"I’ve been seeing Cristina at CK Salon for almost 20 years, and she never disappoints. I live in Winnetka, and it’s less than a 15-minute drive with convenient parking. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm smile and offered a drink, making you feel instantly welcome. The salon itself is beautiful, calming, and such a tranquil space. And the head massage at the shampoo station is unreal!!! Does it have to end?! Cristina always takes the time to walk me through the best cut and color for me, and I completely trust her expertise. Over the years she’s done an incredible job—whether it was when I wanted to go super blonde or now that I prefer something more low-maintenance with balayage so I don’t have to come in as often. I leave every appointment feeling like a rockstar… or as I like to say, va-va-voom!"
"I have been coming to CK Studio for about 9 years, and every experience has been amazing. I have always received great service and beautiful results every time I sit in Cristina's chair. She is precise, honest, and always clear about what is possible and what to expect with any service. I fall in love with the results every single time. Amazing service and a beautiful salon!"
"Ck Studio is my favorite hair salon!! The atmosphere, attention to details — everything is amazing. I had decided to change my blonde highlights back to my natural brown hair color and it turned out wonderful — my stylist Cristina is the best!!! She is so professional and kind and patient; she goes above and beyond to meet everyone's needs. Every time she works her magic on my hair, it turns out looking incredible!!"
