8 reviews for Team Blonde
When I grow up I want to do something like Team Blonde does.
Seriously - these ladies are amazing. Two friends from college who left their corporate jobs to pursue their hobby - I just think it's fantastic!!!
The store is cute as hell with a nice brass ceiling (painted over though) and warm brick walls and I absolutely love the layout and presentation. You have a broad choice of jewelry, hats, scarves and handbags as well as body products and candles. I went there as part of the bridal shower organized by my "in-law girls" and I made a bracelet and had a pedicure. I don't have a clear idea of the pricing of these specific items but I thought that most of their selection was reasonably priced if you consider that they are made by exclusive designers.
I would have more mixed feelings about the actual pedicure that was not that great. It was executed by a very talkative older Ukrainian woman whom I personally found real nice but who could be a turn-off to some people - especially because of her racist comments.....
Overall a definite gem on the already nicely adorned crown of Madison Street in Forest Park!
Try the no-chip manicure- it is great- Mandy and Brittany are awesome !!

Go for a Girls Night Out- It is alot of fun- and the discount helps because you cannot walk out of… Read more »
The store isn't what I'd normally seek out, although I'd check out the handbags again. The jewelry is really cool, but crazy insane expensive.
I went for the girl's night out event a few months ago, and the beading was no less expensive if I had provided my own labor. But the event was generous - they serve a lot of nice appetizers, and the spa services were terrific. People were packed in, making it a little difficult to move around.
Still, I had the best manicure of my life - the polish looked great for a full week, which is a first for me.
I said to myself about a month ago "Self, you should have yourself a nice little shindig for your birthday".....about two years ago, I threw myself a little jewelry making party at a place in Wicker Park (I have a review about it too). Well it closed, but I had a load of fun and decided to do it again....
Hence in doing a search on there Internet, I came across Team Blonde...and boy, am I glad I did! Loved it, loved it, loved it! I brought my own food and drinks and my party was downstairs in the 'lounge' area...it was almost like a living room with a kitchen. In the middle of a huge table, all the beading was put out for us to use at our leisure. I was even able to plug my iPod into the stereo and we listened to music as we chilled, ate, had spa services and made jewelry.
I didn't have any spa services, but some ladies at my party did and they were all very happy- special thanks to the nail technician who came in on a Sunday to make this happen for us!!!!
I was so impressed with Team Blonde. I left with a new necklace, earrings, my daughter made a bracelet and I bought her a separate bracelet and necklace...and I spent less than $150. My mom bought me one of the cool bags from there as a birthday gift....and my grandmother bought me a pair of sunglasses that make me look HOT!!!!! (yeah I just gave myself props!)
Special shout out to Jane and Heidi! I love places like Team Blonde and as long as they are open, I will be a lifetime customer. I could have easily spent $300 in there and the fact that no one else will have my jewelry is the best part!
Thank you Team Blonde for making my 34th birthday really special!
Cute store, fun stuff, a little pricey but quality stuff. The ladies that own the store are great! Love it!
I do love Team Blonde. It opened shortly before I moved away from the area but I just loved wandering thru (and I try to, still, when i visit) and checking out all their jewelry. I bought a necklace that I love love love and it wasn't too pricey. I do a bit of jewelry-making myself, so I always get ideas when I am in there and it makes me wanna go home and make a million things!
This is a very cool shop. They have neat jewelry and gifty things on the main floor (street level), then downstairs there is a party room where groups of big or little girls can have a jewelry making party. Spa services are available for big girls' parties, and you can bring in your own food and drink. A nice addition to Forest Park's Madison Street renaissance.
Very cute little store. I remember having a party there which as I remembered it was really fun. The clothes and jewlery are really cute, and would make a really nice gift for someone or YOU! :D
