Penny Lane Hair Studios
Penny Lane earns twelfth on its commitment to curly and textured hair as a primary focus rather than a listed add-on, with a sustainability practice and an educational approach that most salons do not bother with.
Most salons list curly hair as a service. Penny Lane was built around it. For over twelve years, the Sawyer Avenue studio has operated as an inclusive, all-texture space where appointments routinely include instruction — clients leave understanding the products and techniques behind their result, not just relying on the stylist to reproduce it. The Green Circle certification places it among the small number of Chicago salons that treat environmental accountability as an operating standard, not a rebrand.
The price band reflects a deliberate choice to stay accessible, which has built a loyal Logan Square following across a wide demographic range. The product selection is curated around sulfate-free, curl-friendly, color-safe formulas, which aligns with the salon’s core clientele. For anyone with texture who has been underserved by mainstream salons, this is the right address.
