Founded in 1980 by husband and wife duo Richard and Debi Johnson, The Hair Loft began with a simple yet powerful idea: hire people you love and do great things together. Starting in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, the salon has grown into a modern, full-service destination with locations in River North and West Loop. Offering hair, extension, nail, and massage services, The Hair Loft goes beyond aesthetics — it's on a mission to enhance lives by building confidence for better, more successful lifestyles. Now led by the Johnsons' son Ben, the salon continues to honor its roots while evolving with the times, serving thousands of guests and employing hundreds of talented team members across its Chicago locations.
