I just want to say that Richelle did a great job on my haircut at the Mundelein store. She is the first person to use a shaver after she trimmed off my sideburns. Usually I just have a little stubble left after my haircut, which I don't mind. She just did extra little things that made my haircut Great ! Thanks !

I got my usual Senior haircut from Sandy and it was excellent. I have her cut my hair whenever I'm there and she does a great job. SHe's also very pleasant and upbeat. She's an asset for your salon.
