About

The salon opened in 2012 as the namesake of Anthony Cristiano, a hair artist who began an apprenticeship at Vidal Sassoon in 1985. From 1989 to 2006 he worked as an international creative director for a range of brands, then took freelance hairdressing work before opening the salon. The site says he has more than thirty years in fashion and beauty, with editorial work in Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar and Vanity Fair and celebrity clients including Demi Moore, Kelly Ripa and Mariah Carey.

The salon says it aims for a sense of luxury and glamour while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and intimate. The founder works organically: a consultation comes first, and the look is shaped during the appointment rather than set in advance. He personally trains every member of the cutting staff, and a lead educator on the team mentors the color artists. The salon describes its team as skilled artists who share its values.

The salon occupies a 3,400 square-foot space overlooking the Chicago River and is open Tuesday through Friday from 9am to 7pm and Saturday from 9am to 6pm, closed Sundays and Mondays. Bookings can be made by phone at 312.268.2440 or by email at info@anthonycristiano.com. An in-house boutique sells hair care lines and hair accessories.

Color is a major part of the menu, with single process, gloss, highlights, balayage and blow dry with color, plus corrective color priced by consultation. Cutting services include the founder's own Haircut with Anthony, along with men's and women's haircuts, blow dries and updos. Treatments include customized conditioning treatments and keratin smoothing and express keratin therapies, and extensions are priced by consultation. Bridal hair and bridal makeup are also offered.

Each visit starts with a consultation, and the founder develops the look step by step during the appointment.
