Vickie’s offers Wauconda a spa experience
Walking into Vickie’s Personal Touch Full Service Salon and Day Spa, Waconda IL one immediately can sense a personable environment with splashes of colorful walls to known brand product lines.
Cosmetologist and businesswoman Vickie Laureys has spent 35 years in her profession since graduating from Palatine High School in 1974. The first 12 years she worked for Personal Touch Salon on Main Street in downtown Wauconda and by 1986 she purchased the business and building, dubbing it
Vickie’s Personal Touch.
The certified cosmetologists became involved in the Hairdressers Association of the Northwest suburbs and was its president from 1981-83. Vickie said at that time that the cosmetic industry was evolving into quick services or exclusive day spas. She gradually expanded the business, making a room on the first floor for spa services to see if it was right for her clientele. Her hunch was on target, so she remodeled the upstairs into a day spa.
“I love the day spa, because it gives me more one-on-one (time) with a client,” Vickie said.
Most recently the businesswoman purchased a plat of land at 349 S. Barrington Road and built a new building and opened it in September 2007. The square-footage increased from 3,000 to 7,300, doubling the number of hairstyling stations from seven to 14. The salon’s 33 hair-care services are used the most in Wauconda, requiring the most staff, Vickie reported. Also available are 31 nail services, 23 wax services, 14 facials, five massages, five body and wrap treatments, four energy treatments and make-up applications. And she restarted spray tanning.
On the retail side, name brand products like OPI, Essie, Matrix and Paul Mitchell Pet Care products, as well as lotions, salts, candles, gift baskets and more.
