    Start of convo: Notice no where even here does he mention any fee about cancelations
    Alya J.

    PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING ANY FORM OF "DEPOSIT" TO THIS CROOK!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY "CONSULTATION" OR BOOKING HIM FOR ANY SERVICE WHERE A DEPOSIT IS NEEDED TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT: I wish I can keep this short and simple but the situation does not allow me to. He was referred to me by a friend. I usually do a lot of research before spending my money on a service but I don't know why I took someone's reference seriously and decided to go through with this "business" without more thorough research myself. I contacted him via instagram, submitted my photos for a "consultation", and received a quote. I was quoted $1400 for the extensions and a keratin treatment. Upon making an appointment he requested a 50% "deposit" (see screenshot below). I zelle'd him the deposit of $700. No where before or after (or via text, email, website) did he mention that once the deposit is in, and GOD FORBID you change your mind or something comes up, you can pretty much kiss your deposit goodbye. Most accredited businesses allow a time frame if cancellation is needed. I cancelled with him with OVER 48 HOUR NOTICE. When I requested to receive my deposit back, he refused to return the full amount. He was only willing to return $525 and he keeps the $175. According to him (please see screenshot below) "normally, we don't refund anything when a security deposit is given." Also, when the payment was given, the term "security" wasn't even part of the booking process. It was just "DEPOSIT." When he realized I no longer want to do business with him, that is when the term "security" was added (see below for proof). You can see my frustration in the screenshots below during our conversations via instagram. I am repeatedly asking him the same question on where this was mentioned about him keeping a portion of the money. He does not answer the question once and ended up blocking ME from every platform. If this isn't the most unprofessional, crook, deceptive practice and behavior, I don't know what is. I wanted to get my hair done and feel pretty because I am a registered nurse that works crazy hours and have been feeling really overworked and beaten down with the pandemic. Not to mention, this all took place one week before my 33rd birthday. Not only did he cause so much unnecessary stress to someone who already works in a very stressful environment, disrespected me by not answering my questions and blocking me, but he robbed me of my hard earned money. I had no choice but to file a police report for theft. I also contacted my lawyer who will be in touch with him, AND he has been reported to the Better Business Bureau. This all may seem a little extreme for $175. But it is not even about the money at the end of the day. It is people like HIM that make this world a scary place with his unethical and unjust "business practices" and how he can literally scam people of their hard earned cash without any ounce of remorse or guilt. UPDATE: Went on his website and noticed that he modified his website as of 12/8/20 at 10:56 so it says that a NON REFUNDABLE security deposit is required to confirm the appointment. Of course this is in a barely visible font so he can continue to scam people. Attached the picture as proof of when he modified the website which is AFTER this entire incident. Instead of owning up to his mistake he continues his deceptive behavior (see attached photos for proof!)

    The "hair room"
    Sue Z.

    I came here because my daughter highly recommended them. I've had my hair done by Milan and I'm in love! Sophie microbladed my eyebrows and I'm also in love with them. The salon is pretty and people are nice. Easy parking and great location. I'm a regular now and they deserve a five star review. Highly recommend. The hair extensions are all made in house and are customizable, I'm updating my review by adding this in because my daughter had hers done and they are fabulous and natural. Another thing to add is that the private rooms here make you feel so at home and personalized.

    Tranquil hair room! Love.

    I have been seeing Milan for many years. He is an expert!!! Love his work. Cut and color every three weeks. Color is always perfect and always love my cut. I referred my friends and family.

    Here's my after. I see him do it all the time and I needed one!!

    Milan is the best of the best!! He has given me the hair of my dreams, I recommend him to all of my clients and family/friends! Don't walk....RUN to get an appointment now!

