I had the absolute best experience here at sojourn with Philip. Not only is he an enjoyable person to be around, but he is EXCELLENT at what he does! Never once have I ever left a hair salon with a smile and confidence like I did last night. The salon is gorgeous, the hair washing was extremely relaxing as well!!! I was SO scared and nervous to cut my hair due to bad experiences in the past, but he made me feel comfortable and excited. I trusted his expertise and needless to say, for once in my life I feel sexy and beautiful. I can’t thank him enough! Everyone at this salon is extremely welcoming and kind. I will never go to another salon. This is it for me. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone in need of hair care! If I could rate more than 5 stars I absolutely would. To Philip, thank you! 🖤🙏🏻
Salon was beautiful. Brandon was simply amazing, patient, kind and knowledgeable. He is inviting and taught me a lot about hair texture and styling. Very communicative and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services. Looking forward to returning and being a repeat customer.
I have been going to Phil for about 3 years or so, maybe more, and I have never had a negative experience. Between Phil being an absolutely amazing professional who is great at his job, and the super friendly staff (S/O to Angel) I could not think of going anywhere else. My daughter also sees Emily who is just as great! I have recommended this salon to anyone and everyone.
I love this salon! The owner seems like a great guy. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and seems to genuinely enjoy working there. I saw Brandon for the first time recently after my previous stylist switched careers and I’m extremely impressed. I left with exactly the haircut I was imagining and he taught me how to properly blow dry my hair. My hair looks so much better now! He’s friendly, funny, and likes to take his time. Also... the hair products they sell work so well and smell amazing. I highly recommend Salon Sojourn and Brandon!
I was super nervous going to a new salon and stylist but felt super confident when I met my stylist Philip. Very welcoming and knowledgeable. All the employees had a positive attitude & really took the time to listen to my concerns and needs. I would recommend this salon to anyone! I dont trust people styling my hair, so when I say I walked out feeling super confident in the quality of Sojourn Salon I mean it.
I worked with Brandon and he was fun, energetic, and made my hair look GREAT! I also learned a lot about ways to style and take care of my curly hair, as well as was introduced to some new products I am excited to try. Couldnt recommend him, or this salon, enough! Will be going back regularly~
Shaun Galbreath is the best stylist I have ever had. He takes his time to cut my hair so it looks fantastic each and every time. His eye for styling hair is perfection. My husband even began to use him for his haircuts because he was that impressed. The salon does a wonderful job keeping everything clean and safe. Finding Shaun is the best thing I have done for myself in years!
I got an amazing haircut from Brandon today. He was funny, incredibly knowledgeable about the products he used, and he took the time to listen to what I wanted for my haircut. Brandon gave me great tops along the way about how I can more efficiently style my own hair! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would.Everyone I spoke to see this salon was wonderful. Angel at the front desk was so nice, and Phil (I believe hes the owner?) was funny and fun to talk to. I will be a returning customer.
Hannah was awesome! She asked thorough questions about my hair before getting started. She was focused and detail-oriented, and she was so fun to chat with! Honestly the most genuine experience I’ve had at a salon. Reception was very friendly, as well! My hair looks and feels great!! Thank you, Hannah!!
Shaun is the best. I always leave my appointments feeling like I got exactly what I wanted. He gives great hair advice and really takes his time during the appointment. I feel like he always truly cares about giving me the best cut possible. He’s just really talented and has a great eye for hair!
Monica was great! She was very professional. She took time to present my color/highlights options and understand what I wanted to accomplish with this change. I wanted to let my gray hairs grow naturally, mix in my natural brown and at the same time have a fresh new look. I am very happy with my results!
I’ve been here a few times and I Love booking with Brandon! He’s Very funny and knowledgeable, plus my hair looks so good! I didn’t book for a consult but I got one anyways, and I’m so happy I did. Had to book again for my color, but I’m glad we took the time to go through what I wanted and make sure the maintenance schedule was something I wanted to commit to. I Highly recommend Sojourn and very highly recommend Brandon!
Loved our experience today getting ready for my daughters wedding! What a talented and amazing group of people- Kelly is a Rock Star and not only fun but even made my difficult hair look beautiful! Monica could not be more talented and so very kind! Thanks for the memories!
Kelly is awesome! Shes so knowledgeable, fun, and genuine. My hair color and cut always look amazing. Ive receive many compliments all thanks to her solid advice and rockstar skills. My experience at Sojourn is always wonderful. Everyone is so friendly, the salon is always clean and inviting, and the COVID measures theyve taken ensure ultimate safety. I love going there!
