Twenty-five years of color, and one chair.

I trained at nationally recognized academies on the East Coast, then gave myself completely to color. In Chicago I spent years at some of the city’s most renowned salons, and noticed how impersonal they can be.

My clients wanted my undivided attention, so I built a place where they get exactly that: one chair, no rush, and a color made for you.

How Color & Run works

Clients, in their words

  • Tatjana is a professional and an artist. I was so worried the first time I colored my hair, but she patiently walked me through the process and gave me exactly the results I envisioned.
