Hair Salons in Elmhurst

Among the hair stylists, nail technicians, and aestheticians that brighten Clydon Salon's interior, a common philosophy permeates—one founded in a genuine interest in each client's well-being and translated into services precision tailored to meet personal needs. Through continued training, the staff learns the many manners of pampering, as hair stylists massage away thought bubbles trapped within scalps and aestheticians dissolve anxiety by revealing glowing skin worthy of HDTV close-ups. Great Lengths' 100% human hair strands extend natural locks with laudable discretion, and Biolage haircare products celebrate the discoveries of scientists diligently surveying the flowers and botanicals flourishing in the field of beauty.

Since opening its doors in 2011, SanOlvi Beauty has carved out a niche for itself as a modern hair salon that works with male and female clients of all ages. Its contemporary decor, highlighted by lime-green walls and a large waiting room, mirrors the fashion-forward looks the stylists create for their clients. In addition to salon offerings, the menu of services also includes nail, threading, and waxing treatments.

Between sky-blue walls covered with mirrors, the skilled stylists at Studio 23 demonstrate their cutting and styling prowess, which they keep up to date by frequenting industry seminars. Using products from Matrix and Goldwell Premium Color and scissors forged by the finest English blacksmiths, the stylists perform hair services including color treatments and perms at neat white workstations. In addition to polishing coifs, the team also removes unwanted hair with waxing services, and spruces up nails and skin with manicures and facials.

For more than 10 years, the staff of Techniques Salon—tucked away in Uptown Park Ridge—has kept a loyal band of clients beautified with customized aesthetic services coupled with high-end haircare and skincare products. Inside the beauty haven, five stylists scurry around the salon floor, tending to manes with traditional hair services including cutting hair with shears or coloring strands with permanent markers. Aestheticians softly step around a treatment room as they rejuvenate epidermises with microdermabrasions, facials, and waxing services, and nail techs strike up conversations with clients as they indulge their put-upon paws with mani-pedi treatments.

A portrait of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo guards the entrance of Kahlo Salon, overseeing the creative stylists who cut, color, and sculpt hair armed with Redken and Moroccanoil products. Veronica Avila, salon owner and Redken master specialist weaves LOX hair extensions to add volume, length and color to locks and straightens follicles with Brazilian keratin treatments. Avila's list of achievements includes certifications in Pureology, Bosley, and LOX, as well as a certification as a Look Good Feel Better cosmetologist, which allows her to teach beauty techniques to female cancer patients in active treatment. The salon, decorated with artwork by local artists, also features a reception area with a brown-leather couch and shelves of Redken products customers can peruse in person or via wireless Internet as they sip complimentary glasses of wine, coffee, and tea.

Lucid Salon's aestheticians blend the traditional with the modern, updating time-tested beauty treatments with current industry trends. Beyond cuts and color, stylists can also renovate manes with custom hair extensions or GKhair keratin defrizzing treatments. Nail technicians call upon classic hot-oil and paraffin therapies for manicures and pedicures and shield digits with the advanced technology of no-chip polish. The team also travels to prep brides, bridal parties, and frazzled cake toppers with on-location hair and makeup services.

The blend of old and new is echoed in the salon decor, as chandeliers plunge from ceilings interlaced with exposed piping. Clients breeze past a pair of tasseled curtains to the shampoo chairs, whose black leather planes cradle bodies better than a hug from a coat rack.
