What's hard about local Winnetka options
- ✗Local Winnetka salon scheduling tightens during peak seasons — weekend specialty bookings often run 2–3 weeks out
- ✗Many Winnetka salon options require metered street parking or paid lots — limited free, on-site parking
- ✗Established village hairdressers in Hubbard Woods and downtown Winnetka skew classic and generalist
- ✗Fewer dedicated K-tip or tape-in extension installers within Winnetka city limits than the city's size would suggest

"I came into the salon as a blonde with completely botched, muddy hair, and I was honestly so nervous after having so many bad experiences with hair stylists in the past. However, Cristina completely transformed my hair and gave me the blonde of my dreams! From the moment I sat in her chair, she reassured me every step of the way, explained the process, and made me feel so comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. The end result was beyond anything I could have hoped for: bright, beautiful and exactly what I wanted. After years of searching, I can finally say I’ve found someone who does my hair perfectly. I couldn’t recommend Cristina enough, she is truly amazing!"
"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!!"
