GINA is a GENIUS! My niece got married today and I went to Illusions to get my hair set for the wedding. Gina is extremely talented, and totally understood what I had in mind.

I showed her a pic of my dress and asked for a half updo that would match the outfit, with a few ringlets cascading down. She delivered spot on.

In addition my now thinning hair, which has been misbehaving, is extremely heavy (a conundrum I know). And typically it goes flat very quickly and then looks like a sad soufflé. I brought a bump-it type thing, and Gina incorporated this into the hair - firmly secured - and for the first time in many years, my hair held up the whole evening without going flat!! It was WONDERFUL! Thank you Gina! I'll be coming back to you again!!

I followed Gina to Illusions a couple of years ago- I haven't let anyone else cut or color my hair in years. Gina always has inspired ideas, and she remembers to be gentle with my sensitive scalp and constantly tangled, long curls (which she never pushes me to straighten- something I very much appreciate). My hair looks fantastic when I leave, and I frequently receive compliments not only from friends & family, but random people I happen to cross paths with will also tell me that they love my hair. Gina is a lovely, kind, very talented stylist, and having my hair done is something I look forward to as a result.

Gina saved my hair!!!! I came to her to fix a terrible cut I'd gotten a couple of weeks ago and she made it all better! She fixed my layers and made it all blend very nicely. I am extremely happy with the way she did my hair, I've already received tons of compliments, and I will definitely keep coming back to her!

I just had the most wonderful experience at Illusions. First, my stylist Gina was a master. She transformed my hair (previously besieged by years of box color, bleach and fantasy colors, and finally several months of burgundy and black) into something I'm actually EXCITED about! I'm most excited to see Gina again so we can do some more work in to lightening my hair a safe and healthy way. She was wonderful in keeping me realistic, and explaining everything she was going to do, and what my options were. The entire staff was exceedingly nice and attentive, even offering sound advice on what I could do with my hair. Seriously, I'm sure that every single staff member talked with me at some point, incredibly friendly all of them.

Gina was a pleasure, and I will definitely be coming back!

I absolutely love Illusions! I searched for years for someone that could cut my hair exactly the way I wanted. I have gotten my hair butchered and messed up for years. I finally found GINA she is fantastic!!!! Fantastic doesn't even begin to explain her. She has never messed up my hair. She spends time and listens to what you want and then works her magic! She's very talented and I'm very lucky to have found her!
