Worst Spa Ever I have been a professional, licensed massage therapist for over ten years and I just got back from a job interview with them. The woman conducting the interview, upon reviewing my work history, was kind enough to say "listen, before I continue this interview, I want you to know that Tony is paying massage therapists $10. per hour. I don't want to waste your time." I was in utter shock to say the ... Read More On CitysearchMonibug 1/11/2010
Boring and safe I didn't like this salon at all. They are great about offering you a seat, and bringing you something to drink, but this place isn't exactly cutting edge for being a sort of stuffy looking salon. I always look at the different stylists hair, and the clients hair when I go to somewhere to get my hair done, and I was bored when I went in this place and looked around. I went there for a color consul... Read More On CitysearchSwooziewho 3/31/2008
They really care about you and not just taking your money I made an appointment for full higlights after a friend of mine had hers highlighted there. It would have been my first time there. I called to let them know that I was going to be about 20 minutes late. I was told that I had to reschedule...the receptionist explained in detail to me that since I was a new client, I was scheduled time for a consultation as well as the service. The stylist wou...

Front desk Great! Amazing Cut! The front desk was very helpful and upbeat. Conor gave me one of the best haircuts of my life. I will be back for sure! I have recommended this place to everyone! Read More On Citysearchjmd77 12/3/2007
Best Highlights in Chicago I had my first appt with Kara @ Gordons Salon a few months ago and recently came back. I highly recommend her if you are a blonde or have ever thought about being a blonde. I can be very picky and I appreciate that she took the time to REALLY listen to what I wanted. Talented, friendly, and affordable! Cheers to great hair! Read More On Citysearchlt79 11/26/2007
Receptionists are snobby I love the stylists at this place, but the receptionists are very rude--I have been there two times now and they are very unwelcoming and unfriendly.

Brittany is amazing! I've been going to Brittany for quite some time now. She has really been the best stylist I have ever had. I was a brunette when I started going there and Brittany helped transform my hair to the most beautiful, natural looking blonde with subtle highlights and low lights. She's not only amazing at coloring, but her haircuts are so creative and masterfully done. She really pays attention to d... Read More On Citysearchblondie2626 10/12/2007
Are you kidding? Poor Customer Service! I called to say I would be 15 minutes late and was told I'd have to reschedule for another time because I was the stylist's last appointment of the day and because I was a new client. If I was the last appointment, then what was the big deal? At least I had the courtesy to call ahead. I was going to try this salon because my usual stylist was booked up for 2 weeks. Don't b...

Need some Fantastic Color ask for Melissa Being a self proclaimed colorist with my own concoctions of dyes and my own pair of hair scissors it takes a lot for me to be professionally groomed.
But over a the years Melissa has weened me off the box dyes and bathroom chop jobs and has given my hair a new life.
She makes a point of really understanding a color and cut idea when you have something specific in mind and also makes really go... Read More On Citysearchawilsonphoto 8/14/2007
TONY GIVES GOOD HAIR Hot Diggety Dog!!! I went to Tony at the suggestion of a friend and was so completely glad that I did. I think it was the first time in my 33 years on this earth that I had such a detailed consultation about what do do with my hair. He had such a calm and sweet way about him too. He was so cool about everything. Hands down, the best cut I've had in a while! :) Read More On Citysearchfotogrl 8/10/2007
Horrible Customer Service, Tony Gordon is full of himself and should not be running an Aveda salon I had horrible customer service at Gordon Salon. I showed up for an appointment for service listed on their website, a perm and they didn't have the rods. They did not offer to help me find a place, or re-book the service. They just let me walk out. In fact, Tony Gordon called me to say that if I would agree to get future perms with them then they'd buy the rods. He also said he's one of the ...

Hair Stylist and Esthetician Can't Get Any Better! I used to be a salon "hopper" because I never found a stylist that I absolutely loved, until I went to Jen. I've been going to her for well over a year now and she does the BEST COLOR! I have never once left without loving my color and I'm extremely picky! She is also very easy to talk to and I no longer have to dread those awkward conversations with a stylist.
As if finding the best colori... Read More On Citysearchkmc321 3/28/2007
Customer service needs some work... So my amazing girlfriend surprised me with a massage from Gordon in Lakeview for Valentine's Day. I called and made my apointment for the evening of 2/22 and showed up excited for the hour long experience to come. I was told upon arrival that there had been a mix up and the massage therapist was not there and that I needed to reschedule. I was obviously disappointed but Pam, the girl working the ...

CJ is fantastic I have this problem where I often cut my hair myself...and tend to do so if I don't like a professional haircut that I've received. Thankfully, CJ can always make my disasters into a fashionable hairdo and I never have the urge to get the scissors out after one of her cuts. I've been going to her for about two years now and have never been disappointed. Read More On Citysearchpubloy 2/26/2007

Ask For Eric Plfeider!!!!!!! I have had my hair colored red/brown for years, and it is one of the hardest color to achieve and maintain. Eric P did a FANSTASTIC job .

I will go back again and again and again. Eric and the salon are the ... Read More On Citysearchajh130666 9/15/2006

Not the best at manicures... Everything in the manicure was great except for the cuticle work and polish job. It is blotchy and uneven. My cuticles look terrible. The whole service is done practically in the dark with the exception of a small table lamp. It looked fine until I walked outside and saw it in the light. It was $20, and I guess you get what you pay for. I won't be back there for nail services. Read More On Citysearchsosurvivalsick 7/22/2006

Go To This Salon! I've been to several other salons in the Lakeview area and I have to say that Gordon in Lakeview is the best I've gone to. On Friday I saw Jen and have nothing but the highest words of praise for them all. The staff was incredibly friendly, the prices reasonable, and the end results (I got a 3/4 head of highlights and haircut) were stunning! I've never had more compliments on my hair and it ha...

Fab Facial! I had received a facial last week by Randi, the esthetician. It was amazing!!! I have been going to many spas all over Chicago(mainly downtown) and I was very impressed with the treatment and level of relaxation at Gordon's. I didn't expect a foot soak!!
