Pascal Pour Elle

It’s about time that I reviewed this salon. It is well worth the trip and well worth the price. First, Amanda does my color and it is perfection every time. She is a truly caring person and always listens to me
Jean Michele does my cut and he is the only person who has ever cut my hair the way I love it.
Irena/​Misha does my fingers and toes and knows that I am incredibly ticklish. My feet are always perfect and fingers always cute
Lastly, the entire staff knows me, my daughter and my grandchildren. Even my 3 year old granddaughter gets pampered by the staff. They are friendly and warm

Had a baptism and had an updo done by Marci. It turned out amazing. Marci is also very smart and so the conversation you have with her is awesome so she makes the time go by fast. Her work on the updo was incredible. I was thrilled and got so many compliments. Worth every penny. Check out the pic I posted.

I had the greatest experience at Pascal Pour Elle! I had my hair cut by Gia and she did a fantastic job. I had super long hair and decided to go with something shorter and different. She listened and really understood what I was going for. She did an AMAZING job. Best hairuct I’ve had. I definitely will be returning. I also must comment on how warm and inviting everyone working there was. I was even introduced to Pascal, the owner, which I thought was a nice gesture for a new client. I can’t wait to go back and get my color done!

So I love sharlotte for eyebrows and facials. She is a godsend! But it’s not cool that it’s 2016 and they charge a fee to pay with a credit card. Is that a joke? Not to mention they don’t let you know this is happening (they don’t give receipts) until after you get a statement. Not cool.

I’ve been getting my hair cut at Pascal Pour Elle in Glencoe for many years and I would not go anywhere else. Pascal, the owner, is accessible, he really listens and his haircuts are amazing! He is a really nice man who cares about his staff and his customers and it shows all over the beautiful salon. I recently decided to start coloring my hair. I booked with Ava. She is intuitive and very helpful and her suggestions made my hair look great! I highly recommend the salon. The people are talented, everyone is very friendly and it’s just an easy, fun experience! As an added bonus, Pascal speaks fluent French. If you want to practice your French while getting a haircut, Pascal is the stylist for you!

Sofia is my colorist here and I absolutely love her work! She is always very careful not to damage your hair and always gives great advice on what would look nice and work best given current color. She’s all around wonderful. I was her customer at the Glenview location and have now followed her to Glencoe. I live downtown so coming to the salon is definitely a hike but I wouldn’t go anywhere else. High recommend!

Terrible manicure, called and asked for manager, NEVER GOT A CALL BACK. I called back the next day and spoke to someone who said they would email me information for a free future manicure, been 7 days, no email. VERY BAD SERVICE!!!

After getting a few bad haircuts in a row I finally booked an appointment here with Pascal and my hair looked great. I finally found my go to salon in the north shore area.

Disappointed! So far I have had three stylists there all which lhave left unexpectedly. Basically have to keep starting over. Not very comforting!

I have been going to Pascal for nearly 25 years, and both him and his current staff have been nothing other then caring and professional. Pascal takes care of my children in a way that they consider him their uncle. I am extremely surprised to see some of the negative feedback, but that goes with the territory (you cannot please everyone). However, I am extremely surprised to read a bunk review that probably came from an ex-​disgruntled employee (s). I own several businesses, and employees come, go, and even come back again. A review I read is probably from a bitter person who thinks they know what they are doing, but in the long run the grass is not greener. I would think that some maturity and decency is appropriate given the fact that these same people have no idea what it takes to start and run their own business. If they had any idea, these bunk reviews would not come into play.
Pascal has both the utmost professionalism and caring personality. The service industry is an extremely tough business to both be an owner as well as an employee. I think some people should recognize that before making up lies about a business that has been around for over 3 decades. If it was that bad of a place I highly doubt it would still be around.
Grow up people.

5 STARS!!! Love this place!!! Ava Always has my color (touch-​up, hi-​lights, low-​lights) ON POINT, best colorist, has never disappointed me! (Im Very picky) After my color I go over to Gia for my haircut and blow dry, ALWAYS does a phenomenal job!

I had initially been tentative to get my hair cut upon reading some of the less-​than-​heartening reviews, but I had thought it be best to move forward regardless, because it had been so near to where we live, as well as their price being lower than many of the other higher-​rated salons.
Fortunately, I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Pascal Pour Elle that had far exceeded my expectations. My stylist had been Tony Kelly, who was attentive, friendly, and professional. Although we had not connected much past that professional degree, he had nonetheless done an extremely good job cutting my hair. It had been quite a drastic change (very long hair to very short), and he acknowledged that fully and proceeded with caution. To my surprise, he worked quickly, but this did not at all impact the final result. He appeared very experienced, and he knew full well what he was doing. Frequently he asked me before continuing, to make absolutely sure, which I really appreciated.
In the end, again, I was extraordinarily satisfied with the haircut. Apparently some others were too, as immediately afterward I was given a sum of compliments that likely flattered me a lot more than they should have. Tony was kind of enough to, since it was my first true short haircut and such a drastic change, offer to help me out on any concerns that may arise in the near future. I couldn’t be happier to hear that.
Pascal Pour Elle and my stylist, Tony Kelly, come very highly recommended!

Rude!!! Rude!!! Rude!!! Every time I call to make an appointment or show up for an appointment, i am met with rudeness. The women who answer the phone are RUDE, in a hurry and act as if I am bothering them. The women at the front desk are the same way and are probably the same people. I would get my hair done more often if it were not for the front desk «ladies».
I have the misfortune of having my hair stylist work there. That is the only reason I ever go to the Glencoe location (or any other). When she leaves I will rejoice never to have to set my foot in that unfriendly, rude, hurried place again.

