I look AMAZING!
I was looking for a place to get my eyebrows stenciled and saw the Kiss FM review proclaiming Claudia as the best waxer in Chicago. When I called for an appointment I was instructed to let my brows grow out as much as I could, so I went au natural for a week and 1/2. When Claudia finished, I was amazed at how perfect my brows were. What a difference! It made me look vibrant and refreshed.
I went to check out and saw a parade of women checking out with some of the best hair I have ever seen, and I think I'm pretty savvy with that stuff. It was time for my next hair cut, which usually last me 5 weeks. Since I am new to the downtown area I scheduled an appointment with Melinda, wanting the best. I found out she was the owner later. At my appointment she spent the time asking me questions about my lifestyle and ideas for my hair. She explained to me what a precision hair cut is and proceeded to show me with her hands how she thought the look I wanted to achieve would look best. It was worth EVERY penny. Her cut was so good, that it has lasted me 8 weeks. In this economy, that says alot. I have never been complemented on my look as much as I have in these past few weeks..... Even got a hot date!
I was looking on city search for something else and saw other reviews that were not at all like my experience. They sound like past employees who got fired :) or people wanting to get a cheap service! You get what you pay for, and I have never heard of a salon that negotiated on price. The staff couldn't have been more attentive and it was the cleanest salon I have been to. There wasn't a spec of dust in the place. I loved all the orchids everywhere and felt like I was in the Botanic Gardens.
I am booking in this week for a cut and eyelash extensions. One of the assistants let me actually touch theirs and I was sold. I met a client in there that said she had been getting them done for the past four years at Roque. Can't wait to see what look they are going to create for me this time.
