Reflektion Salon Chicago

Reflektion began as a solo business and grew into a two-location salon company, founded by two friends, Katie and Vanessa, according to the site. Vanessa is listed as co-owner. KTP is also a co-owner and a stylist at both locations, and built the salon around clean products and client education. Alex is listed as manager of the Naperville salon.

The salon calls its services rituals rather than routines, meant to feel lighter and to restore clients while bringing out their natural beauty. A visit starts with a thorough consultation and a scalp ritual, moves to a tailored treatment, and finishes with a professional blow-dry. Clients leave with a styling lesson, at-home care instructions and follow-up support. Pricing is stated up front, and if a stylist suggests a different service, the client hears about it before the appointment begins. New guests can book a free 15-minute Consult before booking, which does not include a service, and a free image consultation is also listed. The Chicago and Naperville salons say they offer the same experience.

Color options include The Refresh Ritual, all-over color without foils for grey coverage, deepening shade or resetting color, with a gloss, blow-dry and complimentary haircut; it runs about 2.5 hours and starts at $225, going up to $360. The Signature Ritual uses foils with highlights or lowlights and a tonal gloss, lasts about four hours, includes a complimentary haircut, and starts at $360, going up to $576. The Grace Ritual is a longer, dimensional service built for blending grey, starting at $450 and going up to $720. The salon says most grey blending clients go 8 to 12 weeks between visits, compared with 4 to 6 weeks for traditional coverage. The Smooth Ritual is a keratin-based treatment that reduces frizz and adds shine, is formaldehyde-free, and starts at $270 with a top price of $374. It is not recommended within two weeks of color and requires a color waiver. Haircuts start at $94 and go up to $150, and blowouts start at $75 and go up to $150.

Extensions require a complimentary 30-minute consultation covering methods, pricing and maintenance. The Volume Ritual adds one row of invisible bead extensions. The Length Ritual uses two rows for added length and fullness, re-tightened every 6 to 8 weeks. The Luxe Ritual is a full-head service combining sewn-in rows with K-tip extensions, with wefts maintained every 6 to 8 weeks and K-tips lasting 4 to 5 months before removal. The salon says the Luxe Ritual is its most transformative service. Extensions are made from ethically sourced hair in lengths of 16 to 22 inches.

The Chicago salon is at 2734 N. Clark Street, 60614, phone 773.666.5477, with metered street parking out front and CTA stops within walking distance. The Naperville salon is at 2960 Artesian Rd, Suite 104, phone 630.210.8346, with a free parking lot directly in front and hours listed as Tuesday to Thursday, 11 AM to 7 PM. Online booking runs through Vagaro at any hour, with separate options for each location. New clients book as New Client and receive a Know Before You Go email with parking, what to bring and expected visit length. Anyone who has visited within the past 12 months books as Loyal Client, and loyal guests can add services once the salon knows their hair goals. Co-stylist appointments cannot be booked online and are arranged by phone. A stylist matching quiz is available for each location.

Built on rituals rather than routines, with clean, eco-conscious products and a focus on healthy hair that suits daily life. The salon says it works only with brands that share its view that beauty should not come at the cost of health or the planet.

The locations are described as welcoming, stylish and judgment-free.
