Kim is my stylist and has been for many years. She is great at color, style and cut. I highly recommend her. Nice group of people at this salon. read more

Great management, fair priced, and delightful work!!!!! Small businesses like this deserve all the credit. I actually keep Forgetting to leave a review but can't wait for them to re open when pandemic is over. read more

I saw a mani/pedi deal on LivingSocial right before my mom's birthday. It was near her house so I thought it would be nice to do a mother/daughter mani/pedi day. She never goes out of her way to get pampered and I thought it'd be nice to spend some time with her. BUT...It was probably the worse mani/pedi experience I've ever had. I called and made the appointments. I confirmed TWICE that my mom and I could go at the same time. They said of course. We get there and the nail tech asks us which one of us will be going first. I was like, "We are supposed to go at the same time..." Apparently that was not the case. Okay, fine whatever, I'll go first...so I am sitting there getting my mani done while looking at the red headed lady at the next manicure station and wondering why she couldn't start on my mom...instead my mom just sits behind me patiently waiting...I was really trying hard not to be mean about this as the lady was really nice and my mom seemed fine (though she doesn't know any better). It was so frustrating! The manicure itself was sub par...I could have done what she did myself. After the manicures, we were up next to get a pedicure...which then I realize that they only had ONE pedicure station. And it was being used by a customer and the red headed nail technician. Our nail tech asked us to be patient and that they will be done shortly. I was so annoyed that I wanted to walk out...we were there a lot longer than I thought we would be..but I stayed because I wanted my mom to have hers done. I asked if I could just have a quick polish change instead of having the pedicure and the nail tech was fine with that. I was ready to get the hell out of there. We walked out of there just over 2 1/2 hours.... The ladies that work there are incredibly nice, but honestly, this is NOT the way to run a business. Don't lie to your customers that you can take two people at the same time...esp if you only have one pedicure station. And seriously, don't charge customers $59 for this (this was the regular price listed on their website). This wasn't even worth the $29 I spent on LivingSocial! I could have gone to any other chop shop near my mom's house and the experience would have been so much better and faster. I will never return. read more

Very nice people here! 5 star customer service. However, the mani-pedi's are inconsistent. One time--best mani/pedi ever (Karen is the best!), then went again recently and had a mani/pedi with someone who I honestly think was doing a pedicure for the first time...I had to repaint my toes :( read more

Pinky is the best! I see Pinky weekly for a blow dry and style. She does such a great job. Every month I see pinky for highlights. My highlights always turn out exactly the way I want. They are perfect. She takes the time to listen to her clients. Bi-weekly she does my threading. My eyebrows always look great after she is done threading them. I prefer to thread rather to wax. Threading lasts longer than waxing and it is better for your skin! If you are looking for a blow dry and style, cut, color or threading Pinky is the one you should go see! Even when I call her last minute for a unplanned appointment she always makes a opening to fit me in! I highly recommend her! read more

Pinky is the best. She has been cutting my hair for almost 20 years and does a great job. I highly recommend. read more

Very pleased!! They were all so pleasant and took me right away. Pinky was amazing and my brows look great, very natural! Highly recommended!! read more

Pinky had cut my hair once before but this was my first full highlight with her and I was worried about the color not turning out right. After some consultation, she was able to help me pick the perfect highlights/low lights colors. Both my cut and color turned out beautiful and exactly how I wanted it. Pinky is very easy to get an appointment with and was able to fit me in at short notice. She has years of experience and you will not be disappointed with a cut or color with Pinky. If you want to schedule with her directly, it's best to call her at 847-849-6448. Give Pinky a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

So I want to start off by saying that all the ladies who work here are the nicest people, and that's why they got 4 stars. Lovely people, all clearly very good friends, and that vibe made this a very fun place to be at. It is an older clientele/vibe--I kept thinking of the Golden Girls, hehe! I had Living Social deals that my mom and I used to get mani/pedis before my wedding. Our nails look great, and I upgraded mine to shellac for $25. Overall, a very positive experience. The negatives? The place has terrible ventilation, for one; I don't know if someone got acrylic nails or a perm or something, but the place had an AWFUL chemical smell the entire time we were there, and I probably got a little loopy while we were there. They also only have one pedicure chair, and they don't do the mani and pedi and the same time, meaning my mom and I took twice as long as it really should have, and even longer because there was only one technician. Finally, unlike other nail salons I've been to, it *seems* like they re-use tools. At other nail salons, they open the package of clippers, etc., that they're going to use on you right in front of you. Here, well, the tools were sitting in mugs on the tables that they pulled them out of. I have no doubt it's still sanitary, but perhaps not as reassuring as it could be. Overall, I want to emphasize I had a really good experience, but with reservations. EDIT: Originally, I gave this place 4 stars, but I reduced it to 3. As I mentioned I got a shellac manicure for my wedding. Shellac and gel manicures are supposed to last for 14 days; previous ones that I had lasted at least that long. I got this manicure on a Tuesday; by Sunday, on 3 fingers, half the nail peeled off. Not entirely sure what happened, but very disappointing, considering I paid an extra $25 to get a manicure that would last 2 weeks. read more

Pinky has done a really great job on my hair for years now. My hair is very fine and thin, yet with great skill Pinky makes the most of it. She is also a really nice person and visiting her is a great relaxing experience. read more

Pinky is the best! I never have a problem making an appointment. She always accommodates my schedule. Been coming for years and my hair always looks awesome! read more

I got a partial highlight and cut from Pinky and I love it! The color is just what I was looking for. She is very professional and has a ton of experience. I've already booked another appointment. read more

Pinky is Great! Always flexible on setting a time to get a haircut. I have been going to her for years. Highly recommend using her.

