Jonathan Kane Salon & Spa

All the staff I’ve interacted with are pleasant and friendly. Kelsey at the front desk, Lindsay for my brow wax, and Marissa for my cut. Jonathan Kane is an AVEDA concept salon, so I knew what to expect going in which was exactly the reason I chose it. The reception staff is quick to offer you a beverage; tea, water, etc.
I arrived early for my most recent appointment (brow wax & cut) and Lindsay was able to take me ahead of schedule. Followed by a brief wait for Marissa. I knew I found a good stylist when Marissa asked if I wanted my longs bangs/​face layers thinned. I told her to do what she sought best. I love having confidence in my stylists knowing that I can give them professional and artistic freedom.
I believe that the hair cut prices are moderate for a «branded» salon. I do however, feel their prices for waxing services are a bit high ($ 18 for brow). My overall bill was $ 60 + $ 10 tip.
I will be a returning customer.

Just spoke with the owner about my experience, and he was very gracious and apologetic. He offered to pay for my next service, which I thought was pretty awesome. He also addressed the fact that clients do come in more informed about formulas and applications, etc. and that his stylists should count those opinions. So happy to report that I really felt heard by him.
He also told me that it’s the salon’s policy NOT to have employees getting services while clients are there. He said he spoke to Alysia and reiterated this and will also remind the rest of the stylists as well. He said that when I was ready, that I could book again with whoever I wanted, and that the desk would make sure it was on a day when Alysia wasn’t there so it wouldn’t be awkward.
The world certainly isn’t perfect, and salon mishaps happen. But I’m so impressed with the way JK handles things when they do pop up. I haven’t gone back for a correction yet. but I’m updating my rating based on the great customer service I got in a really awkward situation.

Went for a touch up color, to get rid of my grey hair. My hair turned out SO dark! It was horrible. Was leaving the next day for vacation and wedding. I almost cried it was so dark and horrible. I said I was not happy but they didn’t offer any kind of discount, just excuses. They did offer me a return visit but why would I return there?
The pricing is outrageous, $ 130 for a color that was not what they said it would be. Most other salons of good reputation charge just over $ 50 and for a color that you like. If I hadn’t been leaving the next day I would have traveled to the city to a good salon. If the hairdresser gets out a swatch of hair on a chart to match your color, you know you are in trouble.
I do NOT recommend this salon at all.
A bad experience and they did not really care.

Why did I not a write a review for this salon years ago? I’ve been getting my haircut at JK for over 3 years. Love the staff, the Aveda products, and the ambiance. It’s very relaxing and feels like a special treat just to have a hair trim.

NOTE: This is a review from my wife, who has not now nor probably ever will have a Unilocal account. This is her experience as it was described to me.
I was treated to a facial for my birthday, and it was wonderful. The girl who did my facial, her name is Kaylen. She was very thorough, and made me feel pampered and relaxed. In addition to her working on my face, I was also given a hand and foot massage, which felt heavenly. The spa atmosphere was perfect and the young lady at the checkout counter was very kind. I definitely recommend this spa for any service and I will be back.

I am a *huge* fan of this salon. I go to Angela for hair, and I almost don’t want to write anything about her since she is enormously popular and already very hard to book. Suffice it to say, she is the best stylist I’ve ever been to, bar none. And nice as all get out. The owner has done a terrific job with the space and it’s a very upscale, soothing, professional experience from start to finish. I also go in for manicures and pedicures once in a while, and all of the nail techs have been excellent. I am a huge fan of Aveda salons and love the more natural products and techniques they use. This is a lovely, city-​grade salon in downtown Flossmoor, and it’s a gem. Also, Aveda tea is the best, and they always offer it in the winter. This place isn’t cheap, but it’s elegant, top-​notch, high-​end, and totally worth it. Please read this review as eight stars (the extra stars are for Angela, on behalf of me, my mom and my husband, who are all regulars).

I love getting my haircut done here. Everyone is very friendly and well skilled. Whether you’re seeing your favorite or someone new they all do a great job at giving you what you want. I’ve been to 3 different stylists here and have loved them all. I am regularly stopped by strangers and asked where I get my hair cut because they like it, and the last time the person asking was a stylus herself.
The atmosphere is clean, open and airy, and very relaxing. It’s stylish and pretty and smells great with all the Aveda products.

Let me start my review by stating my hair looked and felt great. My stylist (Willisa) was very knowledgeable, personable, gentle in her hands and overall, a professional. My three star review is in no way a reflection of her work. If I were solely rating my stylist, she would receive five stars.
My disappointment came at check out.
It was my first time at a salon in years — I’m an advocate for doing my own hair, but I had the day off from work and wanted a «free-​day» from straightening it myself. I had found Jonathan Kane online (I used to be a frequent visitor of the previous salon, «Edens» many years ago) and read nothing but great reviews. I confirmed my appointment online and made it a point to call and confirm the grand total prior to arriving to ensure it fit within my budget. I was told $ 70.
After a relaxing hour-​and-​a-​half in the hands of Willisa, it ended on a sour note at checkout. I was told the grand total was $ 90. I promptly asked the reason for the increase, as I was quoted $ 70. I was then told, there’s an additional fee for «natural» hair, and my trim that was previously quoted at $ 10, was actually $ 20. With tip, I walked out paying $ 105.
$ 105 for a wash, blow-​dry and trim.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Willisa, I can confidently say I will not be returning to JK salon solely due to the extremely high costs. In a way, I felt I was being «punished» for maintaining my natural hair (i.e. an almost $ 30-​$ 40 extra fee). As my stylist can attest, my natural curl pattern is very fine, soft and manageable — how would my hair have been treated if it were relaxed? I had a relaxer for 13 years and I can confidently say there’s no difference in approach, so why the additional fee?
I simply cannot justify spending this amount in the future. I wish Jonathan Kane much success moving forward.

