I've been going to this salon for about 5 years now. I really like the woman who cuts my hair, but the last 4 times I've had an appointment, I've had to wait an hour (at least) after my appointment time. What good is an appointment? Plus, I think their upcharge for a blow dry is beyond ridiculous. If someone would open a decently managed, affordable salon in Elgin, you'd have a LOT of customers. read more

Went in on a Friday afternoon, after calling to find out if my favorite stylist was there. She was not, but I decided to go in anyway. I get there at 1:50 and the doors are LOCKED. There is a sign on the door that states "returning at 3pm". I come back at 3 and wait. More people join me. At 3:25 I gave up and left. I also called the 800 number to file a complaint. They said the regional manager would call me. Here it is a week later, no follow up call. Yeah, no need to give my business to a company that doesn't want it. Bye! read more

Worst experience ever at a hair salon the woman proceeded to speak in Spanish to another person there who wasn't even a staff person and wasn't a client so it must have been a friend of hers but they were speaking in Spanish and I speak Spanish as well and she called my son an idiot {pendejo}. We will not be returning and we will not recommend this place to anyone else ever read more

Love this place. ESTER is fantastic! Cheap for quality hair cuts! Need a great cut go see Ester at TGF in Elgin.

Saw the reviews on Yelp. I am still new to the area but needed a major cut from ponytail long hair back to short hair. Amber didn't even blink. She worked with me to figure out the best style considering that my hair had been trained to be long and wouldn't lay the way it did when it was short several years ago. I happened to show up on $12 Tuesday for men so I left a good tip because it was definitely worth it. I'll be back for sure. read more

I have been going here for four years today was the last time I will ever go in this shop again. On MLK Day I waited over an hour several other people came in line and went ahead of me. I walked out the door and will never return. My wife and two kids as well as myself have gotten their hair cut here in the past. I will give a gift certificate for Heavenly hair fir her birthday on 1/28/15. I will go back Hair City or try a Cut Above the Rest. Estele has done well me in the past but this new crew is awful. One Lady finished cutting a lady's hair and just left. She could have said so and so will be with you in a minute but I need to go and feed my kids or something but not a word just walked out the door and did not even look at me. This was not only rude but down right unfriendly. She must be a Yankee reject from Austin. I TMBE (Take My Business Elsewhere). dedestop@yahoo.com read more

Had a great experience and got some excellent advice from Esther when I went to TGF, you just have to ask her and she'll help you out! The haircuts are inexpensive and the quality is spot-on! If you are in the Elgin area and need a haircut, definitely consider TGF Hair Salon. read more

I had a really bad experience with another salon in Elgin so I decided to take my son here. Ester checked in my son and said it would be a 30min wait. She was able to get him in before that time. My son loves his hair cut and so do I. She made sure to do it exactly how we wanted it. It was really nice for her to talk with my 8 year old just like any other customer. I will definitely be back and I will ask for Ester every time. read more

Have been very pleased with the cuts I have had. I have been going there for several years as I like how Esther does my hair.

I have brought my kids here a few times but I've finally had enough and don't plan on returning. They are so short staffed it's ridiculous. They usually have 2 people working one of which cuts hair and has to stop and answer phones and deal with the front desk even if she's in the middle of a hair cut. They seem so unorganized. My only positive is they are all very friendly but there are other places in town that do a good job for kids haircuts. read more

I wish I could give this place negative stars. The only reason they get one star is so that I can post this. I feel like they owe me time and money. Got checked in and they told us we had 40 minutes to wait in case we wanted to run some errands. Came back from a 20 minute trip to the grocery store so they could tell us we were bumped to the bottom of the wait list. The good news was that only 2 people were ahead of us. After waiting another hour and watching the 4th person go ahead of us we decided they should never get our business. If there were competition in town this place would fold. Don't waste your time. read more