I bought a Groupon and paid $25 for a $55 hair cut/blow dry. Pretty easy location to find, small and comfortable, bustling and friendly atmosphere. I got my haircut done by Pinky, and it was really perfect. I have never been satisfied with a haircut before because my hair is very curly and it's hard to get it to look nice. So thankful! Getting a second Groupon to use in the future ;) read more

I finally got my eyebrows threaded by Pinky, and they turned out great! She really listened to what I wanted - not skinny brows. Sometimes beauticians go crazy, and you end up with tiny eyebrows. Not so with Pinky. She wasn't chatty, but I was out in 5 minutes. read more

Hair stylist was amazing, thank you! Lady at front desk said not to buy Groupon and they would charge me the Groupon discount at studio. Groupon was for partial highlight, I wanted full highlight which she said would be fine for an additional $20. Excellent, still an awesome deal, right. At appt., charge was $45 more then expected this is not including tip. Like I said stylist was good not her fault, she got a nice tip. I said I should purchase Groupon for next appt because I did not get the discount, she had an explanation which was false. She said they charged me $130 because I got a cut and blow dry. That is part of the $65 Groupon. Evidently, she doesn't know what the Groupon is offering. I will not go back. read more

I am surprisingly very shocked and pleased with the quality of service I received. I went here only because I had a Groupon so my expectations were low to start. The receptionist was very kind and welcoming. She was very helpful on the phone when I has the old address and needed directions to the new location. My stylist was very sweet and she knew exactly what I was looking for. My hair ended up looking wonderful and I am so happy she fixed it. read more

We went for my sister's hair cut. Pinky did awesome job on haircut. We got excited with her work and asked for eyebrows threading ( this is our first time to the salon and didn't know the service details and we had groupon). Though late in the evening she stretched her hours and agreed to do to both of us. She is awesome. We will return ( with our kids) read more

Like others I used a Groupon for haircut and partial highlights. KJo is really friendly and spent time figuring out what was best for my dark hair. Once the color was on and she blow dried my hair (she is just a tad rough with the hair dryer), we noticed it had a orange-ish tint. So she added toner twice. It was getting late so I left without having my hair completely dried. She said if I didn't like it I can always come back and have more toner added. After a few days when the color started fading the orange-ness returned. So after two weeks I call the salon and asked if she could add more toner. First the owner said I would be charged $25 but then when I explained the situation they said I can come back for free. I went back and she added more toner. Now I LOVE the color! Its a beautiful caramel w/ red-ish undertones. There was another girl who works there that helped KJo perfect the color. Overall, she did a great job and was very patient with my hair. Glad I went here! read more

Got Groupon coupon, had to call 2 times to get appointment which was rescheduled in last min. I reached 10mins late cos it was rescheduled last day and I had my work to be done as well and there was lot of attitude shown for that. I have long hairs but I needed it to trimmed and set, for that I was told I will charged extra because I have long hair, so I returned back. I won't recommend anyone going to hair studio-pinky. read more

I got a Groupon for partial highlights and a cut with Pinky, I called for an appointment and got in pretty quickly. I have extremely curly hair that was way too long. Pinky did a great job on the hair and highlights. Awesome! read more

The worst mani-pedi ever! Yes, the staff is very friendly and nice but seriously that wasn't even really a mani-pedi. All she did was trim and file my nails, pushed back cuticle, (which was very harsh and painful) and massage just the hands and feet. (She would've painted my nails too but I didn't really want her to) In addition to what she did, I remember nail techs cutting cuticles, removing the edges from the nail surface and massaging the entire arm up to the elbows and legs up to the knees. I got the deal from living social with a friend and wanted to get it done together but it turns out that they only have one pedicure chair!!! Also, didn't like their hours. Most of the days they are only open till 3 or 4 and since they only have one nail lady, the appointments are weeks away. I will definitely be not going back there again and I will also think twice before buying from living social and groupon. read more

My son got hair cut in that salon today. It was the worst hair cut in his life. He become a bold. Owner and hair dresser did not say even sorry, instaed of apologing owner was giving attidude and pretend that she paid my son money for comming in.It was the worse hair shop in our neighborhood,, stay away from this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This salon moved to 907 W. Rand as they say on their website. They are now knows as Shear Ambition/Hair Studio. PLEASE DON'T GO!!!!!....They are a complete rip off!!!! The Brazilian blowout did not work at all. I think they skimped on the product. When I tried to ask them to correct and Breanna said she would, the owner became extremely rude because obviously she wasn't willing to. Went to another place to correct the blowout after a month. Same product, but they actually took the time and they didn't skimp and hair came out perfect. Shows that this place didn't know what they were doing. Don't get fooled by the low cost they offer on Groupon either. Complete waste of money!!!!! read more

K-Jo did an amazing job with my highlights. I always struggle finding the right person to do the right color and amount of highlights but she got it right off the bat for being her first-time customer. I am in love. She is great --my daughter just booked her 11yr old's appointment for a kiddisn ends only ombre with her and I cannot wait how it turns out! read more
