Searching for a Good Hair Stylist

Well, once AGAIN I let a hair stylist tell me what type of haircut I had....then proceed to give me what she 'thought' I wanted!! - I HAD an INVERTED BOB which is shorter in the back and gradually gets LONGER in the front. SHE said it is SHORTER in the front and GETS LONGER in the back..... SOOOOO I said 'then what is this style I have?" - she said 'just a regular 'bob' cut" .........as she proceeded to cut my hair, i could SEE the way the ends of my hair were cut at an angle as she proceeded to chop them bluntly into a REGULAR BOB style.

Once again, I am very unhappy with my experience and would love a referral for a PROFESSIONAL who is up on the styles and KNOWS how to create them!

Thanks!

What can I do next?

I have the greatest hairstyles and she is not far from you. She specializes in bob cuts. She went to extra education just to perfect the BOB CUT.

She is a stylist at JC Penny's in McHenry. Her name is Angela. She is the neatest lady. I followed her over to McHenry from the salon she was at in Woodstock. I drive over to have her do my cut and color. I am not a hairdresser but i will tell you I am very funny about my hair. I would never go to a clip joint. I check out a hairdressers education and learn where they have worked before.
She does not just chop away. She takes it nice a slow and really gives you the special service. And let me tell you she gives the best head massages when she is washing a rinsing your head. I just can't say enough about her. It will cost you about $35.00 for a wash, cut and style but it is well worth it.

If you decide to give her a call, tell her S. Eidok referred you. I will get a discount on my next cut.

Let me know if you decide to give her a try and how it went. I know you will love her.

My friend, Maud Jannin, is a very good stylist, who works with upscale clientele in the Gold Coast. She's also opened a new salon in Lakeview. The salon's name is Mon Ami Coiffeur. She is on the pricier side, but she is amazing. I like that she tells me what will look good on me when I ask (most hair stylists are either afraid to say or don't know), she's very confident, and last time I went I let her have her way with me, and it was great. You can reach her directly at ____@____.com or cell ###-###-#### to schedule an appointment.

I just recently started going to the Mario Tricoci University in Libertyville. The cost is about $12 per cut. I like it because you can't make an appt so I just go when I have time. They are really good too because they are still learning and they want you to be happy. The only catch is that they are a bit slow. I don't blame them, but make sure you have time when you go, it does take a bit longer than a stylist who is more experienced.

I have the same haircut, and I got it at Great Clips. The stylist I see there is really great. I also go to Robert Allen Salon in Sugar Grove (next to Aurora) when I have money. They really know what they are doing. Good luck!
