Bonnie Conte – Avalon Salon and Day Spa
From the moment you enter Avalon Salon you feel as though you are an honored guest in their home. Warm greetings by the knowledgeable staff, a warm cup of Aveda tea and a scalp and neck massage is just the start. Grace the shampoo girl will get you so relaxed you might fall asleep at the shampoo bowl. I’ve come close. My monthly trip to see my stylist Shyla is one I always look forward to. Being a long time client at Avalon really gives you the feeling of being one of the family. One of the reasons I have supported Avalon for so long is that they also believe that giving back to others and their community. Bonnie Conte, co-owner and managing partner has created an amazing culture of caring and giving. Hands down the best Salon and Spa in the area.

Justin Pathmann – Pathmann Construction
When looking for a contractor knowledge, customer service and reputation in the community are essential. Justin is now working on build-out for my third commercial real estate client. The results and the feedback I receive from my clients is over the top. Justin’s professionalism, quality contractors and materials used result in a fantastic finished product. Thank you Justin for being my contractor of choice for my business clients.

Dan McNamara – McNamara Interactive
There are many web designers on the market but when my clients need web design and SEO I recommend Dan McNamara. Dan’s timely response time, ability to determine client needs and work within their budget separate Dan from the multitude of web designers in the area. When I recommend Dan to a potential client I am 100% confident in knowing the client will receive the very best service and end result.

Jack Edgar – Hawthorn Woods Family Dental
Selecting a new dentist is never an easy decision. Are you are looking for a dentist with a gentle touch, great staff, the latest in dental procedures and equipment? I highly recommend Dr. Jack Edgar. He and his staff have developed a wonderful model of top notch patient care that is second to none. Thank you Dr. Edgar for making those regular trips to the dentist a bit more relaxing.

Avalon Salon and Day Spa
I’d like to take a moment to thank you and the entire staff at Avalon for the courtesy and kindness that has been extended to myself, my family and to friends that I’ve recommended over the last couple of years. Thank you for not only meeting but far exceeding our expectations on a regular basis. I’ve noticed that “the experience” starts the moment you walk in the door. I’m always greeted by name and met with those million-dollar smiles. And of course, I always look forward to a big hug…or two!! Where else can you get THAT?
It’s really hard to pinpoint any one thing but no matter what kind of day you’re having – after an hour or so at Avalon everything just seems to be…okay.
Being in management myself for many years and understanding the challenges that comes with it I’d like to compliment you on the team you’ve assembled and the outstanding service that they consistently provide. Without sounding too cliché – actions really do speak louder than words, from a customer’s prospective I’ve noticed… Team Avalon always brings their “A” game.
I use Aveda products because they are environmentally friendly and because I’ve never minded paying a few dollars more for a good quality product or service. I always look forward to my visits at Avalon because it’s really true that when you look good you feel good.
Bonnie, as a fellow chamber member I think I can speak for everyone in thanking you for all you do for our community and donating your time and talents to so many local causes.
On a larger scale, I appreciate your involvement with the Alliance for the Great Lakes and your annual drive for bringing clean drinking water to those in need. You should be very proud of your accomplishments, a big heartfelt thanks goes out to you and your entire staff for ALL you do.
Sincerely,
Tom Eccles
Casten Body Shop
I’d like to take a moment to thank you, Glen, Dale & your entire staff at Casten Body Shop for the courtesy and kindness that was extended to myself, my family and to friends that we’ve recommended over the past couple of years.
Thank you for not only meeting but far exceeding, our expectations.
As you know, someone vandalized my daughter’s car at a high school game. There was a lot of damage done to the car and she was just sick about it. I’d like to thank you, not only for the exceptional work that you did on the car but for your kindness & understanding of the overall situation and your professionalism of taking a very difficult situation and making it bearable.
Your friendship is very much appreciated and a true testament to your success!
I don’t know much about body work or painting, but the car is a yellow Volkswagen and I can imagine that’s probably not an easy color to match. The car is only a couple of years old and I’m sure from your perspective that the paint match is critical with color to color “blending”.
Dale stayed in touch with us through the entire process and worked everything out with the insurance company. I’m sure there was probably some aggravation that he had to deal with – but from a customer’s perspective we never saw or experienced any of it. THAT’S HUGE!
I told my wife, I think the car actually looks better now than it did before there was any damage, it looks GREAT and your attention to detail has won us over as “customers for life”.
Chris, a big heartfelt thanks, goes out to you, Glen and your entire staff.
We will continue to recommend Casten Body Shop to everyone!
Very Sincerely,
Tom & Susan Eccles

“Ron has helped me with a few transactions over the past decade. So when the time came to look for new commercial space for my business I knew who to call. Ron listened to understand the needs of my practice to find the perfect space.
