About

The Edit by KR is a private, appointment-only studio that brings independent artists together under one roof in Lemont. Founder Kristin Rocha set it up to pair the independence of a private studio with a close-knit creative community. The studio describes its goal as bringing a city-level standard of artistry and design to the suburbs.

The pace is intentionally slow, leaving room for creativity for both artists and clients. Every booking is made directly with the artist you choose. New clients can fill out a new client form and be matched with a stylist based on their needs, while general inquiries and collaboration requests go through the contact form.

The space gets natural light and has been thoughtfully designed. Listed amenities include Wi-Fi, complimentary beverages and snacks, and wheelchair accessibility. Beyond appointments, the studio offers booth rental for established stylists and makes the space available for photo shoots and small-scale events.

Color is a major focus, ranging from a demi-permanent gloss that refreshes tone without lightening to hand-painted balayage and a lived-in blonde service for clients moving away from heavy lightening. Color consultations run 30 minutes and cover hair history, current color, goals and upkeep, and the $30 fee is applied toward any color service booked from that visit. Lived-in blonde is priced after consultation. Keratin smoothing requires a $100 deposit. Cuts, styling and treatments are sold separately from color unless stated otherwise.

Built around independent artists who each run their own book, with a slower pace and room for creativity. Color work typically begins with a consultation to review hair history and goals.

A naturally lit, thoughtfully designed space with a close-knit creative feel.
