Simply amazing! Yesterday was my second appointment at Essence VIP and I am very, very pleased. I moved here from Florida a little over a year ago and have been desperately searc...

Excellent Service 10/3/2010

I was glad to find a local hairdresser. Finding someone to do your hair well is hard. I don't like harsh chemicals or heavy processes done to my hair. At Essence they are able to do whatever you want to do with your hair. I like to wear my in a wash and go style. The owner Terez, did exactly what I wanted and I got compliments all weekend. The staff is very nice. They spend time on each customer. The shampoo was like a spa treatment (very relaxing). I'm really happy to find a salon that can do all kinds of hair well and the prices are very reasonable! more

Professional Hair Care 9/24/2010

I am not one who is easily impressed by things or people who should do what they do well anyway; I was though impressed with the entire staff at Essence Vip hair salon. The shop is very appealing to the eye, clean and organized. The staff was exceptionally professional and polite from the beginning to the end of my appointment . This was my first visit to the salon on 9/17/10 and the salon's propertier and my stylist Mz. Terez was great. This is a salon that I can see taking care of all of my hair care needs. I will be back! ( I cannot remember your name for sure, I think Romie? you took care of me with my relaxer,etc....you were absolutely great, thank you) more

Great customer service at EssenseVIP 9/13/2010

I met the owner Therese about five years ago at the shop's former location in North Chicago. Due to some commuting issues, I had to find a salon in Gurnee, and started frequenting a much larger, impersonal, well-known salon. One of the few treasures in that salon was Amanda who was my stylists for a good three years before she left that salon. \r \r I walked into Essence VIP looking for a new stylist since no one at the other salon quite matched Amanda in skill nor ""personality,"" and lo and behold: I re-discovered Amanda! She is by far one of the best stylists to touch my hair. I trust her implicitly, and I am always satisfied with the outcome. If I ever win the lottery, Terez is going to lose a sytlist, since I am going to hire Amanda as my personal daily stylist! ;)\r \r I am not very adventurous with my hair, and I usually get a shampoo and style for my long, ever thinning hair, but I have seen Amanda create some beautiful, complicated styles with other clients. She does a wonderful job with my hair!\r \r All the women at EssenceVIP (especially Therese, the owner) seem to enjoy their craft. There is a true sense of comaderie amongst the women and the clients, which creates a very relaxing, jovial ambiance and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. \r \r I would highly recommend EssenceVIP to anyone looking for a unique salon specializing in haircare that complements the many facets/textures of our community. \r \r more

There is none better. Ask for NANCY!! Sharon more

HAIR CARE DONT RIGHT!!! 9/8/2010

I get my hair done on a weekly basis and I love the service that I receive when I am at Essence. The experience starts with a warm and pleasant greeting when you enter; followed by a fantastic shampoo. Ending with the best hair care service that I have found in years; provided by Amanda. Amanda gives me more than a hair style, she makes sure my hair is healthy. I feel lucky to get both.... finally. I receive compliments on my hair all the time and I know it is because of the consistent and EXCELLENT service that I receive from Amanda. SHE IS THE BEST!! more

Excellent Service 9/5/2010

I recently had my hair micro braided by Romie at Essence. She was very professional and considerate of her customer. During the braiding session, I was pleasantly surprised how I had no pain vs when I have had my hair braided at the African shops where I have been in extreme pain.The braides were still tight but I did not have headaches or pain. I had the hair style for one week now and I am still getting compliments. more

Essence VIP makes you feel like a VIP 12/22/2009

Amanda is my stylist at Essence. Amanda is amazing. When I go to the salon I don't have to tell her what to do to my hair. I go into the salon and allow her to create. She never disappoints me. Amanda also does my 12 year old daughters hair. My daughter does not have chemicals in her hair and Amanda works well with JoJo's natural hair. My 14 year old son has a box cut and it is three colors. Amanda colored his hair and he is always getting compliments. I love my weekly experience at essence; definately a 5 star salon. Pros: Relaxing, knowledgeable, friendly more

Outstanding styling and healthy hair & scalp care 12/7/2009

I've been a client of the proprieter, Teresa (Terez) Zigler for more than 20 years. She has always been the very best in the far north suburbs...and I've tried many others. First of all, you can recognize a ""Terez"" hair style. She is the very best at short cuts and all types of color. I've worn my hair very short to shoulder length and she ""works with me"" no matter what my preference at any point in time. I need cut, color and special handling of a sensitive scalp. I have very thick, course hair but every relaxer I have tried burned my scalp. Terez has one that gets me straight but does not burn. My hair is always healthy and strong. Pros: Technically excellent and professional service more

Great Salon!!! 12/2/2009

I am 25 years old and have been frequenting Essence VIP for hair services since I was 15 years old. This salon not only provides great hair styles, but it also promotes healthy hair which is very important for any woman no matter what ethnicity.\r \r My stylist at this salon is Amanda who definitely maintains the same, consistent attitude as Terez (owner)....one being that ""beautiful hair and great styles, don't have to mean unhealthy hair!"" Pros: One on One Attention more

Couldn't Ask for More 12/1/2009

I've been coming to Terez for about two years, and I could not ask for more. Regardless of the role of those working in this salon, everyone is a professional, while at the same time providing a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I have not been disappointed in any of the services I've received, but on the contrary, I've often been very surprised. I've had my hair cut and color treated, and the responses from those who see me, leads me to believe that it will be some time before I go back to my natural color. And all of this at extremely reasonable pricing! This place is a keeper! Pros: Hair care, specifically, coloring, can't be beat! more

Essence VIP - Gurnee, IL 9/22/2009

I recently found Essence VIP online. I emailed Terez explaining the hairloss I endured due to wearing hair extensions for 14 years and the hardship of having ezcema. Terez emailed me back immediately explaining in detail the products she provides that would help me with my damaged hair and scalp sensitivity. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment the following week and was delighted. I couldn't believe the healthy state she returned my damanged hair to. My husband and kids were quite surprised. I found Terez and the staff at Essence VIP to be very caring and professional. I was impressed when she noted the products she used on my hair and kept a record of the styling she did for me. It was great! I felt as if I was in the best hands that I could be in. Thanks so much Terez. Pros: Best Salon Ever!! more
