| - Let me start by saying I've used Yelp to help me select local businesses for the past few years, but have never been moved to write a review until last night. (If you knew me, you'd be surprised to read this because I love to write reviews and blog.)
I have very naturally curly hair that I love, but I have never felt like I truly received a good haircut once in my life. As a teenager, I went from salon to salon out of necessity when I needed a haircut, and it always felt like a chore. Now as a young professional, I knew the time had come to invest in a really good haircut, and to finally find a stylist to call my own.
After reading great reviews about Gemini of Chicago on Yelp, I decided to give it a try. I was sold on the fact that they received great reviews from other women with curly hair. I called to make an appointment and unfortunately had to cancel on my way there last week due to a freeway closure. The receptionist was so nice and kept calling me to check in and see if I would be able to make my appointment. The great assistance I received during this process was impressive, and she easily rescheduled me for last night.
I arrived for an appointment with Lisa and was instantly impressed with how nice the inside of the salon was. You will instantly forget you're in a strip mall. There was no overwhelming salon smell; in fact it smelled really good inside. The receptionist greeted me, offered me a drink, and a seat. My appointment began right on time, something I've never experienced at other salons. I was shocked when Lisa sat down to chat with me before she even took me to her chair. She wanted to know about me and what I wanted. From that moment on, I fell in love with Gemini of Chicago. That personal touch will keep me coming back.
Lisa was extremely friendly and she helped me with everything I needed. I hadn't had a haircut in over a year, so my hair really needed TLC. The "bowl" area where you get your hair washed is great, and the reclining massage chairs were awesome. Another fabulous touch. Lisa recommended a protein treatment for my hair, which I got. She was so helpful and explained everything she was doing, which really made me feel comfortable. She offered me certain products, but never made me feel pressured to buy them, something else I loved. Most importantly, she gave me a FABULOUS haircut. She also showed me some tips to manipulate my curly hair. She put in fun layers and showed me some styling tricks. I left the salon extremely satisfied and happy to have finally found my perfect stylist!
While I am still getting used to my shorter cut and trying to rock out my cut, I am very pleased with the change in style. I cannot wait to return and see what else Lisa and her team can do with my hair. I'm a very picky person, but I cannot recommend this place enough: clean, classy, and a very friendly yet professional staff. This is a hidden gem!
