About

The business began in 1980 as The Precision Cut in River North, opened by Gino Di Franco with his brother-in-law. In 1990 it was renamed Gino Di Franco Salon. The current location is at 311 W Superior Street, Suite 114, which the salon describes as its new location.

Hair services cover both men and women. Men can book cuts, beard trims and shaves, with a shave done using a razor and lather, as well as color, bleach and perms. Women's services include cuts for short and long hair, updos, bang trims, conditioning treatments and shampoo and style, plus single foil, single and double process color, toner, frosting caps, partial foil, foil highlights and perms. Children 12 and under have their own haircut options. Men's haircuts start at $55 and women's long haircuts start at $85.

The salon also sells GIGI by Gino DiFranco, a hair product line that Gino developed over about 20 years. The salon says the products use all-natural ingredients such as argan oil and vitamins.

The owner describes the salon as a place where clients should feel welcome, like part of a family, and where building lasting relationships with clients is central.
