About

Exposed Salon has operated in downtown Lombard for over 18 years from a newly designed space. The salon describes itself as small and intimate, with six stylists who work together as a team to keep service consistent. It calls itself Lombard's most trusted hair and beauty salon and says West Suburban Living Magazine voted it Best of the West. It also reports a 4.7-star Google rating from over 80 reviews.

The salon's inspiration is credited to Diane Disylvester, a hairstylist who opened her first business at 18. Stylists begin with conversation, listening to what a client wants and working toward that result, and they take continuing education classes to keep up with current trends and techniques.

Services cover hair, color, waxing and makeup. Color work includes ombre, lowlights, highlights, all-over color, bright hues, balayage and platinum, and an Opalex treatment can be added to any color service. Makeup ranges from bold looks to light, natural finishes, and clients can be shown how to recreate their look at home.

Appointments are preferred, though walk-ins are welcome. Evening appointments are available, and wedding parties can be booked outside regular hours for an added fee based on time and day. Clients can book online through the salon website. Most credit and debit cards are accepted, but tips can only be given in cash.

The team focuses on communicating with each client and listening closely to reach the result they want, with stylists trained through ongoing education.

Relaxed and welcoming, with a laid-back yet polished feel.
