Conexion Salon and Spa

Great cuts at reasonable prices! Great home feeling in the middle of the neighborhood.

This has become my go-​to salon ever since I moved to the neighborhood. The prices are reasonable, the service is great, which goes to show you don’t have to pay $ 50 for a haircut to be treated well!

If you are looking for a reasonable priced, friendly environment this is it. I’ve gone to places that charge twice as much for half of the customer service and a crappy job. Josephine does an excellent job on my eyebrows (a little more than other places but it’s totally worth it $ 15) and my hair. At my first visit I was looking for a change and my hair had been damaged (by the salon across the street) and she helped me fix it right up by giving me a cut that would hide some of the damage. I’ve texted her the day before I need an appointment and she always squeezes me in. She’s even shown up to work early for me so that I can see her when I need to. I also love that they are so nice to the elderly. Every time I go there, there are elderly women and men getting their hair done. Not super fancy, but who needs that? Minus one start because I wish the esthetician was there more often.

Just got my four year old daughter’s hair cut here. They did a great job, were very thorough and sweet to her. And it was $ 15! I felt it was a much more stylish and professional cut than you get at the kid’s hair salons.

I’ve been to Conexion Salon a few times now and I’ve had a wonderful experience each time. MY go to hair stylist has been Angie and she’s always taken great care in finding out what I want and also has great suggestions on hair styles and colors! I definitely recommend this Roscoe Village Salon!

This is a wonderful salon. If you can, ask for Angie. She really takes that extra step to make your experience perfect. The prices are great too and they are very knowledgable. Angie is the only person I trust with my hair. I get it colored and cut and she does a great job every time. They also do massages, waxing and mani/​pedi. If you havent gone here and are looking for a new place, its a MUST try.

Angie is the best! $ 15 men’s cut on Tuesday is the best deal in the city… reccomend for anyone looking for a great affortable men’s cut

Angie was great. I needed a quick bang trim and found anywhere that could fit me in close to my house. I wil be repeat customer now — I lucked out big time with the quality of service she provided!

Honestly, it takes a lot for me to go to a salon and take care of my long hair.
That’s why when my wedding day was approaching I was in trouble! I called different places… most charged as much for just a preview of a look as my little dress had cost me: l Thankfully Conexion Salon was recommended to me by my husband.
At the salon, Angie took care of me first by listening to my likes in hair style, then looking through some choices, and finally doing a sample of both a hairstyle and makeup.
My experience at the salon was great– the entire staff is very friendly and professional. The day of my wedding Angie was there earlier than opening time. I was late but she still had time to do an outstanding job, and we even changed the style! She did my makeup and I was ready to go :) looking great for my special day! The pricing is very reasonable and overall I was more than satisfied– thank you Angie!
I saw how many services they offer here– from waxing to relaxing massages and all hair services… I can’t wait to go back and do something to my hair =D

This place is awesome! Margarita, Josie, and Angie do a great job with my hair and eyebrows. The place is a very comfy family owned salon that knows a lot when it comes down to your hair. I always walk out of there very satisfied. I always go there and am glad to have a stylist who knows what she is doing. I have never had a bad experience there. They are gentle and do condition your hair. They make sure you don’t walk out of their salon with your hair wet. I love it here!
I’ve gone there for a waxing too. And they are were clean about the entire process. Despite what people say, Angie and Josie are very clean and caring. They let you know exactly what they are going to do and care about the pain you feel and try to make the waxing less painful. The wax was great and I was fine after with no pain. And I have a low tolerance for pain, so it’s nice to have them making sure I’m not hurting through it all.
Both my sister and boyfriend go here to and they love it! I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a Paul Mitchell salon. Conexion doesn’t try and rip you off and leave you feeling like you over payed for a haircut. Their entire staff is super friendly and enjoy talking with you while you are there and even have complimentary coffee, tea, cookies, and fruit. This place is amazing and I will recommend it to everyone!

I just moved to Roscoe Village and needed to find a waxing location. After reading many reviews on Unilocal I chose Conexion– big mistake. It was not clean and I was in pain– for many days after. Stay away!

For me, this is the type of salon where you feel uncomfortable from the get-​go. I have been here twice and both times were unfavorable. I received a gift card for my birthday and originally went in for a mani/​pedi which took about 3.5 hours! It was a good mani/​pedi but who has that much time to spend in a salon making idle chit chat and hoping your nails are instantaneously dry so you could leave immediately following the last brush stroke!
I still had money left on the gift card so I «HAD» to go back for something so I needed a pedi and once again was thoroughly disappointed. This time, a different nail tech, performed my pedicure but it was done too hastily. It was like she didn’t know how to do a pedicure or just didn’t want to do the hard stuff. That’s why I pay for pedis — so someone else could scrub off the dead skin off my heels! She seriously used the wrong side of the foot scrubber thing. She cut my nails but did not file or shape them! I could have done the same thing but better at home with my pedi egg. I get home and look at my toes closer and notice there is polish outside of my nails and on my skin! Ugh… Not to mention, it was $ 30! Way too overpriced for a pedicure of that quality. If I pay $ 30 for a pedi, I at least expect a massage chair and a thorough scrub! The chair was pretty uncomfortable btw. Then when I checked out it was like the 2 ladies at the counter were zombies and not understanding anything i said! Needless to say, I will not return to Conexion or recommend it.

