Polished and Chic Salon & Boutique offers a variety of services tailored to meet every client's needs. The Salon exudes warmth and style, a highlight of owner Lisa Cascio's vision and the camaraderie among her talented staff.
Polished and Chic started as a small salon in Park Ridge, in 2015. As the business expanded, Cascio outgrew her space and moved to the larger bustling Hillsdale location. Her loyal team, MaryAnn Santos and Deborah Ernst, whose stories intertwine with Cascio’s, moved with her. Santos fondly recalls, "I started working with Cascio in 2003 and followed her when she started Polished and Chic in 2015.” Ernst joined later, drawn in by Cascio's leadership and the promise of a collaborative, empowering, and nurturing workplace. "I took a chance, and it's the best thing I ever did." Ernst shares enthusiastically.
Both Santos and Ernst are accomplished hair stylists. Santos with 30+ years of experience, excels in highlighting, lowlights, balayage, and versatile cuts. She is passionate about hair health and offers services like Keratin and Brazilian Blowout. And Ernst brings over 35 years of expertise, specializing in color, blonding, and extensions. Certified in Great Lengths extensions and Micro Point for synthetic hair density solutions, she transforms hair with finesse and dedication.
Adding to the team's dynamic is Christian Tufaro, a talented hairstylist and makeup artist whose arrival has enriched Polished and Chic's service offerings including both lived-in and fantasy hair colors. "I also do makeup, anything from a natural look to special events like proms and weddings," Tufaro beams.
Cascio, a seasoned nail technician with a full cosmetology license, has over three decades of experience. Her success in opening a full service salon reflects her passion and devotion to the community as well as her craft. Client satisfaction is paramount at Polished and Chic.
The team's dedication to meeting client expectations extends beyond the salon chair. Polished and Chic prides itself on offering an inclusive and welcoming environment. With a focus on caring and personalized attention, the team proudly fosters the salon's commitment to positivity and well-being.
As summer transitions into fall, Polished and Chic anticipates the beauty challenges their clients may face. Santos and Ernst suggest seasonal treatments like shine glazes and deep conditioning to revive hair post-summer. "After summer, hair tends to get brassy and dry. A glaze and deep conditioning can work wonders," Ernst advises, reflecting their expertise in haircare.
Looking ahead, Polished and Chic is enthusiastic to welcome new clients and add new services. "We're always evolving to meet our clients' needs,'' Cascio affirms, “We are excited about future relationships and possibilities."
Reflecting on its success, Cascio credits the salon’s supportive atmosphere and the team’s dedication. "It's about trust. We trust each other and our clients trust us, not just with their hair and nails, but with themselves.”
With a commitment to excellence and a friendly approach, Polished and Chic Salon continues to shine as a beacon of beauty in Hillsdale. Whether it's a fresh manicure, a trendy hairstyle, or a friendly chat, clients leave the salon feeling pampered and confident and just as the name suggests… Polished and Chic.
