Great Place!

by Bonbon

I've gone to Anna George for several years, initially for convenient shape-ups between appointments with my regular stylist. They are always accommodating to my schedule and get me in immediately. I've had several stylists work on my hair and have never gotten a bad cut from anyone at this salon. One day the fates put me together with Colin, who is now my regular stylist. He is amazingly talented because he has a great sense of style and actually listens. I've lived in this city for eleven years, and Colin is the first stylist who cut my (rather difficult) hair the way it needs to be cut instead of giving me the latest trend. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

• Pros: Best Haircut in Eleven Years

Best Salon Good Service

by jverg

I have been going to Anna George Salon for years. I know everyone who works there, they are all very friendly. The manicurists are sweet, I take whoever is available since I call the last minute and they accomodate me. I have never had a bad experience. This is a very busy salon. There are at least ten

manicurists. You get a great service for a good price. I like that they can do manicures and pedicures at the same time because of my schedule. They guarantee their work, if your polish chips, they will redo it or you can request someone else. For kel123 who assumed she spoke to the owner, I can tell you she has not been there. You have to call , leave a message and she will call you back. She is very caring and professional.

• Pros: Convenient, friendly, relaxing atmosphere

The Absolute Worst!!

by kel123

I will never go back to this place and I am telling everyone I know to stay away. The emplyees were all terribly rude (including the owner) and I have never felt so rushed to pick out a polish color.... it was a horrible experience to say the least.... not to mention the worst mani I have ever gotten. Chipped after 2 days....

Anna George is a great full service salon

by kathleenpadilla

I have been a client of Anna George Salon for over 2 years and personally think the reviews written by je233 and rlmrlm are in essence, BS. The staff has always been very friendly & profesional. I love my stylist (Lili) and have received nothing but the best service by their manicurists. Anna has been a successful business woman in the Chicago area for many years. I serious doubt she would be able to have this success if she employed rude and obnoxious people on her staff. Did either of these two bother to call Anna and tell her what happened? Did they get this persons name? Did this really happen? Or, for whatever reason, they decided to trash the salon all over the web because they can remain anonymous? It?s a great salon and if you thought about going, go. Decide for yourself. And by the way, it can get busy on Saturdays so make sure you have an appointment. I know, I?ve been there.

• Pros: Full service
• Cons: parking around the salon can be expensive, take the train!

Anna George is the best

by labrnth2012

I agree with julieannmac - People are always selling coupons and passing out pamphlets downtown. I've never had a bad experience with Anna George. I have-however- heard of rival sales teams encouraging the employees to create bad reviews by word of mouth and suprisingly now thru the internet blogs and review sights. I can only go by my experience, and it was very very good. by the way - i bought my coupon downtown and saved alot on the cost of prime services. They did not treat me any different than a full paying customer. That is why I continue to go back.

• Pros: it's all good
• Cons: none for me and my friends

I like Anna George Salon

by julieannmac

Wow, I have never had a problem here. I have just had manis and pedis, but the staff was quite nice and friendly to me. It is a very busy place, there are always a ton of customers in there. I don't think they would be as busy as they are if the employees were rude. As far as passing out pamphlets, that is done all of the time downtown. I can't imagine someone using that language when they are representing the salon. There is no way to verify that it actually happened. Anyway, I like the place.

Professional and Friendly Full Service Day Spa

by curlygirl1015

The Anna George salon was a recommendation from a co-worker. This salon gives the best spa service in the downtown area and the prices are very reasonable. I see Rosemary for my weekly manicure and she is professional and friendly and takes very good care of my nails. I have also received pedicures, waxing and hair services and have been very pleased with the results. Even though the salon is busy they accommodate my schedule even with very last minute requests. I give Anna George an A+ for service and value.

• Pros: They are open 7 days a week and have an experienced staff.
• Cons: It may be difficult to find.

money well spent

by alicebaner

I CAME TO THE SALON HIGHLY RECOMENDED BY MY CONCIERGE IN DOWNOWN SHERATON. THE SERVICE MET ALL MY EXPECTATIONS OF A DOWNTOWN QUALITY AND THE PRICES WERE PRETTY LOW. WONDERFUL FRENCH MANICURE AND PEDICURE AND EYEBROW WAX BY AN EASTERN EUROPEAN STAFF!

• Pros: CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, PLEASANT AND PROFFESIONAL SERVICE
• Cons: NOT IN MY HOTEL, BUT EASY TO FIND

One-stop for all pampering needs!

by liane59

Anna George is one of the best kept salon secrets in Chicago. Conveniently located in Illinois Center, the Salon has everything from manicures and pedicures to haircuts and massages. I've been a customer for almost 20 years. I've tried other salons just for the heck of it but none stack up to Anna George. In fact, I'm there every 2 weeks. Inna, Alma and Lilliana are the best for manicures, pedicures. Tom is an amazing colorist and stylist. I wouldn't let anyone cut my hair, EVER! Marina for waxing, no fuss. If you need product, they have an amazing selection. Service is top-notch. Always on time and always friendly and courteous.

• Pros: Full-service, friendly, high-quality color, cut and nail services
• Cons: None

No need to go anywhere else.

by jennhogg

Anna George is a full-service salon worth seeking out in the city. They can satisfy all of your pampering needs and it all starts with the front desk. The staff goes out of their way to get you the appointment you want and the place is a well-oiled machine ? always on time, superior service, and at some of the best prices in town. Their manicures and pedicures are my personal favorite (I have been loyal to Liliana every two weeks for the last 8 years). Friends and co-workers constantly comment that my perfectly polished nails are part of my signature style. While I have not experienced all of their services personally, of the many I?ve tried, I can say without hesitation that I was completely satisfied. Added bonus?. they carry an AMAZING and VAST supply of products from the latest polishes to top-of-the-line hair care systems. What else could a girl want?

• Pros: They value you and it shows
• Cons: None
