Mena's Hair Design 1649 Montgomery Road, Aurora, IL 60504

"I usually go one a month and get a rinse. This last time permanent color. Always turns out beautiful. Stylist friendly and pricing is good."

"I went here for a blow out and flat iron. I used to go to Ossamas hair design in South Holland and the one downtown but they closed a while back. The lady that works the front desk and some times do hair..cannot do 4c hair. Please don't let her do your hair. I went here a few times. 1. She was trying to comb my tangled hair while it was wet commenting on how much my hair was shedding but literally pulling it out. 2. She was arguing with the other stylist (he does hair good) and being rough with my hair because she was angry. 3. She told me it would be extra because i didn't have a perm when i did at the time. These were separate occasions so i just stopped going. I give them 3 stars because the men working the first chairs across from each other can do hair pretty good."

"As a young African American girl I came to this location for ends clipped and flat iron and the woman that works there literally cut my hair short so much is ridiculous. I literally grew my hair long just to get a slap in the face and have to start over trying to grow my hair when it was healthy and perfectly fine before I came . I haven’t been back since bad experience."

"It's been several years since I've patronized Mena's salon. Primarily, because I was under the impression lead stylist Nana was no longer at this location, only to find out that she is! Apparently there was a miscommunication when I called several years ago. At any rate, it was the reason I stopped visiting. Needing a quick shampoo and style as a Plan C option, I decided to call this past Friday to as a walk-in. I was pleasantly surprised that Nana answered the line and informed that I could come straight away. She was the only stylist working and there were at least four women waiting for service. The gentleman that gave my shampoo was friendly. His shampoo was refreshing to my scalp. I appreciated the massage, however he is not experienced at the comb out, setting and molding of hair for the hooded blow dryer--especially for sew-in extensions. I wish I'd had my foam and styling tools to set my own hair for the dry, because my hair was a tussled mass upon getting into the styling chair. I told Nana I wore a part and she told me to part it. I loved that. I went right in and did so. Explained I had a closure and that it had needed to dry a certain way in order to maintain the parting and style. Perhaps I should hv given the shampoo tech that insight as well, but now I know going forward. Once I parted my hair, Nana went to work blowing and straightening my hair then curling into style. I started up conversation, I mentioned that I thought she left the location, which she didn't. We talked pandemic, family, business and before I knew it we were done. Nana realized me as a former customer upon checkout-- probably because I'm a great tipper, hahaha, I really like the straight forward way about her. In a pinch Nana's service is dependable and she always gets me in and out, and pulled together. Mena's in Aurora has a repeat customer in me."

"My daughter's hair turned out FABULOUS! I got her hair done for her 12th bday and she is loving it! Her hair is VERY thick and they worked it well! We will be going back! Thank you"
