“I’ve always been the kind of person that wants to share my recommendations when I find a truly talented, honest and kind professional (whether my opinion is solicited or not)! Last summer I saw a recommendation for this one-woman hair salon in Glen Ellyn on the Next-Door site. I decided to make an appointment and was utterly thrilled with the results. I will never forget my husband’s honest response when he saw me after that first visit, “Wow, your hair is different, I love it!”! Shortly thereafter, I referred a friend who came back to me saying that she has never had a better haircut or color and was as genuinely thrilled with her results as I had been.
The owner of the salon, Dorota Nosek, is a masterful stylist and colorist who is calm, patient, never pushy and whose only goal is to make her clients feel comfortable and good about themselves. She is a skilled artist, a wonderful conversationalist, is worldly and fun and I simply cannot say enough good things about her. It took me many years to find her, but am very grateful I did!”

"I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Darota @ DKN Salon for the last 5 years. I have been to many high end salons throughout the years, and Darota has been the stylist who has been the best at understanding what looks best on ME. She is always offering suggestions for mixing things up a little too, darker color in the winter, more blond in the summer, etc., whatever she thinks will match my mood, and keep my look from getting stale. She is a true artist, and on top of that she is a lovely, kindhearted person who I look forward to visiting with every 7 weeks. "

"I first heard about Dorota Nosek's DKN Salon from a friend several years ago and thought I'd give it a try. I have been coming back since, not only because I am delighted with her coloring and styling services, but also because I love the aesthetic and relaxing atmosphere of the salon. Dorota is a lovely person and I appreciate both her good advice about styling choices and conversation generally. I truly enjoy coming to DKN Salon and wish her all the best."

"Dorota not only gives great haircuts and highlights, her warm personality always makes it fun to be in her salon. She's been cutting my family's hair since we moved to Glen Ellyn. My kids and husband look forward to seeing her as much as I do!"

When I walk down the stairs into Dorota’s beautiful, calm and loving environment I know I’m going to leave a new Mary! I’ll have a cup of tea or coffee, have a lovely chat and be transformed once again. Dorota started working with styling my hair years ago and she found the style that was ME and, with a few adjustments here and there, has continually kept me feeling beautiful and confident when I face conventions, classes or just myself in my mirror. My sister-in-law was so enchanted with the transformation that she also went to Dorota, and Dorota gave her a different style that was HER and she is still wearing her hair in the style Dorota created for her. I cannot recommend DKN and Dorota more highly, she is a special person with a special talent who treats each of her clients as if they were old friends dropping by for a cup of tea and a chat!
Make an appointment, have a cup of tea and let Dorota work her magic with you!

Totally in LOVE with DKN Salon and Dorota! The only way I can describe this amazing salon is by comparing it to an exclusive and private salon, you would only find in Europe...serene, posh and simply decadent! From the european chocolates (brimming an oversized venetian glass bowl), to the offering of everything from hibiscus tea, to mineral water, coffee, specialty liquor and wine, this salon is a rare gem...I could never imagine going anywhere else!!!

I’m a professional photographer who appreciates how important a good haircut is in projecting an “image” I found out about Dorota when I asked a woman who always has great haircuts who her stylist was. I’ve now been going to her for over 6 years and I can easily say that she’s truly an artist when it comes to hair cutting and coloring.

Hair loves her hands, and her hands love hair! Ms. Nosek has the unique ability to "see" and create the perfect style for you: cut, color, styling, etc. As a customer of 2+ years, I give her a heartfelt 5 stars for all the hair services she offers at the DKN Salon.

DKN Salon is a wonderful retreat in the Little Shops of Glen Ellyn. Once you step into Dorota's salon, you are transported away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. She has created a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere, and I always look forward to my appointments. I have been going to Dorota for nearly 9 years, and I always get tons of compliments on my cut and color. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I am so grateful for Dorota! She has been faithful in cutting my hair for 14 years and does so with creativity beauty and love. Being with her an in the sweet atmosphere of the salon, brings peace and calm. Dorota blesses my three children and husband as well. From delicately snipping the little ones hair to now teaching my 12-year-old daughter fun and unique styles. She stays current with new trends yet listens to each client's desires and wishes. Come and receive! You will love her, indeed!

My legal representation of several salons in the western suburbs of Chicago has led me to recommend DKN Salon and Dorota K. Nosek. Dorota and DKN Salon has been invaluable in allow from potentially life ending multiple heart failures. I have known Dorota and DKN Salons for over 10 years with no issues whatsoever so I can recommend her and DKN Salon very very highly.
