About

Gilda Salon opened in 2018, founded by Stephanie Kelson and Jonny Kelson, and sits at 4008 E Lake St. in the Longfellow neighborhood. Its stylists work as independent contractors: each sets their own schedule and handles their own clients. Questions about a stylist's services, pricing or availability go to that stylist directly through their page.

The salon is in a 1940s building that blends Art Deco and Victorian details. It was remodeled with an open floor plan, and that space also hosts an art gallery. Jonny helped create the salon as both an art gallery and an art studio. The salon describes the setting as relaxed and open to creative self-expression.

Hours are Monday to Friday 10am to 8pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm, with the salon closed on Sundays. The salon sells R+Co, R+Co BLEU and Shu Uemura hair products, along with jewelry by Mya Lambrecht.

The salon presents itself as a place for creative self-expression, with stylists who work on their own terms and an art gallery in the same room as the chairs.

A relaxed, creative room in a remodeled 1940s building with Art Deco and Victorian touches and an open floor plan.
