About

Joanna Dymowski and Agnes Strzelecki started AJ Retreat in 1998 and have worked together since 1989. The salon describes itself as an in-town spa that offers natural alternatives to traditional services, and it has locations on Winnetka Avenue and Lincoln Avenue.

Pedicures are done in individual private rooms. Hand and foot services draw on a broad range of products, selected around each client's preferences and nail needs. According to the salon, its product selection is hard to beat, and it aims to make each visit an experience rather than only a service.

The salon is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, and closed on Sundays.

Specialty work includes fixing individual nail problems with consistent natural treatment. Cosmetic toenail restoration is one option for nail concerns; it requires buying take-home anti-fungal products to use between visits.

Focuses on natural care, holding that one size does not fit all in hand and foot care. The aim is to help clients move toward more natural self-care, with fewer chemical products and services adjusted to each client's body and needs.

Warm, inviting and relaxed, meant to work as a gathering place in Winnetka.