I accidentally posted this in the Unilocal space for the other location. This review is for Victor at pascal in Glencoe
Victor, Victor, Victor. I cannot say enough nice thing about this man. I came in having a basic idea of what I wanted (bringing in a photo of Emma stone as per usual), and not only did Victor bring it to life, he made it better. I really did come out learning and feeling chicer and more stylish than when I walked in. What I truly loved was his honesty. He didn’t want to take my bangs so short, but did it per my insistence and never lied about his feelings. He truly took his time and have me his attention. Beyond that, he gave my grandmother a free haircut and style! He is truly a wonderful stylist and person

Rachel did a fantastic job coloring my hair today. She was so much fun to talk to during the process and had a great attitude very very attentive and just one of those people that go the extra mile for their clients. Victor cut my hair today and it came out wonderful… .best hair cut I’ve ever gotten hands down. I would recommend this place to everyone and the inside is gorgeous! Very nice ambiance :)

When I first moved to the burbs I vowed I’d always go into the city to get my hair done. Six months later I’m even happier with my stylists in da burbs. Cut, color, wax, etc… you can get it ALL done at Pascal Pour Elle.
Cut and Style:
When I called I asked who was a pro with curly hair and the receptionist said (without any hesitation) Irina. When I first met Irina I understood why she’d been recommended because she’s got some mad curls on her head. If my curls were half as fabulous as hers I’d actually wear mine curly. I briefly wondered if I should have asked for a pro who can get curly hair straight. Fortunately, Irina turned out to be a pro at just that. I’ve visited her 3 times now and am due for a 4^th visit!
Color:
decided to trust my fellow Unilocalers on this one and went with Marissa. She made me feel super comfortable after just minutes in her chair. I absolutely loved the results and within days of getting my color done received several compliments from friends, strangers, etc. Unfortunately, a few weeks later one small area in the front of my hair ended up brightening up and almost looked like I was turning grey. I rushed back to Marissa. She mentioned she was so happy I came back and fixed it immediately (at no charge). It stayed perfect until it was time to pay Marissa another visit; and she got it 100% right the 2^nd time. I have a feeling I’ll be a customer of hers for a long time.
Waxing:
Diane seems to be one of the few people at Pascals who runs on time so you may want to get there even a few minutes early for her. She’s good, fast and makes good conversation during a painless waxing process.
Hair wash:
Extra stars for one of the assistants here, Evan, who asked me in March when I’d be returning to school after spring break. Ha! He also works wonders with a hairdryer. I’m usually not a fan of being passed off to an assistant for a blowdry after a cut (Irina was running behind on this particular day), but was OK with it since Evan’s one talented dude.

I have frequented this salon for a VERY long time. When I first started going there it was top notch. Hence why i would return. However, as of late I have to say I have to be done with the place as far as a haircut is concerned. For color I do like Marissa. Charlotte is awesome for facials. But for a haircut, I have had less than desirable experiences finding a regular stylist there since my stylist left. I just think quality has been sacrificed in that dept. a bit which I find to be rather disappointing.
UPDATE: (August 2015) I decided awhile ago to give the hair cut thing one more try there, and found Marci to be fantastic. Now, combined with Kelli for color, (Marissa is no longer there) I’m a happy customer again. +1 more star.

Marissa and Kate are my dream team! Marissa is my colorist extraordinaire and Kate gives the best haircut on the Northshore. I have been going to Pascal for years and now my husband goes and so does my daughter.
The gals that work behind the desk are so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is very fancy so you feel like a queen but the warmth and friendliness of the people that work there are the thing that sets this salon apart from any other on the North Shore!

I have been going to this salon for many years with my mom. It really by far is the best salon on the north shore. Jee, my favorite stylist, really does a great job cutting my hair. A lot of stylists have trouble cutting my hair because it is long, wavy, grows very quickly, and lots of split ends can be created in a short amount of time. This is where Jee comes to the rescue. Jee has been cutting hair for fifteen years. So she has seen and worked with all types of hair. For my hair since it is so long, she does a nice job adding some layers in the front and side swept bangs.
One treatment suggestion from Jee that has worked wonders for my hair is the keratin complex treatment. This helps the hair become more relaxed, straighter and prevents a lot of the split ends that I normally get in my hair.
Whenever I get a cut or a treatment done by Jee all of my friends, family and relatives approve and are pleased. This is not always easy to do. If I can get all of them to agree, then I know I must be doing something right. The next time you are feeling the urge to try a new hairdo, Pascal Pour Elle is the way to go!!!

You will not find better trained stylists and colorists anywhere on the North Shore, period. You may get seemingly just as good of a haircut elsewhere, especially upon initially walking out of the salon, but, man, a cut from Pascal’s even grows out beautifully.
Gorgeous interior with a stained glass ceiling, dark wood floors, plush upholstery, light walls, and an open, airy feel. The salon also offers hot chocolate, a variety of coffee drinks, and water for free– but, baby, when you pay your bill you’ll know how that espresso machine got paid for.
The downsides? I miss Amanda. What a fantastic, friendly stylist that was always receptive to my ideas and willing to make suggestions when I came in all indecisive-​like. Jee does an amazing job but doesn’t have the conversational skills of the incredibly talented, warm Briton that recently left for greener pastures. Oh, and the prices just keep seeming to go up ‘n up ‘n up…
