Once Again, Flair has pulled a 'last minute' miracle! Sadly, their shop doesn't open until 1pm -- however, they're open until 9pm. I called and left a message for an appointment for my attendance at a Fashion show the same evening. Thankfully, they were able to get me in for a haircut / blow-dry / flat iron. Thanks to Jenny's handiwork, and allowing me to change into my outfit for the soire - I was in and out and on my way to the Newberry in record time.
I got SO . MANY . COMPLIMENTS on my look tonight -- I felt like a rockstar!
I have been going here for several months now. Jenny's my stylist and GOODNESS she is amazing! She has a sign over her station that says "I'm a beautician, not a magician", don't be fooled! She's very modest!
I happened upon this little gem when I was living in Lincoln Park, due to it's close proximity to my apartment at the time. It's a small, unassuming shop not far from the Wellington stop on the EL. Jenny is fairly new to the neighborhood as I am to Chicago, and our conversations are always diverse as well as lively.
There's a little terrier in residence who belongs to Michelle - the Owner of the shop. She's a dear and very friendly.
My favourite bit of decor in this quaint little shop is a clock which hangs on the wall near Jenny's station -- with the hands in their usual place; the numbers are in a jumble at the bottom of the clock. above the numbers it says "whatever" It makes me smile every time I think about it. I want one. read more
