Can’t wait to sit in her chair again!! Everyone is also very kind and very talented!! The salon is so aesthetic and very clean!

I’d been with the same hairstylist for 15 years (who recently retired), so I was very nervous about finding someone new. Then I found Danielle, and WOW. After just a trim and a Kérastase treatment, my blowout lasted several days with zero touch-ups, no curling iron, no straightener, nothing. The hair held, looked polished, and felt healthy the entire time. I couldn’t be happier and feel so relieved to have found my new go-to." — Sarah Myles (Google, ★5) > "Holly rocks ! Just what was needed to shape up unruly new grey hairs that have invaded recently (50 +). She did a nice simple shape up the ends cut, no frills. Trim it down & layer it. Feels better to have a blended cut rather than a chopped box end cut. The best thing was, the entire staff was very kind & considerate. Pleasant." — Denise Lynn Foley / Zuchel (Google, ★5) > "I found Letty through Instagram while searching for a stylist specializing in layered cuts. My hair has never looked better. She really takes the time to examine current cut, tells you what she’ll fix / change and why, takes into consideration hair texture (and in my case my lovely postpartum hair), and she’s a super personable person." — Tamara K.

Growing up with a strong artistic background gave me a creative foundation that continues to inspire my work behind the chair today. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with leading beauty brands as a color and hair extension educator and brand ambassador, sharing my passion and expertise with fellow stylists across the industry. Hair extensions, in particular, hold a special place in my heart—I love the confidence and transformation they can bring to a person’s life. My specialties include precision cutting, dimensional color, luxury hair extensions, body wave perms, keratin treatments, Brazilian smoothing treatments, and other retexturizing services. I believe beauty has no limits, and I’m constantly inspired by the endless possibilities our industry offers. Whether I’m behind the chair creating a personalized look or on set bringing a creative vision to life, my goal is always the same: to help you feel confident, beautiful, and authentically yourself. Whatever idea you have in mind, let’s create something beautiful together.

Founded Solo Salon in 2006 in Chicago's west loop, at the time was a blockbuster video, a new Starbucks, a tanning salon, just 3 restaurants and 2 bars. Solo employed just 3 stylist to then expand right before a huge economy tank in 2009 to double the size of the space. Opened her second location just blocks away, then relocated the original salon to a new space. Today between both locations (blocks from one another) employing just over 60 team members. Her number one driver for growth has been her team, education and the support of industry partners.
**INSPIRATION:** The craft of hairdressing has been my passion for years and brought me to where I am today. Today, while hairdressing will always light me up, my number one passion is coaching and mentorship. I am in the beginning stages of expanding in this area with a coaching practice.
