I joined the YMCA in hopes of losing weight. I have a 18 month old little boy and he is very shy and clingy to mommy so a good childcare while I workout is very important and he loves the staff at this Y. I love the staff at this Y. They are nice and very helpful with all of my needs. They offer great programs for my children and myself. Because I am a member there are classes I can take for free, my kids get into the programs at a reasonable price and we all have a great time. This particular gym has an abundance of equipment for working out so I never have to wait no matter what time I come in. The only down fall to the Y for me is that they close around 9-10 and sometimes I would like to go even later. I would like to be able to go whenever I wanted to.

This gym is pretty good. There is a decent amount of cardio equipment and weight equipment. The one thing you have to deal with is the overflow of students (if you are not a student). It tends to get extremely busy in the evenings. One thing that is difficult is the fact that you can only stay on the cardio equipment for 20 minutes during peak hours and there is no child care. Definitely geared towards singletons and marrieds with no kids- not for families.

Walgreens has very high prices in my opinion, but somehow is a very good store to find bargains at. Every month they have different items that are free after rebate in their EasySaver catalog. If you choose to get your rebate back on one of their gift cards they give you an extra 10% back. They also have decent weekly sales with in store coupons that you can combine manufacturers coupons with to get some awesome deals. I usually go to the new one on Prospect. They knowledge of coupons and how to work the register seems to vary depending on who is working, but overall I have received pretty good service.

I went to the Regis salon in the mall. My appointment was at 10:00 and the place didn't even open until 10:15. The person who cut my hair kept on leaving to answer the phone and help people walking in. I had to leave at 11:30. I thought that 1.5 hrs should definitely be enough time for a simple haircut. At 11:30 she wasn't done and I had to come back later in the day for her to finish. It was a pretty good haircut, but I think that I could find somewhere who would do it in less than 2.5 hrs.

There's two kinds of tattoo joint- the professional art studio and the amateur doodle den. This is the latter.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt in spite of their attitude, and wound up with a tat that was so bad I started fading the thing a year later. Don't make the same mistake I did... go somewhere else. I'm amazed this place is still in business.

This is a popular place to go for body piercings on the University of Illinois campus. It is convenient enough to walk to if you are a student and don't have a car on campus. They have a good selection of body jewelry and they do a professional and sterile job of body piercing in a seperate room in the shop. The prices are pretty comparable to other body piercing places on campus.

The stylist is a nice person. Many Asians here recommend her and you know, it is very difficult for Asians to find a stylist who knows how to cut Asian hairs. The stylist is a Japanese. She asked me whether I wanted a funcky hair or a regular one. I think she used another word, instead of "regular." Anyway, I chose the regular one but I didn't really like the result. Too "docile." So next time I will choose funcky one. Don't remember the price but it is cheap.

Coupons for $8.99 Haircuts can be found in bargain books throughout C-U and occasionally in the News Gazette. Going to great clips for a haircut is worth the value when you have a coupon. I've been there about 6 times and have been happy with the stylist 5 of those times.

Sometimes it's hard to find a great stylist on campus. Keep looking though because you probably won't find one here. They stylists seem very nice but the price versus the style is not worth it. The products are also really expensive compared to other places. I had a bad experience with a dye job once (I will never try brown again!) and I was so disappointed because the stylist did NOTHING that I had requested and instead gave me this awful all one color brown. Friendly staff, not good styles.
