Who knew that salons were open on Sundays? I certainly didn't until I found this place on Yelp…read more During this pandemic, I have had to fend for myself for some of my beauty routines, with hair being the last thing I want to do. There is a reason why I make good money, it is to pay people to do those things I can and could, but don't want to. My regular stylist was down for the count from the pesky virus, so I had not been able to get my hair done. I reached out on Yelp through their page and made a request for an appointment. The response was quick as someone wanted to know what service I wanted and when did I want to come in. I took a chance on seeing if I could come in on a Sunday, but never thought they would say yes....well they did. They gave me the contact info of the stylist I would be meeting with and told me to reach out to her. Tameka was quick to respond to my request and confirm the time. The shop itself is in a store front, small but attractive, with great natural lighting. It is hard to spot, but is next to the American Ale House, on the south side of Howard Street (plenty of street parking). The shampoo area is separated from the salon (two bowls) and there is a separate area for the dryers. There are about 5 stations and a receptionist desk. When I arrived, Tameka was sitting at the receptionist desk, waiting for me. My appointment was for 11 am and Tameka started immediately. I have to say she has great hands and that shampoo was amazing. Part of the service also included a steam treatment to hydrate the hair, followed by a blow dry, trim and flat iron style. Total price was $80 and well worth it, with payment handled on Zelle. My hair felt and looked amazing. Total time was an hour and a half and that is great. I hope to have my regular stylist gets well and comes back to me, but Tameka is in my contact list and I will be calling her sometime soon for another Sunday visit.

Hands down, I have never had anyone know my hair better than Jan does. I have been going to Gaite's…read moresince I was maybe 16 and every time I walked out of that place feeling like I was in a hair commercial with a giant fan blowing into my face. Whenever I come here, I am immediately offered coffee/tea while waiting for my hairdresser. I highly recommend making an appointment because it's hard to tell when they're busy and they are known to have a lot of regulars. I go to Gaite's regularly for haircuts and also have gotten up dos done for special occasions like prom and my own cotillion. Not once have I left that place dissatisfied. That's a big deal considering how picky I am when it comes to hairdressers. I might want to warn you that I usually end up dropping $40 there for both haircuts with style and up dos (includes tip). I know it's a bit much for a haircut but I swear it's the only place I've been to where they actually listen to you and really take care of you and your hair. It's totally worth it...and you know what? Sometimes, just sometimes, every woman deserves to feel like a L'Oreal model and mouth "Because I'm Worth It" while walking away from a mirror every now and then. May Gaite's be one of those times. P.S. Gaite's recently moved to a bigger place on Oakton, just a few blocks east from Lincoln Ave. Stay posted for updated info.

I was curious to know who she sees there and that's when she introduced me to Amy. I called over and made an appointment (this was Pre-COVID) and Amy did a wonderful job on my gel set. Amy is very careful, meticulous and a good conversationalist. She has clients that have stayed with her for years, if not a decade or more. Her loyal customer base speaks volumes of the quality of work she does and carries weight as a part business owner at Nano's. I treated myself to a much needed manicure/pedicure and was pleased with the results; so much I had them on for 5 weeks! Honestly, this was not by choice. Normally I would go to the nail shop to have them removed but I eventually got them off myself. As much as I enjoyed them, they were too long. It was difficult to do daily activities like typing on a keyboard and manual housework so they had to eventually go. I miss treating myself to the occasional mani/pedi but I'm hoping in a few more weeks they will reopen and we can all get our nail fix in!
