Good To Go Studio

I drove by Good to Go Studio a thousand times before finally spotting it one day. I hoped the studio took «walk ins» as I was desperate for an immediate haircut. Sure enough, Portia, studio owner, greeted me with a warm smile, had time to fit me in and had me take a seat. Portia is very talented and always knows just what I want. I’ll take in a photo of the haircut I want and she gets it to a «tee». If I don’t have enough hair for a particular style, we work together to grow, style, cut and in time, we get there. I hear she’s equally talented with color application, though I’ve not had color treatment (yet). I’ve recommended friends who are «afraid» of seeing someone new and Portia «WOWS» them every time. Her rates are reasonable, she’s established in a cozy niche in the North Loop area and is involved with bettering our community. She’s working on expanding her studio, though sadly the remodeling project is at a temporary standstill. So, go see her, and tell all your friends. As soon as her expansion is complete she’ll be offering massage and an array of other sundries.

UPDATE 82 209: Whoever owns the building at 207 E 53^rd Street is obviously an unfair, underhanded landlord. I went to Portia at Good To Go Studio for years. In the last year she was SO excited as she rented the opposite corner of the building and had TWO spaces leased. After a great deal of remodeling, expense, and sheer excitement at expanding her business, seems the landlord got a better offer from «new, other» tenants and greed overtook his morals. Portia was evicted from the shop with no notice, and lost all of her investments into the recent improvement and remodeling and the additional space she had leased. This totally sucks. I heard through the grapevine that Portia was renting a chair in some shop out at Lakeline Mall, which ended up being temporary. Latest news is that she and her teen son moved to Oklahoma. Portia you are greatly missed. I’ve made a personal desicion to ban whatever present/​future businesses exist at 207 E 53^rd Street. My apologies to those renters/​businesses that rent from the building owner. Beware of this building owner, you never know… one day YOU might show up to run your business and told you must leave with no notice! My decision to BAN this building is the only way I know how to NOT patronize the owner of this building in any way whatsoever.
