It depends on who you have to attend to your hair, nails, face and body. It is definitely a salon covering vanity and more for all ages and genders. The women there are not pretentious. The only thing I would appreciate is to have those doing facial and massages to please not eat garlic foods. It is difficult to avoid when these services are up close and personal. read more

Had a facial by Cassandra and literally the best hour of my week. So relaxing. I can't stop touching my face (which I know is counterintuitive) but one of the best pampering experiences ever. 12/10 Recommend. read more

Over the years I have spent a lot of money on manicures, and it has certainly been a luxury that I have not always been able to afford. I thought I had found the perfect place to get my manicures as I had been coming here for a little over a year and I had no issues with the service, nor did I have any issues with the product. One day I had a no-chip manicure appointment with a nail technician that I had seen numerous times and had told me that the salon was switching over to a new nail polish brand; a brand I was not familiar with. The brand that had been used on all of my previous manicures was OPI. She told me that OPI was expensive, limited in colors offered, and hard to get, although, this other brand was less expensive and offered more colors. (Note. they were not charging less money for the cheaper brand of nail polish). I agreed to try this new nail polish because I liked the variety of colors offered. After two days, the nail polish started coming off. I called the salon and explained what happened and asked to speak to the manager. I never received a call from the manager and when I did finally speak to someone at the salon about what had happened, I was asked what had I done for the nail polish to come off. I explained I did everything I normally do when after I have my nails done and reminded that person that I had been coming to the salon for over a year and never had any issues with the OPI nail polish. No one from the salon ever asked me how can the issue be resolved by them. After not receiving a response from a manager, finally, I asked to speak with Vickie, the owner of the salon and when I explained what had happened. She told me that she thought we had spoken already and I advised her that we did not. She never offered any apologies or any offers to resolve the problem. My suggestion, if you are someone who spends a lot of money getting manicures as I do. Hold onto your money and save it for a place that will not use cheap products on you and when you have a valid complaint will at least extend the courtesy and answer your phone calls. read more

I came for a nochip manicure based on a friend's excellent recommendation who has nails that look fabulous and last a month. I needed my manicure to last 2.5 weeks due to a business trip so I tried somewhere new. (Where I was going lasted 3-4wks but increased prices). I was very disappointed in the coverage as they're so thin, they started chipping 3 days later. By one week, 3 more were broken. I compared to another friend and her nails were easily 3x as thick. It also hurt at times due to over filing. I did comment that they were thinner than normal and the tec insisted that if they were thicker, they would lift and that is how they always do them. Sadly I will not return and spend $35 to do this again Two stars because the tec was nice and personable. No one greeted me when I walked in for the first time. Even the strip mall places do that. read more

I made the appointment same day as I sporadically decided to get a trim. My appointment was with Heather, however I did receive a call after I scheduled letting me know Heather will not be in and the owner herself Vickie will take care of me. I was greatly surprised that I even received a call because this is my first time at Vickie's and I did not necessarily have a preference of a stylist but I was honored that the owner herself was going to give me a haircut. She did an excellent job giving me a trim and long layers I am very happy and will definitely go back! read more

I just have gotten my nails done a week ago and my nail already broke. The place itself is fine but do not go to Casey she is super rough and speeds through your appointment. She didn't paint my whole nail on any of them. She also filed my nails very thin so they ended up breaking. Never going back. read more

Extremely disappointed with the services here. My appointment was at 3:15pm and I arrived 10 minutes early. I wasn't greeted until about 3:30pm and the woman named Beth inquired right away what we would be doing. I came in here for a touch up to my hair, and they said that it would be a corrective color and wanted to bleach it. Informed them that was not something I was interested in. Waste of time. Drove very far to come here. Not happy at all. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years! We usually see Gabrielle, she does a great job! Atmosphere is nice and haircuts are not too expensive. read more

I have been going to Vickies for several years now and have always been thrilled with the service. They have a beautiful establishment that is always clean and the staff trained on the latest techniques. I receive hair and nail services from top professionals that excel in their craft. All employees are friendly and welcome me every time I visit and some have even become like family to me. Vickie personally takes pride in overseeing to every detail and customer service is her number 1 priority. I highly recommend Vickies and their staff. Char B read more

My first time here and I can't say enough about the place and staff. Beautiful place and greeted immediately by friendly people, that behind the masks, had a smile for you. Shannon did my no chip manicure and she did an amazing job. Love the atmosphere of the place which is friendly and the focus is on the client and making them feel welcome and comfortable. Made my next appointment already! read more

