Salon Artistix 2420 Johnsburg Road, Johnsburg, IL 60051

"I discovered this salon after I saw a Facebook advertisement and I wanted to try something new. Coming to Salon Artistix was a mistake. My hair looked horrible after my visit here. I showed the stylist, Angela, a picture of what I wanted. She made some suggestions and said that my hair would look just like the picture. She stated that it might take a few visits to get all the color, but it was unclear what would happen with my hair during this first appointment. In the beginning, she brushed my hair harshly from roots to ends, painfully ripping through the tangles. She also pulled my ear with the hairbrush. When I asked her to be careful, she just said "ok" and did not apologize. She dyed my hair (which I agreed to) and added partial highlights on the top 2 inches of my hair. I kept asking questions about what my hair would look like, and Angela kept saying "it will be just like the picture, you'll like it." When it was finished, the top of my head was a beautiful reddish-gold hue, while the hair below my ears was ash brown. When I expressed that I wasn't happy with the bottom color, Angela said that it would be a process that required multiple appointments to get the dimensions correct. If she had ran the highlight throughout the entire length of my hair from root to tip, I would have ended up with a nice color. Instead, the color looks unbalanced. Additionally, I requested a haircut with layers. They were crooked and blunt (according to my regular stylist who I visited the next day). My hair also seemed thinner. I ended up with a completely different outcome than what I asked for. I was unhappy with my color, and instead of offering to fix it right away, Angela said I would need to come back later. I did not feel taken care of as a customer. I will never return to this salon."

"I absolutely love this salon, and Sue Sayles is absolutely fantastic! She has shown me how to work with my curly hair and she’s very thorough and knowledgeable. She is a great stylist who makes her clients feel at home."

"Sue gave me my first "curly haircut" ever last summer. She turned my frizzy, wavy hair into the perfect curly hair style! She could see the potential in my hair and completely changed my relationship with my hair. I now love my hair! Then, reality hit. I went to a different "curly hair stylist" in my hometown of Boulder, CO. My haircut was terrible and pricy. I will have to wear my hair straight until I get back to IL this summer and can have Sue cut my hair again. Sue is a curly hair girl's GEM!"

"Highly recommend Sue and the entire staff! They are amazing at cuts, color, highlights, and styling. Been going here for years and do not trust anyone else with my hair!"

"Angela Vallone at Salon Artistix is excellent! I've been going to her for the past 7 years now, which is longest relationship I've ever had with a hair stylist. Specializing in hair color, she nails it every time."
