Andre "Dre" Polk is hands down one of best stylists/educators that there is. It's one thing to find a stylist who can execute an amazing cut/style, but Dre has raised the bar when it comes to offering true hair care. While some professionals limit the amount of information that they provide, in order to make you dependent on them, Dre truly seeks to educate his clients on how to maintain their style and overall hair health. He is truly a perfectionist and it definitely shows in his work. Aside from my early morning appts, which allow me to get my little one off to school and arrive to work by 8:30, what I appreciate most about Dre is his integrity. When looking at new styles, hair color or scheduling, he refuses to tell me whatever it is that I want to hear (just to make a dollar)...rather is always up front with me. In doing so, I've avoided lots of frustration and kept a head full of healthy hair. I've been a client of Dre's for nearly a year now and he's always been consistent. Although he has a good idea of what I like, he never assumes and always asks my preferences. I am very particular when it comes to styling products/moisturizer and never once has Dre taken offense about my input. He even lets me put it on myself, so I can control the amount that is used. My hair absolutely loves him and looks forward to those weekly appointments. Lol! I am thankful to have found him (and Evan John Salon) right iny own backyard. read more

Male Stylist (Dre) Is one of the greatest in the Chicagoland area, Me and My mom been going to Dre for over 30 years plus. We started going to him at Charlene"s on 95th Street and been following him ever since. I will follow him to the moon and back. When I first started going to him I had a wrap, my mom had short hair, throughout the years we have switch our hair styles. Now I have short hair and so does my mom. I love the way he cuts and styles my hair, my mom does too. He is a true workaholic, if he could work seven days he would and he also work on holidays. He works around your schedule for the availability. I'm Minchette Robinson that was my aunt that was speaking first. I been going to him ever since the fifth grade and he was the first one to give me a relaxer. My hair has been growing healthy ever since. Now I'm a junior in college, I come home every other weekend to get my hair done. I hope Dre be around a long time, so I can say I been going to him for 30 years like my family.

I've been going to Dre for over 10yrs & I never had any problems with him, and the way he conducts his services with his clients he has his own style. Yes I seen that ppl have there favorite place to sit, but as long as my hair gets dried I really don't care one way or another. Where ppl choose to sit. people just choose to make a big deal outta nothing nowadays. So stop complaining about a dryer cause in my eyes that's just nonsense, I want to sit in his chair, and come out slayed. Which I didn't hear you complain about yet. So obviously your hair must've been slayed. #yourpetty read more