When you find a good hairdresser, you stick to her like glue. I LUV my hairdresser Willisa. She does a great job with me even when I am at my grumpiest. So I’d follow her anywhere.. I have since followed her to this little gem of a salon in the south suburbs. Jonathan Kane is a beautiful downtown salon in the burbs. Neat, clean beautiful floors I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Before I had a chance to look around, I was offered a choice of a beverage (coffee, lemon water, or herbal tea) and before I had a chance to respond someone offered to take my coat. So far, it was worth the crosstown trip. Midday on a Friday afternoon and I ran into a bit of traffic but otherwise not bad. The salon was busy but it never felt crowded. In addition, they use Aveda products and treat all hair types, male and female. I felt a little alone on the way out since the woman at the front desk (a different one) choose to ignore me as I tried to make a payment but I enjoyed my experience overall and because I love Willisa, I’ll be back. I

Love Jonathan Kane Salon! My family gets their hair cut by Alesha, and she does an amazing job. She’s always been on time, and the ladies in the front as always so sweet, offering a beverage, magazines, etc. I’ve never had a booking issue once, and there is no uncomfortable tension or gossip amongst staff. They all seem to really love their jobs, which makes for a pleasant cut.

Have had great cut, color and pedi here and will be making it my primary salon. Everyone is very nice here, it’s warm and friendly here. Do wish they had better/​more seating in lobby though. Love that they are open on Sunday’s also!

I’ve never gone here to get my hair done, but I’ve been going here for a while to get my eyebrows done. More specifically, I’ve been going to Lindsey! Lindsey is amazing when it comes to waxing. I’ve never left disappointed! I have sensitive skin, and she’s always been careful not to irritate it. Also, the salon uses Aveda products which is great for people with sensitivity. I also tend to make last minute appointments, and Lindsey definitely makes an effort to squeeze me in for a brow wax.
The salon is cute and it seems very clean. I would definitely want to try some other services there. The only downside is that the salon is pretty expensive compared to others in the area.

I am a fan because the staff is awesome. The price increase made them less competitive. You can get the same if not a better manicure, pedicure and eyebrow waxing at upper scale salons downtown. If you work down there even more convenient. I still like the way the ladies cut and style my hair and the hair services pricing is competitive.

Visited recently for a mani and pedi to celebrate my birthday. Had a relaxing, great time. Glenda was wonderful. It was very apparent she is a pro with many years of experience. I loved the outcome of my services and also that she shared some tips with me in keeping my hands and feet pretty and healthy in between visits.

Let me start off by saying that I am in the beauty field and know, and am friends with the owner of Jonathan Kane. That does not make me biased tho. i pay the going rates. I love the skill of the stylists who have cut my hair; I love the ability to walk in at the appointed time and walk out looking great (if that is possible for me).
i feel like a partner with the stylists who have always inquired about what i want done or if I have any hair issues. I like having a shampoo and then a rinse after the cut to get the hair off my scalp and then going back to the chair for styling. Cannot say enough about the nice feelings i have for Jonathan Kane.

I always go to Jonathan Kane when I want a relaxing experience. The atmosphere is fantastic, the new management has really stepped up the service. I always feel welcome when I go there. A true gem of Flossmoor.

I got a giftcard for here so that’s what brought me in.
My nail tech was very nice and friendly and we had a nice time chatting. The salon itself was very clean and had an open airy feel. It wasn’t anything special, but it was good enough.
The manicure itself was not that great. I told her upfront that I had bad cuticles and she didn’t end up doing a good job in getting rid of them. Usually nail techs will clean them up, then massge you and prep you for color and then go over the cuticles again. Not her. I didn’t actually realize the bad job until i got home and really examined my nails. Also my paint was uneven and not cleaned up. I was disappointed and was glad I didn’t actually pay out of my own pocket.
Also, I found it a little odd that they make you get up to pay at the front desk. I appreciate them making you pay before your nails get painted, but for a nice salon, the nail tech should have taken my money and brought me back a receipt to sign. That’s good customer service. And then when the manicure was done, I had to sit out front and just wait for my nails to dry. She did give my drip dry drops, but once again it was a little weird to just plop me down on a seat with no fan or anything.
With so many other nail places to go to, I don’t think I would go back.

The space, which is nearly identical to the former occupant, Eden Spa, is very beautiful. This is 100 percent an Aveda concept salon, which means they carry no other products, except for OPI nail polish. I love the natural light and hardwood floors in the waiting area. Unfortunately, I cannot be as complimentary about my pedicure appointment here last week. First, I had to wait 25 minutes with no explanation or apology until finally someone asked me if I was being helped. Apparently, they only have one nail tech on duty and she was running behind, she told me, because her last client could not decide on a nail color. Once in the pedicure chair, the nail tech was friendly, but seemed tired. The room where the pedicure takes place is very dark and completely separate from the rest of the salon and had no magazines or music at all. The tech didn’t really offer much assistance with regard to the color and a few days later, I can already see the polish peeling in some areas. For $ 45, I would expect a MUCH better experience than the one I had.
