The Hair Retreat by Elyse Clark

Whatever your vibe… I got you. ✂️ From precision Alt cuts to 25” luxury extensions and fiery dimensional color, my expertise spans all things hair.

This edgy, technical cut for Hope was such a blast to create! She drives up from Champaign, IL to the Chicago ‘burbs to see me, and always trusts me to bring her inspo to life. 💇🏼‍♀️

Can we take a moment for my sisters blonde?! 🤍

This was round two of a full platinum card using the AirTouch technique- designed for maximum brightness with the softest, most natural grow-out possible. For this visit, we focused on the regrowth retouch only, keeping lightener off the ends to preserve integrity. Instead, we gave the mids and ends a treatment boost to keep the hair strong, shiny, and healthy- my new blonde must have!

The result? Seamless dimension, no harsh lines, and healthier hair than when we started. Blonde done right doesn’t just look good- it lasts, it blends, and it gets better with time. 🤩

Even after 16 weeks of grow-out… she was still getting compliments! 💪🏼

Rehearsal Dinner Hair for the Bride-to-Be • Brooke 🤍

17 years behind the chair together, and this weekend is extra special. Brooke isn’t just a client, she’s family. She and her mom have supported me through every season of my career and life, and now I get to support her through one of the most meaningful seasons of her life. 🤍

True to who she is, Brooke found this stunning, romantic hairstyle with so much care and intention. Effortless, timeless, and the perfect preview of her bridal beauty. ✨

Bridal hair dreams in motion! Just wait until you see her wedding day look… 🤍

14 YEARS 🎉 + 3X NOMINEE 🏆

What. A. Week.
On July 1st, I celebrated 14 years in business and received my third consecutive nomination for — and honestly, I’m still soaking it all in.

Creating a space where guests feel welcome, relaxed, and beautiful has always been the goal. But building The Hair Retreat was also something deeply personal — a sanctuary for myself. A place where I can feel peace, find inspiration, and stay balanced.

This studio has shaped me just as much as I’ve shaped hair within it. It’s taught me how to sustain a long, fulfilling career while staying true to my values — and that my best work always starts with how I care for myself.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey — thank you. Here’s to many more years of beauty, balance, and badass hair. 💇‍♀️💫
