“Highlights” from Some of the Leading Fashion & Beauty Publications

Sine Qua Non Salon celebrates 22 years of salon success this year in their favorite city — Chicago. Owner and lifelong Chicagoan, Laura Boton opened Sine Qua Non Salon in 1993.  Her mission: to create a haven for the Chicago creative community to get unique and individualized hair services in a comfortable, chic, and unpretentious environment.

Since its inception, Sine Qua Non Salon has expanded into the Lincoln Park, Lakeview Andersonville and West Town neighborhoods with tremendous success. The salon prides itself on putting their client first by “…creating a culture that provides artistic haircuts, color, styling, brow shaping, and skin care services in a modern yet casual environment.” Time and time again, world-renowned publications agree on one thing: Sine Qua Non Salon is the Best Hair Salon In Chicago.
