I just got an amazing cut from Luca. He’s a great stylist and I highly recommend him. Five stars and totally worth it.

Luca(and only Luca) has been doing my hair for so long now, I’m unable to explain to anyone else what I like, because I just don’t have to explain him. We’ve gone through enough changes together for me to say - He is the most talented, creative, informed and trendy stylist I know! Always and forever will recommend him

really, unhappy with the level of cutting talent especially for the price I won't waste my $ again.

I had actually called the Oak Park number and was transferred to the Riverside salon. Now renamed Salon Elia, I actually had the luck of being assigned to Vasili (formerally known as Bill). This was my first time seeing him, and I have very fine hair and am a natural redhead but that has faded with age. I am in shock, as I have been going from salon to salon since returning from Arizona and have been looking for a sylist and colorist that could get the color right, and use an incredible color! Vasili "hit it out of the ballpark" the first time! He spent at least 15 minutes talking to me about what I wanted and what I did not. He intuitively knew what I wanted and then I was shocked at how perfect the color was! This new salon is very sleek and Zen like, and I walked out of there feeling so good about myself, enroute to a job interview, and getting the job! Over the next few days, many friends and family members kept commenting how this was the most "perfect" color that I have ever had! Vasili is amazing! And I WILL be returning and probably some of my friends and family members too! Just a short drive from Oak Park down Oak Park Avenue there is a cut off street that angles into beautiful downtown Riverside, a gem of a community. I was also very happy with their pricing, not feeling like I had been taken to the cleaners as many other salons that I have been to do! Pagani or Salon Elia you are the best!

Alisa and Amy are the reason I keep coming back. They are the best!

I was so sad to learn that my regular stylist Amy no longer works here, but I made an appointment with Frank and he did an outstanding job! Not only did he do a fabulous job on my hair, but he took the time to explain exactly what he was doing and why. His tips will definitely come in handy for those times I can't make it to the salon!

I come here for cuts and Balayage every 8-12 weeks with George. He is incredibly experienced and never disappoints. Book much in advance, he fills up quick! Be careful though, if you google them...it is the wrong address!

Do not waste your time. Horrible experiance. I wanted a simple soft suttle layered look. Instead, I got a choppy look that I had to go to another salon with the hope that they could fix the mess I recieved at this salon. But you will be your own judge if you decide to visit this salon despite my review. I'm hoping my hair grows a few inches before summer to fix the horrible mess. If I could vote negative stars I would.

I've been getting my hair cut by Frank for years. I have "cheated" a few times but always come back. The last time I got my hair cut, I told Frank I was going out that evening and he had one of his stylists (his sister Lisa) style my hair. I literally felt like a movie star walking out of there. I will keep going back!
