Arlington Heights salon to host June 22 open house
When many women are asked if they have a referral for a hair stylist, the response is often “Yes, go to my girl.”
Since April of 2024, that has been more than a general response as clients across the Northwest suburbs have discovered the expert stylists and colorists and inviting atmosphere of My Girl Collaborative Salon in Arlington Heights. The rapidly growing business is targeting June 22 for an open house to celebrate their 1-year anniversary.
Founders Ami Weintraub and Katie Luczak brought more than 30 years of collective experience to their new venture last year.
Utilizing their vast experience in cutting and coloring hair, they created a new salon that was creative and welcoming for both clients and stylists.
The salon features 8 chairs, 6 of which are leased to other stylists who share the same passion and values in running their own businesses located inside My Girl.
“We believe in building a supportive, inclusive community that thrives on collaboration over competition,” said Luczak. “Our business model is one that is gaining traction in our industry, but we feel ours has an advantage in the way we are committed to collaborating with each other as well as within the community.”
My Girl Salon includes 8 chairs for cutting, styling, and coloring, 3 luxury shampoo stations, a processing area for clients to relax or work on their laptop while also enjoying complimentary
Wi-Fi, coffee, tea, carbonated beverages and snacks. In addition, clients are invited to browse the extensive retail shelves filled with a variety of professional hair care products to fit every budget. As an added touch, they’ve included a free library where you can bring a book to share or take a book to read.
“Reaching this first anniversary is definitely something to celebrate,” said Weintraub. “Katie and I had a wide range of experiences throughout our careers, and we feel like we have brought all the best practices to My Girl Collaborative. Our established and loyal clients as well as our new clients have really embraced our space. We’re excited to celebrate with them at our open house.”
That event is scheduled to take place from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.
My Girl Collaborative Salon is located at 1822 N. Arlington Heights Road in Arlington Heights.
With a full set of stylists and colorists keeping every station in the salon busy, Luczak and Weintraub are excited to see what year two will bring.
“So much of our first year was focused on just getting things up and running,” Luczak said. “Now we can look forward to really seeing how much My Girl can flourish.”
