Edit Salon
Edit Salon earns its place through atmosphere as much as execution — it is the rare West Town room where the experience does not feel assembled from hospitality clichés.
Founded in 2011, Edit has kept a personality that resists the boutique-salon formula: scalp massages with every cut, complimentary wine or whiskey, a shop dog named Herbie who has greeted more clients than most front-desk staff manage. None of it feels performative because the cut-and-color work backs it up. The stylists listen, and the color — particularly balayage and single-process work — is handled with more precision than the loose vibe might suggest.
The location on Chicago Avenue sits in an interesting seam between River West and West Town, serving a clientele that skews creative and values the kind of appointment that does not feel clinical. A salon you book because you actually want to spend two hours there.
