Best Hair Salon in the North Suburbs 4/12/2008

Since moving to the North Suburbs 7 years ago, I have had a hard time finding a good hair salon. I started going to Essence VIP in the summer of 2007. I was recovering from surgery and my hair was in terrible condition. When I walked into the salon, Terez diagnosed the problems, applied the right conditioners and I walked out with my hair looking better than it had in years. I've been going to her ever since. The shop on Milwaukee Ave. in Gurnee is a beautiful and serene. You never have to wait for service, the staff is friendly and professional. I'm glad I finally found Essence VIP. It's the best in the North Suburbs. Thank you, Terez. Keep up the good work!! Pros: Great location, serene friendly atmosphere, wonderful results, professional hair care Cons: Can;t think of any more

Essence VIP Salon caters to the customer from the inside out! A+++++ services. 3/6/2008

My experience at Essence VIP Salon was priceless! Terez is a seasoned professional who is well versed in Black hair care. She takes time to evaluate the condition of your hair before counseling. Further, her staff is not only highly professional, but well trained. Terez is skilled at scalp treatments, relaxers, precision cuts, wellness treatments, etc. Her pricing structure is affordable and reasonable. Essence VIP salon is truly Lake County's rare gem! Pros: Seasoned professional who is highly trained in ethnic hair care Cons: None! more

Great, quality haircare! 3/5/2008

I have been going to Terez/Essence ever since I was in high school. She has always provided great haircare and my hair is very healthy. It was only that I went to a salon with cheaper prices did I realize how you get what you pay for. My hair got damaged by two other beauticians, but Terez always knew how to repair my hair. I always get compliments on my hair wherever I go. She is great and so is Sam! I hope she never retires or I don't know what I will do for haircare. Keep up the great work and I will see you soon for my next appointment. Monica G. Pros: Great haircare Cons: High prices more

The Best Salon In Lake County!!!!! 3/3/2008

I started going to Essence VIP in June of 2007. I can't believe how wonderful my looks. Every place I go, people are constantly asking me "who does your hair?". Terez is very professional. She not only cares about your hair, she also cares about your health. She believes that your hair can only look good if you take of yourself from the inside out. I really appreciate how she listens to what I want to do with my hair and then advises me on whether or not it will be good for my hair. Samantha is also very helpful with suggestions on color. She really does a great relaxer also!! "You go Sam!" I will be a lifetime customer of Terez and Essence VIP. Pros: Ambience, Great Service, Professional Cons: None! more

Best hair care experience anyone could ask for 2/26/2008

I was going to have surgery on my right shoulder and needed a hair cut I could manage. I needed to maintain a professional well groomed look without the use of my right hand. Terez gave me the perfect cut and gorgeous color. She had usable advise on how to maintain the short sassy hair style she gave me. I manage a hospital department where appearance is key!! She did an excellent job. She listened to my needs and sculpted her experise to give me the look I wanted and the help I needed. She has a customer for life. Pros: Years of experience show. Takes pride in her work. Cons: NONE more

Great salon and atmosphere 2/15/2008

Whenever I arrive I'm always nicely greeted by the staff. I never have to wait and my services are started right away. It's beautifully decorated and cozy. In the past I visited salons where I'm sitting to myself thinking "I should have packed a lunch." That is never the case. She also has literature she has written about the most benefical way to maintain my style and hair care at home, very detailed stuff. I mean she even included what vitamins one should takedaily. Never in my life have I been so satisfied with salon services like I recieve at Essence V.I.P. I've been having my hair professionally cared for all my life, and having relocated here I saw one of her clients at Gurnee Mills and she reccommened Terez to me If only I would have gotten her name I would personally thank her. Go check it out. more
