My old roommate Brenda is amazing!!! She has been doing my pin straight, thick hair for at least 4-5 years now and I get compliments on it all the time (especially when I didn't have time to do anything with it).
She works out of two locations, one in Mokena and the other in Homer Glen on 159th between Wolf and Bell Rd. in the shopping strip with Ace Hardware.
The Homer Glen location is ###-###-#### and the Mokena location is ###-###-####. She goes to school also so she doesn't work a great deal of hours, but call and they will let you know when she is in and get you scheduled.
She's very good at coming up with ideas and also going off of any pictures you bring in. She also tends to ask alot of questions to get the feel of what kind of maintenance you are up for and how you usually like to wear your hair so that the style can be accomodating. Many friends of mine have gone to her and she did all the hair for me and my girls in my wedding (which she was in also) and my sister in laws for her wedding. She's good.
Have fun!!
