Morgan Christopher Salon + Spa

Background on Owner:
Christy Christopher, the owner, is an experienced stylist herself and has been in business for over 30 years. She named the salon after her beloved daughter, Morgan, and it is located in Bartlett, Illinois at Rt. 59 & Army Trail Rd. The salon is celebrating its 11 year anniversary this month. Christy and her team pride themselves on great customer service and full knowledge of the wedding, beauty and spa industry. They don't skip a beat when it comes to expanding their knowledge in all their services. Christy makes sure her staff is current with the latest hair trends, cutting techniques and products while also embracing the Aveda philosophy of making "their clients not only look beautiful, but feel beautiful". Morgan Christopher uses Aveda's extensive line of hair, body and make-up products.

Client care isn't their only priority; they go out of their way to care for the environment, too. The Morgan Christopher team practices "greener" methods which makes the salon more efficient while also preserving nature. It's all about harmony and tranquility, and that's how you should feel when you step out of Morgan Christopher Salon + Spa.

Wedding Services:
They can accommodate any size group or wedding party. Their bridal consultant can assist you in planning your event, and she will ensure that your day goes as smooth as possible with you + your bridal party looking and feeling great. For brides-to-be, your chosen stylist can give you advice on updo, hairstyling and make-up that is on trend. And don't forget with Morgan Christopher, your bridal party and family members have access to pre-wedding spa services along with nail care treatment, too. Everyone can relax and enjoy themselves as the bride makes her transformation in the care of the Morgan Christopher team.

Other Services:
Morgan Christopher is a full-service hair salon for cuts, hairstyling, color, highlights, perms and relaxers; and they offer relaxing spa services as well — manicures, pedicures, full body waxing, massages and facials.

A Personal Experience:
Once a former bride back in 2009, I had my firsthand experience with this salon. Morgan Christopher was the first and last consultation for my bridal hair + make-up. Basically, they impressed me so much with their services that I didn't have to go looking for another stylist. Not only do they get my support for wedding services, I have since gone to Morgan Christopher for my everyday hair care needs. Their salon is personable, friendly and ever-so accommodating. As soon as you step into their doors, you are greeted, and will be asked if you want some hot tea or a cold beverage that suits your needs. They even offered getting me a drink from Starbucks since it's conveniently located next door. Now that's a top notch salon in my book.

Also, all of these wonderful images shown in this post are from my actual wedding day preparations, and professionally shot by my wedding photographer, Marcin Harla. The day couldn't have gone any better.
