Salon Aria, Woodridge

Salon Aria's stylists boast impressive résumés that include stints at acclaimed training academies, such as Toni & Guy and Vidal Sassoon; participation in alternative hair shows in Chicago and London; and work for TV shows and hair magazines. Inside the spacious salon in Seven Bridges, they create classic and trendy haircuts and imbue locks with Eufora color, which contains nearly 100 shades of low-ammonia and ammonia-free color. During bridal appointments, they strive to make the day a little less stressful by plying bridal parties with champagne, running out to Jimmy John's for sandwiches, and letting the maid of honor scream into one of the pillows on the leather couch in the waiting area.
