We moved to Buffalo Grove many years ago and found Bearj Antonio salon 4 years ago. Initially, we went to Bearj to get our nails done by Rita, a Russian-Armenian nail technician. She introduced us to Bearj and Eddie and we started to get our haircuts at the salon. My sister and I enjoyed the haircuts but every time the price seemed just a lot more than we wanted to pay. Last year, Rita left the salon because she got in yet another fight with Bearj. Both my sister and I stopped going to the salon because we love the way she does our nails. I've seen Bearj be verbally abusive to his employees and to several clients (I don't think they are clients anymore). Rita, like many other employees, moved on. So did we. I would not recommend this salon. Sure, Bearj does a good job. But so do many many other stylists in the area. Go to Norma at AF salon across the street--three times cheaper and better than at Bearj's. Oh, and I hate when people that do my hair don't speak English to others while taking care of me.
Pros: ok cut, good location
Cons: rude, extremely expensive, inconsiderate
