1980

In 1980 husband and wife duo Richard and Debi Johnson had an inspired idea; hire people you love and do great hair together. Since then the idea has continued to grow and connect with people.

1982

After quick initial success, we expanded our service offerings and added a Nail Department, Massage Programs, Waxing, and even Esthetics. Even though these new services expanded from hair, the name recognition had already begun so the HAIR LOFT ltd name remained.

2008

After 28 years on Pearson, we moved to River North. On December 2nd, 2008 we opened our doors and welcomed our guests in. We wanted to create an environment that was modern, yet warm and welcoming. While initially those thoughts represented our architectural style, we found that they represented our people too. 

2015

After 35 years you would think we had done it all, but we felt like we were just getting started. On November 17th, 2015 we expanded to a second location which would become ‘withlove collective’. This space is not only a salon, but is also the celebration of local creators, small businesses, and independents through a retail boutique, food and beverage at the bar, and unique experiences and events.

NEXT

We're fully committed to being the best we can and exploring new and exciting ways to do great hair and connect with great people. We rally behind the leadership of Richard and Debi's son Ben as we continue to pursue our passion and build people's confidence so they can have better, more successful lifestyles.
