cut my hair beautifully and she styled it so good. It looked great when I left the store this afternoon. Unfortunately, the weather outside was humid and it fell as soon as I stepped outside practically. But I can’t wait to show off my haircut!

So I went back to this place to get a brazilian wax. From my understanding a brazilian wax is when THEY RIP EVERYTHING OFF, front and back (this is what Trim did). I go and they have a brazilian priced at $ 55. The girl asked me if I wanted everything off or to leave a landing strip (which I thought was considerate). But one I was done they charged me $ 80! They said because I got everything off it was extra! WTF?!? So if you go here, be clear with them on the price of what service you want. Idk about you ladies but a brazilian means everything to me. They need to be more clear. I won’t go back here. I will go to Trim in the city and ask for Marta instead. Don’t waste your time and MONEY here.

I have been to so many Mario’s in Illinois… Oak Brook, Woodfield, Michigan Ave, Yorktown, you get the gist :) But I actually LOVE the Geneva location. It is small enough where you feel valued as a customer, not herded in and out like cattle, but large enough to have a full array of services, and the high standards and customer service of the Tricoci brand. I am picky, and rotate stylists, but I would not trust anyone but Jordan with my color… LOVE her, you won’t regret getting your color done by her, and the prices are reasonable.
