dont let the gold coast address fool you....

by modestyiskey

J. andrews can accommodate anyone. Im a woman of color in my early 20's and im super particular about my hair . I left j.andrews salon feeling great about my hair. I saw nicole ( who is a total sweetheart) . she did a great relaxer , haircut and blowout. my hair was smooth shiny and bouncy , and not weighed down with product ( a practice most salons get into the habit of doing with ethnic hair)and the haircut was exactly what i asked for ( coco chanel if she were the lead singer of a punk band :). she recommended great products for me and made sure to help me come up with a plan of attack for growing my hair out . i see her regularly for trims and blowouts and cant wait to see what she can do with my color!!

Pros: music , great customer service , super chill environment

Cons: none

High Maintenance and Perm-free....

by UglyDuck

Forget Alyssa - she's nice and all, but Nic is MY MAN! I've been going to him since 1995 and he kindly told me that it was time for me to retire my perm. And thank God - I've never looked better since, I swear. Nic cuts and colors my hair and does a great job. I'm pretty picky/high maintenance, so the fact that Nic can a) cut and color my hair to my great satisfaction and b) put up with my high standard ridiculousness, says a lot for his expertise as well as his personality. Nic helped me through the "OMG it's time to color my ENTIRE head of hair due to grays" stage and my hair still looks very natural even though the color is all fake! He's very good at taking your hair lighter or darker, too, so it looks natural. I consider Nic and his wife Kim to be good friends and like family. I really look forward to my appts. at J. Andrews Salon because of this (plus they give you wine if you want it!), as well as seeing the other friendly/fun stylists there. Sorry, Alyssa, my loyalties lie with Nic....

Pros: Family atmosphere

Cons: Still waiting for a place to put my drink & mags, Nic...

Great Salon

by shopgirlgrace

My neighbor told me about this salon and her stylist Alyssa. I went for highlights and cut. I am very picky about my highlights because they can look "over done", but Alyssa spent about 10 minutes consulting with me about my like and dislikes. After it was all said and done my hair was perfect! I love the color and the cut was just the update that I needed. She even took the time to show me exactly how to style my hair. The salon was great and the stylist was even better!

Pros: Great service, good price

Cons: Parking

Beautiful, professional, creative!

by abby_theuring

I had my wedding hair and make up done here. I had the practice appointment, an extra high-lighting appointment and the wedding day with 2 bridesmaids and my sister who was 18 and not really into the salon thing. They we so nice to my sister, gave her things to read and a comfortable chair to sit in while she waited with us. They knew exactly what we were talking about when we described what we wanted with our hair ( I KNOW that you have had this problem). I had a very unusual hair style and it was perfect. People raved about my hair and make up the whole night.

Pros: professionalism and knowledge

Cons: none

Great haircut and conversation

by leimen

If you're a guy - take note: Nic not only cuts hair expertly, he actually listens to what you have to say and tries very hard to work with what you've got. I've never left there once feeling as though I didn't look considerably better than when I came in the door - whether you want to keep your hair long or go for short, it will work out. The staff is routinely friendly and attentive to the needs of their customers. The atmosphere is calm and relatively relaxing, which can be a good thing if you're a bit wound up. An additional bonus - the music is relatively eclectic, which can be kind of fun - it's the only place in Chicago that I'm aware of that occasionally plays Herbert Groenemayer.

Pros: Quality of haircut and ambience

Cons: Parking

User review by jeweler

by jeweler

This salon is the place to be if you want to treat yourself and take a break from the fast pace of city life. Everyone is pleasant and friendly. Nick is an artist at hairstyling. The ambiance is soothing and includes original artwork on the walls (that is for sale!) The facial room is serene and fragrant. Kim makes me feel special.

Pros: Reasonable price, They took their time, Ambiance

Cons: Parking

Average Salon, Nice Stylist

by lindsay16

I got my haircut here recently and left feeling underwhelmed. My hair looked fine, but it was nothing special for the amount I paid. My stylist was very nice and talkative, but I don't think I'll be back. Nothing to call home about.

I have been seeing one of the stylists for over 10 years and she is the best. This is a nice quiet salon that I would recommend to anyone. A true gem.

Great service, with a smile.

by prncess01

I found this salon on Citysearch and gave it a try. It was a really good experience. The receptionist was nice enough but the actual cut and color were outstanding. On top of that my stylist Alisa was down to earth and friendly. I will continue to go back.

Pros: Fair priced, relaxing