Worst experience ever!! Came in for highlights with Alice! Had medium brown hair with carmel highlights and wanted to add some blonde! She never once faced me towards the mirror when doing my hair! Put me under a dryer for 25 mins with bleach on! My whole head was fried and my hair was literally falling out! Her comment was then don't touch it!! Seriously??? I have never in my life been treated so rude in a salon! I'm paying for a service and it's your job to know what your doing! She continued with her attitude in which the owner Vickie then came over and attempted to fix the problem but the damage was already done! My normal stylist was out of town and this was definitely a lesson well learned! I was refunded the $85 I was charged the following day minus the product I purchased to try and help the damage! The following week I got into my regular stylist and she couldn't believe the damage that was done to my hair! Bleach bleeds all over the back, hair broken off under bangs and extreme loss on sides and all over! She couldn't believe this was done at a salon! I had to cut off 4 inches throughout my whole head, add low lites to try and make my hair look healthier, pull out the yellow and try and deal with all the breakage that was cause! $162.00 later and the stress this caused is unreal! I called Vickie back to try and recoup my out of pocket to fix this mess and still haven't received a call back! I messaged her and still nothing! When I talked to her the first time the following day she told me that she told all her girls not to refer Alice to anyone unless they request her!! Really?? Why is she still working here? Especially after telling me she gets confrontational with customers if they don't agree with her! I will never visit this salon again! Very poor business practice! If this was done to your hair how would you feel? Thanks for ignoring my messages Vickie, very professional read more

I came in for the first time in 10 years to the new location and left incredibly disappointed. Gabrielle did my color and when she was half way done I asked her why the color was a thin and being applied with a bottle- she explained that she was using a semi permanent and that if I used a permanent I would be left with lines through the outgrowth. I have NEVER used anything but permanent and yes without growth and touchups this is to be expected. My question is WHY would she not ask me about using a semi perm and I would have said absolutely not. Of course it faded and washed out within 3 weeks. Another not so great aspect was the owner on her phone- doing a clients hair discussing taking things out of storage as I was trying to chill and read a magazine under the dryer...not exactly a professional or relaxing environment. Fast forward 3 weeks later I get a call from their PR/marketing person about my experience (very nice woman) and recalled the "tint color" services I received... I explain all of the above and she says she'll get back to me. 2 days later the marketing/PR person gets back to me and tells me that Vicky feels they did their job and I am more than welcome to consult with another stylist Cari (who I used years ago and love still), but that the stylist Gabrielle said that none of what I said was the case. Really?!?! I'm not a stylist- I couldn't make the verbiage or conversation we had up- so now she's trying to make me out to be a liar...silly, stupid move....way to support the customer Vicky! I'll never come back to this salon, or suggesting to others. The PR/marketing lady has a big job ahead of her with this kind of customer service- good luck. read more

My whole life I've found getting my hair highlighted to be not only expensive but stressful, until I met Demitra at Vickies! I called the day of and was assigned to Demitra, she really listened to what I wanted (get the absurd white beach blond wash out, make me look natural blond, not Girls Next Door from E!), and commited to doing a very professional and even job on my hair. Not only did she do wonders for my doo' she also styled my eyebrows with a shape that fit my face and would be easy to keep up between visits (I live downtown, Vicki's is in Wauconda, IL). I'm used to paying $130-$180 per visit to get my hair colored alone, I was pleased to walk out of there paying under $80 with a new color and set of eyebrows! I can't believe I found this diamond in the rough! read more

Very pretty salon, excellent service. I was very happy with my manicure and pedicure. A little pricey for me, so I won't be able to visit super often, but had a great experience. read more

Beth is incredible doing my hair all these years & Jen for my nails ! Love it here! Cozy, relaxing atmosphere.

If you decide to make an appointment here, I highly suggest you confirm the stylist before you hang up AND when you walk into your appointment. I didn't realize that there was a stylist switch until AFTER my hair was done. It wasn't until the girl who worked on me, handed over her business card, that I realized a different stylist had been working on me THE ENTIRE TIME. No one called me, no one confirmed my appointment, NOTHING. The salon coordinator stated that someone was supposed to notify me of the change. Obviously, that didn't happen. Now, onto my hair. I showed the stylist a photo of an ombre/bayalayge effect. I got 1/2 of my hair dip dyed in hair bleach instead. I cried the whole way home AND on top of what I spent at the salon, spent another $20 on boxed hair color to fix the mess. I will say that the owner refunded my money WITHOUT hesitation but I'm still stuck with damaged hair and months of spending more money on products to get my hair healthy again. Needless to say, I WILL NOT be going back to or recommending this salon. EVER. read more

Been going to Vickie's for over 20 years. Feel like they are family. Everyone cares. Beautiful shop, skilled and attentive employees. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else. read more

I have been going to Vickie's consistently for about 3 years now and I see Demitra. She does an excellent job on my hair and like the environment there. I live in Lake Zurich and their Wauconda location is convenient for me. There are stylists with all different hours to accommodate ppl who want to go during the day, evening, weekends, which is nice. It is also very affordably priced for a cut and all-over color...I've heard of people who pay double at other places to have same services done. They also do nails, pedi's and other spa services... Check them out if you need or want somewhere new to try :) read more

