About

The salon traces its roots to a barber shop in Sicily, Italy, run by the grandfather of owner Laura. Her father, Nello, started working in a barber shop on Michigan Avenue in Chicago in 1965 and bought a salon in Skokie, Illinois, in 1967. When that original building was sold, Laura moved the business, and the Niles location opened in March 2015.

The salon describes itself as locally owned and level-based, aiming for personalized, high-quality hair work that pairs high-end expertise with a connection to the community. Pricing varies by stylist level and reflects each stylist's experience, education and demand for their time.

Visits are by appointment only, booked by calling the salon. Clients are asked to exfoliate, shave or wax at least 24 hours ahead and to arrive with clean, dry skin. Gratuity is not included in prices, and the salon accepts cash and major credit and debit cards.

Bridal parties need a 50% deposit and should book at least three months ahead, with cancellations requiring a month's notice. Offsite wedding services start at $100 within a 10-mile radius, with added travel fees for greater distances. Deposits for larger color services are $50 and count toward the total, and they can be refunded or transferred with at least 48 hours' notice.

A level-based salon where pricing follows each stylist's experience, education and demand, and clients are encouraged to book a consultation before major color or extension work.
