The salon is actually under a new name...SALON LOTUS...It's all the same staff. I go to Northwestern so it's super convient that its located so close to campus. They have some really great specials going on right now so its totally budget friendly! I used to go to Olga (the waxer) when she worked there and she was not friendly and was always moving my appointment around,which was so annoying that i actually stopped going there for waxing. But i found out that they got a new girl so i tried her and she gave me a great Brazzillian! Her name is Sandra,she is so nice and has more hours availible which is so much better with my classes. I just really like it there the entire staff is so friendly.

• Pros: Friendly staff with high skill level
• Cons: parking can be tricky

I love going to George Salon. The atmosphere is so comfortable; all the staff and stylists make you feel very relaxed. They are very professional, but not pretentious (like many North Shore salons). Anyway, I've gone to a few different stylists there and I have never had a bad experience. It's also nice that they offer a variety of price ranges (with different stylist levels) to meet every budget. I've gone to several different level stylists, and all have done a great job. I've been going here for the past few months to get back to blonde after dying my hair nearly black, and somehow they have nurtured it back to blonde without destroying my hair. Plus, they are very knowledgable about products for my hair- I am addicted to their Kerastase products! Oh, and they always have good music playing!

• Pros: Color service, great staff, relaxed atmosphere

Oh no!

Olga does not work there anymore! Oh my, well barely any reason to come back anymore.

The salon is now run by a new owner and the manager seems to have more control than ever.

I do not suggest going because without Olga here, there is no joy of having a good laugh.

I wonder how business will hold up now since there shall probably be many changes.

I have recently been in touch with Olga and she is still working. You can probably still come to see her.

• Pros: The stylists are nice.
• Cons: Their manager is NOT nice.
