She does a great job with my perm. I've tried a couple other places, but so far, this place has been the best and for $120, I think is a good price.

The work area is open spaced, the front has a seating area

That comment felt very micro aggressive as I am an ethnic woman with thicker hair and I felt very uncomfortable. They also added a headpiece on me horribly with all of the Bobby pins sticking out. I had to take it out and redo it myself. They clearly do not know how to do other ethnic looks. The lady at the front desk has a very unprofessional and nasty attitude. I would stay away from this salon. I don't live here but I have family and a huge community living here, I'm going to tell everyone about my experience and to stay away.

(A perm that will give me soft curls rather than ringlets.) $220 for a trim and digital perm, took two and a half hours. I think Sue did a great job, I just got the perm today, so we'll see how it looks in 2 days when I wash it. I felt that Sue was very meticulous and precise. Since I don't speak Korean the only thing she asked me was how much I wanted to cut, and where I do my part. For better or worse, she took it from there ((I don't do very much for my hair, I usually get two haircuts a year, and the last time I got a perm was over five years ago.))

I recommend getting a haircut with the head. They also do a great job at hair dyeing too!read more

Today, I finally decided to bite the bullet and give Illusions a shot, and I'm so glad I did! My appointment for a gel manicure and regular pedicure with Tina was at 1pm, and I got there a few minutes early. We picked out polishes and then started the pedicure before moving on to the manicure. I was there for about 100 minutes total (some of the reviews said three hours, so I was relieved). Tina is METICULOUS and so nice. She has been doing nails for 30 years, and it shows! She was able to recommend what would look best, my cuticles look amazing, and the pedicure didn't even tickle me like it normally does. I paid $70 for both, and tips are cash only. This is not the place for an upscale, pampering spa day--it could use some updating, instruments didn't come in sterilized peel packs, etc.--but the price is right for a standard and high-quality mani/pedi.

I went in wanting my long hair straightened, colored, and trimmed, and the stylist nailed it. They listened to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. My hair feels silky and looks so healthy after the straightening. The color turned out exactly how I pictured it -- even and vibrant -- and the cut refreshed my length while keeping the style I love. The staff were friendly, the salon was clean and relaxing, and they used products that left my hair shiny without feeling heavy. I'll definitely be back and would recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled, friendly stylist.

Long story short, my hair turned out fine but I will never go back…read more Way back on April 16, I made an appointment for myself and my DIL to have blowouts for a wedding for my son's best friend. I made the appointment for 1:30pm on July 26, a Sunday afternoon. A friend made a separate appointment for her and her daughter-in-law at the same appointment time. On June 26 I received a text from the salon inquiring about our hair length and thickness to make sure we were booked for appropriate length of time. Great! Confidence inspired. The week of our appointments, on Tuesday and on Saturday, I received emailed appointment confirmation requests that required me to click on a link to confirm which I did each time. The emails also advised if we were late or cancelled we would be subject to a $25 fee. Totally fine because this is for a wedding and important--not cancelling and certainly not showing up late. At 11:50AM on the date of the appointment, I get a text asking if we can come in at 1:45pm instead of 1:30pm. I replied that no-we really can't. We have a wedding. Whoever it was texting replied--no problem--1:30pm is fine! We all four show up at 1:30pm which was apparently far from "fine". No one started on my hair until 2:05pm. The other 3 had theirs in progress at varying times later than 1:40pm. At no time did the receptionist come over to where I was sitting to offer any kind of explanation. She walked past me multiple times with no eye contact, no offer to refill water. I am starting to go in full panic mode as we were supposed to bring lunch and drinks to the groomsmen, I still need to walk back to the Hyatt, do makeup, get dressed, get the food and catch a shuttle to the wedding that is 15 minutes away. My stylist apologized when she finally started my appointment and said she had to "finish another girl up." They had to have either squeezed someone else in knowing that there was not adequate time (hence their text) or a person showed up late. Either way, 35 minutes late to start my appointment that they confirmed several times and then told me "1:30pm was fine" is absolutely unacceptable. When I went up to pay, there was no apology, no offer of a discount. I didn't blow my top because at that point, why? There's no way I'd entrust them again with keeping a schedule on an important day. I had to have someone else pick up the food. And mind you, this was a military wedding. Do you know how often I get to see my son and buy he and his friends lunch on an ordinary day, much less on an important day? Not very often. Rare in fact! I wish I would have done my own hair and saved myself the stress! Nothing like paying someone for panic.
