H2O Salon & Spa

The staff is amazing, and they even have a text service, which is so helpful when you have a busy schedule. Kyle is great. I love how she cleans up my shaved side!

I've been here twice now and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Kyle did a wonferful job with my cut - she listened well and made me look great. I also spent a long day doing a complicated dye and the whole experience was lovely. The space itself is also super cute, very Urbana.

I came here with my non-binary child for a haircut. We came in with a few cartoon pictures and a video of what they wanted and Kyle was able to bring it to life! It looked exactly like what my 15-year-old was hoping for. Very professional and they have a refill station for products. Thanks H2O!

Love this Salon. They are the most skilled in town. They have the best product for your hair/scalp (it's also sustainable), and a pretty full list of services. I've gone to Maggie there for almost a decade, and been happy with every cut.
There are only 2 downsides:
1 they are usually booked very full.
2 It is costly, but honestly worth the pricetag p

I love my experiences at H2O! Setting up an appointment is so easy! I prefer the online method but calling it in is easy as well. I greatly appreciate them because they also send texts for reminders. When I schedule my FREE bang trims, I usually call it in.

The location itself is super cute and cozy. I am always greeted with a smile and offered a complimentary beverage of my choice. I truly love the atmosphere and I feel like it is a hidden gem of Urbana.

I love my stylist, Maggie, as she does me right every single time! I am in and out and waking out with high confidence. I know everybody has different preferences regarding their salon experiences so definitely explain what you are wanting! Feel free to checkout their portfolios too to find your stylist. However, everyone always walk out with high confidence and sense of pride whenever I am there.

Highly recommend checking them out!

Jeanie did my nails for my engagement shoot and they look wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and helpful, and she gave me great tips about maintaining my nail health. She was great to chat with! The salon itself is clean, the staff is friendly, they offer you a complimentary drink upon arrival, and the overall environment is relaxing. Very good price for an hour long manicure service!

Maggie did an amazing job on my hair today. I went from long , thick and the pony tail look to short and styled.She is very talented and I would recommend her to anyone. Thankyou Maggie!!

Wow! the BEST customer service I've ever received, without question!! First, I went in for a nail service the other day and I also wanted to have my eyebrows done. The owner, who does eyebrows, stopped by while I was having my nails serviced and the nail technician stated I wanted to have my eyebrows done. The owner was not available at that time to do an eyebrow service due to a prior event but gave me an awesome coupon for my next service since she was not able to assist, which she did not have to do!! Pretty awesome!

Second, my nails did not turn out they way I wanted, for some reason the shellac started to peel. I went in the next day to have it corrected; however, the nail technician was not present due to being sick. The owner first tried to assist me herself with removing the shellac but it would have been too time consuming. So not only was I provided a refund, she also covered the cost for me to have my nails serviced elsewhere due to no one else being available! This is the epitome of customer service from an owner that truly values each customer and wants to make sure they are taken care of. I will definitely be a return customer! On top of the great customer service, the salon is beautiful, it's local, and the stylists do a great job. I've also had my hair cut here previously (I have fairly coarse, thick hair) and that was a wonderful experience as well! Please, go here and check them out, you will not be disappointed!!

Gave me my dream haircut
Love this place ❤💇🏻

Had my first manicure and pedicure done a few weeks ago. My partner and I traveled from Peoria just to come here, and it was surely worth it. Jeanie is fantastic, and I quickly felt very comfortable in this new experience. I left with a feeling of refreshment, and walked out on the softest feet I've ever had. Happy to say I will be back again, and I look forward to it.

The salon is one of the best I have encountered yes. Maggie is such a delight. I went for the first time a few weeks ago and was made to feel right at home. Maggie first took me for a tour of the entire salon and then sat me down to talk about how I wanted to cut my hair. She walked me through different ways how to texture my hair until we finally came to a decision. When she washes your hair, she gives you an extended head massage that is incredibly relaxing. I am also very happy with my new hair style and I plan to return real soon.

