A couple of years ago, I moved from New York City to the Chicago metropolitan area; however, I was wearing an afro and did not have need of a stylist. The online reviews for Eseence VIP and Terez were all really good and I decided to make an appointment. It was one of the best decisions that I could have made. Terez and her staff are very professional and timely. I arrived shortly before my appointment and was helped as soon as I walked in the door. Since I was transitioning from an afro back into a perm, I was unsure as to what type of hair cut I really wanted. Terez made that decision and started cutting. As she cut, you could see my hair start to take shape. She gave me a style that is low maintenance, versatile and looks very professional. Terez explained the condition of my hair and then gave me instructions on upkeep, including hair care tips for working out, and she recommended products for home use.
Essence is a beautiful salon with a calm atmosphere and a clean environment. I did not have to spend my entire day in the salon and my style had plenty of shine and the cut was absolutely beautiful. Ever after leaving the salon, I was able to maintain my style with ease and my hair has kept its shine. I recommend Essence and Terez if you are looking for a hair salon where you do not have to spend the entire day in the salon, professional and clean. Terez knows her business and has a calm and soothing presence that immediately puts one at ease.
Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Parking
