Stylists work independently, each setting their own schedule and prices for their own clients, so booking happens directly with the stylist by text message to their phone number. Clients who need to cancel or move an appointment should give 24 hours' notice to avoid a fee, and requests to adjust a service should come within 72 hours of the appointment. Color stains are uncommon but can happen. The salon does not specialize in rainbow or bright fashion colors and refers clients seeking those looks to other local stylists. According to the salon, it is the top spot in Oak Park for eco-friendly and health-conscious hair, skin and body care. Its online shop sells eco-friendly and health-conscious hair, skin, bath and body products, home care goods, accessories and children's items, and most of the shop's merchandise is made in the United States. The salon also says it gives a monthly donation to New Moms, The Community Fridge Project and PBS.
Blends timeless styling with current trends, centered on eco-friendly and health-conscious hair, skin and body care.
A boutique space with a comfortable, edgy feel.
