This Lincoln Park spot, just steps from the Armitage Avenue shopping strip, may look a little intimidating from outside, but the ambience inside is welcoming. Stylists can get as creative as you want, but most clients here are young professional women who want the same basic cut as everyone else. There's also another location in Wicker Park at 1552 N. Milwaukee Ave. (tel. 773/227-HAIR).
