Classic Residence

Leading operator of senior living communities selects Teddie Kossof Salon as exclusive provider of salon services for residents in The Glen.

Glenview, Illinois - September 29, 2005 - Classic Residence by Hyatt, an award-winning leader in the senior living industry and an affiliate of Hyatt Corp., has selected the Teddie Kossof Salon as its salon provider of choice for Classic Residence by Hyatt at The Glen.

The combination of first rate salon services and personable attention to customer service, hallmarks of the Teddie Kossof Salon, delivers numerous benefits to the residents of Classic Residence by Hyatt at The Glen, including convenient on-site service, experienced hair stylists and nail technicians, and the comfort of an ongoing relationship with the North Shore area’s finest salon. As Teddie Kossof notes, “Many of those who live at Classic Residence are from this area. They have been our clients for years. Now, we can continue to serve them even more conveniently right in their residential setting.”

Operating luxury senior living properties in 15 American cities, Classic Residence's commitment to excellence led the company to seek amenities that reflect that high standard of luxury and excellence. The Teddie Kossof Salon was the natural choice to operate an in-house salon.

According to Alan Kossof, Salon Manager for the Teddie Kossof Salon, "This is a great opportunity for us, because we are already committed to serving the North Shore area. When we look for ways to serve the community, and to give back to it, working with Classic Residence gives us a chance to bring some convenience and comfort to people who might have difficulty coming to us." Indeed, with a clientele ranging from those in retirement to those in assisted-living, an in-house salon is not a mere convenience, but a necessity.

To help identify the best operating procedures for an in-house salon, Classic Residence identified both local and national salon operators who offered a level of service consistent with its luxury standards. The Teddie Kossof Salon not only met those standards with its reputation for superior customer service, but it stood out from the rest by being locally owned and experienced with the North Shore salon customer.

“With so many years in this community,” Teddie Kossof said, “We know how to satisfy what the salon client is looking for. We know how to make their experience special. We know how uplifting that can be, especially for someone who may have health issues or is just going through the transition to a retirement setting. To make their day a little brighter —and to serve them flawlessly while we do it—is the best reason to work with Classic Residence.”
