Get ready for a transformation.

At Salon Aken, we believe that beauty is an extension of well-being. Nestled in the vibrant Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago, our salon is more than just a place for a haircut—it is a sanctuary dedicated to the art of "Holistic Wellness Beauty." Named in honor of our founder Vardan Babelyan’s grandmother, Ashkhen (affectionately called "Aken"), our salon carries forward her legacy of pursuing what truly makes you happy.

Our Aveda Concept Philosophy As a proud Aveda Concept Salon, we are committed to the mission of environmental leadership. We exclusively use Aveda’s plant-powered, cruelty-free products that are as kind to the planet as they are to your hair and skin. From our signature stress-relieving rituals to our high-performance botanical colors, every service is designed to nourish your body and soul without compromising the world we share.

Expert Artistry Tailored to You Whether you are looking for a precision haircut, a transformative balayage, or a rejuvenating Aveda facial, our team of Master Stylists and Skin Health Specialists brings decades of international experience to the chair. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all beauty. Our "Personal Style Advisors" take the time to understand your unique lifestyle, texture, and goals, crafting a signature look that feels authentically you.

A Community Staple We are proud to be a part of the Clark Street community. We invite you to step away from the bustle of the city and into our tranquil oasis. Whether you’re a long-time Chicago, Edgewater or Andersonville local or visiting us for the first time, you’ll find a warm, inclusive atmosphere where creativity and compassion meet.
