Salon SEN is owned by a married couple, Alex and Julie, and works in Lakeview on Halsted Street.

A visit begins with time spent getting to know the guest. Haircuts start with a full consultation covering hair history, current style, and the changes the guest wants. Before any extension installation, the team does an in-depth consultation to assess hair condition and suggest a method and a maintenance plan. Guests can complete a free online consultation form ahead of time to help find the right service and provider, and appointments can be booked online through the Book Now button.

The menu is grouped into eight areas: haircuts, hair color, blonding and lightening, blowouts and styling, hair treatments, keratin smoothing, extensions, and brows, lashes, and waxing. Blowouts and styling are offered for everyday wear as well as work, events, weddings, proms, and photoshoots. The salon describes its team as committed to continued education and current techniques, and says it aims for consistent service standards across all stylists. Aveda products are sold through the Shop Aveda page, and gift cards are available.

Every service is shaped around the guest's hair type, goals, and routine, and the team takes time to understand what each guest wants before any service begins. The salon's stated mission is to deliver hair services in a space where every guest feels cared for.

The salon describes its setting as relaxing.
