I've never gotten my hair cut from any salon that wasn't in Chicago, but I recently moved to the…read moresuburbs, and didn't want to drive far to a salon. I chose to get my hair done here because I bought a Groupon, and have never gone to a salon in Vernon Hills, so I figured I'd start here. I'm not going to lie, I checked out the Yelp reviews before booking my appointment, and when the receptionist told me I was going to have Char as my first stylist, I was nervous, because she doesn't have consistent review scores on here. Regardless, I kept my appointment, and crossed my fingers. I was nervous over nothing! CHAR WAS EXCELLENT!!! She gave me a legitimate hair consultation (not just those 30 second chats, while I'm in my chair, as she brushes my hair). Char actually sat with me at the waiting area, and then we discussed about what I wanted and did NOT want (which is extremely important to mention to any stylist) done to my hair. She payed so much attention to the little details I was telling her about, which most stylist ignore. My hair turned out better than I expected. My hair looked great when I left the salon, and even after I washed and dried it myself at home. I'm really picky when it comes to my hair, and I'm not afraid to give 1 star, but Char and Salon G really deserve 5 stars. Highly, highly recommend it!!

I came here for a haircut because of a Groupon. I also added an eyebrow wax because they were…read moregetting a little unruly and it would save me a trip to the eyebrow place. So my stylist was very nice and spent time talking to me about the cut and style I wanted. The cut itself was fine. I wanted a trim and that's what I got. I think if we left it at that, this would have been a 4-5 star experience. HOWEVER, the brow wax would be 0 stars! It wasn't very painful, which was good. But it was completely uneven! I asked for a slight arch, and there was none. Half my right brow is MISSING. It looks like I decided to shave one side of my brow off! I had to go out to buy a brow pencil to fill it in before a dinner party that evening! I was horrified! Moral of the story - salon is perfectly fine for haircut and styles, but don't let them do your brows!

Rodney became my hairstylist when I was around the age of 17. I'll never forget my friend dragging…read moreme in to meet him. He felt that Rodney was so laid back and cool. In less than five minutes of conversation, it's easy to understand why. Rodney is comfortable speaking to just about anyone. I have watched him with his clients over the years. What impresses me is that it seems he styles males as much as females. Of every age. I don't see many male stylists who are able to do that. This goes for the Chicago salons I have visited over the years. Rodney may or may not agree, but he has always reminded me of James Dean. When I walked into the salon at 17, he had a tight-white t-shirt on, and jeans. Just like the icon himself. Rodney seems to like music and culture from that era as well. In contrast, Rodney has longer blond hair which echos more of the '80s. I've always found that amusing. Rodney is the best. Just sit down in his chair and let him tell you all about the El Camino he's restoring. I can't wait until he finishes this car. The look of satisfaction on his face will be epic! If you ask, he'll show you photos on his cell phone. Rodney is an unsung hero of hair. Twenty-seven years later, I found Rodney in the same salon where I left off back in the early 2000's. I had just moved back from California, and reconnecting with Rodney was just what the doctor ordered. He knows pretty much everything about me, and I had a California story for him which captured almost everyone's concerns in the salon. It was my first haircut and color since I got home, and it felt Cathartic. Also, I have never felt so supported by people I didn't know. Just when I was thinking humans were poisonous, everyone here in this moment reminded me that some people are still good. You could tell by the looks on their faces. Even if they were just curious. lol That's okay. I get that way too. I now live in Chicago, and drive completely out of my way to get my hair done. My old stomping grounds. It takes a good chunk out of my day, but it's totally worth it. Chicago salons have never treated me well. I might find a decent stylist, but my hair ends up dried out, and it breaks off, leaving my hair looking frizzy. All from the color that they use. When Rodney colors my hair, it feels the same as it did when I started my day. There's probably a simple answer, but what it translates to is a world of difference! The Optometrist I work with has learned a little bit about Rodney after each of my visits. She notices the color right away and knows I went to see him. It's to the point where curiosity has gotten the better of her because of how I describe him as a person. She already knows he has talent from looking at my hair. However, it's because of the nice things I've had to share about the kind of person he is, which made her say, "I have to go meet Rodney." I really hope she does.

I'm happy to say that as of today, I have a new one - I am so happy with the results. When I sat in the chair, Lucy asked me what I was looking for, and said about 7-8 inches off (which was the length that she gave me), but I then asked her what she thought. She gave me her opinion, but letting me know that it was up to me. I loved her ideas. She kept the cut with what I requested, but then gave me step by step of what she thought would work...and then said why. She made sure that I was comfortable before giving me a 'dry cut,' which was a first for me. She wanted to make sure that my hair type would perform as she expected (which it did). I've never had a stylist not only do what I requested, but walked me through what she was doing and why she was doing it. I also found that Lucy not only exceeded in her craft, but was also a pleasure to talk to. She's such a kind person and so giving of her time and knowledge! I felt more pampered at Hair and Co than I have at the salons where I was used to spending 30% more on an OK hair cut. I'm so happy that I found a salon where I feel valued and where I get top rate service! (Double plus is that it's 8 min from home!)