Maggie is phenomenal and is a true artist. I get continual compliments on my hair, even weeks after. The H2O staff are welcoming and friendly. It's a great environment, and I recommend them to all of my friends! ❤

I had gotten my haircut for the first time in 17 months (thanks covid!!!) and I was pleased with the service. I had long thick curly hair, so I knew it was going to be "challenging" for anyone to style it. McKenna did a great job with cutting it, styling it, and making my hair look super cute. I had sooooo many compliments in the following days. H2O is a little expensive, but the service was worth every penny. When it comes time for another haircut, I'll definitely consider H2O salon again 🙂

Got a haircut at H20 today. I wanted a totally new look. My stylist Amy did a wonderful job! I got many compliments. She was also very nice and patient. I kept asking her to change my hair a little bit here and there but she did not mind at all.

Maggie and Amy are simply amazing. My mom is in a wheelchair and Maggie goes out of her way to accommodate and serve her. Not to mention give her a great cut and color! Amy is very talented as well! I would highly recommend Maggie, Amy and the rest of the staff at H2O!

All the stylists here are great. Everyone is easy to talk to, they are very pleasant and they always do a great job. I usually see Amy, but you be great with any of stylists!

Every time I go to H2o Salon, it's amazing, and going now during the pandemic has raised my already high opinion of them to an entirely new level. I live with someone high-risk and I'm half-made of Clorox by this point, but H2o is so thoughtful and meticulously careful, I feel as safe there as if I were in my own home. I haven't been anywhere in Champaign-Urbana that left me feeling as safe as H2o Salon. They're even offering the option of doing haircuts outside now, just to help keep everyone even safer!

I've been going to the salon for years, and I've had hair color and cuts done by Maggie and Amy, and they're both outstanding. I love my multicolor hair (I've got a mix of purple, teal, and blue right now, courtesy of Maggie; the color before this was a variegated wine-color and pink courtesy of Amy). The hair color product they use for colors like mine (Elumen) stays SO vibrant for months, which makes it super economical too. The haircuts are always great. Maggie and Amy helped me grow my hair from a super-short pixie cut with shaved sides, out all the way to my shoulders. Every cut they've given me looked awesome, even during those typically awkward middle stages. Honestly, I've grown out my hair a few times in my life, but usually I have to wear a hat or something during those middle stages. Not with H2o. They really know what they're doing, and I trust them to consistently give me a look I'm going to love.

I've also had a manicure and pedicure with Jeanie, who is so friendly and kind. She's got many colors to choose from, and she knows her stuff. I learned a lot about nail care and foot care with her while getting a beautiful teal color on my nails and a really relaxing pedicure too.

Edith, McKenna, and Jenna have done waxing for me, and they're really great. I've gotten my eyebrows and my legs waxed with them, and my sensitive skin doesn't mind it at all.

Everyone at H2o Salon is so friendly and welcoming. The salon has a unique, relaxed atmosphere in a historic building in downtown Urbana with a really cool tin ceiling. They've got a strong environmental focus, and you can come in and get refillable hair care products at their "zero waste eco-station." They're LGBT-friendly and super respectful of pronouns, and you feel so welcome when you're there. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great cut, color, wax, or nail service in Champaign-Urbana.

McKenna does amazing work! Great price too. Normally I get a cut and it takes a full week for me to like it, but here I always leave loving the cut right away. Queer-friendly, clean establishment, all employees very kind. They are taking extra precautions during Covid-19 and as someone at risk I feel safe every time I come here. A gem in Champaign-Urbana.

I have been coming here for about 5 years along with my daughter and partner. I came here before and after my surgery, I have a long scar down the middle of my head. It was pretty gnarly the first time I went, they haven't treated me any different... They may massage a bit more gentle around that area, but they don't make a big deal, etc. I have two different textures of hair because of my surgery and they have really helped me figure out how to style my hair around these challenges. My daughter has sensory processing disorder and ADHD and we were able to bring her towards closing and Sarah did such a wonderful job on the style of her cut and handling the millions of questions that were lobbed at her. My daughter has gotten a million compliments on her hair, which she doesn't like so much, lol, next time Sarah needs to do a worse job I guess ;) A+++ would recommend to anyone, not just parents.

I love H2O and although I've moved away from the Urbana area, I still return here for my haircuts. Over the years I've gotten both short and long cuts from Edith and have been happy with every one! And the head massage during washing is to die for.
