About

Tony Odisho opened Exsalonce in Roscoe Village in 2003, and the salon's history page places its founding in the early 2000s. The salon describes itself as Chicago's premier hair extension salon and as the city's hair authority. Its listed specialties are premium hair extensions, hair color, haircuts and Brazilian Blowouts.

The salon's stated mission is to create guest experiences built on genuine connection, personalized care, artistry and education. It names inclusivity, sustainability, affordable luxury, excellence and creativity as its values, and says it guarantees an exceptional experience with every service.

Extensions are a major focus. The salon says its hair is 100% human hair, premium and ethically sourced, and that each extension method is tested for two years before use. Every extension service requires a consultation before booking, and planning starts with an assessment of hair type, density and goals. Pricing for installation is by quote, with a $25 deposit required. Extension clients are seen about every six to eight weeks for repositioning and refreshing and receive guidance for care at home.

Pricing is set by artist level, from New Artist up to Master, so the same service can cost less or more depending on who performs it. Cut prices for longer styles include a blowout, while bang trims and children's cuts for ages 0 to 5 do not. Creative color and color correction are priced hourly and each begin with a consultation. The salon says prices may change without notice, specials cannot be combined with other offers, and it reserves the right to refuse service.

Exsalonce centers on personal connection, individual planning and education, with extension plans and color work shaped around each client's hair and goals.
