Julia and team are masters of their craft. Their precision and attention to detail are unmatched. The salon is clean and completely dust free. Julia provides the most tranquil space, with phone chargers and stands, plenty of beverage options and little sweet treats. The color selection is massive and growing constantly with so many gel options too. If she doesn’t have to color you’re looking for, I swear it appears on your next visit. She really listens to what her clients want. Overall, U soul is THE BEST. I have been with her for years and will continue to go to her forever!

They even offer eyebrow waxing, which was a great surprise!

Excellent! The best spa manicure and spa pedicure with callous remover that I have ever had. I have travelled throughout the U.S. and stayed at top resorts with spas and this was better. It was very clean and the service was excellent. There is no comparison to any place in Chicago. I highly recommend.

I definitely recommend Karina and will continue going back to her for all my hair needs :)
