I have to let you know that after reading couple of reviews I decide to visit Strada Salon and it was the best decision !!!! I'm very picky but I guess so many stylists don't take their time,they did.Valerie stylists who highlighted and cut my hair made me feel so good ,even that I was upset at first since she was running 15 min late ,but believe me its better to wait just like you wait to see a good doctor.Salon owner is always there to help and if there is a difficult color correction just like mine they are on team mission to get your color perfectly done but they also care about condition of your hair.My hair dry and damaged are back to life ,they did some Japanese moisturizing and reconstructing treatment which I was ? at first since its kind of expensive but it just amazing ,its like magic.I also bought Moroccan an Aquage haircare and I'm in love with it.Print 20% for new clients from their website. I love you Strada and I will tell all my friend about you .Thank you !!!! C.

Elgin, IL 5 star rating 6/18/2010 After a very disappointing visit to a salon in South Elgin, I was skeptical about trying another new place in the burbs. I saw a girl at the mall, loved her highlights, asked her for her stylist and she recommended Val at Strada Salon in Algonquin. I just came back from my visit and I am more than happy. Finally I have highlights that I have been wanting. I would recommend her and the salon to everyone. I also saw Edyta for a Brazilian and I have to say that while it was a tad painful [my first time] I am very happy with that as well. 2 thumbs up!!
