Marek Ashley Salon in Wheaton, IL

Marie was very friendly and very knowledgeable and talented with my very thin straight hair. She made me feel very comfortable and confident in my hair style. Joey did my make up. She did a great job. I don't normally wear makeup so she honored my request to enhance my look without over doing. Everyone was very friendly and professional. It is not cheap but professionalism cost a pretty penny I guess.

A truly amazing place where you are not only cared for, but also cared about. Stunning surroundings, down to Earth staff- with hearts of gold. Masters of their craft, yielding beautiful results each and every time. Will never go to another salon .

Horrible service. And they take reviews down! So unfortunate and sad but true! My wife went there a few weeks ago and made a good review even though $400 later it was nothing she asked for..

I went in 9/15 for a full highlight. It states $110 on the booking website that I booked through and in the end I was charged $192. Caught off guard with the price swap and since I had already been there for 3.5 hours, I didn't ask or want to make a scene. The itemized receipt says $35 for glaze, when booking on the website the details it says glaze is included. It also was never disclosed during the service that I would be charged additional for the color bowls either. This is more expensive and DOUBLE the time of a senior stylist the city. I have reached out to this company privately through both their Facebook and instagram. Several messages were read and went unanswered. Going forward, I would not recommend this business, not because of the services I received but the hidden fees of which they are not upfront about prior to services or while in the chair. I have included snapshots of what their booking website reads. It was my naivety, that I believed the cost of glaze which is "required to achieve desired tone" would be included in the service fee. The separate cost is not stated anywhere on their website. Sneaky sneaky I should add that I have no problem paying for a great service and I believed the lower price was due to the extended time needed. Time is valuable when you're a toddler mom. It is the bait and switch that bothers me and when I reached out my questions went ignored.

Before going to Marek Ashley I tried multiple high end salons (like 6 or 7) resulting in disappointment. I have short hair and either my hair was left too long after a cut or so short it looked like I had just been released from a concentration camp. I gave each salon several tries before I moved on. In researching salons via reviews, I found that Marek Ashley had very strong, positive reviews. So I decided to give it a try. I actually went in person to make the initial appointment. The very pleasant and obviously knowledgeable receptionist recommended Josephine telling me Josephine was a short hair expert. Boy, was she ever right! A week later after the first appointment with Josephine, I had the best cut of at least 30 years. I have now been there two additional times and Josephine is amazing. She's explained that a good short hair cut is about the proper shape. So right! Now, when it's time for the next cut, my hair still looks good because of the great shape she's created. She doesn't just cut hair, she's an artist! If you have short hair, I give Josephine the highest recommendation. She's pleasant, kind and amazingly talented! Feel extremely fortunate to have found her