Today I took a chance and got a mani @ Vicki's. I'm recovering from a nail fungus, from which I lost my thumb nail. I'm an industry professional, despite that I'm often looking for a quick "cheap" trip to the salon. Salons are places often where you get what you pay for. My technician was Vera, a pleasant friendly tech. Very engaging and kind. It's been many years since I studied nails in beauty school, Vera stayed true to many of those practices I'd long since forgotten. The "quick" nail shops do not practice those tried and true sanitation practices, that take a little longer, but believe me, they're worth it! Those that are here saying its too expensive have no idea why it's worth paying a few bucks more for clean, quality work that looks great. Vera is also a hair designer there, I'll have to give her a try sometime for a haircut. This coming from someone who hasn't paid for a haircut in years. Because I'm in the industry. Vicki's place has allowed me to trust nail technicians again after not being able to do so for a while. Thanks Vera, I had a nice relaxing manicure, and some great conversation! read more

Vickie's staff is so warm and friendly and you are treated like you matter. Lauren is fantastic! Her color and cut always get me compliments. She takes the time to listen and hear what you like and it always turns out great. The nail part of the salon is great too! They always find a way to fit me in and the pedis last for a month or more. read more

Nothing but great things to say about this place! location wise I love where it is located; it is close to both work and home and it is easy to get to and park. I stopped here once just to get brows done because I needed it badly and they were reasonable. The lady did a nice job at cleaning them up. I also just got a mani/pedi there and Hayley is amazing!!! Such a nice person to chat with and she let me try out a few different option before picking a color. Both dried quickly and it was overall quick nail appointment which I loved! They moved fast and I wanted an express pedi which I thought was nice they offered. I did not want to sit there for awhile. Overall, atmosphere is nice and everyone is friendly. I will be back!!! read more

I'm really picky when it comes to hair salons and I am in love with this place!! Amanda does the best job I have ever had with my eyebrows and I love my hair whenever she's cut it, and she does a good job coloring too. I had a massage here once that was amazing as well. Their prices are not cheap, but they aren't obnoxiously expensive either. Been coming here for a few years and even though it's a little drive from McHenry, I will definitely make the trip! :) read more

I've been going to Vickie's for years. Great nail salon and the techs really know their stuff and are extremely friendly and accommodating, not to mention fun to chat with! I've been to many of the hair stylists as well and have always received a great color and cut. I have never left crying, which in my world, is a sign of a good salon. :-) read more

I LOVE this salon! Chelsea is the best and Vickie is so kind. Go here they have great prices! DO NOT GO TO Bevel the owner is SO rude and unaccommodating. Any stylist here would do amazing I just love Chelsea. read more

Thank you for your prompt response from my review two years ago. There's more to the story which I don't believe would be beneficial to even bring up at this point. Good luck, as I try to support all local businesses in our area. read more

I've been going to Vickie's for a couple years now, and I love it and recommend it to all of my friends. My stylist is Amanda and she is great! I get so many compliments on my hair now, and I love it myself. I like that she listens to me about what I want but also gives recommendations if I ask. It's also quite a bit less expensive than the last place I was going, which is a nice bonus. read more

Very nice salon and day spa! Serene and comfortable. I have had both massage and nail services. The salon is very clean and the staff is very professional. Hailey has been both my nail tech and masseuse and does a great job. read more

Vickie's is an expansive salon and spa - I can't believe how big it is. I had a mani/pedi there: my first one since the move to the burbs. Aside from missing the massage chair at the pedi station, this was just like the city - but higher priced! I will go back to try a facial, massage, or body wrap sometime. But I gotta find a cheaper place for a mani/pedi. read more

I love the way Sylwia highlights my hair! It's just how I like it. She is sweet and hilarious so the time just flies, which is good because getting a full foil is not a quick process. I highly recommend Sylwia as a professional and personable hair stylist. Additionally, the prices are very reasonable. :) read more

Love the staff at Vickie's - they do a great job with haircuts! I go to several of the stylists for variety and they are all very talented. I've been going to them for 4-5 years now & have recommended them to friends, who've been very pleased as well. read more

I went to Vickie's for the first time and they were really nice! I loved how they talked to me while they were doing my manicure and pedicure. Even though I forgot who I had she even let me choose a design I was looking at on my phone! Anyways I has a really good experience at Vickie's! read more

I've been going to Vickies salon ever since my moms friend recommended it! My mom and I love the place and the atmosphere! You really get the "spa" like treatment! We love booking our appointments with Gabrielle! She always does a great job on our color and cut! If anyone needs a new hair salon to go to this would be the place to go! read more