Emily was so sweet and very friendly. She did an amazing job on my brows and should I say more or less gave me brows. 😁. She asked me if I was comfortable and was so gentle waxing. I say one of the best waxing jobs I had in a long time. I’m looking forward to getting my haircut next. Already booked my appointment 😁.I always have a wonderful time and get the best haircut ever. Thanks Emily for my beautiful new hair! I love it 🥰
Such an amazing experience and hair cut/facial balayage! Truly blown away at how accurate my style came out to what I wanted along with how amazing and talented Phil is at cutting and coloring hair! A true genius at his art form! Could not recommend anyone/any place more!
I cannot say enough about the stylists at Sojourn! They are the absolute BEST!!!!! Phil & his team are gifted hair artists. They are always learning the latest trends & go above & beyond to make your hair look beautiful & healthy! The stylists are all very sweet & highly entertaining. I always feel at home at Sojourn & have a fun experience while being pampered. I highly recommend all of the stylists. I promise, you will not not be disappointed.
I’ve been putting off doing my hair for months due to Covid. I’m also admittedly not great about scheduling hair appointments in the first place, but I’ve been even more hesitant to schedule an appointment now. I felt so comfortable at the salon. I felt like Emily and Brandon really took the time with me to make sure they knew exactly what I wanted. They were also great at communicating with one another, to make sure everybody was on the same page. Brandon was even nice enough to take the time to explain the difference between textured and layered to me, which I’ve never had a hairstylist do before only to discover that what I really wanted was textured hair and not layered hair. Emily was so great, she took a ton of time explaining all the different ways they were able to color my hair and the benefits of each. And I also appreciated the overall precautions taken by the salon to make everyone feel safe during this pandemic. They are still currently not using any blow dryers, which was totally fine with me and I thought a great way to make everything extra safe. Even without the blow drying, I still felt pampered and like I was getting a great service. I am very excited to come back pandemic or no pandemic.
First time at this salon. Philip took his time consulting with me about options for the color and style to make sure I was confident with my decision. He’s extremely knowledgeable about hair design, which made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend Phillip and Sojourn Salon.
Brandon did such an amazing job! My hair has been brought back to life and I feel wonderful! He took the time to explain the difference between texture and layers, and explained his process along the way - great communication the whole time. Cant wait to book my next appointment - THANK YOU BRANDON!!
Brandon is an excellent stylist and always knows exactly what I want/need when it comes to my hair, whether it’s a bold or subtle change. I really appreciate how he explains what product he uses and why, along with providing recommendations on products that I can take home. He sold me on three today! Though the product line may be on the pricier side compared to what you’ll get at the store, it’s Certified B Corporation and sooooo worth it. With his recommendations, I don’t feel bad about splurging. I 100% recommend Brandon to anyone and everyone :) .
I’ve never been before today and it was easily the best decision I made. Emily was my stylist and she helped me figure out what would look good on me. When going to other salons I would always be told that layers was the only thing that would help with the thickness of my hair. She finally offered a different solution and my hair feels so much lighter! I will be going back to her always even though I live over an hour away.
I have been going to this salon for about 3 years now. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Shaun does an amazing job cutting my hair. He is easy to talk to and knows how to make me look my best! He recently did my hair for my wedding and I felt so glam and gorgeous!The photos are my wedding hairstyle and two other cute short haircuts from Shaun!
I was dyed and styled by Hannah, it was a big and long job but she did an amazing job, she walked me through the whole process and was super friendly and attentive. The end result was even better than anything I could have imagined. I went from super dark brown to a beautiful vibrant blue. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience than what I received with Hannah.
I’ve been going to this salon for several years and I’ve never been disappointed. Philip makes sure he has only the highest quality stylists And there is no high pressure to purchase product that you find at so many salons, especially the “chains.” Not only will you have a great experience and beautiful results, but you will be supporting a small business. I can’t recommend this salon highly enough!!
Shaun is always very consultative and makes great suggestions about my hair style. I have been coming back to see him for 4 years now and he outdoes himself every time! I appreciate that he does his best work each time and he always works on improving his skill set. He is an asset to Sojourn and I highly recommend him not just for men cuts but women as well! He cuts and styles my wife’s hair and she raves about him every time! Shaun’s amazing! Visit the salon and see him, you won’t be disappointed. Sojourn overallmakes it easy for me to schedule and visit and is super hospitable and accommodating! Thank you for a great experience all these years!
