Eddie Relick
Hair Stylist
Eddie has been a stylist in Bloomington since 1980, and with Perfect Illusion since opening day at the new location in 2006.
He has had extensive hair coloring training from Logics and Clairol in New York and Chicago. The training was a curriculum aimed toward teaching at the school and salon level. He taught many classes in schools and salons in Indiana and Kentucky.
Eddie enjoys color for fun, for blending gray hair, and for modifying hair texture.
Of course, cutting hair (whether a makeover or merely for maintenance of an existing style), is a major part of his business.
He also enjoys texture modification through permanent waving, natural curl modification and specialized keratinization processes such as the Brazilian Blowout.
His clientele is multigenerational, with an accent on family and groups of friends. Pleasing people of all ages and backgrounds is a challenge that makes each day unique and fun.
