Buffalo Grove's Best Hair Is 22 Minutes South on the Edens

CK Studio is about 13 miles south of Buffalo Grove — roughly a 22-minute drive. The fastest route is I-94 south (the Edens Expressway) to Old Orchard Road, then east to Oakton Street. You can also take Waukegan Road straight south through Deerfield and Northbrook if you prefer to skip the highway. We're at 5041 Oakton St in Skokie with free parking right at the door.

We hear this question a lot from north suburban clients, and the answer is always the same: yes. The 22-minute drive is shorter than most people's commute to work. What you get is 7 dedicated specialists (not a generalist who does everything), professional-grade Schwarzkopf products, a 4.9-star rating across 264+ Google reviews, and color that holds 8+ weeks. Many of our Buffalo Grove clients tried us once after being disappointed by Dundee Road options — and never went back.

Absolutely. We serve clients from across the northern suburbs, including Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Wheeling, Northbrook, Deerfield, and the greater North Shore. Our Skokie location on Oakton Street is centrally positioned for anyone in the I-94 corridor.

The fastest route is I-94 south (the Edens Expressway). Take the Old Orchard Road exit, head east, and turn south on Oakton Street — you'll see us at 5041 Oakton St. If you prefer surface streets, Waukegan Road runs straight south from Buffalo Grove through Deerfield and Northbrook into Skokie. Both routes take about 22 minutes in normal traffic, and free parking is waiting when you arrive.

We offer a free consultation for all color and extension services — either in-person or virtual. For cuts, blowouts, and treatments, you can book directly without a prior consultation. During the consultation, your stylist will assess your hair, discuss your goals, and give you an exact price — no surprises.

We use exclusively professional-grade products: Schwarzkopf for color, Wella for toning, Kerastase for treatments, and Bellami for extensions. Every product is selected for your specific hair type — we never use generic or budget alternatives.

Partial balayage starts at $285+ and full balayage starts at $450+, depending on hair length, thickness, and desired result. Foliage and AirTouch techniques start at $450+. Your exact price is confirmed during your free consultation — no surprises. See our full pricing page for details.

Yes — we regularly handle Buffalo Grove clients with city-specific scheduling needs. For specialty appointments (dimensional color, K-tip extension installation, multi-session correction), book 2–4 weeks ahead for the time-block. For trims, glaze refreshes, and quick blowouts, same-week availability is typical.
