Da @ Eclipse Salon is a distinguished independent hair stylist operating within the vibrant and well-established Eclipse Salon in Chicago's desirable Lincoln Park neighborhood. Da, the skilled stylist and service provider, has built a loyal clientele among Illinois residents by prioritizing a detailed, personalized approach to hair care, with a specific focus on high-quality precision cutting and thoughtful, **gender-affirming service**. This highly-rated professional, formerly associated with Salon Aster, has carried forward a reputation for technical skill and a deeply client-centric experience.

For clients in the Illinois region seeking a stylist who truly listens and crafts a look that aligns with their personal identity and lifestyle, Da offers a compelling choice. The core philosophy is centered on "cutting hair with care, breaking norms everyday," which speaks to a modern, inclusive, and consultative style of service. This approach is highly appreciated, as evidenced by consistent five-star reviews highlighting not only the flawless technical results—such as a "perfect, precision cut" or a "Classic Taper/Skin Fade" that looks "terrific every time"—but also the helpful advice given on how to style and maintain the new look at home. Whether a client is looking for a dramatic style transformation or meticulous maintenance of a classic cut, the experience is consistently described as professional, friendly, and detail-oriented.

The structure of Da's practice as an independent stylist ensures that every client receives focused, one-on-one attention during their booking. This is particularly valuable for complex services like a **Double Process** color or a first-time **Bob/Long Layers** cut, where detailed communication is essential. The result is an exceptional hair service that leaves clients "feeling confident" and satisfied with a consistent, expertly crafted style.

The experience is designed to be welcoming and accommodating. As an independent service provider operating within the larger Eclipse Salon framework, the studio is equipped with essential amenities for client comfort. Importantly, the location is noted for its high level of inclusivity and convenience, offering:

• Accessibility for people with disabilities, ensuring a comfortable visit for all clients.
• Amenities such as **Wi-Fi** to keep clients connected during longer services.
• A highly welcoming atmosphere that is both **Child-friendly** and allows **Pets allowed**, making scheduling easier for many Chicago residents.

• Precision Haircutting and Styling: Da is known for mastery in both short, technical cuts and longer, layered styles, with pricing based on the complexity and time required:
  • Classic Taper/Skin Fade: A highly popular service, known for its clean lines, attention to detail, and low-maintenance style. (45 min, $50.00)
  • Mid Length Haircut: Focuses on scissor work for styles like classic layers or mullets, emphasizing effortless flow. (50 min, $65.00)
  • Bob/Long Layers: Precision cuts that are meticulously tailored to be easy to maintain, taking into account hair density and natural texture.
  • Maintenance Trim: A quick service for maintaining short cuts, specifically a Side Trim & Neck Clean Up, to be booked between full haircuts only. (Within 5 weeks from last haircut)
• Custom Color and Lightening Services: All color services begin with a complimentary consultation to ensure the desired outcome is achievable and tailored to the client's hair history:
  • Single Process Color: Ideal for a simple coloring service, such as a root touch-up, achieving a bright or rich all-over color, or covering gray hair. ($100.00+)
  • Double Process: A more involved service for all-over lightening and toning. ($120.00+)
  • Platinum card (All Over): A comprehensive service for maximum lightness from root to tip. ($180.00+)
• Texture and Chemical Services:
  • Regular Perm: Designed to create natural, "lived-in look curls" that promote more flow and easy styling, currently catering to short or mid-length hair only. ($100.00+)

• Gender-Affirming Service Specialist: A primary highlight is the focus on crafting a truly **gender-affirming service**. This goes beyond a standard haircut, ensuring the style respects and reflects the client's identity, a critical and highly valued specialization in the Chicago area.
• Independent Stylist Dedication: Operating as an independent stylist allows for maximum attention to detail and a deeper relationship with the client. Clients consistently report that Da is "consistent, detail-oriented," and takes the necessary time for a personalized experience.
• Mastery of Short, Technical Cuts: The frequent booking and stellar reviews for the **Classic Taper/Skin Fade** services confirm an expertise in sharp, short, and men's styles, which are often difficult to find at a consistent, high level in a general hair salon setting.
• Consultative and Educational Approach: Da not only delivers a great look but also provides valuable "hair care/styling tips" and demonstrates how to style the hair, ensuring the client can replicate the salon-quality look every day.
• Inclusive and Accommodating Environment: The location's acceptance of children and pets, along with its accessibility, underscores a commitment to making the high-quality service available and stress-free for a broader demographic of Chicago residents.
