She even gave me advice on aftercare on how to accommodate the cleansing of my lashes since it was my first eyelash experience; so I did not have to go through the trouble to find the right cleanser , brush etc . All you really have to do is show up. Will definitely be going again for my next event. Thanks again, Maria!!

We've been happy with our treatment and stylist, but a friend recently switched to Jasmine and said the results were better than ever. My daughter had 2 days home between summer adventures so I figured it was worth trying Jasmine. She was booked when I reached out, but then the week of let me know she had a cancellation and could take her - whoo hoo! The entire process took 4.5 hours, which is long, but crazy enough less than the 5+ hours we usually spend doing this treatment. Jasmine herself was was super friendly and confident that my daughters hair would be better than ever with this treatment. I was hopeful, but skeptical. She got to work right away with a few assistants helping with the process. When I picked up my daughter I was shocked how straight and smooth her hair was after just running a blow dryer thru it for a few minutes. My daughter was thrilled, although she hoped it would be a little wavy after braids since she doesn't like it perfectly straight. She took off for camp the next day, but the only letter I've gotten in the mail is (no joke) "my hair is totally straight." And based on the camp pictures I've been amazed by how well it took to her hair. It looks a little wavy at the ends and I'm guessing she's likely sleeping in braids to get it to curl a bit. We usually have to do this treatment every 5 months. Jasmine thought every 6-12 months, but our roots grow in so curly that I'd be shocked if we could go that long. I'm also interested in trying Jasmine for the magic sleek, but she thought other treatments would be better for my blonde (highlighted) hair like the keratin express. It's tough to please a 13 year old when it comes to hair (and other things), but I think Jasmine did it!

I've been trying to find a go-to stylist now that I have moved up North and don't have the time to hit the city. I've tried places like On Stage, Teddie Kossof and Mario Tricoci and haven't been that impressed with the stylists nor the service of these locations. How I wish Renee from Roque never left town! I've passed by Gordon Salon when shopping at The Fresh Market but finally decided to give it a try after talking to one of the gals at the Aveda store at Northbrook and because I found a deal. I was referred to Maria but she wasn't working at the Wilmette location so they placed me with Hailee. I told Hailee that I wanted something that was low maintenance and complained that my hair just looked so limp and fine. She recommended that I get more of a blunt/straight cut with minimal layers. I was surprised to hear that because I thought layers would add more volume so despite my skepticism, I gave it a try. After all, hair does grow back, right? I'm glad I let her work her magic because my hair did look fuller and it just moved so much better and looked healthier. I also had her fix my wanna-be-long-side swept bangs and she got it to work. For the next few months, my cut still looked as great as the day I got it cut. The other bonus is the nice head and hand massages that come with the cut. The place is very professional and clean. I don't feel rushed or pushed with product after product. I'm glad that I finally stopped by because I feel like I have found my next go-to! Update: I also wanted to give a shout out to Carrie who did my bang trim and did an awesome job. Now that I've found two go-to's at this location, I bumped up my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars! Thanks guys! read more

One star for effort. I don't normally write reviews but this experience has been on my mind for a couple of days now. Talk about bait & switch. I was given a quote for a $20 discount ($10 discount per hair service for cut/color). I was charged full price. My haircut was not a cut, she basically snipped pieces of my ends and that was a $55 cut?! Seriously?? My coloring was off even after calling my salon to match my color. And this is suppose to be an Aveda salon?? I was not happy with the hi-lights and the stylist did offer for me to come back the next day to fix it. I came back the next day and it was worse with the toner she put in. I was then "handed over" to the new girl for a blow dry. At the aveda salon I go to, they take their time to cut, blow dry, flat iron and go back thru for the finishing touches. It's all about the details and precision - which is what is lacking at Gordon. This salon is overpriced and not worth it. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. read more

I absolutely love Gordon Salon and the high-quality products they use on your hair. I've had several blowouts and haircuts here, and every experience has been fantastic. While no business is perfect, I've always received great service. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the quality and experience are well worth it. The stylists have always been friendly, and I especially enjoy the complimentary hand and scalp massages -- they're a wonderful touch. The salon itself is impeccably maintained and feels very sanitary. I had Fresca for my blowout last night, and she was not only knowledgeable about the products but also incredibly kind. I also appreciate the warm welcome when you walk in, along with the offered refreshments. If I had to suggest any improvements, I'd love for the massages to be a bit longer, and it would be great if there were more staff at the front desk to handle the flow of clients. Overall, a great experience every time! read more

Kevin cut my hair and did a great job. I went in with a bob and came out with the short haircut that I wanted. It was nice having my head and hands massaged as well. Kevin was very thoughtful and offered me something to drink, etc. I was very flexible on the type of haircut that I wanted, and he came up with a nice cut. I have received many compliments on the cut. I especially appreciated the fact that he said that I could come back within the next 2 weeks free of charge to make any changes to the cut. That wasn't necessary, but sometime after you wash your hair yourself you realize that it needs to be tweeked. Kevin is one of the newer stylist so the cut was $39. For a more experienced stylist cuts are much more expensive. If anyone said that I referred them they get a $20 discount, as will I. read more

This location is HORRIBLE. The staff is rude, and even though it isn't busy they won't acknowledge you. I had an appointment for my daughter and went up to the front desk girl with the hat on, and she was unbelievably rude. I wasn't sure who the appointment was with and she rolled her eyes and even scoffed as soon as i walked away, as my daughter saw her.... completely unprofessional. Aside from that, the service itself was mediocre. The stylist was very friendly, but unfortunately her service showed clear lack of experience. I ended up paying the full amount and it took way more time than expected. When i left, the front desk girl with the hat passed by me and she smelled so foul.
