Top Elegance began with one woman, a lifelong love of beauty, and a simple idea: every woman deserves a place to feel cared for, confident, and completely herself.
For Emy, beauty started long before it was ever a career. As a little girl she was the one always dressing up, experimenting with looks, and styling anyone who would sit still long enough. Hair, makeup, the way a single change could make someone stand a little taller — it fascinated her from the very beginning.
What began as a childhood obsession quietly grew into a craft. She studied it, practiced it, and poured herself into it for years, until the hobby she loved became the work she was meant to do.
"I wanted to build a place where a woman could walk in, exhale, and just let her hair down."Emy Merab · Owner & Head Stylist
Opening her first salon was the moment the dream became real. Top Elegance was built exactly the way Emy always imagined a salon should feel — calm, beautiful, private, and unmistakably for women.
She made a deliberate choice to keep it a women's only space: somewhere clients could relax fully, be themselves, and never feel rushed or on display. For many of her clients — including women who wear hijab — that comfort and privacy means everything.
Every chair, every mirror, every detail was chosen to make one promise: when you're here, the focus is entirely on you.
More than great hair, Top Elegance is about how you feel while you're in the chair — and long after you leave it.
Emy loves the women she gets to take care of. Many clients have become regulars and friends, and welcoming her Orland Park community is the best part of every day.
Every new face is a new story. She genuinely loves getting to know each client, understanding what they want, and building the kind of trust that brings them back.
From balayage and bold color to sleek cuts and cool, current styles, Emy stays on top of the trends so every look feels fresh, confident, and unmistakably yours.
There's nothing she loves more than being part of a bride's big day — creating a look that holds through every hour of dancing and every photo, start to finish.
A women's only sanctuary by design — private, comfortable, and judgment-free, so you can relax completely and simply enjoy being taken care of.
Real advice on what will work for your hair and what won't, with treatments that keep it healthy and strong — never just a quick result at your hair's expense.
