ROBERTA WILLIAMS SALON & DAY SPA Bobbi Marcinkus and her talented staff of beauty stylists at Roberta Williams Salon and Day Spa, located at 2144 S. Plum Grove Rd., have been helping Northwest suburbanites look good and feel great since 1980. “We believe in the ‘total look’ concept and that is what sets us apart from other salons. Elevating and reinforcing the self-esteem of each and every one of our clients is our primary focus, so we do not concentrate on only one component of a person’s appearance,” Marcinkus said. “Creating or enhancing your own personal style starts with learning all about your physical composition and personal likes and dislikes. Hair style and color are only a part of the overall image. Our staff can help someone reach their appearance potential and transform an ordinary appearance into a uniquely striking appearance, appropriate for their features, body type, natural color scheme, personality and lifestyle,” she continued. “I love sitting down and listening to someone talk about how they feel about their look and what they would like to accomplish. I am all about how people feel,” Marcinkus explained. “Then, once we have a plan, I have different members of my team work with them on different aspects of the new look, including hair color and cut, nails, make-up, skin and even the colors of the clothing they wear.” Roberta Williams is a multi-generational salon, catering to the needs of all ages. “We can make anybody look beautiful at any age,”
Marcinkus stated. “Coming to us is totally different than walking up to a make-up or skin-care counter in a department store, for instance, because we have been extensively educated on how to analyze each individual’s skin and make recommendations.” Roberta Williams Salon and Day Spa has been recognized for professional excellence and their work has been published in Inspire, America’s leading hairstyling book. Recently, more salon staff and services have been added. For more information, call (847) 358-0335 or visit www. robertawilliamsonline.com.
SUBURBAN ACCENTS, INC. One of the best-known vehicle graphics companies in the United States is located in Rolling Meadows. Suburban Accents, Inc. is a family owned and operated firm which designs vinyl graphics for cars, buses, entire fleets, buildings and other uses, literally all over the country. Depending upon the needs of the customer, a specialist from Suburban Accents will travel to their location and install the graphics or, the finished graphic can be shipped to the customer and installed by someone local with the necessary expertise. Ric Sisi launched Suburban Accents in 1974 and has seen it grow as the technology to create such graphics has improved. He started out by hand-cutting vinyl for his creations, then took projects to a local sign shop for cutting for several years and finally, he invested in the necessary machines so that he could do all the work in-house. Computers have allowed the designs to become even more intricate and elaborate over the years, as have advances in vinyl technology, Sisi said. “We will take the time to customize the look of your vehicle to get you noticed. Our vinyl graphics, vehicle wraps and fleet lettering will call attention to your business better than any other form of advertising. Your vehicle literally becomes a rolling billboard, 24/7, 365 days a year. Just think of all the potential clients your vehicle passes in a single day! In traffic, parked, at a stoplight or in a client’s driveway, your message is out there,” Sisi explained. Clients can choose anything from economical die-cut, prespaced vinyl lettering, to printed graphics with colored logos
and photos, to a vehicle wrap in which the whole vehicle (or any portion of it) is covered with eye-catching graphics on self-adhesive vinyl. Suburban Accents uses the highest quality vinyl, printed using high-performance, UV inks. The vinyl is then covered with an over-laminate to make it scratch and chemical resistant and to give it even more protection from UV rays. Local clients range from local municipalities, to radio stations, to tradespeople. Suburban Accents even does vehicle graphics for use in television and movie work like the hit show “Chicago Fire,” Sisi said. Located at 3701 Berdnick St., Suites A and B, Suburban Accents is run by Sisi and his wife, Donna, and employs five people, including their son and nephew.
