In 1992, Anna Winston started making Chicago's North side a little more stylish, one head at a time. That's when she opened up Salone Capriccio and began cutting, highlighting, and coloring chic 'dos for men and women. In the decades since opening, she has always stayed abreast of the latest trends, except for those six months in 1995 when no one took off their hats.

Ms. Winston and her fellow stylists are still at it today, working closely with their clients to design the perfect style. They might recommend face-framing highlights, chemical strengtheners for unmanageable curls, or full waves that amp up hair's volume and style. In addition to hair services, the beauty experts also gussy up nails with mani-pedis, apply makeup, and wax away unwanted facial fuzz.
