About

Thomas Hickey founded the salon in 1986 with the aim of building a team centered on service, quality and integrity. The salon describes itself as award-winning and says its team has earned the trust of Chicago clients.

The salon's philosophy is to master the fundamentals of hair work while steadily updating its techniques. It avoids short-lived trends and takes time to listen to each client before a service begins.

The space is bright and airy, with open ceilings, plants throughout, and a clean, contemporary design. Salon windows overlook the Chicago River and the CTA train line. The salon is easy to reach by the Brown and Purple CTA lines.

Prices are listed as starting rates, and the final cost varies by stylist. To get exact pricing, clients can book a complimentary consultation by calling the salon before their service. Appointments are made by phone, and a credit card is required to hold a booking. Color and cut appointments need 24 hours' notice to cancel, while straightening and extension appointments need 48 hours. Late cancellations may be charged 50% of the appointment, and no-shows are charged 50% of the service price.

The salon focuses on fundamentals, keeps its techniques current, and listens to each client before recommending a service rather than following passing trends.

Open ceilings, lush greenery and a clean, chic design, with river and train views from the windows.
