I met Nancy shortly after I moved to Skokie back in 2006. I had been working in the area since 2004. I would run all the way out to Lake Forest to get my hair cut. Good hairdressers are not easy to find. Nancy understood that perfectly. I met her while I was working. As one of my customers, we got to talking and she mentioned to me that her salon was right across the way from where I worked.
Being a hairdresser, Nancy could tell right away that I colored my hair and what kind of work went into it. She could also see exactly how my hair was cut. Hairdressers always know. The trick with hairdressers, is whether or not they can step in and do the same without doing too much to try to impress as a stylist. It's a given that you certainly do not want them to damage your hair either.
I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Nancy's years of talent as a hairdresser. I am not an easy client. There have been a couple days that I have gone in there and I don't know why I haven't been smacked upside the head with a curling iron! Very few hairdressers can cut your hair to your exact request. For me, Nancy does this every time. She really goes out of her way to get to know your preferences for cut and color. As a single woman, I swear that changes with me every day. I am the kind of woman who gets in moods where I think my hair is going to change everything about me and reinvent me.
Nancy has done this with only my vague verbal expressions; which I swear are more of a psychological cry for, "I'm lonely and I need attention," than it is a desire for simple change. As a cliche, I just hate that too. The best part? I still come out looking fantastic!! I have never left that woman's chair unhappy.
Nancy is wise and totally that kind of hairdresser you can talk to. I really think she should also be considered a legitimate therapist. She'll never claim she understands how the world works; but I swear she doesn't realize how much that kind of discretion is utilized in conjunction with her life experience. Nancy styles with all kinds of hair. Her clients go in and come out new, fabulous, and refreshed right down to their soul. I see this because I work right across from her salon.
Everyone leaves with a genuine smile on their face. I think it's safe to say all of her clients, including myself, love her dearly for everything she does. A true miracle worker, I cannot appreciate Nancy enough. Now I commute from Chicago, just to have her do my hair. Hope to see you there soon!! read more
