"What an amazing salon and service. I am an returning customer and I can only recommend for everyone who is looking for a new hair salon with great service to come here. I was so surprised when the girls were willing to work with my hectic schedule as a working mom - even come in earlier (before business hours) to do my hair. I bring my daughter here as well. Besides being professional, it is always sparkiling clean! Thank you for taking care of me and my family and making us always look our best!"

Yes — we have a strong suburban client base that includes Northbrook, Glenview, Deerfield, Highland Park, and Wilmette. The North Shore community makes up a significant portion of our clientele, and many drive past closer salons specifically for the specialist experience CK Studio offers.
Mall salons typically staff generalists who handle cuts, color, blowouts, and everything else on the menu.

The specialist model means your stylist is the best person in the room at exactly what you need.

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.
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.
You can book online 24/7 through our Mangomint booking page, or call us at 773-455-3335. Same-week appointments are often available — we recommend booking 2-3 days ahead for the best selection.
Yes — we regularly handle Northbrook clients with city-specific scheduling needs.
