Inside Hideaway Hair Studio
The Beginning

Built on Passion

Hideaway Hair Studio was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a space where they can truly relax, be themselves, and leave feeling like the best version of themselves.

Founded by Annie Pursel, our studio is more than just a place to get your hair done. It's a retreat from the everyday. Nestled in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, we've created an intimate environment where artistry and comfort come together.

Every detail, from the welcoming atmosphere to the personalized consultations, is designed with you in mind. Because at Hideaway, it's not just about the hair. It's about the experience.
