AlterEgo Hair Care

 Updated On:

Overview

AlterEgo Hair Care is a hair salon located in Elmhurst, Ill. The salon provides a range of hair care services including hair cuts & finishes, coloring, hair extensions and Japanese thermal straightening. The salon caters to both men and women of all ages. One of the latest unique services provided is the AlterEgo Hair Care Japanese thermal Straightening technique, which makes frizzy, curly hair straight. After the routine washing and cleaning, the hair is ironed with a special thermal iron and voila- you have straight hair. This technique usually takes at least 3-6 hours and can cost anywhere from $300-$1000. The website says you can get this type of hair straightening elsewhere, but it is often done by incompetent people (at least the salon is not shy to talk about their competitors!) The AlterEgo Hair Care salon also offers different types of human hair extensions and provides a comprehensive FAQ section on the topic. Other interesting products available at the store include bleaches and ointments for hair loss. The curative Ego Green Phials is said to contain horse radish extracts that can nourish the scalp and prevent further hair loss. There are also some men cosmetic products at Alter Ego including shampoos, shower tonics, after-shave lotions and moisturizing creams.

Product Details

AlterEgo appears to hire skilled hairdressers trained to perform the latest styling techniques. Although it’s expensive, if you’re near the salon and need a hairdo for a big day, it could be worth it. However, AlterEgo Hair Care has little to say about the general hair care as one ages.

The Good

  • The AlterEgo website is fairly comprehensive and does provide details of what they offer.
  • The prices are listed and appear to be reasonable.
  • Decent section on hair extensions with FAQs.
  • Excellent topic on Japanese Hair Straightening technique and FAQs.
  • Provides instruction how to get to the salon and also a map.
  • Instructions are available on how to use each product.
  • Have shampoo for every type of hair in stylish bottles and colors.

The Bad

  • Wish they had some pictures of clients who have had their hair done at the AlterEgo Hair Care salon.
  • No mention of a refund policy.
  • No section devoted to aging hair.
  • The AlterEgo Hair Care salon is only located in Illinois.

The Bottom Line

AlterEgo Hair Care offers wide variety of hair and skin products and the phone number listed on the webpage works fine. A call to the office was made and there was no delay in getting an appointment. The salon is reasonably priced and the website offers instructions on how to get there. The FAQs on both hair straightening and extensions is very informative. Besides hair, there are a number of decent skincare products. The majority of the AlterEgo lotions and creams are elegantly presented, relatively cheap and contain natural ingredients. Some of the listed ingredients in the hair products included vitamins, mineral salts and various peptides. Even though the website mentions that it caters to men, there are no products visible on the site (it does mention that a new website is in evolution). The website also offers translation in Spanish. For those who want to bleach or color hair, there is wide range of products to select from. The salon best serves the population who live in an around Elmhurst, Ill and is worth a visit.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
