About Us

Fox & Hounds occupies the entire second floor of this beautifully renovated building in historic downtown Bloomington, Illinois. Our current location is the culmination of a series of moves that growth and success have necessitated.

To incorporate the origin of our name which is English slang for women and men, we chose to imitate the feeling of an old English pub. Step up to the reception counter, and put your foot on the brass rail - you'll get that pub-friendly feeling. As you make your way through our salon and spa you will find the colors of hunter green, burgundy, and brass will help you relax and enjoy your day with us.

Here at Fox & Hounds all of our service providers are educated and licensed professionals. All of our stylists have completed an in-house training program in addition to being licensed cosmetologists. The hair salon includes fifteen work stations and eight shampoo bowls. Our spa has five treatment rooms for massage and esthetics. Our recently renovated nail department had six pedicure thrones with jets in the foot tub and heated and massaging chairs. Also in our nail department are five custom built manicure stations. Enjoy our fireplace surrounded by an ornate, antique mantle during your pedicure service. We offer a lounge to relax in between your spa services. You can also enjoy lunch catered by Rosie's Restaurant in front of our fireplace located in our guest lounge. The lounge is available to private parties for just a little extra.

Fox & Hounds is a reflection of it's owner, Vicki Tilton. She has been at Fox & Hounds for thirty years. In 1991 Vicki had the opportunity to buy the business, and she took it. Her growth in her career has been marked by specialized training in techniques of the business.

As a community activist, Vicki has been involved in such events as Relay for Life, the Redken program in support of The City of Hope, and the Look Good, Feel Better program through the American Cancer Society. Her involvement in support of cancer patients led her to house the wig bank for the Community Cancer Center. The wigs are all donated, and they are free to those who need them.

Vicki's personal philosophy has become the underlying character of Fox & Hounds. This is a dedication to carrying the values of family into the business. The family feeling is instilled into the staff and is carried through to our guests!
