    The Inside Scoop: Salon Serene in the West Loop

    In the lively West Loop, my lifeless locks found refuge inside Salon Serene. As a self-professed, long-standing fan of Highlights (full-head no less), my tresses were due for an overhaul, a task I trusted with celebrated owner and stylist Laura Barsotti.

    After I parked my car in a convenient metered spot, I trotted into the salon to find a large, clean space showcasing exposed rafters, concrete floors, splashes of purple on the walls, and a complimentary beverage bar. I was also pleased to discover its boutique-style atmosphere as opposed to a high- traffic salon with an impersonal feel. I checked in at the reception desk for my color and haircut appointment and was pleasantly guided through the entire space.
