Epoch Studio Salon
Epoch ranks eighteenth on the combination of technical color depth and a sustainability practice rigorous enough to carry the Green Circle certification — rare in a neighborhood where aesthetics usually come first.
Co-founded in 2011, Epoch Studio Salon has built its Wicker Park identity around blonding and balayage work that leans modern — the kind of color that reads as sun-lit rather than processed, which requires both product knowledge and patience. The Bellami extensions program is one of the more developed in the neighborhood, and the keratin and curly-hair services give the floor genuine range.
The Green Circle certification places Epoch in a small group of Chicago salons that maintain environmental standards as an operational reality rather than a marketing claim. On North Avenue, where salon density is high and differentiation is hard-won, the combination of technical color credibility and accountable sourcing gives Epoch a clear identity. A studio for the client who cares about both outcomes.