    I'm not happy to write a negative review but hoping to save someone from spending so much $ on a business that does not stand behind their product/services. My review is long, detailed, & very accurate. I found The Artist Known As Milan through his social media advertising, which is clever & seducing. Milan made sure to mentioned at my install appt that it's normal for strands to fall out, even upwards of 20 (which is a lot considering I only had maybe 100 strands). 1st wk good, although noticed a smell from my ext hair when washed. Beginning of the 2nd wk lost 6, by root of hair! I've had ext for yrs & never experienced them falling out by root. I texted Milan freaking out & wanted help. His response, "Heyyyyy!! No worries, don't be scared. Some natural shedding is always in the cylinders too. In the beginning- first few days/weeks it's normal to loose extensions." What!? I was upset. Losing them by the root, & so many, is not normal. No offer to see me & no follow up. By end of Wk 2 lost 18 more, most by root. Now I was worried ext were not put in properly. I was able to see a certified extension stylist, w/many yrs experience, for 2nd opinion. She was kind enough to fix ext that fell out. She said cylinders were too large & heavy for my fine hair & not enough hair was pulled through. She noted most of my ext looked like they had 6 wks outgrowth, I was at 3 wks. They were also placed too close to my hairline, which is fragile hair. The keratin I got didn't stay in in back sections & my highlights there bled & are brassy. I returned next day to remove, re-tip, & refit my ext with smaller cylinders, for fear of losing my hair. I contacted Milan to tell him everything, attached pics, questioned where his ext & cylinders are from & how many bundles I paid for. I asked for my $ back. His response, "Hi, I'm sorry to hear you went somewhere else. As far as Dreamcatchers hair goes- no, I stated I was using my line of hair.. B.B by Milan. Losing up to 25-30 strands between visits is normal. Your follow up app was already scheduled. 5/23. Hair extensions are non refundable." He didn't address questions, acknowledge pics, & again brushed me off. My reply was losing 1/4-1/3 of ext, by root, was not normal/acceptable. Keratin didn't take/wasn't applied correctly, & highlights look terrible in back. I noted he hadn't posted my before/after on social media, obviously wasn't proud of the job he did. I again requested he do reputable thing, stand behind his product/services when things go wrong, & refund me the total, at the very least, partial $ of $1200 I spent with no response. Therefore, filed a complaint with BBB, which he also ignored. Don't be fooled by The Artist Known As Milan's social media advertising. You won't pay for quality label ext hair, install, know where "his line" of hair is from, how many bundles you're paying for, or if they are the right ext for you. Go to someone who uses reputable label quality product & stands behind their work. BTW, haven't lost 1 ext w/new stylist's install & it's been 3 wks!

    Where to begin... Generally speaking I've had bad luck when it comes to dentistry. From terrible…read moreexperiences during my time in the military to feeling like I was being ripped off from previous dentists, I was very apprehensive finding a new dentist after moving to the Chicagoland area. Ironically, before visiting Woodgroove Family Dentist I had a appointment at another dentist. I walked in and immediately left. The vibe just wasn't right. I could not be happier I made that decision! First of all, Dr. Aloor is fantastic. I enjoy the rapport with not only the Dr., but her entire team. Amanda at the front desk is always a pleasure which is saying a lot because that's my ex-wife's name lol. The feeling I get from the place is empathy. Granted, it is a smaller practice, but I think if you're looking for a flashy ambiance you're probably paying extra for that, but the office has all the modern comforts and technology you'd expect. My first visit was for a routine cleaning and to discuss veneer options. To my amazement Dr. Aloor actually does the cleaning. What doctor does that these days? You can feel the experience and confidence during the cleaning that you don't get many other places. Next, the veneer consultation. I explained to Dr. Aloor that I was interested in doing 6 veneers out of pocket and was ready to move forward. To my astonishment she told me that all I really needed was to replace an old crown and install a new crown on the adjacent tooth, and I would have the smile profile I was looking for with my insurance supplementing most of the cost. What dentist does that? She could have easily taken thousands of my hard earned dollars as I had already committed to veneers and was none the wiser. I knew at that moment I found my new dentist. Lastly, after starting the crown procedure there was an issue at the lab (not the fault of the dentist). They were able to get me in quickly to re-do the impression and give me a new temporary. I'm looking forward to my new smile! If this review comes off like a advertisement I suggest you read some of my other reviews. I'm very critical of any place I spend my money at! I'm happy that as long as I'm in this area I've found my dentist! Give them a try!
