A Message to All...

by tksalon

Teddie Kossof, a trend setting stylist for over 45 years had the vision to create a place like no other...and he did just that. In April of 2010, The Salon which bears his name will be celebrating 35 years of service.

Many salons & spas have come & gone...but TEDDIES has stood the test of time.

Teddie Kossof & it's staff pride themselves on being real people serving the needs of those who wish to be in a friendly family-like environment. Some of the most sought-after stylists & colorists call Teddies their home.

About some of the NEGATIVE REVIEWS:

It's great to be able to write what you feel or think about experiences, however, it is apparent when people go out of their way to put down, hurt & shame someone or something about any business.

I suggest you workout any customer service issues with the business before deciding to review them online. If you are still dis-satisfied, then perhaps the review has merit. So think about who you really hurt when you decide to say what you feel...ALL people in service-related business have the intent to provide good service.

• Pros: A one stop shop for all your beauty needs...
• Cons: we are real people...sometimes we fail like everyone else...

WORST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE!

by rtoqan

Do not go here. I usually go to my place in the city, however i was in the suburbs this past weekend and needed a haircut, figured i'd stop and get one. Biggest mistake ever. The lady cutting my hair had no idea what she was doing, seriously. I had to go yesterday to a different place to get it fixed. It really is the WORST haircut of my life.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: WORST HAIRCUT OF MY LIFE!

Alan Kossoff should be working at Race Track

by thejan2009

Alan Kossoff, supposedely the Manager of this Salon is extremely unprofessional..You should take some lessons before you run this shop into the ground. You need to learn a few things with reference to "Customer Service"..go back to school and learn something!

• Pros: none
• Cons: Expensive Salon, who think's he is on Michigan Avenue

Highly Recommend for Exceptional "downtown" quality and full service.

by ParkRidge1

I have a been a longtime fan of this salon-I found them when I was looking for a place that was open on Sunday as I am so busy during the week, as well as a place that does gel fills for nails. To my knowledge, they are the only salon that offers this service and my salon expert, Vanda is exceptional.

I find it extremely relaxing to spend time there, paricularly with the congenial atmosphere of all the techs, the clients and the stylists. From the moment one walks in, everyone is warm, friendly and attentive.

Additionally, they have an incredible array of beauty products of all types and are very knowledgable about them. This gives the one-stop shopping experience a real thumbs-up!

I always run into friends and have a great afternoon there.

Finally, Alan and Teddie's committment to community involvement is extraordinary. They are well known for contributing and supporting local charities, including Relay For Life and National Night Out Against Crime. If you want a downtown experience at very reasonable prices with expertise, try Teddie Kossof Salon. And there is ALWAYS parking, a true plus in my book.

• Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service, expertise, and product selection.
• Cons: None

This head-to-toe salon on the outskirts of suburban Northfield is the Mall of America of beauty centers.

The Scene
Check in with one of four receptionists and let staffers whisk you from cut to color to cuticle clipping and out the door. While the hectic salon is no place for Zen-like introspection, its energy leaves you feeling invigorated. Common sight: North Shore soccer mom loaded with hair foils next to teeny-boppers getting the latest style.

The Services
Teddie's salon offers haircuts, colors and nail services--ask for seasonal nail menus for fruity, pampering treatments. Stylists and colorists have years of experience, and fiercely loyal clients to show for them. The center also rents space to other body improvement centers. The Brenda Bendel Day Spa is a haven for massage, waxing, facials and professional makeup application. The wellness center provides nutrition counseling, acupuncture and plastic surgery. And the All Smiles dental office makes your pearly whites sparkle.