I just moved to Chicago, and live pretty close to this place, so I decided to try it out. When I got there, they were ready for me, which is always nice. The girl who was working as the receptionist was the same girl who did my shampoo. She was sweet, but a bit rough. I’m not tender headed at all – I am a camp counselor and am used to having 8 year old girls try to «do my hair» for fun. She was fun to talk to, but I felt like she wasn’t really paying too much attention to my head.
So now we come to the haircut. Margarita cut my hair, and she was sweet. The hair cut I ended up with was ok, nothing too amazing. I sort of felt like there was a little language barrier, as if she was having trouble understanding what I wanted, but she tried very hard, so I really appreciated that.
It was decent, but I probably won’t return.

FANTASTIC! It honestly doesn’t get better than this I would give them more stars if I could. The staff is very friendly, attentive and proffesional. I’ve been going to Margarita for years now and everytime I visit I leave very satisfied. I’ve gotten hair cut, color, waxing, and facials at Conexion and each experience was phenomenal!!!
Thanks Conexion Keep up the great work!

My cousin and myself went here for a prewedding manicure. My cousin made an appointment for the two of us. We show up, only 1 manicurist.
It took 2.5 hours for both of us to get a manicure/​pedicure, because there was only one manicurist and she had to do both of us individually. Had we been walk ins, obviously they wouldn’t have known 2 of us would have been coming in and it would have been fine. However, they DID know, didn’t do anything about it and it took an extremely long time.
The job the manicurist did was fine enough, but I’m not sure I would go back.

Just got my eyebrows waxed here (really, like 45 minutes ago) by Angie, and they turned out so beautifully! It was one of the most perfect brow waxes I’ve ever had. She took her time doing it, explained each step of the process, and the final result was flawless and stylish. I’m so happy! I think $ 15 is a very reasonable price for what you get here. I’m certain to go back the next time I need my brows waxed!

So everyone here is really nice and they make every effort to accommodate your needs, but I don’t feel like they have a whole lot of experience.
On the plus side they are VERY meticulous with your hair and take the time to talk to you about it and explain everything. The girl who cut my hair was incredibly sweet and my hair turned out fine. It’s not stuffy and super trendy at all and you will definitely feel comfortable here.
I tried this place because it’s walking distance to my house but I probably wouldn’t go back unless I desperately needed an inexpensive haircut.
The eyebrow wax was also fine but I’ve had better for the same price. Bonus points for the lady because she acted like she really cared about my brows and how I took care of them.
If you’re looking for a reasonably priced, nice, clean salon with an inviting atmosphere and really nice employees, then go here.

Yay, finally found a salon that I like and that doesn’t charge a ton for a haircut.
I was able to make an evening appointment with one day notice. I came in with a picture and Margarita took extra time to make sure she was giving me the exact cut I wanted. I’m getting so many compliments on my hair today!
I was a fan of some *other* place in Roscoe Village but at Conexion, I pay the same price for a haircut, get my hair washed and don’t feel rushed.

I’m driving around lakeview looking for someplace that will be quick, clean, reasonably priced, with nearby parking for a last minute lip waxing. Conexion was all these things.
I walked in, asked for a wax, filled out a form, and was in the back in under 2 minutes. This was the first place I’ve been that asks about your skin before a waxing. They really care about you and obviously don’t want you to have a bad reaction.
They had me lay on a table in the back and propped me up with pillows. She used a pre-​wax cleaning thing, quickly yanked off my mustache, used a gel to remove the extra wax, aloe to sooth the skin, and a cold light-​bulb thingy (though I’m sure that’s not what it was) to calm the skin.
I’m sure I was in and out in less than 10minutes. You can pay with cards, but tips must be cash. The place was really nice and the people are friendly. I’m giving it 4 stars, not 5 because I don’t know what their hair cutting is like.

This place was so great, it made me finally sign up for a Unilocal account so I could review it.
I called about an hour ago to schedule an appointment for an eyebrow wax, and since I just live down the street, I was able to come in immediately and get it over with.
I walked in and was greeted by name upon entering– total plus for politeness. They even offered a cup of water.
The eyebrow shape and attention to detail that I got with the wax was top notch and better than what other salons charge twice as much for. It was $ 15!
They were installing new pedicure chairs while I was there, so I’m excited to come back and give those a try.
