Take It or Weave It

Circle Salon Customized Workshops

That kindergarten report card forever haunts you. Doesn’t know purple; can’t use scissors.

You’ve since mastered the color wheel, but your clipping skills remain questionable.

Get schooled with a custom hair care class at Circle Salon, an ecofriendly Wicker Park gem owned by Aveda hair and L.A.’s Makeup Designory alum Jamie Bushman.

Individually tailored one-on-one classes run from an hour and a half to two hours, giving you and your stylist ample time to cover techniques. You’ll learn to trim your own bangs, create the perfect summer wave (disco’s back), pick the right products, and more. Makeup classes include false eyelash application and brow shaping. (Are you doing the math on how much moola you’ll save by August alone?)

Bonuses include an awesome recycling program (Circle donates hair clippings to soak up oil spills) and natural products (Davines, a zero-impact Italian line).

We give them an A+.

The Circle Salon, 2135 West Division Street, between Hoyne Avenue and Leavitt Street (773-715-1026 or thecirclesalon.com).
