My husband and I spent the long weekend in Chicago, hailing from the east coast. After several relaxing massage treatments at the James Hotel I decided to get my hair styled. The receptionist here suggested JM ..
My overall impression is this salon is top-notch. The receptionists were warm and professional and the setting was soothing (considering the amount of business going on).. but CHARLES is the reason I?m writing my first Citysearch review. He?s a truly gifted stylist. He had a sweet twinkle in his eye when we first met and we slipped into easy conversation. He listened well to what I wanted and explained each step along the way. I ended up with piecy but glam style that is simply THE BEST I?ve ever had ? anwhere ? New York, DC, Boston??. Leaving the salon, I could say I almost felt celebrity- like!
My only hopefully constructive criticism is that the styling area could use a deep clean. Nothing an all-hands-on-deck clean-a-thon and paintfest wouldn?t solve.
Ps. If you have frizzy or textured hair you must ask Charles about his no-towel drying technique. It will transform your hair into lovely ringlet curls!
Pros: great product lines, Charles is a gifted stylist (and a sweetie)
