Daybreak Salon and Day Spa

When I could not handle my dry, damaged, blah hair, so I booked an appointment at this salon. I had an eyebrow wax, and the estician was great and very professional. I have sensitive skin, and the wax did not hurt, and there was minimal redness afterwards. I had a color/​cut with Nikki and she is AMAZING! She is very friendly and personable and fixed my hair! She also gave me a coupon for the next time I come in, and I can’t wait! She also recommended products that have been working wonders on my hair. Nikki is a very talented and professional hair dresser! The salon is very clean and organized as well!

I got a hair cut and a color, and I am very happy with the result! Jesse did a great job! She understands what you want, and is very talented. They use high quality products such as Aveda and Kerastase… my hair had never looked this shiny and strong!

I went in for a 430 appointment and sat there til 445 waiting to be seen. All I was getting done was a wash and flat iron. The woman asked if I wanted it stick straight or some curl. I said stick straight and smooth. I walked out with frizzy hair that had random kinks in it. I don’t think I would go back but if I did I would try a different person. I now have to restraighten my hair after paying money to have it done.

I got my hair cut and had high/​lowlights put in, and am very happy with the results. Jessie (owner) did my hair, and I would definitely highly recommend her, and I’m one of the most picky persons there is when it comes to having my hair cut. Have been thru several stylists over the years. Jessie was just great.

I had my hIr colored here. They «burnt» my hair. I won’t be returning. I previously gave it high marks. But the lack of care exhibited by my hair dresser forced me to look for a new salon.

I have been going to Meghan for 7 years (since she was working at Ritual Salon, the previous salon that occupied this same space) and will never go to anyone else. I was not a fan of the front desk staff at Ritual. In fact, calling to make an appointment was a huge hassle — they were rude and seemed annoyed every time I called. But, Meghan is amazing so I just decided to deal with it. I am so pleased to say that this front desk staff is NOTHING like the Ritual front desk staff, they are so nice and friendly.
Even if the front desk staff wasn’t as fantastic as they are, I’d still give this place five stars because OHMYLAWD Meghan is the best. My hair is beyond unruly, and Meghan always makes it look perfect. Sometimes I will go in with an idea of what I want, and sometimes I will tell her to do whatever she wants, and no matter what, it looks great. She also has no problem telling me if something wouldn’t look good on my face or with my hair texture, which is so important in a stylist. I recently moved across the country and still am not willing to find a new salon. I am going back to Chicago for Christmas and immediately after booking my airfare, I called to make my appointment with Meghan. That’s how great she is. I’ve never gone to any of the other stylists but they all seem (almost as) fantastic as Meghan. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Daybreak Salon offered a 50% off promotion of their facials, so I thought I would treat myself and have one, which ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I met with Tatyana at the front desk, where she took me back to the spa, which was lit by candle light and had soft, soothing music playing. She gave me a soft wrap to put on and asked me to take off all my jewelry. When she re-​entered the room, she explained what she was going to do and truthfully the next 60 minutes where total luxury From the scents of her product, the lessons she taught me and the massage, I was in heaven. Today is two days since my facial. My skin is still glowing and I did not get the break outs that I sometimes get from facials. I can not wait to get my next facial with Tatyana and I would highly recommend that you go and see for yourself.

The main reason I’m giving a good review is because I love my hair stylist. She recently relocated to Daybreak, which is the reason I go there. Many of the stylists from the now-​closed Ritual Salon are now at Daybreak. I can understand some of the negative reviews. The ambiance and environment of the salon is very plain. It could use some updating. However, being that getting a good haircut is important to me, I would recommend this salon.

I have been to many salons in time and I will say from the minute I walked into this salon I was welcomed with the most professional attitudes, and it was the best expierence I have had in a long time. I used to do hair for a living, and a lot of salons have very rude people that only care about making a sale, the ladies at Daybreak care about how you feel and look. Not to mention the place is so clean on the inside, plus there aren’t a lot of salons that carry Aveda this one does, I was also introduced to a new product line called Kerastase, all I can say is HEAVEN! I don’t want to drag on here you all get the point it was a great salon, I highly recommend to check it out, I will make sure all my friends know about DayBreak;)

Sad. Supposedly an Aveda salon but after my third visit, it just doesn’t have the feel. The colors, the ambiance, etc. Not enough chairs for color. I was seated waiting for my colorist to come out and another employee asked me to move to chairs across from the coloring area. My colorist was coming by the time I stood up but so as not to make a scene (I wasn’t sure if I was in that colorist’s designated chair; which it wasn’t). So I was placed in an area in which it was difficult for my colorist to set up. Someone (I think it was the owner) offered her a rolling tray to put the color on but the setup was awkward. So of course the worst happened, a splash on my pants. I hope my colorist moves again so I can follow. Meanwhile, I might go back to one of the other Aveda salons.

I don’t usually post reviews but I just had to for Daybreak Salon! I visited Daybreak, a new salon in Lake Zurich, after a friend suggested I check them out. I went for a color and cut. When I walked in I was greeted with smiling faces. Jessie, the owner took care of me personally. I was looking for a change and she made some great suggestions! I walked out of there with a great new look and a new salon to call home. Thank you Daybreak!
