Elena Vance
Master Colorist & Lived-In Hair Specialist inside Sola Salon Studios Park Ridge (Suite 104).
Exquisite Color That Grows Out Gracefully
You shouldn't have to choose between vibrant, head-turning color and healthy hair. I specialize in lived-in blonding and custom gray blending designed specifically around your natural hair tone and daily routine.
My Philosophy & Behind-the-Chair Story
With over a decade behind the chair in Chicagoland, I established Aura Hair Studio to offer an intimate, high-touch alternative to crowded, noisy open-floor salons.
Located inside Sola Salon Studios Park Ridge, my focus is giving you dedicated 1-on-1 attention without rushing or double-booking. When you're in my suite, your comfort and hair health come first.
