About

Each appointment is planned around the client's style, lifestyle and longer-term hair goals. Stylists keep up with current trends and keep building their skills, and the salon aims to leave clients happier with their hair than they expected at each visit. Consultations come first for custom color, extensions and wigs, since those are priced individually.

Each service comes with a premium shampoo and conditioner, followed by a scalp massage. The salon calls itself an inclusive, secure environment and is listed with Strands For Trans and Hair Has No Gender. According to the salon, it was chosen for the 2026 Salon Today 200 in the philanthropy category, was nominated three times in the Best Salon Chicago category (2023, 2024 and 2025), and received the Wicker Park Bucktown Legacy Award, given to a place for getting a new look. The site shows a 4.9 rating from 501 reviews.

The salon is open Tuesday from 11 AM to 7 PM, Wednesday through Friday from 11 AM to 8 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and is closed Sunday and Monday. Stylist hours can differ from these, and booked appointments receive a text or email confirmation. Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice, and shorter-notice cancellations are charged half the service cost.

Pairs creativity with care, clear communication and personalized service in a welcoming space.

The salon describes its space as welcoming, inclusive and safe.
