Ben E Salon Spa has operated in Barrington since January 1980, when owner Ben Koerten opened it. It joined Aveda shortly afterward and became an Aveda Lifestyle Salon, and it is now in its 42nd year. The salon is a member of the Professional Beauty Association.
The salon describes its outlook as built around organics, wellness and beauty. Its menu covers cuts, color, styling and treatments for men and women, along with nails, skin, waxing, makeup and bridal services. Hair prices depend on length, thickness and condition, so clients are asked to check with their stylist or colorist.
Skin services include the Tulasāra facial, which is customized after a consultation and uses Aveda products and aromas for dry, oily, aging, uneven, sensitive or acne-prone skin. Peels include the Perfecting Plant Peel, which the salon says suits acne-prone skin and can be booked alone or added to another facial, and the Dual Exfoliation Peel, offered in 60- and 90-minute versions.
Appointments can be booked online through a secure link or by calling 847.381.2160. The salon is open Tuesday through Friday and closed Sunday and Monday. Gift cards can be bought for any service or amount, in store or online, and Aveda products can be ordered online with free shipping or picked up curbside by phone order.
Built around a philosophy of organics, wellness and beauty, with Aveda products used in its treatments and sold at the salon.
