What does the drive from Lincolnwood cost in time?
Off-peak, you're looking at 6–10 min via Touhy Ave west. Rush hour stretches it to 10–18 min. Transit option available via CTA Yellow Line. Distance: 2–4 miles.
What do Lincolnwood clients get in return?
Time-blocked appointments built for dimensional blonding (AirTouch, Foilyage), certified K-tip + tape-in extension installation, multi-session color correction handled in-house, and Bellami premium hair color-matched per strand. Lincolnwood Town Center mall salons rotate stylists frequently — great for one-off cuts, hard for the formula continuity color and extension clients need over time.
When is the drive not worth it?
For a quick trim, glaze refresh, or 30-minute single-process touch-up, local Lincolnwood options serve fine. The drive earns its keep when the appointment actually needs specialty technique time — dimensional color, K-tip installation, multi-session correction. That's where the format difference matters more than the proximity.

"I would highly recommend CK Studio in Skokie! Christina is wonderful as is the rest of the team there! Very kind and professional and what is even more amazing is that every single time I have arrived for my scheduled appointment, I never had to wait! Believe it or not this has not been my experience at past salons. Thank you Christina for the amazing hair cuts!"
"I have colored my hair in many different salons over the years. CK salon offers quality hair coloring. They take their time and really analyze your hair to know what will work best. My hair has never looked this good!"
"I have been coming to CK Studio for years. Never, in my many many appointments, have I been disappointed. Their service is amazing- they offer water, coffee etc. The new studio is BEAUTIFUL. It is genuinely enjoyable to sit and get my hair done. And obviously the stylist are the best. They are friendly and so talented. I have used a couple and each one is more talented than the next. 10/10 would definitely recommend. I look forward to my appointments!!"
