About

Aura Salon is co-owned by Bobby Paul and Patrick McAfee, who decided in 2024 to open the salon together at 3919 N Lincoln Ave. The salon describes itself as aiming to redefine beauty standards in Chicago with full-service haircare.

The name came from a mannequin Bobby Paul found in an alley during beauty school, which had AURA written inside her torso. The salon says its guiding values are kindness, community and inclusivity, and it describes its stylists as bringing expertise and creativity to every service.

Aura offers a Sanctuary Space, a quieter room where the lighting and background noise can be adjusted to suit the client. The salon also carries a curated line of hair care and color products.

Clients can book online through the website or Square, or call the salon if a preferred time is not available. Gift cards can be used toward any service. Prices vary with the time required, the techniques used, and how much color or lightener the hair needs. Color correction is priced after a consultation. Listed prices include a clipper haircut at $50, a kids haircut at $40, a fringe or neck trim at $25, and a Brazilian Blowout with haircut at $385. Saturday hours run 9am to 5pm and Thursday hours run 12pm to 8pm.

The salon's guiding values are kindness, community and inclusivity, and it describes its stylists as bringing expertise and creativity to each service.

A quieter Sanctuary Space offers adjustable lighting and background noise for clients who want a calmer setting.
