I highly recommend a massage with Raisa. She's new to this salon and you won't regret booking a deep tissue or hot stone massage with her. In my experience, it's difficult to find a highly skilled and experienced massage therapist; Raisa is one of those rare practitioners. I've been a client for a few years and was happy to follow her to her new professional home in Highwood. A wonderful addition to what seems like a very well run business.

I would never recommend this place. At first they were great & worked with me when my grandmother died & I had to reschedule. Fast fwd 3mo. I order 6colored hair extensions for a pop of color, within THREE days of install every. Single. One. Came out, they accused me of using product that would dissolve the glue. Mind u, I use THEIR PRODUCTS BOUGHT IN THEIR STORE.

I order 6colored hair extensions for a pop of color, within THREE days of install every. Single. One. Came out, they accused me of using product that would dissolve the glue. Mind u, I use THEIR PRODUCTS BOUGHT IN THEIR STORE. Second of all, I hadn't even washed my hair!!! When I originally called only 3wxtensions had come out, by the end of the day all 6 were out. I've had a FULL head of extensions that I bought from AMAZON that lasted a million times longer. Makes u wonder where they are getting their stuff from. I then got bronchitis & when I called to re-schedule for Sadaf to put them back in they told me they wouldn't honor putting them back in @ no charge since it was over a week. I'm a nurse at a hospital who deals with sick people All day, so they wanted me to come in with bronchitis, sick as heck?! Lastly, I asked to speak to the owner- the owner wouldn't even give me the time of day nor respect to pick up the phone & settle this. Seems like all the reviews are pretty consistent with how horrible this place is. I definitely wish I would have done more research before spending so much money here. I have been a resident of Highwood for 16years & to have a business like this in our town is atrocious. Do better.

If I could give 6 stars to Blow By Blow I would! Conveniently located on the North Shore, the staff always provides professional services in a friendly and personal environment. Sadaf is a master colorist and stylist and consistently provides beautiful and natural results suited for her clients. Olga,too, is a master stylist whom I've been seeing for decades! Her eye for design and detail are unmatched and her cuts and styling are precise and personalized. The salon itself is large,sunlit,lovely and pristine. The entire staff provides an excellent service keeping their clients beautifully on trend and pleased.

My favorite place to go!!Wonderful & consistent service. Everyone here is so accommodating and listens to exactly what you want. They provide useful guidance if you’re debating between a certain style or color, and they are so kind!! Seriously the best place to go on the NorthShore for cut, color, waxes, and everything else!!!

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. RUN. Do not go here unless you want your hair to fall out. I have been getting my hair colored since the 6th grade, I am now in my mid 20's. I have never had an issue until I moved to Chicago and decided to get highlights at Blow by Blow salon. THEY OVER PROCESSED MY HAIR WHICH IS NOW FALLING OUT AND BREAKING ALL OVER MY HEAD. This business would not do anything about it. My hair is a huge mess. Please do not go here especially for highlights, it is likely that they will over process your hair. Oh, and they do not care at all and will not do anything to make it right. Oh, and after paying $200 for a cut and color they will charge you $40 to blow dry it. LOL. do not go here.

I have been going to Olga for almost twenty years, following her from one salon to her own salon Blow by Blow. She has the best instincts and talent of any stylist I've ever gone to. She's meticulous, precise, and as daring or conservative as you want her to be! I've never gotten a bad haircut; she is also fun and engaging, making the cuts so enjoyable. She's the best! I've also had some color treatments with Sadaf and have been very happy with the process and results. You can't go wrong with either of them!!

Kaitlyn makeup. Literally the best I have ever had! Her look was so beautiful and fresh for me. Perfect smokey eye for a black tie wedding.

Don’t waste your time! They literally just curl your hair and that’s it and the curls fall out 30 mins later. Not worth the $40. There’s plenty of other actual blowout bars that will give you quality work.

This place has really went downhill in the last couple of months. My usual stylist was no longer there so they scheduled me with someone else. I could tell once she started shampooing that this was going to be bad. We sat down and I told her I usually get a smooth blow out. She did not want to round brush my hair and said it made more sense to paddle brush dry it and use a flat iron. I said I was open to her suggestion as long as we got to the end result. She started by loadi
