Maysa’s Hair Salon

Where do I start? Mmmh am going to keep this short and to the point. This is my opinion. I am not a feminist. The men in this salon, actually, the owner who sits on his thrown (at the front) seem to me that he Ill treats the other staffs and women in this place. Maybe its their culture but I observed and find it unacceptable. I refuse to support a business like that. He just always seem to be yelling at them. They always seem that they have to hide and talk on the phone and stuff. They just don’t seem free and happy. The owner seem like he is professional but he also have a bad attitude along with anger problems, maybe. Lbs (i’m no diagnosis, but am a customer who observes and spend my money where it’s wanted and deserved).
I must say however. The stylist are super friendly and talented. They really know how to handle natural, kinky, black women hair. The service is always in and out, very quick (a hour max). They don’t allow people who are not being service to sit inside. Note this before bringing along someone, not even your child. Hey must wait elsewhere. They are very upfront with their prices, that I like. Also, they only take cash. Note this before going as well. If you have only card, they will hold on to your ID and have you go across the street to CVS for cash. So save yourself the trouble. Bring cash and cash only, don’t bring companions. Smh

First let me say that Adam is a very good stylist. I prefer to have him do my hair when I patronize this salon.
I also try to visit when I know the owner «Mike» is not there. He is hands down the most unprofessional and rude business owner I have ever run across in my life. He had the audacity To charge me more because I wanted a particular stylist do my hair. Mike is NUTS! Every time I go there, he is arguing with a customer. I’ve never seen such a thing!
Save yourself the headache and go down the street to Yehia!

This place is ok to get an occasional wash and style. I have been going here for 9 years and they have been thru many stylist. Adam is the best stylist in the shop however prices vary depending on how long it’s been since your last relaxer. if it’s been 4+ weeks since last relaxer they charge you more.

First. They come have a sign tht says wash and blowout 35 bucks. Not true.Then, say they will get you in an out in 45. Also, Not true. I sat waiting for 30minutes. mind you, they only had one person ahead of me, who was finished. But, 4 workers. After working for 30 minutes, I kindly asked is there anyone to do my hair, the man went off, and snapped. I have no clue what happened. He said that he is the stylist, and the person to perm was busy. and if I want to go, I could leave. I’m a very patient and pleasant person, and was asking to see a round abt time, so I would
, after him yelling at me, and talking in his native language pointing at me, yelling irately, I left. This isn’t my first time patronizing this salon. I get my hair done, maybe a couple times out the year. and Upon leaving, I saw someone who works there coming up as I was leaving, and told them what happen, she said that he was tired, and was mad at Mike the owner, and had no off day, and said to come back. I am not coming back. He was so disrespectful. No customer service at all. He shouldn’t have taken it out on me. When I’m tired, I don’t take it out on anyone. I went up the street where it cost a lil bit more money, but, you get treated better. Today was my day off, and I came in there all happy go lucky. Left out feeling like a piece of crap chewed up and spit out.

I went to this salon on a Monday. I needed my hair done last minute, and my stylist does not work Mondays. I had planned to go to another shop on that same street that I had gone to on another last minute hair styling day, but they were closed.
I was told $ 45 for the wash of my natural hair, the wash was fine. The blow dry and style is where I would give negative stars if I could. They burned my hair, literally singed it. They had to notice the light brown and grey streak they burned into my hair given the «stylist» commented on the beauty of my jet black hair. Anyway, they hid it well (side of my hair above my ear, so it was covered by other hair) and I didn’t notice until I had left the shop. No doubt the burn was from there and my bad for going there in the first place. No idea if my curl pattern is still in tact, and hoping my real stylist can get me back right after this hair trauma. Not a fan.

Been here since 4pm and they have the nerve to have a attitude. wow let me keep my cool

Today was my first time EVER going to this Hair Salon and trying this blow out technique and I liked it! They are fast and professional. I was soooo nervous about the amount of heat they would apply on my hair because everyone that I know that has been to various Egyptian salons say that the heat is extremely hot. I am very sensitive to heat hints my nervousness, but the blow dryers are a very good temperature. I was also nervous because I get relaxers and I have heard horrible things about peoples hair afterward, but my hair is great. I would recommend this location to friends.
If I had to say one thing that I did not like, I would have to say the change in pricing. It was the day before Mothers Day and instead of offering special pricing and discounts like every other business, this place raised the prices because of the Holiday. Who does that?
Anyway, 4 out of 5 stars :)

I visited Maysa’s over the weekend. I’ve been been going here for the last four or five years at least. I have never been completely comfortable as I do not agree with the treatment of the customers. I don’t go very often but maybe 3 or 4 times a year to get trimmed but after my last visit I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN!!! I did notice, probably due to a lot of negative feedback I have seen on line, that Mike was totally different a lot calmer and seemed friendlier. I was stunned. Given he has never treated me that way before. I brought my daughter along because she needed a trim as well. While there a young lady came in for a wash and style and Mike told her she needed to comb out her hair, after the shampoo lady (the one that acts weird and stares at you) refused to wash her hair. They went back and forth as she explained how she’s been coming for years and never had this issue before and inquired about the lady that normally washes her hair. Mike pretended he didn’t know who she was talking about and eventually she left. Prior to her leaving he talked/​complained about this young lady to me, a customer. Very unprofessional. My personal experience occurred after leaving the shop. My daughter came to me that night as she was wrapping her hair and her scalp was still dirty, like it was never even washed. So I called on Monday someone took my message and said Mike will call you tomorrow, well tomorrow turned into me calling everyday being told he will be here tomorrow. I finally spoke to him Thursday night and explained what happened. Long story short he only offered a «free» dandruff treatment. Never apologized or admitted they did anything wrong and told me he wasn’t in the mood to discuss this matter and hung up. My mission is to go on EVERY site available and advise people to find another shop where you are respected and treated like a human being. I encourage anyone else which I am sure there is a large number of people who have been mistreated and received horrible service to do the same. He doesn’t deserve to be in business until he learns what customer service really is!

Great, speedy service. Kind people and very professional. You will be in and out within an hour, how great is that? The blow dryers are at a great temp, not too hot. I made this my go to place every two weeks, mostly because my hair lasts that long. They do natural and permed hair, which is a major plus. Try them out.

2 days ago, I sent my gf to Maysa’s to get her hair straightened without getting a relaxer. Her hair is the typical coarsely textured African American type of hair… well Maysa’s changed that without using chemicals. The staff was polite and even gave us a $ 10 discount because she was graduating the next day. They also had her in & out of there in under 90 minutes and that doesn’t happen typically in salons. Maysa’s one of the typical Egyptian salons that have sprung up around Chicagoland, but I think they’re better than some of the others out there. I don’t recommend going to these types of salons regularly because of the high amounts of heat they use, but its a great change up for a special occasion or a treat, and they do great work!
