Our Story

Ida's Salon opened in Northbrook in 1970 with a simple goal. We wanted to create a place where people could get great hair care in a friendly setting. Now, over 50 years later, our salon is still Northbrook's go-to place for all hair needs.

We've grown from a small family shop to a full-service salon that many Northbrook locals trust. Through all the changing hair trends over the years, one thing stays the same – we care about our clients and their hair.

We keep our founding caring touch while bringing in new hair techniques and products. This mix of old and new is why many Northbrook families have been coming to us for decades.
