The Circle Salon

The significance of the name of this Wicker Park salon is twofold. It applies as much to its environmentally sensitive ethos—a corrugated cardboard and twine display case by local designers the Mighty Bearcats showcases the zero-impact product line Davines—as it does to the social-networking hub the salon intends to become. In addition to offering cuts ($40–$55 for men; $60–$75 for women), color ($65–$150), waxing, makeup application and services such as extensions, the salon features one-on-one lessons on everything from brow shaping to blow-drying.