Always love working with Phil. He is such a talented hair stylist with over 20 years of experience. He explains thoroughly about all the different options for your hair, especially if you ever get stuck on not knowing what to do with it. Phil is a very easy going guy and I always enjoy chatting with him when I am at the salon. I would recommend Sojourn Salon 100%! Five stars and above! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I am so amazed by the hair coloring magic that Shaun has done. I originally was really impressed by Shaun’s cutting skills a couple months ago. Shaun really takes the time to listen to you. This visit Shaun took it to a whole new level. I saw some amazing hair color on TV and asked if it could be replicated. Shaunmade it happen! I am in love with my Starfire/Phoenix hair. I highly recommend Shaun for any and all hair things. I’ve even recommended my mom go and see him.
My daughter is getting married in Yorkville and found Sojourn Salon for our wedding day hair. We both came for a trial appointment. My appointment was with Monica. She really listened to what I wanted and delivered. I couldnt be happier with the look she created. My daughter had her hair done by Phil. He was equally impressive, very attentive to her vision for her special day. My only complaint is that I live in Gurnee and cant switch salons! I would love to have Monica as my stylist, highly recommend. Also, I would like to add that the salon is beautiful, very clean and welcoming. Knowing that our hair will be beautiful is one less stress for her day.
I really love everything about this place. Its easy to book online, the staff really welcomes you, the stylist I had (Brandon) took time to fix a bad haircut with care and precision, and I walked out more educated about my hair type. The salon is easy to find, beautiful, and clean and the lot has ample parking. I was surprised by a neck and shoulder massage with my wash and cut too. If you want to feel pampered Sojourn is the best way to do it!
Awesome place! Went from long hair to a short bob. Kelly did a great job. All of the hair products smell amazing. Good vibes, professional, and knowledgeable staff. Totally going here from now on.**Update:Still love this place. Have seen Shaun a few times, and most recently Brandon. Everyone here is great, you wont be disappointed!
I had an amazing experience at Sojourn Salon. I have not been back to a hair salon for two years. I always dreaded the awkward silence or small talks during the process. However, this was my first time at Sojourn Salon and they did not give me any of that vibe. I have grown my hair out for 2 years and before I had it cut it was about 20+” long. I have been thinking about cutting and donating it for months but finally decided to do it a couple days before New Years! Sojourn Salon works with Wigs for Kids, so they helped donated about 16” of my hair. When I first arrived, the receptionist kindly took my jacket and handed me nice glass of water. My hair stylist Shaun was amazing! He made the whole process very smooth and fun! We made lots of interesting conversation and he made me feel very comfortable and confident with my new hair. He gave me a nice wash and massage after cutting 16” off. He was also very helpful giving me tips on how to give my hair volume and some color tips if I was interested to have color in the future. At the end, he even curled my hair for a nice finish touch to see how it would look curled. I would highly recommend Sojourn Salon and would definitely come very soon!
I had the great fortune of getting a walk in appt with Shawn. After a consultation we agreed on what route to take with my short hairstyle. He did a fantastic job listening and using his skills and knowledge to find the perfect cut for my lifestyle. I love the haircut and will now start making appointments with him as a regular!
Kelly was very helpful and friendly! She helped me decide on a cut that fit my lifestyle and provided a lot of info/tips for my hair. The whole experience was very relaxing- from the hot tea to the neck and shoulder massage to the easy conversation. I would definitely recommend going here.
Always an amazing experience here! I’ve been coming here for almost two years and probably the best haircuts and coloring in town! They have so many talented people and they really listen to how you want your hair. There is always a great atmosphere in the salon and you’ll never leave disappointed!
Sojourn Salon delivers a high quality salon experience without the inflated prices found at some places. I have been going to Sojourn Salon now for 3 years and I have always had a great experience. I see Monica for my hair color and Sean for my hair cut and style. Monica does an amazing job with my hair color and Sean always leaves my hair looking fantastic. They are very friendly and helpful with my style needs. The front desk staff also has great customer service and text and email remembers are very helpful. The atmosphere is very welcoming. I would definitely recommend the salon and Sean and Monica.
