About

Boss Hair Group was founded by John Blue, who is listed as its Founder and Creative Director. The salon describes itself as Chicago's destination for hair color expertise and precision cutting, and it says its color team is the most experienced in the city.

The salon says Salon Today Magazine named it Salon of the Year in 2019 and that Chicago Magazine named it the best colorist in Chicago. It is also Green Circle certified. The salon is a short walk from the Chicago CTA Brown and Purple Line station, and paid street parking is available along Institute or Orleans. The River North Parking Lot at 830 N Orleans St is another option through Air Garage or ParkMobile.

Color services are priced a la carte and do not include a blowout, so clients are asked to book a blowout or haircut with their preferred stylist after color. Listed prices are starting points, and the final total depends on the stylist, the hair, and the work required. Haircuts include a full shampoo, conditioning, blowdry, and finish, and haircut prices are gender neutral.

New clients for hand-tied and hybrid wefts need a consultation first. Virgin and first-time color clients are priced differently from those booking a root touch-up. The salon sells R+Co, R+Co Bleu, Nutrafol, Areté, Cult + King products, and gift cards. For calls, dial 312.374.1345, or text 773.433.9606.

The salon centers its work on color and precision cutting, with consultations for the more involved services.
