About

Ephraim Salon Chicago is a hair salon on West 95th Street in Chicago. The salon says it treats its work as creative art meant to produce beauty, and it aims to deliver high-quality services with integrity, honesty and respect for clients.

The silk press menu has several levels, from a basic signature press to a version with precision trim, a sculpted cut, a spiral finish, and a reconstructive press that pairs a strengthening treatment with the press. Color ranges from root and gloss touch-ups and perimeter edge touch-ups that camouflage grey new growth, to all-over color, dimensional highlights, custom blended color, and color correction, which requires a consultation first.

Extension and install work forms a large part of the menu, including sew-ins, closure sew-ins, install takedowns, quickweaves and ponytail styles. Microlinks require a consultation before booking, and hair must be free of braids and weaves for that service. The stylist supplies the hair for microlinks, and any coloring added to microlinks must also be booked online. Relaxers, roller and rod sets, cuts and detox or conditioning treatments round out the list.

Booking requires a deposit to hold the appointment. The deposit is non-refundable if a client cancels without rescheduling, and a missed appointment means the deposit is kept, with a possible additional fee. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment. The salon is open Wednesday through Saturday and closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

The salon describes its work as creative craft, delivered with integrity, honesty and respect, with a focus on pleasing each client.

The salon describes its atmosphere as unique and cultured.