Love love love this gorgeous salon! I’ve been coming to Sojourn Salon for almost two years now. When I first walked in my hair was really long (Past the mid of my back). I’ve been wanting to get my hair cut really short, more of a pixie cut, but I wasn’t comfortable going to just anyone. One of my girlfriends had cut her hair short and I loved it! I asked her where she go it done and she told me Kelly at Sojourn Salon. Kelly killed it! I love my hair short. She never hesitates when I say I want to do something funky and different. We work really well together and she makes me feel comfortable and confident. I have had so many compliments on my hair since I’ve been seeing Kelly. She rocks!The salon as a whole is beautiful. It’s always clean and inviting. The receptionist are super friendly. There is a ton of space, so you don’t feel like the other guests and stylists are on top of each other. I used to hate, at other salons, when your conversations with you stylist would be interrupted by the station next to you. This never happens at Sojourn Salon. It’s very professional and up to date. Also, the products they use are unique and original.I constantly recommend people to go to Sojourn Salon. Such a great salon to get your hair done. Thank you to the whole staff at Sojourn Salon for being to awesome!
We came in as a walk-in and they made enough time to fit us in. Pleasant, clean and friendly enviroment. Shaun was our stylist and was 100% beyond understanding and amazing. Definitely going back. 100% would recommend for all ages. Love how exotic/creative the stylist are. Above and beyond great!!!
I had the best experience at Sojourn Salon. The atmosphere and energy are exactly what you want in a salon, peaceful with a welcoming feel. I had my haircut by Kate Mills. She did phenomenal. She listened to exactly what I wanted and didn’t try to change me. She respected me, my style and wishes and gave me my perfect cut and style. I highly recommend Kate and this salon.
I have come to Sojourn multiple times for both colors and cuts and have never felt anything short of thrilled. The salon itself is stunning and well-kept, and the product line is fantastic. I love that the line is also a certified B-Corp. Brandon is my stylist and he always nails the color/cut right on the head. I reccomend this place to everyone. Thanks Sojourn!
I enjoyed a great morning at the salon. All of the staff was so willing to give information and help on how best to style your hair, which products to use, and why. I dont feel like Ive ever learn as much as I have in a salon experience as in this one. The product selection is amazing with products that you can trust the ingredients in and the quality. I cant wait to go back.
I can not say enough positive things about this Sojourn. The staff is so friendly and greets you right away. The receptionist always has a smile on her face and is ready to take your coat along with being super accommodating over the phone. The hair cuts and highlights I have gotten from Devon are amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new place to go. Always a great experience.
Shaun is amazing!! He truly listened to what I was looking for, gave me some ideas, and made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. He even took the time to show me a quick and easy style afterwards; it was the very first time Ive left a salon liking how my hair was styled after a cut. I absolutely cannot wait to go back!!
Devin is literally the BEST! She does a fantastic job on my hair every time. Shes so knowledgeable about color and cuts and what would look good. Plus, she has an awesome personality and I always look forward to getting a cut or color from her. Thanks for being so awesome Devin!
Went in today with a really bad hair dye another salon did and asked if they could fix it and of course they said yes. Shaun listened to what I wanted done and he also gave a great idea to what I could also do with my hair and I said he could do it. He fixed my hair and the color came out really nice. He did an amazing job on it and I’m so glad I came across this salon. I would recommend Shaun he listens to what you want done and he’s really helpful. If I could give it more then 5 stars I would. Will definitely be coming back for all my hair treatments.
The best haircut Ive had consistently in years. My go to barber/stylist is Kate! The fade is always on point and her knowledge of style and enthusiasm always leaves me happy.My only disappointment is I didnt find her sooner!Ive recommended the location to my girlfriend and other friends. They love the rest of the staff as well.Check this place out.
Overall I had an amazing experience with the Salon from the min. I called with a last min. much needed haircut. I had an amazing consultation with Shaun. I felt very confident in his work of art in hair and trusted him as a first time customer. I felt refresh leaving with a new haircut. Shaun is AMAZING!!!
Great experience, as always, especially during COVID times. The team at Sojourn makes you feel seen and important by simple steps like temp checks at the front desk, masks throughout your visit. Consistently clean and still providing the best service. My entire family, including kids age 10 & 13, get their haircut here.
I have seen Devin twice for highlights, haircut and keeping up a small chunk of my hair a fun color (pink, purple, whatever mood Im in). She is really easy to talk to, does a great job with my hair and really spends time understanding what Im trying to accomplish before starting so that were on the same page. I really love the salon - it is relaxing, inviting and easy to pass a few hours in (I have a lot of hair). I also love the iPads with magazines on them - super easy to catch up on lots of reading while Im there!
I cannot say enough great things about Devin! She is so talented. I’m not great at communicating my “hair vision” yet she manages to read my mind and make it happen every time. My hair is the in the best condition it has been in years, all thanks to Devin’s techniques and suggestions.
