My stylist is Renee. She is extremely professional and accommodating of her clients. I enjoy the…read moreprivacy I have when she is styling my hair. She always offers water and a snack. She has a nice selection of R&B music that is appropriate and her space is always clean, which is very important to me. If she receives a telephone call during my appointment , she usually keeps it very short. I appreciate that very much. I live south of Chicago; therefore, adjusting to prices was something I had to do, but she provides good services. The building needs some work; particularly in terms of the bathrooms. I have emphasized this to Renee because I think it is important for clients to feel comfortable in an environment; particularly when they are paying for services. Renee does not own the building but I have been assured this matter will be handled soon as the bathrooms are currently being remodeled. I have become very fond of Renee. She has found a great style that works for me. I usually wear interlocks as the style flatters my face. In addition, the style allows me minimal time to get ready in the morning. I am very busy and this style works for me. Renee educates me about my hair as well. She is always encouraging of my natural beauty and we have very interesting conversations about many topics. I recommend Renee as a stylist.

I was ecstatic to be referred to a black-owned salon near me. I was impressed by the scheduling…read moretool which I used to schedule an appointment for both my Mother and I. It required a debit/credit card to make the appointment. We waited in great anticipation [for little over a month] for our first professional mani/pedi of the Spring. Within a few days of the appointment, we each received three separate text messages requiring confirmations of our scheduled appointments. My mother's appointment was immediately following mine. We arrived [on time] and did not receive a greeting; from either of the two technicians. After sitting, in silence for ten minutes, I inquired which tech was the owner (with whom we'd scheduled). When British responded, I inquired when I could expect my service to begin. She implied that she was finishing her current client and soon disappeared into the back of the salon. When she returned [about five minutes later] she directed me to a chair (with freshly drawn water in front of it) & asked that I pick a color. About 27 minutes after the start of my appointment, my feet are finally in water. However, British still had not finished applying the gel overlay to the client at her station. After waiting another 13 minutes, with no further communication from British, I dried my feet and explained that I am willing to pay our cancellation fees rather than continue to wait. I shared my disappointment with her lack of professionalism, her mismanagement of time and the absence cordiality. Brittany looked up & acknowledged that I wouldn't be charged as I left. If you're running behind, you can communicate this using the information gathered by your scheduling tool. I was saddened that British hasn't chosen to call or text to attempt to reclaim potential clients. This speaks volumes! If the owner doesn't care enough to do better than that, there's little hope that her technicians will. As such, I will absolutely NOT recommend Buff n Blush Studio. If it weren't required, I wouldn't have given the singular star. However, I would be remiss if I didn't leave this well-deserved review.

I told her I'm booking her for my future wedding and any big events I have. Also, I booked her styling services to get my brother's wardrobe into corporate mode since he just got his first grown up job and she's been incredible in transforming his style too. She's a superstar and so easy to work with. So talented yet so humble and makes you feel unstoppable. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!!!
