I have gotten my hair cut here for as long as I have been around. I always have been treated kindly, and have been given the service I ask for. Even when I had a non-standard haircut they were happy to style it to my liking and to how my hair grows to make it look its best. Apart from the great quality of haircut and service, the shop has a charm to it that isn't found in many shops anymore, and a kind of homey feel. I am always welcomed in with a smile, and I never feel like I am overpaying for the service I receive. The Barbers are here for more than just a transaction, they are there to give you an experience. I fully recommend Glenn's Barbershop as one of my favorite family barbershop experiences. read more

I went on a Saturday at 12 pm. Apart from Glen there was nobody. While I was there, another two customers popped in. The first one also popped out for a lil bit, and Glen told the 2nd customer who came that there was already one ahead of him (point is he kept the first customer's position in queue). From the little that we did chit chat I gathered he is a veteran. He's really old.... I mean he moves slowly old. Seemed to be of a sunny disposition. For $8 (+2 I tipped) I got a decent haircut. I am the kind who doesn't really care about my hairstyle though. He asked me how I would like it and after failing to evoke a deterministic response from me, he kept my style and trimmed it short. Dunno if you all wanting a fancy haircut will be satisfied.... maybe he's a good stylist too..... or maybe not.... I just don't know. Go if time is not an issue. It might be slow if there's waiting..... but overall good bang for my buck read more

Apparently Glen is no longer with us but this place was sold to someone else. Although the barbers at this place are polite, talkative, and very nice they are not trained in cutting hair. Furthermore, I hate to say this but these are probably people that needed work and were given work as barbers. I gave it one star because the workers were very nice except for a female who was on her cell phone while cutting hair and would trade on and off with the owner for some reason. My barber used box cutter blades to trim my back instead of a barber razor blade which I didn't know until the end when I saw it on the table. While getting a haircut, I did wonder why my neck was on fire from the blade, I just hope it was a new one or at least clean. This was my first time there and all though my haircut cost only $10 I would not go back next time. read more

In addition to the price, stylist did not seem to understand anything I was telling him to do and left me floored that he even thought he was done on several occasions. Attempted to strike up a general conversation twice throughout the process, like most people do, and he was uninterested. Even a chain haircut place I regularly go (nationwide) offers to put product in to help a cut look better at every location, without even asking. I was not offered anything. Advice to help, update your website or take it down altogether. That is where people will be looking for info on the place. Stop lying to your customers about what each bundle includes if you won't provide it even after asking for it. And I'm not sure if it was just this "stylist" but teach them to be a little more customer service oriented.

Anna's Nail Salon

I visited this nail shop for the second time ever yesterday. My daughter lives in Champaign and the…read morelast time we came was in February of this year to get pedicures for her birthday. We both thought they did a great job and our pedicures lasted a long time. Unfortunately when I came by myself yesterday, I had a very different experience. I called ahead to reserve an appointment at 4pm just to be safe. The gentleman who worked there answered my call and just agreed to my appointment time and was about to hang up, I said don't you want my name? He said what's your name? I told him, and he said ok see you at 4. When I arrived at the nail shop the man who answered the phone was at the first nail desk closest to the door working on a customer. There were two other women nail techs working on customers who just looked at me as I walked in. No greeting. The man didn't look up and said "can I help you?" I responded saying I have a 4pm pedicure appointment. He said "ok pick your color" never looking at me once. I picked my color and took a seat. I did not wait long before one of the ladies came to get me. I do not have much to comment on related to her pedicure on my feet. She didn't ask me if I wanted my toenails cut which usually is common practice, but other than that, the pedicure was pretty standard. She made some errors with paint on my skin but cleaned it up and the finished product is fine. She made no conversation whatsoever, though I cannot confirm or deny whether or not that was due to her limited English because I only heard her speak another language. The disturbing part of this visit was the conversation between a white woman and one of the nail techs right next to me. That nail tech was definitely trying to keep up conversation with the white woman and at at one point the white woman mentioned that she didn't realize she had this coming Thursday off. (Due to Juneteenth) The nail tech, who is an Asian woman, asked what's the holiday, the white woman fumbled for an answer and ultimately googled to find out what the holiday was and what it represented. The Asian woman asked "are you getting paid for the holiday?" The white woman said yes. And the nail tech responded "well as long as you're getting paid who cares that's great enjoy yourself!" As a Black woman who is literally sitting in the chair right next to them as they had this conversation- and NO ONE had the self awareness to recognize how deeply offensive that exchange was!! #1 for both of these women, one of whom is of a marginalized identity, to be oblivious to WHAT Juneteenth is, is disgraceful. #2 after they both "learned" that the holiday was about the eradication of the enslavement of Black people, and then to say "who cares as long as you're getting paid" is the most disrespectful and disgusting thing a fellow woman of color could possibly say. And to say it in front of a Black woman. Her deep need for white acceptance made her oblivious to how terribly ignorant she looks. I hope she reads this review and I hope she understands she has betrayed herself and her sister in this world. I do not recommend this business to anyone, but especially not for any people of color as they clearly have no respect or desire for our patronage. There are plenty of other options and I hope this business reaps the karma it is sowing.

Another girl came in after me and we were done at like the same time- did I get the slow guy? Price can't be beat- there is a small fee if you use credit card, so, bring cash. And the pedicure itself was well done! My regular pedicure was $30 and included a scrub, lotion, hot towel, and I was sitting in a massage chair, so, relaxing.