Monica just couldnt be nicer! Always gives her 110% to the entire appointment. Color and style is always glamorous and glowing! The front desk staff is so kind and patient! The owner even after hours is so responsive through email if needed, just couldnt get better attention or service. I would never go anywhere else!
My go to hair salon was in Chicago. We moved to North Aurora less than a year ago and after so many months of searching, I finally came across Sojourn. I initially communicated solely thru Yelp and the owner (Philip) was amazingly responsive which I truly appreciated. After a week or two of communicating with them, I finally was able to come in for a cut and another day for color. Devin cut my hair and Monica did color. Both ladies were so professional and informative and I just loved the experience overall. I am still going thru the process from brunette to ash blonde and Monica was so helpful and explained the whole process before everything got started. She explained that it will likely take several sessions to do this and kept making sure Im okay with it. I am currently pregnant and she took full consideration of this by taking a much gentler approach. Although I believe that she would have been the same way with any client regardless. I appreciate the care that is being put towards my hair during this process. Im coming back in 4-weeks, as Monica recommended, to get that ash blonde Im going for.Overall, I enjoyed everything about the salon, all the services (neck massage and head/massage was may super favorite) and not to forget their little nook completely equipped with studio lighting for the perfect, well-lit, shot of your before and after. I am so glad I have found Sojourn. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend them. You will not regret it!
Do yourself a favor... visit Sojourn Salon! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service is exemplary. My experience was flawless from the moment I walked in the door until the moment I left. A friendly greeting at the reception desk, a hand shake and introduction from one of the owners, a relaxing head, neck and shoulder massage before my hair cleanse, an extraordinary haircut from Philip... what a treat! I will definitely be back.
After going to this salon twice, I will never go anywhere else! Not only is the level of skill AMAZING, but Sojourn really makes a point to give you an experience. From the hair wash to the neck massage, every minute is pure relaxation. And, you leave looking great! What more could a girl (or guy) want!?
I see Amanda for cut and color. She is what I would say is a hair intuitive and knows what her clients not only want but needs to make them look fantastic. I have had so many people ask me where I get my hair cut and who the artist is that makes me look fabulous. Artists are what they all are, not stylists, Artisits~~ Love this Salon and Spa called Sojourn
Recently moved to the area and decided to try out Sojourn Salon for an overdue haircut and balayage. I booked both appointments with Emily and cannot recommend her enough! She was very thorough, made sure I was completely happy with everything, and even took the time to show me some styling tips. Everyone was wearing a mask, and Sojourn Salon did a great job of social distancing and sanitizing equipment between clients. Will definitely be coming back!
I love each and every one of my visits to Sojourn Salon and Spa. The staff always goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The products carried by Sojourn are the best in the industry. I look forward to my next trip to Sojourn and to my appointment with Philip!

2022-02-23Kelly consistently does a great job, I was so relieved to have found her several years ago. The salon itself is great too, not a stuffy atmosphere, relaxing vibe. Whenever I can’t see Kelly due to scheduling conflicts, every other stylist has been great too. I never leave reviews but having had consistently great service from everyone over a period of years, I’m confident in recommending them to anyone. They use an awesome line of products too !!

2022-07-07Posting on my friend’s Google so I can leave a review. Paid $55 plus tip for a root touch up. This is my root one week after my hair was done at this salon. Wish I could get a refund. Basically lit my money on fire. Upsetting. Looks like it did when I walked in.

2022-07-07Sojourn and Brandon are awesome! Ive been going there for a few years and Brandons worked with me on achieving what I wanted over that time. He is good at explaining and making recommendations for hairstyling and care, and takes the time to listen and understand concerns or questions. Probably the first time I felt comfortable with my wavy hair has been since coming to Sojourn. Hes also a delight to converse with and an enjoyable person which always makes the experience better. Thanks!!

2022-07-23So easy going and so fun to talk to! Super nice from the minute she first greeted me until the minute I left. I told her I was unsure about going through with the haircut and she was super understanding and helpful through out the whole experience, by far my favorite experience in a hair salon!

2022-06-03Jess does an amazing job!!! I 100% trust her in making decisions as far as cut and color with my hair. She’s helped my hair become healthy again after medication made it thin and weak.

2022-08-25I had Brandon help me with my mess of a hair. The attention to detail and care given was exceptional.I never knew what a quality haircut was until today.Will return again soon.
