About

YRK Chicago is a hair salon on the second floor of 59 East Walton Street in Chicago. The salon describes itself as a boutique space and says its mission is to create experiences that build confidence, celebrate individuality, and leave clients feeling empowered. Its stated values are passion, integrity, and trust.

Before any service, the team sits down with the client for a consultation so the result suits the client's features, lifestyle, and goals. Custom treatments are chosen for each client's hair needs, using professional brands the salon trusts. Products can be tried in the salon and demonstrated by the artists before anyone buys.

Extensions are a major part of the work. Invisible Bead Extensions are placed to blend with natural hair, and the Invisible Bead Method is designed to limit tension on the scalp. Great Lengths keratin bond extensions are offered using either the 3200 Thermal Method or the Ultrasonic Cold Fusion Method. A personal consultation is required for Great Lengths to set the method, amount of hair, and price. The extension collection has more than 40 shades and lengths from 16 to 24 inches. Maintenance is recommended every 6 to 10 weeks and does not include a wash or blowout, so clients arrive with clean, dry hair or book a blowout alongside it.

The salon is open Tuesday and Wednesday 10 AM to 6 PM, Thursday 10 AM to 6 PM, Friday 10 AM to 4 PM, and Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM, and is closed Sunday and Monday. Validated parking at the Covered Parking Garage at 900 North Michigan Avenue is listed at $16 for up to 3 hours or $22 for up to 5 hours, and valet parking is listed at 70 East Walton Street.

YRK Chicago: The Collective is a community for independent artists that offers space to grow their careers, with salon amenities and collaboration. The salon also hosts events such as product launches, styling workshops, and artist education.

Each service starts with a consultation, and the look and any custom treatment are chosen around the client's features, lifestyle, and goals.
