Goodies

We all ask and get asked this question all the time. I don't have a dentist... do you know of a good one? Where do you go to get your haircut? Etc etc. So I'll post a quick list of my "good ones," in case anyone is in the market.

Good dentist:
Dr. Joshua Ehrlich. Super nice person and gentle as far as dentists go, located right off the Wellington brown line, but also accessible to the Belmont red line. He also has flexible hours which is convenient. His staff is very friendly and helpful and I appreciate that he and the hygeinist usually talk about something of interest during my cleaning; so even though I can't contribute to the convo, I'm not bored to death (its the little things).

Good GYN:
Chicago Women's Health Center. This is a really awesome place that I go to even though my insurance doesn't cover me there. They are on a sliding scale and are run mostly by volunteers. They have A LOT of services: general gyn stuff, counseling, MASSAGES (and yes, the massages are also on a sliding scale. Hello!).

Good stylist:
Natalie at Urban Lift. Urban lift is a very cool non-chain hair salon in Roscoe Village (Addison brown line). This place used to be a house so it has a nice comfortable feel (nothing too industrial for me... I hate feeling like I'm in a doctor's office when I get a hair cut). The best part, for me, is this cute help-yourself manicure bar in the back area so you can paint your nails while you wait. They also always offer a complementary beverage (beer, wine, soda, etc).
