Maria does a great job for very low prices. She's actually been serving Hyde Park customers, mostly women, for over thirty years. There is a large parking lot across the street by Harper Court, and her shop is in the Hyde Park Bank Building, on the 8th floor. It's right by Borders. She is a very sweet woman and really knows her stuff. Overall a very good experience every time I've gone. Oh - I don't think she takes credit cards so bring cash or checks. And she's often there to answer the phone & work on Sundays but I don't think she's open. Otherwise, she's at that tiny shop & open for business all day Tuesdays through Fridays.
Pros: very low prices, personable service, convenient location
Cons: not open mondays
